Fox News has a big sad today.
CONTEXT – After months of promoting Ron DeSantis to become the 2024 GOP nominee, which includes the efforts of Rupert Murdoch (and family) via a multimillion-dollar Harper Collins book deal for the Florida governor; lengthy friendly interviews with DeSantis on every program; a full feature infomercial running on Fox News to present him to the national audience; attendance by key program pundits at DeSantis donor events and campaign organization meetings; weeks of specific messaging coordinated with board member Paul Ryan – and the consulting efforts of Karl Rove with the DeSantis operation; they are just not able to move the needle.
With the DeSantis book launch officially taking place today, Fox News Corp sends Brian Kilmeade to Florida to assist the DeSantis operation. Producers used the entire Fox and Friends morning programming to support the intent and Ron DeSantis’s ‘big day’. [See Long Video Here] However, when Brian Kilmeade broadcasts live from the Metro Diner in Ponte Vedra beach to promote the DeSantis narrative, the diners at the venue did not go along with the anticipated narrative. {Direct Rumble Link}
What follows in the live broadcast becomes a hilarious exhibition in how media-driven astroturf propaganda runs directly into the reality of the situation. It really is quite funny to see the escalating desperation of Mr. Kilmeade as he asks whether the audience supports Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis for the 2024 GOP nomination and cannot find anyone who puts DeSantis first – even the lady wearing the DeSantis T-shirt supports Trump first. WATCH:
But wait, it gets better….. Even more funny.
Corporate Fox News is not going to give up, they had this whole production scripted. Karl Rove who is a key consultant in the managing and branding effort, is left retreating to the narrative that DeSantis doesn’t need to do anything yet. {Direct Rumble Link} Watch below:
.
Rove is facing a big challenge. The Atwater-Rove days of gaslighting, manipulating and ultimately controlling the republican illusion of choice are in the rear-view mirror. The traditional mechanisms have collapsed and are no longer useful as the electorate have become more aware, and simultaneously the grassroots communication platforms have evolved.
Even extremely expensive political Astroturf is much harder now. People can just see through the issues and the fallacies are debunked in almost real time.
Rupert Murdoch has a sad.
Paul Ryan has a sad.
Karl Rove has a sad,….
…..and I’m over here enjoying every moment of it.
The backfire is too effing funny!
🤓 🤣
“The Atwater-Rove days of gaslighting, manipulating and ultimately controlling the republican illusion of choice are in the rear-view mirror. The traditional mechanisms have collapsed and are no longer useful as the electorate have become more aware, and simultaneously the grassroots communication platforms have evolved”,
Hence the enhanced effort to brand online speech as ” disinformation”
Bwahahaha.
Would be pretty funny if RdS, “” Al Gored”” himself and couldn’t win his own state.
Tap out Ron and sit this one out.
RDS will be Rubioed.
What I really like about DeSantis is, you can REALLY tell when he’s lying, and when he’s scared. I’m looking forward to the debates. Trump will shred him like finely grated Parmesan!
I’m actually hoping that this radically impacts Mr. DeSantis.
He is seeing first hand the new handicap of the GOPe and he *could* use this to his advantage by gravitating closer to Donald Trump as a Statesman and distancing himself from the image of a greedy Politician.
It would take sincerity on his part, as well as patience, but the reward could be big…
Who cares..Let him run Florida..He learned from the wrong person in Jeb Bush!!….I don’t like someone who plays you for the advantage of climbing the ladder..He has played the good people of Florida..Yes Florida is thriving but just to thnk all along who he was cozying up to.Never will look at him the same..!!
Not so sure Florida is thriving. Besides the general increases in everything under the sun thanks to Biden, the weather events in Florida have sent property insurance through the roof, for everyone, property taxes are up, and I think auto insurance is up too.
Well, he’s taken $300,000,000 from hedge funds/Wall Street. Tough to pivot now.
We’ve been through this with Rubio, first time he ran he attached himself to the Tea Party…when got to DC he attached himself to McCane, Graham,McC.. don’t be fooled..🤔👎
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Very astute, but greed is a powerful pull!
Warms my heart! Of course, without CTH, I’d never have known. I stopped watching Fox and canceled my cable TV subscription back in 2016. Of course, I catch snippets of Tucker Carlson via You Tube. I imagine the minions at You Tube will be taking Carlson down in the future. I hope not!
Get familiar with Rumble and subscribe to everyone that you have on Youtube, if they have a channel there. If they’re smart (and the least bit ‘controversial’) they will have an account there.
