Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gained national attention when he declared war on wokeism in his state. But would his strategies be as effective if he were president? Glenn sits down with Gov. DeSantis to get the answers Americans want most about his 2024 presidential campaign. How would he handle a government shutdown debate? How would he address the border crisis? What would be his first priority on day one? Would he clean out the Deep State? What does he actually believe about the war in Ukraine? DeSantis explains how he plans to reverse the Biden administration's destructive policies and give power back to the states, especially when it comes to the border. He also responds to former President Donald Trump's criticism of Florida's heartbeat bill and clarifies his own stance on abortion. Plus, he shares the other thing he believes Biden should be impeached over. This episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" is part of a series leading up to the 2024 election.

Leading up to the 2024 election, I am devoting a series of episodes of the Glendback Podcast

0:06.0

to conversations with presidential candidates. My job is not to help or hurt any candidate.

0:12.6

There is no agenda except to ask honest, fair, and vital questions. We need candidates to be

0:20.5

crystal clear about who they are and what they stand for. America has a very tough decision to make.

0:28.7

These are essential conversations that you won't hear on a debate stage. In 2018,

0:34.4

Rhonda Santos was elected governor of Florida by the skin of his teeth, and for vulnerable

0:39.6

politicians entering some of the most powerful positions in the country, this was not one of the

0:45.1

best times to be assuming office. COVID-19 arrived, and it proved to be one of the biggest tests

0:52.4

of American liberty that we have ever faced, least in my lifetime. Many people in public office

failed that test. This man did not. After the pandemic dust cloud dissipated, governor

DeSantis all but destroyed the Democratic Party in Florida. He was reelected with over 59% of the

1:15.8

vote. That's the largest gubernatorial margin, victory in the history of Florida, or at least

1:22.2

for the last 40 years. Rhonda Santos's track record is clear. His results delivered. But will

that translate to the federal level? The next Republican president has not just have to have the

1:37.2

ability to fight, but not only Democrats, but also some Republicans and a weaponized government

1:44.8

that has been unleashed on ordinary citizens as well as the former president. They need to have

1:51.6

the ability to effectively operate in that arena, but also have the charisma to unite America

1:59.0

behind them if it can be done. Can DeSantis do that? You will decide. Now, welcome, governor

2:09.3

DeSantis. Before we get to the podcast, sometimes it seems like there's a running battle between

2:16.7

cybercriminals and the government to see who could steal the most from people. Usually, you know,

2:22.8

they're out, they're outgunned, the cybercriminals. The government usually wins all of the time,

but the competition is fierce. Take home title theft, for instance. One of the fastest growing
