It's official! Ron DeSantis is running for President of the United States, and we're here to talk about it. Plus, Elon Musk is getting roasted for the worst presidential announcement in history. And we're joined by Tyler Boyer of Turning Point Action and Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes to discuss it all.
00:00:32.000And in a Twitter space, uh, I- we didn't actually get to hear first, because the Twitter space crashed, I think, several times.
00:00:39.000And it dropped down from, like, 700,000 people down to about, like, 98, and then it was around, like, 100 and some-odd thousand, I think, when he formally announced that he was running.

00:03:13.000Alright, here's the official story from the Daily Mail.
00:03:16.000Biggest fail in campaign launches in history.
00:03:20.000Ron DeSantis is mocked for shambolic Twitter room presidential announcement with Elon Musk that crashes five times and leaves users bamboozled.
00:03:28.000Yeah, it was around six o'clock, a few minutes before six, I get that notification because Elon is about to start this Twitter space.
00:05:07.000These are technical problems that should have been sorted out long ahead of time.
00:05:11.000It's kind of perplexing whenever you see a massive campaign that's well-funded and has a lot of backing behind it fail at something so basic.
00:06:07.000Then it got so much attention that it crashed.
00:06:09.000It's a lot of people, man, don't get me wrong.
00:06:11.000I think that it would have been a good thing had it gone properly.
00:06:16.000I think that the fact that DeSantis has totally been ignoring the legacy media, I think that's a good thing.
00:06:26.000I also think that it's good because it kind of puts the legacy media on notice.
00:06:31.000Obviously when you've got, you know, Organizations like Vanity Fair running that headline they did where they say that they should have brought David Duke or whatever.
00:06:52.000So for conservatives to go to them and even present an opportunity for them to cover is almost silly, because you know they're gonna say, oh, well, you're just a racist Nazi, huh?
00:07:59.000Well, I mean, there they're taking, you know, they're not just taking a swing at DeSantis, they're taking a swing at Musk because of the Twitter thing and the whole rocket crashing, you know, making the link to SpaceX and stuff, you know.
00:08:09.000Well, you brought up something interesting.
00:08:10.000I think it might have screwed up everything if it was Elon's account that screwed everything up and it switched over to David Sachs.
00:08:27.000When it first launched, Elon was the host.
00:08:30.000Then I think Sax joined, and they both had speaking privileges.
00:08:35.000And one of the technical problems was that while Sax was speaking, Elon unmuted his phone, and they're sitting next to each other, so you start hearing a feedback loop.
00:10:10.000But I do feel like we got news out of the fact that they kind of screwed up the launch and they lost the majority of the audience that was ready for this announcement.
00:10:50.000Could you imagine if Elon abruptly launched to space and then said, Ron DeSantis is making a big announcement?
00:10:56.000That would have crashed all of Twitter way faster than this would have.
00:10:59.000So maybe they're trying to avoid that.
00:11:02.000Even in that regard, DeSantis really screwed this one up, his campaign.
00:11:08.000Because they could've gone on Rumble, and they could've done it with Dan Bongino, and that would've held up just fine.
00:11:13.000But he was like, ooh, Elon Musk, he's big, we're gonna go for this.
00:11:15.000If he abruptly appeared on a livestream with Dan Bongino, And Dan was like, I'm being joined by Ron.
00:11:21.000I don't know if Dan would want to do that because he's more of a Trump guy anyway.
00:11:24.000But if Ron did a show, any live stream, and they tweeted out, Ron DeSantis is here and he's about to make an announcement, you'd get 2 million live viewers.
00:11:32.000Instead, they were like, let's announce it, announce exactly what we're gonna announce, and then have it crash.
00:12:30.000Yeah, I mean, do you think it was just an effort to associate himself with Elon because Elon is not necessarily on the right or left but the radical left really hates him and the establishment is trying to fight him or vice versa?
00:14:25.000What they'll also do is, you know, they will forward a narrative, that narrative will be completely disproven, and then they'll just jump to something else, or sometimes they'll jump to a different narrative, which is completely contradictory to what they were stating their goals are when representing the other narrative.
00:14:40.000So, The media will take advantage of the American people having this short attention span and not considering how current statements line up against past statements, and then they'll laugh at Trump for doing the exact same thing.
00:17:37.000I'm proud to be a Navy veteran, an Iraq veteran, and I revere our services.
00:17:42.000But when revered institutions like those in our military are more concerned with matters not central to the mission, whether it's global warming or gender ideology and pronouns, Morale declines and recruiting suffers.
00:17:55.000You need to eliminate these distractions and we need to get focused on the core mission.
00:17:59.000We also cannot have true constitutional government if the most significant issues are decided by the whims of unelected bureaucrats rather than the people's elected representatives.
00:18:09.000Re-establishing integrity in our institutions means we must reinvigorate our constitutional system by returning the government to its rightful owners It's still going.
00:18:22.000Oh my gosh, it's only been two minutes and fifty seconds?
00:18:23.000come on without representation truth needs to be our foundation oh my gosh
00:18:29.000it's only been two minutes and seconds you and in Florida we prove we chose
00:18:34.000facts over fear run this nation over indoctrination law and order over
00:18:39.000rioting and disorder we the words are great when right The words are great.
00:21:46.000And so they knew it fell to our country, the United States of America, to determine whether people could really govern themselves.
00:21:52.000Could we have a society based on the idea that our rights are God-given, not government-granted, and that society functions based on the rule of law, not the rule of individual men?
00:22:01.000And when Dr. Benjamin Franklin walked out of that convention, he was asked, did you deliver a republic or a monarchy?
00:22:08.000He said, a republic if you can keep it.
00:22:11.000They knew freedom didn't run on autopilot.
00:23:36.000But I'll be honest, I was literally bored to tears.
00:23:38.000I mean, it's remarkable to me that someone who said so many things that were so true, that would have gotten a standing ovation from any group of conservatives who are outside of the establishment, where they just delivered with a little bit More energy could be so boring when addressed in such a plain, monotone way.
00:23:56.000I think that, you're right, he needs media training.
00:23:58.000Again, I'm not trying to be harsh on the guy.
00:24:01.000There's a lot about DeSantis which is really, really great.
00:26:20.000I think I mentioned this before the show, but I think DeSantis needs to be able to announce that he's running for president with at least the same amount of energy that Joe Biden announced he had hairy legs with.
00:26:38.000You're super weird, you're very creepy, but I do believe your legs are hairy!
00:26:42.000Okay, there's some level of enthusiasm you need, and part of the reason that this is So difficult for people is because DeSantis and Trump, even though they're rivals, they've been associated with each other in many ways, right?
