So I'll give you a little bit of an update on this coming up in the show, but getting out in the real world this past weekend was a, was a, kind of unplanned, it was last minute, but a necessary thing to do. I do not get, right Jim? Producer Jim in Texas feeling even worse right now. But, you know, our lives are politics. We're like kind of sports broadcasters when the Super Bowl's over. It's like, man, what are we going to talk about?

What do you talk about? Offseason trades are not nearly as interesting as like the week that runs up to the Super Bowl. They're just not.

But it was good to get out this weekend because you realize just how great this country is. I met so many amazing people and I do not get out often. And there's one other thing I wanted to bring up too. I live in Florida, a state that largely withstood the onslaught of socialists, tyrants, life-losers, zeros, progressives, commies, liberals, all the same thing in some respect, right?

I saw a poll this weekend.

It just speaks again to the effectiveness of not rug pulling people and doing what you tell people you're going to do when you say you're going to do it when you run for office. Because I know a lot of people are disappointed. They lied to us. They said affordability and we'll discuss this through the course of the show today. The Democrats told us they were voting on our wallets and the economy and affordability. What people are talking about now is impeachment, stealing your health care, jamming everybody into Medicaid. Well, that wasn't what we voted on. I'm sorry. I tried to warn you. But when you do what you say you're going to do over time, like what happened in Florida, the Republicans down here from Rick Scott and Candidly, even Jeb did a decent job, to Rick Scott, to Ron DeSantis, we have had a generational run of good, solid conservative leadership down here in Florida. And it shows that people will follow if you lead. I saw this survey done, and it showed that the largest shift in votes in Florida from Republican to Democrat, because the races were close in Florida, right? The largest shift from Republican to Democrat were people who've lived in Florida for a long time. The new transplants to Florida were the ones that held and voted Republican. What does that say to you? That survey data, that people who left the horrors of blue states, New York, California, Illinois, and moved down to Florida were the ones most likely to not fall for the rug pull. Oh, about affordability. I've been told that in Illinois. I've been told that in New York. I was told that in California too. I'm not falling for that crap. Folks, the poll is all over the place. You can check it out yourself, the survey, whatever you want to call them. Now, Texas, I think you had a different result. And the reason is, I think a lot of the people that came from Texas were a lot of tech people who were in Austin, elsewhere in these tech hubs, who are frankly, very wealthy, I'm just being candid, and really don't suffer the impact of far left tax policies as much as the average working class does. The people moving down to Florida, where there's a good tech hub, I mean, especially building in Miami right now, but it's not nearly like it is in Texas. I think you guys had a different problem. I think middle class American workers, which is the huge bulk of the voting electorate in this country that have lived in blue states, if you continue to produce results going forward in the last two years of the Trump administration, where ladies and gentlemen, despite the despair, and again, we're not doing pig lipstick, oh, it wasn't that bad. No, it was. It was as bad as you can imagine. But it was not catastrophic, because we still have two thirds of the government.

We still have a relatively decent, originalist conservative court outside of Roberts, and Amy Coney Barrett, who waivers at times. We still have a strong record of Trump appointed judges. In this lame duck, we can get two more circuit court, I think two appellate, 18 more circuits through. We still have the presidency. Barack Obama in his midterms got destroyed, even worse than President Trump. He left office with like 50% approval. Bill Clinton left office with 60% approval. He took a beating even worse than we did in the midterms. We still have two-thirds of government.
