It always puzzles me when I come across an obscure data point that comes directly from the mouths of people who follow politics, and yet watch them not ask the obvious question. In this video segment, the first 20 seconds by podcaster Patrick Bet-David are interesting.
The video was recorded on Monday May 22nd, two days before Ron DeSantis officially launched his campaign (May 24). The meeting being described by Bet-David is on Thursday May 18, approximately four days before the interview, and six days before the campaign launch.
PBD notes he was invited with 10 to 15 other people to “watch Governor Ron DeSantis, work” in the governor’s mansion. In essence, it seems like someone from the DeSantis campaign was continuing to reach out to ‘influencers’ in advance of the announcement the following week.
QUESTION: Why do none of these influencers ask why they are being invited to “watch” DeSantis? It just seems odd. The podcast segment is a pretty good discussion with Sebastian Gorka, but watch the first 20 seconds.
.
What PBD outlines rather casually is exactly what I drew attention to last year. The DeSantis operation was clearly working in the latter part of 2021 to seed the landscape for the 2024 election, including the January 6, 2022, influencer meetup. Yet for some odd reason, none of the participants questioned what the purpose of the unsolicited engagement request was.
I first wrote about this last July and August, it’s all just weird.
If you have followed the management and branding efforts of the team around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the protestations today by campaign official and registered foreign agent Christina Pushaw are quite bizarre.
In early January of 2023, the Daily Beast wrote an article [SEE HERE] about how Ms. Pushaw organized an astroturf campaign of support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which included the recruitment of several conservative influencers. The substance of the article is generally well known.
In late 2021, early 2022, Ms. Pushaw invited a group of “influencers” to spend time with Governor DeSantis.
It’s not a debatable event. Factually, the collective group took gleeful pictures of their first visit on January 6, 2022, and continued to post frequent pictures on their social media of events throughout last year. The group went to the reelection celebration and inauguration of DeSantis in January before the Daily Beast article.
However, for some odd reason, likely more concerned about people realizing the ‘organized‘ nature of the creation, in a bizarre turn of events, Ms. Christina Pushaw was denying she ever organized the assembly. Then she stated, without any documentary evidence proving she organized it, saying she organized it was a conspiracy theory. [Tweet Link]
If Ms. Pushaw is to be believed, the random group of Florida conservative “influencers” just happened to show up at the Governor’s office on January 6, 2022, without any invitation, organization or coordination on her part.
Even lacking the invitation details, hanging your defense on the absence of a paper trail under these circumstances seems like a very odd position to take.
Why does the DeSantis team fear sunlight on the origin of how this outreach and subsequent meetings took place? Very odd.
I sincerely doubt this group just randomly showed up at Ron DeSantis’ office, on January 6, 2022, without an invitation or organizing.
The same group then continued meeting throughout the year….
.
Nothing about their recruitment, continued meet-ups and aggressive promotion of Ron DeSantis for the GOP nomination in 2024, would be that interesting or even noteworthy if Ms. Christina Pushaw didn’t paint them all into a box by denying she ever organized their first assembly.
And there’s the rub… Why was Christina Pushaw denying she first organized them on behalf of the political aspirations of her boss, Ron DeSantis?
The only logical reason to make such an outlandish and transparently false claim, was if original 2022 assembly was intended as seed material to use the “influencers” for another purpose, like a 2024 presidential bid. This truth would cut through the pretense of the “book tour”, national branding launch and subsequent nonsense.
However, with Ron DeSantis announcing his candidacy for the GOP nomination, suddenly all these background moves look like proactive steps on behalf of the management team. The January 6, 2022 meeting would then infer the presidential aspirations went as far back as December 2021.
In combination with the $200+ million in Wall Street money assembled by DeSantis, it certainly appears that hiding the long-constructed 2024 plan was the motive for the absurd denial. To give you an idea of how Florida voters feel about this campaign fraud, watch this twitter video:

That Trump-supporting DeSantis organizer is exactly how the majority of Florida grassroot activists feel. He’s 100% spot on.
There is no way that Dec 17 poll is accurate, or the rest of them for that matter, its pure fiction.
That was after DeSantis won reelection and his poll numbers were high, And I remember Rove and the gang were saying it’s all for Trump.
This response is over the target
Lookin at what the Desantis campaign consists of its very to safe there isn’t any maga representation. The entire swamp DC “Republican” donor class throwing around a ton of money! I bet the majority of the other candidates are funded by the same team to spearhead attack on Trump
Funny But Too much of anything can be a BIG problem – Desantis too much attraction/Support from GLOBALIST –
God Bless America

BINGO!
It time that AG goes full NPA on his registration down here.
Those have been my thoughts for a long time and there’s no reason to be a registered republican when you’re red-pilled at that level.
You need to be a registered R to vote in the R primary… so yes, there’s every reason to be a registered R for 2024.
Perfectly put!
He is running “against” President Trump and therefore running “against” MAGA. In the primary he is not running “for” anything yet, he is only running “against” President Trump and MAGA. The question needs to be framed as and asked again and again is:
Why are you running “against” President Trump and MAGA? Why? Why? Why?
That’s why I KEEP ASKING Sundance to repost the Ken Griffin letter.
It lays out in 100% CERTAIN TERMS the GOPE/NT/DONOR PLAN to purge the party of the populists.
Ron Bush is their vehicle to fully return to being the party of Wall Street.
Screw Main Street and the middle class.
They hate MAGA.

The Democrat Lincoln Project – Electoral advertisement against RdeSantis.
“We know Ron DeSantis isn’t presidential material. After all, his biggest public enemies are children’s books, drag queens, and an animated talking mouse. He’s not a serious person.”
Is this a feigned attack on Meatball, to give him street cred?
