Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott.
Speaker 2: You an hour two Sean Hannity Show this Friday, toll
Speaker 2: free on numbers eight hundred and nine, P FOURT one, Shawn,
Speaker 2: if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 2: It is amazing that some people get it and then
Speaker 2: some people will never get it. And what do I
Speaker 2: mean by that? In my free state of Florida. This
Speaker 2: state has been transformed because of conservative policies being implemented
Speaker 2: at the highest level under Governor Ronda Centus and with
Speaker 2: the help of President Trump. They've been a great one
Speaker 2: two combination. And for whatever reason, you always have those Republicans,
Speaker 2: I don't want to you can call them a establishment
Speaker 2: maybe inclined to being Republicans and name only institutionalists. You
Speaker 2: know that even you're making all of this success and
Speaker 2: then there becomes a resistance to what is been so
Speaker 2: successful and necessary to change or to take it to
Speaker 2: the next level. And it is bizarre. I'm watching in
Speaker 2: my free state of Florida, and I do this as
Speaker 2: a cautionary tell for other states that have made so
Speaker 2: much progress implementing, for example, either American First or a
Speaker 2: state first agenda. And for whatever reason, in recent months,
Speaker 2: there has been some kind of I would describe as
Speaker 2: more Rhino Republicans in the Florida House, and a bit
Speaker 2: of tension has emerged, reflecting a deeper power struggle within
Speaker 2: the state's Republican party. And I'm having a hard time
Speaker 2: comprehending why. You know, these guys in Tallahassee are pushing
Speaker 2: back on very key aspects of the governor's agenda, for example,
Speaker 2: stalling his preferred condo reform bill and.
Speaker 1: It became a big deal.
Speaker 2: You might remember that condo building fell down in Miami,
Speaker 2: and also rejecting his special Session on immigration in favor
Speaker 2: of crafting their own which is a far less aggressive bill.
Speaker 2: On top of that, the House advancing their own sales
Speaker 2: tax cut plan well, while Governor DeSantis is saying no.
Speaker 2: The biggest problem in Florida has been, especially in the
Speaker 2: coastal areas of Florida, is property values because of the
Speaker 2: great migration, have gone up dramatically. And as they have
Speaker 2: gone up, so to have property taxes, which is now,
Speaker 2: you know, literally threatening future growth in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: And they still have.
Speaker 2: We still have at least another ten fifteen years of
Speaker 2: significant migration with baby boomers retiring and anyway, so I
Speaker 2: thought i'd bring on Governor DeSantis as a sort of
Speaker 2: maybe a canary in the coal mine that you've really
Speaker 2: got to keep your foot on the gas and keep
Speaker 2: people honest at all times.
Speaker 1: Governor, A great to have you back. How are you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Good? You know, Sean, I've been on many times
Speaker 3: if you talking about how we used to be a
Speaker 3: swing state. Now we have one point two million more
Speaker 3: Republicans than Democrats, and so you know, that's a success,
Speaker 3: but it also creates its own challenges because I think
Speaker 3: people realize, unless you're in like a really deep blue
Speaker 3: part of Florida, you can't get elected with a D
Speaker 3: by your name. You've got to run as a Republican.
Speaker 3: And so I think what's happened though, even though we
Speaker 3: have the largest Republican super majority in the history of
Speaker 3: the Florida House, I think we have a far less
Speaker 3: conservative agenda. In fact, I would say it hasn't been
Speaker 3: conservative at all, because I think you have a lot
Speaker 3: of those people who really aren't true believers who are
Speaker 3: in positions of power right now. Think about this. One
Speaker 3: of the things that we've led on better than any
Speaker 3: other state is getting the indoctrination out of our universities,
Speaker 3: eliminating DEI, eliminating the woke, making sure that we put
Speaker 3: people in positions, both professors and university presidents, who are
Speaker 3: going to believe in the classical mission of what a
Speaker 3: university should be and not the nonsense we see at
Speaker 3: Colombia and all the other places. And the Wall Street
Speaker 3: Journal even a month ago was talking about the things
Speaker 3: that President Trump is correctly doing to hold the universities
Speaker 3: accountable nationwide, and they say, you want to know what
Speaker 3: he wants to do, just look at what Florida's done.
