ideological agenda, to foment political activism and advance quote/unquote social justice. miles, i mean, it s interesting. apparently also in the speech, desantis talked about what he called the woke mind virus infecting the left and other institutions. he s running with this as an issue heading into the 2024 campaign. he hasn t announced whether he s going to run for the presidency. but following up on trump s speech last night, it really does sound like he s test driving some themes. yeah, i mean, look, i think the worst-kept secret out there in the presidential race, the early presidential race, jim, that ron desantis is looking to run for office. i think it s very likely we see him announce in the next few months. what s most striking to me when i see him speak on the trail is really the trumpification of his rhetoric. when i worked with desantis when he was a member of the house and i was a staffer, he was a very different guy back then. a much more moderate guy, moderate in
schlapp, like dave boss ty and the whole rest of the crew, it s meaningless. it doesn t tell you anything. and the fact that he won the straw poll like, he s the only guy at the bingo parlor and he wins. it doesn t mean anything. got it. the speech last night, michael, you ve heard some of this rhetoric before, but it does seem to be ratcheted up. he s dubbing himself the candidate of retribution. that s what he said last night. what does that say to you? it says that jim, you and i could have a lot of problems, if, in fact, this lunatic ends up becoming president again, which i m still maintain i don t even think that donald is going to get the nomination. i know everybody says, no, no, no, he has such a strong hold over like 28% of the republican party. what we re seeing right now is donald trump s popularity, believe it or not, it s decreasing on a steady basis. and there s more of these dooim

the brand loyalty is disappearing. we have people who are making fewer trips. this is a place where multiple inflation pressures can be involved. it is not just going to the grocery store, it is getting here. people are driving here. gas prices are off of all-time record highs. but they are seeing is that customers are making fewer trips. they are buying fewer items. this is where a lot of pressures are converging across the board back to you. . we have a representative debbie who is joining us next. we are going to get her reaction to trump s speech last night. we are looking at the man who became the most anti-backs governor in the country. ron desantis refuses to place a order of covid-19 vaccines for young kids. he claims to be totally against it. how many children in florida will suffer as a consequence. this is coming up later in the hour. hour stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn t find my way out of it.
