All right, news uh round of information overload hour, toll free numbers 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, the great migration that has begun out of these blue states, deep blue states like New York and New Jersey and Illinois and California just continues, and for good reason, people are sick and tired of you know endless bureaucracy.
Now, Governor Ron DeSantis put out a big uh ex post today saying that property taxes effectively require homeowners to pay rent to the government.
Constitutional protections for Florida homeowners require approval of voters in 2026.
In the meantime, Florida's need relief.
I am today proposing a plan that will result on average a thousand dollar rebate check for each homestead as a discount on their property taxes.
If the legislature acts on this plan now, we can get this done this year.
Let's get it done for the people of Florida this session.
And the president and the governors push him very, very hard for this.
Now, also, along with all of the investments that Donald Trump is bringing into the country, there is a reason why states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, a few others, they they keep drawing industry into their home states because they make it a business-friendly environment.
In the state of Florida, for example, they are adopting doge-like cuts.
We'll talk to the governor about that.
But they're also, the governor mentioned manufacturing continues to grow all over the state of Florida, which means that's high-paying career jobs for American workers, in this case, Floridians that want great jobs, career jobs for themselves, and and other other loved ones.
Listen.
When I became governor, we set a goal of increasing the number of manufacturing businesses and jobs in the state of Florida.
And I'm happy to report we have succeeded beyond our wildest expectations.
Since 2019, Florida has added almost 50,000 new manufacturing jobs.
And over the same period of time, we've increased the number of manufacturing businesses in the Sunshine State by more than 30%.
These are good jobs, these are strong businesses.
We need to be making things in the United States, and there's no better place to make things than the free state of Florida.
Anyway, Governor Ron DeSantis joins us now.
Governor, great to talk to you.
are you?
We're doing really good, Sean.
We're just rocking and rolling.
I really appreciate you highlighting the growth in manufacturing jobs because as President Trump works to put America first, he stressed the need to have a strong manufacturing base.
That's something that we've been seeking to do in Florida since the time I became governor.
And to have over 50,000 manufacturing jobs created over a six-year period with a third, a 33% increase in manufacturing businesses.
We've really never seen anything like that.
Florida had always been more of an agriculture and tourism state and we still do those things well, but we are continuing to expand our manufacturing footprint.
And I think the U.S. needs to be able to produce good products and make things.
And we certainly think of the state of Florida.
We're an ideal location for folks that want to be productive and they want to be treated well.
You know, Sean, you've come from New York.
have talked about how pleasant it's been.
I've got guys that have moved businesses from New York, and the things that they'll tell me is, you know, you feel like in Florida they actually want you to succeed.
In New York, you feel like you're a burden to just the fact that you're trying to do business.
And so we've really fostered that culture, and it's paid off, and more opportunities for our citizens.
I mean, we had the Attorney General James Uthmeyer on the program earlier today talking about the Tesla takedown and how the law enforcement in Florida has been instructed that they're not going to put up with any disorderly conduct, any acts of domestic terrorism.
And they were all over every Tesla dealership all around the state this weekend.
And meanwhile, you had all this trouble around the country.
In other states, they tend to be blue states where defund, dismantle, no bail law mentalities exist.
exist.
We didn't have any major incidents in the state of Florida.
That's because you Yeah look that goes back to the beginning.
I mean when I came in we rejected all the jailbreak legislation that the blue states were doing you know we weren't going to get rid of bail we weren't going to lower penalties we weren't going to let people out and certainly not going to allow California style policies.
You can go in and loot a store for $999.
Then when the BLM riots were happening in Minnesota and elsewhere we said not happening in Florida.
You will be held accountable and as a result you didn't see cities burning down in Florida.
We've also enacted legislation that penalizes people if they riot, if they block traffic, if they do all this stuff so when you had the Hamas people try to take over a street in Miami they were on the street for 13 minutes before they got dragged off that street.