Speaker 3: Florida sent the blueprint from that. Every conservative in America
Speaker 3: like hallelujah. Yet in the Florida House, they are trying
Speaker 3: to advance legislation to roll back the conservative reforms that
Speaker 3: we've instituted at universities, and in fact, they want to
Speaker 3: totally cut us out of being involved in helping select
Speaker 3: university presidents. What you would end up having is that
Speaker 3: would be a lifeline to the left and they would
Speaker 3: end up going liberal once again. And then, of course,
Speaker 3: on property tax, you talk to these people. I talked
Speaker 3: to all the folks. They want property tax relief. They're
Speaker 3: proposing a plan that is being rejected in the Florida
Speaker 3: Senate anyways, But it would grant a lot of relief
Speaker 3: to Taurus and non residents and stuffn Why would we
Speaker 3: not want to focus relief on Florida residence. You did
Speaker 3: bring up the immigration, you know, I called the special session.
Speaker 3: I said we need to have all state and locals
Speaker 3: helping President Trump with deportations. They rejected it, fought me
Speaker 3: on it, they got big blowback. Finally we got it done.
Speaker 3: But it's done issue after issue, and so basically I
Speaker 3: think what their agenda is twofold. One, they have a
Speaker 3: whole host of bills they're trying to push through to
Speaker 3: enrich liberal trial lawyers, which will increase your costs, increase
Speaker 3: cost of businesses, and ultimately mean less jobs and not
Speaker 3: good policy. And then two, they just want to oppose me.
Speaker 3: So the reason why they did their tourist tax cut
Speaker 3: is because I was talking about property taxes and they
Speaker 3: don't want to do the things that I'm doing, even
Speaker 3: though all I'm doing is governor.
Speaker 2: Haven't you ever traveled abroad? Did you ever look at
Speaker 2: what they charge you if you rent a hotel room
Speaker 2: in another country?
Speaker 1: In terms of a visitor tax. It's insane.
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, everybody still goes to those places, and everybody's
Speaker 2: still going to come from the Northeast and the Midwest
Speaker 2: down to Florida in the middle of winter so they
Speaker 2: can get some relief.
Speaker 3: Not only that, we've had all these liberal groups try
Speaker 3: to do travel advisories saying don't go to Florida since
Speaker 3: I've been governor. When I became governor, we were typically
Speaker 3: getting about eighty to ninety million visitors a year. We
Speaker 3: just set the record last year one hundred and forty
Speaker 3: two million visitors to Florida. And so that helps the economy,
Speaker 3: and it's also bad for traffic and some other things,
Speaker 3: and we're working through that. But we have this golden
Speaker 3: opportunity to give people property tax relief and then just
Speaker 3: have more of the tax burden going people that aren't
Speaker 3: residents of here. They're Taurus foreigners and all this stuff,
Speaker 3: and they don't want to do that. So this is
Speaker 3: just what it is. But here's what I've learned in
Speaker 3: this In this line of work, if you run for office,
Speaker 3: you tell people what you're going to do, and you
Speaker 3: get in and do it and follow through. Even people
Speaker 3: that disagree with you, they do respect that. What voters
Speaker 3: really get upset about is when you run saying you're
Speaker 3: going to do certain things. And these guys all ran
Speaker 3: saying they were going to support the Florida success story,
Speaker 3: support the Florida model, support conservative policies. But then when
Speaker 3: you get in and you don't follow through, and in
Speaker 3: fact you stab your voters in the back, that is
Speaker 3: when we have some serious, serious problems. And so there
Speaker 3: is something rotten in the state of Denmark when it
Speaker 3: comes to the Florida House of Representatives. This is not
Speaker 3: the type of conservative governance that we saw under the
Speaker 3: three previous legislatures with the three previous speakers since I've
Speaker 3: been governor, and I think this is the least conservative
Speaker 3: agenda that the Florida House has pursued since Republicans took
Speaker 3: the majority way back in nineteen ninety six, and voters
Speaker 3: need to know that that's what's going on. I think
Speaker 3: these guys think that they get in the Tallahassee bubble
Speaker 3: and they can do whatever the hell they want to
Speaker 3: do without any recourse from the voters, and that's just
Speaker 3: not true. I think everybody has a real significant voice.
