Hour 2 -  Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:  Ron DeSantis is officially entering the 2024 White House race. DeSantis will make the announcement at 5 p.m. during a conversation with Elon Musk on Twitter. Casey DeSantis posted a teaser video on Tuesday evening. Near the end of a 14-hour legislative session on Friday, Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) appeared to be intoxicated, slurring his words as he presided over the hearing. A Missouri woman in hospice care recently got to visit Dollywood in Tennessee to meet her idol, Dolly Parton. The Los Angeles Dodgers are back to welcoming a drag troupe of “queer and trans nuns” to their annual Pride Night celebration at a home game in June — and they threw in an apology. Target's Pride collection for 2023 includes 'tuck-friendly' bathing suits with 'extra crotch coverage' designed to conceal a person's private parts.  Some southern Target stores were forced by the corporation to move LGBTQ Pride merchandise away from the front of their locations after customer "outrage" to avoid a "Bud Light situation." Target has found itself in hot water again over its gay pride collection, this time because of its partnership with a controversial designer. Abprallen's designer, Eric Carnell, is an outspoken Satanist whose brand features occult imagery and messages like "Satan respects pronouns" on brand apparel.
