It's Friday, December 1st, 2023, and Fridays are like a box of chocolates on the AM update.

You never know what you're going to get.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis debated California Governor Gavin Newsom last night.

Here are a few of the highlights of that event.

And boy, howdy, did we not figure out last night why Donald Trump will not debate

Ron DeSantis. I figured DeSantis would come out of the gate more collegial, but from the get-go,

he took the gloves off. Here he is hitting Gavin Newsom for his own family moving out of California.

So I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to

Florida. And he was telling me that Florida is much better governed, safer, better budget,

lower taxes, all this stuff. And he's really happy with the quality of life. And then he

paused and he said, oh, by the way, I'm Gavin Newsom's father-in-law. So we do count Gavin's in-laws as some of the people that have fled

California and come to the state of Florida. DeSantis hit Newsom on school closures in 2020 and his

handling of COVID. That's very clear. One and a time. On a per capita age adjusted basis,

California and Florida, basically the same. Now, why is that important? Because Gavin Newsom did

huge damage to people

in California. He ruined livelihoods. We reopened the state very quickly. We saved thousands of jobs.

We saved hundreds of thousands of businesses. We had our kids in school. He had the kids locked out

out of school because of the teachers union.

That is having a generational impact. They don't want business to succeed. Is that what Disney's

saying? The Tampa Bay raised? Well, actually, yeah. I think that's an interesting point with Disney

because I had Disney open during COVID and we made them a fortune and we saved a lot of jobs.

You had Disney closed inexplicably for over a year.
