| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Rachel. Alex Wagner has a brand new show here on MSNBC. It's called Alex Wagner Tonight. |

| 0:10.5 | We have a lot of news for a Friday. Tonight Florida Governor Ron DeSantis goes to Pennsylvania |
| 0:16.1 | to support Trump endorsed January 6th at Indy in candidate Doug Masteryano. While back in Florida, |
| 0:22.7 | DeSantis is bringing his far right agenda to the classroom. The state telling educators what |
| 0:27.5 | they must teach and what they are not allowed to say. Tonight, part two of our special report. |

| 1:37.5 | candidates all across the USA. Just last week, he visited Arizona to stump on behalf of the far |
| 1:44.0 | right election deniers running for governor and Senate in that state. There, he was praised as the |
| 1:50.2 | beast from the east and the best governor we have in this country. Gubernatorial candidate Carrie |
| 1:56.8 | Lake was downright giddy when saying that she'd been described as the dissantist of the West. |
