Florida Democrats call out Governor DeSantis' absence

Rest assured, Ron DeSantis is campaigning outside the state of Florida and picking fights with Mickey Mouse instead of fighting with Mickey Mouse, how about Ron show up for the people of our state? Florida Democrats are criticizing Gov. Ron DeSantis for visiting D.C. while the state is still recovering from a historic flood, while DeSantis himself is escalating his feud with Disney. Look at this, maybe try to make more Amusement Parks, someone even said maybe I need another state prison that knows he's with us, former New York Democratic Congressman Max. Rose and Mark McKinnon former advisor to George W.

Bush and John McCain. He is one of the co-hosts of Circus on Showtime Max. What is Ron DeSantis doing? How do you explain this policy to me? One of the largest employers. One of the biggest centers of joy for people all over the country, who are you doing this for? This is Donald Trump and he's frantic, he's nervous, he's shaken by the fact that Trump has completely skyrocketed in the polls and he's acting like a baby and he's making huge, massive political mistakes and At this point, I would say that if DeSantis has no chance of winning the nomination, the pace he's going to go, in fact, if he wins the nomination, I'm willing to wear one of Mark's cowboy hats for an entire segment, but in all seriousness, he doesn't There's no way to let him get a fast pass at Disney, yes, she signs, thinking about his decline in all the places we're looking at when he just arrived in DC, barely any members of Congress showed up at his event, none were willing to endorse him, in fact , one supported him.

Donald Trump immediately after sitting down with Ron DeSantis, so it's a shocking and shocking decline in a presidential campaign that he hasn't even announced yet. I want to understand what Floridan is saying. Bring It On. I would love a state prison next to Disney. I want to play mark something Chris Christie said about Rhonda Santos I don't think Ron DeSantis is a conservative because of his actions towards Disney. I mean, you know where we're headed here now. That if you express this agreement in this country, the government can do it. Punishing you, wasn't there a time in this country when the Republican Party loved big business?

What's going on? Well, Christy is right. This exposes two major flaws in Desantis' approach. One is the one that Christy mentioned in that clip, which is, It's very contrary to Republican orthodoxy for the government to tell private companies how to run their businesses and it's a very complicated story that we won't get into right now, but the another part is how Petty DeSantis overcame this because Disney actually made a very clever artistic move with the board and the construction of what's going on down there and he was embarrassed by it so now he comes to how they're going to regulate their attractions and Parks security, so the other thing he exposes is how Petty he is.

I mean, he just can't stand the fact that this, you know, highly respected corporation has played a quick trick on him and embarrassed him, but it's all because he started this and he didn't need it and at the end of the day , the broader point is the most important one, I think, which is contrary to the Republican approach and the broader orthodoxy and whether Rhonda Sandis is for big. The government tells businesses what to do, so you should be a Democrat. I just want to know what the voters are saying, what the pollsters are saying to Ron DeSantis.

This works. Max. I want to go beyond Disney, but talk about businesses and business leadership because we've seen this rise in anti. -lgbtq legislation restrictive abortion bills it was only a few years ago that we saw companies intervene in a big way right in 2016 when the NBA and other companies pulled out of North Carolina because of the bathroom bill somehow they It seems to have faded, why? Well, of course, what's driving Desantis' argument and his fight against Disney was that Disney was willing to support LGBTQ rights, so what we're seeing is the Republican base now in a party dominated by Trump Republicans It is filled and dominated by cultural grievances. dominated by hate towards whether it's LGBT groups or groups that fight gun violence or whatever, and what's so sad for the Republican Party in this case is that that base is not even remotely representative of the majority of the voters and that's why since 2016 the Donald Trump Republican Party has lost every major election since then, three in a row, so if we were to take a step back and look at the dynamics of the party, I think right now it's so Joe Biden has not yet announced what he has done for president.

He made his decision months ago, but he knows that if he stays on the sidelines and the president shows leadership yet to announce his poll numbers will only rise as the Republican Party fights among itself, mocks the DeSantis for being a baby, or when They are not divided, they are united around their hate and that foundation is not even based on facts while they are boycotting Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch over support of the lgbtq community and seeking out Cores. I don't realize that cores also support Community Mark, let's move on to this Fox Dominion case. You know Fox News.

Well, you've spent some time showing up there. I want to think about what they did in the last year. Now they just spent $787 million. that's the fine they have to pay was the price they paid to keep their viewers happy and would they do it again when Fox accurately

call

ed the Arizona election their viewers fled and Newsmax made a calculated decision? This is how we keep our viewers right, of course they did, this was, absolutely, I mean, this is why they solved the case, they made a calculation that at the end of the day, they didn't want their posts out there. air apologizing for telling it. to their viewers what they didn't want to hear and that was the price they paid to continue doing business and I think the interesting thing about this when you look at it all, Stephanie, is that I think there are a lot of people who are frustrated because they didn't go to trial and they wanted get your seat.

Fox got embarrassed and, uh, played this, but if it does, I think the reality is a couple of things, one is I think there will be and at least everyone in the news business, including especially Fox, will be reluctant to spread the kind of lives they spread about the dominion and about January 6 and about the elections. I guess I'm not saying they aren't. I will do it again, but they will be much more careful about it and the other thing that I think is clear is that there is an element that I think we should be satisfied that the truth won, I mean. at the end of the day, they were penalized almost a billion dollars for lying and stuff, and to me, as we go along, we say okay, at least there's a standard here where people can tell the truth and, by the way, if We carry out this trial.

Lawrence raised this point in the last hour, which I thought was good, and we wouldn't have learned much more. They should have reached an agreement before the statements; All we would have had was people taking the stand and just repeating statements that we wouldn't have made if they had been televised or had audio, so it would have been a repeat of what we already know and who knows what the jury would have done, so I think it was a significant deal and a big step towards more truth in the news it's about risk management Max, you have a lot of Fox viewers in your district, will this deal change hearts and minds?

It will if the Democrats really focus on it and repeat this over and over again every At this time when we are faced as a party with Fox News spreading continuous lives, which they will continue to do, and when they are not spreading lies, they are spreading hate, It will be absolutely vital for the Democratic Party to remember the American people, both Republicans and Democrats admitted to lying just so they could try to improve their business and had to pay almost a billion dollars to do so. We have to start fighting the messenger, not just fighting for the message, so this is something that the party should repeat over and over again and then it will have an impact and what we are going to do here is tell them the cold truth every night abroad.
