Florida

There is no new normal in politics. Rick, Stuart, and Joe explain why it's essential that we push back on media narratives that give equal weight to lies, conspiracies, and autocracy (MAGA GOP) and truth, facts, and democracy (The Dems). Also - What it means that the GOP has managed to put two swing states in play in two weeks by ensuring abortion rights will be on the ballot in Florida and now Arizona? The guys go all-in on strategies to capitalize on Republicans' November nightmare scenario.

If you missed this show, do yourself a favor and catch up! Gevin Reynolds, writer, political commentator, Biden-Harris Admin alum, joined Rick, Stuart, and Joe for a conversation on the black vote in America, the racism at the core of Trump's popularity, the themes of rights and freedom that will inspire voters in November, and how Biden needs to do to show up and talk about his policies that are and will continue to advance progress for Americans of color - which is good for ALL Americans.

Trump has graduated from being arraigned on New York State charges related to hush money payments to a stripper to an arraignment on a 37-count federal grand jury indictment related to his (mis)handling of classified documents - including charges under the Espionage Act. Our strategists have thoughts.

Publisher of FloridaPolitics.com, Peter Schorsch, and Rick engage in a lively discussion about Ron Desantis and his potential run for POTUS, the GOP stranglehold on FL, and take a deep dive into the political landscape. And there's a new entry on The Enemies List!

Donna Deegan is now the Mayor-elect of Jacksonville, FL! Joe talked with Donna before winning her race -- there are a ton of lessons to take from her campaign and how Donna and the Democrats flipped the script on traditional GOP narratives.

Ron Desantis short-circuits when confronted about polling numbers in Japan.

Like the Great Red Wave of 2022, Ron DeSantis's campaign is crumbling right before our very eyes to the chagrin of the Republican media machine and donors ready to move past Trump.

Former Congresswoman Val Demings feels like Florida has a road back to blue, but it will take a lot of work. She joins Rick to discuss the Sunshine state and her campaign against Marco Rubio. Also, Rick gives Biden and the Dems a harsh reminder that they have work to do in order to defend democracy.

Yes, DeSantis is a little dumpy and seems pretty dimwitted, but he's also dangerous and the perfect malleable vessel for the GOP writes Amee Vanderpool.

DeSantis seeks to prevent kids from developing the empathy that would lead them down the path of civil rights activists in the US and anti-authoritarian resisters everywhere.

Speaking as a Floridian, we might be some Red Hills, cracker-ass, hog-farming, shark-fishing, citrus-growing deep-fried weirdos, but the MAGA base is too odd even for us.
