Rep. Ron DeSantis on the SOTU and policy innovation Ep. 188

To review the SOTU and the opportunities with which the president’s successful address presents to conservatives, we are joined by Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., one of the brightest policy innovators in Congress. 

We delve into ways to take even the less conservative policy ideas of the president and turn them into winning ideas, if only we had leadership willing to fulfill their campaign promises. DeSantis describes some of his bills and ideas for Congress to have a successful legislative year. He brings up the point that Republicans could so easily put Democrats into an awkward position by forcing a vote on making the tax cuts permanent.

Later in the show, we broach a number of other political matters including the budget and ways to reform the filibuster.

Finally, DeSantis discusses his run for governor of Florida and how he intends to make state governments great again with conservative policy leadership.
