Welcome back everyone well we are not the only special gets in Florida this week the GOP candidates are on their way here to why because we have a debate.

A straw poll and a C pac meeting -- right governor -- of Florida joins me now and he's gonna make a big prediction about the presidency while the governor is gonna go out on a limb.

-- perceive it in 1979.

Reagan won the straw poll was president next president in 987.

HW bush did.

And He was an ex president -- 95.

Dole did one straw poll and He won the nomination.

So I believe whoever wins this straw poll on Saturday will be either Republican nominee and I believe the Republican nominee will be the next president.

But the interesting thing is is that all of the candidates the eight of them they're not all necessarily participating.

In the straw poll what do you make -- -- -- they're gonna be here Thursday night for your debate.

They're going to be here Friday for -- -- and so some I'm gonna give speeches on Saturday but they're all going to be on the ballot so they're all participate.

So this is that this is very significant I believe whoever wins this will be the next president of United States so the people who don't necessarily -- all -- on the list but the people who don't.

Advocates the fact that there and -- colts they may be a lot lower expectation at a morning ballad that's an expectation game anyway that's a good -- -- -- they don't win they didn't really try.

But I think I really believe this is going to be whoever wins this and they're going to be the next president.

They're going to be the ones and the jobs -- -- entering our country around that's we've got to do let's talk about the importance of Florida in general.

And I know you're making a link between -- straw -- and who becomes president but Florida has been such He stays in the past and it seems even more important now how to use it.

You have to win Florida.

You cannot win the presidency if you don't win Florida this is you we have almost nineteen million people it's a diverse state we've got every.

Demographic group in the country it's that you'll be the first big primary.

All the primaries -- will be -- of us will be smaller in total than we are.

So you've got to win for you gotta get our delegates I will probably be fifth India in the primaries.

So it's you have to win you have to win in Florida this is going to be unique and -- that we have we'll have over 3000 delegates here on Saturday.

And they're going to be there in the Republican activists they're going to be so you've got to participate in this you got to win it.

-- have you likes being governor I know that you you came at politics from a different point of view.

-- business -- And you've done some very bold changes in the states when I found -- they also haven't been that popular but I know you believe -- -- as a hobby like well.

Which I've lived the American -- or schooling and public housing night -- -- to do I've been in business all my life hands.

I was fortunate in business so this my first race I ran ran last year -- went on -- -- platform.

And is working.

-- cut taxes we cut regulation we balance our budget no -- yet and second to Texas this year and job creation 87000.

Private sector job so -- -- eight months.

So doing these things they do work.

I hope hope the federal level only in the doing the same thing that this is the best if you like people.

You can have a better job and that's because you have the chance impacted education.

Their jobs at the end -- just the cost of living their attitude about life sounds a great job at -- urban villages yeah.