I’m hoping Carlson and Gutfeld use their extreme popularity to counter Ryan’s network suiccide
Tucker had DeSantis on his show last night.
Let them rot on the vine!
Carlson and Gutfeld included.
Everybody knows Trump can handle the media scum and that he will do what he promises to do, once in office. It really is a no brainer, if you care about America and freedom.
Again, DeSantis is fine if he stays in Florida, does right by them, and then runs for POTUS in 2028. If he runs against Trump is 2024, he’s dead to me.
he’s my governor and is doing a great job…he needs to stay put
DeSantis should move to Texas and kick the butts of the RINO state leadership. Fat, lazy & stupid are what we’ve got here. Ted Cruz has sold out, others are just conservative poseurs.
I took the same position to support VSGPDJT in 2024 and then DeSatanis is 2028.
But…..DeSatanis has shown me his true colors in his path for the presidency.
I will be supporting someone else in 2028.
I’m not so quick to burn my bridges. We have no idea what the field will be in 2028 yet.
He’s dead to me forever. Once a Rove lackey always a Rove lackey. Let him hang with Jeb.
DeSantis is controlled opposition for the UniParty who wants you to buy the lemon from the slick used car salesman.
Look, I get that he’s a decent governor and Florida is lucky to have him (and not the drug addicted democrat Gillum – talk about dodging a bullet there, ey?). Perhaps DeSantis just needs a little more time to grow some independent cajones and drop the bid donor money (a girl can dream can’t she?).
#MAGA
your dream sounds like a wish in one hand, spit in the other scenario to see which fills up the fastest
(courtesy of grandmother)
People need to be educated on DeSantis and Nikki Haley apparently.
Ron DeSantis is a rino who answers to his big bucks rino backers,
not MAGA, looking for profits only. Nikki Haley is Romney in a dress.
Why do we want them any where near the Pres/VP office?
Are we that stupid; or just, uninformed?
Maybe he’s just doing this as a warm up and will graciously bow out?
If he has any morals and ethics, he will NOT announce a run for 2024 POTUS.
Awwwww! Poor babies! DeSanctus and Company all have the SADS!!!
Kilmeade has never progressed much above an idiot. A perfect spokesman for the Fox News DeSantis push. It falls in the category of the old saying: “You can’t teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig”.
I no longer watch Fox except for Tucker. When I watched in the mornings, I could never stand Kilmeade. He has no TV persona. He always stares into the camera and with a fake smile.
He apparently has chosen to do Fox’s bidding and subject himself to Ryan’s and the rest of the Board’s whims.
Kilmeade is easy to read.
That breakfast group in Ponte Vedra Beach was hilarious. Kilmeade asked them “Who in 2024?” (See video above) They all answered “Trump” Kilmeade Sad Face
Even Nikki beat Ron. heh heh.
and Fox said the reason RdS is not leading is because he’s been working on his book & just isn’t well known YET
David Brooks:
As the campaign wears on, and the debate on Ukraine continues, DeSantis will be condemned to playing Mini-Me to Trump in trying to win that populist 40%. Meanwhile, he’ll be cutting ties to many in the nonpopulist 41%. That will leave room for some normie Republican in the Brian Kemp/Tim Scott mold to rise.
Read the whole thing to see how the globalist brain shapes the narrative.

Oh yeah! I’ve read a few articles from the Atl. Constitution that Kemp’s TEAM are working towards him either 1) Running for President in 2024 or 2) Working in the Campaign for the Primary Winner and absolutely has an eye on a job in the next Republican Administration.
I kid you not and I apologize for not having a link at my fingertips but this article touches on the same-same mediocre, losing globalist agenda
Kemp’s biggest concern is not getting blown up in a massive car explosion, like happened to his daughter’s boyfriend.
The plan has been pretty obvious for some time, but I’m surprised to find it in print so soon.
They care little which candidate they lose with, but they will pay any price to lose.
above article by David Brooks, NewYorkTimes:
“Florida governor faces a party divided into populists and normie Republicans.”
Thank you brother SD for posting this, can’t find it anywhere else yet. I was having a very bad day regarding the sheer organizing of Washington and their media arms banishing everything Trump.
My queston, was SD in the audience? Cryptic last sentence.
With the $27 I gave him, he might have been splurging on a Grand Slam Breakfast.
