| 0:00.0 | And you found this really interesting back and forth, Ron DeSantis had on the swamp. |
| 0:05.5 | Right. |
| 0:06.5 | He was at this forum and he was speaking and I couldn't find where this took place. |
| 0:12.8 | Now, I know that he is expected to make his first public appearance in South Carolina |