Speaker 3: Oh one more thing they're doing, Sean, I think you'll
Speaker 3: appreciate this. We all believe in draining the swamp, draining
Speaker 3: the swamp in DC, also draining the swamp in Tallahassee,
Speaker 3: which we have done. Part of the things President Trump's
Speaker 3: trying to do. He's trying to move bureaucrats and agencies
Speaker 3: out of Washington rather than have them all there. We've
Speaker 3: done that in Florida. They're actually pursuing in the Florida
Speaker 3: House a bill that would render our agency heads ineligible
Speaker 3: unless they live in Tallahassee. So our Surgeon General, Joseph
Speaker 3: latipoau great surgeon General, he doesn't live in Tallahassee.
Speaker 2: By the way, he's been a rock star and he's
Speaker 2: not afraid to tell it like it is and we
Speaker 2: can go back to COVID with him.
Speaker 3: So we want people outside of Tallahassee. So they basically
Speaker 3: have this bill, it's basically refill the swamp at why
Speaker 3: would you want to fire Surgeon General Joseph Latipou And
Speaker 3: yet they're doing it, and it's all just to try
Speaker 3: to attack the success that we've done. And that's not
Speaker 3: what they told the voters that they would do. But
Speaker 3: that is how they're choosing to use their power.
Speaker 2: Almost every person that you're talking about, I know who
Speaker 2: these people are, and i know what they're up to,
Speaker 2: and I've been following it closely. But I think it
Speaker 2: is a case study that people have to be forever
Speaker 2: vigil And I told people after the last election, you know,
Speaker 2: don't think you can vote for Donald Trump and walk
Speaker 2: away and think you did your job, because there are
Speaker 2: going to be moments where your voices are going to need.
Speaker 1: To be heard heard.
Speaker 2: But what really makes me mad because I followed these races,
Speaker 2: and again it's a case study. I think for other
Speaker 2: conservative states they've got to be forever vigilant. Is almost
Speaker 2: all of them, without fail, ran as Trump, Maga, the
Speaker 2: Santis Conservatives. They ran on really being transformational and consequential,
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, I'm getting report after
Speaker 2: report after report that they're abandoning the very things that
Speaker 2: brought them to the dance.
Speaker 1: And that really makes me mad.
Speaker 3: Man. It should, and it should make a lot of
Speaker 3: voters mad. I mean, we didn't even have a supermajority
Speaker 3: when I first got elected twenty twenty two. We had
Speaker 3: the big twenty point tsunami and we swept in a
Speaker 3: lot of folks to be able to come in and serve.
Speaker 3: And yet they have this super majority and they're not
Speaker 3: taking on the left. I mean, my view is no
Speaker 3: state has done better at beating the left across all
Speaker 3: these different facets of American life than we have in Florida.
Speaker 3: I want to continue to keep the left at bay.
Speaker 3: I don't want to give them a lifeline. And yet
Speaker 3: the Florida House of Representatives, these Republicans there, they're given
Speaker 3: the left a lifeline. They want to rewokeify the universities.
Speaker 3: They're doing things that is not in keeping with what
Speaker 3: we promised voters we would do, and that is a huge,
Speaker 3: huge mistake that they're doing. So look, you are a
Speaker 3: new convert to Florida, Sean, you know how different it
Speaker 3: can be.
Speaker 2: Well, in fairness to me, I've owned property down here
Speaker 2: for almost twenty eight years, so yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 2: you gave me a hard time about you keep threatening
Speaker 2: when do you move it?
Speaker 1: And I moved.
Speaker 3: But you dealt with New York as a resident for
Speaker 3: how long you've seen?
Speaker 2: Oh it was awful. I was kind of trapped there
Speaker 2: because of my kids. To be very honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but when this goes, it goes, and it's tough.
