Governor Ronda Santis is back with us. 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: He's been a friend of the program for many years. Sir, 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: how are you good, Sean? I just want to let 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: you know. You know, our voter registration window is opened 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: until early October, so you still have a time to 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: register in Florida and vote for me on November Ay, 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: So get it done, man. I'm selling all the New 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: York property I possibly can and buying as much Florida 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: properties I possibly can't. As I've told you privately. You 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: know it's interesting. So we're in the middle of this 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: election cycle, and I know you're not taking your race 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: for granted, but I feel very confident for you. And 17 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: I know that there are polls showing that the race 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: with Senator Rubio might be a little closer. I'm not 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: sure I buy those polls, but we need Senator Rubio 20 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: back in the US Senate. He's done a great job, 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: I think for the country, and I think you'll agree 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean, first, I would 23 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: just let your listeners know people want to get involved 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: keep up with what we're doing. They can text the 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: word freedom to the number five one two three four 26 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: five and that's freedom to five one two three four five, 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: and we will send updates and provide them ways where 28 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: they can help. Even if they're not in the state, 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: they can help. Here's what I think we're looking to 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: do on November A Sean. I think we're looking to 31 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: set a turnout record in the state of Florida for 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: a midterm election. And part of the reason we're able 33 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: to do that is because over the last three and 34 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: a half years, we've delivered for people in Florida time 35 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: and time again, and not just fulfilling the promises I 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: made when I ran in eighteen, which many people who 37 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: get elected don't do. We did that and we over 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: delivered on those. But then when COVID hit, we stood 39 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: virtually alone in some respects to stand for open businesses, 40 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: people working, kids in school, and all that. So I 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: think that formula people are really appreciative because they feel 42 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: proud of being in Florida and they say thank God, 43 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: We're not like California or New York. So I think 44 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: we're going to have a really big turnout. And I 45 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: think Senator Rubio being from Miami Dade, that's kind of 46 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: now the tip of the sphere for Republican politics. I mean, 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: you know you and I remember previous elections, Republicans used 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: to get walloped in Miami Dade. Donald Trump only lost 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: it by single digits in twenty twenty. Since then, we've 50 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: seen an even bigger sea change in Republican registrations down there. 51 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: A lot of the people who are moving there are 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: registered Republicans, and we've seen a huge shift right amongst 53 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: the Latino population towards Republicans. And so Miami Dade is 54 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: really ground zero. And it used to be you just 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: try not to get lose Miami Dade by thirty in 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: order to win stay wide. Well, now Miami that's folks 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: who are really holding the line for freedom in this country. 58 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: So it's exciting to see a lot of the positive 59 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: changes that have happened in Florida over the last four years. 60 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: I talk a lot about the state of the economy. 61 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: Forty year high, record high inflation, record high gas prices, 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: more than twice of what we were paying just about 63 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: two years ago. And the looming recession in the housing market, 64 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: new home construction is stopping in many states. Sale of 65 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: pre existing homes has come to a screeching halt. I 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: believe home values will plummet in most parts of the country. 67 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: And I make an exception, and one of the biggest 68 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: exceptions I'm making is for your state of Florida, because 69 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: the migration to Florida I'm reading you're taking in nearly 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: a thousand new people a day. Is that close to 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: the right number? Yeah, I think so. I mean, you know, 72 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to get an exact candle on this, 73 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: but since COVID, we've led the country in net in migration. 74 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: We had more adjusted growth income move into Florida in 75 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty than has ever moved into a single state 76 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: in the history of the United States. I think we 77 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: beat in twenty twenty one. We don't have all that 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: data quite yet. The next closest state to US is Texas, 79 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, which is not too shabby. They had about 80 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: six point three billions, so almost four times what was 81 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: moving into Florida compared to Texas. And people have never 82 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: really seen anything like it. The question though, people will 83 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: ask and Sean, you know, you know when the New 84 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Yorkers come down, people wonder, hey, how are they going 85 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: to vote? I can tell you when we started seeing 86 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: California license plates in Florida. I was born and raised here. 87 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: I never saw California licensed plates. All of a sudden, 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: you see these Californians and Floridians were like freaking out. 89 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: They're asking me, are these people going Most of these 90 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: people are Republicans, Sean. When I got elected governor, they 91 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: were close to three hundred thousand more registered Democrats in 92 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: the state of Florida than Republicans. And we had never 93 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: had more registered Republicans in the history of Florida than 94 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: Democrats prior to me becoming governor. Today we have two 95 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven thousand more registered Republicans than Democrats. 