Are the Ron DeSantis “protesters” staged?

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..
