yeah it's been interesting to see since and I and I learned this through watching
one of your videos that the reason why DeSantis waited till uh I guess like
late May to announce uh that he was running was because he had to wait for some kind of
uh like a some kind of a deal or policy in Florida that um right who knows that you're running you
have to resign the legislation he pushed the legislature to change the Florida resigned to run
law so that he could uh run for president and also keep his job as Governor because there is a law
called resign to run that said that if you were going to run for another office you would have to
resign like Byron Donald's had to resign from the Florida house when he ran for congress okay and
Ron DeSantis himself resigned from Congress to run for governor when he ran in 2018 so it really just
says a lot about a person when they're willing to act in such an authoritarian way like literally
changing the law just to benefit themselves and their own political aspirations this isn't
something that's really going to benefit other people it's just you know carve out so that Ron
DeSantis can basically live like a Welfare Queen [Laughter] he wants the Florida taxpayers to
pay for his lodging at the governor's mansion to pay for his security and his transportation and
his travel to pay for his child care for his three children but what we're gonna have a part-time
Governor we're gonna have an absentee Governor I mean the guy's like a Welfare Queen at this
point so what was the point of even running for re-election as Governor if you weren't going to
actually serve out your full term what would you say to people who like Rhonda Santos because of
how he handled covet and how he's handled Florida and how he's fought against Disney and I know I
think that it's overblown and over hyped I mean look I live in Florida and the fact of the matter
is is that the Disney situation is a disaster if anything you know Disney has trumped DeSantis
I wouldn't exactly call Rhonda stances war with Disney at Victory I mean there's been thousands of
jobs that have been lost in the State of Florida as a result of his war with Disney and now he's
being sued and he's using taxpayer money to fight this lawsuit which is really just an ego for the
governor so that he could have fodder right for this woke agenda for his presidential campaign
because everything about Ron DeSantis is about wokeness and the culture War as opposed to like
you know economic policy and foreign policy and immigration and you know I'm not saying that the
culture award doesn't matter but at the same time like what are you going to do for the economy what
are you going to do you with regards to foreign policy like these things matter more to Everyday
Americans than just you know what what Disney who like the types of causes that Disney World
is donating to right I wonder if yeah I wonder if his focus on fighting the woke is to kind of match
what Trump has been up against I feel like they're throwing a lawsuit after [ __ ] lawsuit at him to
trying to like just bog him down um and I feel like if you if you look at what's happening to
Trump like it's the establishment clearly going after him like this to me it's like oh they still
can't get over the fact that he ran and won and uh woke up so many people to to the to the mainstream
media and they're just well I mean I think back at him very phony right because all of this stuff
like this entire I guess you could say Persona that Ron DeSantis has created this facade that
he's presented to the State of Florida and really our entire country over these last few years
um has been an effort to try to mimic right Donald Trump's personality and his mannerisms all the way
down to like his hands uh his hand movements the way that he signs things there's videos
that show it it's like he's trying to be Donald Trump except it's not that he wants to be Donald
Trump to take his policies he wants to be Donald Trump to pretend that he's going to replicate his
policies and you know be the like the torchbearer for the America First agenda and then stab Maga
in the back because his policies are anything but America First and as somebody who lives in Florida
look I ran for congress in 2020 in Florida and we had lockdowns I couldn't even knock doors for most
of my campaign because in Palm Beach County where I was living you know they were threatening to
arrest people if they violated lockdown orders so I think that for other people that live in
blue States or people like in Jersey or New York or you know California when you look at Florida
it's like wow it's such a 180 right because of how drastic it was in California but we still
had lockdowns the governor was still a vaccine salesman he wants to try to rewrite history now
in his effort to you know run for president and challenge Donald Trump but um you know when you
actually look at his record and you look at the fact that a lot of his initiatives have been
struck down and they haven't really gone through for example right they said oh we're gonna block
um hormone uh transitioning therapy for children in the State of Florida Well everybody's like whoa
you know go rob the Santos and obviously I'm against gender transitioning hormones for minors
but it's a lie for Rhonda stances to say that you know it's illegal in the state of Florida now a
court just Struck it down so you know Ron DeSantis says one thing but then doesn't actually want to
address the follow-up or the follow through right like he did this with the big Tech legislation
where he said oh yeah you know it's now illegal in the state of Florida and for for candidates to
be censored and de-platformed by big Tech but then my campaign both of them were completely
censored and de-platformed by big Tech and he never said a word about it just like he's saying
now oh you know my digital Bill of Rights is going to hold these companies accountable but you know
where were you when this was actually happening right like anybody can say they're going to do
anything when they're running for office but when you're when you actually had the opportunity to do