We had another one in Orlando, Florida Highway Patrol beat Miami's record.
They got them off in 11 minutes.
This is like 100 Hamas people, and they're just taken off.
And then you have situations like Tesla.
Nobody in their right mind is going to want to do this in Florida because you will be held accountable very swiftly and very severely.
And the result of all this, Sean, we support law enforcement, all this.
We have a 50-year low in the crime rate in the state of Florida.
And so the leadership matters, the policy matters.
But what's going on with the left, you know, Sean, it's interesting.
if anyone on the right did even a fraction of this stuff you know you had Antifa creating mayhem for years.
The BLM riots unbelievable the Tesla stuff and they think they can just skate on all this because in these blue jurisdictions they don't get held accountable.
There's a major double standard we don't obviously accept that in Florida the Trump administration no doesn't accept that even though the Biden administration did but this is terrorism when you're going after the Tesla dealerships.
Can you just list quickly the the categories in which Florida is number one I know you're number one in education nationwide but in a lot of areas you've become number one.
Economy two years in a row by CNBC and I think you and I Sean know C N B C does not want to rank Florida one.
They would rather uh someone other state do that.
We're also number one in higher education our public university system is ranked number one in the United States and part of the reason we are is because uh I have not allowed any tuition increases at our state universities and so Florida residents pay about sixty three hundred dollars uh to go to you know really strong universities.
We've got four public universities in the top 50 public universities in the entire country.
We're close to the lowest in crime reduction.
We're close to the lowest, if not lowest, in tax burden.
We do have the lowest per capita debt of any state in the United States of America.
We're number one in entrepreneurship, new business formations, and talent development, and probably some other ones, but sometimes it's hard to lose track because we've got a lot of good stuff that's happening.
yeah we're proud of the success we obviously you'll have more work to do but it's been um it's been great to be able to put the points on the board.
If I'm correct I believe this mass migration away from blue states with high taxes and burdensome regulation is going to continue.
You also have the age issue uh there's still people that are baby boomers that for whatever reason they're tied to to some of these blue states.
So I would argue there's uh probably a 10 to 15 year window minimum in which this migration to Florida is going to happen.
Now I don't think these are bad problems.
Uh the result of which has resulted in much higher property values for people.
That means and that becomes for most people that's their biggest investment.
You know you've seen this too I mean the when when people when there's a demand to come and there has been look there's always been people that have moved you know you're gonna retire from Minnesota, warmer weather, whatever.
I think what's happened more recently is we've drawn a very sharp contrast with the left on how to govern a state.
And so that has really accelerated it.
And so you know some Floridians in many ways have benefited because their homes that maybe they purchased 20 years ago, the value has gone up tremendously.
That's the number one source of wealth that many Floridians have.
But you know the flip side of that is as property values are higher, people do get hit from the local level with higher property taxes.
And the local government say oh we're not increasing the millage but if you're assessing the property at much higher levels, even with a homestead protection, people are still getting hit and it's it's an unrealized gain because until someone actually does a transaction with you, you don't know exactly how much your your your house is worth.
It's a guess and so people that have purchased this particularly some of our senior citizens many years ago are now facing this.
If you have to move at some point to another place in Florida you're buying at higher levels and the tax basis is higher.
So this has been one of the main things that have pinched folks as we've been in an inflationary economy under Biden, I think it's going to get better you know under under President Trump.
But but this is where really they need relief and so that's why we're working on the property tax relief because I think it's it's answering one of the main things one of the main challenges that Floridians are having.
The first question everybody would ask is okay if you're uh successful in getting this on the ballot and it was approved by voters and you would need sixty percent of voters to approve it in twenty twenty six I don't really know many people they are going to vote for a higher property taxes.
I just don't the odds of it passing would be pretty high.
Do I think special interest would probably try and and and lie to people and manipulate them into thinking somehow a a tax cut on their property taxes would be bad.
But if you look at different municipalities because of the reevaluation of properties this has now become a a big issue in Florida.
