11:05 pm
governors that have very different models. let's talk about it generally. >> our model you can see out on broadway. it's open. our businesses are open. people are going into restaurants and bars. there are not any masks. this pandemic has been quite a distraction for all of america for sure to say the least. but the health crisis is over. the emergency is over. we have fully opened up and we are moving our state forward. the reason is because we follow the science. the left likes to say follow the science until they don't. >> sean: with the vaccination joe outdoors walking into jimmy carter's house with a?mask on and taking it off in front of the old people. that was brilliant.
11:06 pm
>> you can't say follow the science and keep kids out of school were all of the and wear a mask after you are vaccinated. they can't put covid patients back in nursing homes home if you follow the science. >> sean: thank you. none of you did that. >> [applauding]. thank you for having some sense, amazing. >> sean: governor, south dakota never shut down? >> never. we did not close a singe business ever. we didn't even define an essential business.nt according to the south dakota constitution, the u.s. constitution, i didn't believe i had the authority to tell their business was not essential.heas i told people i would trust them and i would let them use personal responsibility to take care of their families and keep their doors and provide for their employees and customers. the people appreciated it. we never mandated masks and we
11:07 pm
have the fastest growing gdp in the fourth quarter. at 9.9% in the country and unemployment is 2.8%. we have the least amount of jobs lost and wages lost from any employee in the country. what we did is use conservative principles that we don't talk about all the time. we talked about them for year. we did them. that is the story that we need to tell about 2020. leadership has consequences. you look at democrat and republican states. they are growing and thriving what all of these leader dis. -- did. how it works for the american people. we talk about statistics and facts.ta but those stories will be powerful when we change the majority in washington, d.c. and change who is in the white house. >> sean: early on you said i trust the people of my state and i believe in them. it paid s off well for you. governor ron desantis, so funny.
11:08 pm
you had a row with your buddy andrew cuomo in new york. i am looking at these other states, kids are still not in school. florida schools have been open since august. how is it possible they are watching you do this it successfully and they still don't learn from it? >> well, it's probably the biggest mistake, strategy is locking these kids out of school. they are not following science. this is politics. ideology, and quite frankly it is a disgrace. i was in baker county, florida. they celebratedun the 108th dayf being open. they finished the full school year today from the beginning. every single parent from the beginning had the right to send their kid to school in person.heir i think there are a lot of other policies that mattered. we prevented covid patients from being sent to nursing homes.
11:09 pm
i think that mattered. but i can tell you locking kids out of school for over a year, that's going to have ramifications for our country and those states. it won't be days, weeks, months. it will be years and some kids won't have a?future as a result of this bad policy.su >> sean: the first interview we did, you told me that you mobilized every single state agency if florida to protect the elderly, the older population in your state which is significant. >> yes, the results are 40 states have higher percapita mortality for age 65 and up compared to florida. we are at the top seniors. we prioritize our seniors for vaccinations. the cdc said do political considerations. i said no way. you are 65 and up, we are getting you the vaccine. i think we have done 4 million seniors. >> sean: and places were free of charge to take care of their
11:10 pm
community. >> and you know what, sean, that would not have happened had president trump had not said come up with this vaccine. if biden was president this would take 4 years. to be able to develop these vaccines. we started vaccinatinging seniors in december. those were lives saved. as a result of the presidential leadership. >> sean: president biden and warp speed, they are direct opposites. >> [laughing]. i'm just saying. by the way, the governors won't be responsible for anything i say as a talk show host. a disclaimer. senator, unrelenting. you know, you have a state model. live free or die. >> this was a title of a great book that came out before the
11:11 pm
election. >> i read it cover to cover. >> sean: thank you. in all seriousness, you made a lot of the same choices that these governors made. the mistakes were made in newov york and new jersey and peninsula and michigan and california. how is it they got everything so wrong and nobody got it perfect because it was imperfect. >> we were writing the playbook. based on the dynamics and based on what we were seeing. in new england we have all of these states that are tight together. we are like counties. in florida almost. we had to work together as governors. for the most part. we had to contend with new york and boston was in tough shape. charlie baker was trying to do the best he could with the death rate in boston. we were in the middle. live free or die state, we led the charge on the flexibility and the opportunity edand now the economy.
11:12 pm
as the governor points out, 2.8%. i think we have 2.8%. >> [laughing]. >> every governor had to write the playbook. it was about balance. you had to earn public trust in the crisis early on. do you that with transparency and communication. when you do that and have earned that public trust coming out of it, they trust you to make the right decisions. >> sean: i didn't notice of you writing any books talking about how great leaders you were and making $5 million. just saying. by the way they want me out of new york. , just so you know. this matters. though. if you are going to be a leader the decisionss you make for the people in your state under these circumstances are hard. governor, i remember in iowa, there was a?moment, a?meat packing facility and the same thing in south dakota.
11:13 pm
i watched w how you handled tha. it was spectacular. you went right in. full court press and surrounded the area. tell us about it. >> my farmers and producers produced over 10% of the nation's foody supplies. it was imperative to keep our food processing plants open and grocery stores full. and meet on the table for families all across the country. we were able to go in and does surveillance testing and we were able to not only keep the processing plants open, but we could ensure the employees they were working in a?safe environment.re not only did we provide the ppe but we were able to test those positive who were quarantined and and we kept our processing plants up and going. cannot back up hog producers. we were looking at horrific numbers because processing plants were impacted from covid. we made testing available.
