Welcome back to the LincolnProject. I'm your host, Reed Gaelin.

Today, I'm joined by Sarah Ruff, communication strategist and contributing editor for MediaEight.

She's also been published or appeared on a variety of outlets including the National Review, the Daily Beast and MSNBC.

Over the course of her career, she's advised a plethora of packs, nonprofits, think tanks and campaigns at the local, state and national levels.

Today, she's coming to us from-and Sarah, I think I have this right-right outside Cinderella's castle in the heart of the Magic King in Central Florida.

Sarah, welcome to the show.

Thanks so much for having me and yes, I am in Mickey's backyard.

So today, I want to talk about the latest with Rhonda Santas, as well as Toyota Restarting contributions to Seditionist Members of Congress.

But first, you are in fact coming to us today from Orlando, Florida, so we have to start with Disney and the latest law out of Tallahassee.

So let's briefly recap. Earlier this year, Rhonda Santas proposed and the Florida legislature passed a bill that's now being come to known as the Don't Say Gay Bill.

Which really, I think, was just a culture worker, Nade, you know, a solution in search of a problem about how you can talk about homosexuality or whatever in schools where it's not being discussed as I understand it really anyway.

Disney, who is the biggest employer in Florida, 80,000 employees, billions of dollars of revenue, hundreds of millions of dollars of taxes paid every year, came out against this bill.

And in response, last week, the Florida legislature basically passed a law that would dissolve the way that Disney is able to operate its property that, you know, provides municipal like services for the 27,000 acres it controls.

And this new law is really seen as retribution for Disney's willingness to stand up to Rhonda Santas. So take us through a little bit how you see this and what's going on down there.

Okay, well, and just to give your list or some background, I actually practiced law for several years. And so some of what I'm saying is from my own experience, some of what I'm saying is from conversations I've had with tender professors at the University of Florida law school where I went.

Some of it is based on conversations I've had with boards, certified local government attorneys. I have made dozens of calls over the past week to officials in both Orange and Australia County.

I've spoken to people at the Redie Creek Improvement District. I've spoken to former employees of Disney. I've spoken to former employees of Redie Creek. I've spoken to a top of executive at Universal. In other words, I have done a lot of due diligence on this issue.
