Desantis Confronted About His High-Heeled Boots on Podcast
Ron DeSantis appeared on the Patrick Bet-David podcast and was confronted about his alleged high-heeled boots.
- 7 minutes
>> Speaker 1: Today,
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared
on Patrick Bet-David's podcast.
And while PBD admitted that
he is a fan of DeSantis,
he also confronted the Florida governor
with a pretty hard hitting question.
[00:00:16]
Are you secretly wearing
high heels all the time?
I can't wait to see how this turned out,
let's watch.
>> Speaker 2: Can you bring this one clip?
I know you were on what do
you call it on what was it?
Bill Maher and
Bill Maher talked about the boots.
I've seen you walk with these boots.
[00:00:32]
Go ahead and play this clip,
this on TikTok went viral.
It doesn't have a million views.
It doesn't have 10 million views.
This thing's got 1.2 million likes and
some people are wondering
I haven't seen that.
They've not shown this to you, okay?
[00:00:48]
What they're trying to say with this
is that in your boots, you have heels.
>> Speaker 2: No,
those are just standard off the rack.
Lucas how tall are you, governor 5'11.
>> Speaker 2: Okay, why don't you
wear tennis shoes and dress shoes?
[00:01:05]
>> Speaker 2: I do wear tennis
shoes when I workout, yeah.
>> You do, okay, I got a gift for you.
I'd love for you to wear, okay?
I shop at Ferragamo, okay?
>> I don't accept gifts,
I can't accept it.
>> Speaker 2: I totally get it.
[00:01:21]
>> Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
>> Speaker 1: I went on this guy's show,
I didn't get offered any shoes.
>> Speaker 3: Okay?
>> Speaker 1: What the hell?
>> Speaker 3: You know what was really
funny is that when they go to the wine
shot, right above DeSantis's
head is my signature.
It says, Jay Hugur,
TYT from the first time that I
went on Patrick Bet-David's show.
[00:01:39]
>> Speaker 1: That was hilarious and
honestly, pretty bomsy.
>> Speaker 3: No, no,
that's what I was gonna get to look,
my signature is irrelevant.
That was as hardball as I have ever seen.
>> Speaker 1: That was incredible.
>> Speaker 3: I don't
think any Democrat or
left-winger would have
done that to Ron DeSantis.
[00:01:56]
No one on MSNBC would have done that to
Ron DeSantis like that was super harsh.
>> Speaker 1: Look, full disclosure,
it wouldn't even cross my mind, right?
Look, there's so many other
things to talk to DeSantis about.
So that would be the last thing
that would even come to me, but
[00:02:12]
that was obviously entertaining and
incredible.
Because you're right, I don't think most
people would really even have the guts to
ask that kind of question.
So by the way, I'll get to some more
details about this ongoing theory about
DeSantis wearing heels in just a moment.
It's very important,
I'm sure you wanna know those details, but
[00:02:29]
I should also note that important context.
Based on what I could gather from
the room when I was on that podcast,
they're Trump supporters.
So that's something to keep in mind.
Now they're not hateful or against
DeSantis, but they prefer Donald Trump.
[00:02:46]
So do with that information what you will.
Now this theory about DeSantis wearing
high heels has actually been around for
a while now, so
let's check out the evidence.
First, we'll take a closer look at one
of the elements that PBD brought up.
Because when you inspect DeSantis's shoes,
they do seem,
[00:03:05]
I mean, yeah,
they've got a little block heel, okay?
>> Speaker 3: It looks like a clown shoe
more than anything else, why is it so
long in the front?
Does it come with a red bulbous nose and
a flower on the lapel
that squirts out water?
[00:03:20]
>> Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
He might actually have big feet,
I have no idea.
>> Speaker 1: Maybe.
>> Now more photographic,
this is ridiculous.
More photographic analysis for
you all, let's take a look.
Come on, guys.
>> Speaker 3: No, no, no,
okay, that's Photoshop.
