Joe Biden sits down with Kal Penn for tonight’s episode of The Daily Show, and in one early clip, the president talks of Florida lawmakers’ attacks on the transgender community.
Speaking of transgender kids, Biden said, “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. It is just terrible what they are doing. It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I want to become a man or I want to become a woman or I want to change. I mean, what are they thinking about here. They are human beings. They love. They have feelings. They have inclinations that are …it just to me, is, I don’t know is, it’s cruel.”
Biden said the response should be passing legislation like Congress did last year, which solidified federal recognition of same-sex marriage rights.
Florida medical boards, with the support of Governor Ron DeSantis, have banned gender affirming care for minors. Lawmakers also have proposed legislation that would require teachers matching a child’s sex at birth.
Penn served in the White House during the Obama administration. The interview, set to air at 11 p.m. ET/PT, was conducted at the White House and also includes a tour of the Oval Office. This is Biden’s first Daily Show interview since becoming president.

Governor Ron DeSantis promised more to come on the state’s increasingly convoluted fight with Disney to wrest back the company’s control of a swath of central Florida that is home to Walt Disney World.
faces more than 30 business fraud charges related to his role in a series of hush money payments made to the porn star during the 2016 election.“Once she heard, Stormy Daniels was like, ‘Oh, so this is what it feels like to be satisfied,'” Fallon joked.The host also presented what he said was Trump’s reaction, in the form of a video.It’s the first time a former president has ever been formally charged with a crime. The indictment remains under seal, so the details are not yet public.Fallon also noted that the machinations around Trump’s arrest could impact another potential 2024 presidential candidate, whose rivalry with the former president has been heating up in recent weeks.“If Trump refuses to surrender,” Fallon quipped, “Florida governor Ron DeSantis would have to approve a request to send him to New York.”Then, imagining how DeSantis would respond in such a situation, Fallon said, “DeSantis is like, ‘Oh, it’s approved.
Donald Trump‘s dinner with Kanye West was a “big mistake”.West met with Trump at the former US President’s Florida estate last November, where the pair were also joined by right-wing political commentator and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Following the dinner, Trump called West a “seriously troubled man”.“I told him don’t run for office [in 2024], a total waste of time, can’t win,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.
A grand jury indicted him earlier in the day on charges related to a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. “This evening we contacted Mr.
Piers Morgan and Donald Trump have locked horns after the former US president branded the presenter ‘ratings-challenged. ’The scathing remarks came ahead of the former Good Morning Britain presenter’s interview with the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, 44, which will be broadcast in full on Thursday.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t officially declared himself a candidate for the 2024 presidential election at this point, and that’s fine by Whoopi Goldberg and the hosts of “The View.” That’s because, as Whoopi so bluntly put it on Thursday morning, DeSantis is “not ready for America.”To kick off the day’s Hot Topics discussion, the women discussed their opinions on how DeSantis has positioned himself politically thus far, particularly with his responses to twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s attacks, as well as DeSantis’ own gripes about “wokeness.”When Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines began debating if DeSantis is actually playing a smart long game, having gone to both Yale and Harvard, Whoopi noted that DeSantis’ degrees don’t mean much to her.“Just because people have education, doesn’t mean they have any kind of real sense,” Whoopi said.
Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is aiming to expand the state’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law, officially known as the Parental Rights in Education Act, such that it would apply to public school classrooms from pre-K through grade 12.