That w/b funny if he was. Mystery man revealed…
…and, when your neighbors suggest DeSantis (like several of mine have), be sure to correct them. Tons of people are awake, but not enough. If DeSantis announces, independents and even dems will vote for him and all the usual tricks will be used to rig the primary for him. Then we are back to square 1 with no chance of ever defeating the globalists. Dystopian world forever.
If you’re in FL.:
Ask your neighbors why they want to get rid of a good Gov. 2 years before his term is up.
Then tell them DS can run in 2028.
ask them about the insurance rate increases
ask them about the arrests on the beach during covid
ask them about sex education for 4th graders.
and so much more.
DeSantis always looks smug; like he got away with something.
Nothing genuine about that guy.
I suspect he is taking credit for the republican legislature decisions.
Or, because he is running for president, he is making decisions to
make himself look good.
100%. He hasn’t done much in Florida that hasn’t been overturned or struck down His watered down Disney stuff is a joke. All anyone has to do is look a bit deeper and see he hasn’t done much. And agree wholeheartedly about our insurance rates are ridiculous! so he isn’t even a good freaking govenor.
Florida also still uses election voting machines and the discredited voter roll ERIC system. Someone needs to ask DeSantis why he nominated Dave Kerner, a Palm Beach county democrat, to be the Executive Director of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The Department oversees drivers licensing, which can effect voter rolls. Yes he nominated a democrat.
The ad with his wife months back turned me off completely. Staged and manipulative. Nothing genuine about her either. She reminds me of Fetterman’s wife.
And the Disney EO could easily backfire if the state loses mucho revenue.
We love DeSantis – right where he is. He should stay there.
Florida would be better off with a real MAGA Governor
Not some phoney WEF sellout.
Too many idiots have been fooled by Meatball Ron !
You know what I remember about FoxNews?
How they purged all the pro Trump hosts after Trump won the 2016 election.
Like who?
Exactly!
They ALL used MAGA
and after a while couldn’t keep up the charade.
Ever hear of Lou Dobbs?
My only issue is who in the heck would even consider Haley as a viable running mate?!
Haley is a NO
Kari Lake is a ‘Yes.’
I live here in Ponte Vedra and have been involved in St Johns County Republican party, we have lots of Rinos and clueless people. When I am out and about and get into discussions with Republicans I am shocked how little they know. I do my best to inform them and direct them to CTH.
Let Sundance educate them!
.
Low-info old women.
.
Plenty of men fit that description, don’t discriminate
I love it ! Anyone that has a brain and wants true leadership will vote President Trump. I personally have had enough of Washington DC and their ilk.
A second Trump term is infinitely more important and potentially transformative than a DeSantis first term. Trump is THE anti-Status quo candidate. No Ukraine war and balanced budget, best platform ever. End the endless wars and end the endless deficits and save the dollar!
my problem is with the women who want Nikki Haley for Trump’s VP…insanity, might as well just have Pence the Quisling
True, but Trump always strokes Haley and she always purrs contentedly. If she’s his VP, it might be a good tactical move. This time, he needs to shut her out completely, like presidents used to do to veeps. But it’ll be a while for that.
no, then the possibility increases of getting her for president after
President Trump leaves.
A Haley VP would be like pence, where she will always be undermining him at every move. The first thing Pence did was to get rid of General Flynn.
Ye, no thanks
The only woman worth considering for his veep is Kari Lake.
So the Faux poll has Trump leading by 15, meaning it’s more like +30 (and the splitters likely don’t even register).
If Desantis just took Trump straight on, he’d do better, I bet. Just kick Rove and company out and go for it. Instead he’s morphing into JEB! Trump is going to eat this guy alive.
Rove looked red in the face. Such a dolt.
Sundance / Menagerie 2028!
Should Trump start a 3rd party, because he won’t get support from the RNC that’s a certainty. At the very least he could make life miserable for Republicans—what’s that old saying, “you’re either with me or against me”.
That would be a second party.
The more Americans wake up to the ugly reality of the Uniparty the better.
NO
He should done it on 11/10/2020 or right after 01/22/2021……can you image 75 + millions voters sent him just $100 bill.. that’s $ 7.5billions..plenty to start new PATRIOTIC/ CONSTUTIONAL PARTY…..
Well, gee, this is awkward. Kilmeade the dupe. Good role for him.
When I had cable and watched Fox Snooze, Kilmeade always Killed-me when I saw that arrogant💩
Kilmeade has zero, zilch TV persona. He’s a typical wanna-be. Likely is friends with Lyin’Ryan.