Or
Is Ken Griffin keeping the Pedo Projects snouts out of Meatballs feeding trough?
IMO, They know Trump will beat RdS like a drum. Therefore they must label RdS as not a serious threat so as to make the massacre appear as RdS weakness as opposed to Trump’s massive popularity, support and performance. However, they did a pretty good job of factually describing RdS.
What RdS was good at was feigning as MAGA for four years even going so far as to copy the MAGA King’s gestures and phrases. Him challenging Trump and going full on establishment corporate sell-out has awakened his former MAGA supporters and organizers. People don’t like pretenders, especially disloyal ones.
I like his hoodie: Make America Trump Again. Very nice.
That truck is pretty nice as well. Don’t be a RINO, Ron.
Feigned attempt to give him Street cred.
“See, the LP hates him just like Trump”
I think they are taking material that Trump might use for his ad campaign, thus possibly preventing Trump from using it. If Trump uses similar short clips, he will be branded as a copycat.
I see no other reason for this.
Copying PDJT’s running mate,..oops I mean Kari Lake, who said “DeSantis can’t even beat mickey mouse.”
I think she said, “How are you going to beat Donald Trump, if you can’t beat Donald Duck.”
4 stunts and seven years ago…
“This is the problem… when you’re governed by stunts, you just have to keep coming up with more stunts.”

Sundance this is another pastor who apparently General Mike Flynn post about. I cant see my post on Trump’s endorsement of Modi and the grandstanding anymore.
It was in context of Ben Shapiro and Ron De Santis talking about Trump’s appointments. While I like Trump some of his endorsements were questionable and that’s why I said the swamp runs deep to give him the benefit as I live Trump.
But as a Catholic being persecuted by Modi’s party’s factions on the basis of religious fundamentalism, I think his choice of a grandstanding was in error.
Also neither Trump nor Modi or any leader can be put above our Lord. I am pretty sure my post will be censured like the last one. I hate the left and I acknowledge everyone makes mistakes maybe even Modi. Pastor Steve atleast enlightens with the truth.
You do know that India worships cows right?
I love cows. They are delicious.
I pray before every meal, so my preying before I cut into a nice juicy ribeye, does NOT mean I “worship” cows, and mo its not a “religious sacrifice”! lol.
On the subject of endorsements; STATE R Parties detirmine who wins, in large part.
Where there WERE actual MAGA Candidates, PDJT endorsed them; Mastriano, DePerno, Karamo, Kari Lake and down to the State representative level.
But, where there were not, he endorsed the RINOS.
To do otherwise, would have given the RNC an excuse to deny him the nomination. He endorsed Ronna and Kevin for the same reason, and because he knew they would win with or without his nomination.
He’s making them be the ones to initiate the break, because it is all about the optics.
It ain’t chinatown, jake.
Its worse; its POLITICS.
Good point. Agreed.
Thanks Dutch. That explanation helped me.
Why can people not understand what PDJT is doing in endorsing RINOs. If the RINO party only puts up a RINO and Trump endorses them over a commie dem AND the RINO wins, then PDJT has a “WIN” in the endorsement column. Optics and also, beating the RINOs at their own game.
Right next to the mashed potatoes.
Best bedtime laugh I’ve had in years.
There is a Christian Community in India.
Goes back to one of THE Apostles
The reason they do is because they believe the souls of the dead are keep in the cows and will leave there to be reincarnated
And Christians worship a tortured body nailed to a cross?
You’re not going to enjoy Hell. Bu there is still time to repent.
No, the soul who inhabited that ‘tortured body nailed to a cross.”
Nice try but very weak.
Christ is risen. He is God in the flesh. We don’t worship his soul. We worship the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is no longer on the cross, and he is no longer in that grave.
No…Christians worship the eternal Power that foretold of that event and then arose from that tortured dead state. My money is on the Christian belief when the wheel quits spinning! Your money may win you…….NOTHING!
No, we worship the God that rose that tortured body from the grave.
I will pray for your eyes to see and your ears to hear.
WOW! What does this have to do with cows?
Really?
Who was RESURRECTED three days later.
Christ suffered and died on that cross AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD for my salvation. Let’s see if you can top that.
Weird
What they forget is Trump had no choice in most of his appt’s , Mitch made it clear that who Trump wanted would never be confirmed.
I believe they said ENDORSEMENTS, not appointments.
“Well, one of the big things pastor, is that, I was never in Washington other then 17 days. I never stayed overnight. So I wasn’t a Washington person, I was a NY person, a real estate person in NY…
“…I’ve gotten to know, everybody. I know the good, the weak, I know the strong. I know the RINOs, who can be very dangerous by the way. In a way, more dangerous then the democrats, because you don’t know where they’re coming from. We’ve got some real bad ones.”
–Donald J. Trump April 28, 2023 (Flashpoint)
Thank you for that reminder.
Josh, I think you misunderstand Indian politics and social views when you refer to Modi’s faction persecuting on the basis of religious fundamentalism. It is not just his faction: India is a mess of caste systems, and the discrimination includes low-caste Hindus, minority Muslims and all Christians. Over a decade ago, a Christian-run orphanage I contributed to was kicked out of the country, the staff escorted by police to the planes – and the kids, some infants, regardless of birth status, were left abandoned by the government. This persecution is not new.
Lifesite has been covering this most recent assault on Christians. We have family friends who are Muslims who relocated to the US from India, in part due to religious violence from the Hindus. When the “devoutly Catholic” president of a “Christian nation” once again flies a deviant flag for “pride month” over our embassy, they see Christianity as a form of evil.
PDJT had developed a good relationship with Modi. Since Biden was installed, our relationship w/India has diminished significantly and Modi has linked up w/BRIC (China, Russia, Brazil, India). Very bad. Our international relations is very bad under Biden.
