Today we're joined by a very special guest, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to talk about some of the latest media myths about his moves as the leader of his state, his governing philosophy, and how fatherhood influences the fights he takes on. Governor DeSantis, as many know, is consistently at the center of the most important culture wars, using his power as governor of the state of Florida to push for policies that have swung the state from purple to red in just four years. We talk about the media's pathetic response to his many successes, from cracking down on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and taking on corporate behemoth Disney to standing up against "gender confirmation" procedures on minors in Florida. And yes, we also ask the million-dollar question!\nGovernor DeSantis' new book, "The Courage to Be Free: Florida's Blueprint for America's Revival," is out now.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(00:57) Interview begins / winning Florida in 2022\n(03:56) Media reactions to Florida policies\n(05:58) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) & racial agendas in schools\n(15:46) Disney\n(21:40) Gender ideology\n(27:06) Abortion\n(28:53) Governing as a father / parents issues\n(32:10) Fatherhood initiative\n(35:50) The Courage to Be Free: Florida's Blueprint for America's Revival\n(37:40) Are you running for president?\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nA'Del \u2014 go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!\n\nEdenPURE \u2014 get 3 Thunderstorm Air Purifiers for under $200 at EdenPureDeals.com, use promo code 'ALLIE'!\n\nDonors Trust \u2014 the tax-friendly way to simplify your charitable giving, without compromising your values.