11:14 pm
we were able to implement a really robust data program that allowed to us break down it by zip code and identify the positive cases and act. accordingly. >> sean: when new york was at it worst, i said on radio and tv if the manufacturers, the medical manufacturers and food suppliers, if the packers didn't pack and the truckers didn't truck, new york would have died. >> that's right. >> you were literally a lifeline for people in significant trouble. >> and we were able to do it in a?responsible manner. we kept the economy open. all of us were able to do. that we are reaping the benefits today. we are coming back stronger than ever. the number 1 state for opportunity isre iowa. second best is recovery from
11:15 pm
covid. >> sean: isn't this wonderful? >> we all have our statistics, right? >>at sean: compared to any democrats it's much better. governor doocy. arizona similarly, a large population older people. you had certain challenges throughout the pandemic. you were able to overcome it. how? >> we focused on the vulnerable right from the beginning. we knew that was the older folks. when governor lee said follow the science, it was 65 years and older and people with underlying health conditions. of this conference call that we would hold as governors, we came prioritized lives and livelihoods and errored on the side of limited government. it was going to be a light touch. we were going to listen and we would trust our citizens. believe arizonans have common
11:16 pm
sense. it was a tough year. there is no winner in the covid year but you want to do the right thing to come out of it healthier and stronger. on the other side. that's where arizona is. leading the country in personal income growth. if you don't like the dry heat check out flagstaff, arizona. or the white mountains. >> that is actually a good point. i was there one summer and i walked out and said i can't breathe.e. it was really rough. so all of you have the problem that people from new york, new jersey and california and michigan, they are leaving their statess and going to your states. florida has seen a huge impact migration out of the blue states. of now, my only fear for all of you is that they may bring their liberal policies with them. >> so what is interesting with
11:17 pm
florida. the media at the beginning said florida was bad. they wanted to damage trump and me. so they just kept saying it was bad even though literally last april they were saying florida is doing worse than new york. w new york was 10 times worse. the people that buy those phoney narratives from the media, they probably are not coming to florida. most people see through it and think like us. i think these people are coming. they are registering as republicans and i have come across a lot of people who were democrats and lockdowns turned them into republicans. because they said i cannot fathom, it was a democrat because of education but they said i am in california and they are locking my kids out of school. i comey to florida they are in school and people are free and happy. i think process caused people to reevaluate prior commitments. if you have a political party that puts the interest of teacher's unions over kids accessing an education, that

[applause] >> sean: well said. governor noem, i'm taking great note the ads you were running said come on to south dakota. we openly welcome you and specifically you did the same thing with law enforcement.y of we will get to that in a little bit. but you are saying, this is an opportunity for the oustate of south dakota to grow. you are enticing people to come. >> yes.ic i ran for governor on the fact that i was going to bring the next big industry to the state and grow the state. we wanted it to be a place where our kids got out of school and wanted to raise their families there. surrounded by the people they love. what was interesting is i ran on south dakota being an example to the nation. what happened during this pandemic, it allowed us to
11:19 pm
tell our story. thousands are moving to our state and they want to live somewhere where the government respects them and somewhere where theyey can be free. south dakota was not on their radar a year ago to move to, but it is now. they wanted to live to have a quality of life and be respected. we did one week of a?national advertising campaign to law enforcement officers and said if you want to live somewhere where you are supported and peopleo uprespect you and we will help u take care of your families, come to south dakota. in that one week, we had the hundreds applications from 41 different states of law enforcement officers saying i want to livenf there. they respect law enforcement and they will appreciate my service. >> sean: and you gave an incentive. of you actually gave a bonus to everybody. tennessee, i love nashville because i live 90 miles south of i 65 when i was

in huntsville, alabama. i see the growth. the property prices soaring want opportunities are soaring. music city. right usa. , >> cranes out there everywhere.. a lot happening. >> sean: it's florida, texas and the south. i don't want to single them all out here. these states are all growing and benefiting. what the key component, freedom, low taxes, a?nomination? -- a combination? >> i think people across the country are looking around unsatisfied in many states with life in particular. life in the last year. they have been looking for a long time, but suddenly the differences between our states and thosees blue states are sta. their kids have been out of school for a year. in tennessee all of kids are in school.
11:21 pm
in fact, we have a strong school --y >> sean: are they wearing masks? >> they are not. in a couple of districts, the law allows districts to make they are. that decision. i don't think any kid ought to wear a mask. if you follow the science you don't have kids wearing masks when kids don't get sick from covid-19. that's science. that is what we ought to be doing, but school choices in states like our, parents get to choose. tennessee is the third lowest taxx per capita state. in the country. we announced 2 major moves companies moving from california and michigan to put their locations in this state. our regulation in this state is really different than in these states that increased regulations. our taxes were reduced. we cut taxes. this year. those states?-- >> sean: wait a minute. i love joe said you can't take money and cut taxes..
11:22 pm
really? they had to pull back on that, but really? >> because we offer tax cuts to our citizens. >> [laughing]. >> there is a combination -- >> sean: this is like the chamber of commerce. >> it is. but i am describing a lot of republicans. >> sean: i agree with you. >> there are a lot of republicans right here who cut taxes and have lower regulation who have choices for parents, who have a business environment that is attractive to business. that's why every one of these states and mine, u-haul measure trucks going in that don't go out and tennessee is number 1. we all have our statistics. there is a stark difference in a this country that has surfaced that we all in america see now. that is why migration. >> sean: we have to take in california if you rented a u-haul to go to taxes, you pay
