Posobiec said that he's been a Trump supporter since the beginning, but that it was important to get a different perspective. He said Emmons was "someone that sort of came to conservatism, came to the movement, not necessarily from a Trumpian background," a "former liberal," and "Trump wasn't always your cup of tea."
When asked about her take on the 2024 GOP primary, Emmons called into question DeSantis' refusal to speak more about his policies. She pointed to Vivek Ramaswamy, and how he is making every media appearance possible - something DeSantis is not doing. "I like how [Ramaswamy] is impacting the conversation around what should be going on in the country, what kind of foreign policies we should be having. And I like when he comes out and speaks, I've seen him speak a couple of times, and I'm very interested in what he has to say. He has a similarity to Trump in that they are both coming from the business world, without a lot of political experience prior to jumping into the presidential arena."
"I will say that I had been initially very excited by Ron DeSantis. I loved what he was doing in Florida, as so many of us did. Watching how Florida blossomed while my home up in New York got virtually decimated during COVID, and has still certainly not recovered. I looked upon that with a certain measure of envy, and my cousins in Florida, you know, looking at them, like 'Oh, you get to just go live your life.' I find it really sort of sad as to what's happened to his campaign. I think some of that had to do with the fact that he was essentially running before he announced that he was running for president. But I don't know what's going on with his campaign. I don't know why they are sort of holding back."
Emmons speculated that maybe DeSantis should have waited to run until 2028. She also pointed to DeSantis' vague policies, something that is still not completely clear.
Emmons said that DeSantis had to "get on board" with talking to media outlets that want to speak with him, and that the Florida leader should be "making some bold statements."
"So, you know, I think that DeSantis has made a mistake there in not being more decisive about how he would actually lead the country. I also think that it's a mistake to not come out and support Trump against these indictments. When he was asked if he would pardon Trump, whether rightly or wrongly, think Trump had done anything wrong or should be pardoned or what have you, he made a crack about Trump's age. And of course, DeSantis is a young man. But that really wasn't the question. And we're seeing Trump be decidedly politically prosecuted by Joe Biden's Department of Justice. And it's so important for people to stand up and speak out against this."
Posobiec said that Trump and DeSantis just need to duke it out, adding that "if we're going to have a fight over all this, then fine. Let's have it out. Let's do it."