96 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: So that's a five hundred thousand plus registration shift towards Republicans. 97 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: So with that telling me is the New Yorkers that 98 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: are being driven off are the Conservatives. The Republicans in 99 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: California are being driven off by those bad policies, and 100 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: so they're coming to Florida. So this electorate that's going 101 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: to perform in Novella November eighth. No one really knows. 102 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's going to be good for us, 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: but no one really knows, because this is a really 104 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: different electorate than even what we had in November of 105 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, much less November of twenty eighteen. I think 106 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: that's a really critical point that you're bringing up. I 107 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: tell people all the time, if you're going to leave 108 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: a state like New York or New Jersey or Illinois 109 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: or California, that's fine, but don't bring the policies that 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: pushed you out of that state with you. And then 111 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: in the next state that you go to. That in Florida, 112 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: people are very sensitive about that. There will be people 113 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: and they just do this on their own. You go 114 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: to like our public supermarket, which is our tough supermarket chain, 115 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: they'll look in the parking lot for New York license 116 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: plates and they'll put flyers in the windshield saying, hey, 117 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: don't vote like you did there. Here. We don't want 118 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: to turn in like they're doing there. But you know 119 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: I do. Don't ruin our state like you ruined your 120 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: previous states. We don't need it. I think people get 121 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: it because I think the contrast has been so sharp. 122 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you see it firsthand with the draconian lockdowns 123 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: that these Blue states were doing, locking kids out of school, 124 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: and then how they've embraced soft on crime policies that 125 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: causes cities and communities to be hollowed out when you 126 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: don't have safe streets, and they've gone in a really 127 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: bad direction. And you know, you've lived in New York 128 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: a long time. It was safe under Rudy Juliani, I 129 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: mean not just the reality, and now it's not. And 130 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: we're seeing that all across the country. So I do 131 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: think people when you start talking about denying their kids 132 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: in education, denying businesses right to operate, denying their ability 133 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: to have safe communities, they do get it and they 134 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: don't want to mess with it. So in Florida, we 135 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: obviously are strong on all those things, and consequently the 136 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: quality of life is so much better. I think a 137 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: large your popularity comes from the boldness that you've shown, 138 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: a leadership that you've shown. Especially look at an issue 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: like COVID. Schools in Florida were open in August of 140 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Now, that was way ahead of the curve 141 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: of everybody else, and rather than look at the success 142 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: of Florida schools, many other states remained in shutdown mode 143 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: for a year or longer and they wouldn't even look 144 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: at the science or the data that you were able 145 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: to accumulate in that time period. And I think the 146 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: people of Florida will clearly be rewarding it for that 147 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: come election day. Well, at the end of the day, Sean, 148 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: there was a lot of hysteria, particularly those early months 149 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: of COVID. What I did was look at the data, 150 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: and we had data from Sweden, other parts of the world, 151 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: and it was clear that we needed to have kids 152 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: in school. It was not a very difficult decision from 153 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: a data or science perspective, but it was like hugely 154 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: controversial because the whole corporate media was against me, the 155 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: left was against me. Fauci was against me, and so 156 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm standing out there saying, you know what, this is important, 157 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: and I really believe that once we had all the 158 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: schools open, that people would see that it's the right 159 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: thing to do, and that every other state would follow. 160 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I was honestly shocked that they stuck to 161 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: their lockdown ism and lock these poor kids out of school. 