Podcast appearances and mentions of Ron DeSantis

In this no-holds-barred episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu and his co-host Drew tackle a whirlwind of current events reshaping economics, politics, and culture. Kicking off with headlines like Elon Musk stepping down from Doge and the shocking viral spat between French President Macron and his wife, the duo wastes no time diving deep. Tom and Drew connect these disparate stories, skillfully tracing the throughline back to the undercurrents of the global financial system and the often unseen hand of central banking. From government spending and politics-as-power, to the intricacies of private, corporate, and personal debt, Tom breaks down complex ideas with relatable metaphors—making the abstract tangible. Whether you're seeking a crash course in monetary policy, interested in the psychological chess match of global power, or just love hearing top thinkers untangle the news, this first half of the episode sets the stage with energy and insight.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, rouge federal district judges are issuing nationwide injunctions against President Trump's voter-supported policies. These judges overstep their constitutional authority, seizing power from elected branches by imposing policy preferences disguised as legal rulings, particularly on immigration and executive actions.  The one big beautiful bill passed by the House would limit judges' ability to enforce contempt citations and would require plaintiffs to post financial bonds for injunctions. Afterward, the Trump administration's Middle East trip was a globalist foreign policy, which involved active engagement with other nations. Interventionism is different from globalism; they do overlap but aren't identical. Interventionism is negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia or engaging with Iran.  Also, who is the senior Trump administration official who keeps leaking to Axios and driving an intentional wedge between America and Israel? They're undermining Trump and the purported purpose of the negotiations with Iran.  NSC, DOJ, and the FBI need to open up a leak investigation. Later, Trump's actions against Harvard are patriotic and long overdue. Harvard and similar institutions promote Marxism and Islamism, discriminating against Asian students (as ruled by the Supreme Court), and historically providing cover for Nazis in the 1930s. Cutting federal and state subsidies and urging major donors to reconsider support is the way to address these issues. In addition, Gov Ron DeSantis calls in to discuss Convention of States movement. He explained that Congress's failures, driven by politicians' reelection incentives, require structural changes like term limits and a balanced budget requirement. DeSantis dismissed fears of a runaway convention, noting that amendments need three-fourths of states to ratify, ensuring only popular reforms pass. DeSantis also explains that cutting a deal with Iran is dangerous. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

COVID vaccine is no longer recommended for young children and pregnant women. Will there ever be accountability for the harms caused by the COVID vaccine? Billy Joel has a brain condition that's taking him off tour. Southwest Airlines' big changes have arrived. Alan Alda … dead or alive? Elon Musk has learned that politics is a bad investment as his DOGE cuts fade away. Is the gold still in Fort Knox? Consumer confidence is higher than expected. Laura Loomer stealing Pat's "Unleashed"?? Was Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) behind the autopen signature of President Joe Biden? What's next for South Africa?

Kennedy has removed the COVID shots from the CDC recommendations for children and pregnant women aren't telling the full story.First and foremost, at the writing of this newsletter, according to the CDC Website - the recommendations ARE STILL UP. So they even technically removed them yet.Moreover, the wording of their announcement states that the CDC is removing the recommendation for ‘healthy children and healthy pregnant women'. This is NOT a full removal and it could result in worse outcomes. Recommending the poison shots for ‘unhealthy' or high risk pregnant women and children is reckless and dangerous because the immune compromised are at FAR GREATER risk for severe vaccine injury and death.And lastly, over 170 million Americans would fit the CDC's official definition of ‘high risk' (aka (unhealthy) making the change inapplicable to a vast population and what's worse is that pregnancy itself is listed as a ‘high risk' condition … meaning the recommendation stands for ALL pregnant women as they ALL fit the definition of high risk.Today we welcome Dr. Naomi Wolf on the show to discuss this topic and last weeks bombshell testimony on the devastating toxicity of the COVID mRNA shot delivered at the Unites States Senate. Many of the shocking revelations were discovered by Daily Clout's volunteer team in 2021 and 2022 and were compiled in the seminal publication ‘The Pfizer Papers', yet surprisingly most of the speakers did not attribute their testimony to the team of researchers!It is also unfathomable that the hearing wasn't attended, promoted or even mentioned by leadership in HHS or the majority of the MAHA movement and even more devastating that the shots remain on the market in the USA for ANY human.LOTS to talk about today with Naomi!

