1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Ronda Santis, governor of Florida. He was on the Fox

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: and Friends Morning Show and he was saying how Congress

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything since August.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: Listen to this. What should be the bullet points. I

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: think it's economy. Immigration. We don't talk about immigration as

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: much as we were maybe when Biden was letting it in.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: The border is secure, we've stopped the influx. He's now

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: working on a moratorium of new people coming in, particularly

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: from some of these countries where the people are hostile.

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: That's a huge victory for people. Then you be talking

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: about that and go even bolder on that, I just

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: think you got to be bold. I think you've got

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: to be strong. And I think one of the frustrations

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: with the Congress is what have they done since August

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: till now? They really haven't done anything right. And it's

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: like if I'd be like every day coming out with

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: something new and make the Democrats go on the record

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: show the contrast. Think about what we've been able to

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: win big in Florida is because there's a very sharp

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: contrast to what we're doing and what the liberal Democrats

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: stand for. Parents' rights, illegal immigration, you know, tax anything

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: you can think of most voters knew we were on

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: their side, and I think you got to really make

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: that sharp. But I would tell you, you know, the

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: Democrats they caused a lot of this with the inflation,

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: and now they're acting like it's like they had nothing

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: to do with it. Are you too good of the catch?

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: You got to come in more ale? Yeah?

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but wait, wait, wait a second.

30
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: You can.

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: Put that to the Republicans too. They act like it's

32
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: all Democrats that caused the inflation. Everybody's guilty in this,

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: And I get what he's saying, and he's right. Have

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: you noticed there's been almost no sales pitch of the

35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 3: big bullcrap bill.

36
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't heard a lot about it.

37
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 3: Numerous publications have had articles about this that it's really

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: frustrating a lot of these especially you know, House members

39
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: are going to be in these tight races, who say,

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: wait a second, we went on a limb for you.

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: We voted on something that was deemed very kind of

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: unpopular when it passed. And normally when a president gets

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: a signature agenda item, he goes around out around the country,

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: whereas his people go out and keeps talking about it.

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: You haven't seen any of this we had. Ben and

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: I were talking Ben verbannikrom from Tara hate WTHI and

47
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: Tara Hote. We were having conversation last night with our

48
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: waitress when we were out watching the Bears game and

49
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: there was almost nobody in this bar last night, and

50
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: we were like, dude, usually Sundays are pretty good when

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: the NFL is going on. People go out do stuff.

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: And we were talking to her. She goes, well, you know,

53
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: last night was just super packed. But she was saying,

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: this is more of a reflection now, not on Fridays

55
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: or Saturdays, they do okay, but the day to day

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 3: operations or flow is more of what you're seeing here

57
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: on this Sunday rather than how well we did on

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: the you know, the game last night.

59
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: That was more than norm throughout the week.

60
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: Right. And then when Ben and I were walking back

61
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: to the to the radio station, this is seven thirty, right,

62
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 3: We're not talking. This is not midnight. This is seven

63
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: thirty on a Sunday, and the city's vacant, like there's nobody.

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: It's like some dystopian like or well thing. And we're

65
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: looking around at all these businesses, including these high end

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: restaurants and We're saying, I wonder how they're doing it,

67
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: because not only you're not seeing people out on the streets.

68
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: And again, it's Christmas time. As a kid, you know,

69
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: kid or even an adulting come down here, trees lit up,

70
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: People are coming to see the thing. It's a Sunday night.

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: The weather wasn't you know, it wasn't sixty and sunny,

72
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: but it also wasn't minus ten. You normally see all

73
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 3: sorts of people out and about, and there's nobody here.

74
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: And so one of the problems the Republicans are having

75
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: is the same thing the Democrats had last year, which is,

76
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: you can put up whatever numbers you want and you

77
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: can say, oh, this, by this measure, the economy's great.

78
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: You can't make people not believe in their own experience.

79
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: You can't make people not believe their own life that

80
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: they're living day to day. And it's like Trump's doing

81
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: the same thing Biden did. No, no, no, It's great. Well,

82
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: but it's not.

83
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Another thing that Ron DeSantis was saying was that a

84
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: lot of the Republicans they rode into office on Trump's coattails,

85
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: and they're not going to be able to do that again.

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: A couple things why in an off year mid term,

87
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: the party in powers voters tend to be more complacent.

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: Party out of power, they get upset, right, That's just

89
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: the nature of midterms. We saw it when Obama was

90
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: in and Republicans ki so that dynamic is always going

91
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: to be there. And then I think Republicans have an

92
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: issue that Donald Trump has created a big pool of voters,

93
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: but some of them are unique to him, right, so

94
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: they will go vote for Trump and they'll vote for

95
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: all the Republicans when Trump's on the ballt but if

96
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: he's not on the ballot, some of them don't vote. Now,

97
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: you can overcome that. We did in Florida in twenty

98
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: twenty two. You know, we had a state that was

99
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: a purple state, one point state. We won by a

100
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: million and a half votes, twenty points, the biggest Republican

101
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: victory ever. But we did that based on results and substance.

102
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: We get it by flying under a banner of bold colors,

103
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: not pale paestals. We were sticking it to the left

104
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: every single day and delivering big victory. So it can

105
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: be done. But I think it's like, you can't go

106
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: on twenty twenty four and say oh, well, we Republicans

107
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: won this district by ten points, so therefore we're going

108
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: to win it because President Trump is the reason you want.

109
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: But what do you say,
