in the time since parkland, maxwell frost, he's 25 years old, he was formally our national organizingsan act, the first piece of gun legislation in 30 years. and because the law that we passed in parkland, that helps disarm people, it's now been used over 6000 times. in one of those instances, were for somebody who threatened to kill my own mother and said, an expletive with the nra. you will be doa. we use that lot to help essentially possibly stop them from having to bury my own mother. these laws work, no laws, perfect these laws work. >> then there's this, david, i want you to talk a little bit about this, the florida house poised to vote and legislation allowing residents to carry concealed firearms without a permit. without a training as well. some of march alive members speaking out against the bill. you tweeted, actually, that, and i mad? i am livid. passing permit-less carry on the five year anniversary of parkland, coming after gay, young people and terrorizing, them banning african american studies? why can't he focus on things that actually matter like rent or how expensiv

[ laughter ] second, i do enjoy that donald trump being called a pussy ass bitch is now an official part of the congr

. >> that is also florida freshman congresswoman, maxwell frost, who is also a friend of the show.orship when it seemingly benefits him, but what do you make of republicans, the so-called freedom party, wanting to meddle in the affairs of a private company like twitter? >> yeah, this is the definition of big government, right? the thing that they are allegedly against. they decided that big government is what they want to do so long as those that are supposed to be in control, whether it is the city, because we had to take a vote just this week on whether washington, d.c. can do as a city what it wants to do, is elected officials. and we also know that if twitter was not doing what they wanted it to do, then twitter just needs to be blown off the planet. but, no, we did an excellent job in this hearing. we absolutely derailed them, we are talking about people that have weeks to plan for this, we didn't even have our committee assignments as freshman to be on this committee, and we absolutely pointed out the fact that, number one, joe biden was not a government actor. so even if you

maxwell frost just this week calling out his state's governor for taking drastic measures toin fringe't agree with. a scary consequence of ron desantis's so-called anti-woke agenda. but what is more alarming is that ron desantis is not confining himself or his ambitions within the state of florida. and its borders. he's making decision that would bring extremist policies to states all across the country. take his pressure campaign against the college board and how the curriculum of how an a.p. course was striped down after members of desantis administration and the college board. today florida passed a bill that would enable the governor to relocate migrants from any state in the country. not just florida. which means this bill would make desantis's stunt back in september, remember when he flew almost 50 migrants from texas to martha's vineyard. and this week he called on the u.s. supreme court to revisit a 1964 ruling that said a higher bar for defamation lawsuits involving public figures. some alarming new reporting in "the washington post" finds that desantis's actions have motiva