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold takes aim at the headlines dominating the midweek news cycle, starting with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' move to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Jon questions the motives behind the legislation, suggesting it may be a calculated appeal to wealthy retirees or a play against the rising tide of Bitcoin. Speaking of Bitcoin, Herold breaks down Trump's latest crypto-friendly moves, including the push to integrate digital assets into 401(k) plans and the financial disruption on display at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Vegas, where GMoney made waves on the Rumble livestream. The auto-pen saga continues as Jon reviews Trump's scathing comments and David Sacks' claim that Elizabeth Warren was behind crypto-related executive orders. He remains skeptical but acknowledges the growing investigation. Updates on Judge Jeanine Pirro's appointment, NPR's First Amendment lawsuit, and race-based USDA loan forgiveness expose deeper structural rot. Herold also hammers Congress for stalling on codifying DOGE spending cuts, questions the true value of current FBI investigations, and highlights Trump's mock offer to make Canada the 51st state. With wit, frustration, and fire, Jon reminds listeners that until election integrity is restored, everything else is political theater.

Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:02:20)* Opening Banter: The hosts introduce themselves as the "two kings of the Rube Empire," self-described right-wing extremists, supernaturalists, and Christian bigots. They emphasize their unique perspective and humor.* Podcast Branding: Welcome to the Kingsplaining Podcast, described as the "greatest hour of your life."* Dusty's Return: The hosts acknowledge Dusty's absence and his role in keeping them "tethered to reality."

The New American Pope: Pope Leo (00:02:20 - 00:11:01)* Historic Appointment: The hosts discuss the appointment of Pope Leo, the first American Pope, hailing from Chicago. They note the historical avoidance of American popes to prevent perceived U.S. supremacy in the Catholic Church.* Skepticism and Critique: They express skepticism about the new Pope's Republican registration (2023), calling him a “Democrat light” due to Chicago's political reputation.* Catholic Practices Critiqued: The hosts critique Catholic veneration of Mary, saints, and the Pope, equating it to idolatry. They reference the Orlando shrine “Mary, Queen of the Universe” and compare it to pagan worship of figures like Ashtaroth.* Crowd Reaction: They mock the emotional response of Catholics weeping for joy at the Pope's announcement, contrasting it with Protestant reactions to new pastors.* Theological Debate: The hosts argue that Catholic practices deviate from biblical teachings, citing 1 Timothy 2:5 to challenge the necessity of intermediaries like Mary.2. Florida's Dominance (00:11:01 - 00:25:20)* Economic Success: Florida boasts the number one economy in the U.S. for the second consecutive year, with a $25 billion rainy day fund (up from $2 billion under Governor DeSantis).* Education Achievements: Florida has the best postgraduate education system, the cheapest tuition (unchanged for five years), and strong elementary school test scores, surpassing states like California and New York.* Policy Wins:* Fluoride Removal: Florida removed fluoride from its water supply, citing potential negative effects on children's mental development.* Chemtrail Ban: The state outlawed chemtrails, though federal control over airspace above 10,000 feet limits enforcement.* Vaccine Study: A Florida study, released on May 5, 2025, claims COVID-19 vaccines definitively killed 475,000 Americans, a topic the hosts note is suppressed by mainstream media.* Deportation Stance: Florida's Attorney General defied a Supreme Court ruling against ICE deportations, continuing state-level deportations.* Infrastructure: The I-4 Express lanes generate profit through optional tolls, funded without new taxes or debt.

