Speaker 1: Many of you wrote to me in the last 24
hours with video clips from Ron DeSantis events. And every single one of you wrote to me for the
same reason you feel that these protesters that are popping up at the Santas events are staged,
that there's something about him that doesn't take place. And then I got a video of a woman saying
that she's in tears. Why are they always crying in tears over how great DeSantis is, even though she
was a Trump supporter for a while? We're going to look at these clips. Now, I want to be crystal
clear. I am not alleging that I know these are staged protesters or staged people in the crowd.
There is reason to wonder because, number one, these protesters always lead to DeSantis saying
the same thing about, we're going to protect kids and we're going to not going to let you do
whatever to kids. The former Trump supporter person is weird because the Trump supporters don't
really care about DeSantis.
DeSantis is dying. His campaign is crumbling. They fired a dozen staffers
and we'll talk about it later. So the idea that all of these Trump supporters are just so overcome
with emotion about how great DeSantis is that they feel the need to go into to tell them at events
how great he is. None of it seems super genuine, and it certainly could be staged and planted.
And we know that campaigns sometimes do this. Now we're going to look at the clips.
One other quick little thing. Yesterday, someone wrote me about Ron DeSantis. I don't
know whether this was a typo or whether they were joking around. And this is their new nickname
for Ron. Ron, wrong for Ron DeSantis. They wrote Ron DeSantis. And when I saw it, I just started
laughing. I have no idea whether it was just a typo or whether they want the guy to go by
desanctis. It seems maybe misogynistic, so I don't know that we're going to go with it. But I
did have a little laugh to myself yesterday. All right.
So let's go to the video. Here is another
one of these solo protesters. DeSantis always yells at them with the same line about, we're
going to protect kids, we're going to protect kids. You tell me whether this feels authentic.
Remember, there is a there's an actor strike right now. So really, these should not be actors.
Speaker 2: I have something to say to him. Why don't you focus on spending
more time with your granddaughter in Arkansas? At least acknowledge you.
Speaker 1: All right. So now the protester is standing up behind
us and the security is rushing over.
Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah. Before you worry about our children. And they shouldn't be worrying about
our children either. We don't want you indoctrinating our children. Leave our kids.
Speaker 1: Alone. Okay. So he yells at the protester to leave their kids alone.
This is a very similar to the lone protester last month in South Carolina.
And again, these it even Desantis's reaction seems
so forced and staged. So I get it. We don't know that that's what's going on. But it's
interesting that so many of you felt that it was. Unidentified: We're not going to let
you impose an agenda on our kids. Speaker 1: We're going to.
Unidentified: Stand up for our kids.
We're going to make sure to do it
right. That's what we're going to do. Speaker 1: There you go. So whenever the lone
protester stands up, DeSantis tells them, We're not going to let you get our kids.
We're not going to let you ruin our kids. Here's another video. This is from the event
yesterday. And here is where a woman that she says she's been a hardcore Trump supporter,
she stood up and said DeSantis is doing great. And she's she's almost she's almost in tears.
Listen to this. Tell me if this is authentic. Speaker 3: From President Trump, comes from all
the despair, all the things that he stands for as served as our president of the United
States and the media that can tell him. But all the things I'm thinking more with
my heart and my soul and my love for him and for this country.
But meanwhile, this is
the most important vote that we're going to have. And I have to think more with my mind
and what it says to this country and that. Speaker 1: She is overcome with emotion over
her support for DeSantis, despite having voted for Trump with her heart. She's now using
her mind to vote for the sanctimonious. Speaker 3: Excellent job.
Unidentified: And I thought one of those wild one way.
Speaker 1: Really powerful. Unidentified: And. In my view.
Speaker 2: I appreciate what President Trump did, how they treated him and things like
Russia. Collusion was is so unfairly press and and he was treated wrong and he was treated
in ways that were unconstitutional. Right. But here's the thing. The question for us now is
what are we going to do about it? And we need to end the weaponization of government.
Speaker 1: All right. Anyway, Ron. Okay. Very good.
Speaker 2: I did everything. Speaker 3: Right and they indicted me.
Speaker 1: They indicted me. I would love for some journalist to follow up
with some of these folks after the fact and actually figure out, like, what is their back
story? Are they real? Are they they're doing these staged different little things so everybody
can judge it for themselves.
I don't really know what I think. Here's something that is important
to keep in mind. For many of us because of the way we engage in politics. Many of us don't
idolize these elected officials. They're just people. And I've met so many of them and sat
around with them. They are really just people, and most of them are not insanely impressive.
You know, people like Barack Obama are sort of different in that sense. You incredibly impressive
from in person in a way that is different. Most of that you just meet. You're like, oh, well, that's
kind of kind of weird in a lot of ways. Anyway, for a lot of us, it's hard to imagine
being overcome with emotion in this way just because you're like, Oh, I voted for Trump,
but the Santos was so inspiring.
And we're like, Now it's just like, okay, are you is Biden better
than Trump? Okay, I'll vote for Biden and then I'll go on with my life. And I don't idolize the
guy. So we are at our nature less likely to find this sort of thing authentic. And so it feels
staged. But let's be open to the possibility that for people who are much more cultist in nature,
they really may be overcome with emotion in this way. That and maybe it is legitimate. I don't
know. I will leave it for you to judge. We're going to take the quickest of quick breaks.
We
reached 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube. We're pushing to 1.9 to eventually burst through
the door. The glass ceiling of 2 million. Make sure you're subscribed on YouTube. We're
going to take a quick break and then the show continues. You know, as much as I get messages
from haters that, Oh, you must be funded by George Soros or whatever the case may be, we actually
aren't. And many right wing media outlets like the David Pakman Show are funded by Millionaire and
Millionaire and even billionaire right wingers. We don't have that. The left is in a different
situation. We actually depend directly on your support. We try to make that support an
appealing thing. So we do an extra show every day for our paid members. We offer a commercial
free audio and video stream of the show. We have a soundboard like the one I have here.
Speaker 2: We're doing a class action lawsuit against all machines.
Speaker 1: We have a sound board available on the member website for
our members and so many other great things.
I invite you to sign
up and support the work we do, especially as we're really entering an election
period that is going to be particularly fraught and I would argue the most important in a very
long time. Sign up it joined Pacman dot com. It really is the most direct, explosive and exciting
way to support what we do. And you know what? If you don't like this show that much but
there's other left wing shows you like, support them.
The point is let's understand
the way the right funds, independent media and the way that the left doesn't fund
it. And that explains why we depend on support from people like you. So we really do
everything we can to make membership as easy and as great an experience as possible and
join back. Mint.com is the place to sign up..