Speaker 3: And so I think there's just a lot of Floridians
Speaker 3: who who maybe have moved here since I've been governor,
Speaker 3: since COVID, probably millions of them who loves the state,
Speaker 3: love the way it's governed, and they all, I think
Speaker 3: a lot of them take it for granted because this
Speaker 3: is all they know. Well, I think what you're seeing
Speaker 3: in the Florida House is no, this is not something
Speaker 3: that is set in stone. We have a chance to
Speaker 3: solidify and build off the success, which I think what
Speaker 3: our voters want us to do. But you absolutely have
Speaker 3: the possibility of squandering that success and reverting back to
Speaker 3: where we would be a purple state and we want
Speaker 3: election away from having a Democrat come in and really
Speaker 3: ruin things.
Speaker 2: Do you really think, even with the significant advantage that
Speaker 2: Republicans have now gotten in terms of voter roles, that
Speaker 2: there would even be that possibility not?
Speaker 3: I don't think maybe right now, But these things kind
Speaker 3: of move, and I think the danger is is when
Speaker 3: you have folks pursuing a non conservative agenda, when they're
Speaker 3: joining with Democrats to oppose a conservative governor, that causes
Speaker 3: enthusiasm amongst the base to really dwindle. That's just the
Speaker 3: reality of it. And so if that's the kind of
Speaker 3: agenda they're going to pursue, we're going to continue to
Speaker 3: lose enthusiasm. I think the registration would probably start to
Speaker 3: go the other way. It doesn't happen overnight, but what
Speaker 3: happens is, you know, sometimes you have tough political environments.
Speaker 3: If you have lack of enthusiasm and the Dems are
Speaker 3: hopped up and they start pouring a lot of money
Speaker 3: in here, who knows. I don't think that'll happen today.
Speaker 3: But I think we're kind of at a time for
Speaker 3: choosing in Florida. Do we double down on the success
Speaker 3: or do we kiss it away for pursuing this ridiculous
Speaker 3: agenda that nobody voted for.
Speaker 1: That really kind of scares me.
Speaker 2: I think the greatest compliment that maybe you're getting is
Speaker 2: when I watch Vivik Ramaswami. He's running for governor in Ohio.
Speaker 2: Remember Ohio and Florida or swing states, they were the
Speaker 2: two states to watch. Not any longer, so states can
Speaker 2: make swings politically. But he's running on your entire agenda.
Speaker 2: He wants to compete with you. He wants to compete
Speaker 2: with us, and I'm like, well slow down, mister.
Speaker 1: I hope you do well, but not that well.
Speaker 3: Well we've got You could throw a dart at a
Speaker 3: map of the state of Florida definitely hit someone from Ohio.
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes like the New Yorkers go to pouts Florida,
Speaker 3: the mothers oh.
Speaker 1: Southwest Florida is all Midwest.
Speaker 3: You're right everywhere, but Ohio just seems to be everywhere.
Speaker 3: It's really really crazy. Look, my mom's from Ohio and
Speaker 3: my wife's from Ohio, so that you have both of those.
Speaker 3: But I do think if you look just since I've
Speaker 3: been governor, we led on the issues, and then you
Speaker 3: did have a lot of other states that stepped up.
Speaker 3: We tended to be the one to get out in
Speaker 3: front first on a lot of these issues, which is fine,
Speaker 3: and we played a really important role in creating I
Speaker 3: think a great era of conservative governance, particularly in response
Speaker 3: to the Biden administration. And oh, by the way, Shan,
Speaker 3: you and I talked. We rejected a lot of Biden
Speaker 3: administration money, almost a billion dollars. They didn't know how
Speaker 3: to take it back, and so I went up to
Speaker 3: meet with Elon Musk last month. I said, Elon, I've
Speaker 3: got almost a billion. We don't want it. Biden wouldn't
Speaker 3: take it. You want to, Oh, I take it? So
Speaker 3: we sent it and they we returned almost a billion
Speaker 3: dollars to the Doze efforts for federal We're now that's
Speaker 3: got to be.
Speaker 2: A world record. What other state governor has ever done that.
Speaker 2: I've got to run only because of the constraints of time.