A Somali bystander recorded the incident, sparking online backlash. A GoFundMe was started to support Hendricks.* Matt Walsh's Stance: Matt Walsh publicly disagreed with Ben Shapiro on this issue, appearing on Tucker Carlson's show to defend free speech, highlighting tensions within The Daily Wire.* Hosts' Perspective: They condemn the use of the N-word but argue that cancel culture disproportionately targets white individuals and that free speech must be upheld.4.

The Woke Right and Secular Liberalism (01:29:01 - 01:40:56)* Critique of Centrism: The hosts argue there is no “center” in morality—only holiness or its absence. They reject secular liberalism, which they see as leading to “woke” ideologies.* Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro: They criticize figures like Peterson and Shapiro for adopting a woke stance, particularly in defending Israel uncritically, which they compare to the left's identity politics.* Christian Nationalism Defined: The hosts define Christian nationalism as a desire to avoid “pissing off God” by upholding biblical principles, not racial or ethnic divisions. They advocate for laws rooted in justice and morality, not secular compromise.* Nick Fuentes Critique: They distance themselves from figures like Nick Fuentes, whose ethnostate advocacy they label as fascist and unaligned with American conservatism.* Cultural Shift: The hosts celebrate a societal shift toward conservatism and Christianity, noting increased church attendance among young men and growing anti-abortion sentiment (e.g., Oklahoma's abortion ban).6. Modern Art and Cultural Decline (01:41:17 - 01:47:55)* Modern Art Critique: The hosts mock modern art, citing examples like white-painted canvases and a banana taped to a wall as lacking creativity or meaning. They argue true art requires talent and expression.* CIA Psyop Theory: They claim modern art began as a CIA operation to confuse Soviet perceptions of Western culture, later becoming a vehicle for money laundering and cultural destruction.* Met Gala and Celebrity Culture: The hosts dismiss events like the Met Gala as irrelevant, noting the decline of traditional celebrity influence and the rise of comedians like Shane Gillis, who reflect societal truths.7.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One —   Florida has become the second state in the country to ban local governments from adding fluoride to their public water systems. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill on Thursday. The law is set to go into effect on July 1. Utah also has a ban in place.   Two --- The FAA's hotline between the Department of Defense and Reagan National Airport in D.C. has been out of service for three years.  The agency's deputy chief operating officer confirmed the information during a Senate hearing Wednesday. The official said the FAA takes safety responsibilities very seriously and is insisting the line be fixed before resuming any operations out of the Pentagon.   And number three —  The U.S. Census Bureau says Detroit's population grew for the second year in a row.  The data shows that the city gained almost seven-thousand residents between 2023 and 2024.  Mayor Mike Duggan says for the first time since the 1950s, the mayor of Detroit can say the city is leading the state in population growth.  Detroit ranks the 26th largest city in the country.

Using the tragic murder of a South Carolina woman by illegal immigrant gang members as a flashpoint, the host calls out political cowardice and exposes how Ron DeSantis' partnership with federal agencies is successfully driving criminal migrants out of Florida. The conversation then shifts to a sweeping public health crisis, connecting fluoride, microplastics, and toxic food additives to rising neurological disorders like ADHD. Drawing parallels to Big Tobacco's cover-up, this broadcast warns of an inevitable wave of lawsuits and societal awakening. Raw, urgent, and unfiltered—this is a call to action for a nation on the edge.

In this impassioned monologue, the host calls out South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster for inaction on illegal immigration, contrasting it with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive deportation efforts. The episode highlights a tragic murder tied to alleged gang activity by undocumented teens, demanding immediate policy changes. The conversation then shifts to health concerns, drawing parallels between today's widespread use of fluoride, plastics, and synthetic food chemicals with the tobacco industry's past deceptions. The host warns of impending class action lawsuits and a national reckoning over what we eat, drink, and store our food in.

