programming note, next week we have a live audience show on wednesday, tickets are absolutely free. go to hannity.com. you register and we love -- y'all have a good time? >> yeah! >> sean: now, also next week we have one surprise but i can't tell you. that's all the time we have left this evening, please set your dvr never miss an episode. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled. laura is here. laura a big message. >> hey laura! >> laura: oh, wow. >> sean: you are so loved. >> laura: that's good. they're so sweet. everyone he-only the front row is drunk tonight, that's great. you guys all look -- you guys look fantastic. i'm just kidding. no, hannity's buying you drinks, don't worry. >> sean: i don't know. >> laura: by the way, sean, sean, by the way, you took 22 seconds of my show last night. tomorrow night i'm taking 44 seconds of yours, okay? i'm going double. all right? so you're giving me time on the other side.

>> sean: it was odd because it was one of the few times i could not see the clock. >> laura: oh, is it really? is that what we're saying? >> sean: i was late one time in all the years we've been togethering laura: all right. now, a lot of years, all right, sean. >> sean: that's a lot of years. >> laura: awesome show and i will pick it up where you left off. i'm laura ingraham and this this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. we bring you voices from inside ron desantis's twitter announcement. david and thomas peace participated he'll be here, newt gingrich charlie hurt raymond arroyo, they'll compare previous presidential launches and tell you who you this one stacked up. but, first, as you might have guessed, desantis launches, that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> now it's quiet. >> let's see. so -- are we on? yeah, i think so. >> just simplify. >> okay, great.

so, let's see. >> just keeps crashing, huh? >> so we're very excited to have governor desantis make this -- >> laura: okay. we're being a little naughty here. yeah it was a little glitchy. you have to laugh at that stuff, it happens to us all the time on the ingraham angle. ron desantis announced tonight but when not plagued by the technical issues the question and answer was really important like when help pledged he's going to reign in our fat bloated government. >> buckle up when i get in there because the status quo is not acceptable and we're going to make sure we reconstitutional iced our government. these agencies are out of control no accountability and we're going to bring that in a big way. actually delegate so you're not legislating to the bureaucracy key issues regarding how to enforce federal law. >> sean:. >> laura: yeah the bureaucracy

is strangling the american people and our freedom and he talked about that specifically. but long before he announcedd the jackles on the left decided he, in fact, could even be scarier than trump. >> there are a lot of younger people in that party that are much scarier, desantis for one. this guy is a fascist. >> this is coming straight you of the authoritarian play book. this is what's so disturbing about desantis. >> desantis is almost accelerated the racism. >> in his quest to run the most right-wing fascist primary campaign ever, desantis is throwing all the right wing pudding at the wall. >> laura: now something from vanity fair yesterday that was so bizarrely vicious it's almost a parity of itself kind of like that montage we just played. desantis will formally announce his 2024 bid with elon musk because apparently david duke weren't available and neither were other neo-nazi

sympathizers. very subtle kids. of course this isn't anything that president trump and candidate trump hadn't linebacker been subjected to except a thousand times worse because they tried and are still trying to kill him with federal and state investigations, lawsuits and, no big deal, just two impeachments. >> druchlt is deliberately putting out a racist fay i haveist appeal as well as a neo fashionist. >> donald trump is a white nationalist a fascist who's embraced violence. >> trump lying and being casually racist. >> bending over backwards being an a positively gist for vladimir putin and russia. >> laura: do you notice the similarity here? they have the same pattern no matter who the republican is. most people would have melted into a puddle of goo in the first months of these attacks but, remember, trump just keeps going. >> there was no collusion with

russia. there was no obstruction, and none whatsoever, and it was a complete and total exoneration. it's a shame that our country had to go through this. >> we are a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. fake news is all you get, and they are the enemy of the people. we are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed. >> we're going to bring energy down, way down. we're going to get the interest rates down. we're going to get back to a great life. >> laura: now he wants to take the fight back to the white house to finish the job he start standard. think about that for a moment. president trump was determined to run again, despite knowing that he had -- if he had quietly left politics after the election, the attacks and the legal threats most certainly would have stopped. so did desantis, trump's only viable competitor, have that