[00:03:37]
>> Speaker 1: Of course, it is.
>> Speaker 3: Okay, I just don't know
because a lot of conspiracy theorists out
there, okay?
>> Speaker 1: And then there's one other
image to share with you that is not
Photoshopped.
Exactly what I was seeing,
this crease in the leather would be
found at the ball of the foot,
not at the instep.
[00:03:55]
Your foot doesn't bend here.
So I guess more theories about him wearing
not only that little block heel you see
there, but
I guess a hidden heel which I don't
think there's really any real evidence.
>> Speaker 3: No, no, this is crazy.
[00:04:10]
Okay, do that the white boots?
>> No, we didn't grab that photo, but
there was this image of DeSantis,
I believe it was after Hurricane Ian.
He's wearing rainboots.
>> Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
>> Speaker 1: And
they have a little bit of a block heel.
So look, he's got an affinity for
the block heel, it's okay.
[00:04:28]
>> Speaker 1: Yeah.
>> I like gender bending situations.
>> Speaker 3: How would that be for
ironic?
What I'm mainly getting out of this
is it's possible that DeSantis has
the tiniest feet in the world because
every shoe has this giant part where it
looks like there's no foot, okay?
[00:04:44]
Anyways, guys, main thing here is
I don't care about DeSantis and
his heels and his feet and how tall he is.
Who gives a damn, right?
And by the way, right-wing is too
prone to conspiracy theories, right?
But the interesting part
of this story to me is
[00:05:00]
Patrick Bet-David asked him a tough,
how do you react to that?
So for example, he asked me a lot
of tough questions, the first and
the second interview, right?
You just answer it.
Because as long as you're being honest
like if he asked me, hey, Cenk.
Do you wear high?
[00:05:17]
No, where did you get that from, right?
And they showed me those pictures.
I'd be like, that's hilarious.
Here I'll take off my shoe and
show you, right?
What difference does it make?
So you just handle it with honesty and
you laugh it off.
But you could tell with DeSantis,
he hated that wear shoes.
[00:05:33]
>> So uncomfortable, his body language.
Look, I'm skeptical of body language
analysis which is why I probably shouldn't
engage in it, but I'm gonna engage in it.
He looked super uncomfortable.
>> Speaker 3: No, no, with DeSantis,
it's not body language.
>> Speaker 1: It's so
obvious, look at him.
[00:05:50]
>> Speaker 3: He literally grimaces.
>> Speaker 1: Please make it stop,
I'm so uncomfortable.
By the way, like who cares?
Just laugh it off, man.
>> Shoes that have that little block heel,
that's okay.
>> Speaker 3: Just laugh it off,
what is wrong with you?
He has no political skill at all.
Instead, he sat there the whole
time going like this.
[00:06:07]
Can I just like he had to go
to the bathroom or something?
Bring it down, brother.
>> Speaker 1: Something just hit me.
>> Literally with the heels too.
>> Speaker 1: You don't have to though,
Ronnie.
If you wanna wear the heels,
it's okay, I accept it.
No, I just realized something, it hit me.
Trump is gonna start making fun of
his heels, if he hasn't already.
[00:06:26]
>> Speaker 3: Of course, he is.
>> Speaker 1: It's gonna be-
>> Look, DeSantis-
>> Amazing.
>> Speaker 3: Desantis'presidential
campaign was an epic disaster.
And yeah, I just used the past tense.
Nikki Haley has caught him now and
she's now tied for second.
So he just keeps sliding down,
because he doesn't appear to be human.
[00:06:43]
>> Speaker 1: But don't worry,
the heels will lift him right back up.
>> Speaker 3: Okay, we couldn't care.
I don't care about the heels at all
whether they're real or not real,
but I will have you note that
the Democrats lost by 20 to this
apparently terrible politician
like they didn't even try.
[00:07:02]
>> Speaker 1: No, they didn't.
>> Speaker 3: Jesus, man, Democratic Party
has to fix himself right now.