it how come you didn't do it and you know it's because Ron DeSantis is like a democrat in the
sense that he enjoys weaponizing the agencies and the federal government not the federal government
but state government just like the federal government is weaponized against conservatives
I think that Ron DeSantis has this like very you know authoritarian mindset um and he is
like kind of like a dictator complex in a sense and he's known for being very vindictive and
like weaponizing state agencies against his own political opponents and like he just did this
recently with the Florida Republican legislature pretty much strong arming all of them saying
you're going to endorse me for my presidential run and if you don't we're not going to support
your legislative efforts and like he's not the one directly saying this right but he has his chief of
staff going around making threats to Republican lawmakers who feel like oh well I'm not going
to get the the funds that I need in the budget unless I support Ron DeSantis and you know that's
what dictators do that's what authoritarians do in these third world regimes and countries
um that really aren't too uh you know different from from our country these days and I just wish
that you know people would take time to do the research themselves instead of just listening
to what FOX News tells them because you know Fox is essentially the DeSantis News Network now you
have Rupert Murdoch who knows Fox and Wall Street Journal and New York Post and and you know they
just gave him a multi-million dollar book deal and you know your average person doesn't know that all
of these media entities are owned by the same person who has publicly stated that he wants to
work against President Donald Trump and you know invited Rhonda stances to his Ranch in California
where he said that they were going to dedicate all their resources and their media platforms
um from the Murdoch Empire to help Ron DeSantis get elected as president wow yeah and this is
a good comment from Larry DeSantis pissed off many Floridians here with his two-month World
Tour pretending he was president and that I guess that's he's referring to is his book tour
two months it's like seven months he's been he's been going on a tour since November when uh he won
re-election so this has been going on for almost like seven months now so you know look in November
the governor was you know out of state giving speeches and uh really he's not he's not here in
the State of Florida and the fact of the matter is is we're nearing hurricane season here in Florida
and we're going to need a governor that's actually going to be here to address any catastrophe or
damage that Floridians sustain from Hurricane Season and while DeSantis is busy pretending
to be some presidential you know wannabe Donald Trump candidate um the the state insurer of Last
Resort the the Citizens Insurance uh property insurance that millions of Floridians are now
um are now policyholders of they have gone insolvent which means that if there's a massive uh
environmental catastrophe like a hurricane or some kind of tropical storm that does a lot of damage
uh most Floridians who have this policy are not going to be able to have their claims fulfilled
and there's already a crisis in the State of Florida because over the last year over six
Maine Florida home insurance providers and auto insurance providers have gone completely insolvent
and you have a lot of Floridians now who don't have insurance and they're scrambling to find
insurance and the insurer of Last Resort through the state which is overseen by the governor has
no funds and what is the governor doing about it so I I think there's going to be like a massive
foreclosure crisis a massive wow crisis and you know I know this is heavy for usually the kind
of stuff you probably talk about on your show no this is good this is really good because I
feel like so many people are going oh like oh to Santa's it's just if you don't if you don't like
Trump's personality right but you still want to vote Republican out the baggage actually
no he's not Trump at all like you know that's the that's the image and this facade that I'm
talking about that the media has been trying to create for him over these last few years
um but it's all been it's all been done intentionally it's almost like he's some type of
Manchurian Candidate in the way that they've been like grooming him and now with the indictments
coming for president Trump you know it it's it's almost like this has all been orchestrated and you
see reports from over a year ago where you know there are reports that came out that show that
Ron DeSantis was waiting for Trump to be indicted because then he was going to you know come out
from the shadows and run for presidents and stab him in the back and that's exactly what's
happening all of these people should be standing by President Trump right now it doesn't matter if
you think he's too Brash it doesn't matter if you don't like his personality or you know you
think he's offensive or a mean or a bully the fact of the matter is is if the United States
government can get away with weaponizing their entire system law enforcement and and the doj
and our our whole justice system rather a system of Injustice okay and it's present current form
then what's to say they're not going to come for you and your family next if they can get away with
doing this to a sitting United States president and you know Elite the leading GOP Contender for
president and you know one of the most powerful people in the world then what's going to stop them
from coming after you and that's why president Trump always says um you know I'm I'm just
standing in between between you and them right because once he's gone then it's game over and
they can get away with anything no one's going to push back against what's happening to Trump
um geez this is quite the screen name here Jay's gaping butthole Laura is a no BS Mega lady like
Mrs Lake you won't get help from DeSantis Trump said day one digital Bill of Rights Trump 24.