same moxie? that same -- it's almost a lust for battle and can he get stuff done in washington when theory he going to be throwing acid at him 24/seven. and while running a national campaign in the national media spotlight that is hot is a hell of a lot different than running a state. signs are desantis, like trump, does have the spine to fight through it all and not lose focus on actually what matters. consider what he's gotten done against the media and the democrat freakouts in his own state. this is political, politico of all places that talked about his accomplishments just last legislative session. one of the most productive stretches of right wing law making any state's seen in ers use. week after week legislatures pushed through measures dealing with abortion, gun, the death penalty immigration schools and gender identity sometimes amid protests inside the capitol. and after winning reelection by

nearly 20 points, let's face it, desantis knew he had the leverage the mojo to get his agenda passed into law. desantis' allies delivered nearly everything he asked for whether imposing new regs on disney no trying to block china from buying land in florida. you know they're getting under his skin when even the white house got not the lie because desantis banned the sexual propaganda being shoveled out to school kids. he's also banning books and poems. [indiscernible] >> the president and his administration certainly stand with er had. banning books is censorship. period. that's what that is. when you ban a book that is censoring, it limits american freedom, american's freedom. >> sean: they're just for

rewriting books, their climate is passionately false, the book was moved from an elementary school to a middle school where it was deemed more appropriate. get used to it, gov, this is what they're going to do d even more observed the same people who praised biden's mastery of stage and substance are jumping al over do its' demeanor. look, he's hard to get along with one on one. >> wait you're saying he's hard to get along with and he's not a great campaigner. >> the guy by the way not expanding his own base of support and not doing anything to help with the awkwardness because he's awkward, too. >> laura: awkward? i'll show you awkward. >> there's a lot of other -- for example, the idea that we're, in terms of taxes that they refuse to -- for example, we -- i was able to balance the budget and pass anything from the global

warming bill. yeah... . >> laura: yeah way for example. as the press are going to throw a flamethrower, it's going to be tempting for him to draw ball on the cultural issues that have dominated really for the past year or so. and as certain as they all are, they pent time talking about them. all americans should remember what they're talking about they're telling us. the latest harror story says it's not disney it's high prices immigration that are bothering people. so both desantis and trump should remember that reagan won in 1980 hammering carter's economy. and clinton won in '92 hammering bush's economy. as tempting and fun as the other issues are to bat around, the path to victory is offering incredible solutions to what

worries voters most. >> we spent our whole lives savings to get a good retirement account and now we see it dwinding, like dwinding dwinding dwinding. >> everything' getting more and s'more expense i have and it makes it hard for people even seven days a week. >> inflation is taking a bite out of everything, getting more and more difficult to manage all that. >> now, no wonder biden's numbers on handling the economy are among the worst i've ever seen, with just 33% approval and only 24% of americans say national economic conditions are in good shape. >> so i was a little surprised that governor desantis and his shaft spent almost no time on the issue tonight. that's going to need to change on the stump. how about saying something like, my energy policy will help push gas leans back down closer to around 2:30 a gallon and the trade policy will help main street not wall street. we tackle the fentanyl nightmare

killing our people. and our industrial will ins slate us against china's global aggression. i would vote for that that's the angle >> joining me now is kentucky congressman ron mist who endorsed desantis for governor. now you actually believe desantis has the fight in him which is a huge amount in florida. what is it, though, about the economy that seems to -- we didn't spend much time talking about that tonight even though every single poll shows that is the number one concern by far of the american people. >> well, i'm glad you brought that up. and, look, desantis is decisive but not impulsive. but the reason trump can't run on inflation is he's the one --. >> laura: whoa, whoa, before we get to trump hold on congressman. >> oh, okay. we were talking about inflation. >> laura: i asked a question. we had a big event tonight and it was exciting and a little