For Gods Sake……..not nickie Haley for VP…………no no no. Kari Lake please Haley is a no
Yep, it got me to wondering about Haley but….nah, PTrump wouldn’t go there.
Hilarious Running around with a mike as People bellow out Trump!!! Made my day Trump must be laughing so hard . Watched Ronnie on Levine for 2 seconds. The voice and boots ….not Good
Rove doesn’t appear too worried as I saw it, maybe because he doesn’t want to get FIRED! ha
But that Kilmeade video speaks bad news for RDS 2024. I wonder if Brian went back to the office and told Fox to stuff it, he looked like a doofus. How embarrassing for him.
Kilmeade IS a doofus.
Sadly, at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP pulls some shenanigans to prevent Trump from winning the primaries. They’re on a quest to take him out, at any cost.
Folks like DeSantis…..they just like Trump better…. DeSantis can’t figure out what he has to do for people to like him more than Trump for President. The short answer is, there’s nothing he can do.
Right, nothing now. RDS can wait.
And if he/we are lucky enough to have PTrump again as official President of the US, RDS can watch and learn for 2028.
Of course there is.
He can back Trump.
Sans shiv.
“Please clap?” said DeSantis.
Jeb reads the room and again looks down in sadness as history repeats itself!
Well, at least one lady said Trump and Haley were her candidates. Another lady said she’d support the nominee.(Trump).
There’s just something beautiful about Karl Marx Rowe failing upwards. It just warms my heart.
The fact that Fox has been employing Rove for over a year now, is another reason to NOT watch their channel.
I wonder if Desantis actually believes what his backers are pushing on him or he’s thinking what have I gotten into bed with these people?
Also, that video clip is not as funny as described. The amount of people who mention Nikki Haley WITH Trump is scary. Tells me that at least this crowd doesn’t understand MAGA and think Trump and Haley are interchangeable
Haley will no doubt have the uniparty females and the suburban “women’s lib” groups behind her. Hopefully, once the campaign gets going, these women will not matter.
Only Trump can beat Trump.
Unless he implodes… Trump wins.
DeSantis is supposed to resign to run, according to the laws of his state, unless they’ve recently overturned that. Let’s see how popular he is when he leaves his constitutional high and dry.
However, the deep state is not done with invalidating DJT using lawfare BS. This will be their counter in conjunction with the RonD push.
Don jnr was looking strong in Ohio… VP?
MAGA!
Trump – Haley those ladies need help!
They’re all RINOs.
Seriously! Nikki Haley and Trump? People need to stop eating junk food, its cooked their brain cells! Haley is another Pence, and I’m sure Trump is way too smart for that BS again!
or LIZ CHENEY…..
Who could have thought this was beneficial in one room, DeSantis, Ryan, Rove? Send in the 🤡’s oops ya left out The Turtle and Baby Bushie!Bet-cha the GOPe😂😂😂😂
Kilmeade is a RINO tool for RINO Faux News.
Exactly, Bonitabaycane! He is a tool with no TV persona. He faked his way in as a “Fox and Friends” host. Worse than a tool. He is a fake.
Never ask questions you don’t know the answer to on live tv or a courtroom.
Trump will implode and take the party down with him
If Trump implodes we lose the country forever. Who cares about either party?
PLEASE CLAP
Should have gone to Egypt you could have floated on denial.
Very satisfying.
Will Mr. DeSantis be wise enough to position himself for future success by endorsing Mr. Trump?
1) He’s not that smart.
2) It’s too late.
Even Yahoo is reporting in favor of Trump.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/2024-poll-desantis-slides-as-trump-surges-to-first-head-to-head-lead-in-months-202853093.html
Trump must be so far ahead in the polls that even with giving all the edge to DeSanctus and others, they still cannot hide the Trump advantage.
These polls are screwed by a lot.
Red-pilled America be like: “Oh no you DI-int!”.
We tell them time and time again, we are not leaving Trump. Throw your name in the hat at your own peril.
Fox News to Fake News to Faux News and now Barf News for those eating breakfast.
Maybe Ron will get cold feet as his decision to run might not be in his favor like the GOP promised.
He might just be a little slow at how they work at lining themselves up for personal gains.
They will never silence us. It’s bigger than just DJT. We are never going away.
MAGA.
Mobilization

Globalist
Agenda.
DeSantis, Haley and Pence added together….42%……President Trump 43%…….end of story…..and that’s before any debate…..
