us now in the studio of Florida Attorney General Jeth Meier. is here with us today. He has had the job since, what, early 2025, right? That's when you got the job? Yeah, a little over a year and a half now. Well, good morning. Welcome to the show. And welcome to Southwest Florida's 92-5 Fox News right here in the studio, my friend. It's great to be. I know we talked about it. I'm glad we made it happen. I mean, I'm so, I was so pumped up and he was like, are you ready to have me? He's like, you're ready to have him in? I was like, absolutely win. He was like, today. I was like, great, let's have him in. Let's talk. There's so many things. We could talk about, but let's get into who you are. If no one has ever met you, had a one-on-one with you, you're on everyone's ballot coming up in November. The primary few has been pushed to. You don't have an opponent. But you'll be on everybody's ballot in November. So let's talk about who you are to those who don't know you. Give me the short story. Sure. Well, I grew up in the panhandle of Florida. I thought the most conservative part of the state, but being down here in southwest Florida, I don't know, you might give us a run for our money. Right. Was a distance runner, went to the University of Florida, ran track, cross country. And, you know, always was interested in public leadership, policy. Never thought I'd be, you know, a candidate campaigning right now. But ended up in D.C. Got my first job, you know, as a... low-level staff assistant receptionist for a senator that had just defeated a sitting governor in a Senate race, Marco Rubio. and fell into law school. You know, the big issues and fights up in D.C., they always had a complex legal component. I tried to talk myself out of spending more money and more time in school, but I ended up in law school and then went to the law firm that I kept reading in the news was suing Obama over and over again. Jay Jones Day, you know, was bringing all the Obamacare Supreme Court challenges. So I was like, that's where I want to go. I literally walked at the door, said, you guys are suing Obama every day, you know, sign me up. So worked there, and then a long story, time for this morning, the firm ended up doing some legal work for a guy named Donald Trump. And I was the young associate that ended up getting pulled in to do lots of this work. The firm represented all these other political figures that were running for president. And Trump hired him too. So I was one of the first, if not the first lawyers to do his incorporation docs for his... presidential campaign and you know the rest is history. All right. Ended up in his administration. I was a senior advisor to the Secretary of Commerce working on trade, infrastructure issues. I was very fascinated by, you know, President Trump's policy goals to go back to America first. Let's stop offshoring our jobs and our economy to China. Free trade is kind of the theme of that day, but free trade was allowing subsidized products to pump in that were,

4:49

you know, shoddy that they could, China could make lower than our people could manufacture them, and they would run our businesses out of the market. So it was great to help kind of restructure and bring back American manufacturing. And then I got married. My wife wanted to move home to Florida, and a congressman that I'd met and thought highly of somehow became governor. So I went, came down to be his lawyer and kept trying to leave. You know, I never expected to be in government this many years in a row. You know, then you become a bureaucrat. But, you know, I kept getting it. a new job and new goals. And then eventually the chief of staff? I became the chief of staff. I did a stint on the governor's campaign for president. Came back. We had those two amendments that I knew we had to defeat before I could move on and go back to the private sector. And then we had some musical chairs when President Trump took back the White House and appointed Marco Rubio. And then Moody moved. I was just glad there was a chair left for me at the end. So here we are. And I got to tell you, I've never been happy. It is the most fun job I will ever have. We've put a record number of violent offenders behind bars in the last year and a half. Our prosecutions are up now 70%, give or take. Record child predators, four times the number of sentences for people that have abused children in the last year. Today, here in Lee County, it's a sad story, but I'm glad we got them. We're going to announce our 2000 child predator arrest. Wow. Wow, that's a big story. That's a big story. Your 2,000 child predator. arrest? Is this something that every day you're looking at, your team is looking at? It's my number one. You know, we are... You're a parent. Is that why it's your number of? I'm a parent. Well, it's a big part of it. Right. I mean, it's got to be... Our kids are a gift from God. I mean, they're everything. If we can't protect them, then what are we doing as a society? And today, with the internet and technology, predators are getting to them in so many different means. So, yeah, it's number one. We got a lot of bad guys. We're going to fight, but who are we, you want to do the... Do I have to wait for the announcement? I don't spend later on. Do I have to wait? I can't say too much yet. They're still finishing some things. What I will say is this is a teacher. This is a teacher with some serious child pornography charges, and I think it highlights that you never know. who could be a danger to your kids out there. We've arrested town Santa Clauses for, you know, 20 years they've had kids sitting on their laps. People working at Disney theme park. Maybe that doesn't surprise some out there. A lot of people in churches, in schools, and youth groups. I've seen coaches. I've seen, right. It is, oh, it's just horrifying. And we're going to get everybody we can find. But the message is parents need to be careful. If you don't really know who somebody is that's spending a lot of time in private with your kids, I would. would be very, very careful. Yeah, absolutely. And when you think about, you know, how do you get the trust back? I mean, is this the only way the parents are going to get the trust back and the teachers, the coaches, the leaders, the mentors of their children, the people that you and I, growing up, looked up to, you know, I trusted my coach. My coach, matter of fact, my seventh grade wrestling coach broke my collarbone, showing me a move, and I never ever held it against him. I was like, I held up, wrestled for him the very next year. Like, that's just the way it is, you know. great leadership but nowadays you're right you got to question it even my wife she's like worried about where my kid has sleepovers because you don't know everybody that's at that house