glitchy but we were teasing. >> and i was involved. >> laura: and you were there, we're going to tease you about something later but you were there and the economy's the number one issue and we didn't talk about it at all? what? >> well, ron will be able to talk about the economy because he didn't shut his down and trump was urging governors to shut their economies down. and i was in congress -- and i got screamed at by president trump. by the way if he wins the nomination i'll vote for him enthusiastsically. but he was for the $2 trillion cares act and one of the reasons we did -- we had a lackluster performance in the midterms is because we couldn't run against inflation because most of my colleagues were urged by trump to spend three or $4 trillion we didn't have that caused the inflation. ron desantis doesn't have that problem. yeah, maybe he should have talked about that in the twitter spaces but that was a ranging dialogue. that wasn't scripted. like he could have written a speech and scripted it but the

great thing was we got to ask him whatever we wanted. they suggested i ask a question, i asked a totally different question. so that was the beauty. and the danger of twitter space and they had some technical glitches. but, look, this is a young -- you know, he's a young guy, he's using technology and he could be the future of our party. that's why i'm backing him. it's not a dead end. >> laura: now, he touched on the covid issue tonight. watch this. >> we need an honest reckoning about what happened during covid and the only honest reckoning is that all of those agencies, all of the elites, the public health establishment, they failed. and florida not just kind of stood in the way, i think this country would have had rolling lockdowns for probably a two-year period. >> laura: now, congressman massie, how important is this message and his defiance and criticism of fauci going to be to this election? i mean, fauci, is that really --

i mean, no one took on fauci earlier than yours truly, okay, i mean i hit him hardest earliest, so i high five that but to win the election is it going to be the i was against fauci and you had him in the white house? is that how we're going to beat trump? >> no, we all know trump should have fired fauci but look at what ron desantis did in florida. he fired his surgeon general and got one who followed common sense. he got joseph ladapo who followed the science and not the science but the data. okay? so we can expect that ron desantis would do the same thing in the white house. here's another thing laura. we're going to have to reach out to groups that republicans haven't reached out to before. ron desantis didn't shut down the beaches or the bars or the gyms, okay? so there are young people under 30 -- look, this covid lockdown nonsense was really a war from the left-leaning boomers against people under 30 who really had

not much risk, and ron desantis was the shining star there in these lockdowns. and i think we got a lot of young people who said, you know what? i might be a republican. because we had a republican governor, unlike california, and our beaches didn't get shut down, our bars didn't get shut down and our gyms didn't get shut down. >> laura: yeah. congressman, you mentioned your appearance of course on tonight's twitter spaces. i have to play your open. >> uh-oh. >> laura: everyone knows i like massie a lot but i have to play your open and how you introduce yourself. >> i've never met elon musk but i'm one of your biggest fans. i'm the first congressman to have a tesla. >> just for the record, i was with thomas our first year in congress, he's got the tesla but his license plate is kentucky coal so he's probably one of the only people who has that. >> laura: as you mentioned this was a free wheeling discussion

and the suck up to musk was classic. i was the first to have a tesla. i don't like electric cares myself but go ahead. >> maybe it was a succeed up. >> laura: total suck up. >> if you say ron desantis isn't personable and can't jam at you. >> laura: it was funny. >> it was funny he called me out, i have friends of coal license plate on my car it's not a lie and ron desantis called me out. i have to say that was not scripted if i could go back and ask him not to do it i would have. >> laura: that was funny. that i enjoyed thoroughly. congressman great to see you tonight we enjoyed it. thanks so much >> if you broke twitter, my daughter and the kardashians are going to be very upset with you. i don't know if that's what happened with elon musk or not. maybe he just had a big audience. >> we had a huge audience. it did, it was the biggest they'd ever have. it did break the twitter space. so we're really excited with the

