Ron DeSantis is the governor of the
[1]
state of Florida we're delighted to have
[3]
him join us tonight Governor thanks so
[4]
much for coming in I have to say you're
[5]
one of the only politicians I've ever
[7]
seen at so many republican governors in
[9]
red States really are some of the
[10]
weakest people in the country have caved
[11]
you have not caved you've really tried
[13]
to explain what this bill is about if
[14]
you'll just do it quickly for us once
[16]
again what is this bill
[19]
well this bill is about providing
[20]
protection so that they know they can
[22]
send their young kids to school without
[24]
them being sexualized without a school
[27]
telling a young girl for example that
[29]
she may really be a boy and if schools
[32]
are trying to do things that impact the
[35]
health and well-being of the kids and
[37]
their their undertaking certain services
[38]
that parents have a right to know that
[40]
and provide consent for it so this is a
[43]
real bill that empowers parents it
[45]
protects our kids and for a company like
[47]
Disney to say that they this bill should
[50]
have never passed first of all Tucker
[51]
they weren't saying anything when this
[53]
was going through the house they only
[54]
started doing this because the mob the
[57]
woke mob came after him but put that
[58]
aside for them to say that them as a
[62]
california-based company are going to
[64]
work to take those California values and
[68]
overturn a law that was duly enacted and
[71]
as you said supported by a strong
[73]
majority of Floridians they don't run
[75]
this state they will never run this
[78]
state as long as I'm gov Governor yeah
[80]
they haven't improved Orlando I noticed
[81]
why don't they throw some money into
[82]
downtown Orlando and help the people who
[84]
live there I have to ask you this since
[85]
you're on the topic of Disney journalist
[87]
Chris Ruffo has really done a lot has
[89]
just obtained a video of an all hands
[90]
meeting at Disney the meeting was in
[92]
response to the legislation you signed
[94]
in Florida here is Disney corporate
[97]
president Carrie Burke watch this
[100]
I'm here as a mother of two queer
[103]
children actually
[105]
um uh one transgender child
[108]
um
[108]
and one pansexual child
[111]
um and and also as a leader many many
[114]
many
[115]
lgbtqia characters
[117]
in our stories and and and yet we don't
[121]
have enough leads
[124]
um and narratives in which gay
[126]
characters just just get to be
[129]
characters
[130]
um and and not have to be about
[133]
gay stories
[135]
so I don't understand why an
[138]
entertainment company that makes
[139]
animated movies gets to control
[141]
legislation in your state
[145]
one especially Tucker you got to wonder
[147]
like why is the hill to die on to have
[150]
transgenderism injected into
[152]
kindergarten classrooms or woke gender
[154]
ideology injected into second grade
[156]
classroom why is that the hill to die on
[159]
meanwhile if we had done a bill that
[161]
prohibited uh talking about the abuse of
[165]
uyghurs in China Disney would have
[167]
supported that legislation because they
[168]
don't want to say a word about that so
[170]
it's just an odd manifestation of their
[173]
corporate values that they actually do
[175]
Disney Cruises Tucker to the nation of
[178]
Dominica which criminalizes
[180]
homosexuality so they're fine doing that
[182]
and lining their pockets they're fine
[184]
lining their pockets from the CCP and
[187]
all the atrocities that go on there but
[189]
it's those kindergartners in Florida
[191]
that they really want to have
[194]
transgenderism as part of their Core
[196]
Curriculum in school and talking to kids
[199]
about their genitals like I I thought
[201]
that was I'm not a lawyer I thought that
[202]
would be a crime right no it should be
[206]
Tucker I mean I think about when I was
[208]
in school we just did school work uh you
[210]
know we did we did things like math and
[213]
science and reading I don't even know
[214]
how this would become fodder for for a
[217]
second grade classroom uh and so the
[219]
fact that they're going to this length
[221]
to try to torpedo legislation that I
[223]
think 90 of parents probably view is
[225]
just common sense
[227]
um it really makes you wonder you know
[229]
about what's motivating this decision
[230]
making it really does and just to be
[232]
clear final question I read the bill it
[235]
doesn't say anything about gay marriage
[236]
does it is it not an anti-gay marriage
[238]
bill Tucker Tucker the word gay is not
[242]
in the legislation right so they say
[244]
it's Banning a word that literally isn't
[246]
even in the legislation it's not even
[247]
like they're misrepresenting the way the
[249]
words use it's not even used in the bill
[251]
it's a it's a fake narrative it's a lie
[254]
but it's a lie because they have to lie
[256]
because if they admitted what they were
[257]
really for sexualizing kindergartners
[259]
and first graders they know that would
[261]
not fly with the public man you got a
[264]
lot of huevos to do this and I
[265]
appreciate it and I hope all all the
[266]
other cowards sitting in Governor's
[269]
offices around the country watch this
[270]
Rhonda Sanders thank you
[273]
