Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / DESANTIS To Announce Presidential Run Live On Twitter With Elon Musk
Transcript
- 0:00So it has long been speculated on as to whether Governor Ronda Santis from Florida
- 0:05is going to run for president in twenty twenty four, and apparently we need
- 0:09not speculate any longer. And I'll just read the headline breaking Florida Governor Ronda
- 0:15Santis will announce he is running for president during a discussion with Twitter CEO Elon
- 0:21Musk on Twitter spaces and announcing this on Twitter. It's a very interesting choice,
- 0:27isn't it. It's a symbolic choice as Twitter is seen as the only
- 0:33big tech free speech platform now, even though it's not perfect with free speech,
- 0:37I'm aware of that, but it's a lot better than the other ones
- 0:40in Facebook or YouTube. You know. It's also a story, so it'll
- 0:45get more pressed because this is different. This is something different from what we
- 0:49usually see. So I think this is from a marketing perspective, a good
- 0:53idea. Now. The media, of course, has been portraying Elon Musk's
- 0:57Twitter, the Twitter two point zero, whatever you want to call it's been
- 1:00portraying it as this new den of hate of it's far right. It's become
- 1:04a far right echo chamber or something. They hate it because they can't just
- 1:08get everybody they don't like canceled off it anymore, says. The discussion between
- 1:14DeSantis and Musk is set to begin at six pm on Twitter Spaces, the
- 1:18social media sites platform for audio chats, and will be moderated by tech entrepreneur
- 1:23David Sachs, who is both a Descantist supporter and a personal friend to the
- 1:29Twitter CEO. Now they're saying it's expected, it's expected that he will launch
- 1:33his campaign, So I guess it's not an absolute certainty quite yet, but
- 1:38it looks pretty obvious that's probably what he's going to do. I mean,
- 1:41he's going to be visiting battleground states next week. He's already been on a
- 1:46book tour and has visited New Hampshire and Iowa, the two early primary and
- 1:51caucus states. And Musk has stated his support for DeSantis and said last year
- 1:56that he would support a Dessantist bid if he were to run for president in
- 2:00twenty twenty four. It looks pretty obvious what's going to happen here. Now.
- 2:04The big question is does it matter because is it all wrapped up for
- 2:07Trump anyway? Now? Personally I like Trump and a Santists either would be
- 2:13infinitely better than Biden, who's hard at work destroying the world apparently, or
- 2:17is asleep most of the time, while the people who put the words onto
- 2:22is teleprompter are busy trying to destroy the world. But again, does any
- 2:25of it really matter, because we'll take a look at this primary poll.
- 2:29I mean, here's you got Trump today with fifty three point five percent,
- 2:32the Santists with twenty point eight percent. So does Trump just have it locked
- 2:37up anyway? I don't know. I mean, things can change, It's
- 2:39politics. Anything can happen. I know there are a lot of people who
- 2:44prefer to Santists just because they really doesn't have the baggage. But but honestly,
- 2:47the press, the press that gave a Trump ninety five percent negative coverage,
- 2:52they're going to give him baggage. They'll lie, they'll say whatever they
- 2:55have to. I mean, they're not pretending to be objective anymore, right,
- 3:00CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, they're not pretending. Washington Post,
- 3:02they're not pretending anymore. Right. You know, they're leading the parade
- 3:07now. I mean, they actually already started their smear campaign against the Santis
- 3:12long ago. He're from MSNBC. This is a year ago. Florida Governor
- 3:16Ronda Santis is a far more dangerous politician than Donald Trump, says, like
- 3:23Trump, DeSantis's time and office would be marked by attempts to pit Americans against
- 3:27one another. Don't forget whenever you see something from one of these activist organizations
- 3:31like MSNBC, the truth is the opposite of what they say. Everything is
- 3:35projection because they never say that Biden's trying to pit Americans against each other.
- 3:39What he calls everybody who disagrees with them a white supremacist. But anyway,
- 3:44this is just an example they've They've already started the smear job. It's not
- 3:47like they're gonna like Ronda Santis any more than they like Trump. They're gonna
- 3:52go after them just as hard. I think the only difference is is that
- 3:54perhaps in the way that de Santis will respond, and so far, I
- 4:00think the Santis has proven himself to be tough in his response to just clear
- 4:03bias and attacks without kind of losing decorum. I guess you could say,
- 4:11like, as an example, he's not going to call anybody horse face.
- 4:15But on the other side of that, primary voters know who Trump is,
- 4:18and they know that he's going to try and do the things that he says
- 4:21he wants to do, so there is that trust aspect there, and also
- 4:26there's a sense that what has happened to him as being so unjust has been
- 4:30so corrupt that there would be a justice in Trump being reelected and then actually
- 4:38draining the swamp what he wasn't able to do the first time. The first
- 4:42time, the swamp drained him. But anyway, as we know when politics,
- 4:45unexpected things can happen. Nothing is written in stone, and we'll just
- 4:49have to wait and see how things pan out. Anyway, please subscribe,
- 4:53like and share. Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for that.
- 4:55I will see you next time. Two
