0:00.0	Good day to you. Welcome to the Liz Wheeler show. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has revoked
0:06.6	the alcohol license for the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Miami because the hotel staged a drag show
0:13.8	at Christmas time of last year in December of 2022 that allowed children under the age of 16
0:19.2	to attend this really graphic, really disgusting, really sexually explicit show. So DeSantis'
0:24.8	government, this wasn't DeSantis personally himself, but it is the executive branch of the
0:30.1	state government of Florida revoked the liquor license of this hotel. And my omai is this
0:36.0	controversial, not just controversial between Republicans and Democrats, Democrats obviously
0:41.3	condemn this, but there are many Republicans who are also criticizing Ron DeSantis for this.
0:46.7	They say, hey, isn't this a violation of the First Amendment? Don't these people have a right

1:13.0	is 100% right. There's two ways to analyze this. Two ways we need to analyze this, two ways we
1:20.0	are going to analyze this today. And that is to look at the question, is it the moral thing to do
1:25.4	to shut down child drag shows? And is it a legal thing to do for DeSantis to shut down child drag
1:31.2	shows in this way? I think you're going to be very interested in this, but in order to properly
1:36.4	understand what we're looking at here, what this hotel has done, what this drag show was, I want to
1:42.4	read to you just a small excerpt from a publication called Florida's Voices. They are the ones who first
1:49.0	reported that the DeSantis administration is revoking the liquor license for the Hyatt Regency
1:54.0	in Miami. And this is what they write. They say, a drag queen Christmas performed December 27th
2:01.6	at the James L. Knight Center, which is reportedly connected to the Hyatt Regency Miami. This is