And then the question is well how do you make up the revenue if in the last four years these these local towns municipalities have been able to especially in the coastal areas double triple the amount of revenue they're taking in every year.
Well that's what we're doing is uh we're working with the legislature in this legislative session to provide legislative authorization for us to doge local governments.
So we will send in doge team to these counties and some of the bigger municipalities have lawful authority to have the keys to the kingdom to be able to go in, look at their systems, the contracts all this stuff.
And I think what we'll be able to show is well one we know we'll be able to show uh that you've seen a massive growth in the budgets in these places over the last five or six years.
And so they say oh if you if you if you do the property tax we're not going to be that's not true.
They they've voted so you can absolutely reduce these budgets and so when people ask what's going to happen, yeah you need to reduce budgets but you also have an ability to shift the tax in Florida is unique because we have so many visitors we have so many part-time residents we have so many foreign resident visitors who come in that you can shift the tax burden to to those sectors rather than Floridians and so this that would be done more at the local level but
if you ask people would you rather not have to pay property taxes if that meant that Canadians and Brazilians maybe paid more hotel tax, I think a hundred percent of Floridians would say that's a trade that they would want to make.
Having traveled occasionally abroad every single place I've ever been they charge massive amounts of money in taxes to foreigners.
I mean the the fact that that I I think it's a great innovative way to do it.
So what does the legislature have to do to make that happen so this becomes a referendum vote in 2026?
Well one I mean we want to do this tax cut this year to give a bridge to next year but I think what'll happen is if we do do the doge, we have the data, we're able to show hey here's the way forward you know we're going to be able to provide relief,
we're going to be able to have all the stuff function still then it goes on the uh in front of the legislature next uh spring and they need to get a certain certain majority, supermajority to pass it, and then it goes on the ballot in November of 2026.
And at that point it's a 60% threshold.
And you know, I mean, uh I I think that there's a good chance it'll pass, but these things are these things are tricky.
It's uh anything can get 50, but to get 60, you gotta have uh really good good stuff.
So there'll be a lot of distortions.
But that that's for another day.
But yes, the the that that would be the process.
Let's get it on the ballot uh for November of 2026.
And the reason why we have to go on the ballot is just because although the state has a small role in some of the proper taxes that go to fund schools, uh this is this power is vested in local governments.
And so when you're getting your tax bill, that's local government, that money is going overwhelmingly uh to local government.
And so we don't control that.
We don't control the valuations at the state level.
That's all being done locally, so that's why you need the constitutional reform to give taxpayers the protection.
All right, quick break more with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and then your calls on the other side, 800 941 Sean, as we continue this Monday straight ahead.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markovitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.

We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Let me give you the last question because we're running out of time.
Is it true that you are giving back money that the federal government or you gave back a billion dollars to the federal government that they gave the state of Florida?
That's right.
So I've never heard of any state ever doing that.
Well, Biden had woke strings attached to the money, even the highway money.
You I I they wanted me to do um uh tailpipe emission.
I had to I had to uh regulate people's tailpipe admission.
I'm not gonna do that, Sean.
You your tailpipe is your tailpipe.
We're gonna keep the government out of that.
But here's the thing Biden's people, and then they wanted all this refugee money for illegals, and we didn't want to do that.
So we tried to send it back to Biden.
They didn't know what to do.
They didn't know how to accept it.
That had never happened before.
So we went a week.
That's hilarious.
And we met with Elon Musk, and Elon's like, wait a minute, you want to give us money back?
I was like, Yeah, Biden wouldn't take it.
He's like, Oh no, we'll figure it out.
He got one of his dose guys.
Yeah, we'll figure out how to take your money.
That's not a problem.
Governor Ron DeSantis from my free state of Florida.
Governor, we appreciate your time as always.
And by the way, James is doing a great job as your new attorney general.
I think it was a great pick.
Yeah, um should uh be very, very uh glad that he's in there.
