the second point, on the uaw, i am a master craftsman welder, a skilled person, i will never believe that from one end of that factory and assembly line to the other end of the assembly line, the car manufacturing process, there is "one" skilled labor from this end to that end. it doesn't take any skill to put a front seat in a car. none of my business on that. the only thing that should be my business is the value of me to go when i buy a car. hold on, the next thing -- host: you have major -- made your point. we will go to our next caller. caller: good morning, pedro. i will start with the first thing. i am a retired union electrician. that's through the family and my brother just retired from the union, and if everybody was union, you would not have to worry about the loaf of bread being 40%, let's start there. that's not why i called. there are too many points to start with. the first amendment, let's go with bothering women with their bodies, too much gun violence, too much fox. worried about -- instead of actually doing news, seeing that the other night on their television. as

it's not a traditional uaw -- uae, et cetera. >> neil: you have a couple thousand people to agree withat? >> that's about 59% of the 8,000 employees that could have voted, neil. so you have a big population, you have 40% that didn't vote. so here's -- depending on any objections that are filed, here's an important line that i read from one of the reports. union negotiations will still have to bargain with amazon. i have been around 50 years, neil. i bet you 2,654 employees that voted for this have no idea when you go to negotiate at the table, now with amazon, you will start at zero. whatever you had relative to wages, benefits, to your point, you're talking about $18s wages and perks and so forth. when you go the table, you start at zero. you have work rules to negotiate. the work rules certainly are a little restricted. we're in an era of automation and innovation. i've seen these distribution centers lately. there's more robotics than i saw 10-15 years ago. for some reason they feel they have the upper hand now because of the employment or the lack of being able to get people. now i

yeah,uawe and that's a good segy governor to what we want to cover next because just today t cbs news reported essentiallyly that things are too good in florida saying that florida is the least affordable placele to live p the united states and charlie crist just picked up on thiss to attack you. so i guess they'd prefer prefere to live d in a state where peope don't want to move there and there's a glutton glut in housing and you know, forng that reason prices stay low. buty this is the supply and demand issue iss not of a growing state. we've led the nation in net in migration since covid. and ifif you look at the states that performed poorly by most metrics they hemorrhage people. florida performed well across the economy. education, all these things and we've gained people. and so the demand to liveri in florida is more intense than it's ever been in the history of our state. t's urand that's just the realiy because i think people realize who your governor is and your state government policy hasve more impact on your daily life than even who the president of the united states is.