In Episode 7 of OnlyLands, a lively lineup of Badlands Media hosts takes on the week's most outrageous headlines, from Trump's royal welcome in Saudi Arabia to Jake Tapper's “Original Sin” book and the implosion of the Biden coverup narrative. The crew dissects Trump's purple-carpeted entrance in Riyadh, reads the symbolism, and compares the treatment of Trump vs. Biden by MBS, complete with horses, fanfare, and “Enter Sandman” conspiracy theories. The panel takes a hard turn into the culture war with a deep dive into James Lindsay and Seth Dillon's “woke right” narrative. They rip into the op as a controlled opposition psyop designed to gatekeep MAGA thought and shield the regime from criticism. What starts as a rant on intellectual frauds turns into a brutal takedown of Babylon Bee hypocrisy, the Ron DeSantis simp brigade, and the rise of anti-questioning orthodoxy disguised as conservatism. Also on the docket: South African farmer refugees, awkward Elon claps, Mandela effect rabbit holes, and the absolute demolition of Chuck Todd's attempt to memory-hole Biden's decline. It's conspiratorial, hilarious, and brutal, in other words, peak OnlyLands.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media decides that, actually, refugees are bad now. All it took was the Trump administration accepting a handful of persecuted white people as refugees.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson joins Tara on-air to address speculation about a potential run for governor, stating a decision is likely but not final. He responds directly to accusations from Rep. Nancy Mace, including claims that he's failed to prosecute pedophiles and acted corruptly—calling the allegations misleading and politically motivated. Wilson highlights his office's track record on child protection, recent legislative wins, and ongoing efforts with federal programs to combat illegal immigration. He also shares his views on potentially deputizing state officials, similar to Florida's approach under Governor Ron DeSantis.

A South Carolina woman, Larisha Sherrell Thompson, was found shot to death in her car near Lancaster during what authorities say was a botched robbery. Six suspects—all reportedly illegal immigrants from Honduras, including juveniles—have been charged. The incident has ignited a fiery debate over immigration enforcement, with criticism directed at Governor Henry McMaster for not taking stronger action like Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida. The broadcast expands into a critique of national immigration policy and a detailed analysis of recent U.S.–China trade developments, framing both within a broader political narrative.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Rich notes that because of the enormous sum of “earned media” surrounding the confrontation, Baraka—a candidate for New Jersey governor—might have a real chance to win the Democratic Party's primary next month. 6:30pm- Christian Adams—President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss death threats against Donald Trump supporters in Pennsylvania during the 2024 presidential election cycle.

In 2022, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed a state's parental rights bill which Disney criticized and inaccurately referred to as a “Don't Say Gay” bill.

On today's podcast, Stephanie and Tara talk about Trump announcing a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs with China, drama surrounding Qatar wanting to donate a $400 millionplane to the DOD to replace Air Force One, and unhinged members of Congress trying to force their way into an ICE detention facility for an “oversight” visit.

In this jam-packed episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul break down a week of global and domestic shakeups, from the historic rise of Pope Leo XIV to Trump's tactical reshuffling of the DOJ. They analyze Ed Martin's blocked nomination, Judge Jeanine Pirro's appointment, and how Trump may be using interim roles to sidestep Senate obstruction. The conversation turns constitutional as the hosts explore Trump's potential suspension of habeas corpus, drawing from the Federalist Papers and court precedent to argue it's a return to founding principles, not tyranny. They also call out the regime media's likely meltdown and spotlight how public consensus may be the real weapon. Toss in takedowns of James O'Keefe's Epstein flop, Ron DeSantis' tax posturing, and a bold theory on Trump's “Great Reset,” and you've got a fast-moving, thought-provoking episode that connects the dots like only DPH can.

Florida A&M University is in search of a new president. Several finalists have been put forward, including Marva Johnson, who has strong ties to Governor DeSantis and his anti-DEI, anti-Black history stances. Members of the community spoke out against candidate Johnson, calling her a “political plant.” Will the board of trustees appoint a MAGA-like president or listen to the will of the community? Hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye will discuss.