Speaker 2: But if this problem continues to evolve and get worse,
Speaker 2: we'll just name names. And too many people have worked
Speaker 2: too hard to make Florida the model state in the
Speaker 2: country of freedom and liberty and where woe goes to
Speaker 2: die to change to change course. So please, governor, keep
Speaker 2: us in the loop, let us know what's going on.
Speaker 2: We really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks buddy, SEEA eight.
Speaker 1: Nine four one Shawn.
Speaker 2: If you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 2: all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: Here's our toll free number this Friday. It's eight hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety four to one, Shawn. If you want to
Speaker 2: join us, listen, uh one way to save money and
Speaker 2: everybody needs to save money. Now we're in the process,
Speaker 2: thank goodness, the House Reconciliation, the Senate. Hopefully they work
Speaker 2: it out and at least we'll get part of the
Speaker 2: Biden Harris economy done with and begin the process of
Speaker 2: healing the country. Obviously getting rid of waste, fraud, abuse, corruption.
Speaker 2: Anybody with an ounce of common sense knows that's good
Speaker 2: for the country. I mean, I can't believe they misuse
Speaker 2: so many of our dollars doze now up to one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty billion dollars in savings, It's insane. The
Speaker 2: President getting energy up and running, the thread of tariffs
Speaker 2: resulted in over seven trillion dollars in committed investment in
Speaker 2: this country and manufacturing and in the auto industry, Apple
Speaker 2: semiconductor chips, and we've listed.
Speaker 1: That day in and day out.
Speaker 2: And one way you can save money and not sacrifice
Speaker 2: service make the switch to my cell phone provider. And
Speaker 2: that's pure talk. And here's the beauty of it. You
Speaker 2: get the same exact service. How's that Because they have
Speaker 2: the same exact cell towers, the same exact five G network,
Speaker 2: and you get the same service. And the average family
Speaker 2: saves over one thousand dollars a year. Now, these big
Speaker 2: carriers AT and T, Verizon, T Mobile, they try to
Speaker 2: suck you in. We're going to give you a free phone. Okay,
Speaker 2: then you got to read the fine print. Do they
Speaker 2: require you to sign up for four lines? Do they
Speaker 2: have a huge activation fee? Are you going to pay
Speaker 2: over one hundred dollars a month for service that you'll
Speaker 2: never ever be able to use in a million years.
Speaker 2: There's a better way, and you can get your free
Speaker 2: phone from my sponsor, our friends at pure Talk, Veteran
Speaker 2: owned company, right now. For example, you get a free
Speaker 2: phone with a qualifying plan. It's only thirty five bucks
Speaker 2: a month. You get a brand new Samsung Galaxy A
Speaker 2: twenty six. All you need to do is make the
Speaker 2: switch to pure Talk thirty five bucks a month. You'll
Speaker 2: get unlimited talk and text, fifteen gigs of data, mobile
Speaker 2: hotspot roaming, and you simply just dial pound two to
Speaker 2: fifty on your cell use the keyword saved now, and
Speaker 2: they'll make the switch in less than ten minutes. It's
Speaker 2: amazing pound two to fifty keywords save now and get
Speaker 2: your free Samsung Galaxy and save over one thousand dollars
Speaker 2: a year for the average fan. Anyway, pure talk, wireless
Speaker 2: by Americans for Americans. All Right, So we're now in
Speaker 2: the midst of and I think you really sum this
Speaker 2: up in a way that this week President Trump changed
Speaker 2: everything as it relates to trade worldwide. The old way
Speaker 2: of doing things is now officially over. In other words,
Speaker 2: ripping off America, abusing America, taking advantage of America.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: And he was able to reverse what is a fifty
Speaker 2: sixty year I don't know, institutionalist, you know mindset that
Speaker 2: somehow we're going to allow even allied countries to take
Speaker 2: advantage of us. And it is now going to result.
Speaker 2: And we have seventy five countries that want trade deals.
Speaker 2: They want them immediately. He's calling out China in the
Speaker 2: biggest way. And China is the worst abuser of them all.
Speaker 2: We've gone through the list over and over again on
Speaker 2: how bad they are and how they mistreated the American people.