162 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: But obviously, you know, in hindsight, they were basically doing 163 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: what the teachers unions wanted. They were not following with 164 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: the best interests of the students or the parents. But 165 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: what I told myself through all this with COVID keeping 166 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: business open all that is, you know, I don't know 167 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: if it's going to work out for me politically or not. 168 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: But the leader's job is to look out for the 169 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: folks you represent, and I was totally willing to take 170 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the arrows. I didn't know how it was going to 171 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: work out, but as long as I was standing up 172 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: for them, then I was doing my job. And I 173 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: could look in the mirror and say, you know what, 174 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, you're actually leading and these guys are coming 175 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: at you. But that's fine. And you know what, one 176 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: ended up happening as we were right on a lot 177 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: of these core issues, and people are now very appreciative 178 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: that we were. So. The state of Florida has no 179 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: income tax. The state of New York has a ten 180 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: percent state income tax. If you live in New York City, 181 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: it's three and a half percent more. Yeah, add the 182 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: forty percent federal income tax. That's fifty three cents of 183 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: every dollar just going to income taxes. That doesn't include 184 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: sales taxes, record high property taxes, etc. So Florida has 185 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: now surpassed New York in terms of population almost three million, 186 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: a little shy of three million, and you have half 187 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: the budget of the state of New York. And as 188 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: somebody that is in Florida as much as I possibly can, 189 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: I can tell you the infrastructure is so far superior 190 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: to that of New York. And it's amazing you do 191 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: it with half the budget. Explain to people how you're 192 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: able to accomplish that. Well, we're focusing on things that 193 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: mat matter for people's lives and matter for having a 194 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: good community. We're not giving a lot of money or 195 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: any money to these special interests. I think young New York. 196 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: You go around the city, pay all these tolls, Where 197 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: does that money go? I mean the it's all still dilapidated. 198 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: And so we take pride in infrastructure. We take pride 199 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: in services. It's a lot easier to get a driver's 200 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: license in like Palm Beach County than it would be 201 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: in these blue states, and we're proud of that. We 202 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: also have done a good job with education. Part of 203 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: the reason we're number three in the country for K 204 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: twelve achievement in the most recent Education Week rankings. We 205 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: were number one in the NAPE for fourth grade reading 206 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: and math from the last NAP before this year on 207 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: a demographically adjusted basis. Is because we've embraced parental choice, 208 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: we've supported charter schools, we've supported opportunities within the school 209 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: district for parents to be able to make good choices, 210 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: and we've set high standards so our schools outperform K 211 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: twelve New York. And when I was growing up Sean 212 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: that was not the case at all. But I think 213 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: what's happened is those blue states, they're basically being run 214 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: by teachers unions and it's more about politics than it 215 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: is about respecting parents' rights and achieving student success. Let 216 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: me ask you about these upcoming midterms in sixty two days, 217 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: because to me, this is an inflection point or a 218 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: tipping point election. And I know I've said that many 219 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: times over the years, over many elections, but I really 220 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: believe it. I'm worried, really worried about the people in 221 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: this country, the economic conditions that people are suffering under. 222 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: It's a disaster for many families. Two thirds of Americans 223 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: now living paycheck to paycheck forty plus year high, record 224 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: high and inflation, record high, gas prices, open borders like 225 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: we've never seen, abandoning energy independence, the disaster that is far. 226 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: Foreign policy, foreign policy from Afghanistan and Ukraine. Record homicides, 227 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: no bail laws, defund mantle the police. You're offering incentives 228 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: for police to move to Florida. My question is, and 229 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: I know you're one of the most sought after endorsements 230 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: in this upcoming election, and I know you've been traveling 231 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: the country for many really good candidates that we have. 232 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: What is the message you would advise them to bring 233 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: to their constituents so that this can be the way 234 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: of election that some people are predicting. I'm not going 235 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: down that road. I'm too irish. I always think the 236 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: worst is going to happen. But Sean, I mean you 237 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: and I have seen the destruction that's happened in not 238 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: even two years. And this is what they've been able 239 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: to do with just a fifty fifty Senate in a 240 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: four or five seat majority. And now just imagine if 241 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: they had fifty five senators and a thirty seat majority 242 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: in the House, what more damage they would have been 243 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: able to do. And so I think the candidates need 244 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: to be prosecuting the case against Biden because at the 245 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: end of the day, these are all problems that have 246 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: either been created or exacerbated or exacerbated by Biden and 247 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: his minions, and they're the ones that are responsible for this. 248 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: Our border on January nineteenth, twenty twenty one was not open. 249 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: He opened it when he came in. We were energy 250 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: and dependent. On January nineteen, twenty twenty one, he kneecapped 251 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: American energy production and we're in for I think more 252 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: of a roller coaster on that as we near year's end. 253 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: And so his policies drove up inflation by printing trillions 254 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: and trillions or dollars. They are making our streets less 255 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: safe with their soft on crime policies. So prosecute the 256 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: case and then stand for the things that we know 257 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: we need to do to get the country turned around. 258 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: And there's clearly a majority of the public that will 259 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: be with us on all those core issues. They do 260 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: not want an open border, they do not want to 261 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: see criminals running the street and having their way, They 262 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: do not want to see runaway inflation, and they want 263 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,239 Speaker 1: to see US energy independent. Those are all no brainers, 264 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: and those are things that I think our candidates have 265 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: been talking about. I think some of them don't get 266 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: enough credit. You know, people will take these poles, Shan, 267 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: And you know you've been following this, how many of 268 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: these polls from like the summer of the election year 269 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: turn out to be totally garbage. They always say we're 270 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: going to lose all these races. I think we have 271 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: a chance to win all the key races across the board. 272 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: I think we've got good candidates. I don't buy this 273 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: that we don't have good candidates. So and I just 274 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: tell your listeners, support these folks and let's make a 275 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: difference to try to turn the country because the margin 276 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: of air now is so small. This is not like 277 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy. This is a 278 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: Democratic Party that is basically awoke entity, and they're in 279 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: trying to impose that ideology on us. And I hadn't 280 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: even said it the other day. They view people that 281 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: think like us as a threat to the republic and 282 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: is basically an enemy of the state, and they're willing 283 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: to weaponize government to go after us. So you gotta 284 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: get up and you got to let your voice be heard. 285 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: So was a Trafalgar pole out today? Fifty six percent 286 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: of Americans think that Joe Biden went really over the 287 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: edge and way too far the other day. What was 288 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: your reaction to that speech in Philly. I think this 289 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: is an angry, desperate, failing president, and I think he's 290 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: trying to do whatever he can to rev up his base, 291 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: and I think he thinks demonizing people like us is 292 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: the way that he gets his base to come out 293 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: and vote. I've never seen an American president be so 294 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: divisive as Joe Biden. This is a guy that ran 295 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: on saying he was going to unite the country and 296 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: now you're saying that folks that disagree with your agenda 297 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: are a threat to democracy. And Boe by the way, Sean, 298 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: this is a majority of a country that disagrees with him. 299 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: It didn't like it's just like ten percent over here. 300 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: He wants to try to backtrack and say that, but 301 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: he's really talking about everybody that's rejected him. And then 302 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: I think you look at the way they've used the government, 303 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: in the bureaucracy and the administrative state to target people 304 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: that they don't like. These irs agents the eighty seven thousand. 305 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: Do you think those are going to go after Hollywood 306 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: liberals with those IRS agents. No, they're going to go 307 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: after sole proprietors, Mom and pops. They're going to go 308 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: after handymen, uber drivers, They're gonna go after They're gonna 309 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: go after Everyone's gonna get the Hannity treatment in other words. 310 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: In other words, they just pick my file out every year. 311 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: That's why I have two accounting firms and one legal 312 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: team going over my taxes. And I pay every dime, 313 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: including in your grade state as well, which is much 314 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: lower than New York. It seems to me that we 315 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: have an opportunity now to show something that I always 316 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: talk about, which is that conservatism works. Liberty, freedom, capitalism 317 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: or constitution, limited government, lower taxes. We believe in law 318 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: and order, safety and security. We believe in choice in schools. 