00:26:56.000The establishment has smeared DeSantis in somewhat similar ways to the ways they smeared Trump.
00:27:02.000Before they started running against each other, their bases were similar.
00:27:05.000But the thing you got to remember is Trump was an outsider.
00:27:09.000DeSantis is a politician, even though he's not in line with the establishment on many of the things that They want him to be in line with them on.
00:27:16.000He's still a politician and he has that boring political way of speaking and I would go as far as to say it's actually worse for him than it is a lot of other politicians.
00:27:30.000So part of it is we have this expectation sent by Trump that we should have a leader who's really going to be charismatic and energetic.
00:27:37.000And also the fact that DeSantis is even more boring than most other politicians are when he speaks, even though I like what the guy does, even though he's very much impressed me.
00:27:47.000I mean, one of the things he said earlier on, quite a long time ago, is that he didn't want to be in a political foxhole with anyone who wasn't pro-life.
00:28:36.000Yeah, good old Joe has a lot of big feelings.
00:28:38.000Running big events, we run some of the biggest events at Turning Point, and shout out, we just announced that Trump's going to be speaking at our big action conference on July 15th and 16th at West Palm Beach.
00:29:06.000So they're showing this video of him solo in front of a flag, and they're on Twitter spaces,
00:29:12.000and he came in cold after a technical difficulty.
00:29:15.000Why didn't they have a whole program where it was like, warm-up speakers, get the crowd hyped, add to the... They should have built the thing up to be hundreds of thousands of followers.
00:30:51.000I'm actually... but this is sort of what I'm saying, right?
00:30:55.000It's remarkable to me when something with so much money and power behind it is done so poorly.
00:31:00.000I mean, these are really basic things.
00:31:02.000You don't have to be an expert political analyst to know that those things would have helped him.
00:31:07.000And not just that they would have helped him, but that they're kind of bare necessities.
00:31:11.000I just, I would've thought they would've at least had some kind of general media training, and what gets me is, that was their finished product.
00:31:19.000That was them saying, we got it, did we get it?
00:31:24.000Yeah, like when we watch these Biden videos, and they're jump cutting like crazy, because you know the dude is completely incapable of speaking at this point.
00:31:32.000You watch that, and I'm just thinking to myself, they rapped, they went through the edit and said, guys, this is it.
00:31:40.000They could have called him back in and said, hey, Ron, we really need to have a coach here who's going to tell you how to say these lines.
00:31:45.000So like, for instance, when I'm doing, uh, Seamus will ask me to read some lines from Freedom Tunes.
00:31:49.000He's got to be able to tell me how to do the lines because it might say something like, oh boy, I'm going to go buy an ice cream cone.
00:31:56.000And then I say, oh boy, I'm going to buy an ice cream cone.
00:31:57.000And then Seamus will be like, no, say, oh boy!
00:32:28.000You have to tell them that you believe it.
00:32:32.000And this is why Trump basically always crushes, right?
00:32:35.000Because he always, always sells that he believes it.
00:32:38.000This is why he can get away with going on television and saying something completely different than he said a few days ago about a particular person.
00:36:06.000That's why this critique is important, because we're saying we want the policies that he's going to promote in this country to flourish.
00:36:12.000And in order for them to be able to do so, he has to be elected, right?
00:36:15.000And whether he's elected in the primaries or whether he runs for president later on, whether it's the 2024 cycle or 2028, this guy has to do something about his presence.
00:36:25.000Barack Obama blew up kids and got reelected.
00:36:28.000So when you come and you're like, but the policies, I'm like, no, I know the policies are great.
00:36:39.000And then he goes up on stage to speak in front of a bunch of Americans who don't pay attention to politics, who don't know anything about policy.
00:36:46.000And he goes, I think truth matters in this country.
00:37:18.000And by the way, I think it's a good thing.
00:37:20.000All the elections today are decided by low propensity swing voters and swing districts and swing states.
00:37:28.000So when you want to break this down, Republicans are going to vote for Republicans, Democrats are going to vote for Democrats, and you have this fragment that exists of people who really don't want to vote And the Democrats are chasing down those voters and those ballots better than we are.
00:37:43.000So it's like, who's going to hype up their people more and give people more energy to go actually chase down those ballots and build that?
00:38:00.000So, we gotta figure out what makes most people vote, what makes somebody win, and then if you want DeSantis to win, if we want DeSantis to win, we gotta find a way for him to cultivate those things if those policies really matter all that much to you.
00:39:27.000Well, what concerns me more is that nobody was on his campaign, and I know some of the people that run his campaign, great people, but nobody was on his campaign that went, Hey, maybe we should really turn this into a really well-planned event, as if it were live.
00:39:43.000We shouldn't build this thing out to make it seem like it's much bigger than just the Twitter space.
00:39:48.000Because we can make it seem like everyone's listening on Twitter, but that it's a bigger thing that they're not there or part of, and now they're part of something that's bigger.
00:39:57.000That would have been a bigger, grander plan.
00:39:59.000I mean, it just goes to show that the energy's not there with Ron DeSantis, but the energy's not there with his campaign and the people surrounding him that are figuring out what actually works with the MAGA base that they have to try to court, which they're not doing at all.
00:41:41.000In a primary, if it comes down to men vote for Trump and women vote for DeSantis, Trump's going to kill DeSantis because more men are going to show up in the primary.
00:41:50.000Not only that, but a lot of The women who are voting are not going to just be for DeSantis because DeSantis is calm.
00:42:00.000If they're primary voters, it could be a coin toss.
00:42:27.000His policies are only mediocre, in my opinion.
00:42:29.000If you look at Trump's announcement, the ones that we went over the other night, I have significantly stronger preference for the stuff that Trump was talking about than DeSantis.
00:42:40.000DeSantis gave the Standard Republican stuff.
00:42:46.000I mean, it was as as boilerplate, boring, everyday Republican as it can get.
00:42:52.000And that's I think that's because he's trying to say, look, I'm not as extreme as Donald Trump.
00:42:59.000Even though he's gonna try to attack Trump from the right, apparently, that's the goal, I guess.
00:43:05.000But even still, if you look at Trump's, the list that Trump gave the other day that we were going over, compared to DeSantis, I think that Trump is actually offering better, has a better grasp on the things that I'm interested in, like really tearing up the bureaucracy.
00:43:21.000Whether or not he actually will do it, I don't know.
00:43:23.000I was at Mar-a-Lago for Trump's announcement, and I remember everybody going, Wow, he came in really soft.
00:43:31.000I don't know if you remember, he talked in a really low voice.
00:43:37.000That's because Trump needs to be more soft.
00:43:40.000Ron DeSantis needs to be more alpha male to sell himself, and he didn't really produce that tonight.