8:08

Yeah, it's a different world today. You know, people ask, are there more predators out there today than there were before? Are you just finding them more easily today? I think it's a little bit of both. I do think the Internet and vices have allowed people that are demented to seek more and more, you know, scratches of their itch. But I also think technology has helped us find people. It used to be, you know, a white van driving around a neighborhood that would have some predators. And that's almost easier. You know, we got great sheriffs, point them on it. They get it. They take it down. Today it's happening in the back corner of a kid's bedroom on their device, their cell phone, their computer. Parents don't even understand. The kid probably thinks he's talking to another kid, but it's an adult that's pretending using a fake photo, talking in a fake dialect, spending weeks or months building a relationship and getting the young one to drop his guard, and then soliciting information, extorting, and in the worst of cases, physically meeting up and abusing. Well, we love that you're taking another one down today, especially right. here in southwest florida it's a i'll be looking forward to that press conference since i have to wait one year in office man here you are you uh you've done so much you just gave us the list of uh accomplishments that you've done which one would you say is your proudest moment which one is your proudest moment is it about to happen today This is definitely the top priority for our office. It's so fulfilling to get these bad guys, and we're handing out stiff sentences. We want them locked up for as long as the law will allow away from our kids where they can't hurt anybody else. But perhaps more importantly, through a lot of these human trafficking raids and efforts, we've been able to rescue almost 400 children in the last year and a half that were previously reported missing. Many have been abused in the worst of ways, but we're giving them care, the treatment they... need obviously they need prayers and they're on the long road to recovery but that those you know i tear up at some of those events where we were able to bring home 100 plus kids in a single operation you ever want to go and be like there with them on the raid or go there with them i have multiple times i have and how does that how is that is that surreal like is that give you the moment to really realize like yeah we're putting this guy behind bars well you see how much goes into it it's a big team that works on it scanning the interwebs, having the, you know, undercover conversations and then bringing in the SWAT guys. That's my favorite part. They all show up. I just wanted to talk, you know, to an eight-year-old girl. We're in right now with Attorney General James Outhbeyer. We are talking a lot about what's going on. We'll talk constitutional things next on daybreak.

10:47

No trail. Big decisions are on the ballot across Southwest Florida. Two open seats in Congress, the race for governor, and key local elections. Live results, reaction, and analysis. Tuesday night at 7 on 925 Fox News. Welcome back to daybreak here on 925 Fox News, right all along. I'm your host, Jason Jay Jones, along with Rob Stevens, and sitting with us for the entire hour, James Uthmeier, your attorney general of Florida, a man who stands for the Constitution. Before we jump into some constitutional questions, I want to ask you about the ice gloves. We told the story earlier. I'm sure you heard me. There are these new shock gloves that ice is getting ready to get that de-escalates situations. Have you seen them or heard about them yet? I've heard about them. I have not seen them. All right. So basically, it's just a glove. You press a button and it becomes a taser. And immediately they fall to the ground instantly. Some people say that these could be used in an ill manner. way. It could give the ICE agents even more tools to become vicious or violent. Do you think that these gloves are something that is necessary and do you support the use of them? What I'll say is you've seen people attacking ICE officers. These are federal law enforcement officials. They're doing their job. We're happy to have them here in Florida. And people are going after them. We're trying to hit them in the head with rocks, attack them, stab them. At the end of the day, a law enforcement official needs the tools to protect himself and get the job done. So I support them. Like anything, you don't want new technology to be abused. If somebody's using it improperly, they need to be held fully accountable. But at the end of the day, we've got to... you know, insure law and order. And here in Florida, we don't have mayhem in the streets and people turning over cars and lighten businesses on fire because we support law enforcement. We give them the tools to be successful. They get the job done. You have been a proponent for the Second Amendment so well here in Florida. Like if you had your way, we would all be issued a firearm and get it for free. And it would be a part of getting mandatory carry. You're 18. Go get your gun. It's available for you right now. It is a government-issued firearm for everybody. I love that you stand for that. One of the big things going on in Florida is the pushback against the flock camera system. The flock camera system that is out. There's two that got cut down in Cape Coral a week ago. One just got cut down on my street last night. And there have been so many people that are saying that it violates our Fourth Amendment right by the based on the number, 100,000 in the United States and all going to a private server where the private... private company with no government oversight. Do you think that the flock cameras violate our Fourth Amendment right? And I understand there's a fine line between protecting law enforcement and giving them the tools they need, but at the same time protecting our Constitution. Yeah, I'm a big believer in limited government. I think law enforcement has the burden to go out and prosecute cases. I've always been very publicly opposed to red light cameras and speed cameras where it takes that burden away from government to go out and actually bring a case, put evidence together. It replaces...

