00:01:30.220And that means not just Republican voters, it means Republican organizations in Pennsylvania
00:01:43.220and throughout the country need to be invested in this race. They need to devote resources to
00:01:49.220this race. Look, I come from what has been known as the most famous swing state in the country.
00:01:55.220Now, when I got elected Governor, we had 300,000 more Democrats than we did Republicans. Since
00:02:01.220I've been Governor, we've changed that. We now have 232,000 more Republicans than Democrats.
00:02:10.220So it may be the case, it may be the case that Pennsylvania is now the most important swing
00:02:16.220state in the country because we've gotten redder in Florida. But these are important races and we need
00:02:24.220everyone on board. And the same thing, you know, with the Senate race. I think people need to support
00:02:29.220Dr. Oz for the Senate. It's very important.
00:02:38.220Very important not to send a very hardened leftist to the Senate. But I'll tell you this. One thing about
00:02:43.220these Governor's races is, you know, as a Governor, you're not just electing some politician like you would in some of these other offices. And not that there's anything wrong with the
00:02:53.220other offices, but a Governor worth his salt is going to be somebody who's capable of being a leader. And there's really no substitute for that. You can hide in a Congress one of 435. The buck doesn't stop with you. You can vote. You don't necessarily have to always be in the spotlight if you don't want to. Well, when you're the Governor, the buck stops with you and you've got to be willing to lead and you've got to be willing to stand up for people in your state. And when you're the governor, the buck stops with you.
00:03:16.220The buck stops with you. And you've got to be willing to lead and you've got to be willing to stand up for people in your state. And when I got elected Governor, what I did was immediately say I am not doing any polling as Governor. I'm not going to lead based on polls. I'm going to lead based off conviction. I'm going to lead based off doing what's right.
00:03:38.220And if you think about it, I can take a poll of this room right now. But, you know, that doesn't really tell me what I need to know in any event. That just tells me some static analysis of how you may view a certain issue.
00:03:57.740What it doesn't tell me is if I'm willing to set out a vision, if I'm willing to execute on that vision and I deliver good results, then what are the results going to be?
00:04:07.760And the fact of the matter is if you lead and you lead with strength and courage and you deliver results, the people will be with you. And that's what we've shown in Florida.
00:04:16.440The other thing a governor can do that is different from some other offices, and this is what we've done in Florida, we didn't just sit idly by hoping that issues didn't come on our desk.
00:04:32.860We went on offense in the state of Florida. We made sure that we were getting in front of key issues and delivering victories for the state of Florida.
00:04:41.880And look, what's the result? What's the result? Just this last July, even with everything that Biden is throwing at us in terms of higher energy prices, inflation, all these things, Florida alone added over 70,000 private sector jobs in the month of July.
00:05:00.020We have more people. We have more people employed in the state of Florida than we did pre-COVID.
00:05:07.040And there's a lot of states that have not recovered back then. And our unemployment rate now is less than it was prior to the onset of COVID.
00:05:19.960And of course, we do all of that with no state income tax.
00:05:25.080But even with no state income tax, Florida just ended its most recent fiscal year with the largest budget surplus in the history of our state.
00:05:44.500Represented 20% of the budget was surplus.
00:05:48.220And none of that would have been possible had we allowed our state to descend into some type of Faucian dystopia where people's freedoms were curtailed and their livelihoods were destroyed.
00:06:04.060No, we saw how people in places like Pennsylvania were locking people down.
00:06:21.860We made sure that people's rights were protected, their jobs were preserved, small businesses could operate, and that every single kid in the state of Florida would be able to go and to be in school in person five days a week.
00:06:35.240And it was not popular to take those positions when we did.
00:06:39.000We had so much corporate media smearing the left going against us.
00:06:43.980Even some of these establishment Republicans were saying, oh, you can't do that because we were bucking Fauci.
00:06:51.280We were not following some of these bureaucrats who had no regard for your freedom, who had no regard for the struggles that people were going through due to their policies.
00:07:02.220And then what they said was, don't leave your house.
00:07:06.180But then when they wanted to go out and do the Floyd protests and the riots, then they said that was OK.
00:07:12.820So these people were not someone that you wanted to be listening to.
00:07:16.940You needed to follow the data yourself.
