Ron DeSantis Self Destructs | Donald Trump HUMILIATION.

historical lens that we've put on

politics and business that's a weird

that's weird usually when you know

companies complain about governments

being anti-business it's things like you

know uh the pushback in New York City

that kept Amazon from building its

headquarters here I mean it's it's on

the other side of the spectrum so I

think the show is just like how toxic

this has become this is not about

economics uh Governor DeSantis is

willing to foist higher taxes onto his

own constituents to prove a point and

Disney is willing to pay higher taxes to

keep control of its business and keep it

out of the hands of a government yeah

but keep in mind Disney has just pulled

a fast one on Ron DeSantis and the

DeSantis camp that even though this is

this fight between Ronnie D and Disney

feels very politicized and political in

nature Ron DeSantis is now lashing out

because he's calling for an

investigation into quote last minute

changes made by the outgoing Disney

appointed board members basically what

happened is Ron DeSantis was busy being

political with his administration making

the argument that we're gonna fight woke

and we're gonna fight and punish Disney

and then while he's making those public

arguments Disney at a public board

meeting voted to extend many rights to

Disney's ability to basically

self-govern for the next 30 Years 30

more years Disney just gave itself in a

public board meeting

to protect itself from Ron DeSantis now

mainstream media Outlets like the

financial times and New York Times are

jumping on the bandwagon suggesting Ron

DeSantis is humiliated he is now on one

hand trying to show how tough he is but

he's so tough that he got publicly juked

and outplayed by Disney now look I'm a

big fan for some healthy competition for

Donald Trump but unfortunately Ronnie D

here taking an L with Disney while

trying to act tough will do the opposite

for his campaign and actually just

enhance Donald Trump's because people

have the impression that Donald Trump

isn't going to stop until he gets what

he wants and this might be a dead end

for Ron DeSantis so if I had any

personal advice for Ron DeSantis it

would be twofold number one you gotta

fix this Disney problem maybe come to a

negotiated solution or something now I'm

going to explain the problem in just a

moment but another piece of advice

all of this led the CEO of Disney to

call Ron DeSantis anti-business let's

get some reaction after listening to

that clip from Ron DeSantis and let's

get some reaction from some Talking

Heads and then add our own commentary

and it thwartz those efforts simply to

retaliate for a position The company

took sounds not just anti-business but

it sounds anti-florida and I'll just

leave it at that columnist and CNBC

contributor Jim Stewart and Puck senior

political correspondent Tara palmeri

great to have you both on and staying up

late we appreciate it Jim your take on

this you literally wrote the book on

Disney where does this end well I'm not

I'm not surprised this thing has flared

up again but it is at least so far this

is mostly a war of words and symbolism

yes DeSantis move to strip control of

the local board but in the great scheme

of things I think that could actually

save Disney some money in in the long

run you know much bigger Stakes here are

the fact that Disney employs many many

thousands of people in the State of

Florida and just in 2021 announced that

it was moving another few thousand there

including the imagineers and Florida was

giving them about 570 million in tax

incentives now the status has not yet

done anything about that nor has Disney

said well we're not going to do it that

would be I guess kind of like you know

Putin dropping a tactical nuclear bomb

or something I mean at that point it

would become something with real

economic repercussions

you know Tara what this seems to be

honestly we're putting it as Disney

versus DeSantis I just have a feeling

that Disney's lawyers appear to be a lot

better than Florida's lawyers so yeah

I'd agree I mean to me Rhonda Santa

seems extremely flat-footed

um this reminds me of the migrants that

he shipped from um Texas the border to

Martha's Vineyard you know there was a

headline grabbing stunt a political

stunt but there was really no

follow-through the fact that they didn't

realize at the Reedy Creek board had

even changed the rules back in February

before he put his own board in just

showed that they weren't really doing

their due diligence I also think it's

really interesting to see that um iger's

language is much stronger than Bob

chaffix and you know he's calling the

Santa's anti-florida he's really you

know getting in it with him that's a

good I mean Tara that's a good I mean

whatever you think that's a good line I

mean whoever side you're on that's a

good line

yeah but I also wonder if it Flex the

fact that DeSantis is becoming weaker

politically the fact that he would

become so aggressive or if this is just

Igor Style versus chapex but it just

seems to me like he's ready to take this

antis on head on and the tone has

changed and it also just happens to

coincide with the fact that the statuses

poll numbers are slipping right now the

fact that he's had a lot of stumbles on

the national stage you know the fact

that he's wobbling on Trump's indictment

politically he's suffering and it's

interesting to see him being attacked

um not just politically but also by you

know corporate Disney

so we're gonna stop that one there worth

thinking about that though for a moment

really there's this setup that

potentially Ron DeSantis is weakening in

the at the same time as Donald Trump is

potentially strengthening here's that

New York Times piece just so you can see

it where a Disney basically responded to

losing control of its board by the month

before losing control basically voting

with the now lame duck board to restrict

the power of the new board and give

Disney several exclusive rights that

could last as long as 30 or even more

years in certain circumstances so Disney

really outplaying Ron DeSantis here and