enthusiasm. >> laura: joining us now charlie hurt opinion editor at the washington times, opinion editor. charlie who really got the bigger black eye with the launch, governor desantis or just twitter? i mean, desantis, you know, i think acquitted himself pretty well there, but, i mean, this was 21 minutes of pain before we actually heard anything. >> yeah, it really was. especially -- yeah. especially there at the beginning, it sounded like a bunch of college kids in a frat house trying to figure out how to work the zoom call. it didn't, didn't take off all that well. but, you know, honestly, i do think that. >> thatly largely it's probably a benefit for twitter and for elon musk in that he has demonstrated that he does believe in giving a platform to republicans, and the best place to sort of gauge that is to listen to the hysteria from the

fact that elon musk has done that. and honestly all he did was gave some space to allow a republican to announce his campaign for president. it's not like he pulled a mark zuckerberg who spent $400 million in 2020 in a get out the vote campaign for democrats which, of course, the left conveniently forgets when they attack elon musk. but, to me, it really does prove just how far the left has sort of sold out any sort of even pre tense that they want to be -- you know, want to have anything -- that they even want there to be a public town square to exist. not, you know, of course at one point they controlled it, and over the years that sort of merged away from them because they're such tie rants and they do such a terrible job with free speech. and you have a guy like elon musk who's clearly not, you know, some right winger who is

not a conservative. it was interesting listening to some of the answers that ron desantis was giving elon musk was like, oh, really, i had no idea of that. it's like he had never read a basic profile of ron desantis. but again, to me, i'll take that audience and those rules any day because i think the arguments on the conservative, on the republican side are so much better that if you just every -- we're just looking for some, you know, for some free space to have a fair and open dialogue. >> sean: yeah, i think he would offer if a democrat wanted to challenge biden, he would offer them the same thing? he would say yeah, sure, happy top do it. >> yeah. and i think that would drive the left even more nuts, can you imagine if he opened up his space for an rfk to come on there. >> laura: i think he should do it. >> i do too i think it would be fantastic. and by then maybe they can get

all the glitches out. >> laura: by the way, cnn had a rather muted response. watch. >> i don't think it's going to be a long lasting problem for his campaign, it's already up and running, he'll move on to other things. >> perhaps this will be a metaphor, we do not know but the biggest day is tomorrow. >> i think we will quickly forget about this elon musk twitter situation. >> laura: charlie, you agree? >> they're so bitter, they're so angry. if there's no other reason to love this it's to watch those people get so upset about this. >> laura: they weren't upset they were like i don't think it matters it's glitchy. i think they're annoyed that ron desantis is young, he has a young family, he's you know accomplished a lot and he drives the left in his state absolutely bonkers that's why they despise him. but they won't criticize him due

to a glitch on twitter. charlie great to see you thanks so much. tonight newt gingrich's announcement and what's in store this election season plus we speak exclusively with the moderator of desantis event and a father of three beaten to death out outside of his house in front of his children and all caught on camera r fox just spoke with his widow and we'll bring you that exclusive sound next. ♪ this is iowa. we just haven't been properly introduced. say hello to the place where rolling hills meets low bills. where our fields, inside and out, are always growing. and where the fun is just getting started. this is iowa. so, when are you coming to see us? ♪

♪ >> laura: all right, we heard this mentioned time and again. a warning sign for desantis. he sometimes seems aloof as too online aka tonight's glitchy twitter announcement. we all know americans list inflation and jobs the most important and the form tissue president walloping him in the primary polls so let's unpack this with newt gingrich fox news contributor author of the new book march to the majority. let's hope newt. what's the first thing desantis needs to do if those impressions are, you know, baked in at all. i'm not sure they are, to turn that around. >> look, i think he has to find

a big, positive message, and i think, you're right, it mostly is about the economy. and he has to communicate somehow that he's youtubing sneakily different from trump. that he's the guy who can get it done. this is a country that is in trouble. the american people know that they're economically in trouble. they know they're in trouble with crime, they're in trouble about the border, they're in trouble in terms of a woke value system trying to impose itself on them. and i think what they want is a leader who's positive, who has a plan that makes sense, and i think the challenge for desantis, he had several months to do this and he didn't do it. he adopted a deliberate strategy, i think, of going further to the right than trump on cultural issues. and ma that did is it said to all the people who are moderate republicans, this must be the guy.