00:09:45.240Because we did that and because we made sure our state was free in 2021, Florida set a record for domestic tourism.
00:09:54.020Never have we seen anything like that in our state.
00:10:01.080We also fought back on the Biden administration and some big corporations when they were trying to impose employment vax mandates.
00:10:13.380In the state of Florida, we called a special session of the legislature to provide protections for all Floridians because our policy is very simple.
00:10:22.720No Floridian should have to choose between a job they need and a shot they don't want.
00:10:27.440And even as now, even the CDC is backhandedly acknowledging that the shots aren't preventing people from getting infected.
00:10:46.340There has never been a basis to mandate this forcibly on anybody.
00:10:50.840And yet they still cling to some of these outdated policies.
00:10:55.360Every single mandate in this country needs to be reversed today.
00:11:00.620And I think if someone's been forced to do this, if they have an adverse reaction, they should be able to sue and be able to get damages.
00:11:19.000So being the free state of Florida has caused a lot of people to want to come visit, live there.
00:11:28.860I'll tell you one of the things that has caused so many people to want to move into Florida over the last few years is that we are unabashedly a law and order state.
00:11:37.880We saw some of the worst rioting we've ever seen in this country two years ago, burning down cities like Minneapolis, seeing all kind of destruction in New York and these other places.
00:11:54.760Well, in Florida, I said that is not going to fly.
00:11:57.440We immediately called out the National Guard.
00:13:16.300And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:13:19.220That's why I'm proud to partner with Public SQ, the largest network of patriotic, freedom-loving businesses and consumers our nation has ever seen.
00:13:27.600Public SQ is the first app to connect freedom-loving Americans with their local community and the businesses that share their values.
00:13:34.900Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates, or a bank that can never cancel you for your political views, Public SQ is your guide.
00:13:48.260There's also interactive, sensor-free community groups where you can connect with other local members.
00:16:59.360He refuses to put up a wall at the southern border, but he's spending a half a million dollars to put up a wall around his beach house in Delaware.
00:17:08.980But what his policy does, it shows contempt for every single person in this room and everybody throughout our country.
00:17:21.940He doesn't give a damn that our communities are being ravaged by fentanyl.
00:17:26.300He doesn't give a damn that you have criminal aliens pouring into our country.
00:17:30.320He's just sitting back and letting it happen.
00:17:33.260Well, we need to make sure we're fighting back at the state level.
00:17:36.120You know, these places that consider themselves sanctuary jurisdictions like D.C. and New York, they don't like when the red states are sending illegal aliens to their communities.
00:18:21.900He's pretty much his whole career supported things like giving him most favored nation trade status, putting him in the WTO.
00:18:29.060They've taken so much industry from our country.
00:18:32.060And now is everything is made in China.
00:18:33.860When COVID hit, every single thing we needed for our hospitals was made in China.
00:18:38.660That is not good for our national security.
00:18:41.920And that's not the way you run a country.
00:18:44.160And so we need to be serious about combating the influence of the CCP here in our country.
00:18:50.140I can tell you in Florida, we've signed legislation banning things like Confucius Institutes from our universities.
00:18:57.180We've also been a leader in ensuring election integrity in the state of Florida.
00:19:11.920When I became governor, one of the first things I did was accept the resignation of Brenda Snipes, who was the supervisor of election down in Broward County.
00:19:22.060We removed the Palm Beach County supervisor of elections.
00:19:25.740And when COVID hit, we refused to allow any unconstitutional changes to election procedure.
00:19:37.260The result was, while it took states like Pennsylvania days and even weeks to count the ballots, Florida had all of its vote, 99% of its vote counted by midnight on election night.
00:20:13.600So since the 2020 election, I've signed legislation making ballot harvesting a felony.
00:20:19.480We've eliminated drop boxes in the state of Florida.
00:20:41.020We've strengthened voter ID requirements and maybe most importantly, we have banned Zuckerbucks in the state of Florida.
00:20:52.400We're not going to let hundreds of millions of dollars from big tech oligarchs be used to commandeer the machinery of our elections.
00:21:06.960It is corrupt as hell and it is wrong and it is now illegal in the state of Florida.
00:21:11.460And as important as those reforms were, they don't amount to much unless you actually enforce the law.
