Ron DeSantis is Coming | The WILD Strategy He's Using.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
the next president of the United States
might come from Florida we've got to
talk a little bit about Ron DeSantis but
also there's a bill now apparently in
Florida's legislature that might end up
Banning bloggers unless they register
with the state if they even so much as
mentioned politicians or the governor
now Twitter is generally a terrible
place for actually getting a deep
information on what's going on but Mr
nude
was trending yesterday here for his
tweet where he wrote the idea that
bloggers criticizing a politician should
register with the government is insane
it is an embarrassment that it is a
Republican state legislator legislature
in Florida legislator in Florida who
introduced the bill to that effect he
should withdraw it immediately and then
of course there's a lot of lashing out
against Newt Gingrich a lot of people
saying things like hey well you're the
reason that the Republican party is like
this and you should take responsibility
you're basically embarrassed to yourself
you get a lot of that sort of drama so
what what I like to do is I like to go
right to the source and I think that's
often actually almost always what's
missing from Twitter uh yeah so jumping
right into the source and then we'll
talk about what Mr DeSantis is up to
take a look at this there actually is a
bill and it's called the ACT relating to
information dissemination and basically
it would require bloggers to register
with the office of legislative services
or the commission of Ethics requiring
bloggers file monthly reports with the
appropriate office by a certain date now
there's some details here that suggest
basically if you're a blogger who gets
paid you're required to to a register so
they Define here what a blogger is
someone who frequently updates uh
opinion commentary or business content a
blogger means any person who submits a
blog post which is published okay great
and it has to be four compensation Asian
but this is pretty broad here
compensation includes anything of value
provided to the Blogger in exchange for
a blog post or series of blog posts now
that's really interesting because I mean
in theory you could say making a YouTube
video is for compensation right because
you get ad Revenue you post a an article
on the medium you get ad Revenue now
YouTube didn't go to me or the medium
doesn't go to people and say please make
an article or a video about DeSantis and
then we'll pay you right so this is a
pretty vaguely written bill because it
doesn't clarify that and it could
potentially mean anyone and obviously
technically Florida only has
jurisdiction over Florida but they don't
say if you don't reside in Florida
you're exempt from this now obviously
the reach of their power their policing
power would not exceed past Florida but
what if what if you make videos about
the scientists in California and then
you go visit Florida you know are you
now we're gonna get fined because
because you're you're somebody who has
blogged and not reported potentially in
Florida's world it's sort of interesting
and so it's it's raising a lot of
eyebrows about the idea that hey like if
compensation is so broad what you're
basically saying is anybody who even
talks about
State uh Representatives uh or the
governor needs to register with the
state of Florida and it's really
starting to feel a little sort of
anti-free speech-esque which is really
odd because generally it's been the
Republican party over the last few years
who's been sort of clamoring for for
free speech uh and then while I don't
think anybody really is anti-free speech
the big divisiveness of on one side it's
hey we got to control this and
misinformation right and on the other
side it's no just let everything free
everything be free right that's been a
pretty political uh and uh politically
divisive talking point and so the idea
that Ron DeSantis government who's
potentially going to do whatever he
needs to get done over this next year at
least that's what sort of researchers
political researchers are saying that
Florida's legislature basically wants to
prop up Ron Santos to potentially become
governor because it would be good for
all of the people in the legislature if
he becomes president he might pick from
that legislature to to have have sort of
a cabinet or build out a cabinet if he
were to become uh president so it's
really interesting that uh you've got on
one hand a lot of this talk about Free
Speech but now you're basically
censoring free speech by forcing monthly
reports on people for any basically
reason for posting a Blog simply if you
comment on the governor or represented
that that seems a little odd at the same
time you have Ron DeSantis who just
visited and this comes after CPAC by the
way which was this weekend where uh
Donald Trump won sort of the straw poll
but but you know that somewhat seemed uh
to be a little bit more uh of a
trump-attended event Ron DeSantis wasn't
there instead Ronda Santos was actually
in California he was actually in my
hometown here in Simi Valley and I
thought that was very interesting uh
Rhonda santis went to the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Library sold about 1300
tickets and he talked about this great
American Exodus from States governed by
leftist politicians and how people are
voting with their feet I mean this is
old news we've been using that phrase
for you know since for a while for
probably for decades quite frankly but
but really heavily since the pandemic
it's hard to argue though that you know
people are solely voting with their feet
because of politics California has
gotten really expensive and in part