Our national, internal relations aren’t good under Zero 3, either!
During that time period (10 yrs ago) Hindus were going town by town burning all Christian Churches and killing Christians. About a year before that, through a Christian pastor contact, we asked one of the Christian evangelists there for a project we could fund for them. The response we got was for a specific type of cell phone that was more secure than other types of cell phones available in that area. Because the Hindus controlled all public services and shipping to Christians was not secure, another contact in Europe agreed to smuggle the phones into the area. Ok, so it was costly and took some time but we were able to purchase and deliver 6 of the cell phones they specified to 6 of the Christian Churches in one region of the country. The timing here is what’s important. This was approximately 6 months before the mass attacks by Hindus against Christians. It took about 6 months start to finish to get the phones to the 6 Christian leaders. When the attacks started, the 6 Christian leaders used those cell phones to call ahead of the Hindu mobs that were burning Christian Churches and killing Christians, allowing whole areas of Christians to escape. Only in God’s timing could those cell phones have allowed 1000s of Christians to escape death. 100% true story, and likely one of the most rewarding results of Christian giving that I’ve experienced.
Pastor Pence says… RePete Basements Better…
scary.
Wow. I try not to listen to Butt boy Pete.
1 Peter 3:13-14
Frankly, why does an American politician feel the need to direct a foreign country on their internal politics? While I’m not a fan of persecution-in any form-I don’t see how this affects our political discourse. It affects the Catholic Church whose head is in Rome.
And whose adherents cover the planet!
One world orders don’t allow for one-offs. It’s all or nothing.
It gets us nothing but continual war. What happened to diplomacy? Didn’t Trump do better diplomacy during his presidency?
We’ve been in a state of continual war for almost 23 years, to what end? We haven’t attacked other countries (ie China) over their treatment of Christians. Should they be next? And if not, why not? Assid in Syria protects religious sects yet we’re fighting against his government. Why?
How dare they object to being lied to!
This is Spring 2016 all over again, you’d think since the same “experts” got their butts handed to them then … well the GOPe will always be stupid.

Get ready for the fake news / polls

https://irp.cdn-website.com/07e08705/files/uploaded/PollReport_May2023_FLGOP.pdf
What’s so transparent about that BS poll is how it squares with the polling as shown in the first comment by Sundance.
Polls were showing Trump leading for a while now, but suddenly a single poll shows DeSantis “rallied back” after his disastrous roll-out?
They wish people are stupid.
Its all fake. This is the kind of propaganda the media will be strategically fed to run with the lies and false narratives. Then after the election they can justify the fraudulent results citing fake polls etc…CNN already asking Trump if he will accept the election results…
I say we burn it all to the ground before we let them do it again.
Agreed.
Only 700 people were polled.
They’ll try anything and everything to make Sanctimonious look good.
Just getting started. Everything will be faked like weve never seen before and it still wont be enough to install DeSantis. The propaganda is for the media cover to hide the fraud.
And, since they know no MAGAs, the polled all DeSantis supporters…
Only 700 selected people. This is what they did with climate panic almost a decade ago. They sent out 300 questionnaires to scientists asking if they believed in a climate crisis. They got 900 or so replies so they selected 300 who agreed with them and sent out a second questionnaire to them. They then reported that 97% of scientists believe that there is a climate crisis.
These days they just make it up in a meeting.
Only a “dead heat?” Setting expectations pretty low team Meatwad.
Leaving some room for the fake swing of undecideds to go to DeSantis after the next round of lawfare against the President.
Just remember how Fox News pushed fake polling during the 2020. They’re going to rinse and repeat with Meatball vs. Trump.
Trump will shred these bastards!
The phony horse-race helps pretenders invested in TDS denialism.
They’re going to need daily stunts to keep this one up.

Remember….that’s easy to do if you robo-call specific geographical areas in Florida (or anywhere).
Moreover, you need a geographical area to hit that has a higher percentage of people that answer incoming phone calls from numbers not in their contact list.
Real easy.
Dutchman occasionally reminds us, “MAGA don’t poll!” My words, not his actual words.
Iow, we don’t trust polling anymore so we hang up on their calls or don’t answer.
Dutch’s bigger point, at least for me, is Trump leads the polls and it’s almost all non-MAGA Republicans or independents completing the polls…and not us.
I’m not tired of winning!
I wonder if the organizing and fundraising for Rob’s “not-running, running” breaks federal election finance laws. And how are they laundering the book money?
You nailed it completely last summer / spring. The whole thing is so manufactured and false.
Book money is accounted to personal wealth.
Ten Million from Rupert Murdoch, foreign owner of Faux Nooz and Harper/Collins publishing.
Meatball has already been paid his thirty pieces of silver.
Yes, yes, it’s all “coincidental.” Right. These people are all fakers too. Pushaw is a lying, dissembling clown. Good article Sundance, in accord with your usual high quality. I can’t understand how they all seem to believe the rest of us are all blind, stupid, AND gullible. Do they think they’re that clever?
Such is the way of hubris.
Read my comment on INTERNAL polls; they are “flying blind” and have no idea WHAT we think, and they don’t know what they don’t know.
And most importantly, they don’t care what we think. It matters not one whit to them.
This is SO much fun!!!
ROFLOL!!!! No. They’re really that egotistical, stupid, and (wait for it) prideful, which, BTW, is the first deadly sin, that tripped up the devil!!!
Idiots!
My theory: DS placed her in Govs office specifically to recruit influencers to convince Rob to take on Trump. Mission accomplished.
Look, as Seb points out in the video above, he’s effectively owned by an Obama bundler(or AT LEAST one.) Once you have that data point, it’s hard to make it more complicated. It really is.
Seb Gorka does a great job in this interview. He mentions Ken Griffin as the Obama bundler at around the six minute mark of the video.
