cover of his cartoonish wa against an imaginary enemy because the woke represents a war on truth, we have no other recourse but to wage a war on woke. we fight the woke in the schools, we fight the woke i the legislator, we fight the woke in the corporations we will never, ever surrende to the woke mob, florida i where woke goes to die i am sorry i know he is not trying to b funny, but he sounds ridiculous, okay first of all, that speech, w fight them here, we fight them there, that is him imitating a famous speech by winston churchill fighting about fighting the nazi s in world war ii your campaign against bud light, not quite the same thing the big reason the desantis ca do all of this is because he has all of these majorities in both houses and stat legislator, right?
no, - he couldn t say hello t anyone i mean, he doesn t have social skills i think that they ve put a bubble around him, s everything is staged now that he is in the public eye, people are realizing that there is nothing there i think the question on florida politics statewide i going to be tested in the 24 race with rick scott i think ron desantis deserve credit for a 20-point win. but there are variables ther that we do not know that wil be tested when it comes to ric scott, the one point winner in his past races here is what concerns me mos about ron desantis and his politics, where he i completely disciplined and skilled to use hockey terms. he knows how to skate to where the puck is going. i m afraid the puck is going t a very xenophobic, racist spot in american culture. and ron desantis is chasin that, and he s being rewarded. particularly, i think the thing that he has innovate here is using state power to punish and pursue cultural
to you as part of what has happened in terms of the big florida win in the midterms? i think you would have to agree with the basic premise that they were going to vote that way no matter where the came from. i don t think that is a case, think what you are getting it a combination of a couple of things that you are hearin from david which is he is in a very hermetically protecte environment. it transcends not a supe majority gop legislator in tallahassee, he has stacke florida courts it is getting approved judicially as well does that translate nationally when you are getting pushe back and challenges? i don t think it does. but i don t think that these voters came from california, new york, and other states t florida to make sure that they voted for somebody like ro desantis this has been reall striking to me, that chris christie, we go back to anothe future nominee, it was ver similar hype, chris christie

fights so there is this weird thing i politics, they have a lot of political power, but they feel they have no cultural power. the solution, the desantis solution is use the politica power to take over the state and then you state power t screw those people who hav cultural power that is why it is being called a slate of hate everything that he s advancing is a slate of hate when he tries to catch it unde this concept of a quote, american revival but a revival to what? older, white, xenophobic, hype conservative anti everything policies that s what he s trying to advance here can i ask you one question? i want to talk a bit about trump and his failure to g after him. i don t know the politics of florida and the disney stuff that strikes me as pretty ou there, and a littl embarrassing you re having a big fight with disney, you tried to screw the but then they outwitted you, now you are ticked off of th outwitted uso know you doubling down, does that pla well here? no, and it is fu