this now leading to a lot of folks

wondering did Ron DeSantis just get

embarrassed on a national stage it is

Ron DeSantis somebody who was considered

a potential front-runner as Donald Trump

was kind of screaming in a corner in

this 2024 a political election cycle did

Rhonda sand has now become the kids

screaming in a quarter and banging his

head against the wall as Donald Trump's

uh you know indictment has made him

potentially 10 times more of a news

subject than he was beforehand and now

the only remaining sort of legacy of

DeSantis is this mistake of of trying to

appear tough against Disney yet actually

getting outplayed by Disney I kind of

think I think about it like the the

person who uh who's winning the uh I'm

sure you've seen these before you know

those marathon races where you get like

the uh the runner who's running and

they're getting right to the end and

they're like yeah I won and then they

they're so focused on how they're

winning that they don't even realize

their Challenger is running up right

behind them and ends up passing them

right at the last second at which point

it's too late for that person to respond

anymore that's kind of how I view this

this DeSantis Disney dispute although

he's been getting hit pretty hard hard

in various different areas not only the

Disney issue he got hit for at first

kind of nearly kicking Trump while he

was down by making fun of the hush money

potentially to uh Stormy Daniels

argument that he was making on top of

that and this was when he was at a press

conference and Ron DeSantis basically uh

said ah you know I wouldn't know

anything about paying hush money to a

porn star

I don't know what goes into paying hush

money to a porn star to to secure

silence over some type of alleged Affair

I just I can't speak to that and that

was seen as a low blow uh by many as

well as his response to Ukraine calling

it a territorial dispute while the

United States has many vital national

interests becoming further entangled in

a territorial dispute between Ukraine

and Russia is not one of them Ron

DeSantis as a member of the House in the

Obama Administration we in the Congress

have been urging the president I've been

to provide arms to Ukraine they want to

fight their good fight they're not

asking us to fight it for them and the

president has steadfastly refused and I

think that's a mistake so a flip-flop

instead Ron DeSantis has walked back

those comments but look at how different

those comments from Rhonda santosar to

Donald Trump and this isn't me taking

aside it's just trying to report some of

the differences between the two

candidates because they're pretty dang

Stark and for well unfortunately for Ron

DeSantis Donald Trump probably takes a

win on this one what do you think here

we go through weakness and incompetence

Joe Biden has brought us to the brink of

World War III we're at the brink of

World War III just in case anybody

doesn't know it as president I will

bring back peace through strength peace

through strength would have never

happened

If I Was President there would not have

been a war with Russia in Ukraine zero

chance that Lindsay would be happy I

will say this even now despite

tremendous loss of lives and destruction

of much of that country I would have a

peace deal negotiated within 24 hours

you could make a peace deal you could

make a deal obviously Donald Trump's

probably not going to be able to end

anything in 24 hours including lots of

lawsuits and other headaches and

problems but at least it shows the

motivation the hope the desire and the

urgency something that Ron DeSantis did

not do all these things really painting

Trump is very different from DeSantis

right on one hand you're painting Trump

as not able to be beaten down by uh by

the system whereas the Santa's just got

beat by Disney essentially you have

Trump who's taking this very tough on

Ukraine and Russia approach saying it's

so important that we need to prevent

World War III he'll do whatever he needs

to do to get a negotiated settlement as

soon as possible whereas Santos

initially called it a territorial

dispute before walking that back so

you're seeing some very clear

differences between the two candidates

uh you're also I mean even Ben Mala whom

I've interviewed on the channel the real

estate guy he's a he's a big fan of

believing that one of the big

differences between Trump and DeSantis

is that Trump inspires hope and really

motivates people to vote whereas maybe

DeSantis less so

uh White House obviously always

criticizes the Republicans at the moment

the White House apparently has now

condemned DeSantis for signing into a

law that would allow residents to carry

concealed carry guns without a permit

it's kind of like what California is

trying to do except in California

anybody can get a concealed carry

license is the way that they're labeling

it you just basically can't carry it

anywhere yeah I think the only like you

can't carry it at parks public events

schools libraries retail establishments

that don't explicitly have a sign saying

you're allowed to carry in their store

so yeah okay good job California anyway

DeSantis signing a right to carry law

basically and uh the White House calling

that shameful and the opposite of Common

Sense gun safety uh in under the new law

anyone who legally owns a gun in Florida

can carry it without a permit and

training and a background check are not

required to carry a gun in public in

Florida anymore

fascinating big differences there in

Florida from certainly States like New

York or California so this sends you an

update on DeSantis I'd have to say in

summary here

probably aren't going

fairly well for DeSantis now but I think

it's way too soon to count anybody out

in this election cycle especially since

you still got to get to actual debates

you got to get to election year which

election year is still a year away a lot

could change by then Donald Trump could

be totally free or it could be in jail

or what's more likely is we'll just

still be twiddling our thumbs watching

court cases and we'll see how DeSantis

handles next year we'll see