that's why you now have tim scott in the race you're going to get several more people in the race because there is a vacuum there that desantis didn't fill. he's a very good governor, does a great job in florida, has a good message but so far he hasn't come across as a charismatic leader with a compelling message that makes you say, yeah, he's the guy, he's the person i want to lead the country. and if he doesn't find a message like that, then his campaign will transcribe until it peters out. >> laura: i want to play an interesting message from the convo tonight about the influence of our financial institutions. >> we will not be a free society if major financial institutions with do through the economy what people could not achieve through the ballot box our rights will be restricted for the end resulted and that's not healthy

for a free country. >> laura: newt, that is a good point but can people grab on to that and kind of understand, a la the contract for america, what is he get out there. i mean you and i know but can the folks around the dinner table understand that? not not politics. >> this may seem like an odd comment but i think he's very, very smart, clearly did very well at yale. >> laura: i'll say. >> clearly capable of thinking about big ideas. but, you know, ronald reagan was probably equally smart but he also understood he had to communicate so that every day folks understood it. one of trump's great advantages that he talks at a level where third, four, and fifth grade situations and they say oh, yeah, i get it and in fact trump has turned the party into a party of working americans in a way that hasn't been true for almost a hundred years. so the challenge for desantis is take that interesting sentence

and figure out how do you boil it down to a slogan or to a specific thing. i think it's really bad efforts america's new majority project. the american people fear big business as much as they fear big government. they think both are dangerous and i think a candidate who ran to take both of them on would have an advantage, but i also agree strongly with you. much deeper than that issue is the question of what are you going to do about the economy, and, frankly, here speaker kevin mccarthy and the house republicans have begun to move the republicans, i think, into a very trechting opportunity. they will have in the next few weeks a ten year plan to get to a balanced budget with lower taxes, greater economic growth, less inflation. that's the sort of thing that desantis ought to be campaigning on. >> and talking about it in every state across the nachlths people

are saying i want $2.30 gas again. that's what they want, they want to fill their tank up for 40 bucks not a hunt. great to see you thank you so much >> to a tragic story out of maryland tonight a father of three savagely beating to death while trying to protect his children. friday night, a group of teens and two adults showed up at the home of 44 year old christopher wright and demanded that his son come outside and the 14 year old had apparently got in some sort of fight at school. ripe told him there's no way his son was coming out to fight. his heart broken cia told our own griff jenkins what happened next. >> if he doesn't come out we're going to go in and get them t they said nobody's coming to my house and he said if they're not going to fight you're going to fight.

>> a there's 16 year old son trying to save his dad near the attacks but could not stop it. >> he looked over and he could just see his dad laying there not moving and the other adult still hitting and then hitting and then hitting them. this is where he ultimately, the fight ended. >> the stains there, it was quite a bloody season. >> it was. >> laura: the next day he was dead and the chaos surrounding the cat on the family's ring camera. >> the onlyning that i've seen was, my son opens the door my youngest is 12 and i can hear him creeping daddy, daddy, daddy and runs out past the door as fast as possible and runs to my dad's side and my 14 year old has his friend in his hand calling out 911.

usual spush. >> laura: now despite knowing exactly who these attackers are and the adults with them police have yet to make an arrest. >> do you believe that those adults should be possibly charged for homicide. >> yes, i one00% do. i know nothing but the law but i know one thing, if they had not made it down here, if they had not brought those kids down here, chris would still be alive. . >> laura: griff jenkins is going to have more on this horrific story tomorrow. now, up next while the news focused on the contest between desantis and trump. what about the message between biden and his memory. and the customers, what does that mean, raymond arroyo explains it in seen and unseen which is next