00:43:46.000Yeah, so you made an interesting point, Phil, about the fact that DeSantis is going to try to attack Trump from the right.
00:43:51.000And this is what always happens during primary seasons, right?
00:43:53.000When Republicans primary, they try to be as far to the right as possible so that they can appeal to the hardline conservative base.
00:43:59.000And then when people on the left are running in the primaries, they're as far left as possible.
00:44:03.000And then when whoever is selected is in the national election, I don't remember saying all those things or those things aren't relevant, whatever it is.
00:44:10.000But with DeSantis, part of what's really a massive weakness for him is the thing that he was best on.
00:44:18.000The thing that the American people were most impressed with him about was his response to COVID.
00:44:24.000Now, unfortunately, It is the case that while, at the time, the things DeSantis was saying were completely unorthodox, the establishment entirely rejected them, most Republicans would not want to associate with you if you were saying those things, because the political science has changed, to quote DeSantis, these are perspectives that you're allowed to have.
00:44:45.000So that takes a lot of DeSantis's edge away, unfortunately.
00:44:48.000Even though he was on the right side of this virtually the entire time, because the status quo has changed, he doesn't seem like an outsider anymore.
00:45:16.000I think he had the most small donations.
00:45:19.000Hey, one Iowa, it ended up just being barely, but he had all the most small dollar donations, and then all of a sudden it just imploded because all these establishment guys dropped out, dropped out, dropped out, started supporting Cruz.
00:45:34.000If establishment guys are dropping out, and all these consultants in all these different states are trying to get contracts, they're not going to Donald Trump for the most part.
00:45:41.000They're going to be going to Ron DeSantis' group.
00:45:44.000And he's going to have a plan to deflect these people, and there's no plan.
00:45:49.000Last year I was saying that I was leaning towards DeSantis.
00:45:55.000Trump wouldn't stop talking about me, me, me, and talking about what was taken from him.
00:45:59.000He needs to get back on that message of this is what they took from you.
00:46:01.000He needs to get back on the message of, with your help, my election brought you a better economy, safer borders, better jobs, et cetera, an end to Middle East conflict.
00:46:11.000And then they took that all away from you when Joe Biden became the president.
00:46:48.000Trump is funny, he's personable, and he's got some... Look, he's certainly crass and crude, and can be very insulting to people who are mean to him.
00:46:57.000But what I'm trying to say is, when he gets up there and talks, he talks from the heart.
00:47:02.000DeSantis gets up there and he reads from his piece of paper, in a very stiff and robotic way, and then says, thank you, and then walks away.
00:47:09.000And I'm like, I don't even know if you mean it, like you were saying about singing, gotta believe it.
00:47:13.000Well, I mean, every single politician in 2016, I was chairman of Maricopa County of the Republican Party, Maricopa County.
00:47:20.000We hosted Trump for the, what became the first Trump rally.
00:47:23.000And I got a chance to meet every single candidate that ran back in 2016.
00:47:28.000And we remember we had like 16 of them or something.
00:48:42.000And that's what I would also say is if you're heavily invested in DeSantis and your position is DeSantis is way better than Trump and you believe that, okay, then you should want DeSantis to learn some of that charisma so that he has a fighting chance.
00:49:06.000It will do no one any favors to pretend that's not the case.
00:49:08.000It's like the Democrats who were trying to pretend that Joe Biden didn't have dementia when he was running in the primaries.
00:49:14.000You can't not acknowledge this because this is going to get him torn to shreds on the national stage.
00:49:18.000So I think Trump, I've said this to people before, I think Trump is like Reagan on steroids.
00:49:23.000What people liked about Reagan was that he would get up, he'd make jokes and people were like, Oh, he kind of reminds me of like my friend or my grandpa or my uncle, like that makes jokes all the time at Thanksgiving.
00:49:36.000And like, Trump is like, like Reagan on steroids when it comes to that.
00:49:40.000But it's, why don't people, I don't understand like how somebody running for president and it's like, you don't learn from at least pieces of that, elements of that.
00:49:47.000Studying from any other president in history?
00:49:48.000Yeah, just like the successful ones that do well.
00:49:53.000Florida's never had a president, have they?
00:49:54.000I was reading something that said Florida has never sent a president.
00:50:34.000That's also why constructive criticism is valid and important.
00:50:37.000Like I said, if you really like DeSantis, you should really be willing to hear these criticisms, and the people at his campaign should, too, because I think this is what the guy needs.
00:51:00.000It's just, somebody's telling him, like, here are great policies, here's what the people want, he's like, great, and then he goes on stage and goes, wah, wah, and then his press people are like, no one better insult Ron DeSantis.
00:51:10.000Okay, well, if your immediate reaction to any light criticism is to start insulting those, you may as well just be a Democrat, you may as well join the left, because your candidate's never going to improve, and you may as well just be a cult.
00:51:21.000You made an interesting point about charisma.
00:51:23.000You said it makes you feel like that person is your friend.
00:51:25.000I was thinking the exact same thing a little bit earlier.
00:51:29.000Having that charismatic power is something that a person might see as a thing that a politician needs, and therefore a politician's trade, and something that actually sets you apart from ordinary people.
00:52:15.000And, in fact, if you were to go up to anybody in this room, in the public, and say, give me your thoughts on modern politics and tell me how you feel, it might start soft and then it'll slowly escalate as we get more impassioned and pull out that anger of the things we're frustrated with, the things we want.
00:52:30.000The average Trump voter could do a better job.
00:52:35.000In my opinion, you take a random Trump voter, put him on stage with a microphone, and say, rally the people and tell them why you're mad.
00:52:41.000And it's going to be some middle-aged, you know, factory workers that say, I lost my job when they opened up those borders and they bring in non-citizens to reap the benefits of my labor and then put me out of work!
00:52:55.000Ron goes, our borders are open and we shouldn't allow- oh man.
00:53:00.000Well, I don't think it's a lack of sincerity.
00:53:02.000I think that there are just some people who are more monotone.
00:53:05.000Their temperament is such that when they say things, it's less exciting and interesting.
00:53:10.000Again, I think that's something you can work on.
00:53:12.000I think that's something that could genuinely improve.
00:53:15.000And by the way, room for improvement is not just a euphemism for you're bad at this.
00:53:19.000It means you actually could become better.
00:53:21.000I think the Santas could become better at this.
00:53:23.000You brought up a really interesting point, which kind of overtures with what we were talking about, which is this should have been programmatic.
00:53:30.000There should have been someone warming the stage up.
00:53:33.000They should have built this thing to like a million concurrent listeners or whatever.
00:53:37.000They should have set a goal, like a bar, like, hey, we're not going to send them out.