00:21:23.300And so this past legislative session I signed and it became live on just July 1st, we established the first of its kind election integrity unit in state government whose job is to prosecute voter fraud.
00:21:36.780Just yesterday, we were able to announce our first 20 prosecutions across the state six weeks after the office started and we're going to continue to do it.
00:21:54.040If you're voting illegally, we're going to hold you accountable.
00:21:57.500If you're double voting, we're going to hold you accountable.
00:22:01.500If you're ballot harvesting, we are going to hold you accountable.
00:22:06.780And you guys can have all that happen here in Pennsylvania if you elect Doug to the governorship, you can do it.
00:22:24.680So we're proud of what we've done on election integrity, but I'll tell you, there's maybe no issue that we've led more strongly on
00:22:34.200and drawing a big fat line in the sand to say that the people of Florida believe that the purpose of our school system should be to educate our kids, not to indoctrinate our kids.
00:22:45.620And to that end, we've done things like ban critical race theory in our K through 12 schools.
00:22:58.140We're not going to teach kids to hate our country or to hate each other.
00:24:03.360And so I've signed legislation in Florida establishing November 7th as a day to learn and remember about victims of communism
00:24:12.200and the 100 million people who were killed by communist regimes in the 20th century alone.
00:24:19.460Every school kid will get instruction in understanding the horrors of communism.
00:24:25.260Because, I mean, you know, we win the Cold War and people think it's gone, but you see it all around in different pockets and, you know, it just won't go away.
00:24:32.700So we need to be honest about what that means and how that has destroyed so many societies over the last 120 years.
00:24:40.440And so we are being honest about that and our kids are better off for it.
00:24:44.240We also believe that parents have a right to send their kids to elementary school without having woke gender ideology shoved down their throat.
00:24:57.960We have proven that we need to be prepared.
00:25:03.800We constantly see government overreach, attacks on our communication, an energy grid, worldwide conflict, natural disasters, and the never-ending assault on our security and privacy.
00:25:14.060Having reliable communications is essential.
00:25:17.180But don't get caught without reliable communication.
00:25:19.840And I'm here to tell you, your fragile cell phone simply won't cut it.
00:25:27.040That's why I've partnered with the Satellite Phone Store, so you can stay prepared and ensure your vital communication stays private.
00:25:33.900They're one of America's largest satellite telephone companies with thousands of happy, well-prepared customers.
00:25:40.100Right now, they have a special promotional offer when you go to sat123.com slash Bannon.

00:27:59.920But you don't have a right to force me or my citizens to subsidize your woke activism.
00:28:05.120And the fact of the matter is Disney, since the 1960s, had gotten more subsidies from Florida than any company in the history of our state.
00:28:18.840And maybe in the history of our country, when you think about what they've had, they've had their own government since the 1960s that they control.
00:28:26.560They've been exempt from laws, and they've gotten massive tax breaks.
00:28:30.580So we said, no, you're free to indulge in that type of views and ideology.
00:28:36.060But that's not consistent with our values in the state of Florida.
00:30:45.320And it's sad that we have to do it, but nevertheless, I think the reason why you see all this stuff is because this woke ideology is a really destructive mind virus.
00:30:56.600And what it's done is it is infecting different institutions in our society, you know, the medical establishment.
00:31:04.260That's why they're doing these sex changes on the minors, or they want to do it.
00:31:15.980And I think in Florida, and we need this to be true in Pennsylvania, around the country, we can't just stand idly by while woke ideology ravages every institution in our society.
00:31:32.300We must fight the woke in our schools.
00:31:35.420We must fight the woke in our businesses.
00:31:38.220We must fight the woke in government agencies.
00:31:41.020We can never, ever surrender to woke ideology.
00:31:45.800And I'll tell you this, the state of Florida is where woke goes to die.
00:31:52.280Now, states like Florida have really been the vanguard of protecting people from the poor policies of the Biden administration.
00:32:16.940And I think if you have a governor here working with your legislature, that'll be some of the best protection you can have, to have somebody like Doug Mastriano fighting back for you.
00:32:31.220And if you think about Biden, honestly, it's sad when you're watching some of this stuff.
00:32:39.560I mean, I just think back to some of the other presidents we have.
00:32:44.180You know, think about like John Kennedy.
00:32:46.080You think, ask not what your country can do for you.
