8:26Now PlayingUnder a proposed piece of legislation from Ron DeSantis, the Trump-loving governor of Florida, it would be legal for citizens to run over protestors without any fear of prosecution, as long as the protestor was in the street. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment of the United States, and DeSantis is merely trying to give voters the impression that things are out of control in the state. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why DeSantis is doing this.

Ron DeSantis. The Trump loving governor from down here in my state of Florida, decided that he wanted to get in on the little bit of the fascism action that he has been seeing, taking place from the Trump administration. So earlier this week, he put forth a proposal of new state laws that would effectively not only get rid of most of your first amendment rights here in Florida, but it would also legally allow motorists to straight up murder protestors. That is what governor Ron DeSantis wants to do to the state of Florida. And during a little press conference that DC at this gave about this on the guest was Monday, uh, where he was flanked. Obviously he had police officers, you know, all kinds of law enforcement folks around him because hell yeah, blue lives matter. Folks. Uh, DeSantis said the following. He said, I look at what goes on in Portland.
They'll have people they'll arrest him. They're all scraggly looking Antifa types. They get their mugshot taken. Then they get released. It's like a carousel on and on. It goes, that's not going to happen here in Florida. You're right. It's totally not going to happen here in Florida. It's not even happening really to any degree outside of Portland. And it's not even as bad in Portland as y'all are trying to make it sound like sure, you have some people up there that are doing some things that are absolutely not helping anyone, but it's not spreading, especially not from Portland all the way down here to Florida not going to happen. Absolutely not. And I'll tell you what, Ron, it's gonna not happen. Not because of this legislation you're proposing, but because that's just not what happens Florida is for all intensive purposes. It's a red state and red state folks tend to love to be told what to do. They love that authoritarianism. You know, I don't want to think for myself, please tell me what to think
Up in Portland. Not so much. They really hate that. They really hate it. All being told what to think of what to do down here, Florida, not so much, unless of course it's wear a mask and then they freak the fuck out. But anyway, here is what Florida governor Ron DeSantis. This is his official. Uh, this is from the state of Florida. This is the official proposal of the rule changes. Let me read this, uh, new criminal offenses to combat rioting, looting and violence, which again are not currently happening here in the state of Florida, nothing even close to it at all. Uh, prohibition on violent or disorderly assemblies. Third degree felony when seven or more persons are involved in an assembly and cause damage to property or injury to other persons. So if you're with a group of seven and you damage something Suddenly that's now a third degree felony, excuse me, Prohibition on obstructing roadways. Third degree felony to obstruct traffic during an unpermitted protest demonstration or violent or disorderly assembly driver is not liable for injury or death caused it fleeing for safety from a mob, Which means if you are protesting and you do not have a permit for it. I know it has the other lines in there about, or if it's violent or if it's disorder. But if you are protesting and you don't have a permit and you're in the road, the driver of a vehicle can run you over kill you. And the state cannot prosecute that person.