And people in Daytona Beach and people in the panhandle need to vote tomorrow because we have the congressional seats up for grabs, and these are two very vital seats for Republicans in Washington.
So uh anyway, Governor, we appreciate your time.
800 941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, 25 now until the top of the hour.
Toll free our numbers eight hundred nine four-one Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh everybody needs a personal safety security strategy.
We live in a very violent world.
Unfortunately, what do you do if you're threatened?
Well, that's where burner comes in.
It is the less lethal option.
That would be my first choice instead of the lethal option.
As a matter of fact, I just got two brand new burners Over the weekend, uh, that have uh they have those little red dots in them, Linda.
You know what they called?
That means you can't miss you.
That means you would shoot 100%, which would be you know, almost impossible under any other circumstances.
Uh, but in all fairness, uh, it is incredible technology.
Go watch their videos when you go to burner.com slash Hannity, you'll get 10% off any purchase.
That's BYRNA.com slash Hannity.
I'll tell you the story of Bob Brayton, and he was at home, an intruder physically forces his way inside.
Luckily, Bob he had just got his burner four days prior to the incident, and he used it to backput the guy off of his property, and Bob said his initial purchase was two launchers from Burner to try them out, and now he's gonna buy several more.
That's why I got a couple of extra ones, so they're strategically placed around my house.
If God forbid something happens, it's legal in all 50 states.
You don't need a per uh permit, you don't need a background check, and it will incapacitate any perpetrator for 30 to 40 minutes.
Look at the technology, watch the videos, B Y R N A.com slash Hannity, you get 10% off any purchase.

Um, and oh, I gotta tell you a Tesla story because I got the Tesla S plaid and I'm now driving, Linda.
So over the weekend, I went to see the chosen, because they have season five just came out.
The next three weekends in a row, actually, they have this one started with Jesus at the Last Supper.
I mean, this show is very, very powerful.
I've watched it a couple of times.
You can get it on Apple if you want to watch seasons one through four.
Um, but they had it in theaters this weekend, so I went to go see the movie.
Finish the movie.
Now, Tesla's technology so sophisticated that I literally had the car that was parked, and I I go on the Tesla app and I press a button, and the car unparks itself.
There's no driver in it, and drives to my location, sort of like concierge service.
Uh wait a minute, wait a minute.
Valet service.
What do you mean when you're gonna do it?
Explain that again.
Explain that again.
So you're gonna go to the city.
I get out of the movie theater.
Okay.
That's correct.
I go on the Tesla app.
And then my car, I just go on the Tesla app, I press a button, and the car will unpark itself, drive to me and pick me up.
Like a valet would.
That's crazy.
Isn't it crazy?
I didn't even know it could do that.
I use the self-driving mode, and I it is incre I drove 40 minutes on the highway, and I didn't I didn't put my foot on the gas once.
I didn't put I did not one time touch the steering wheel.
Except I well, I do touch it just a little bit just to kind of keep a little hold of it.
Do you realize once I picked up my phone, it gives a big alert.
If you pick up your phone two or three times, it'll shut off the auto drive.
Because it knows that you're using your phone.
How good how incredible is that?
Oh my God.
This thing goes from zero to sixty.
It has over a thousand horsepower.
Goes from zero to sixty in one point nine nine seconds.
Is that incredible?
Honestly, it's I thought that you love the XOXO car, but it sounds like this weekend you may have uh.
I don't have an XOXO car.
Oh my gosh.
Do you not know what what other car I like?
The Corvette Z06 with the Z07 package.
Well, if you love it, then you should love that I call it the XOXO car.
Okay.
This is now and here's the interesting part.
You can watch uh online if you Google it, the Tesla S plaid in races against the Corvette Z06, against the Bugatti, against the Lamborghini, against the Porsche, and this car is faster than all of them.
It beats them all.
I've never I I mean you almost feel like you have a G force when you put it in super mode.