319 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: We want laws at our borders. We want to control 320 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: our nation's borders. Energy. I think beyond energy independence, we 321 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: should be energy dominant because our Western European allies certainly 322 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: need our help piece through strength. You know, simple issues, 323 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: free and fair trade. These are not complicated issues, governor 324 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: that we're talking about here, but they are principles. I 325 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: don't say them because I'm a conservative. I say it 326 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: because when implemented these policies work. You've implemented them in 327 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: the state of Florida, Sean. It's basically, I mean, what 328 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: all you just said boils down to I think two things, 329 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: one common sense and two policies that reflect traditional American principles. 330 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the principles that our country was found were 331 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: founded on, are correct, they're enduring, they apply differently when 332 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: as times change and circumstances change, and you need to 333 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: obviously have an agenda that's meeting those needs. But the 334 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: other side has really given us a gift because they're 335 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: so outside of what makes sense. Their policies are failing 336 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: in real time. That's why I think the governor's races 337 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: are going to be so important, because those are the 338 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: laboratories of democracy. You can look at Florida, you can 339 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: look at Tennessee, George to Texas, and you can compare 340 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: it to some of these blue states that have done far, 341 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: far worse. That's just the reality. So we can pick 342 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: up governorships and a lot of these states and they're 343 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: going to be able to help turn those states around. 344 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: At the state level, huge opportunity for US. I know 345 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk on the House and Senate 346 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: and it's important and they need to hold Biden accountable 347 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: and they need to check him from doing any more damage. 348 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: But if we pick up five or six governorships across 349 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: the country and flip those from D to R, that's 350 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: going to have a major impact. It's interesting because I've 351 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: been focused way more on the House and the Senate, 352 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: and I know Kevin McCarthy is going to come out 353 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: next week with his commitments to America and I'm looking 354 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: forward to reading it. I've seen drafts of it and 355 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: it seems very comprehensive to me. You have been traveling 356 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: the country on behalf of Republican gubernatorial candidates, more than 357 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 1: the senatorial candidates. I know you only have so much time, 358 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: but I think for the very reasons you're stating, Yeah, well, 359 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: I've done. I mean I've done. Adam Laxalt, I've known 360 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: since we are in the Navy together out in Nevada 361 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: he's going to be the US senator there. I did 362 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: something for both Kerry Lake and Arizona running for governors. 363 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: I think she's going to win. She's a great candidate. 364 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: Blake Masters. I think he's going to win. People are saying, 365 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: you know that he's not doing good. I think he's 366 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: got a great message and people need to support him. 367 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: We have Mark Ronchetty in New Mexico. You know, New 368 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: Mexico's Democrat governor was a lockdown zealot and she destroyed 369 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: that state. And he's going to take that governorship. And 370 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: then we also helped JD. Vance and the Senate in Ohio, 371 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: and then Doug Mastriano and the Senate and or in 372 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: the governor for Pennsylvania. He's strong, He's a thirty year 373 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: Army veteran, and he absolutely can win. I'm also gonna 374 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: I am going to help doctor Oz at some point. 375 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to help Lee Zelden at some point, and 376 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: maybe a couple others. You know, I obviously ID is 377 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: within the margin of error. I don't know if you've 378 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: been following the polls now have him with him four 379 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: points strong candidate. If you just had a group of 380 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: one hundred just normal folks, he would beat her every 381 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: single day. You know. The issue that you guys have 382 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: in New York is a lot of the Republicans have 383 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: left no I'll say it for you. Somebody was born 384 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 1: and raised in New York and left New York for 385 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: sixteen years and wish I was out of New York. Now. No, 386 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: this is not your normal voting constituency. It is far 387 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: hardcore left wing Governor. We could talk all day. It's 388 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: always great to have you on the program. Every time 389 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: I get a call to this show from Florida, I 390 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: always say so and so from the free State of Florida. 391 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: And I hope the country follows the successful example that 392 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: you're setting there, because it's it is really paying off 393 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: huge dividends for the people that live in your state.