noise true and now DeSantis is trying to come out and steal uh Trump's idea so you know everything
that DeSantis does it's a ripoff of what Donald Trump has done even his his uh his campaign
slogan oh the Great American comeback to sansa's 2024. well the Great American comeback was the
the name of President Trump's speech about our economy in 2020 so everything that Ron
DeSantis does is a rip-off from Donald Trump and it's very Sinister because he's tried a lot of
people thought a lot of people fell for it they said wow you know Ron DeSantis he could really
be president someday after Trump uh serves his second term yeah I think that's when I say he's
a Manchurian Candidate I think that's how the media intentionally wanted him to be portrayed
because look there were other states that handled uh that handled covid way better than Ron DeSantis
there were other states that were open before Florida there were other states North Dakota
was North Dakota like completely unscathed yeah and and uh there were a lot of states that that
that were open and had less restrictions at first right when Kobe first happened Florida had one of
the most Draconian lockdowns out of the entire country people want to forget this not only did
we have lockdowns but we had checkpoints in order to get into the state so when you were
driving from other states into Florida you had to be checked so they want to pretend like Florida
is some free state where woke goes to die where you know everybody's free and we have no medical
tyranny but there was once a point in time when you had to enter a checkpoint in order to get
into the State of Florida during covid that's crazy yeah I remember like because I live in New
York they would they were like shutting down and tired it was insane like entire towns it was uh
was really wild Matthew Hammond who should be Trump's VP I like anti-esg Vivek
oh Rama swanny God I don't know I have no opinion I like Carrie late honestly I think Carrie Lake
should be his VP I think she's a badass yeah we need someone who's no-nonsense who's going to be
loyal you know yeah Trump's biggest issue is like the Loyalty issue we need we need people who are
going to be loyal because as we saw in his first term look Trump's got the policies Trump's got
the Charisma Trump's got the energy but he's got an HR problem and I think that um I think that
the biggest issue is going to be whether or not he gets a better team this time around and then
people will say oh this is my favorite line right oh Trump had such bad hires how can we trust him
in a second term Well Ron DeSantis literally just hired everybody who went who worked for Trump
in his first term so if you didn't like all the hires that Trump had in his first term what makes
you think that they're going to be better working with Ron DeSantis so I mean it's just incredible
dishonesty coming from the DeSantis camp and I don't know for your everyday person that doesn't
follow this closely people who are normal who you know aren't total political junkies like me
um who actually have social lives and leave there until four in the morning online like reading
you know all the different political options you could have a social life Laura but you know like
sometimes I think I have to remind myself like hey you know you're not you're not really normal
in the sense that there's other people out there who are not paying as much attention because they
they are not as immersed in this as you are and so I find myself getting incredibly frustrated with
people but you know a lot of times people are busy they're married they have kids they're working two
jobs sometimes three jobs and they're just turning on the radio or the news to get the the debrief of
what they hear and they're just kind of believing and hoping for the best of what they're hearing
on TV or on the radio is true and um and it's not a lot of the time so I can understand why
a lot of people get duped into believing false information about candidates or believing that
people are you know it's that somebody somebody who they're not somebody that they're like falsely
presenting themselves as I I agree and I have to remember like right most people have I mean I I
was that person too with a nine to five until I got fired December of 21 from my day job I worked
in for a corporate Media company I wouldn't take the jab so I was like I guess I'm done I
guess I'm doing full-time commenting podcasting now which is like such a blessing and needed to
happen but I understand like yeah most people they're working they have kids they're married
they have maybe a sick elderly parent and you have like the bandwidth for information is so
small maybe they can donate 10 to figuring out what's going on in politics and that's
why with the mainstream media uh their role is was so damaging because there's so many people
who just think oh Trump like uh Mean Tweets and and all these lawsuits and oh God like uh just
but then you look at like legitimately what's going on with the Biden family and the and the
ridiculous corruption and like it just the fact that Hunter is a crackhead and everyone just seems
to be okay with it it's like not a big deal it's it's a that's what Trump really did for me was
wake me up to to fake news and uh just hearing him say it over and over again and then one day
it just clicked and then the pandemic so I had all this time to look into stuff and I was just
like yeah yeah yeah I mean the plan the pandemic in a sense even though it was awful it was kind
of a the Silver Lining or the blessing in disguise was the fact that so many people
were locked down they were able to consume more information and it made more people wake
up to what was happening in our country and it caused more people to start paying attention and
um you know I was sitting on an airplane yesterday and next to a lady who said
the same thing she's like I love Trump I could never admit it because I live in California and
you know I just I don't know I was never really political but after coven and when Gavin Newsom
locked the state down and his kids were going to all their private lessons and their private
schools and kids had to stay home I just started to start paying attention more and it's true like
how many people not supposed to be getting her hair cut yeah how many people were not involved
and then they finally woke up because they were just so outraged it's something that affected
everybody regardless of where you live in the world everybody was affected by covet so um I have
to remind myself of that sometimes because I just yeah it's not that they're willfully stupid or
or not curious or don't want to know the truth it's just like their bandwidth they have they just
don't have the time love you guys thank you for the chats thank you for the comments I will see
