AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Let's talk about the song “Sweet Florida." The Van Zant brothers, you see on the screen, they wrote this song. And we all were shocked when we saw the video. We didn't know the governor was going to be in it. Let's play a little bit of the song for our audience.

The press don't like him, but it sure does get my business/ He stands up for what he believes/ So don't come down here trying to change things/ We're doing all right in the sunshine state/ Stay out of our business, leave our gov. alone/ Down in sweet Florida/ Our governor is red, white, and blue/ Down in sweet Florida/ He's shooting us straight and telling us the truth/ Yeah, that's right.