You want to do this after the election. 407 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: I'm asking you if you have the ability as a 408 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: talk show hosts. I am.

I agree you are committed 412 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: to I've been. I've been training for ten years. And 413 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: when I started. You know, my doctor was the one 414 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: that recommended it because he happens to be the only 415 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: black belt in the entire dog He's scary. He's scary. 416 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: He's scary. No, he's a killer, and our sense is 417 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: a real killer, agreed and actually frightening human beings. After 418 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: the first you know, five or six or seven or 419 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: eight times, he's gonna quit, right, He's gonna quit. He's 420 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: not gonna keep going, right. And now I train more 421 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: than anyone else in the dojo. I do it four 422 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: or five days a week. Nobody else in the dojo 423 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: trains that hard. Is that because it's the closest to 424 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: your house for your convenience. I'm just asking that has 425 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of a factor to planet. I'm just asking. 426 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: But I but I I dedicate the time I get 427 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: my ass out of bed. I don't feel like getting 428 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: my ass out of bed and I go train. I mean, 429 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: I don't love it. But if I can't imagine if 430 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: ten years ago, if I didn't start this, what it 431 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: would mean for my life in terms of my health. Now, 432 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: working out is everything. It's so important, oh so important, 433 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: and nobody loves I mean, there are plenty of days 434 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: I don't love it. Today kick the living crap out 435 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: of me. You know, it's funny about it comes in 436 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: when a bad mood. God to help you if you 437 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: hate it going in, but you love it going out. 438 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: I was soaking wet coming out, but like it's like 439 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: it's invigorating. You're like, yes, I did that. I accomplished that, 440 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: Like I knew I can finally kick again, which I 441 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 1: had not been able to do for a period of 442 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: time because of a pretty severe injury I had. But 443 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: I refused to get surgery on Oh I didn't want 444 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: to get surgery. And you know what, it's ninety percent 445 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: better without it. I listen when you can. It's always 446 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: better not to get surgery, in my humble opinion, when 447 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: you can. I I had, I had a choice, I 448 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: was given the opportunity together. I wanted to. I know 449 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: it was bad, man, that was a gnarly injury. Yeah, 450 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: that was pretty nuts. That was nuts, for sure. But um, 451 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, and I had a couple of them this year, 452 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: not one too. You feel like you had the first one? 453 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: Are we are we speaking high level? We're not getting 454 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: into the weeds. Is that what we're doing? We're okay. 455 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: The first one though, I feel like you had what too. 456 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: I think you had that two years, had it for 457 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: a number of years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my thought. 458 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: But that was almost directly related to golf. Yes, and 459 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: you know that was more of a hip thing. I 460 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: don't mind. I mean, you were never going to be 461 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, but now it's I rehabbed it and rehabbed it. 462 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: It was painful as hell, and you know now I'm 463 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: back kicking as hard as I've ever kicked. I'm actually 464 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: really happy for you that you got that back, because 465 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: I think if you didn't have MMA, I would be afraid. 466 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: I'd be afraid. For now, we added weights to it, 467 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: and I'm I've I'm shocking myself. I finally got one 468 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: hundred pound dumbbells, which I only got them up twice, 469 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: but I got them up. Um, I think it's impressive. 470 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: Did you take a picture? No, I have some videos 471 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: of it. That's the cool stuff. Those videos are fun. Yeah, 472 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: I can definitely do it, but we actually once I 473 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: got there, I hit my goal. I'm like, okay, this 474 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: it's it's instilling too much pain in my shoulders. And 475 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: then I can't live for a number of days after. 476 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: So I'd rather do eighty pounds fifteen times than do 477 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: a pounds, you know, definitely smart two times or ninety 478 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, five times, so six times whatever it is. 479 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: And then and then when we curl, I've got this machine. 480 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: I forget what we call the stupid machine anyway, and 481 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: I can do the rack on that and we do 482 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: we do all. We've added that to it. So I've 483 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: gotten stronger, heavier, because muscle is heavier than fat. But 484 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, for an old guy, it's not too bad. 485 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: And then we still do our core or sit ups 486 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: or push ups. Do you do v ups? You don't 487 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: do that? I do the verse a machine which is 488 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: pretty intense.