13:59

with an automated, you know, private company. That's scary. So I definitely, I want to rein in the flock camera situation. I know, you know, several other state leaders are looking at this too. It's a breadth issue. Where are they? Should they be on every street and every neighborhood? I don't think so. But what I will say is they've been on interstates for a long time. And just last week, we got a guy that molested and brutally raped a little girl in the Ocala area. And we got them on a license plate reader. on a highway and we're able to interdict them and take them down. So these tools, you know, these cameras have been around for a long time. They're used on the toll roads. I do think there are some legitimate uses where people do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you're driving out on a freeway. You know, your license plate can be seen by anybody that's out there, including law enforcement. But I don't want them in every single neighborhood. And if somebody abuses them, like these cops in Georgia that were spying on. There's been about 50 cases of them right now. That's concerning. If you do that, if you abuse them and you're spying on somebody, you should never be a cop again. You should be punished. It should be a very serious crime with stiff penalties. There needs to be very, very big monetary fines for some of these companies if there's liability and they're abused. But I think there definitely needs to be more oversight and regulation. I do worry about the mass side of it. You know, the geofencing, too large of a geofence became a Supreme Court case because... too big of a geo fence and you're following me everywhere I go. Right. And so that's what people worry about. And I think that's this is, but my biggest worry, listen, license play readers, I love tools that help law enforcement. Get the drones. Get everything. I want you to have every technology that you can have, right? And license plate readers, I'm not against, but what I am against is the process of 100,000 of them being in our country. all going to some private server and some building where nobody knows it is, and the government has no way of seeing what they're doing with that information. They say that it's only still pictures, it's only still pictures, but is it for them when they're at the flock? Because we don't know, there's no oversight. And I think that's the bigger issue. And now they're selling them to HOA's and stores and more than just law enforcement. So that's, you know, you'll see one out in front of Walmart. And I'm like, who put this here? And it was wild when I came home yesterday from Piron Donald's event. And there was a news camera right there filming someone that had cut him down. There has been more people cutting them down, fighting, pushing back against it. A lot of localities, a lot of cities and counties are voting to prohibit them or limit their locations. Sumter County just did the same thing. They paused on it. They had an officer situation, a detective that abused the whole situation, right? Well, look, we the people. He'd be arrested her just like you would want him to. He was like, you're fired and you're going to jail for doing it. We the people we have our cons constitutional rights or Second Amendment rights because we feared a tyrannical government. Our founders knew what a tyrannical government was. So these cameras do a lot of good at times, but we can't let that soften us to allow government overreach and creep to take away our individual liberties. So like everything, there's some balance, but at the end of the day, I'm with you. They should not be on every single street in this country. Where did your love for the Constitution come from? Because you have one. It's very passionate. It's very obvious. Where did it come from? It came from my love for history. When you look at what the founders did,

