I didn't sleep last night.

Oh, this is going to go great in Florida.

Before we go into the depths of hell that is Florida, I want to just recap if you want to join the Gaslit Nation live taping on January 24th at noon, which is going to go for

about an hour, followed by 30 minutes plus Q&A, live audience Q&A, but also the early bird

Sarah and I are going to be joining at the exact same

moment as you. You're going to get to see how we do the show, how we throw it all together,

and then hit the record button. So if you want to come early, you're welcome to join us for that,

or I'll show up at noon for the show itself. And to get a ticket to that, if you're not already

supporting the show at the

democracy defender level or higher on our Patreon, all you have to do is just buy your ticket

to the live taping before the 24th of January by going to patreon.com forward slash gaslit,

Patreon, p-a-t-r-e-o-n dot com forward slash gaslit patreon p a t r eon dot com forward slash gaslet g-a-s-l-it and just sign up at the

democracy defender level or higher treat it like you're buying a ticket because it's an event

it's going to be an event and we're going to get through it together.

So thank you for that. We look forward to seeing everyone on the 24th.

We were inspired to do this because Bolson Bolsonaro, who was voted out of office, barely, in Brazil, the Trump of the Amazon, he was holed up in Florida.

And it's sort of like you have these several wannabe dictators in Florida at once, Bolsonaro, Trump, and DeSantis.

And so what makes Florida

such a magnet or fascist? And that was sort of the thesis statement that kind of led this
