| What did you think about how DeSantis – I mean this is a big topic too, how – I guess DeSantis versus the former president. | |
| What did you think about what he said? | |
| Dude, I thought – again, I saw the flip-flop on Ukraine where it was like he tried sort of taking the Trump approach, like maybe he wore bad and then like the donors – Dude, there's a difference. | |
| So what did he say? He was against it first? | |
| He was against it. He sort of took a weak Trump stance on it. | |
| And then he was like, well, we must stop it. | |
| Putin is an evil dictator. It's like, holy shit, your donors got to you. | |
| And that's the difference. | |
| That's what's good about Trump. | |
| And perhaps that's what's good about it. Even if Trump, in 24, Trump is like a lame duck and just go in and break all that shit up. | |
| You're not trying to get reelected again. | |
| You can just do everything that you need to do. | |
| They're like, holy shit, this is scary and bullshit. | |
| It's not really a big issue. | |
| You're talking about the case against Trump. | |
| I'm talking about the lack of comments on it, right? | |
| Really? You mean, to me, as a conservative, as a Republican, as someone who's been in those crosshairs, that's probably one of the biggest issues we face as a country. | |
| You see Matt Taibbi, the guy who's the reporter who broke all the Twitter files about what happened during the election before. | |
| Yesterday, he testified before the Weaponization of Congress Committee, Jim Jordan and those guys. | |
| And the day he does that, the IRS goes and raids his home. | |
| We still think that's a coincidence. | |
| I don't believe in coincidence anymore. | |
| So if you can't call out Like literally the weaponization of governmental institutions against your citizens. | |
| Come on, guys. So, DeSantis has, like, big donors. | |
| Like, the former president's donors, was that all just raised by, like, individuals and stuff? | |
| Yeah, well, no, you have big donors on all sides, but we did a big, you know, we had probably the greatest small-dollar donor campaign in the history of America, right? | |
| You know, blue-collar Americans, you know, like, $33 average kind of donation, you know? | |
| And you can see, you just look up the stats, right? | |
| The people donating to other sides, you know, this guy's worth $9.12 billion. | |
| You know what? They want a president when they call It's fucking crazy, man. We're going to be tough on China, but not if it cost me an extra cent in my widget. | |
| You know what I mean? These sorts of things. | |
| There's a lot of hypocrisy there. | |
| So they know Trump doesn't really need them. | |
| Trump doesn't sort of look the same way. | |
| DeSantis, who's a career politician, guess what? | |
| He needs that money. And guess what? | |
| He needs that money again to further the goal and again. | |
| And so he's got to act. | |
| When they say jump, he says how high. | |
| And that's the nature of politics. | |
| It's why they went after Trump so hard, in my opinion, because they don't want other people who don't need them in power. | |
| Of course. Right? They don't want that. | |
| They want to show an example. | |
| Like, this is what happens. Like, you have a good life. | |
| You're a fucking billionaire. You can do whatever the hell you want. | |
| Like, do you really want this shit? | |
| Because we're coming after you, too. | |
| And so when you see that weaponization and you're not willing to call it out, guess what? | |
| They'll do it to him. If DeSantis ever becomes the guy or any other Republican ever becomes the guy, it's easy when you're trying to pit someone against Trump because they'll do whatever they can to help you so you can take out Trump. | |
| When you're the guy, That's a whole different world. | |
| That's a whole different story. And if that's the way you're going to handle it when they're doing it, you know, generally speaking, how are you going to do when you're in the big show? | |
| That's crazy. Because he obviously is doing a good job with Florida and the way he handled COVID I liked. | |
| But it is interesting now when I saw you say that, yeah, he just has a bunch of big donors and he might be sold to them. | |
| Yeah, you know, when Paul Ryan's going out and endorsing and, you know, Jeff Rowe comes and runs his super pack and Karl Rove is the out there, like... | |
| Really? You want another Bush administration? | |
| That's fine. If you want the Bushes, you can have that. | |
| That's a great avenue for you. | |
| But that's what it's been proven. | |
| You can hire a bunch of influencers to clip you dunking on some local reporter and make it go viral. | |
| Doesn't mean that's real. |