17:26

It's just breathtaking. We don't step back and appreciate it enough. I mean, these were guys that had everything to lose. They were the richest guys in society. They had the land. They had the status. But they were so smart. They were well read on, you know, all the great theologians and historians. And they created a document that, you know, has stood the test of time. I hope it will stand another 250 years. And it, we owe so much to the founders and our Constitution as a law student, as a lover of history. I love our Constitution. and defending it is not hard. I don't care what the news says or who hits me or beats me up. If I'm standing on the Constitution, I know I'm in a good place no matter what. And a lot of people will stand with you right alongside as you stand with the Constitution. Man, it's so cool sitting down with you. All right. If you want to ask a question to the Attorney General, you can text it in right now. We'll grab a couple off the text line and ask them. But we are sitting down with him all the way through the hour here today. So if you do have that question, send it to us now. 239-479-559. to send it straight on through to the line. What are you got now? What is the thing that you're looking at the new thing? That's what I want to get into next because you're always onto something. I mean, you even made a comment like if that WMBA situation and I was like, did he just comment on the WMBA? And are we going to put Anthony Fauci in jail? That's all coming up next year on daybreak as we sit down with Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier on 92-5 Fox News right all along.

19:08

I survey. Two open seats for Congress. One place to listen. Primary election coverage done right. 92-5 Fox News. Right. All along. Welcome back to Daybreak on 92-5 Fox News, right all along. In studio right now with Florida's Attorney General James Uph. James Uthmeier. It's James Uthmeier. You know, we talked about it during the break. I said it's in James Uthmeier, James Uthmeier, so many people. And for years I've said James Uthmeier, and then I've hear you say it, but then you hear, I've heard the governor say it. I've heard a lot of people kind of makes it up a little different. I think naturally the Germanic tongue, you know, the language, it's German and over there, but my family coming over here, as my wife says, soft U, soft T-H. All right, there we go, James Uthmeier, there we go. It's great. You know, he introduces himself in every single clip he does. We don't need you to point out the fact that I miss. This is Attorney General James Uthmeier. Why did you turn his mic on just for him to do that? That wasn't necessary. So people don't need to know to say it. They just need to know to recognize it on a ballot. Right. You know who it is. You know which. So you had an opponent that was here and then dropped out or didn't qualify. So that's why the primary is not in existence for you. Did he drop out and support you for a... Attorney General? I think he actually supported my opponent. I didn't really get to. The Democrat? Yeah. Really? That's what I heard. Dodged the bullet for sure on that one. But you do have a lot of people that have already endorsed you for Florida Attorney General, right? I've got quite a few. Give me a couple of your favorites. What's your favorite? Go ahead and say it. I'll let you go ahead. Well, you got to give the big guy, Mr. Donald J. Trump, the president. Having him endorsed me is a big deal. And he, you know, he called me and told me he sees results. That's what it was about. We've locked up more people in Florida than any other state in the country. Our crimes at an all-time low. We've deported more criminal-illegal aliens than any other state in the country by about threefold. You enjoy doing it. You say that with a smile on your face. That's how I know that it's great having somebody that enjoys. He's like, we've deported so many people. I love it. It's great. We got all the illegals out of this. We're not done yet. We're not done. TPS just ended. Getting ready to gear back up. Speaking of TPS, are we on the verge of another mass deportation? with TPS has now ended, and you have a lot of people here in Florida on TPS status. I think you're going to see more. Obviously, the federal government, this is their purview and their call. But, you know, it's amazing that you have people going into court saying, you know, this is permanent status, when literally the name of the program starts with the word temporary. Right. So it's been frustrating to see the Supreme Court not come down with us on many cases over the last year, not following the text and rule of law. You know, election day is the word is day. It doesn't mean you get to turn in ballots for two weeks after election day. And it hurts states like Florida that do everything right and announce our results shortly after 8 o'clock on election day. So that's been challenging. But seeing the Trump administration enforce rule of law, laws that didn't need to be rewritten. The immigration laws have been on the books for a long time. They're valid. They've been, you know, upheld in court. He's finally allowing the federal law enforcement officers to do their job. Birth tourism is something that's really big. And it's been going on for many decades before it's actually come to the forefront that we've heard about it here as citizens.