Thanks for posting this video Sundance.
Well worth the 15 minutes to watch the entire video. He says meatball Ron is essentially running as an Austin Powers like “mini me” version of President Trump.
I’ve been digging into Christina Pushaw as has others and it definitely has hit a sore spot with them. More than Pushaw has interesting Ukraine connections. She did work for Mikheil Saakashvili. Read through her Registration for Foreign Agent but pay extra attention to who she had meetings with. Saakashvili was also a friend of McCain and attended his funeral.
There are DeSantis influencers literally attacking Trump supporters for bringing up her connections.

https://efile.fara.gov/docs/7122-Exhibit-AB-20220707-2.pdf
Didn’t she work on the president of Ukraine’s campaign? Ain’t that enough? Ukraine is a puppet of the Deep State so that make it’s head of state an installed puppet. She worked to help install the puppet.
What else you need to know?
Michael Caputo has been playing defense for her too, comparing us to the Russiagaters. Laughable but let’s me know Sundance is on the right track.
Capitol is over there w/ Pushaw in a photo…
She sounds like see-I-ay.
You can take the snake out of the forest, but you can’t take the forest out of the snake.
You can’t take the snake out of the snake more like it
That sounds like an insult to woodlands!
Good.
We need to keep her focused in the headlights.
Pushaw is a major liability to the DeSplitter camp.
Doesn’t she have links to the McCain’s?
It is interesting to read about Saakashvili. He was born in Georgia (USSR) but is a US-educated lawyer, became president of Georgia after having helped overthrow his predecessor. He founded an “opposition party” in Georgia and is credited with making modernizing reforms in Georgia. Went into exile in Ukraine, but returned to Georgia to support his opposition party. He is in prison in Georgia for “abuse of power”.
Reading between the lines, he sounds like a US/CIA asset/puppet being manipulated like Zelensky. Vladimir Putin credits him with causing the conflict between Georgia and Russia.
The fact that Pushaw worked for him makes it almost positive she is a shady character.
Almost?
Look! . . . . . all these ‘scientists’ agree that man made climate change is real. If you don’t agree, then you’re not smart like these scientists.
Look! . . . . . all these ‘intelligence experts’ signed this letter saying the Hunter Biden Laptop is Russian disinformation. If you think it’s real, then you’re not smart like these experts.
Look! . . . . . all these influential ‘conservatives’ think Ron is the best candidate. If you don’t agree with them, then you’re not a real conservative.
Rinse & Repeat ad nauseam . . . .
Chickens all cackle in unison also but they’re still chickenheads and its just noise.
If you hug trees ate pine nuts and dropped acid in your youth then most likely you did it because it was cool or the in thing.
Influencing herd behavior is physops. Climate change is 5th generation warfare selling the biggest lie ever told as an excuse to enslave western civilization and return the serfs to the dark ages and put them in thrall!
One Henny Penny says the sly is falling so what. 1,000 Henny Pennys say the sky is falling then a critical thinker still says you’re a chickenhead and prove it.
Hey I dropped acid in my youth, it WAS cool,…but then I grew up.
Glad you grew up. Doing pretty well, I’d say!
“Expert”= so thats a former spurt, right?
As Zig Zieglar put it, “An ex is a has-been and a spurt is a drip under pressure “
it is a propaganda technique i used to teach (to get students to be more wary of media reporting on medical/toxicology/chemical/environmental issues) — “bandwagon” and “trusted expert”
Barf!
DeSantis started running for President in 2020, during the miderms!
Recall how DeSantis went to states supposedly pushing and endorsing Republicans to win.
It wasn’t about them. It was about DeSantis, as a governor, getting his NAME and FACE out there to run for President.
He did this because few had heard of him before.
2022 were the midterms, and I saw his Charlie Kirk events; he was “all about Ron” and did nothing to “share the spotlight” with the candidates he was supposedly there to “help”.
Therein lies Ron!’s gubernatorial election fraud.
It’s not difficult to determine the breed of politics that registered foreign agent Christina Pushaw runs in, or has run in, when you consider: she backs Volodymyr Zelenskyy; her ties to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation; WEF; Obama, & the McCain / Bush neoCON wing of the GOP. We also know from LinkedIn that she received her Master’s from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies that is known as a Deep State feeder institution. Capisce?
MAGA should be talking about Pushaw every day.
Bookmark the link to this piece for referral to others.
To repeat, “Barf”
We love our President Trump.
No apology or excuses.
We’re voting for President Trump.
He is our last shot at saving our country.
Well Christ is, but God often uses imperfect tools to achieve His aims.
So will Pushaw now say she/they also did not invite PBD and the others to the mansion?
I do not believe for a second that there was never a conversation had with the January 6, 2022 “influencers” about how to proceed in exalting DeSantis and trashing Trump in some form.
And I wonder if PBD is leaving that part out of his visit.
He seemed to flinch a bit when saying it was to watch DeSantis work.
All of this fits so well with how deceptive everything DeSantis has been.
He so wanted to make it look like he was the innocent guy who just got recruited by zealous fans and that he had nothing to do with the undermining of President Trump and MAGA scheme–
That all these people just acted on their own because they love DeSantis so much.
It was probably earlier. A few in that group made public announcements about how they were moving to Florida because Rod was so wonderful, Lisa Booth& Karol Markowicz I know for sure off the top of my head. Yeah, it was all planned.
All the deception I believe has hurt Ron DeSantis more than anything.
Americans are tired of politicians lying as a way of doing business; treating us like we are idiotic underlings.
100%
He lied – didn’t he tell Floridians in a lie of omission that he only wanted to retire his opponent for Governor?
