WEBVTT - The Power of Florida - March 31st, Hour 3 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.680 All right, news, roundup information, overload our toll free on 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.720 numbers eight hundred ninety four one sean if you want 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:06.680 to be a part of the program. The great migration 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:11.000 that has begun out of these blue states, deep blue 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.600 states like New Yalka, New Jersey and Illinois and California 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.160 just continues, and for good reason. People are sick and 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:23.119 tired of endless bureaucracy. Now, Governor Ron DeSantis put out 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.840 a big ex post today saying that property taxes effectively 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.040 require homeowners to pay rent to the government. Constitutional protections 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.279 for Florida homeowners require approval of voters in twenty twenty six. 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.559 In the meantime, Florida's needed relief. I am today proposing 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.240 a plan that will result on average one thousand dollars 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.879 rebate check for each homestead as a discount on their 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.720 property taxes if the legislature acts on this plan. Now, 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.800 we can get this done this year. Let's get it 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.200 done for the people of Florida this session. And the 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.880 President and the Governor's pushing very very hard for this now. Also, 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.040 along with all of the investments that Donald Trump is 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.080 bringing into the country, there is a reason why states 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.840 like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, a few others. They 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.399 keep drawing industry into their home states because they make 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.319 it a business friendly environment. In the state of Florida, 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.039 for example, they are adopting Doge like cuts. We'll talk 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.640 to the governor about that, but they're also the governor 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.160 mentioned manufacturing continues to grow all over the state of Florida, 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.440 which means that's high paying career jobs for American workers. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.800 In this case, Floridians that want great jobs, career jobs 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.720 for themselves and other loved ones. Listen. 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.480 When I became governor, we set a goal of increasing 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.600 the number of manufacturing businesses and jobs in the state 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.520 of Florida, and I'm happy to report we have succeeded 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.000 beyond our wildness expectation. Since twenty nineteen, Florida has added 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.960 almost fifty thousand new manufacturing jobs, and over the same 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.360 period of time, we've increased the number of manufacturing businesses 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.359 in the Sunshine State by more than thirty percent. These 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.000 are good jobs, these are strong businesses. We need to 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.079 be making things in the United States, and there's no 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.000 better place to make things than the free State of Florida. 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.760 Anyway, Governor Ron de Santos joins US Now. Governor, great 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:23.720 to talk to you. How are you. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.840 We're doing really good, Sean. We're just rocking and rolling. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.880 I really appreciate you highlighting the growth in manufacturing jobs, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.360 because as President Trump works to put America first, he 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.160 stressed the need to have a strong manufacturing base. That's 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.399 something that we've been seeking to do in Florida since 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.000 the time I became governor. And to have over fifty 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.840 thousand manufacturing jobs created over a six year period with 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:52.280 a third thirty three percent increase in manufacturing businesses, We've 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.960 really never seen anything like that. Florida had always been 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.080 more of an agriculture and tourism state, and we still 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.840 do those things well, but we are continuing to expand 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.160 our manufacturing footprint. And you know, I think the US 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.560 needs to be able to produce good products and make things, 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.480 and we certainly think in the state of Florida, we're 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.080 an ideal location for folks that want to be productive 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.200 and they want to be treated well. You know, Sean, 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.280 you've come from New York and have talked about how 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.119 pleasant it's been. I've got guys that have moved businesses 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.360 from New York, and the things that they'll tell me is, 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.079 you know, you feel like in Florida they actually want 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.720 you to succeed. In New York, they feel you feel 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.400 like you're a burden, just the fact that you're trying 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.360 to do business. And so we've really fostered that culture 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.440 and it's paid off and more opportunities for our citizens. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.000 I mean, we had the Attorney General, James Ethmeyer on 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.760 the program earlier today talking about the Tesla takedown and 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:51.240 how the law enforcement in Florida has been instructed that 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.240 they're not going to put up with with any disorderly conduct, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.680 any acts of domestic terrorism. And they were all over 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.400 every Tesla dealership all around the state this weekend. And meanwhile, 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.320 you had all this trouble around the country and other 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.880 states they tend to be blue states where the fund dismantled, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.200 no bail law mentalities exist. We didn't have any major 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.279 incidents in the state of Florida. That's because you, yeah, look. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.919 That goes back to the beginning. I mean, when I 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.560 came in, we rejected all the jail break legislation that 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.719 the Blue states were doing. You know, we weren't going 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.360 to get rid of bail. We weren't going to lower penalties, 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.279 we weren't going to let people out, and certainly not 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.040 going to allow California style policy Gen go in and 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.520 loot a store for nine hundred and ninety nine dollars. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.960 Then when the BLM riots were happening in Minnesota and elsewhere, 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.080 we said, not happening in Florida. You will be held accountable, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.320 and as a result, you didn't see cities burning down 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.960 in Florida. We've also enacted legislation that penalizes people if 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.520 they riot, if they block traffic, if they do all 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.240 this stuff. So when you had the Hamas people try 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.039 to take over a street in Miami, they were on 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.840 the street for thirteen minutes before they got dragged off 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.040 that street. We had another one in Orlando. Florida Highway 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.279 Patrol beat Miami's record. They got them off in eleven minutes. 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.599 This is like hundred Hamas people and they're just taken off. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:15.480 And then you have situations like Tesla. Nobody in their 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.160 right mind is going to want to do this in 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.159 Florida because you will be abled accountable, very swiftly and 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.120 very severely. And the result of all this, Sean we 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.720 support law enforcement all this. We have a fifty year 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.560 low in the crime rate of the state of Florida, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.919 and so the leadership matters, the policy matters. But what's 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:38.040 going on with the left. If anyone on the right 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.599 did even a fraction of this stuff, you know, you 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:47.120 had Antifa creating mayhem for years, the BLM riots, unbelievable, 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.840 the Tesla stuff, and they think they could just skate 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.440 on all this because in these blue jurisdictions they don't 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.880 get held accountable. There's a major double standard. We don't 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:01.200 obviously accept that in Florida. The Trump administration doesn't accept that, 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.000 even though the Biden administration did. But this is terrorism. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.320 When you're going after the Tesla dealerships. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.960 Can you just list quickly that the categories in which 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.080 Florida is number one. I know you're number one in 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:17.880 education nationwide, but in a lot of areas. You've become number. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.359 One economy two years in a row by CNBC, and 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.839 I think you and I sean No, CNBC does not 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.640 want to rank Florida one. They would rather someone of 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.000 the state do that. We're also number one in higher education. 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.080 Our public university system is ranked number one in the 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.120 United states. And part of the reason we are is 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.760 because I have not allowed any tuition increases at our 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.080 state universities, and so Florida residents pay about sixty three 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.960 hundred dollars to go to really strong universities. We've got 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.839 four public universities in the top fifty public universities in 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.719 the entire country. We're close to the lowest in crime reduction. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.240 We're close to the lowest, if not lowest, in tax burden. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.080 We do have the lowest per capita debt of any 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.040 state in the United States of America. We're number one 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.240 in entrepreneurship, new business formations, and talent development, and probably 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.400 some other ones. But yeah, sometimes it's hard to lose 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.320 track because we've got, you know, a lot of good 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.360 stuff that's happening. But yeah, we're proud of the success 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.720 we obviously you'll have more work to do, but it's 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.520 been it's been great to be able to put the 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:21.320 points on the board. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.000 If I'm correct, I believe this mass migration away from 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.560 blue states with high taxes and burdensome regulation is going 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:33.080 to continue. You also have the age issue. There's still 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.360 people that are baby boomers that for whatever reason, they're 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.760 tied to to some of these blue states. So I 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.680 would argue there's probably a ten to fifteen year window 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.200 minimum in which this migration to Florida is going to happen. Now, 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.880 I don't think these are bad problems, the result of 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.240 which has resulted in much higher property values for people. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.480 That means and that becomes for most people, that's their 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.360 biggest investment. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.520 This you've seen this too. I mean, when people when 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.160 there's a demand to come, and there has been Look, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.400 there's always been people that have moved. You know, you're 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.800 going to retire from Minnesota, warmer weather or whatever. I 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.240 think what's happened more recently is we've drawn a very 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.000 sharp contrast with the left on how to govern a state, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.320 and so that has really accelerated it. And so you know, 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.200 some Floridians in many ways have benefited because they're homes 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.480 that maybe they purchased twenty years ago. The value has 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.560 gone up tremendously. That's the number one source of wealth 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.720 that many Floridians have. But you know, the flip side 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:39.280 of that is as property values are higher, people do 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.320 get hit from the local level with higher property taxes, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.960 and the local government say, oh, we're not reincreasing the millage, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.600 but if you're assessing the property at much higher levels, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.080 even with the homestead protection, people are still getting hit. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:57.720 And it's an unrealized gain because until someone actually does 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.680 a transaction with you, you don't know exactly how much 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.960 your house is worth. It's a guess. And so people 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.280 that have purchased this, particularly some of our senior citizens 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.960 many years ago, are now facing this. If you have 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.880 to move at some point to another place in Florida, 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.480 you're buying at higher levels and the tax basis is higher. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.760 So this has been one of the main things that 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.840 have pinched folks as we've been in an inflation area 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.360 economy under Biden. I think it's going to get better 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.440 under a President Trump, but this is where really they 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.920 need relief. And so that's why we're working on the 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.800 property tax relief because I think it's answering one of 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.040 the main things may one of the main challenges that 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.079 Fluritians are having. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.760 The first question everybody would ask is Okay, if you're 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.079 successful in getting this on the ballot and it was 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.599 approved by voters, and you would need sixty percent of 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.160 voters to approve it, in twenty twenty six. I don't 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.160 really know many people they are going to vote for 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.040 a higher property taxes. I just don't, so I think 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.559 it's the odds of a passing would be pretty high. 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.520 Do I think special interest would probably try and lie 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.720 to people and manipulate them into thinking somehow a tax 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.679 cut on their property taxes would be bad. But if 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:14.080 you look at different municipalities because of the reevaluation of properties, 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.960 this has now become a big issue in Florida, and 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.920 then the question is, well, how do you make up 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.320 the revenue if in the last four years these local towns, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.400 municipalities have been able to especially in the coastal areas, 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.360 double triple the amount of revenue they're taking in every year. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.440 Well, that's what we're doing, is we're working with the 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:38.280 legislature in this legislative session to provide legislative authorization for 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.800 us to doze local governments. So we will send in 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.280 dose team to these counties and some of the bigger 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:48.520 municipalities have lawful authority to have the keys to the 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.040 kingdom to be able to go in look at their 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.560 systems that contracts all this stuff. And I think what 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.160 we'll be able to show is we're one. We know 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.160 we'll be able to show that you've seen a massive 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.560 growth in the budgets in these places over the last 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.319 five or six years. And so they say, oh, if 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.400 you do the property tax, we're not going to be 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:12.280 That's not true. They've voted. So you can absolutely reduce 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.560 these budgets. And so when people ask what's going to happen, Yeah, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.440 you need to reduce budgets, but you also have an 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.840 ability to shift the tax In Florida is unique because 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.760 we have so many visitors, we have so many part 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.280 time residents, we have so many foreign resident visitors who 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.439 come in that you can shift the tax burden to 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.920 those sectors rather than Floridians. And so that would be 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.200 done more at the local level. But if you ask people, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.800 would you rather not have to pay property taxes? If 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:47.000 that meant that Canadians and Brazilians maybe paid more hotel tax, 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.480 I think one hundred percent of Floridians would say that's 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:51.800 a trade that they would want to make. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.720 Having traveled occasionally abroad, every single place I've ever been, 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.960 they charge massive amounts of money in taxes to foreigners. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.160 I mean the fact that that I think it's a 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.679 great innovative way to do it. So what does the 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.360 legislature have to do to make that happen? So this 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.680 becomes a referendum vote in twenty twenty six. 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.080 Well one, I mean, we want to do this tax 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.600 cut this year to give a bridge to next year. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.040 But I think what'll happen is if we do do 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.000 the DOGE, we have the data, we're able to show, hey, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.839 here's the way forward. You know, we're going to be 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:29.640 able to provide relief, We're going to be able to 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.160 have all this stuff functions. Still, then it goes on 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:37.280 the in front of the legislature next a spring, and 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.800 they need to get a certain certain majority supermajority to 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.080 pass it. And then it goes on the ballot in 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.480 November of twenty twenty six. And at that point it's 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.600 a sixty percent threshold, and you know, I mean, I 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.080 think that there's a good chance it'll pass. But these 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.840 things are these things are tricky. It's anything can get fifty, 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.719 but to get sixty you got to have really good, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.800 good stuff. So there'll be a lot of distortions. But 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.040 that that's for another day. But yes, that would be 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.880 the process. Let's get it on the ballot for November 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.680 of twenty twenty six. And the reason why we have 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.080 to go on the ballot is just because although the 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.960 state has a small role in some of the proper 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.920 taxes that go to fund schools, this is this power 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.760 is vested in local governments. And so when you're getting 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.400 your tax bill, that's local government. That money is going 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.640 overwhelmingly to local government, and so we don't control that. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.719 We don't control the valuations at the state level. That's 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.560 all being done locally. So that's why you need the 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.640 constitutional reform to give taxpayers the protection. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.240 All right, quick break more with Florida Governor Rondo Santis 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.880 and then your calls on the other side. Eight one 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.240 hundred and nine to four one sewn. As we continue 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.160 this Monday straight ahead, tin you now, Governor Rondo Santis, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.200 the free State of Florida is with us. Let me 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.400 give you a last question as we're running out of time. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.280 Is it true that you are giving back money that 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.200 the federal government or you gave back a billion dollars 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.000 to the federal government that they gave the state of fee. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:01.680 That's right, Toby. 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:03.800 I've never heard of any state ever doing that. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.439 Well, Biden had woke strings attached to the money, even 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:12.920 the highway money. They wanted me to do tailpipe of mission. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:17.160 I had to regulate people's tailpipe admission. I'm not going 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.120 to do that, Sean. Your tailpipe is your tailpipe. We're 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.840 going to keep the government out of that. But here's 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.280 the thing. Biden's people and then they wanted all this 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.880 refugee money for illegals, and we didn't want to do that, 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.160 so we tried to send it back to Biden. They 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.440 didn't know what to do. They didn't know how to 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.280 accept it. That had never happened before. So we went 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.560 a week and we met with Elon Musk and Elon's like, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.160 wait a minute, you want to give us money back. 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.080 I was like, yeah, Biden wouldn't take it. He's like, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:43.520 oh no, we'll figure it out. He got one of 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.280 his dose guys. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.640 Yeah, we'll figure out how to take your money. That's 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.800 not a problem. Governor Ron DeSantis from my Free State 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.560 of Florida. Governor, we appreciate your time as always, and 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.200 by the way, James is doing a great job as 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:55.800 you're a new attorney general. I think it was a 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:56.560 great picky. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.520 Well should be very very glad that he's in there, and. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.080 People in Daytona Beach and people in the Panhandle need 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.160 to vote tomorrow because we have the congressional seats up 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.520 for grabs, and these are two very vital seats for 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.640 Republicans in Washington. So anyway, Governor, we appreciate your time. 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.760 Eight hundred ninety four one, Shawn is on number. If 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.120 you want to be a part of the program, I 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.000 twenty five now to the top of the hour, toll 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.280 free on numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.600 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.600 Everybody needs a personal safety security strategy. We live in 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.080 a very violent world. Unfortunately, what do you do if 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.280 you're threatened? Well, that's where Berner comes in. It is 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.920 the less lethal option that would be my first choice 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.840 instead of the lethal option. As a matter of fact, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.120 I just got two brand new burners over the weekend 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.360 that have they have those little red dots in them. Linda, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.160 you know what they called. That means you can't miss you. 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.440 That means you would shoot one hundred percent, which would 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.200 be you know, almost impossible under any other circumstances. But 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.640 in all fairness, it is incredible technology. Go watch their videos. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.200 When you go to Burner dot com slash Hannity, you'll 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.600 get ten percent off any purchase that's by RNA dot 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.280 com slash Hannity.