>> laura: time for seen and unseen where we reveal the story behind the headlines for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo.

raymond, let's talk for a second about the atmosphere about the announcement. it was just audio. >> i don't think it's any secret this was probably not the best choice for a coming out party. here is how the desantis campaign kickoff began and got lost in space, or at least twitter spaces. >> tonight i'm pleased to introduce two individuals who have done more -- might surprise many but not those who have worked with elon for more than a quarter century. his commitment to freedom and put his money where his mouth is -- >> we've got so many people here that i think we are, we are kind of melting the servers, which is a good sign. >> i think we've got a, just a massive number of people online. the servers are straining somewhat. >> laura optics matter. you have only one chance to make that visual choice, that iconic

moment to sort of set the narrative t you know, and i think if you look back at trump or barack obama in springfield, we're still talking seven years later about donald trump coming down those staircases and i think this felt like an av club podcast and wasn't bee fitting a governor of florida. he should have had a big rally. in fact i think ron desantis played and looked so much more presidential monday night at the mlb in orlando. that would have been a better launch pad. i don't know why there was no visual image. >> laura: yeah, i wanted to see them. >> this was 1934. >> laura: i felt like it was walton's mountain and we were all gathered around. sam and i were texting each other i'm like tell me when it's working, she's like i'm not on i'm kicked off. then i'm like i'm kicked off. tommy was like i'm on. we have it was like the keystone cops we couldn't figure it out.

>> the desantis campaign says it raised a million dollars in an hour but only about 300,000 people were listening as this thing grinded on and it was kind of a grab bag of questions, you didn't know who was talking. very odd but while everyone is focused with desantis battling with trump and trump battling with desantis they're ignoring biden battling with basic facts. for instance, it might surprise many to know that nancy pelosi, laura, was speaker of the house in the 1930s. >> nancy pelosi's going to go down in history as one of the most consequential speakers in the history of theed in. she had so many life changing piece of legislation, she helped rescue the economy in the great depression. >> she saved us from the great depression laura, which ended in 19 39 and that was a year before nancy was born incidentally. but he also recently claimed again that his son beau died in iraq, which is simply not true and has been debunked again and again and again.

>> yeah, so glitches are one things but biden's constantly glitching and yet the media's covering for him. >> he's not -- >> laura: raymond. >> he's not alone laura. >> laura: raymond everyone knows my first radio show that i did i knocked myself off the air, okay? i literally knocked myself off the air no one could figure out how to get me back on so i'm very sympathetic to these things. >> should anything happen to joe biden the man is in in his 80s, kamala harris would take the reigns, the white house has produced this video, i want you to see this, of the vp doing the important work of the people, supporting basketball player brittney griner. note the worshipful almost sacred tone of the vice-president. >> you have inspired so many people, showing the courage and the dignity and the grace. you need to be back on the court. >> it's so incredible. >> that's right. >> if all the people that look

like us and need to know nothing is going to knock you down, that's good. that's real good. >> laura: what? >> suddenly brittney griner, who was arrested for drug use is the mother theresa of the courts. this is unbelievable but i guess if this is the best you've got you've got to use it. >> laura: raymond what's the talking like this? that's good, that's really good, what is that? >> laura i've got to get to this talk about ignoring the public and missing the point. while target is clearing out lgbt pride merchandise following a wide protest a major closure going in another direction. this outdoor brand has a new spokesperson which some say is a slap of the north face. >> hi it's me patty a real life homosexual. we are here to invite you to come out in nature with with us. wow. this is nice.