because you know California is really
beautiful in terms of like physically uh
you know people are awesome the
weather's cool but the politicians are
loony okay so we know that well but the
Wall Street Journal for example alleges
yeah there's probably a good chance
people are leaving California the ones
who are because of a lack of affordable
housing and hybrid work setups that
really allow you to go from like a three
and two here to like a six bedroom
mansion in Texas uh or even Florida
right so but anyway Rhonda Santos at his
event at Simi uh Simi Valley talked
about of course having empowered people
uh to make a choice as to whether or not
they want to take the vaccine not
enforcing mandates and this is
interesting because early in the
pandemic Rhonda santis was actually a
big proponent of getting vaccinated but
now he's sort of trying to back that
away by saying hey but I was super
anti-mandate and my schools were open
over here right and the Washington Post
interviewed some attendees at the event
who described themselves as trumpers but
they responded and said you know Ron
DeSantis seems like Trump but less
divisive and potentially with a brain
now that I thought that maybe that
obviously that was potentially you know
they picked that one quote because it's
a little extreme uh but uh but uh but
this idea that maybe Ron DeSantis would
be like the diet version of Donald Trump
and maybe a little less divisive is
really interesting because you know it
does seem like there's a chance you'll
have a Ron DeSantis V Trump primary and
then on the other side you might have if
Biden runs you'll probably just have
Biden if Biden doesn't run you'll
probably have like a new sum slash combo
runoff so so we'll see uh but anyway
what's also very interesting it kind of
goes back to sort of how this is all
piecing together is Rhonda Sanders
trying to create The Narrative of
everyone fleeing California which again
to some regards is true but on the other
hand it's really pro-free speech while
you see at the same time also this sort
of almost anti-free speeches bill in
Florida but it's not just that it's also
what's going on with Disney and how
Disney is kind of being used as a pawn
here for desantis's efforts so here's
actually an op-ed piece in the Wall
Street Journal by the man himself Ron
DeSantis himself and he talks about how
on Monday he signed a law ending Disney
self-governing status of over 43 square
miles Disney no longer has its own
government and and really this is
starting to make people reiterate the
idea that man on one hand Ron DeSantis
is all like hey Free Speech Free Speech
Free Speech but then why is your
legislature putting together something
that kind of potentially restricts Free
Speech requiring this registration it's
basically burden right when you put a
burden on speech you essentially
restrict it it's kind of like like hey
you know what we want you to put these
gloves on while you're writing your
paper it's just another step we're not
stopping you from writing but we want
you to go through another step and if
the more steps we put on you then the
more inconvenient it is the less likely
you produce content right that's usually
how it works so it's not really
eliminating the opportunity to speak but
it is restricting that someone and a lot
of this drama we're seeing about Disney
is also about Free Speech see Disney and
and Ronda Santos obviously talks about
this in here and I'll go a little bit
into more depth but basically he talks
about how hey look uh if you go whoa go
broke go to Florida uh and and wokeness
dies like Florida is the place where
wokeness goes to die is essentially what
Ron DeSantis argues and uh he says it
here we are making Florida the state
where the economy flourishes because we
are the state where woke goes to die and
he makes this argument that corporations
should not involve themselves in
politics and that basically Disney uh
ended up uh you know we're challenging
this idea uh that uh that Florida was
going to put up the essentially don't
say gay bill now that phrase is not
actually in the bill it's just how
everybody knows it that's the
politically popular way of talking about
it basically says hey we don't want
sexual education for people under a
certain age children under a certain age
like five-year-olds shouldn't be talked
to about basically sexual education or
gender orientation or gender identity
and Disney had long been silent on that
uh but uh generally what you find is
silence these days and 2023 is deemed to
be sort of permission uh and so this is
where Rhonda Santos argues look they
took a stand they took a stand that was
anti-mybill and now we're punishing them
for that now in my opinion that's
somewhat slamming Disney from a free
speech point of view right like if
corporations are allowed to have a voice
which they are allowed to have a voice
obviously then they should be able to
speak freely without fear of punishment
the idea that that then uh you know
potentially Rhonda Santa starts
restricting rights from the same I think
is somewhat interesting because it
basically sends a signal to any business
in Florida hey if you don't align with
our policies we'll find a way to screw
you now how whether or not you agree
with the don't say gay does not matter
here like don't get me wrong I got a
five and seven year old and they don't
need to hear about gender identity or
gay or or or anything they're way too
young for that okay five and seven year
old no okay let's wait until like at
least fifth grade police or like middle
school or you know High School obviously
is just fine but but like young children
no uh so so again I'm not making a a
sand here that Ron DeSantis and the