Luckily, Bob he had just got his 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.920 burner four days prior to the incident and he used 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.800 it to backpeddle the guy off of his property. And 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.920 Bob said his initial purchase was two launchers from Berner 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.160 to try him out, and now he's going to buy 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.160 several more.

Actually they have this one 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.639 started with Jesus at the Last Supper. I mean, this 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.040 show is very, very powerful. I've watched it a couple 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.639 of times. You can get it on Apple if you 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.400 want to watch seasons one through four. But they had 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.240 it in theaters this weekend, so I want to go 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.879 see the movie. Finish the movie out. Tesla's technology is 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.080 so sophisticated that I literally had the car that was parked, 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.399 and I go on the Tesla app and I press 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:15.399 a button and the car unparks itself, there's no driver 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.960 in it, and drives to my location, sort of like 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.959 concierge's service. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, valet service. 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.280 Explain that again to your get out of the movie. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.520 Okay, that's correct. I go on the Tesla app and 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.160 then my car. I just go on the Tesla app, 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.120 I press a button and the car will unpark itself, 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.480 drive to me and pick me up like a valet would. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.879 That's crazy, isn't it crazy? And then you even know 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.240 it could do that. I use the self driving mode 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.280 and it is incredible. I drove forty minutes on the 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.159 highway and I didn't I didn't put my foot on 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.200 the gas once. I didn't put I did not one 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.400 time touch the steering wheel. Let'spu Well, I do touch 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.960 it just a little bit, just to kind of keep 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.879 a little hold of it. Do you realize once I 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.520 picked up my phone, it gives a big alert. If 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.560 you pick up your phone two or three times, it'll 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.840 shut off the auto drive because it knows that you're 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.200 using your phone. How incredible is that? 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:23.920 Oh my god. 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.000 This thing goes from zero to sixty. That's over one 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:31.960 thousand horsepower, goes from zero to sixty in one point 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.359 nine to nine seconds. Is that incredible? 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.960 Honestly it's I thought that you love the Xoxo car, 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.120 but it sounds like this weekend you may have I don't. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.159 Have an Xoxo car. Oh my gosh. Do you not 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.560 know what other car? I like? The Corvette z O 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.679 six with the Z seven package. Well, if you love it, 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:54.399 then you should love that. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:55.880 I call it the Xoxo car. 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.560 Okay, this is now. And here's the interesting part. Watch 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.080 online if you google it. The Tesla s plaid in 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:10.920 races against the Corvette Z six, against the Bugatti, against 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:15.040 the Lamborghini, against the Porsche. And this car is faster 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:19.000 than all of them. It beats them all. I've never. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:21.480 I mean you almost feel like you have a G 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.080 force when you put it in supermote. That's how quick 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.879 this car is. I've never. And it's the tightest, you know, 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.600 driving car. You could take it on a racetrack tomorrow. 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:33.080 It's so incredible. 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.160 Oh my gosh, And what color did you get again? 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:36.960 Black on black? 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.679 I didn't, I didn't so if. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.879 You want to drive it, like, if you want to 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.679 drive it like you know, and not have self driving, 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:45.400 how do you do that? 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.520 You just drive? You start driving it and then if 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.080 you want to, if you put in your navigation what 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.560 your destination is, then you literally push a button. You'll 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.960 hold it for a second and then just tends to 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.879 self driving takes over. I mean, the weirdest thing that 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.280 just sit there and watch the steering wheel turn like 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.520 left and turn right and put the blinkers on for 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.240 you that does it all? Yeah, that's wild? And does it? 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:09.560 Now? 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.520 Let me ask you this and this, you know, try 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.639