Then she lied (Poooshawe) about the Pseudo campaign that never was until it was. She lied again about set up meetings and she is living a lie since she has dual loyalties as a registered foreign agent.
Borka nailed it, this feckless combo has absolutely no honor, no integrity and in effect would be a GOPe equivalent of sleezy Joe in perhaps lessor degree.
Believe them when they tell you and SHOW you who they are.
As far as the talking heads? Those dudes in the photo are being ridden like Schwinns !
After I watched the video the question Im asking myself is why did these YT influencers (Patrick David, Gorka, Sosnick and Tom Ellsworthignore) ignore the obvious elephant in the room and why do we let them get away with it?
Why question every bad decision DeSantis makes that would typically disqualify a candidate from winning an election without contemplating the reason for it which is found in the last two elections?
What they cant/wont say: DeSantis is not trying to get elected, hes waiting to be installed.
The hardcore RDS influencers appear to have all taken a solemn pledge to affirm the 2020 election, because to disavow it would be to side with Trump.
Any political person who won’t call the 2020/2022 elections for what they are isn’t fit to lead. Nothing else matters.
And actually I do know at least one reason why they ignore the obvious. Its because the installations are so critical to the establishments success that anyone who talks about it on YouTube will be censored and/or DE platformed.
It just seems odd.
He was already talking about pardoning Trump and told Donors that he can because Trump won’t be in the picture long because he would be indicted.
Who was saying that?
I was on Outkick earlier and Clay Travis was saying that every republican candidate should affirm that they will pardon Trump. Said it on the air. Cheap shot as far as I am concerned. Enough that I will not be visiting Outkick again anytime soon.
And there you go; NOT convicted, not in prison, “indicted”.
“Russian agent” didn’t work.
“Impeached” (which is actually like an indictment) TWICE,..didn’t work.
But they think INDICTED is going to sway public opinion enough to lose him primaries? No.
They think him being indicted “with 100 felonies!” will be an acceptable (by the base) excuse for the RNC to deny him the nomination.
THATS their play. And Braggs coming up with 34 indictments for the same crime is the tell; you watch.
When the Georgia indictments drop, another 34 or so, for a phone call.
That leaves Smith in DC, to bring it up to 100.
Kind of the reverse of pricing something at $5.99 instead of $6.00.
Also, like the R’s R&R votes on obummercare FIFTY times, when five would have made the point.
They’ll do the “pretend they didn’t hear the question” BS.
It is NEVER what they’re saying…it’s what THEY’RE NOT SAYING.
Dodge, duck, dip, dive, dodge
Those guys doing the interview are ‘pretending not to know things’. Or, as I call them, ass*.
Well said…. True!
QUESTION: Why do none of these influencers ask why they are being invited to “watch” DeSantis?
ANSWER: They know exactly why they were asked to come, and they are very well aware of most…if not all…of the things you point out re: the DeSplitter campaign, it’s origins, the flaws in the Meatball, and what is happening within the GOP 2024 power-struggle.
They know exactly what is happening, and why.
And the fact they are pretending not to know, and not discussing it openly, tells everyone else everything they need to know about these people. Patrick Bet-David and Gorka clearly understand exactly what is happening, yet PBD accepted an invitation to “go watch DeSaster work”?? PBD should be condemning the Meatball to his 4.5M subscribers, repeating all Gorka was saying.
Ron DeSplitter needs to be BURIED by the MAGA movement. Politically DOA. Right along with anyone choosing to listen to them. Clearly, he is 100% fake.
If DeSantis can turn so easily against the man who made him…President Donald J Trump…he will do so to the voters as well, and with equal swiftness.
Loyalty means something. Loyalty is a massive component of faith.
Any conservative influencer not stressing 100% unity behind President Trump in this, our last chance election cycle, is making themselves an enemy to the Republic they claim to love. And anyone working for or with the DeSplitter campaign already has.
I don’t know who this PBD is…never heard of him..but he will have spent his 30 pieces by the time the Commies come knocking at his door.
I’ve watched several of his interviews with Wendy Webb–worth the watch.
why does an influencer (I hate that term, they do not influence me) become an influencer? because they get paid to.
It’s even worse than that.
If they are pretending, then they know the truth. They know they are intentionally trying to split the GOP vote.
For money.
Even worse. Ron will be installed as the ‘winner’ of the Florida primary, so he can lose all necessary states in the general.
Hence, why Ron! never called for the Florida legislature to get rid of the machines.
Yes, I also noticed that meatball AND THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE never bothered to change Florida’s fraudulent voting machines.
That says it all, don’t you agree?
And now, meatball threatens to PRIMARY his own state reps if they do not endorse him? Not a good look, meatball! Not a good look at all!
Proverbs 3 has numerous nuggets of solid gold…Authenticity is evident to those with eyes to see and ears to hear (v.21)… All the attacks on Trump while Gov. DeSantis lays in wait…”Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.” v. 27 Light shines through Trump, (Matthew 5:16) while DeSantis squirms like a worm in the shadows.
Florida resident with eyes to see and ears to hear…
Cynical, shameless, soulless shills. All of DeSatan’s “influencers” (lol).
Christina Pushaw was a major campaign advisor and publicist for Zelensky in his 2017 election for President of Ukraine. No doubt that Victoria Nuland was instrumental in putting Pushaw in this position so how did she wind up on the DeSantis Campaign????
She’s on the DeeCabal campaign. If Meatball slips up, they go to the next “viable” (🤣) candidate and push this hogwash. I’m sort of glad they’re doing it early; let’s get this sheeaat out of the way.
Victoria Nuland, and her magical revolution coloring book.
Altho Gorka can be a garbage at times, this time, he was spot on.
Yup. Esp. in the first opening salvo.
I share your thoughts on Seb Gorka.
For that reason I was hesitant to watch. Glad I did though because, as you point out, he was spot on here!
