Speaker 1: Many of you wrote to me in the last 24 hours with video clips from Ron DeSantis events.
And every single one of you wrote to me for the same reason you feel that these protesters that
are popping up at the Santas events are staged, that there's something about him that doesn't take
place. And then I got a video of a woman saying that she's in tears. Why are they always crying in
tears over how great DeSantis is, even though she was a Trump supporter for a while? We're going to
look at these clips. Now, I want to be crystal clear. I am not alleging that I know these are
staged protesters or staged people in the crowd. There is reason to wonder because, number one,
these protesters always lead to DeSantis saying the same thing about, we're going to protect kids
and we're going to not going to let you do whatever to kids. The former Trump supporter
person is weird because the Trump supporters don't really care about DeSantis. DeSantis is dying. His
campaign is crumbling. They fired a dozen staffers and we'll talk about it later. So the idea that
all of these Trump supporters are just so overcome with emotion about how great DeSantis is that they
feel the need to go into to tell them at events how great he is. None of it seems super genuine,
and it certainly could be staged and planted. And we know that campaigns sometimes do this.
Now we're going to look at the clips. One other quick little thing. Yesterday,
someone wrote me about Ron DeSantis. I don't know whether this was a typo or whether they
were joking around. And this is their new nickname for Ron. Ron, wrong for Ron DeSantis. They wrote
Ron DeSantis. And when I saw it, I just started laughing. I have no idea whether it was just
a typo or whether they want the guy to go by desanctis. It seems maybe misogynistic, so I
don't know that we're going to go with it. But I did have a little laugh to myself yesterday. All
right. So let's go to the video. Here is another one of these solo protesters. DeSantis always
yells at them with the same line about, we're going to protect kids, we're going to protect
kids. You tell me whether this feels authentic. Remember, there is a there's an actor strike right
now. So really, these should not be actors. Speaker 2: I have something to say to
him. Why don't you focus on spending more time with your granddaughter in
Arkansas? At least acknowledge you. Speaker 1: All right. So now the
protester is standing up behind us and the security is rushing
over. Speaker 2: Yes.
Yeah. Before you worry about our children.
And they shouldn't be worrying about our children either. We don't want you
indoctrinating our children. Leave our kids. Speaker 1: Alone. Okay. So he yells at the
protester to leave their kids alone. This is a very similar to the lone
protester last month in South Carolina. And again,
these it even Desantis's reaction seems so forced and staged. So I get it. We
don't know that that's what's going on. But it's interesting that so many of you felt that it was.
Unidentified: We're not going to let you impose an agenda on our kids.
Speaker 1: We're going to. Unidentified: Stand up for our
kids. We're going to make sure to do it right. That's what we're going to do.
Speaker 1: There you go. So whenever the lone protester stands up, DeSantis tells them,
We're not going to let you get our kids. We're not going to let you ruin our kids.
Here's another video. This is from the event yesterday. And here is where a woman that she
says she's been a hardcore Trump supporter, she stood up and said DeSantis is doing great.
And she's she's almost she's almost in tears. Listen to this. Tell me if this is authentic.
Speaker 3: From President Trump, comes from all the despair, all the things that he stands for
as served as our president of the United States and the media that can tell him.
But all the things I'm thinking more with my heart and my soul and my love for him
and for this country. But meanwhile, this is the most important vote that we're going to
have. And I have to think more with my mind and what it says to this country and that.
Speaker 1: She is overcome with emotion over her support for DeSantis, despite having voted
for Trump with her heart. She's now using her mind to vote for the sanctimonious.
Speaker 3: Excellent job. Unidentified: And I thought one
of those wild one way. Speaker 1: Really powerful.
Unidentified: And. In my view. Speaker 2: I appreciate what President
Trump did, how they treated him and things like Russia. Collusion was is so unfairly press and
and he was treated wrong and he was treated in ways that were unconstitutional. Right.
But here's the thing. The question for us now is what are we going to do about it? And we need to
end the weaponization of government. Speaker 1: All right. Anyway,
Ron. Okay. Very good. Speaker 2: I did everything.
Speaker 3: Right and they indicted me. Speaker 1: They indicted me.
I would love for some journalist to follow up with some of these folks after the fact and
actually figure out, like, what is their back story? Are they real? Are they they're doing
these staged different little things so everybody can judge it for themselves. I don't really know
what I think. Here's something that is important to keep in mind. For many of us because of the
way we engage in politics. Many of us don't idolize these elected officials. They're just
people. And I've met so many of them and sat around with them. They are really just people,
and most of them are not insanely impressive. You know, people like Barack Obama are sort of
different in that sense. You incredibly impressive from in person in a way that is different. Most of
that you just meet. You're like, oh, well, that's kind of kind of weird in a lot of ways. Anyway,
for a lot of us, it's hard to imagine being overcome with emotion in this way
just because you're like, Oh, I voted for Trump, but the Santos was so inspiring. And we're like,
Now it's just like, okay, are you is Biden better than Trump? Okay, I'll vote for Biden and then
I'll go on with my life. And I don't idolize the guy. So we are at our nature less likely to find
this sort of thing authentic. And so it feels staged. But let's be open to the possibility that
for people who are much more cultist in nature, they really may be overcome with emotion in this
way. That and maybe it is legitimate. I don't know. I will leave it for you to judge. We're
going to take the quickest of quick breaks. We reached 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube. We're
pushing to 1.9 to eventually burst through the door. The glass ceiling of 2 million.
Make sure you're subscribed on YouTube. We're going to take a quick break and then the show
continues. You know, as much as I get messages from haters that, Oh, you must be funded by George
Soros or whatever the case may be, we actually aren't. And many right wing media outlets like the
David Pakman Show are funded by Millionaire and Millionaire and even billionaire right wingers.
We don't have that. The left is in a different situation. We actually depend directly on
your support. We try to make that support an appealing thing. So we do an extra show every
day for our paid members. We offer a commercial free audio and video stream of the show. We have
a soundboard like the one I have here. Speaker 2: We're doing a class action
lawsuit against all machines. Speaker 1: We have a sound board
available on the member website for our members and so many other great
things. I invite you to sign up and support the work we do,
especially as we're really entering an election period that is going to be particularly fraught
and I would argue the most important in a very long time. Sign up it joined Pacman dot com. It
really is the most direct, explosive and exciting way to support what we do. And you know what? If
you don't like this show that much but there's other left wing shows you like,
support them. The point is let's understand the way the right funds, independent media
and the way that the left doesn't fund it. And that explains why we depend on
support from people like you. So we really do everything we can to make membership as easy
and as great an experience as possible and join back. Mint.com is the place to sign up.