00:53:42.000It's just got this thing like, organically, everybody get on Twitter right now.
00:53:45.000But look, You said something that's really interesting.
00:53:49.000Donald Trump has done since day one, our very first rally, which turned into what was the first Trump rally, he, his team, and I think this is Corley Lewandowski deserves a credit for this.
00:53:58.000They had invited angel moms, which were the moms for everyone's listening.
00:54:31.000They should have done it on maybe Joe Rogan, if Rogan would have him, but like a big show, and it should have been on a platform that can handle it.
00:54:40.000And then what happens is one hour before the announcement, they tweet out, Ron DeSantis could tweet, I am joining whatever show to discuss, you know, to discuss a big change in my life.
00:54:58.000Two million, three million people would be watching, and then you would say, you guessed right, I am announcing I'm running, here's why.
00:55:04.000That could have at least made up for some of the charisma gap.
00:55:07.000Instead, they did this wonky, poorly planned thing, and I mean poorly planned in the sense that they announced in advance, or it was leaked in advance, then they put up a video, so it told all the wind out of their sails.
00:55:18.000A bunch of people probably said, okay, I don't need to watch it, I already know, he already announced.
00:55:21.000Then they had the problems on the stream itself, You know what I think?
00:55:25.000I think they're sitting in their planning room and someone goes, what if we announced on Twitter with Elon, oh that's a really good idea, let's do it!
00:56:01.000Yeah, no, and when I- You didn't raise a hundred million dollars for this.
00:56:05.000Seriously, we don't need billions of dollars.
00:56:06.000We're doing an internet live stream show on YouTube.
00:56:09.000Well, there are backups for this live stream show, and when I do finally formally announce my candidacy for president of the United States, we're gonna make sure the infrastructure's in place so that it doesn't cut out or crash.
00:56:21.000Someone said that he did take authenticity training.
00:56:30.000If he went on Alex Stein or Glenn Beck, it would have been way bigger.
00:56:38.000I mean, my biggest takeaway from this whole thing is exactly, I think, what the natural, which is like, how is Ron DeSantis going to be able to hold up throughout this race with Donald Trump?
00:56:49.000And what's so sad about this, which I think really the undertones of everything is, is that I think everybody wants Ron DeSantis to succeed.
00:56:58.000I think everybody wants Ron DeSantis to be around in 2028 and 2032.
00:57:05.000And to learn from it, and to pull from the base, and listen to the base, and listen to the grassroots.
00:57:11.000But everything that this is looking like is that it's the opposite.
00:57:27.000I want them to know that they're cutting Bureaucracy that they're getting I wanted to get rid of cabinet level bureaucracies cut them get rid of the entire Department of Education like like make real as massive stance Substantial cuts and if DeSantis is gonna be like what we'll go in and we'll go ahead and we'll change some people around No, not good enough for it.
00:57:48.000I want serious hacking with a machete to the federal government But I don't know that Donald Trump will do that either, necessarily, but I do think he'll get revenge on the bureaucrats.
00:57:59.000So I don't know what Rich Bear said, but I did find a tweet from David Marcus,
00:58:02.000who said, this is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to a presidential candidate.
00:58:05.000It's not close. Just hold a rally. Yeah, man.
00:59:18.000So, I would just like for everyone to consider, very briefly, what Gavin Newsom just said.
00:59:23.000That Target will remove all of their women's clothing.
00:59:27.000Because they're patriarchal or something.
00:59:30.000No, you can't shop at Target, it's only for men now.
00:59:32.000Well, Tim, I mean, it makes perfect sense, right?
00:59:35.000I mean, there's nothing that people who don't want sexual perversion forced onto their children hate more than Asians, I guess.
00:59:43.000Did the Daily Beast Did the Daily Beast consider it freaking out when you had to go to the Supreme Court to decide if a man could say, no, I don't want to endorse your marriage?
00:59:56.000Of course the Daily Beast didn't freak out over that, but this is it.
01:01:02.000I think regular parents, that we don't know these stories, I don't think there's videos, I think regular people walked in and saw the weird sexualized stuff for kids and said, hey, what are you doing?
01:01:13.000And so the left keeps trying to argue that none of this is inherently sexual when quite literally LGBT is a reference to a person's sexual proclivities.
01:02:27.000If it wasn't inherently sexual, they wouldn't be so obsessed with trying to force it onto children, and they wouldn't lose their minds when adults push back against it, because the thing they claim is being attacked is their sexuality.
01:03:20.000It's like you're seeing this and I think it's mind-blowing to me that people who can't have kids, you know, want to exploit All of the LGBTQ community to kids.
01:03:39.000I think these corporations, they've reached the point where regular people are just saying, we are not accepting of this.
01:03:46.000We don't care if you're privately in your own home.
01:03:49.000We don't care if you want to live your life and be happy.
01:03:51.000But you started putting on a prominent display in front of our children.
01:03:54.000You started having people do sexual things in the streets at these pride parades, which they do.
01:03:58.000You had, I think it was in Florida, they said you can't have adult shows for children, so one town cancelled their pride parade.
01:04:05.000What were they intending to show kids at these pride parades?
01:04:08.000But why are they so obsessed with kids?
01:04:11.000I mean, a lot of... They're saying the quiet part very loudly is what's happening.
01:04:18.000They have no interest in... There's a whole play of like, oh, we're just trying to open up the eyes of children that we don't want to have.
01:04:25.000The vast majority of any gay couple that exists Doesn't have kids.
01:05:32.000Well, somebody was explaining the whole distribution thing to me, that part of the reason why they're seeing the spike now with Bud Light is that the distributors finally have... It's a wave.
01:06:22.000Maybe they won't put out Christmas stuff after Halloween now.
01:06:25.000I mean, it's difficult because some people have no choice.
01:06:31.000You know, when it comes to beer, you buy beer frequently if you drink beer, and there's not really strong brand loyalty, so it was the perfect boycott.
01:06:39.000If you live in some suburbs, you have nowhere else to go, Target's your place.
01:06:43.000If you can, however, avoid it, I recommend you avoid it.
01:06:46.000And you're breaking, you know, these habits of, like, my wife, you know, ends up in Target four times a week, and it's like, now you gotta break that habit, so, you know, gotta That's not gonna work.
01:08:13.000I mean, it's all so swampy these days.
01:08:15.000But Walmart's really good about, like, Really blending with the with the local community.
01:08:20.000So I'm sure it's more liberal and more liberal communities and a way more conservative So they'll have like Christian books up front and like, you know, I know in Utah.
01:08:28.000Yeah, they have Mormon books up front like I bet my guess is it's probably a little bit more liberal liberal communities targets just like They push everything the same.