Speaker 2: So here's President Trump that we saved us steel. He
Speaker 2: also saved the auto industry, the energy sector. Anyway, here's
Speaker 2: the President talking about, for example, one industry, the steel industry.
Speaker 4: We have steel mills right now that are raging.
Speaker 1: The steel industry has gone.
Speaker 4: If I didn't put the tariffs on steel because China
Speaker 4: was dumping massive amounts of steel in my first term,
Speaker 4: and I put tariffs on I saved the steel industry.
Speaker 4: But now it's going to thrive maybe like never before.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you go back to US Steel from
Speaker 4: ninety years ago, was see credible as the number one
Speaker 4: company in the world for.
Speaker 1: A long time.
Speaker 4: That's why we don't want to see it go to Japan.
Speaker 4: And we love Japan, but we you know, US Steel
Speaker 4: was a very special company. We don't want it to
Speaker 4: go to Japan or any other place. So we're working
Speaker 4: with them, and you know, I don't know if they
Speaker 4: need any money now, I'll be honest with you. There
Speaker 4: they hit gold. They hit gold because if you look
Speaker 4: at it, they have such orders for steel.
Speaker 2: Now it's in joining us to discuss this is Selena Gazito,
Speaker 2: who's the national political reporter for the Washington Examiner, and
Speaker 2: she has been spending a great deal of time going
Speaker 2: out among the great people in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: When you think of Pennsylvania, you think of the steel industry.
Speaker 2: When you think of Pennsylvania, you think of fracking. When
Speaker 2: you think of Pennsylvania, you think of the hard working
Speaker 2: men and women that make this country great. They get
Speaker 2: up every day, work hard, play by the rules, pay
Speaker 2: their taxes, put in their twelve fourteen, sixteen hours, they
Speaker 2: take care of their kids, They go to church on Sunday,
Speaker 2: and they grind it out and they make the country
Speaker 2: great and they provide the things that we need. Now
Speaker 2: their lives are about to get that much easier, especially
Speaker 2: if you're in the steel industry, or if you're in
Speaker 2: if you're in the energy sector. And Selena, to her credit,
Speaker 2: I can't even tell you how many thousands of mileles
Speaker 2: she's put on her car, has been going all around
Speaker 2: the state, more specifically recently visiting a a steel plant.
Speaker 2: She sent me pictures of it and then she put
Speaker 2: them online on x It's pretty amazing what's happening. But
Speaker 2: she's been talking to all of the American workers who
Speaker 2: now have a president that is championing them, which goes
Speaker 2: to my other point, which is the Republican Party is
Speaker 2: now the party of working men and women in America.
Speaker 2: These are the presidents standing up for high paying career
Speaker 2: jobs for Americans. If you talk about Wall Street versus
Speaker 2: Main Street, he's sticking with Main Street. If you talk
Speaker 2: about the Democratic Party, you know they're standing up and
Speaker 2: championing the right of men to play women's sports, the
Speaker 2: right of illegal immigrants over the safety of Americans. You know,
Speaker 2: they screen bloody murder. It's a constitutional crisis if you
Speaker 2: cut out waste, fraud, and abuse. I mean, there has
Speaker 2: never been a greater distinction between the two visions, competing
Speaker 2: visions for the country anyway. Selena's siding with working men
Speaker 2: and women, the great people of Pennsylvania who happened a
Speaker 2: lot a lot, and respect a lot anybody that works
Speaker 2: for a living. I respect they make this country great. Delena,
Speaker 2: great work. How are you o?
Speaker 5: Great? Thank you, thank you so much for having me on,
Speaker 5: and thank you for for s showcasing this. You know, Sean,
Speaker 5: as you were talking you you I just had a
Speaker 5: flashpoint of something I remembered about President Trump. It was
Speaker 5: the day. It was the day after he was shot
Speaker 5: in Butler.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you were you were in the
Speaker 2: front row that day. For maybe people that didn't remember
Speaker 2: when you came on the show.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was in the buffer. I was even closer.
Speaker 5: I was only four feet away.
Speaker 1: Crazy, but.
