00:00:02.000 Hey, everybody.
00:00:03.000 Welcome to Loomer Unleashed.
00:00:04.000 I'm Laura Loomer, and today we're going to be talking about Ron DeSantis' disaster book tour.
00:00:10.000 Yesterday, Ron DeSantis announced his new book, The Courage to be Free, and he decided that he was going to go on a series of media appearances and even live book signings throughout the state of Florida.
00:00:22.000 Well, you know that I live in Florida.
00:00:24.000 And yesterday I decided to organize a pro-Trump 2024 rally in front of the Leesburg Mall Books A Million store where Ron DeSantis was scheduled to be signing copies of his book.
00:00:37.000 Why did I do this?
00:00:38.000 Well, the worst kept secret in the state of Florida is the fact that Ron DeSantis is indeed going to be running for president in 2024 by primarying President Donald Trump for the GOP nominee.
00:01:04.000 Why has he not announced yet?
00:01:25.000 You see...
00:01:29.000 He wants to get all the benefits of being the governor while running for president full time.
00:01:33.000 But he needs the legislature to change the law, which is why he's waiting until May, because the Florida legislative session ends in May.
00:01:42.000 Obviously, Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.
00:01:46.000 He's also the reason why Ron DeSantis is governor of Florida.
00:01:50.000 In a sense, Ron DeSantis owes his entire political career to Donald Trump.
00:01:55.000 And so myself and some of the villagers for Trump, Trump supporters in the villages where I ran for Congress in 2022, decided that we were going to show support for President Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign by having a pro-Trump rally in front of the bookstore.
00:02:12.000 Well, Ron DeSantis, right?
00:02:16.000 He might want to change the title of his book, The Courage to be Free.
00:02:19.000 Because when we arrived on the scene, we were told by a security guard that Ron DeSantis and his staff told him to say that anybody who was pro-Trump or wearing Trump gear had to be escorted off the property and told to leave the book signing.
00:02:37.000 So much for free speech.
00:02:39.000 Welcome to the free state of Florida.
00:02:42.000 Take a look for yourself.
00:02:59.000 You heard it in his own words.
00:03:01.000 That security guard said that we had to leave because the DeSantis people inside sent him outside to tell us that anybody who is for Trump had to leave.
00:03:12.000 It didn't just end there.
00:03:14.000 Are you acting like the far left?
00:03:16.000 We're acting like the far left trying to get Trump elected?
00:03:30.000 The situation escalated so much that when we decided that we were going to refuse to leave because we have a First Amendment right to peacefully assemble.
00:03:39.000 They decided to call the police.
00:03:42.000 So essentially, you know, there are no DeSantis supporters that aren't Trump supporters because all of DeSantis' supporters became his supporters thanks to Donald Trump.
00:03:52.000 However, there are many Trump supporters that are not DeSantis supporters.
00:03:56.000 So in a way, the only thing that Ron DeSantis ended up doing by calling the police or instructing his staff to call the police and have security We're good to go.
00:04:23.000 DeSantis' people are in there saying, have me come out to tell you guys not to be here, why he's here, signing the book.
00:04:30.000 I thought that Governor DeSantis was, like, he always talks about how he's in favor of free speech.
00:04:35.000 Like, we have a First Amendment right to be here to rally in support of President Trump.
00:04:38.000 Right, you do.
00:04:39.000 Right.
00:04:39.000 But not now.
00:04:40.000 So DeSantis' people told you that we have to leave?
00:04:44.000 Yes.
00:04:44.000 The haters online and all of the DeSantis fans made fun of the size of our protests.
00:04:50.000 They said, We're good to go.
00:05:20.000 We're good to go.
