Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed a new immigration law that's left truckers boycotting the state, construction sites have been abandoned and fruits and vegetables, well, they're rotting in the field. Florida's economy is about to be completely destroyed and these folks sit by like buffoons saying, hey, we've really accomplished something here. No. Look, there's again, why do we do these stories about Florida? Because DeSantis wants to be president of the United States. Okay. So all you gotta do is look and see what's he doing down in Florida to understand how dangerous he could be as a governor of the state. Pick it up. Yeah. This move by DeSantis to crack down on immigration in Florida is about the dumbest thing you could do. But he's only doing it because he wants to run for president. That is 100% what this is about. He's trying to run for president and he wants to show the country that I'm not the open borders Biden that you've got now. I'm better. Okay. Well, you just basically cut off a workforce that is what, 6% of Florida's workforce. 800,000. 800,000 people that you're now saying you can't work in Florida. You can't work in the hotel industry, which is where they like to go. You can't work in landscaping, which is where they're utilized. Not construction, all of it. Chicken processing. We're dependent on them. Poultry processing. Can't pick strawberries. These are people, look, I gotta tell you something. You were here two hurricanes. Every hurricane, if we didn't have immigrant workers coming in, fixing and rebuilding, we would be in a a disaster. We still wouldn't be rebuilt. We still wouldn't have roofs on our houses. Right. So, I think it's sinking in to people that are paying attention to this. You're gonna be killing the economy. You know what the price of orange juice is gonna be by the time this is over, or how expensive it's gonna be to build a house or how expensive it is just to rent a hotel room? Because these people are, you know, they're hard workers, man. They come in here, they want a better life. Now there's another side to it. The US Chamber of Commerce looks at them like just insignificant, necessary entity to get stuff done. Yeah. Livestock. Livestock. Cut off an arm, sorry you lost your arm working. We're gonna ship you back to Nicaragua. Sorry, the chemical blinded you, we're gonna ship you back to Mexico. The US Chamber of Commerce, the way they look at this is really, really ugly. All these people, all these folks are expendable. But the truth is, in Florida in particular, these workers have done incredible things to keep our economy alive. And I gotta tell you, look, you know what. This legislation to me is kind of the crown jewel. Okay. First of all, think of these, this legislation, oh, by the way, every one of these things I'm about to talk about. What's this guy's name? Alex Andrad Head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're good friend Andrade. Alex Andrad Head. Okay. So they come up with no Democrats can vote. You remember that legislation? Yeah. That's. How about blogger? If you're a blogger, you had to register with the governor and the legislature, if you criticize the governor or legislature. Remember that legislation? How about do away with the standards of slander and libel, do away with New York Times v Sullivan. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJugzgy_2iw

Donald Trump continued to lay the ground work for undermining indictments against him on Monday, telling his supporters on Truth Social that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was engaging in election interference. These investigations have been going on since long before Trump officially declared he was running for office again, but that won't matter to his low information base. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this issue.

Donald Trump is now accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of interfering in the 2024 presidential election. Even though of course we, we haven't even gotten to the primary voting, we got a li a little under a year before that starts. But nevertheless, Trump says Alvin Bragg is a hundred percent interfering in the election. So he is the one that I guess should be, should be investigated. Here's what Trump said on true social. It is the district attorney of Manhattan who is breaking the law by using the fake and fully discredited testimony, even by the Southern District of New York, of a convicted liar, felon, and jailbird Michael Cohen to incredibly persecute, prosecute, and indict a former president and now leading by far presidential candidate for a crime that doesn't exist, Alvin Bragg should be held accountable for the crime of interference in a presidential election. Whew. You do realize that you're attacking Michael Cohen for being a felon, and he went to jail for the very thing you're being investigated for. So maybe pointing out that Michael Cohen went to jail is not the best strategy because he not only went to jail protecting you, but he went to jail as part of the scheme that you might also be indicted for. So, you know, raising that red flag up is actually more of a flag against you than it is for him. Cuz everybody knows Michael Cohen went to jail. That's not a secret. Michael Cohen is, has made it clear. He's talked about it many times. You, on the other hand, Donald, have not yet been to jail. You have not yet been indicted. So, so I understand you're scared, you're lashing out, you're trying to attack everybody. But for the record, Alvin Bragg is not interfering in any election whatsoever because his investigation began long before Donald Trump ever announced that he was running for president for a third time. So any thought that anybody has about Alvin Bragg being motivated by political reasons, you can go ahead and throw that out the door. These investigations began when Donald Trump was former president. Now private citizen, not presidential candidate Donald Trump. And even if he had started this investigation after Trump announced he was running for president, oh, well, if you committed a crime or they believe there's evidence to prove you committed a crime, you still get investigated. Running for president doesn't stop that, which by the way, is one of the big reasons Donald Trump announced he was running for president so early. He announced it on November 15th of last year. We're now into, you know, almost the end of March, 2023, and he only has one declared opponent. Nikki Haley Trump announced so early because he believed and reports at the time, you know, confirmed this basically that if he was running for president, it would kill all of these investigations. Clearly that did not go as he planned, as he still expects to be indicted this week. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU3HYs-bmXc
