Chapter 1: Who is Byron Donalds and what is his background?
My comms director, Daniel, in case I'm supposed to be like in a media hit or something and I'm running late, he'll call me and I'll be like, oh, shoot, Daniel's calling me. I'm missing something or President Trump.
so my phone is ringing i'm thinking dang daniel's calling me now like what's happening i look at the face of my watch and it says uh 40 it says i could see 47. that's what you got it saved us for him in my phone he was 45 and when he won it became 45 47. yeah so um you know if anybody saw all about the benjamins with mike epps and ice cube and he was singing the jingle on the lotto you know 45 47 so that's why i have ever saved that
And so I see 47 on my watch and I'm like, oh, shoot. So I look at my phone and I show it to my colleague and I go, yo, look, he goes, you better answer that. So it was the president. So I called, picked up, went into the corner of the room. And the whole everybody that was there is like, he's on the phone with the president. Everybody shuts up while I'm taking the call.
President goes, Byron, I did something big. I did big stuff. You're going to love it. You're going to like what I did. And I'm like, yes, sir. He told me what happened. You know, he told me about, you know, endorsing you to be governor. You're going to do great. You know, you're a real winner. I put out a great message. You know, he's like, you worked hard for me and I'm and I'm there for you.
And I just told him I appreciate it. I'm not going to let him down. And so I hang up the phone and everybody in the room is like, what the president want? And I go, the president just endorsed me to be governor of Florida. The whole room goes berserk. I mean, these are donors. It's like a fundraiser. These are donors and they're screaming and yelling and they're all excited.
So that's, that's kind of how, that's how I found out. I found out in the fundraiser.
So it was cool. Who do you think will be the other opponent? Will it be Casey DeSantis?
Man, I don't know. We'll see. You know, I think, look, She's got decisions to make. The governor's got decisions to make. I don't really know what they're going to do. As far as I'm concerned, I'm focused on me. You know, President Trump supports me. Rick Scott, our senator now, former governor, he supports me. Most of the congressional delegation supports me.
We're picking up support all through the state. We're doing a great job raising money. And I'm not just sitting back saying, oh, well, President Trump endorses me, so I'm going to chill at the beach in Naples or just hang out in D.C. and do my job as a member of Congress. We're going everywhere. I was just at a community lunch before I came here.

Chapter 2: What is Byron Donalds' stance on sanctuary cities?
That was crazy. Do you think there was a turning point in the campaign? Because I feel like he just outworked Kamala. I mean, he was doing like, he did every podcast possible, every big podcast. And then in addition, he'd do like two speaking events a day. He's doing like three, four things a day. Yeah, he outworked her.
Did you think there was like a point in the campaign where it was like, this is over?
In my mind, the campaign was really over when Biden debated in Atlanta. I was there that night, and that was... Wow.
But when Kamala got announced, when she first got announced, and after that first debate, a lot of people said Kamala won.
No, but I mean, when she came in, she was riding this fanfare of she's coming in to save the Democrat Party. I think I said once that... The way they treated Kamala Harris was as if she was a Hollywood starlet for a movie promotion. And every scene in the trailer on YouTube or on TV looks great. And she looks great. And oh my gosh, the script looks amazing. And look at the action.
And she took the red carpet. And everybody wants to take a picture of her. And everything is exciting. And then you go watch the movie, and the movie sucks. Mm-hmm.
that was the kamala harris campaign yeah and so i think with president trump to their when she first came in we saw the rise in the polls but what we all realized pretty quickly that it wasn't there was no substance there it was just a rise in the polls because there was something different to look at and she was not joe biden but the problem for her is she's kamala harris and she had nothing to say
And the little that she said was terrible. And so I think the decision the campaign made was just to be everywhere and constantly work was the right decision. Because at the end of the day, it looked like they were lazy. I think they were more entitled and lazy. And I think the truth is they couldn't really put her out there. We've been sitting here, what, 35, 40 minutes? I don't know.
Kamala Harris couldn't sit here with you for 35, 40 minutes. She could not do this.
