0:00.0 | The Gaff-Pron Biden administration gave Americans a potential glimpse into the future this week |
0:06.6 | when the president gave a joint press conference with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis |
0:11.0 | and allowed DeSantis to speak from a lectern bearing the presidential seal. |
0:16.0 | When I first saw the photos of President DeSantis going viral, my first thought was that some poor |
0:22.6 | Shlub on the White House advanced team was probably having a very, very unpleasant afternoon, |
0:28.3 | probably getting chewed out by Biden's chief of staff for the Gaff that framed DeSantis as a potential |
0:34.9 | future president. But then something even stranger happened. Biden complimented DeSantis. |
0:42.5 | What the governor's done is pretty remarkable, Biden said. I think he's done a good job. We |
0:47.5 | worked hand in glove. We have very different political philosophies, but we've worked hand in glove. |
0:52.3 | Now, DeSantis has done a terrific job on hurricane preparation and recovery, so I am sure in part, |

1:29.2 | The lectern might have been an accident. The public praise suggests to me a strategy. |
1:36.3 | Seems to me, Biden and his team, at least his team, I don't know if Biden makes any of these |
1:41.6 | decisions himself, but at least the team has made a conscious decision to build up Ron DeSantis, |
1:48.0 | and it makes perfect sense. DeSantis is currently the biggest threat to Joe Biden's biggest threat |
1:54.3 | who is Donald Trump. As Democrat policies plunge America into poverty, chaos, and possibly even |
2:00.8 | World War III, the best shot the Democrats have at retaining power is to divide the Republicans. |
2:07.6 | And again, I'm not saying anything about Trump or DeSantis in a general election. I'm just saying |