don't say gay bill is wrong or right
it's not the case at all if anything I
think it makes a lot of sense but the
idea that DeSantis is sort of building
his campaign on to some degree silencing
some form of speech in my opinion sort
of runs counter to the Republican ideal
of no no no all free speech right
because in essence you're trying to
restrict bloggers and in essence you are
trying to restrict businesses from
taking a stand now of course you might
say oh well Disney has no place to be
taking a stand but wait isn't that
restricting Free Speech right so uh now
what I also think is very interesting is
Rhonda santis goes on to say the
following here Disney's special
Arrangement which dates back to 1967 was
an indefensible example of corporate
welfare now this I think is remarkable
indefensible example of corporate
welfare I'll let him keep going and then
I'll respond to that it provided the
company with favorable tax treatment
including the ability to assess its own
property valuations and enjoy benefits
of regional infrastructure improvements
without paying taxes towards the project
it Exempted Disney from Florida's
building and Fire Prevention codes it
even allowed Disney to build a nuclear
power plant and to use eminent domain to
seize property outside the district's
boundaries while the districts are
common in Florida Disney's deal was
conspicuous and the massive benefits and
cons it conferred okay so first of all
it's really worth understanding what
happened here okay because this right
here makes it sound like the scientist
is coming in on on you know basically a
white horse and saying how dare Disney
wield all this power we will take it
back but you have to remember what
Orlando was before 1967. folks it was
nothing it was swampland that's it in
fact much of Florida still today is
swamp and that's not a distant Florida I
spent 16 years growing up in Florida I
love Florida I'll actually be at Florida
later this week but this idea that oh uh
you know you know we got to take back
all that was given to Disney Disney
created Orlando Disney built its own
fire department police station it built
its uh the parks and this idea that
Disney used its eminent domain to seize
private property let's hold on for a
moment Disney's eminent domain power
actually LED Disney to preserve a lot of
the natural forestry that's around
Disney because they wanted that that on
purpose to make the whole Disney World
area feel as sort of natural as possible
now don't get me wrong yeah there are
going to be cases where certain land was
transformed into potentially a parking
lot duh but then again it was all a
swamp but when you go to Disney World or
even you fly into Orlando you're like
damn a lot of trees over here it's not
like Disney leveled everything also this
idea that Disney uh you know was allowed
to build a nuclear reactor that's true
because Disney takes a lot of power but
they never ended up building their own
nuclear reactor and even if they did
that would be better than what we have
today which is a natural gas power plant
instead of a nuclear reactor now Florida
does have its own nuclear reactors which
is great but remember what Disney was
supposed to be Disney was supposed to be
the experimental prototype community of
tomorrow that stands for Epcot right it
was supposed to be a futuristic city
that would be home to 20 000 residents
in an area that they're never there
never used to be people so Disney World
needed to move fast they needed to build
roads Emergency Services you utilities
Disney did that they built the levees
they built the drainage system yes did
other parts of Florida end up hooking up
to those projects and benefit from that
economic impact of course but Rhonda
santis I mean we got to look at the
numbers I wrote down some of them over
here Disney is Disney's a huge part of
Florida I mean look at Oxford econ
Oxford economics from I used before the
pandemic just because of the some of the
2022 numbers aren't available uh yet and
if you go into 21 in 2020 things are
very skewed by the pandemic so I just
wanted to look at 2019 since we're
likely to Trend back to that Trend as
most things are in business but look at
2019 Disney World had a 75.2 billion
dollar economic impact on Florida
Florida's GDP is just under 1 trillion
dollars that means
Disney World itself sets up about 7.7
percent of Florida's entire GDP
4.5 percent of the people who work in
Florida work for Disney World or are
somehow employed as a contractor by
Disney or work for Disney in in some
regard
and 5.8 billion dollars of Florida's tax
revenue or 15.9 percent comes from
Disney World so I find it really
interesting and and I kind of have a a
conclusion to all of this so so first of
all you have this this uh uh you know
the speech bill right restricting a
speech in Florida then you have this
sort of Disney removing basically their
policing Powers which policing powers
include building and safety and
infrastructure and everything blah blah
blah right so you have the speech build
and you have Disney uh then you have
this idea of uh woke goes to die in
Florida so my take on this my take uh is
that right now in society we do have a
very split United States right now on
one hand we have this idea that uh
everything has turned woke although the
idea of woke has really become extreme
right woke used to just be awareness
right it used to be uh aware so you were
sort of aware maybe of privileges or
differences right this has now gone to
the extreme right so there's the extreme
version and then there's sort of the the
normal version of this uh and then what
you have happening in Florida is really
you've gone to the anti uh woke extreme