01:08:43.000Someone from the New York Times is reporting that when DeSantis was on with Trey Gowdy, he finished it up talking about the Federal Reserve and that he was talking about the Jerome Powell.
01:08:55.000And as part of his campaign, he intends to blame the Fed money printing for laying groundwork for inflation, which is, I mean, that should be obvious.
01:09:03.000And any president that doesn't lay that out is suspect.
01:10:56.000This is a lot moving into a 2024 election cycle.
01:11:01.000If they had 90 million in 2020, and then two years later they're down by 90%, that means the sentiment among regular people is not favorable for Black Lives Matter, and it means that many of these people may be waking up or may just be like, we're out of this, we're not going to be involved.
01:11:18.000Because they got a lot from corporate America, which is really important in this case, is like the flip around on this with corporate America is really important for the future of the country.
01:11:29.000And maybe, maybe there's some hope there.
01:11:31.000I don't have a lot of hope for corporate America, but maybe there's a little bit of hope.
01:12:33.000And there was a student government, a student body president, I think it was a young black man, they started a campaign basically using student government funds.
01:12:42.000I was just like, because they have slush funds at all these big universities.
01:12:44.000And that's where the name Black Lives Matter came from.
01:13:13.000So then they formalized that as an organization, but it's still the, the, the tiny legs that it had were funded essentially through student government, which was a really interesting tidbit, which is a really important reason why you can't let these, these universities just kind of run rampant with this thing.
01:13:31.000Yeah, I remember in roughly 2013 when I first heard it, 2014 when I first heard it, it was definitely Trayvon Martin.
01:13:37.000At least that's what gave it legs on the nationals.
01:13:39.000Yeah, it started July 2013 with the use of the hashtag Black Lives Matter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman.
01:13:44.000Yeah, because I remember I was down there in New York when I was covering those protests when all that went down, and that was the beginning.
01:13:51.000And then there was some other guy who created something called Black Lives Matter, I think, before all of them, and they shut his... They just hijacked it all.
01:13:59.000But the money that got behind it was originally from just like they latched onto it, identified it and said, this is something.
01:14:08.000And so they took a bunch of student government money, which is they were able to do across the country, landed at the White House, solidified it.
01:14:16.000I think for Democrats, they're like, oh, we can get votes from this.
01:14:30.000We're going to be moving into a new era.
01:14:32.000I think I'm fairly optimistic, especially with shows like this on the rise.
01:14:36.000I mean, look, if Tucker Carlson goes independent, launching his own network or his own online channels, the rise of Rumble, Elon Musk buying Twitter, I think it's all looking fairly positive.
01:17:05.000So, she also gave a guy $970,000 for live events, or the organization gave for live events, and everyone's like, oh, that dude probably didn't see that money.
01:17:45.000I can tell you at Turning Point, running a large nonprofit that we've been very blessed to raise a lot of money.
01:17:51.000We've hired and staffing... We've staffed thousands of people over the years.
01:17:56.000We have right now and staff hundreds and hundreds of people between our organization.
01:18:00.000Building that within a year, You know, where did all that money go is a really great question because, I mean, we're not talking about $10 million.
01:18:10.000We're talking about literally they were in, they had transactionally hundreds of millions of dollars that they had access to essentially in capital that they worked with.
01:18:33.000So, you know, what we know of is just a very small sliver of what really bad things that probably did actually happen because you don't know these things when C3s, C4s, they file this stuff away.
01:18:45.000I'm not even convinced BLM did anything untoward in a certain sense.
01:18:50.000You give them money, they can do what they want with it.
01:18:53.000There's no way you can build a $100 million organization in basically a year or two years.
01:19:21.000No, but I think that the important takeaway, as I mentioned earlier, is whatever it is that's resulting in people not wanting to give BLM money is going to have a similar rollover effect on everything else.
01:19:31.000And I think there's a lot of people who are wising up, you know, we were skating in Hagerstown, I mentioned this the other day, and a bunch of local suburban Maryland people were like, yo, crime is getting out of control, what's going on?
01:19:43.000And then these people started talking about gun ownership, gun rights, and I'm like, there it is!
01:19:47.0002A's gonna be stronger, Trump's gonna win, and it's because these suburbanite people are tied to the violent crime and the cops are doing nothing about it.
01:20:00.000And then you end up voting for the right guy.
01:20:05.000All roads lead to the same place when you're, you know, when you have a, actually the constitutional principles being followed.
01:20:11.000And that's part of the reason why they want to destroy all of it.
01:20:13.000That's why they want to subvert all this with, you know, crazy stuff.
01:20:16.000Like, you know, I saw some things on national popular vote, not to take us off, but rank choice voting, this stuff is really scary because no matter what the public sentiment is, they're trying to subvert whatever that is.
01:20:51.000They say a new poll has found that nearly 7 in 10 registered independents are worried about President Joe Biden's mental fitness ahead of the 2024 election.
01:21:01.000Pollers on Wednesday found that 69% of registered independents believe his mental fitness is a genuine concern, while 27% believe his mental fitness is being used as a campaign strategy by opponents.
01:21:31.000I can't imagine how people can have any kind of awareness of the president and not say, well, it kind of, you know, Listen to him, you know, I mean, that's that's your standard kind of the reply that you would expect from the average person that doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to politics.
01:21:48.000If you've only got, you know, if you dedicate 15 minutes a day to watching a little bit of news, so that way you feel like you have an idea about what people are talking about and you hear Joe Biden.
01:22:04.000You can't feel confident that this guy's, you know, laser-focused on what's going on.
01:22:10.000I can't imagine how that is, and obviously it's showing in the polls.
01:22:15.000Yeah, I mean, I just don't know how you could have seen Joe Biden say anything in public and not be worried about the status of his mental health.
01:22:22.000The best, the best the man does at public speaking is Slurring his words instead of constantly gaffing.
01:22:30.000I remember when we watched his State of the Union address about a year and a half ago, and it was probably the best he'd sounded in the last year and a half, but he did sound drunk the entire time.
01:22:41.000I'm not saying he was drunk, I'm just saying his brain operates in such a way.
01:22:46.000That when he speaks normally he slurs his words to the point where he sounds intoxicated.
01:22:52.000I think that one of the one of the negatives about the way that the Twitter space went today is I don't see a convincing Argument to get the president on a Twitter space had this gone perfectly and it been great and and hadn't everything worked fine Then you could then you could argue.
01:23:13.000Okay, we have to get the you know, get more presidential candidates on the more you get the more pressure it is on Trump and and Biden I would like to see that happen but I feel like that was probably the biggest the biggest negative about this is the fact that it's it's It doesn't lend credibility to independent media and stuff the way that that I had hoped that it would.