>> we like to call this little tour the summer of pride. >> this tour has everything. hiking, community, art, lesbians, lesbians making art. >> that's pretty gay. >> all right, raymond. >> this is like penny wides the clown breaking into his mama's wardrobe. what is this and who is the target audience here? i guess bad drag queen oh fish nat os but i don't think why new orleans thinks it's winning. >> bye-bye north face. thank you >> the moderator of desantis twitter announcement was famed entrepreneur david sacks. he's here for his first interview since the event. stay there. i sold my car to carvana, and it was awesome! i heard about carvana through friends, so i thought i'd give it a try.

it was easy. i inputted information about the car including, the mileage, the vin number. answered a few questions and got a real offer in seconds. it felt too good to be true. it was a lot higher than i expected. a carvana advocate came to my house. as soon as they stepped in the car they paid me on the spot. i couldn't believe it. i'd recommend it to anyone. try it for yourself. go to carvana .com and get an offer for your car. at carvana

♪ >> laura: joining me now exclusively is the man who moderated desantis's 2024 launch david sacks also the partner at kraft ventures and cohost of the all-in podcast, big entrepreneur. dave great to see you tonight, thanks for joining us. we're going to get to governor desantis's vision especially ripping apart the bureaucracy in a moment but the question on everyone's mind including my daughter's tonight is what happened? i mean, you handled it so well, much better than i would have, but what happened at the top?

>> well, rapt at the top, laura is we had a million people simultaneously trying to get into a twitter space which is an online room and desantis just melted the servers. we had so much interest -- i mean, i have to hand it to him, normally it takes a kardashian to do that. took about 15 minutes, we never had that level of skill before on twitter. i think it was about a hundred thousand. after 15 minutes we move the room from my account to elon's account and it worked perfectly. if your viewers want to go on twitter the recording is going around, once we got started the audio was perfect and i think the governor was totally unflappable. and one thing i learned about him from this is that once we did get started and we were about, you know, 15, 20 minutes late, there was no hint of and or irritation on his part. he was in a great mood. he was, like i said, cool and unflappable made a great

impression who doesn't get thrown easily. >> laura: no he doesn't, other people would have been really unhappy. this kind of thing has happened to me a lot so i'm kind of laughing, i'm glad it happens to elon muffining because he's smarter than a lot of people like me on economy. let's talk about economy and i mentioneded this with newt earlier and you may have mentioned but why wasn't it more of a focus tonight on the number one issue that americans say is bothering them which is inflation, high prices and the economy. >> you're right we should have had more questions on thatings so many other questions we could have gotten to. the time went by so far, we only had about an hour and i wanted to give him time to first lay out his vision and he did that at the top huh we got into some of the controversies surrounding him. i asked him about the naacp travel advisory, i asked him about disney. we asked him about the book bans. because there's a lot of people

out in the country who have heard all these narratives from the main stream media and never directly from him on these issues. so i wanteded to give him a chance to respond to toes things, we talk about major issues like immigration. education. there are a lot we could have talked about, we could have talked more about the economy but i think the economy, state of florida, will have more opportunities for these down halls we'll get to it next time. >> laura: david can you give us a sense of the room because we were like were you guys elon musk even there. was in like your on? we didn't know where anybody was. >> elon and i were in a conference room in twitter head coaches, a bunch of years gather canned around us and again it's because we've never had an event like this on social media where you have like a million plus people trying break down the doors to get into twitter space and the only way to check the

availability is to get to the next level of scale. so we had engineers helping us out and we made the switch to my account. then like you said it worked perfectly and we were trying to use my phone and we used his phone so it worked out great. desantis was in florida. so this was the magic of twitter space. >> that was fun because we had no idea where anyone bass, we wanted photos of all of you. last ukraine, an issue i'm against a lot, i'm blowing a lot ever money and not sure what we're going to get out of it in the end. but if desantis wins, what do you think that's going to hold on that i don't think we should be in wars of choice so dangerous to be in an escalatory spiral with russia who has thousands of weapons. what i heard desantis say is what's happening in ukraine does

not rise to the level have a vital american interest and we should try to seize a ceasefire. my take on it is that where desantis is, is that he would working to achieve a ceasefire. my sense of that dregs keeps trying to racket it up. i think i'm with you laura. >> sean: david we appreciate it. thank you so much, i hope you have a come back soon. than so much what happens at a college graduation, that and so much more coming up next.