Speaker 5: He said something to me. He said a lot of
Speaker 5: things to me and then the next day, but one
Speaker 5: of the things he said to me really makes remind
Speaker 5: me of why he does what he does. And he said,
Speaker 5: you know, Selena, did you see nobody ran out of
Speaker 5: there meeting the rally? Nobody was There was no panic.
Speaker 5: These these people were poised and they and they handled
Speaker 5: it in a right, in a way that was very dignified.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: It could have gone many other ways. There could have
Speaker 5: been a stampede they're good at. There could have been chaos.
Speaker 5: And he said, those are my people. Those are working class,
Speaker 5: the people that work with their hands. Those are my people.
Speaker 5: And I will never forget how they behaved that day,
Speaker 5: meaning yesterday, meaning that day.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you know how I know this
Speaker 2: is true. It was either an hour or ninety minutes
Speaker 2: after the incident. I was able to get him on
Speaker 2: the phone. I've been tipped off by somebody that was there.
Speaker 2: You know, I was, you know, furiously typing everybody that
Speaker 2: I knew that was around him.
Speaker 1: Is the okay?
Speaker 3: I is he?
Speaker 1: Okay? It is he?
Speaker 2: Okay. When I got him on the phone, he said,
Speaker 2: did you notice nobody ever left? They all stayed. That
Speaker 2: was the first thing he said to me, he was
Speaker 2: he's very to say that he.
Speaker 5: Was very Yes, he is very consistent. And in my
Speaker 5: upcoming book, you guys will hear all kinds of incredible conversations,
Speaker 5: but that one, when you're talking about the working class,
Speaker 5: it just reminded me how connected and how much he
Speaker 5: feels he owes the working class. Right. So I was
Speaker 5: in the Urban Work Steel Mill. It is the oldest
Speaker 5: rolling steel mill in the country. It is eighty six
Speaker 5: years old. And I have to tell you, Sean and
Speaker 5: your listeners, it was an honor to be standing there
Speaker 5: with these men and women. Right, Everything in that room
Speaker 5: screamed work. The heat, the smell, the sounds, watching people
Speaker 5: doing their jobs just just screamed work. This is a
Speaker 5: place where something big, bigger than self happens. And that's
Speaker 5: how these people feel about their jobs. This isn't a career.
Speaker 5: This is their artisans This is a calling. They make
Speaker 5: things that make Americans lives better, whether it's their appliances
Speaker 5: and their cars, or the roads that they drive over,
Speaker 5: their buildings that they go into, whether they're shopping or
Speaker 5: they're working.
Speaker 2: Right, But I want to expand this out because you
Speaker 2: also went down deep into the ground in a coal
Speaker 2: mine recently to be with those workers, and then you
Speaker 2: were with steel workers, and then you were with people
Speaker 2: in the energy sector and the fracking business.
Speaker 1: You've been all over the state I have.
Speaker 5: I've actually been in a total of sixteen coal mines,
Speaker 5: and again, the very same sentiment, Right, you're powering the country.
Speaker 5: It's the same with the energy. You're powering the country.
Speaker 5: You're making sure the grid is going. And so these
Speaker 5: are the voters, and these are the people that are
Speaker 5: very supportive of tariffs. It is terras have eviscerated a
Speaker 5: manufacturer sector in the industrial Midwest, in Appalachia, but also
Speaker 5: North Carolina, South Carolina, the textiles. I mean, it has
Speaker 5: had an undue burden on the working class. So while
Speaker 5: you may step on social media and watch the sort
Speaker 5: of what I call the very online Democrat and Republican
Speaker 5: who are moaning about their four oh one case, it's
Speaker 5: not as if these guys don't have four oh one
Speaker 5: k's EQO. They do, but they look at it very differently.
Speaker 5: They say, look what we're doing, bringing back manufacturing to
Speaker 5: this country and strengthening it and making things in this
Speaker 5: country is what is best for the next generations. It's
Speaker 5: better for my children, my grandchildren and the generations to come,
Speaker 5: but also my community, and so they have a different worldview.