01:23:38.000Well, Joe Biden would benefit from this like FDR did.
01:23:43.000I mean, I would watch him wander around stage for an hour.
01:23:47.000But I mean, this is like, I was thinking about this today.
01:23:50.000What greater, you know, this is the BLM crossover here.
01:23:53.000What greater vision of white privilege could possibly exist than the media and everyone else covering for Joe Biden and Hunter Biden?
01:24:03.000Like literally they've been trying to indoctrinate our kids.
01:24:08.000All of society, basically, on this false notion of white privilege, and you've got an old guy in there that just wanders around stage, they run cover for him the entire time, his son is like literally the worst presidential kid ever to exist in the history, should be in jail for the rest of his life, and they're not talking about white privilege now?
01:24:38.000And so Joe Biden though, Joe Biden is benefiting from like the nepotistic elements of media where like they're covering for him because he can't literally conduct himself in a, in a public setting.
01:25:03.000The man got on national television and said he has spent more time picking through the carpet for anything that even remotely resembles crack cocaine that he smoked more Parmesan cheese than anyone you know.
01:25:15.000And that's not even talking about his dad's mental health.
01:26:16.000He should take advantage of it and be like, I'm going to win because you're going to demand that I win, and then I'm going to change the laws and take away the ability of this to happen again.
01:26:42.000I think it's far more likely that Barack Obama's phoning it in than Kamala Harris is doing it.
01:26:49.000I'm deathly scared, you know, being the Arizonan here, I'm deathly afraid of this concept of potentially Kyrsten Sinema replacing Kamala Harris.
01:28:14.000And so if DeSantis is an opportunity for something new, I think he kind of blew it today, but I still think he can recover.
01:28:22.000Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of time left here, but it's an eternity.
01:28:26.000I mean, at this point, I heard someone talking about it today.
01:28:28.000At this point in the 2008 campaign, it was Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton that were obviously going to be the people that were- Giuliani, they thought that?
01:28:41.000Yeah, at this point, this far out, they said that Giuliani and Clinton.
01:28:45.000No one could figure out, you know, it was like obvious and blah blah blah and then this young senator from Illinois popped his head up and...
01:29:24.000The DNC has had their finger on the scale for the DNC, definitely since Donald Trump was elected.
01:29:34.000Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton was not supposed to happen.
01:29:38.000And after that, Federal government has had their finger on the scale as much as they can.
01:29:45.000They have been pumping out as much propaganda to all of the legacy media establishments that will take it.
01:29:55.000The government looked at Donald Trump and said, this is a really bad thing and it's been doing its best to make sure that Donald Trump can't get elected again.
01:30:05.000Well, a lot of that comes down to the unpreparedness that the Democrats had in Michigan, which again, you want to bring up things that will never happen again.
01:30:13.000They will never let Michigan slide out of their hands again.
01:30:18.000It would take a massive, massive undertaking, a massive army for us to win Michigan.
01:30:25.000But is Michigan one of the principal states we've got to win in 2024?
01:30:28.000It's one of only six or seven that matter.
01:30:30.000And you look at what they did with the election law in Michigan, basically making it impossible for us to overcome cheating there, manipulation, not to get too far into the weeds.
01:30:42.000But I mean, they spend tens of millions of dollars on ballot chasing, ballot harvesting.
01:30:47.000And until the right can match that, you're not going to get close enough to be able to even think about overcoming in the manipulation that they do in those states.

01:31:06.000We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show coming up for you at about 10 10 p.m.
01:31:09.000You don't want to miss it, but we'll read your Super Chats for now.
01:31:13.000We got Max Dali says, head greater than heart, substance greater than sentiment, DeSantis 2024.
01:31:19.000It's a great slogan that will not play at all for the average American who only really cares about how you sound on stage.
01:32:29.000I don't care if North Face wants to do a Drag Queen promo, I just won't buy North Face.
01:32:34.000But now that they've moved beyond that into targeting kids, I'm like, nope, nope, nope, nope, all of it, none.
01:32:41.000It's basically like, I'll put it this way.
01:32:42.000Dude shows up to your party, you don't know who he is, and you're like, okay, look, I don't know this guy, but, you know, my friend brought him over, it's fine.
01:32:50.000Once the dude starts going over little kids and trying to sniff them, we say, get out, get out, get out.
01:32:55.000We were fine with you here, but now you're doing the weird kid stuff, out of the building, go home.
01:34:24.000Yeah, what's going on with Carrie Lake?
01:34:27.000Well, first off, I have a Golden Retriever and I have a Wirefox Terrier, but they're both Gilligan and Skipper.
01:34:35.000Carrie Lake, so just talked to Carrie's team, you know, been big allies with Carrie throughout this election.
01:34:43.000You know, she just, you have to understand the courts are not our friend.
01:34:49.000You're not going to get, we're not going to get where we want to go in a state like Arizona where you have Establishment control for 50 years.
01:35:44.000So, you know, we're going to have to take some significant strategy here.
01:35:47.000And I think this is part of, you know, I'm on the RNC.
01:35:50.000The RNC, I've been very vocal about this, has not done its job with producing the hundred plus attorneys that we need that can go fight the good fight and build our own Perkins Coy.
01:36:55.000I mean, maybe DeSantis could win with his current level of charisma.
01:36:58.000I'm not making any predictions about the future, but what I will say is if you really like a candidate and you want to help make him stronger, constructive criticism is an important part of that.
01:37:07.000And what I am saying and what I've said repeatedly is I like DeSantis.
01:37:10.000I like a lot of what DeSantis has done through his entire political career.
01:37:13.000Even before COVID, I found him interesting and liked the things that he said.
01:37:17.000However, That doesn't mean he's perfect.
01:37:20.000And one of his flaws is a pretty major flaw, which is that when he speaks, it's not all that engaging.
01:37:27.000We can say that to him with the hopes of him working that out in a way that makes him more electable without being against him.
01:37:35.000In fact, quite to the contrary, we want him to improve as a candidate.
01:37:55.000I don't know, but I do know that there's a reason that political leaders will spend obscene amounts of money with people who coach them to try to become more charismatic.
01:38:04.000And I would suspect that's because they see results.
01:38:09.000Yeah, like I'm not trying to be so harsh on on DeSantis I guess my point is just I the thing is why I find myself loving Just so much of what he says is really great Like I like what he says and I like a lot of what he's done.
01:38:21.000I think he's been one of the He's one of the few Republican leaders that we've seen in the past decade.
01:38:27.000He's been one of the best Republican leaders we've seen in the past decade.
01:38:30.000And I think that it is a shame that that message is going to be lost on so many people because there are people who support him and around him who are invested in not having him hear anything that will cause him to want to improve his delivery.