I don’t trust Gorka one bit..just a gut feeling.
Relief Factor is hogwash..
Never tried it. 🤣
Why didn’t Seb ask Patrick why he agreed to attend Take Your Influencer to Work Day, and what were the terms? This reminds me that I want to ask Bannon why he let Cortes on the air a single time after the RDS planted video surfaced from FL last year (thank you, Sundance) where Tyrmand tries to tell the crowd Trump is over, make way for RDS, the crowd is largely silent, and Cortes on stage adjacent says NOTHING. Cortes was dead to me instantly, and later I researched the Veritas board and realized Tyrmand was the one who deep-sixed O’Keefe. How can Trump find anyone to trust in any swamp-draining role when “our side” is so teeming with snakes and leeches?
🤣 “Take Your Influencer to Work Day”. 🤣🤣🤣
And, it is these grass roots VOLUNTEER (unpaud) activists, that are like the factory workers of a political party; they do the actual work, they create the PRODUCT of a political party.
The higher ups in the State Party and in the RNC (PAID Position$) are like “management”, they primarily focus on #’s, money and resources.
And, what this activist is talking about is the equivalent of a strike, a “walk out” because the factory workers are tired of being abused and taken for granted.
The behavior of the RNC and State R parties, their blatant tone deafness is not new in kind, but it is in degree.
They used to not be quite so obvious about it; when they fought Goldwaters campaign in 1964, Reagans first two unsuccessful runs, they at least tried to keep up appearances.
I really think this is because they are going by what their “internal polling” is telling them.
Campaigns and parties Internal polling is very different than those commissioned and released by the media.
With internal polling, they are trying to get an accurate idea of “where they stand” and MAGA not doing polls, is scewing the data.
Hence their polling of “likely” or “registered REPUBLICANS told them Rob Desanctimonious COULD run as “Trump without the baggage” and win against PDJT.
Its the occams razor answer, to explain their total lack of understanding.
Because MAGA don’t do polls, the responces they get are from those R voters that don’t like PDJT, or at least are not like this activist (NOT MAGA) ..picking a #, lets say thats 30 percent of R voters,…but thats virtually the ONLY respondents they get.
Hence, they are confident, because their polling data
TELLS them so, that R voters are really WANTING a “MAGA, but without Trumps baggage” alternative.
These are R voters that are susceptible to the “mean tweets” and “fights with everybody” argument.
And, politicos have it ingrained into them, to run campaigns based on this internal polling data; they poll test campaign slogans, what policy positions the candidate should run on, heck they will focus group his tie color.
They TRUST THE DATA, and just can’t concieve of it being WRONG.
(These are) R voters (who) are really WANTING a “MAGA, but without Trumps baggage”. These are R voters that are susceptible to the “mean tweets” and “fights with everybody” argument.
You know why?
A: Because, for whatever reason…and I don’t understand it….R voters are TERRIBLE at rhetorical gamesmanship, while the left is superb at it (in part because they are passive aggressive as all of hell).
Lemme give you an example.
Say a leftist calls an R voter an “intolerant bigot” in front of others. Instantly, the R voter cringes and feels embarrassment. Instantly placed on the rhetorical defensive.
Instead of cringing, the R voter should openly embrace the accusation, and flip it back on the bolshevik.
”You’re damn right I am an intolerant bigot. I am intolerant and bigoted of all kinds of things, like murder, rape, theft…all manner of crime. Come to think of it, I’m intolerant and bigoted against all kinds of evil crap. And you know what else? So are all sane, intelligent people. And it’s self-evident that it’s a good thing most of us are! Now, I am assuming you are too….you double-talking snake in the grass…that you would agree that you are also intolerant of murder, rape, theft and all manner of crime. Which makes you something I am not. A DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE! You accuse me of being exactly what you are! Which means you are not a serious person and no one should listen to you. You are a name-calling, bullying hypocritical brat who throws out meaningless hypocritical accusations in an attempt to dehumanize others who disagree with you and put them on a rhetorical defensive, mainly because you cannot defend your politics any other way. You are a child, and an ignorant one at that.”
And you know what else happens at that moment?
Leftists have absolutely ZERO emotional intelligence. Specifically, no emotional self discipline. They cannot handle a conservative who rhetorically slaps them around this way. They lose their minds. They are very easily triggered.
Here’s the uppercut. When they get mad….and they will…responding with a FU or something similar….laugh in their face.
“LMAO. Bro, you are turning as red as my MAGA cap! Look at you! LOL You know I’m right, too. You are a pathetic hypocritical bully pushing a double standard. You are as intolerant as anyone but you point your childish little finger at me? Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!”
Believe me. It shuts them right the hell on up. They quit the field and run away.
The only way to beat them is to rhetorically stand up to them and turn their own words against them. As Alinsky said, make them play by their own rule book, and employ ridicule in doing so.
Somehow, for whatever reason, all too many R voters have yet to figure this out.
It’s like a real life game of hunter vs. hunted. The #1 rule is: when hunted, become the hunter. Kill, or die. Law of the fittest. Be non-confrontational, polite, and peaceful as a rule, but the second you get confronted by a bully, you confront the bully right back! DO NOT ACCEPT ABUSE FOR ANY REASON. BE INTOLERANT OF ABUSE, INCLUDING VERBAL ABUSE. Turn it back upon them, with both barrels.
Leftists cannot win a fair debate. This is why they resort to name-calling and using dehumanizing labels, pretending that logic and reason are moot if it comes from a (insert the insult) Recognize the game…they are rhetorically stalking (read: hunting) you. Recognize the moment and turn the tables on them!
When you do, they’ll tuck tail and run away like the cowardly jackals they are.