Speaker 5: They're very willing and this is to a person, very
Speaker 5: very willing to take a hit for it because in
Speaker 5: the long run it is better for the country in
Speaker 5: terms of the four toh one case and the other
Speaker 5: thing I want to really point out because people are
Speaker 5: missing this. The next big race, the next big arms
Speaker 5: race in our country is the race for AI dominance.
Speaker 5: And where are they going to put these AI data centers?
Speaker 5: And they are energy hungry. Who's going to feed that energy? Well,
Speaker 5: they're putting them back in places like Homer City, Indiana,
Speaker 5: where you They just announced last week that they are
Speaker 5: building a natural gas energy complex that is going to
Speaker 5: employ ten thousand people with very good pain jobs, and
Speaker 5: they're putting a ten billion dollar investment.
Speaker 2: I click break more with Selena Ziitos, who's been traveling
Speaker 2: all over the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania looking at how workers
Speaker 2: in the steel industry, the energy industry, manufacturing facilities, how
Speaker 2: they're reacting to the President Trump and his new trade policies,
Speaker 2: A free and fair trade over ciprocal tariffs your choice. Hey,

Speaker 6: Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Speaker 1: I would continue. Selena Cito is with us.
Speaker 2: She's been all over the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, going from
Speaker 2: industry to industry, hard working men and women in the
Speaker 2: steel industry, the energy sector, manufacturing facilities, and she's getting
Speaker 2: their reaction to President Trump standing up for American workers.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a political question because I look
Speaker 2: at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the salt and look
Speaker 2: at Michigan another example, right, similar bit different, right, different industries,
Speaker 2: but you're talking about blue collar, hard working men and
Speaker 2: women and that have seen their jobs deteriorate and go
Speaker 2: overseas left and right. It was fascinating to see Gretchen
Speaker 2: Whitmer in the Oval office and she's getting hammered because
Speaker 2: she was praised by President Trump. But the question is
Speaker 2: what impact do you think all of this good work
Speaker 2: for working men and women? Well, what impact do you
Speaker 2: think it's going to have on future elections?
Speaker 5: Well, party that is the political party that has the
Speaker 5: support of the working classes, the party that wins, it's that.
Speaker 5: It's that.
Speaker 2: I mean, so it's not going to be the party
Speaker 2: that's championing the right of men to play women's sports
Speaker 2: and the rights of the illegals over the safety of Americans,
Speaker 2: and the party you know that constantly votes against American voters,
Speaker 2: I mean that doesn't even want voter id.
Speaker 5: Look, I talk to a variety of voters in men
Speaker 5: and women in that Steel Plan. They were black, they
Speaker 5: were Hispanic, they were white, They were young, they were
Speaker 5: not so young. They had been Democrats, they had had
Speaker 5: been non political. This has been a game changer and
Speaker 5: has gotten them involved in politics and has had them
Speaker 5: vote Republican, not just at the top of the ticket,
Speaker 5: but all the way to the bottom of the ticket.
Speaker 5: You know, the Republicans did not just win the presidency
Speaker 5: in Pennsylvania. They I also won the US Senate seat
Speaker 5: nobody thought would Bob Casey would lose to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dave McCormick, you're right, they also want and the
Speaker 2: case name was huge.
Speaker 5: Yeah. They also won two new new US House seats,
Speaker 5: and they won all three of the statewide elected row
Speaker 5: offices that the state has changed. And we've also dramatically
Speaker 5: changed our party registration in our.
Speaker 2: State, Oh dramatically, And we knew that going and I
Speaker 2: talked to you many times about it. I got to
Speaker 2: give you a lot of credits, Selena. I mean, you
Speaker 2: go down, you get, you know, an old shoe leather
Speaker 2: style reporting, which makes you the great success that you are.
Speaker 2: And we really appreciate you being with us. And thanks
Speaker 2: for that update. I think this is only the beginning.
Speaker 2: The Americans will realize that the Democratic Party is now
Speaker 2: the party of bizarre, weird socialist radicals, elites and Republicans
Speaker 2: now standing up for the eight men and women are
Speaker 2: the hard working men and women in the country. Selena Zidol,
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Thank you,