Yikes.
That's how quick this car is.
I've never, and it's the tightest you know, driving car, you could take it on a racetrack tomorrow.
It's so incredible.
Oh my gosh.
And what color did you get again?
Black on black?
I did.
I did.
So if you want to drive it, like if you want to drive it, like, you know, and not have self-driving, how do you do that?
I've you just drive you start driving it.
And then if you want to, if you put in your navigation, what your destination is, then you literally push a button, you hold it for a second, and it just self-driving takes over.
I mean, it's the weirdest thing to just sit there and watch the steering wheel turn like left and turn right and put the blinkers on for you that does it all.
Yeah, that's wild.
And does it now let me ask you this?
And this, you know, just try to be honest.
I know it's hard, but you know, does it stay?
I mean, it's hard to know you can you can actually set it up to keep up with traffic, and that's what I do for there is nobody in Florida that drives the speed limit.
It's actually dangerous if you do drive the speed limit.
Okay.
And I'm a very safe driver.
So I it it changes lane on its own.
It will change lanes for you.
That's insane.
Okay.
That's really just to keep up with traffic.
Let's say somebody's going 55 miles an hour, and I'm stuck behind him.
I don't have to take it out of self-driving mode.
It just changes lanes when it's safe, and then it will keep up with traffic with the rest of the traffic on the on the highway.
So now, when you were driving, what kind of looks were you getting?
I don't know.
I don't look at other people when I'm driving.
All the things everybody was just like, the most amazing thing was because I really don't believe in texting and driving.
I'm very I have a pretty strict rule about that.
And I did pick up my phone once because I wasn't it was in self-drive mode.
It's like it knew immediately.
And it says pay attention.
It's incredible.
Yeah, I've never seen one.
I've never driven one, so I really just don't know anything about it at all.
Uh you know, I had a couple of friends of mine that would try to tell me how great it was, and I just kind of blew them off.
And now that uh now that I'm all into this technology, it has and by the way, my reason for buying Tesla is because of the evil that they're perpetrating against this guy.
Absolutely.
I'm just I'm just taking a stand.
I stand uh as far as I'm concerned, he's a he's a victim of domestic terrorism.
I don't want to see his employees lose their jobs, and I needed a new car anyway.
And so I figured, you know what, why don't I give one away?
And that I really want to support the company.
And now that I have now that I understand how great this technology is, i if you think of every other car on the road, there's nothing comparable to this.
I know that there are cars that will park for you.
I know that there are cars coming on the market that will have self-driving capability, but they all ripped off Elon Musk.
It's not like they figured it out on their own.
He just built this thing from nothing, and it's the fastest car on the road, and it's it's the most American-made car on the road, which means American chops for every part.
Now, I don't know anything about when I well when I when I met the the salesperson who came over to show me the car, they deliver the car to me, and I traded in another car.
I had made that deal with them.
And by the way, they don't even need to see the car that they you're trading in.
They just want to they they want pictures and then they want the mileage, and that's it.
And they want to know if it's in an accident, then they do their own background check on it.
It's it's incredible.
But could you get out of a busy movie theater, you press a button, and the car comes to you and picks you up.
I mean, I have to say, you know, for me, you know, just I mean, I don't have one, but I mean, the whole idea that this guy is kind of given his life to to the country and has built all these amazing, I mean, he's not just creating American jobs and you know, keeping everything American made, and then he's got these awesome cars.
You know, I was reading about this guy this weekend who was in an accident with his daughter, and he was in a cyber truck, and the police said, had you been in any other car, he they would have totally split the car in half, and you you and your daughter would not have made it.
So he's like, Oh my gosh, he's like, I'm going out this week and I'm getting the cyber beast.
I guess there's another car, the cyber beast.
I don't know.
Um, but it just shows you, I mean, it's like he's not just rescuing astronauts from space and looking for life on Mars, but he's like taking care of people here, you know, right now.
Everybody needs a lot of people.