22:44

What are you doing to find birth citizenship here, or not birth tourism here, where a Chinese guy comes here and has an American mother, birth him a child so you can have an American citizen, only to come back to McDill Air Force Base and leave IEDs and go back to China? Yeah, well, we worked on... Allegedly. Many of the surrogacy problems last session. We rolled out a bill. I don't know why the legislature didn't support all of it because it... prohibited sex predators, people that are registered sex offenders from buying a child through surrogacy. One thing we did get done, though, was you can't be an international foreign citizen and come purchase a child anymore. We've got a lot of cases we're working on. They're confidential because they're about kids, but you have foreign... couples a lot of gay couples that want to come here and buy a child in florida because legally they can't do that in their own state and then a lot of cases around the country now people are wanting to force moms into abortions if the child is is you know not the exact child they wanted and moms want to stand firm and actually have their child. When moms find out about these foreign Chinese guys wanting to come by a child, they don't want to participate anymore. They want to give the money back to the surrogacy company and keep the baby. And then you get this fight about who has custody of the child and everybody's using contract law. Well, if you're contracting for the buy and sell of a child, it sounds a lot like slavery. Right. So these are new. Tough questions. You know, I know there's a lot of moms out there that, you know, have used some of these new technologies to have children. And, you know, I can't relate to somebody that's wanting to give birth and can't get pregnant or has some sort of health issues. So there's obviously different scenarios here. But I think that we all, as Floridian, should agree. We do not want Chinese citizens coming here to buy children that become American, you know. citizens and then take them over to China. And then bring them back 20 years later to try to assimilate them so they can slide into something. I have a long wild theory there where that goes eventually to an inside Trojan horse and takes down one state or a country. He can take it down the whole country if he plays his game all the way up and then changes his tune as soon as he gets the job. And I think those are one of the things I worry about when it comes to that. All right, we did get some questions from listeners and I want to try to squeeze a couple in here. My question is how does the Attorney General feel about Florida Sheriff Association coming out against Amendment 3, Ron from Lehigh Acres. Amendment 3 is a big thing right now. Everybody's talking about it. You have to rewrite it or something on the ballot. Yeah, I'm going to vote for it. I think people need tax relief. I will say the way it was rolled out, they didn't include the sheriffs, which was wrong. Does our state have the funding to provide this tax relief and still ensure the budgets of our sheriffs do not get sacrificed at all? are doing a good job. We've got record crime lows and most arrests ever. It's not rocket science. When you lock bad guys up, crime goes down. So I don't want to do anything to jeopardize our law enforcement budgets. I wish they had been looped into the conversation to ensure there's some protections there. And if it doesn't end up passing, you know, I'm going to look forward to working with state leaders and the sheriffs to get it rewritten the right way. And I think that's important. You know, you don't want to lose the funding for your law enforcement. And, you know, but a lot of times,

26:04

the counties that fund your constitutional officers like that, they have the money. They always, you know, I always say this. You know, if you took $100 million away from a county, you just went in and took it away and said, you can have this back in six years. I'm going to, we're going to, as a state, and I'm not saying we'd ever do that. I don't want to do that. They would find a way to cover that loss instantly. They're not going to go out of business. It's not like, oh, look, we lost $140 million this year. Lee County's closed up. We're done. Shutting up. Cities and counties, they don't just shut down. There's always a way that they will survive and they will overcome. And I just find it crazy that people don't want to put more money back in their pocket. A lot of counties have had their revenues double or get close to doubling due to the influx of population and values going up. But the services haven't really changed that much. So what do they need all that extra money for? It needs to get back in the pockets of our citizens. But you do have some situations where there's rural counties. where there is a lot of crime. A lot of fentanyl was getting trafficked through north central Florida where you have a low population. We can't afford to jeopardize law enforcement there. But you're right. This was not going to be a switch overnight. And what the amendment does that I think is most important is it opens it up for the legislature to make adjustments every single year if they want to, to have the economists looking at this, look at the revenues, look at the sales tax coming in, figure out what is needed to handle our essential services. and adjust every year, rather than having to deal with the Constitution, which is virtually permanent and kind of ties our hands. And then it's got to go back to the voters. All right. The other question coming in. There's a missing child ceremony on September 14th in Tallahassee. Does the AG plan to attend? It would mean a lot to the parents with missing kids. Did you even know that there was a missing child ceremonies? I think I'm aware of it. Right. Things like that. If I can be there, I will be there. I don't have my calendar open in front of me, but I go to as many of those as I can. Everybody invites you to everything. And I want to be everywhere. I want to be there to celebrate, you know, the recovery. I mean, we've rescued so many missing kids, but there's still so many more out there. So our work is not done. We've got to keep fighting the fight. When you get... a case that you think or something happens where you feel like that you know you're going to you are personally going to get involved in something uh what is it that that is the The motivator? Where is it that? What is the thing that says the attorney general is going to get involved in this particular case? And I'm going to be superseding it and overseeing it the entire time because I see you do it a lot where you'll say, I'm here to do this or are you just one to let everyone else do their job and just the guy that announces a lot? I empower my team, but I'm very involved. I'm probably a little different than the average principal public servant. I'm very much in the weeds. It's my nature. I was a staff person for the governor. senators and I love policy. I love getting my hands dirty. I love to dive way more than an inch below the surface to do the work alongside the team. But I support them. I don't micromanage. I let talented lawyers do their job. But I'm motivated by our victims, the most vulnerable. When I see people getting hurt, that's when I want to roll up my sleeves and go to battle. You, um...

