Ron DeSantis on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>In a sit-down interview for Sirius XM\u2019s \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show,\u201d the former Fox News\u2063 host pressed the\u2064 governor on his recent dealings with two giant \u200dconglomerates \u2014 Anheuser-Busch InBev\u200b and \u200bDisney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou, in my view, are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/inside-the-privacy-battle-raging-between-apple-and-facebook\/\" title=\"Inside The Privacy Battle Raging Between Apple And Facebook\">pretty quick<\/a> to use the\u200b power of the state against certain corporations you don\u2019t like,\u201d Kelly\u200c said.<\/p>\n<p>She questioned \u2064if the hopeful \u2064presidential \u200ccandidate\u200c was being hypocritical and doing the thing\u200c the left does.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Bud \u200bLight<\/strong> was up first. The \u200cbeer was thrust\u2064 into controversy when the \u200bcompany decided to \u2062send transgender \u2063influencer Dylan Mulvaney a can with his face on\u200b it. The move sparked immediate backlash resulting in the\u200d company losing its\u200b <strong>No. 1 beer<\/strong> spot and billions in revenue.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1682357571707973635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> for \u201can investigation into AB InBev\u2019s actions regarding their Bud Light marketing campaign and\u200d falling \u200dstock prices\u201d in a July 20 letter to Florida\u2019s State\u200c Board of Administration.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview \u200dwith Kelly, DeSantis defended\u200d his actions, saying the company\u2019s misfire caused its <a

and thus impact \u2063Florida\u2019s pension fund, \u2062as the state holds Anheuser-Busch InBev stock.<\/p>\n<p>While DeSantis\u2062 said that as an American he no \u2063longer supports the beer company, he \u200badded the state is \u201cdefending the people that are beneficiaries of the pension,\u201d citing the\u2063 teachers, police and\u200d firefighters of the Sunshine

\u2063Florida needed to investigate AB InBev, DeSantis returned to the bottom line \u2014\u200b a \u200ddecline in stock prices hurt the\u200c individuals who have money invested.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Next up was Disney.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, \u2062DeSantis passed the Parental Rights in Education Act, which prohibits Florida public schools from teaching third-grade students \u200dand \u200cyounger about\u200c sexual orientation or \u200dgender\u2063 identity and \u2063limits the information taught\u200d in higher grades.<\/p>\n<p>Disney decided to issue a <a

\u200d\u201cOur goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the\u200c courts, \u200cand we remain committed to supporting\u2062 the national and <a

Banning Sexuality, Gender Discussions For Little Kids \u2018Should Never Have Passed\u2019\">state organizations working<\/a> to achieve that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis told Kelly that Disney was \u201ctaking their\u2064 corporate resources to <a

examples.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get it, I get it,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t want a \u200dPresident Gavin Newsom doing this \u200dto <a

\u200cit wasn\u2019t fair to other corporations, as Disney \u200bwas the only one provided\u200c with tax breaks and \u2064the ability to control its own government.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He

felt\u2064 the need to\u200d expand, it would \u200bhave been within its rights to seize the property of individuals who lived in subdivisions outside of Disney property \u200dper the previous\u200c agreement the conglomerate had with the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas this an arrangement that was justifiable?\u201d DeSantis questioned. \u201cThe answer is no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a