and so that's really the fight of what I
think is the 2024 election and what
we're going to see a lot of you're going
to basically have an argument of the
extreme versus the extreme now
personally I hate that because I think
the vast majority of Americans sort of
sit in the middle like yeah look some
things over here make sense some things
over here make sense that doesn't make
sense that doesn't make sense and I
personally think that Disney and the
speech Bill have really just sort of
become pawns to the idea of reiterating
this extreme because that seems to be
what's probably most popular for
Republican uh candidates right now and
so I don't actually think anything
practically is going to change at Disney
in fact Disney World Florida has a board
that controls the sort of the Reedy
Creek district and Rhonda santis can now
sort of put his puppets on that board
but the reality is Florida probably or
Disney World kind of is already built
out what they're going to build out
right now that's not to say that well
they won't want to continue to develop
but like these special powers really
mattered when they were going from Swamp
to something now it doesn't matter so
much anymore so in my opinion both of
these things aren't really going to
change anything they're just examples of
what DeSantis is trying to use to build
up his platform to really fight Donald
Trump so I think that's very interesting
uh you know somebody here uh Brett says
anti-woke equals let me continue being a
bigot no I I don't agree with that you
know I I think if if somebody I mean
like maybe we say the uh anti-extreme
would be the more the better way to put
that right like I don't think somebody
is a bigot for saying I don't want my
five-year-old uh to be taught about
gender identity right I don't think
that's uh being a bigot I think that's
you know trying to be reasonable but of
course we could go down the Spectrum and
go well at some point uh we probably all
agree with things you know it's it's
funny like I I'll have I'll have a drink
where the people of totally random and
totally different political ideologies
you know extreme uh people on like the
super super far left or the super far
right or super libertarian or or
whatever and I'll tell you we usually
even though people identify as
potentially Super One Thing most people
are relatively reasonable it's
surprising I'm not saying everyone don't
get me wrong right uh but uh it it is
really really interesting I think that's
fascinating so uh this election cycle is
going to be incredible somebody here
says Kevin contradicts himself he says
that this is an example of anti-working
extremism in one breath and it says
won't really matter in the big picture
how is that extreme okay so what I'm
saying is so I'm not contradicting
myself actually you're just reiterating
what I'm saying what I'm saying is
anti-woke extremism is punishing
Disney's free speech and taking away uh
their policing Powers really that's
that's the way it's being put up on a
pedestal oh you go woke you go broke but
the reality is this probably isn't going
to affect Disney at all in fact I would
not be surprised if Ron DeSantis picked
up the phone talked to Bob Iger who just
took over a CEO again said look man I'm
gonna put some puppets in you guys just
keep doing you but I'm gonna go I'm
gonna go use this as a political tool to
show everybody that you don't mess with
Ron DeSantis you know that's what I'm
saying so uh so maybe there's just a
misunderstanding in how I explained that
but uh you know I I don't think uh I
think it's almost a little bit like a
Florida style virtue signaling dare I
say right like it's not really going to
make a difference to Disney World
but it does help a sort of prop up his
game now don't get me wrong I don't dis
I want to be very clear here because
sometimes I make these these videos and
people think oh so you hate DeSantis no
it's not what I'm saying like personally
from what I'm seeing I would probably
much prefer a DeSantis over like a Gavin
Newsom who gives stimulus checks during
an inflationary era and can't save
homeless people or contribute to mental
health for the life of them and doesn't
seem to care about financial education
in schools in fact Rob DeSantis past it
was one of the first States and one of
the first Governors to pass a bill
demand a requiring Financial Fitness
basically Financial education in schools
that's something that I ran a campaign
on for governor in 2020. so completely
agree by the way I think so I think it's
very very interesting uh very very
interesting and definitely worth talking
about so those are some of my thoughts
but hey I'll look for your thoughts in
the comments somebody here writes people
are fact phobic
well that's honestly I think you
watching videos on Twitter is extremely
smart like like me or hate me you
watching videos on uh if I said Twitter
I'm on YouTube you watching videos on
YouTube is extremely smart because this
is where you can actually have more of a
dialogue and get deeper into topics
whereas on Twitter I mean go go back to
what we saw with the the Newt Gingrich
stuff or whatever the the stuff is just
extreme like absolutely extreme people
like the messaging doesn't really tell
you anything about what's going on right
I mean we just made you know a 10 15
minute segment here on Florida politics
where Newt makes one comment and people
bash them like crazy uh and nobody
actually knows what's going on right so
I I'm a big fan of that sort of
perspective but uh you have to sort of
seek that out otherwise you kind of stay
uh you stay uninformed hey thanks so
much for watching and subscribing as
well as sharing the videos in case
you've enjoyed it make sure to consider
