Transcript

00:00Ron DeSantis is extraordinary. Harvard, Yale, brilliant.

00:05Ron would have not been governor if it wasn't for me.

00:09He would be on television defending me and fighting for me.

00:13A friend of mine who's become very, very popular, I guess that was what that big applause was.

00:18I was backstage, I said, who just came in?

00:20I thought Elvis entered the room.

00:22It was your Florida governor, Ron DeSantis.

00:25Today I have the highest poll numbers I've ever had.

00:28Trump at 71, Ron DeSantis at 10%.

00:33Your governor, Ron DeSantis, who's run, not only did he run a great campaign, he's a great governor.

00:39Thanks, Ron. What a great job.

00:41Ron would have not been governor if it wasn't for me, and that's okay.

00:45He wouldn't have gotten the nomination.

00:46Then when I hear he might run, you know, I consider that very disloyal.

00:49It's always about loyalty, but for a lot of people it's not about loyalty.

00:52The gold standard vaccine has been done in less than nine months.

00:56I want to thank everyone here today who has been involved.

00:59Ron DeSantis, Ron.

01:03Thank you, Ron. Thank you. Thank you very much. Great job, Ron.

01:07I watched a couple of politicians be interviewed, and one of the questions was,

01:11did you get the booster because they had the vaccine?

01:14Have you gotten the booster?

01:15I've done whatever I did, the normal shot.

01:18The answer is yes, but they don't want to say it because they're gutless.

01:21He's doing a great job. Ron is doing a great job.

01:24Well, he won a great primary.

01:26Then he beat a man that they said had a good future.

01:29Ron was great, tough and strong, and he didn't choke under pressure.

01:32That's for sure.

01:34If you faced a Republican like Ron DeSantis in the primaries,

01:37what would it take for you to beat him?

01:39I don't think I will face him because I don't see that.

01:42I think most people would drop out. I think he would drop out.

01:45And if I faced him, I'd beat him like I would beat everyone else, frankly.

01:49I tell you what, I know Ron DeSantis.

01:52Ron DeSantis is extraordinary.

01:55Harvard, Yale, brilliant.

01:58Ran an incredible campaign.

02:00He's an extreme talent, and he will make a fantastic governor of Florida.

02:05He's taking a shot at Ron DeSantis.

02:07He calls him Ron DeSanctimonious.

02:09He says he's playing games.

02:10He says, I'm only focused on the governor's race.

02:12In terms of loyalty and class, that's really not the right answer.
