 on these issues pertaining to the LGBTQ community, DeSantis really seems to be aiming for that community. How do you take that on? We take that on by, number one, being bold in our messaging and calling it out for what it is. He isn't acting on education, we have to be clear. He's acting on scapegoating vulnerable communities due to his failures. He's not talking about how we're gonna increase the amount of money per student in classes. He's not talking about ensuring that we raise teacher pay, that we ensure that parents do have a say in the way that their students are being educated outside of this bigotry that he has. He's talking about targeting queer students, targeting LGBTQ plus kids. It's not just the broader community. He's going for the kids, a piece of legislation that was just introduced pretty much would allow the state to seize, to kidnap trans children if they feel like they're at risk of gender affirming care and a lot of times life saving healthcare as well. This is what we're up against in Florida right now. And it's hard to keep track of because it seems like there's a new victim, there's a new bill every day, but we have to call it for what it is. He is abusing his power and using the state to target political opponents and political enemies. And there's a word for that and it's fascism. And we have to be honest about it. It's just a problem for Florida now, sure. But in a few years it could be a problem for the nation. We need everybody to pay attention to talk about it, how he's targeting trans folks, targeting not just black history, but black people in general, which is American history and targeting marginalized communities across this entire state. And here's the sad, sad part, Jim. He's doing it because it's pulling high for him in the Republican party. And I think that says a lot about the state of that party right now. You just listened to freshman congressman Maxwell Frost call it like it is when it comes to the policies coming out of Florida. They are fascistic, plain and simple. I don't know why other politicians refuse to use the effort. Maybe they don't wanna come off as being too crass or hyperbolic, perhaps they're afraid. Either way, you can't sufficiently stop something unless you know what you're dealing with. And for other politicians to pretend as if we're just dealing with traditional conservatism or evangelical extremism, I think that that's extremely naive. It's fascism and you have to call it what it is. And it's not unique to the United States or Florida. Fascism has been on the rise around the globe. But for us to bury our heads in the sand and pretend as if it isn't what it looks like is I think very, very irresponsible. So I'm glad that Maxwell Frost is one of few democratic lawmakers who's just saying it. This is fascism. And he knows he is from the state of Florida. And it's so bad that some Republicans who you wouldn't expect to say things like this are coming out and saying, okay, they're going a little bit too far in Florida. Case in point, a Republican state senator proposed the brazenly unconstitutional bill that would literally require bloggers who write about DeSantis or other government officials to register with the state. Yeah, it's a proposal so extreme that even Newt Gingrich of all people came out and condemned it saying via Twitter, the idea that bloggers criticizing a politician should register with the government is insane. It is an embarrassment that it is a Republican state legislator in Florida who introduced a bill to that effect. He should withdraw it immediately. That's where we're at, folks. When Newt Gingrich of all people says the Republican party is a little bit too extreme here and maybe they should rein it in, that's when you know it's time to sound the alarms. The party has gotten too extreme and Maxwell Frost provided us with a number of examples there but there's even more. A bill essentially decriminalizing running over protesters that don't say gay bill. There's so many instances of Ron DeSantis wielding power in an authoritarian undemocratic way that violates freedom of speech, civil liberties that you can't just look at that and say this is traditional conservatism. I understand the instinct to do that because the entire Republican party is pretty extreme but there are elements within the Republican party that are different from other elements of the Republican party. Even compared to Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis is much more extreme and let's just dwell on the one policy that Maxwell Frost proposed because he kind of like, he glossed over it and I don't think intentionally so but you can't just gloss over something like that. So the bill that is being proposed in the Florida State Senate would essentially legalize kidnapping of trans kids or kids who have a parent that's trans. That's not just, oh, wow, these crazy Republicans are at it again. That's, oh my God, this is fascism territory and we're in genocidal territory explicitly now. As Insider explained, a proposed bill making its way through the Florida State Senate would allow the state emergency jurisdiction over children who receive or are at risk of receiving gender affirming care or if their parent receives it themselves. The proposed bill defines sex reassignment prescriptions or procedures as hormone therapy, puberty blockers and surveys or procedures that affirm a person's perception of his or her sex if that perception is inconsistent with the person's sex at birth. The court would also be granted jurisdiction to vacate stay or modify a child custody determination of a court of another state to protect the child from the risk of being subjected to the provision of sex reassignment prescriptions or procedures according to the proposed bill text. So after hemming and hawing about parental rights, this is what is being proposed in the state of Florida. State sanctioned kidnapping of trans kids or kids who have trans parents and they're not just using their power to terrorize any families who seek out medically necessary gender affirming care for their trans youth. We're not talking about surgeries, we're talking about social transition, puberty blockers if a doctor deems them appropriate. But they're saying now, yeah, we can just let someone kidnap your kid and that's fine. And also the state of Florida has jurisdiction over these states and their custody claims. This is so far removed from what is acceptable within the bounds of our constitution and democratic societies just in general that every single person should look at this in horror. But the problem is Republicans have gotten so extreme that a lot of people I think have become desensitized and they are inclined to dismiss it. But Florida is a unique beast. Florida is not like other states, they are setting the standard for what authoritarianism is promoted. When Florida does it, other states follow suit. It's like they're creative and innovative in ways that they terrorize marginalized people. So I mean, for anyone to say, well, Maxwell Frost is wrong to characterize this fascism, they're just naive because as I stated and I wanna make this point very emphatically, we're not dealing with the Republican Party of yesteryear. Again, they've always been demons, but the Republican Party of 2023 specifically, the party led by DeSantis is fascist explicitly so. So if you were to deny that they're fascists, you'd probably find a couple of Florida Republicans that would take that as an insult because they're wearing their authoritarianism on their sleeve and in true Orwellian fashion, they're gaslighting us about what's actually happening in the state of Florida. So for politicians like Maxwell Frost to call this out, I think that that is really, really important. It's a public service and I'd argue a responsibility of all lawmakers to call fascism out where it exists because certainly fighting these policies is important. But if you can't even name it, then you're not equipped to fight or resist these policies. So step number one is admitting there's a problem in the first place. And when you admit there's a problem and you identify the problem, that's when you can propose solutions and ways to stop the rise of fascism in the United States. So I'll leave that there, Max. Well, Frost is absolutely correct.