01:38:44.000I would want to push back on that a little bit because I don't feel like he says anything that's new.
01:38:48.000I don't think that... I totally disagree.
01:38:53.000Where he was on COVID was so far outside of the status quo that at the time it was very much a new thing.
01:39:00.000Now, because he was clearly on the right side of that issue, he's at the disadvantage of being so correct so soon where it doesn't even seem like an interesting position anymore.
01:39:48.000I feel like even when I just speak to people in general, just normally talking to them, I have more inflection and more character.
01:39:53.000He just seemed flat and monotone like he was reading, like right off the prompter.
01:39:57.000And I don't know, that doesn't really sit well with me or most Americans these days, you know?
01:40:01.000I just don't have any kind of particular allegiance to Ron DeSantis.
01:40:04.000I know that there are people out there that are like, you know, he would be more electable than Trump, etc.
01:40:09.000And I don't think so because even if he were to take the nomination, the entire establishment and all of the propaganda that comes along with it is going to be turned against him and they're going to demonize him in the exact same way that they did Trump.
01:40:30.000All of the pieces are in place to make Ron DeSantis worse than Donald Trump.
01:40:36.000They've already started saying those things.
01:40:38.000I think Bill Kristol called him a beta.
01:41:01.000Yeah, but you know, it's also personality like people watch your show because they're just like look I Like that person.
01:41:08.000I like that vibe that he puts out and it's consistent and it's and it there's there's a normalcy to it that like people just have Like normal quirks about them when you have a politician that isn't quirky That doesn't have things that you can see and you can follow and you can get every time that you you turn on the TV basically People start to lose interest.
01:41:29.000And that's the world that we're in today.
01:41:32.000Is there like... I turn on the TV because even if I don't like Trump, he's hilarious and he's quirky and he's weird and I'm going to get something out of it.
01:41:41.000Tripwire says, don't get me wrong, I love what DeSantis has been doing in Florida, but he did say if Trump ran in 2024, he wouldn't.
01:41:48.000His campaign to be is founded on a lie.
01:41:52.000Makes me now wonder if all he has done was just pretense to run for POTUS.
01:42:16.000I just don't think he has the charisma.
01:42:17.000But Trump cleared a lane for him in Florida.
01:42:19.000I think that all the missiles were directed at Trump and Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where it's really alleviated and created a pathway for Ron DeSantis.
01:42:28.000And again, the unwinnable subject matter here, Florida for Democrats, has allowed it to cut off here.
01:43:07.000Well, and this is something that people are saying is like, well, you know, Joe Biden wasn't very charismatic.
01:43:12.000Why would DeSantis seem to be charismatic?
01:43:14.000I think we can all agree, without even having to get into too much detail, that Biden had certain unfair advantages that DeSantis is not going to have.
01:43:21.000The entire dominant media culture was on his side.
01:43:23.000They literally published an article saying, this is how we coalesce to ensure that this guy would get elected.
01:43:27.000No one's going to do that for DeSantis.
01:43:28.000They're going to work against DeSantis.
01:43:51.000And it could become it could be massively instrumental in ensuring that his message is heard and taken seriously by a larger percentage of the American population.
01:43:59.000Eric Cecil says, pretty ironic you're criticizing Elon and DeSantis for a few glitches on Twitter, on a Twitter space, when you couldn't even set up audio at a bar in Austin, Texas for the entire event.
01:44:14.000Comparing a 12-way microphone setup, because it wasn't just people on stage, with multiple cameras and a sound system for a live event and livestream, comparing that to three guys sitting in a room with their phones sitting in front of them is remarkable.
01:44:32.000If we were going to do TeamCastIRL on Twitter Spaces, I'd put the phone right in front of me and I'd press play, and then we'd talk.
01:44:39.000Now, I understand there are issues with the entirety of the Twitter infrastructure and what it can handle, that's fine, but the fact that Elon unmuted his microphone while the guy sitting next to him was speaking, causing a feedback loop, and then the guy mutes his account mid-speech, those are human errors.
01:44:57.000And, like Shaman said, We're not running for president!
01:45:01.000Our budget for this thing was like $30,000.
01:45:02.000like it was like twenty or thirty like it was like thirty thousand dollars
01:45:05.000we're not launching a multi-billion dollar presidential campaign
01:45:09.000but you know what I'll still give you credit.
01:46:01.000But our best bet in my mind, based on the data available as of this date, May 24th, 2023, is that Trump is the guy who is most likely to fight.
01:46:20.000No says, please someone bottle this, it's better than melatonin.
01:46:24.000Well yeah, you know, tonight after the show I'm going to play DeSantis' announcement speech so I can get to bed early.
01:46:33.000Yeah, put us to sleep, that's for sure.
01:46:35.000Yeah, it didn't hype things up ahead of time.
01:46:37.000I was really hoping that we'd go into this whole thing with a really big hype story with this and it was a snooze fest.
01:46:44.000Calisthenics Earth says he would have been much better off just announcing it on an interview with Jon Stossel, have it released with the full interview being dropped, uh, that dropped yesterday.
01:46:53.000He could have just made a Twitter video and it would have been a better launch where he's like, hi, I'm announcing I'm running for president because truth matters.
01:47:01.000Hey, at least Jon Stossel has that like dateline over the top voice, you know?
01:48:15.000Jake says, it's incredibly ironic that a Santa's colors Biden's vaccinated is unconstitutional, but went out of his way to preserve Florida's law, allowing police officers to forcibly vaccinate civilians.
01:48:53.000Spoken like someone who is smart, but not good with people.
01:48:57.000So many Republicans have that logic, but no feeling, no emotion, and they don't get it.
01:49:03.000Democrats know emotion is everything, they invest in it, and Republicans are like logic.
01:49:07.000Republicans are the ones who are going to go out and be like, if you vote for me, I'll explain to you in this three-point plan how we bring back jobs to your neighborhood.
01:49:13.000Now, the big thing you're facing is overtaxation, which drives corporate, and they're going, huh?
01:49:18.000Then you get Barack Obama and go, can't we do it?
01:50:07.000I don't think he's going to be as successful as he can be if that isn't worked out.
01:50:11.000One thing to point out is that Florida has a a Moderately early primary.
01:50:16.000I mean, it's like I think it's like smack in the middle.
01:50:18.000It's in mid-march but like if DeSantis doesn't win, Florida that's gonna be like It's looking like we're coming up to Florida and he doesn't have a chance to win, Florida.
01:50:29.000That is a huge problem that's a huge problem for Ron DeSantis to and so we'll see where the polls end up in Florida, but Alright, so... Gono says, TDS goes both ways it seems.
01:50:43.000I don't care how electric a politician is.
