• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now, nearly 5 million Floridians no.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Longer pay taxes on Social Security. That's thanks to our
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: hard work. Thanks to what we've done, we've put.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Thousands of dollars back into the pockets of ordinary Floridians,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: from our retirees to our young families who are just
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: starting to get their footing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: All right, that's Vice President J.D. Vance on the campaign trail,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: stumping for Byron Donalds in the great state of Florida. And,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: of course, the American economic boom, which is increasingly a
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: strong message. Anyway, let us bring in, under Governor Ron DeSantis,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: the Florida economy has grown nearly $ 1. 8 trillion, with nearly
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: 4 million new businesses created. Since 2019, Florida, a prosperous
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: place with virtually no taxes. Joining us now, Florida Congressman,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Republican governor nominee, my good friend Byron Donalds. Byron, welcome.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Thanks for coming on Sunday Morning Futures. We appreciate it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Your race looks close. I don't know. Likely voter poll
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: a few days out shows basically toss up between you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: and David Jolly. The Wall Street Journal this morning is
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: running a big piece on you, actually two big pieces
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: on you. And one of them asks repeatedly, Byron, whether
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: you support Donald Trump, OK? So, I'm going to give
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: you a chance to respond. I don't understand a whole piece.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, it went on for 2,000 words. Do you
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: support Donald Trump, or are you running away from Donald Trump?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: LARRY KUDLOWSKI Larry is going to be with you. No,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I support the president. I'm grateful to have the president's
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: endorsement to be Florida's next governor. I'm also honored to
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: have Governor DeSantis' endorsement to be Florida's next governor. Our
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: campaign is focused on the people of Florida. We are
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: going to address affordability issues around insurance, around housing costs,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: around prescription drugs in the state of Florida. We are
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: going to have concrete strategies. We have them. They're on
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: our campaign website right now for people to go and
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: look at them. We're covering everything from common sense reforms
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: in Florida's regulatory system when it comes to insurance, building
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: on the work that Governor DeSantis has already done to
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: lower premiums 20% in our state. It's about permitting reform.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: at state and local levels, because we all know, Larry,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: the longer it takes to build a home, the more
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: expensive the home is. We want to have permitting reform
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: in the state of Florida to lower those costs. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: on the ballot, the people of Florida will decide in
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: 30 days, Amendment 3. I support it. I think the
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: voters of our state, the homeowners of our state, they
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: need relief from property taxes that have nearly doubled in
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Florida over the last seven years. And so these are
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: things that we think are in the best interest of
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the state of Florida. Compare that to my opponent, who
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: doesn't want to see People have lower property taxes. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: his hurricane plan is a government takeover, his insurance plan,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: government takeover of insurance. It will actually leverage a tax
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: on all Floridians who hold insurance policies in our state
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: because his plan simply does not work mathematically. He doesn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: have the funds to put it together. And so what
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: it will result is a tax on everybody in Florida
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: when the next hurricane comes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You know, Byron, Governor DeSantis did a good job. Florida
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: is a very prosperous state. Florida is a magnet. People
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: from the north moving to Florida. Business is absolutely terrific.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Ken Griffith is a perfect example of all that, what
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: he's doing with Carnegie Mellon, bringing them to Miami and
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: so forth. You know, there's an old saying, if it
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: ain't broke, don't fix it. And the national economy is
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: absolutely booming under Mr. Trump's tax cuts and deregulation. If
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it ain't broke, don't fix it, Byron. I mean, why
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: should people change horses in midstream in Florida?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Actually, Larry, they should not. If you look at our state,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: we're the best in America. People continue to come to Florida.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Our university system is the best in the country, number
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: one in small business formation. We are a law and
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: order state. We're a common sense state. So many people
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: have chosen Florida to get away from New York, from
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, from Massachusetts, from Illinois and California. Why would
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: you bring in the same type of leadership that destroyed
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: those states, that made those states unlivable, made those states unsafe,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: made those states less affordable? In Florida, we want to
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: continue to build the Florida dream in our state. build
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: on top of the great work of Governor DeSantis these
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: last eight years.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, just one aside quickly. I'm sure you'll nurture
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: this as governor. What Ken Griffin is doing with Carnegie
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Mellon to bring high technology, a great university to Miami.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: It's a $ 3 billion pitch, $ 2 billion for Miami, $ 1
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: billion for Pittsburgh. These are game-changing things. Now, he wants
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: things to stay the way they are. Florida is a low-tax,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: deregulatory state.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: That's right, and we're going to continue to be that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: And I think, Larry, it's important for you were talking
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: about at the top about the economy. Wages have been
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: rising in Florida just like they've been rising in the
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: United States. The president's agenda around no tax on tips,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: no tax on overtime, and the largest tax cut on
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Social Security has helped Floridians keep $ 3, 200 more in their
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: pocket as opposed to giving it to the federal government.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: And for small business owners, what we passed in the
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: president's agenda actually kept small business taxes low We made
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: those tax cuts permanent in federal law. The Democrats wanted
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: to see small business taxes increase in our country, which
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: would have directly impacted small business owners in the state
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: of Florida. But then when you come down to Florida
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: in our state, we are a business friendly state that
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: people continue to choose because we follow common sense conservative policy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And as long as we continue to do that as
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Florida's next governor. The best days in our state are
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: ahead of us.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: They're not over yet. All right. Optimistic Congressman Byron Donalds
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: running for governor of Florida. Thank you, Byron. Appreciate it
• 5:59
