Welcome into Outkick the Show. I'm your fearless leader Clay Travis. I hope you guys are having fantastic Thursdays wherever you may be across this great country or this great land.

We got a lot to dive into, but I want to thank you for all subscribing for Outkick VIP and such incredible numbers. We've had to go back and order thousands of more copies of our most recent book.

If you have signed up and you have not gotten your book yet, you will. I am in the process of signing them all, but we had to go back to the publisher and get more printed.

So it's going to take a little bit of time. Go sign up for Outkick VIP at outkick.com. I get an access to a VIP message board VIP phone line.

If you listen to the radio show live or on podcast, you'll hear people calling in on the VIP phone line. Also the ability to comment on all of our articles.

So jump in today and get rolling there at Outkick VIP. Whitlock is now in Nashville. He came over yesterday and cooked for the entire family.

Said he wanted to peak early. Told my kids they would now not get Christmas presents. So that is what's going on there. We're going out for a Outkick partner dinner tonight in Nashville.

And it should be a good time. So that is on the horizon here. I've got lock it in coming up in about 30 minutes or so.

A little bit of 45 minutes ish, but we got a lot to dive into. So let's get right to it. Coronavirus update.

I want to give you the Florida numbers that are not getting very much attention because they're all moving in such a positive direction right now.

Okay. So in Florida today, they reported just shy of 100,000 tests, which is nearly the high for the past two weeks in terms of overall number test results being reported.

And they had a positivity rate in Florida, which is a new low over the past couple of months, meaning all of July back in, I think, to late June all the way up to August 8.34% positive in Florida.

Right. The goal is 5% positivity. That's what everybody kind of says. Hey, let's try to get it around 5% that's a goal where you know you can manage it fairly easily.

Florida is now down to 8.34% positive new low being set rapidly moving in the direction of really outstanding results in Florida.

The death rate is a fraction of the disaster that we saw from New York and New Jersey. 120 people, I believe today that's down off of last week. The peak appears to have a, I have a curd already and it's now moving in the direction of positivity.

Nobody talking about Florida now. This has been a story from the get go whenever stories disappear, assume that they're actually positive Arizona everybody was panic. Arizona is effectively through their outbreak.

Texas everybody was panicking everybody is now not talking about Texas because they are through the outbreak and Florida as well. All of those moving in a good direction. And by the way, Florida right now has one fifth of the death rate of New York despite more confirmed cases than New York ever had.

That's because so far, Ron DeSantis, unlike the governors of New York and New Jersey has not been an unmitigated disaster. And so I encourage all of you to actually look at the data yourself. I'm going to tweet out the direct link to the Florida Department of Health and you will be looking at it and saying, oh, wow, that's why that story has disappeared.

None of the worst case scenarios actually happen. And so I am applauding the Republican governors, Ducey and Arizona, Abbot in Texas and Ron DeSantis in Florida, they get crushed.

They get crushed because their Republicans, even though they have infinitely better results in their state than the Northeast, the Northeast governors did who have been overwhelmingly praised by the media.

Again, Florida with one fifth of the death rate of New York despite more cases, Ron DeSantis has dunked all over Cuomo and also the governor of New Jersey Murphy.

Yet Cuomo has somehow become the praised, beloved figure in the world. I don't understand it at all. It's an evidence of major bias in the media at large.