There's only two reasons he's hated.
His relationship with Trump and the fact that he has exposed waste, fraud, and abuse at levels nobody ever dreamed of.
I think it's because we've exposed the creators of waste fraud and abuse, not just the waste of an abuse.
It's the people behind it.
And how they have and how they basically have stolen the people's money and misappropriated it and covered it up.
They they didn't put down DEI for Burma.
They didn't put down, you know, garbage disposal uh for Vietnam.
They didn't put down, you know, 40 million taxpayer dollars for Sesame Street in Iraq.
They didn't put any of these things down.
And now it's over 130 billion taxpayer dollars, over $800 per taxpayer.
That's a lot of savings.
And that's why they hate them.
Anyway, just go to Hannity.com, click on the Tesla icon.
You can register once a day, every day now through April the 11th, and then you get to pick the the winner will get to pick the Tesla of their choice, and I'll be my pleasure to buy it for them.
That's pretty cool.
And and then your car will drive up to you.
It's amazing.
Um let's get to our phones.
Ted in Arizona.
Hey Ted, how are you?
John.
Great American Patriots that you are.
Um I'm calling you about uh the situation in Congress with uh Crockett.
Honestly, how you I don't know how you feel about her, but we've just had a car attacks of uh musks in uh New Mexico and all.
Right.
And they have got to stop this.
She is they've got to censure her.
I'll talk to Johnson's uh Speaker Johnson's office, and I've spoken to uh uh representative uh in Tennessee.
I own property and vote all three states Virginia, Tennessee, and Arizona.
And she is crocked of them have to stop this man.
They have to stop it.
It's clever caused somebody to get killed.
Do you feel where I'm coming from?
I I think if we're not careful, at a minimum, there is if this continues, people are gonna end up losing their jobs, people that have no involvement in politics at all.
Working men and women that have career jobs are at risk of losing them if they they continue this.
That's number one.
You keep firing bullets into Tesla dealerships, somebody's gonna get hit, and somebody's gonna get hurt, and somebody might end up dying.
You keep blowing up Teslas and charging stations, people are going to get hurt.
That's a re that is a reason why we call it domestic terrorism, because that's exactly what it is.
Domestic terrorism.
And it's gotta end.
Anyway, Ted, appreciate it.
Dave in New Jersey, we have one minute.
It's all yours.
Go for it.
How are you?
Good.
Hi, Sean.
How are you doing today?
I'm good.
Good.
First of all, I just want to say you're definitely the most powerful media man in the world.
So I I think I don't know about that part, but Yeah, no, it's true.
It's true.
And I think it's great you take calls.
So my um my question is there was talks that Trump was going to try to do a reciprocity for uh concealed carriers, which which I am, and I think you are too.
And I want I'm a concealed carry, yeah.
I think it should I think there should be reciprocity around the country.
Yeah.
Uh I think that second amendment right is constitutional.
And I think I don't think states should be able to I think it should be honored by every state.
I think ultimately it's going to be challenged in the courts, and that's where it's going to be decided, and I think we'll win.
Do you know when about this this may uh go on?
I don't know.
My understanding is that there's a case that was making its way up.
I forget if the court took it or not.
If if it does, you know, I think that I think the odds are pretty high that it would come out our way.
You know, when I left New York, I had to hand in my license.
I had to deregister to vote.
I had hand in my gun license.
I mean, you have to do everything.
I did not want to hand in, you know, I I still have family in New York, so occasionally, very rarely, I I don't like to go up there at all.
If I do, I go in and I go out.
You know, I try and fly in and out the same day.
And I just don't want to spend a lot of time there because I know that the the tax people up there want to come after me with a vengeance because I know everybody down in Florida is is harassed by New York tax people.
So I'm not giving them any reason to come after me.
And then they'll probably come after me anyway, and I'll make it all very public.
All right.
Thank you, Sean.
All right, buddy.
I agree with you, though.