29:23

You sit here and when it comes to the missing children in here and the alerts of missing children, now you're rescuing today. What was the number that you rescued? How many children have we rescued here for? We're close to 400 and we will reach 400 in the next 60 days, children that were previously reported missing and have now been recovered. Many of them, they'll never have a normal life. We've rescued some young teenagers that are pregnant from their abusers. But one, I was able to see one. and 15-year-old get rescued. And she said the only thing that kept her going that kept her alive wanting to live was to give birth to this baby and be its mom. The Attorney General James Uthmeier here with us today. James Uthmeier, James Uthmeier, James Uthmeier, I did it again. Oh, we need somebody to play the College of Political Knowledge. 239-479-5592. Call now to play.

So thank you very much for watching us each day. Did you just watch us here with the Attorney General? Yes, sir. What did you think about all the things he said? What did you think about all that?

And this year will be my first year going to the polls as 92-5 Fox News host. So it'll be fun to see it and to talk about it when I get back. All right. I'll be bringing on my boys, so I want him to experience it too. I love that. Raise them right all along. All right, here we go. Let's get into it. First question.

32:29

The president has the Oval Office for his meetings. Where does Congress meet? The House of Representatives? Where do they meet? Where? I'm looking for where. The venue. I'm drawing a blank. I don't know that one. The Capitol, the Capitol, the Capitol building. The Capitol. Oh, there you go. All right. Question number two, Gabriel. All right, here we go. What famous speech did Abraham Lincoln give during the Civil War? Was it the Emancipation Proclamation? Speech. No, the Gettysburg Address, the Gettysburg Address. All right, all right, here we go. Here we go. You got another shot. Here we go. What is the name of the special desks the president uses it in the Oval Office? The Resolute Desk. Yes, there we go. $50 to Mel Ziner and associate's degree for you. All right, here we go. It's now time for the bachelors. Who is the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court? I know this answer, but I forgot her name. It was, I want to say, during Reagan's era, yeah? I don't have that information. Sandra Day O'Connor was the answer. But you know what? You still got yourself a $50 gift card to go check out Mels Diner and associate's degree in the College of Political Knowledge. Melz diner were locations in Naples, Benita, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral. There's great home-cooked food near you, my friend, all right? All right. Hey, did you know that the resolute desk was taken out of the office for a very long time? And then it was JFK that put it back in the office. His wife did. Jackie, yeah. Yeah, they replaced it with a different desk. Did you know that they have a lot of different desks that they can choose from when they become president? I did not know that. But the resolute's the best, if you ask me. Did you know that they have the ability to change the entire decoration of the entire White House? Is that why they have the, what is it, the chief of interior decoration, whatever? That's why it's gold, baby, gold. Oh, gold. Didn't President Trump on his first term, didn't he replace all of the door handles and like door hardware with gold plated? Hardware? I don't know. I think that was one of the things that he did that the Biden started to tear out just because they had their own TDS to deal with. If Congress gets their act together, we could have a beautiful, big, beautiful ballroom. Oh, I think the ballroom's happening, whether Congress is on board or not. That's going to happen. We're not worried about that. And he'll write a check for it if he has to. Hold on game. All right. We've got to get some information from you, man. Great conversation. And more importantly, thank you for listening to 92-5 Fox News. watching on Southwest Florida CW, all right? I appreciate it. All right. You hold on. Let me get all your information. I love that he called in and said I'm watching you right now. And it's one of the things I heard a lot when we were out at at Byron Donalds's last night at his hometown rally was we watch you on CW every morning when we get up. Awesome. One woman comes up to me and she goes, you know, we wake up together every day.

I said you know. My wife would be so mad if she was here and you said that out loud. I just so you know. And she walked up and she was like, you know what? I don't miss it. I turn on the TV as soon as I wake up and there you are. And I was like, well, thank you very much. I appreciate you. And then she said, you know, you look better in person than you do on TV. Well, the camera does add 10 pounds to all of us. Right. I was like, well, I'm going to tell them to get better cameras. I'm just playing. Byron Donalds joins us next here on daybreak.
