but here are the new rules if you would
[2]
like a big publicly held corporation to
[5]
pay its taxes then you're a child rapist
[8]
obviously you're a racist you're like
[10]
putin which means you're a fascist but
[12]
you know what else you are
[13]
according to joy reid
[15]
you're a communist ron desantis is quote
[17]
taking us back to the soviet union
[19]
you're a communist
[21]
if you want the company to pay its taxes
[23]
now joyride went to harvard so we're not
[24]
going to disagree with her but we did
[26]
feel a moral obligation to check that
[27]
fact because it's a heavy claim so
[29]
joining us tonight to confirm or deny
[31]
these charges is comrade ron desantis
[33]
who is also the governor of florida
[35]
governor thanks so much for coming on
[36]
tonight so i can't tell whether you're
[39]
a racist communist fascist for wanting a
[42]
big publicly held corporation to pay its
[44]
taxes how would you describe yourself
[48]
well it's interesting tucker not only
[50]
pay taxes i mean this company had a deal
[53]
unlike any company or any individual in
[56]
all of the state of florida and probably
[58]
anywhere in the united states they were
[59]
self-governing they had extraordinary
[62]
powers they could build nuclear power
[64]
plants they didn't have to go through
[65]
permitting processes obviously a lot of
[67]
tax benefits and so that's just
[69]
inappropriate and it's certainly
[71]
inappropriate when you look as you i
[73]
think did a great job pointing out
[75]
they pledged themselves to mobilize
[77]
their considerable corporate resources
[80]
out of the coffers of this burbank
[82]
california-based corporation to overturn
[85]
the rights of parents in the state of
[87]
florida to effectively commandeer our
[89]
democratic process and so that obviously
[92]
is something that that we very much
[94]
objected to and then you also have those
[96]
videos that you showed where you have
[98]
all these higher-ups in disney talking
[100]
about how it was their intent to inject
[103]
sexuality in the programming that goes
[105]
to young kids i got a five-year-old a
[107]
four-year-old and a two-year-old at home
[108]
tucker i want them to be able to watch
[110]
cartoons without having this stuff jam
[112]
down their throats and so
[114]
it was appropriate to have done this
[116]
originally
[118]
three years ago whatever but it's
[119]
certainly appropriate to make them live
[121]
under the same laws as everybody else in
[124]
the state of florida well yes and it's a
[125]
little weird coming from people who
[127]
devote their programming um to defending
[129]
quote democracy so you've been elected
[132]
by the voters of florida you're standing
[134]
for election very soon in november and
[136]
we'll see how you do
[137]
but you're a product of democracy bob
[139]
chapic and bob iger were elected by
[141]
nobody so why wouldn't democracy
[143]
defenders be on the side of the
[144]
legislative process over corporate fiat
[149]
because i think what the left has come
[151]
to is all they want to see is power
[153]
exercised in advance of their leftist
[155]
agenda so yes they used to be hostile to
[157]
big corporations because i think they
[159]
perceive those corporations as being a
[161]
political and that they wouldn't support
[163]
their agenda now they figured out that
[166]
they can try to subcontract out their
[168]
leftism to some of these big
[169]
corporations and some of the executives
[172]
will cave to the woke mob and then
[174]
they'll basically do the less dirty work
[176]
tucker they're not going to win
[177]
elections in florida if they're actually
[179]
running on injecting transgender
[181]
ideology into second grade classrooms
[183]
and they know that so their hope was
[185]
getting disney involved in that would
[187]
somehow get me to back down from signing
[190]
the bill well uh that was a bad uh
[192]
judgment in their part because of course
[194]
we weren't going to back down an inch
[196]
it's a little weird because there are a
[197]
bunch of republican governors in the
[199]
country you're actually a republican
[200]
governor that sits over one of the most
[201]
evenly divided states it's a republican
[203]
state but just barely overwhelmingly
[205]
republican states in the west like utah
[208]
their governors have done nothing like
[210]
this they haven't fought back at all why
[211]
is that do you think
[215]
you know i don't know tucker i mean i
[216]
think the way i view it is is you have
[218]
the media class you have kind of the
[220]
twitter class you have some of these
[222]
people and that's a distorted view of
[224]
reality and you actually need to talk to
[227]
people who aren't always on those
[229]
outlets and listen to what they have to
[231]
say and i can tell you they do not want
[234]
this woke garbage in our society they
[236]
don't want women to be denied the
[238]
opportunity to participate in sports
[240]
they don't want to see their kids go to
[243]
kindergarten and have this stuff jammed
[245]
down their throats and so i just stand
[247]
with the people i stand against a lot of
[249]
media and a lot of big corporations but
[251]
at the end of the day i think we have
[253]
the facts and the strength and numbers
[255]
on our side yeah i think you're exactly
[257]
right thank you it's great to see you
[259]