I mean it's actually 498 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: very impressive. I really like yoga. I think yoga is 499 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: key for strength training. I've been doing a lot a 500 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: lot of yoga because I do peloton every day and 501 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: I do about ten miles every morning. And I will 502 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: say that my my hips, my legs, you know, my 503 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: tvns like they were all really they were screaming.

I 508 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: don't know when the All right, let's get to Rebecca's 509 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: in North Carolina. Hey, Rebecca, how are you glad you called? Hi? Sean, 510 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. What an honor to speak to you. 511 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: The honor is mine. Can you hear me? Yes, ma'am, 512 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: thank you, sir. He touched on it briefly on a 513 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: different couple different times. But I wanted to bring attention 514 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: to something that I'm not hearing too many, too many 515 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: people talk about, and that is how the politics of 516 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: what's going on right now is really detrimental to the 517 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: mental health of our children. I have a twenty two 518 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: year old daughter, and she came to me a couple 519 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: of weeks ago and she said, Mom, I you know, 520 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: she's trying to be independent. She's got her first job. 521 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: She's just finished her associate's degree online because the schools 522 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: were shut down during the pandemic, but she was able 523 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,719 Speaker 1: to finish, and she's not able to afford anything to 524 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: get out and be independent on her own. But she said, Mom, 525 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: the future that I'm looking at looks so dim, and 526 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: it just looks like everything is being shredded for my future, 527 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: and I just don't see any hope. And she said, 528 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: I've I've honestly been considering suicide lately. Oh, man, that's 529 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: a tough one. All right. Listen, I'm not a doctor, 530 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm just gonna give you what my advice 531 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: to any friend of mine that would have said the 532 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: same thing to me. First thing, you got to take 533 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: it seriously, and I'm sure you are. Second thing is 534 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: you've got to get her professional help. We got to 535 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this and so and do 536 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: it in a loving way. It's not a punishment, it's 537 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: a It's okay, she's obviously reaching out for help. I 538 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: don't know what your financial situation is. Maybe if you're 539 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: capable in some way to help her a little bit, 540 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: I would definitely consider that. And there always is hope. 541 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for me, in the darkest days 542 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: of my life, if it wasn't for my belief in God, 543 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do. I don't know. 544 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how people survive without some faith. Does 545 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: she have any inclination at all towards God faith? Religion? 546 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't care what religion it is. Oh no, we 547 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: are faithful attenders to our church every Sunday. She is 548 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: a born again believer, and we've been clinging to the 549 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: verse that says in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven that 550 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: I know the plants I have for you to give 551 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: you hope in a future. But even in a dark 552 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: time like that, she still feels like everything that's going 553 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 1: on in our world and society is so dark, and 554 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: the policies that are being made. She you know, she 555 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: hopes to grow up and have a family, and she 556 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: just says, I don't know that I'd ever want to 557 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: have children in this world. Listen, there's always reason to 558 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: look at the dark side of life. But on the 559 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: other hand, there's this other side of life. You know, 560 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: there's God's majesty that you can see every day for free, 561 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: and that is, you know, a beautiful beach, a beautiful sunset, 562 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: the sun, the stars, the sky, the planets. You know, 563 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: there's beauty everywhere. There's nature, the beauty and nature, and 564 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: you can see all of that too. Um, there's beauty 565 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: and friendships that you can develop. Um, maybe this is 566 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: a situation. There's there's a maybe there's a woman's Bible 567 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: class that she can join and develop new friendships. Maybe 568 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 1: there's a counselor at your church. Maybe there's a family 569 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: friend that's a counselor. I would definitely be taking that 570 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: to a high level of seriousness and urgency and start 571 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: getting her the help that she needs. A lot of 572 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: us in life at times we just need perspective. We 573 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: need to stand back and realize, Okay, as bad as 574 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: this moment is, it's not going to last. And that's 575 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: what I have found in my life. You hit these 576 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: these bumps in the road, they're hard, and then they 577 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: pass and she will have better days. Um And I 578 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: believe that with all my heart. I believe God created 579 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: every man, woman and child on this earth. Every man, 580 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: woman and child was given talent from God, and it's 581 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: a matter of her finding where her talents lie and 582 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: finding a way to make money at it. At the 583 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: end of the day, making money it's basically just for 584 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: the necessities and life at first, and then it's beyond that. 585 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: Then it's do you want luxuries in life? What kind 586 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: of life do you want to provide for your kids? 587 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: All of those things factor in well, right now, I'd 588 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: focus more on the urgency of making sure that we 589 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: get her to a better place where she's happier, and 590 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: maybe that means a new job, a new career, a 591 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: new outlook on life. Maybe she needs to move back 592 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: with you for a short period of time, and there's 593 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. If she does, she needs to 594 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: not live her life worried about what other people think 595 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: of her. And then while she's you know, getting the 596 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: proper help and perspective that she needs to go back 597 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: out on her own, she's secure financially and will have 598 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: the ability to devote the time necessary. Look, I say 599 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: this to my kids all the time when they complain, 600 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, make a list of all the things 601 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: you love about your life and a list of things 602 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: that you don't like, and then I really want you 603 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: to do a comprehensive list. Now they never do it, 604 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: but it does make them think because they realize that 605 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: there's so much to be thankful for all of us. 606 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: We take so much for granted in this life. But 607 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: as a parent, I'm sure it's probably very scary for you. 608 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: What is her? How old is she? By the way, 609 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: she's twenty two, And I can tell you that as 610 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: her mother fifty six years old, this is scary for me, 611 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: this whole everything that's going on politically. Another thing is 612 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: we've gotten her off of social media, and I can 613 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: tell you that as hard as it is for my 614 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: husband and I, it's got to be that much more 615 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: difficult for our young people who don't have the life experience. 616 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: It's it's honestly the most important job you're going to have. 617 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: Your daughter clearly is crying out for help. Find her 618 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: the help that she needs, and help that she can 619 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: relate to. Maybe that's your church, maybe it's a counselor 620 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: maybe it's a professional. I don't know. I don't have 621 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: the exact answer, and I don't know what your financial 622 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: situation is. And if you can help her financially in 623 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: the interim, or bring her home for a little while, 624 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: get her stable and secure, and you know, go take 625 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: one of them. You can go down on one of 626 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: these places or even online somewhere and take these tests 627 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: and they'll give you feedback of what professions you might 628 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: want to want to pursue based on the answers that 629 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: you give, and maybe that would be perfect for her. Okay, yeah, 630 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: she's Yeah, she actually lived at home with us, and 631 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: she's just started a new job. And I'm hoping that 632 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: all of these things, as I've been telling her this 633 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: too will pass. And there's so much you know, God, 634 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent. We know that 635 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 1: God has a perfect plan for her life and the 636 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: only one that you can change this is God. And 637 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: we are definitely all of our family is going together 638 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: on November eighth, which my son turns eighteen, so he 639 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: will be a new voter. So you know what, regardless 640 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: so wins a political election, she should still be happy. 641 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you live in North Carolina. You live in 642 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: a beautiful state, and there's plenty of places where she 643 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: can go, and there's I'm sure there were places in 644 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: the mountains. I've been in the mountains of North Carolina. 645 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: They're beautiful and and she needs to connect with nature. 646 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: But I definitely think when that ward is said or stated, 647 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, by somebody, to me, it's always a cry 648 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: for help that needs to be taken seriously. Okay, I 649 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: hope that helps you. Thank you for your time, Yes, 650 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: you bet you, And I'm praying for he wish her 651 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: the best.