Pro tip: If someone is being a hypocrite, it is not name-calling to call them a hypocrite. Also, always keep your cool. In the example above, the response is not delivered in an angry rant, but rather an amused, conversational tone. You are the lion, toying with the jackal. There is nonreason to fear jackals, especially in a rhetorical confrontation.
This is why President Trump shines, and why they hate him so much.
What the whole “without Trump’s baggage” meme means is all too many R voters are too damned nice, and they have bought into the leftist double-standard that Trump is too mean while they can be as nasty as they like. These R voters are non-confrontational people. Just want to be left alone.
They better wake up and learn from Trump FAST. Time is short and the clock is ticking.
Delicate sensibilities dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.
I prefer kicking ass myself.
It’s the RINO REPUBLICANS we are fighting on behalf of President Trump. They are the ones lining up to defeat him. The RINOS would be perfectly ok with another Dem president.
Even when supplied to them by 51 intelligence agents.
IMO, The ONLY reason RdS is seen as a ‘good’ governor is because he has been given some pre-planned ‘social issues’ to push back against. Issues that ANY sensible person (let alone a politician) would push back against.
Somebody put a fire hose in RdS hands and said, ‘OK, we’re lighting the fires now. You spray them with water.’ And the onlookers said, ‘Wow. What a guy’.
And at first, I was one of those onlookers too.
But this ‘presidential race’ is not about winning.
RdS ‘winning’ is like Kevin McCarthy ‘winning’ debt ceiling negotiations. That is, the people get NOTHING. This presidential race is about MAGA nationalists versus RINO/DEM/WEF/WHO/Gates-Fauci/BlackRock-Vanguard globalists. And RdS is NOT on the side of MAGA. The (R) next to his name means zero, zip, nothing.
And that means no RdS in ’28, ’32 or VP, ever.
Yup.
They have been playing with an inherent “unfair” advantage; we CARED that a Dem not win, THEY didn’t.
S.Carolina R voters are not “stupid” for reelecting Lindsey. The alternative was a flaming liberal.
Ditto, in Kentucky, against Mitch the Dems ran a raving commie.
And Abrams against Kemp?
So, as “Republican” voters, they “held there nose” and voted for the “lesser of two weavils” voting for the RINO, because “the Dem is worse”.
And WHY woulf the DEMS run such candidates, in “red” States? Wouldn’t it make more sense, IF THEY WANTED TO WIN, and unseat a Republican, to run a “moderate” Dem candidate?
You would almost think the Dems were trying to INSURE the R candidates would win.
And, along with seeing NO Dem trying to challenge Joe, this is why I continue to think Joe WILL be the Dem candidate for 2024.
To FORCE R voters to vote for RDS, “cause Joe is worse”, and writing in “Trump” is just “giving it to Joe”.
As long as WE care, and they DON’T, they have an advantage. Since we can’t get them (RINOS) to care, the only way we can level the playing field, is to vote with the attitude “if it ain’t PDJT, we DON’T CARE who you install!
RDS, JOE, Karmala, or that RINO ass of a Governor from Virginia,…WE DON’T CARE.
You forget RFKJr is officially on the Dem ticket. The Dems will have to deal with him, probably like they dealt with Bernie, altho I think RFKJr has more integrity than Bernie.
Their efforts on behalf of Biden will be amusing to watch.
“we CARED that a Dem not win, THEY didn’t”
Yep, exactly how things played out in my state last election for senator. Oh, there was an R challenger but she was so unserious actually running in two different states at the same time. I prayed for a quality challenger to the incumbent RHINO, but I think because of Trumps early endorsement, none ever showed. So in that race I think Trumps endorsement actually hurt the chances of unseating the RHINO.
I agree.
Meatball Ron’s successes as governor were not organic. They were gamed out in advance and scripted by this club who is backing/pushing him now.
With Sundance putting out these pictures of the Jan 6th, 2022 meeting, we can see that all the media support is not organic either. It’s Pravda. Reading Sundance’s article, I just put together that this meeting took place on Jan 6th. Was that a coincidence? Jan 6th? Why does thar date stand out? One year to the day after the Coup d’Etat.
I can see it here in the Boston, MA area where Radio Show Howie Carr’s assistant Grace Curley has been leaning towards the pro-DeSantis position. Can’t help but think it’s all part of the same game.
Mean tweets bad. DeSantis good.
They have been MAGA, MAGA, MAGA all along. They even had President Trump call into their show on occasion. Why the change? I guess they are not in the business of politics. They are in the business of box office. Political battles make for good box office I guess.
The support is not organic. It’s fake. Fake on its face. As fake as Pushaw’s face.
DeSantis is definitely jumping the shark here, and Christina ‘Pushy’ is not only lying her a** off, she’s turned a lot of people off with that caustic sarcasm.
It’s the nudge campaign they are hiding. They don’t want folks connecting this meeting with the ever so subtle change in the tone of these people’s online engagement. The nudge techniques must be TOP SECRET….lmao.
Gorka nailed it.
And I’m not surprised.
The organizer on that video is spot on. Betrayed and used is exactly how many of us feel.
We’re tired of being played and that is exactly what team Ron! did to the voters who reelected him.
He will serve for four years after he gets beaten by Trump but will be a vastly diminished governor.
At 13:00 or so in the above video (and as much as I’m not sold on Gorka, this was a good interview)….I think that the endorsements indicate more about the person doing the endorsement, rather than who they are endorsing. Whether Musk, Rubin, Benny Johnson, whomever….if they endorse DeSantis, I no longer have any use for them.
I feel exactly the same way. No use for them. I listened to Clay and Buck on occasion in the past. I stopped.
He’s the Mini-Me to President Trump
That’s so spot-on and hilarious! There’s a lot of talent here at CTH, so somebody puh-leeze do a photoshop of that!
