There were a lot of Republicans when the president lost in 2020.

I was in different fundraisers and I would watch people who were diehard Trump guys in 2016 through 2020.

And they started saying, well, you know what?

What are you going to do to distance yourself from the president?

Because he's becoming very, you know, he needs to stop talking about and he needs to do this.

And what he's talking about?

Are you more team DeSantis?

And you kind of watched certain communities turn on the president very quickly and they were

no longer worried about his threats.

You know, there was a midterm that they thought it was going to be a red wave, didn't happen.

Like, well, you know, the president's endorsement is no longer as heavy as it was before.

So who knows?

These politicians sometimes won't show the fear unless if that person gets more and more powerful.

So maybe they're not afraid of Trump, afraid of Musk right now, but in the next two to three years, four years, if they see Musk is more serious about what he wants to do, maybe they'll flip. Who knows? Look, I don't think that any of these people are loyal to Trump. Most of them didn't even come out and support him when he first filed to run for the second time, right? After the stolen election, they sat on the sidelines. I mean, a lot of them were kind of waiting, especially here in Florida. Everyone was like, oh, well, DeSantis is going to run. It was already, you know, an open secret. I'm the one that forced it out of DeSantis when I almost got arrested at his book signing. And that's the first time that I really, I had met President Trump before but but that's when my, like, closeness, right, in terms of my access to Trump and the campaign really began.

And that was in the aftermath of President Trump announcing the second time around.

If you recall, Ron DeSantis was doing a shadow book,

it was a shadow presidential campaign via his book tour.

And I showed up, I organized a, no, that's a Comey.

I think if you just go to like, go type in Trump supporters threatened with arrest

at DeSantis book signing.

You could type it in on Google or whatever browser you use.

So I knew that Ron DeSantis was going to be running.
