Florida's Republican governor. Ron DeSantis is apparently so, so confident that he is gonna win
reelection in the state of Florida this year, that he has decided he's gonna take part of the month
of August and he's gonna leave the state. He's not gonna be campaigning down here in Florida.
Instead, he is gonna travel to places like Arizona, New Mexico,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania to campaign for long shot. Trump backed Republican candidates. And yes,
I did say Trump backed candidates because all of the people that Ron DeSantis is gonna be traveling
the country, supporting are people that Donald Trump of course has endorsed. And this whole
little event was put forward by turning point USA, the group run by conservative Charlie Kirk
and turning point. Of course, they're, they're big Trump supporters. They don't wanna do anything to
Trump off. So obviously you gotta have DeSantis go out there and support the Trump
people, but turning points, uh, uh, involvement aside like to me that doesn't matter.
The Trump backed people that doesn't necessarily matter. What matters to me is the implication
of picking Ron DeSantis in the first place. Right? You could have picked any Republican. You could
have picked anybody from the Trump administration. You could have picked sitting lawmakers. It's
August. They're gonna be on recess most of the month anyway, but you went for Ron, who again
is facing reelection here in Florida. But you know, I don't think he seems too worried about it
based on the polling data. If I were him, I wouldn't be worried about it either.
That's an unfortunate reality down here in the red state of Florida, it is not a swing state. It's a
deep red state and people need to understand that. But this is a test for Ron. This is
I don't wanna call it his big debut because he is already traveled the country and done done some
events, mostly just small fundraisers though. This is putting him on the national stage, right? This
is him getting up at these rallies, which is what they will be. And we're gonna see how the people
react. We're gonna get actual live footage as to whether or not Ron DeSantis can hold the crowd,
whether or not Ron DeSantis can generate the same kind of enthusiasm that say Donald Trump does.
We're also gonna get a little bit of a taste as to how extreme Ron DeSantis is going to be
on the national stage, because see, that's the difference. Ron DeSantis of course has
passed some extreme legislation down here in the state of Florida. He's he's flirted a little bit
with Donald Trump's election claims, never coming out and saying that the election was
unfair necessarily, but he has, you know, done some things that would indicate he's
trying to play. K Trump, is he gonna go out there campaigning four election deniers and say 2020 was
Stolen? Or is he gonna play it safe and risk these people off? See, this is a big, big test for Ron
DeSantis. If he blows it, he's done. But if he performs well, if he gets a good enough reaction,
then you move to phase two, right? You don't get an immediate victory cuz you gotta go
into phase two phase two of course will be whether or not these candidates succeed.
And that is where the Trump backed part. I do think comes in because again, all the people
he's gonna be campaigning for in every one of these states are people. Trump has endorsed.
Lot of them not doing so well in the polls. So if DeSantis shows up and suddenly we see a flip in
those poll numbers, then it's gonna show that DeSantis, not Donald Trump might be the king
maker of the Republican party. It may show that DeSantis does have a broad enough appeal to get
even moderate Republicans to support crazy people. And if he can do that, that 2024 nomination is his
Trump will be done. And that's also a scary thought as much as we don't want Donald Trump
in office, Ron DeSantis, definitely a scarier prospect. And we're gonna find out by the end
of August, whether or not he's got it in him to be the new face of the Republican.
