00:00Jay, you know, it's been a big six months, big six months.

00:10Donald Trump has taken Washington by storm.

00:18The Republicans on Capitol Hill, we actually passed one big, beautiful bill.

00:24The media doesn't really know what to think.

00:33Well, they never really knew what to think.

00:35Let's just be honest.

00:36Not the brightest.

00:38And the Democrats have lost it.

00:40They've lost their minds.

00:44I'm from Brooklyn, New York, born and raised.

00:48You can hear by the chatters in the crowd, Brooklyn is always in the house.

00:54But my former home city has lost its mind.

00:58They are bringing in some guy named Mamdani.

01:05I mean, you can boo the man because the ideas are crazy.

01:08This guy wants to bring back government supermarkets.

01:12I say bring back because the government used to be in the food distribution business.

01:18For anybody who's old enough, they will tell you that if you were poor, like I was, in

01:25New York City, like I was, you would stand in lines to get cheese, peanut butter, and a

01:30bunch of other things.

01:31The government would give the stuff out.

01:33I've stood in those lines as a young kid.

01:36That's the history.

01:37That's the truth.

01:39The government's so bad at it, they got out of that business and just gave people these

01:44things called food stamps.

01:47We now call them SNAP benefits.

01:49And that's what they gave people to go to the supermarket and buy it for themselves.

01:53Because at some point, somebody realized giving away food out of a government store is not

01:59what the government should be doing.

02:01How about we just help people at the bottom, give them purchasing power so they can go to

02:06the supermarket and get it for themselves.

02:10Novel concept.

02:12But this guy in New York wants to bring it back.

02:18He somehow thinks that he is smarter than all economics, that all of human history, and

02:24thinks he can actually deliver for the people of New York City.

02:27So as a guy who's running for governor in the great state of Florida, who, by the way,

02:45has been endorsed by Donald Trump to be the next governor of Florida, I have a responsibility

02:54to prepare my state for a lot more New Yorkers.

03:05When you come to this line in a speech, some people are happy, some people are sad.

03:09But we have a simple phrase we tell some of my former compatriots from the state of New

03:14York.

03:15New York, if you come here to Florida to be free, to have no state income tax, to live

03:28in a state where we want you to innovate, to be successful, where government's not in

03:34your way, if you come here, do not vote for the same stupid people in Florida.

03:41Don't vote for the same stupid people.

03:50These are the people who thought it was cool to let an auto pen run the White House.

03:56Let's not do that.

03:58These are the people who thought it was okay to open up our borders and let tens of million

04:02people in the United States.

04:05These are the people, and this is one of their bright ideas that actually didn't get adopted.

04:09These are the people who thought it was okay for the Treasury Department to spy in every

04:13one of your bank accounts if you spent more than $800 in a calendar year.

04:18That's how crazy the Democrats have gotten.

04:22This stuff is sick, and it's nuts.

04:25These are the people who believe in a central bank digital currency.

04:29These are the people who believe that just by raising more taxes and spending more money,

04:40that somehow we will all be prosperous.

04:43But because of all of your hard work over the last two years, the American people said,

04:50no, no, we don't want that mess anymore.

04:53We want common sense, we want freedom, we want liberty, we want Donald Trump.

04:59So keep Mom Donnie in New York, but it ain't coming to Florida.