01:50:46.000I care if they deliver the results they promise, which is what we have seen repeatedly from DeSantis.
01:50:51.000I like Trump but there is no loyalty to politicians.
01:50:54.000Yep, and can the politician get elected?
01:50:58.000You can have the best policies in the world, or you can take Trump who's got a lot of good policies and has the demeanor and the character.
01:51:04.000I'm not saying Trump is perfect, not by any stretch, but, dude, The Economist says Ron DeSnoozeFest.
01:51:12.000I showed some people and they went, wow.
01:51:15.000Like, it was just reading a piece of paper, like, not even feeling it.
01:51:30.000Yeah, but I just wanna, like, if you're a diehard DeSantis supporter, if you're a never-Trumper, you really think DeSantis has to be the guy, don't you want him to work on that?
01:51:40.000Don't you want him to get better at his delivery so he can be more successful?
01:52:05.000Seymour Butt says, Tim, we don't want an elitist Blue Falcon who graduated from two Ivy League law schools, then went to wear the Blue Falcon title.
01:53:21.000Barack Obama gets elected after blowing up children because people don't care about policy.
01:53:26.000I would love it if Ron DeSantis got in and enacted policy, which I think he does better than Trump.
01:53:31.000But it's insane to think at the current pace, he's going to be able to do it.
01:53:36.000It's remarkable to me that someone like me, I pay attention to this stuff, I watch Obama get in office and start blowing up children immediately and I'm like, wow, that's the opposite of what I voted for.
01:53:45.000And people are just like, I'm gonna vote for him again.
01:53:47.000And I was like, what about blowing up kids do you think warrants re-election?
01:54:11.000None of these guys are perfect, but Donald Trump banned at the federal level contracting with corporations that had this woke garbage in their companies.
01:54:20.000He was shutting it down in the military as well.
01:54:22.000I think Ron DeSantis would do better policy-wise, but we're talking about the executive branch.
01:54:27.000Ron DeSantis would not be a legislator when he's in the executive branch.
01:54:43.000Donald Trump is the guy who's got the brash attitude who I want to see start enforcing some laws.
01:54:47.000Not saying he will, but dude, you can sit here and be like, this is what really bugs me about why they're, like, about the right, why they lose too much when it comes to this political stuff.
01:54:58.000Ben Shapiro comes out and says, facts don't care about your feelings.
01:55:00.000And they all start going, waving their arms and they're cheering for it.
01:55:03.000And I'm like, that means nothing to the average person who believes feelings don't care about your facts.
01:55:08.000And that's why Democrats win over the default liberal.
01:55:14.000When we look at the Bud Light stuff, it should be default that people are like, I'm not buying that because I don't want to be made fun of by my friends.
01:55:23.000The Democrats use shame and fear and powerful emotions to win elections.
01:55:37.000You take a guy who sells medical equipment and put him next to Ron DeSantis and you will believe in your mind that Ron knows nothing about the politics and the medical supply sales guy knows everything.
01:55:49.000Because being able to speak and being charismatic conveys more trust than not being able to.
01:55:58.000When they say things like, oh, you know all this stuff, and I'm like, well, make sure you think I actually know something.
01:56:03.000Like, well, it sounds like you know it.
01:56:04.000Yeah, I read it on the news, and it could be a lie later on.
01:56:07.000If a guy goes on stage like Ron DeSantis and says, freedom is worth fighting for, you're like, that doesn't sound like he actually thinks that.
01:56:14.000And then someone else comes up and goes, freedom is worth fighting for, and that's why you must join me.
01:56:20.000People are going to be like, oh, that's definitive.
01:56:23.000I've seen it happen at all these different rallies.
01:56:25.000I've seen the left do it time after time.
01:56:26.000I've seen every non-profit pull this off.
01:56:29.000If you don't know, and if you don't sound convinced, people will not follow you.
01:56:38.000And I think anytime there's any criticism made of DeSantis, People are going to assume because of the rivalry that what you're saying is that you think that DeSantis is terrible and Trump is great.
01:56:52.000You could say, look, DeSantis has this flaw that he needs to work out.
01:56:55.000It's going to make him more electable.
01:56:57.000And I think that Super Chatter actually has the Trump Derangement Syndrome because they're so obsessed with getting in anyone else, they would take a guy who probably would lose.
01:57:09.000There was a poll that came out, I think it was Interactive Polls posted this, dissenters losing to Biden by three points.
01:57:16.000Now, they're going to come out and they're going to tell you, no, no, we want Trump to run.
01:57:21.000You had on The View, they said, we want Trump to be the candidate so we can beat him.
01:57:24.000They want DeSantis to be the candidate because he's dry, because he's boring and monotonous.
01:57:47.000The president is going to go out and rally the American people around these ideas.
01:57:51.000DeSantis CAN be that guy, but I'm just so fed up, I can't believe after all this time we knew he was gonna run, they did not give him legitimate real training or direction.
01:58:30.000When someone goes on stage and just talks and you're falling asleep, you don't even remember it.
01:58:35.000What did you have for breakfast yesterday?
01:58:37.000They don't care about how much you know until they know about how much you care.
01:58:40.000If you had breakfast with Donald Trump, you would never forget every moment of that breakfast.
01:58:45.000Oh, I had two eggs scrambled, the bacon, the hash browns, and we got these delicious sweet potato biscuits and I put a ton of butter on them.
01:59:46.000And people have been saying it for a long time.
01:59:48.000When we had Milo on the show and he said it was like when you reach for something and you accidentally touch something moist like a wet sponge.
02:00:38.000I'm gonna take Ron DeSantis' presidential announcement speech, I'm going to deliver it, but instead of saying I'm running for president, I'm going to say, and that's why I'm selling you coffee.
02:00:46.000So join the fight today and go to castbrew.com and buy Rise with Roberto Jr.
02:00:52.000because if you don't, this country will fall.
02:00:59.000And then it'll just be like, people will be like, bro, it's just coffee, calm down.
02:01:03.000Can you imagine that all these things going wrong in your first day of opening a coffee shop though?
02:01:08.000You want to have this product, like you said, perfected so that when it's coming out, everybody in their first day in your coffee shop is going to be like, wow, this is incredible.
02:01:32.000This is sort of an infamous story in political history, but I'm sure you're all familiar with the Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960, and everyone who heard it on the radio thought that Nixon crushed, and everyone who saw it on television thought that Kennedy won.
02:01:47.000That's the whole point of all of this.
02:01:49.000Public image and how it's presented to people matters a lot.
02:01:52.000So you could say his policies are the best in the world, but if they're not presented in a way which is packaged in a way such that the average American person is going to be receptive to it, it doesn't matter.