Note: Do you hate it when politics are discussed in places you go for sports? Then skip this episode entirely or skip to 36:19. Things Discussed after 36:19 Leak to Thamel says NCAA told Michigan they'll suspend Sherrone for CMU and Nebraska. Sam: Leak is overblown—it's part of the back and forth with Michigan, not something that's been accepted. Would we take it? Brian thinks it's harsh but if this ends it, fine—you kowtow to the power and move on. Thamel aside, let's go over what Sherrone did. Facts we are relatively certain of: Sherrone deleted all of his texts off his phone around the time the Stalions thing came out, knowing he still has a copy of them. He then went and retrieved the texts for the investigators, and there was nothing incriminating on them. Seth: The question I have is whether he deleted those texts because he regularly cleans his phone, or was that unusual behavior? If it happens regularly this is just trying to make an innocuous thing sound as bad as they can. If it was unusual, then yeah, considering he's the coach now (he wasn't then), and considering how important we value transparency from people in positions of power, a two-week suspension (week->not an Urban Meyer suspension where you just sit out the game) is appropriate. Craig: Is it? If he did nothing wrong, why should he deserve a punishment? It's not a crime to not cover up what's not a crime. [Hit the JUMP for the rest of the discussion, the player, and video and stuff]  Things Discussed before 36:19: Santa Ono's departure and academic freedom (from start of the show): Turns out he was just another suit. Taking $3 million and taking his name of something he signed 2 weeks ago and go do what Ron DeSantis tells him tells you all you need to know. People are going to try to pretend this was taking a stand against the regents or because The Hammer is coming down or that this is about Warde's stance on NIL—whatever stupid narrative they want to believe in. People try to make everything fit the story they want to tell. You'd have to be a quisling to work at the University of Florida. Some empathy because becoming the face of something like that is a life-defining choice, and the nature of the job is you're going to have unreasonable people mad at you because, e.g., they think divesting Michigan from Intel will stop Netanyahu from killing Gazans to placate the far-right members of his coalition that are keeping him out of jail. Part of being the president of Michigan is you are going to have to take a stand for liberalism (as defined). Justice, knowledge, freedom of study: these liberal ideals are the foundational principles of our school, and our school is the best public university in the country. When those ideals are challenged, as they are now by an illiberal authoritarian administration in Washington, you have to tell them "No." And no, this isn't about their DEI policies either. The DEI Office was already was already the midst of being rearranged. And to be clear (Brian said, and I generally agree) we're in favor of that, because the expense of the university's bureaucracy (1 administrator to 5 students—don't quote us on that) is too much, and that money is better off being spent on housing, on improving the Go Blue Guarantee, and on more and better instructors. The most direct parts of the policy (e.g. student housing assistance) were also better off shifted, along with their funding, to parts of the administration that were already doing the same things, and the layers of forms and oversight were probably not the best way of accomplishing the admirable and necessary goal of taking responsibility for an equity of experience for students of certain minorities. Need to be clear: When the White House says "DEI" they aren't talking about Michigan's DEI office nor which books are in the library; they're talking about things like whether I can give a lecture to Dooley's class every semester on the history of integration in college athletics, or whether Women's Studies can be a subject matter. Next president, next on NIL (17 minutes) Next president: what do we want? Brian thinks it'll be another administrator off an expensive search. Seth thinks there are going to be big names calling the school because it's a prestigious job. We need someone who has values, someone who is going to stand up for the university, and (let's not forget) someone who is going to value athletics as an essential engine of the school's value. Brian's not concerned about that so much because the donors won't sit around long if we drop to 126th/134 teams in passing. It's not the donors worrying about that; it's the parts of the school that usually get lots of donations making that a concern. NIL: House settlement is going to include some sort of auditing process that is going to curtail the amount you can directly spend via NIL on players. Don't know how enforceable that is going to be. Congress is going to step in eventually to provide them an antitrust exemption or they're just going to keep getting sued. They might have done it by classifying the players as labor but that's unlikely if it happens now given the party in power who'd be crafting legislation right now is extremely anti-labor. We should say what we want in a president for Athletics: stand up for Michigan when the NCAA goes after them. Brian: Probably won't be facing any significant decisions since the big sports all have relatively new coaches (Why do you always say that?) What they need is someone who will have a spine. The Michigan community will support you. Seth: I'm not just looking for someone who'll rebel; I'm looking for someone who's going to win. Losing funding—which the government gave to the University not as a handout but because the People of the United States want, e.g., a cure for cancer and Michigan can put together the tools and best people to do that. Losing that funding would be devastating. It's not like they just stop doing the research—they already built the labs and financed it, so they'd be under water and lose capability to get it back. Brian: It's going to happen anyways. This is an administration of idiots making decisions based on wanting to hurt the people they don't like, and the University of Michigan is a bright blue beacon of every kind of value and kind of person they want to eradicate. Seth: So we don't just need a fighter; we need a uniter—someone who is going to get all the other institution's administrators (sorry, the faculty isn't the same thing), so when war comes they can win, or at least make it hurt. The towns that resisted the Danes got slaughtered and the towns that paid a danegeld just got more Danes; Alfred beat them by forming England. In the break: MGoBlog's readership, based on Google Analytics on how people voted for national offices, was about 55-45 Democrats to Republicans when I took over advertising in 2012. It's now close to 75-25, without shifting any other metrics about our readership, meaning we're still talking to (a lot more of) the same kind of (educated, hyper-curious) person, but that kind of person, if they ever were a Republican, is leaving the party now.