Joe Harding, the now-former Florida Republican lawmaker who authored the extremist “Don’t Say Gay” bill could face up to 35 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday afternoon to federal felony fraud charges in a scheme to obtain $150,000 in COVID-19 relief funds, according to Florida Politics‘ publisher Peter Scorsch.Harding, 35, was a construction project manager who started his own lawn care company. He quickly became a right-wing darling after his anti-LGBTQ legislation, officially the Parental Rights in Education Act, was embraced by Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed it into law.Harding was charged in a December federal indictment with six counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements in his plot to obtain $150,000 in COVID funds.He resigned from the legislature the following day.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis is coming for The Apprentice alum, Donald Trump!
With the 2024 presidential election getting closer, twice-impeached former president is turning hard on his party (or at least, those who have fallen out of step with him). It’s getting to a point where Seth Meyers thinks it’s not outside the realm of possibility for Trump to eventually backtrack his long criticisms of Barack Obama.During his “A Closer Look” segment on Thursday night, Meyers mocked Florida governor Ron DeSantis for attracting “the bloodshot Eye of Sauron” as he potentially gets closer to announcing a presidential bid.
New York Times reported Thursday.Studies Weekly’s existing lesson on Parks currently being taught to some Florida first graders states “The law said African Americans had to give up their seats on the bus if a white person wanted to sit down.” But the version recently submitted for Florida reviewers said “She was told to move to a different seat because of the color of her skin” – then updated a final time to say only “She was told to move to a different seat.”Florida is one of about a dozen states that approve academic texts above the district level. One year after dozens of math books were infamously rejected in Florida, social studies books are now being scrutinized by a small army of academic experts, educators, political activists and parents.
RuPaul’s Drag Race that tours throughout the country.Although the show required people under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult in order to attend, the DeSantis administration has sought to use its influence — including its control over the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which oversees business licensing — to crack down on any aspect of “woke” or LGBTQ culture, including drag shows.Opposition to drag shows is largely based on the premise that they are harmful to children, because they expose youth to demonstrations of gender nonconformity or sexually-tinged content, which may inspire children to emulate that behavior in their personal lives.In an administrative complaint, the DBPR accused the Hyatt Regency Miami of several violations of law, citing a heretofore rarely-enforced prohibition on “lascivious exhibition” in front of people younger than 16.According to the department, “A Drag Queen Christmas” featured performers “wearing sexually suggesting (sic) clothing and prosthetic female genitalia,” as well as simulating masturbation.The DBPR had previously balked at the way that “A Drag Queen Christmas” was marketed as an “all ages” event when tickets were being sold, and warned the Hyatt to prohibit minors from attending the show, or risk various penalties, including the loss of their liquor license, according to the right-wing outlet Florida Voice.Organizers subsequently updated their advertising with a warning that the show contained “adult content” and was recommended only for those over 18 years of age.Because some parents are believed to have allowed their children under the age of 18 to attend the show, the DBPR is following through on its threat to revoke the hotel’s liquor license.

Trump admitted that Florida governor Ron DeSantis is “probably” his biggest challenger for the GOP presidential nomination.Of course, he immediately added that “we’re not going to have much of a challenge.” But Fallon thinks there was one other addendum to that.“Trump said his only other rivals are the Justice Department and high cholesterol,” he said. Indeed, the former president remains under several investigations, though not all of them are specifically from the Justice Department.
Governor Ron DeSantis is hitting back at President Joe Biden, who slammed the Sunshine State’s anti-transgender policies as “cruel” and “close to sinful.” The far-right Florida Republican is using a far-right extremist, one has been accused of promoting stochastic terrorism, to make his point.In a “Daily Show” interview with former Obama White House aide, actor Kal Penn, President Biden denounced Florida’s anti-transgender policies.“What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, ‘close to sinful,'” President Biden told Penn. “It’s just terrible what they’re doing.”READ MORE: DeSantis and Far-Right Falsely Blame Wokeness and Diversity as Reason Silicon Valley Bank Collapsed (Video)“It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I want to become a man or I want to become a woman,” Biden added.
During a wide-ranging interview with “The Daily Show” guest host Kal Penn, President Joe Biden knocked the state of Florida for its “cruel” and “close to sinful” treatment of transgender children.“It’s just terrible what they’re doing. It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I wanted to become a man,’ or ‘I wanted to become a woman or I want to change,'” Biden said.

a form of retaliation against the Walt Disney Company for speaking out against the so-called “Parental Rights in Education” bill, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.The measure prohibits instruction or discussion in grades K-3 of gender or sexual orientation, and requires that any discussion of those topics in older grades be “age or developmentally appropriate.”Disney was initially silent on the bill, which Republicans were determined to pass, but the company later spoke out and agreed to pause all political donations to Florida politicians following internal backlash from LGBTQ employees and demonstrations protesting Disney’s response to the law.According to CNN, Peri has frequently made derogatory remarks about the LGBTQ community, lamenting the greater visibility of LGBTQ people and the lack of societal condemnation for homosexuality.“So why are there homosexuals today?” Peri said in a January 2022 Zoom discussion, later posted to YouTube. “There are any number of reasons, you know, that are given.