Just plain fishy.
For my own education, can someone explain to me where this Patrick Ben David came from, how is it that he suddenly became ubiquitous, does he say anything novel or insightful , and um whats with the poor grammar and strange accent?
Not saying I don’t like him; I’m just trying to understand.
(i’m half-serious)
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
What is Ben Sasse role in all of this? Clearly he had prior knowledge of the DeSantis plan, and he positioned himself out of the Senate into the University of Florida –very curious.
Yeah , I don’t think he moved to Florida just for the weather.

Let’s not look at who’s flying the plane or the true crew of the plane..Deep State is gonna Deep State. There are trillions at stake.
Hi guys, longtime reader here.
Love your analysis Sundance and maybe y’all can shed light on this.
What is the point of any if it if voter fraud is not addressed? I know it’s been discussed here, but what is stopping the very people backing DeSantis from doing the same the to Trump that was done to him in 2020? This is a cross-party effort to prevent Trump from being in the race, and if they somehow fail at that and he’s still in, why would we believe that the GOPe would behave any differently than the democrats on having a free and fair election?
I fully remember the Chris McDaniel race several years ago—and now they have an even better playbook on how to steal elections. I am not seeing any visible effort from Trump’s team on addressing this other than his Truths, and I would love to be corrected if so.
Authenticity
Proven
Performs positively for people, no matter the duress,
Trump
The politics is trying to set up an issue a pivot point for people to shift their support.
It’s a media ignored REAL anti-american, corrupt globalist entity ( whomever is named the front person ) that pretends to support people but coerces jabs, enjoys economic shutdowns, masking, and porous borders while wasting resources abroad and domestically
vs
a media hyped, fake collusionist, fake charged person
that is honestly, authentically, and proven to help america and the world. ( 45 and associates).
‘They’ ( the nefarious globalists etal that miss work hehind the scene$)
want to make it look like a tough choice
via forming a foggy bottom, illusionary mass psychosis, combined with $elective manipulation$,
but
many see through the fog, can keep it simple… via the truths ( 45 and associates ).
Imho
p.s.
an air of disgust with current circumstances was sensed over the weekend. ( fewer flags displayed on houses, people mentioning the corrupt nature of current miss leaders…trying to feel out whether others feel similarly ( they found company)….
…while going on with business, or volunteer service as usual and / or improvising honest ways to overcome unnecessary hurdles ( created by current miss leaders)..while honoring, remembering those that have served and passed on.
All gave some,
some gave their all.
It continues…
Love thy neighbors
ron! has sh!t the bed with Floridians, for lack of a better term. There is nothing that will bring a huge swath of us around to willingly vote for him, ever. The Spooky Trollop knows this, jeb! knows and so does Georgy Schwartz, so do all the big money movers and shakers. Either they plan on cheating to insert ron! or they planned all along for him to lose to joketato or Newsome.
Forks is right about “authenticity” which is why trump will win in a fair fight. Period
Imagine a Venn Diagram from the 2022 Florida gubernatorial election, divided into three sections:
1) Left side: Pro-Trump/Anti-DeSantis
2) Overlap: Pro-Trump/Pro-DeSantis
3) Right side: Anti-Trump/Pro-DeSantis
The largest section would be the overlap in the middle. Those folks are probably pretty miffed at DeSantis for reneging on his pledge to serve his full term as governor. But, what probably really stings, is that they are being treated like they are stupid.
Who are you kidding, this all started the day Trump left office.
Looks like Ron is committing an old Republican sin;
Dancin with the people that bought him instead of the ones who brought him.
DeSantis is the Deep State candidate.
The guy in the Twitter vid has a valid point. Puddin’s people like to point to his reelection margin of victory as proof that he’s a super dee duper guy, but how much of that was MAGA supporters setting him up for ’28 and ’32?
How many of them were refugees from COVID who weren’t going to get fooled into voting for a socialist like Crist? Crist publicly stated he was open to mask mandates and mandatory vax for state employees. He might as well have put a gun to his campaign’s head and squeezed the trigger.
What did Crist do that ron! isn’t doing now? ron! let private businesses in Florida with more than 100 employees demand their workers get poked. Ask my friends at Publix who had to fight tooth and nail to keep their jobs with no jabs. Voter turnout in my 80% (R) County for 2022 was so pathetic, it’s a wonder anybody won the election! I am seriously doubting the numbers they tout.
Living there puts you in a better position to judge conditions on the ground. I’m in a nearby red state so I can only rely on the lies the MSM tells me.
My point is that Puddin’s big victory over Crist was driven by many external factors unrelated to his charm and charisma.
Puddin
LOL
It’s a mess here, p.
Agreed.
I am a Floridian Trumper too.
Feel exactly the same way.
Loved Desantis as Governor, but now that he no longer wants to be Governor, and is anti-Trump, Desantis has slit his own throat as far as i am concerned. He is dead to me.
why do people like the last video give a long talk while walking, or driving? trying to make it seem like a conversation?
Uniparty Masterstroke: DeSantis takes himself out for future MAGA endeavors while torpedoing Trump. Who is the MAGA successor to Trump now?
They take out President Trump and make sure the GOPe never have to worry about working for the American people ever again and can just settle into permanent fundraising mode!
DeSantis Is Decaffeinated Covfefe !
Why is The Treehouse obsessed with this mediocre man’s story ?
🙄
Dude, the guy is in charge of my State, while on whosever’s private jet on his way to Iowa. We have multidecade unresolved issues here that have been compounded in the last two years that are going to render this place unlivable.
Obsessed? No
Mediocre man? Yes
The attention is not due to this mediocre man himself. It’s due to all the phony pumped up support by the Uniparty media and donors.
It’s not organic hype it’s Botox hype.
All fake all the time.