Across two charged segments, hosts condemn judicial interference, GOP betrayal, and deep state inertia while praising bold moves by Florida leaders like AG James Uthmeier and Gov. DeSantis. From alleged plots to jail Trump allies to state-level defiance of federal immigration rulings, the episodes frame a high-stakes battle to stop illegal immigration, dismantle entrenched institutions, and preserve conservative strongholds.

In this fiery commentary, the host blasts judicial overreach, alleged deep state sabotage, and Republican inaction—while praising Florida AG James Uthmeier and Gov. DeSantis for defying a federal judge to keep arresting illegal immigrants. The episode frames this as a pivotal battle in the fight to preserve red states from turning blue through mass immigration and lawfare tactics against Trump allies.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back on the Wednesday KITM, and probably still aren't AI generated, although honestly, have you ever actually seen them? Are Jesus and Buddha space alien lizard people? Trump TV is as unglued as Trump. AI chatbots will encourage you to believe this and much more while they take over your job, and eventually your life. In real life, Kari Lake is making One America News the Voice of America. Apple juice will be one of the first things wiped off the shelves by the Trump tariff tsunami. Ed Martin was intended to make MAGA great again but is too MAGA to even get out of committee. Oh, so now disengaged voters are becoming engaged? Well, maybe too late is better than never. Dotard Donald is becoming more doddering with every passing day, and he's completely lost his bullshit fastball. If only Democrats said what they mean, mean what they said, and got stuff done, it'd be so simple. If you can't imagine a worse fate for migrants than being kidnapped and sent to El Salvador, you don't have the into-the-box imagination of a Steven Miller. Picture what awaits deportees to Libyan or Rwandan prisons! At war with Houthi rebels, the Navy has resorted to the tactic of throwing fighter jets at them. What has Ron DeSantis done for Trump lately? Not much, so into the meatball machine Ron goes.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. These first 100 days of the Trump Administration have been the most consequential of any president since World War II.  We join President Trump live for his first rally of his second term in Warren, Michigan.  Trump's second term has launched at a blistering pace, surpassing his first 100 days with a speed that feels like Trump 3.0—three times faster.  Trump makes everyday count as he restores order, starting with securing the southern border and ushering in a new golden age for America. Our streets are safer now than 100 days ago. Also, fears of inflation and tariffs are overblown. Life is more affordable now than when Trump took office, with DOGE saving the average taxpayer $993.79. Later, in Florida, ICE's largest operation yet led to nearly 800 illegal alien arrests, showcasing the impact of a state and Governor aligned with Trump's agenda. Governor DeSantis' new law embedding ICE in law enforcement is proving effective and could be a model for every state. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
