the baseball diamond to make it to yale university, where heunto foptained the baseball team. while at yale, he signed up for the navy, served in uniformtiesa a number of capacities and stayed in the military until shortly after he became governor of florida. and as governor , he florida through the pandemic, earning praise from the righ t and derision from the left. and the people od thf florida ss to like his first term. he was reelected in overwhelming numbers last fall, and today he announced his candidacy to be the next-preside president of the united states . un states anw for his first television interview since that announcement. and we ment will keep him longer than most guess so we can ask him about his plans for the country, as well as how he n will address the issues confronting our culture. our and our country. i can't promise you that i won't crash, but fox news will not crash. brring this interview, gov. desantis, if you broke twitter,a my daughter and the connectionsn

are going to bowe very upset wht with you. i don't know if that's whaentedt happened not with elon musk or . maybe you just had a big audience. ienc >> we had a huge audience. it did. it was the biggest they'd everpe had. it did break the twitter space . and so we're really exciteds abu with the enthusiasm. but ultimately, it's about the future.e future of our of our country. i try i'm running to leadm ru a great american comeback. is o we know the country is on the wrong track. we see o iur et with our eyes. >> we feel it in our bones.de wer seebe the bordeinr being on . we see crime infesting. the cities. we see the federal government making a mor ente difficult fors meet families to make ends meet. and we have a president who is t a listless vessel, not e energetic and nonergt dealinghar with the key challenges thate are facing our country. but it does not have to be thiso way. our decline as a country is not inevitable. it is a choice.hoos sod i think we can choose a better pathway and so what i will do is help restore normalcy to our communities, integrity to our institutions and sanis, integt to our societ.

truth needs to be the foundation of everything we do, and common sense can noonge longer be an uncommon virtue.doi we proved it could be done in florida. we chose facts ove r fear when it wasn't popular. we chose education over ove indoctrinates and we've chosen r ovw and order over rioting and disorder. it for th if we can do it there, we can il do it for the country and the pledge. i'll mak e for people is simply this. we need to win nee againd to as republicans. cul we got to dispense with this culture of losing. and if you nominate me, i pledge to you that on january 20th, 2020 five at high noon, that i'll be the guyt side o on the west side of the capitoli with the left hand on the bible and the right hand in the air, taking the oath ofe offices th as the forty seventh president of the united states . no more excuse47nt os. we've got to get this one done.. and anybody that's so inclinedl to help us , i would love to have your support at ofrodesantis .com if you make a donation, maybe we can break that part of the internet as well. >> can

governor , you anticipated my first question, which is whyt ? comecond question would be why now? you are veryin youngg in termsf political years. i don't even think you're forty five . yeah. sot yo why now and whatha distinguishes you from the othetr candidates?cy dif are there policy differences or is it more about electability and how you would implement those policies even if you agree on them? >> well, why now? it' i think it's becausey the country is going in the wronng in thg direction. av we have another four years ofthi the biden administrationde. i think some of the damagei thin is going to be irreversible. i think we have an opportunity now, kind of like the late 1970s when jimmy carter was president , to really move the country in a much strongeray direction and really bring a lot of bol ld leadership b to bear with me. well, i think what we've been able to do in florida is twoonew things. one , we've haad unpred unpreced policy success. e all the things that we believers as republicans ory

as conservatives for many, many years, we've been able to take those values and those principles and actually turn them into reality. every single day. we put up big wins on the board, but we're doing that while also enjoying major political success.ying major pol success. you alluded to it. we were able to win reelectioniy by a historic margin, overion v. one point five million votes. and you can't dot do that in a swing state like florida just by getting republicans. we were ablerepublic to win counties like miami-dade county, which had voted for hillary clintonn 3 by 30 points in 2016.2016. we not only want it, we wants. by double digits. we're in 60% of the hispanic vote . we won independents by 18percen percentage points. and notaw for the first time since the civil war era, there's not a single democra at elected in statewide office in the state of florida. you golorida.t to be able to wi. and then when you get in office, you've got to be able to deliver results. and i think we've been ablableet to do both of those as good or better than anybody in the country.

>> all right. speaking of delivering results,s if you were to become, the president, one oef first issues you would confront is inflation. what would you do aboutn? inflation? and do you believe it is linked to deficit spending? and can deficit spending be addressed without addressinga mandatory spending or what people call entitlements? of course, the overspendingn. is driving inflation. and if you go back to march of 2020, you've massive amounts oft debt added. >> you've seen the federal reserve print trillions and trillions of dollars. anybodllars, ay knew at the timr and people like our friende thomas massie were screaming from the rooftops at the time that it was going to lead to persistent inflation. so you neent inflation.d to spes money. you also need to expandee comestic energy production. energy costs contribute a to inflation. we have an abundance of resourcend ws here that thisil president doesn't want to use. so we will reverse biden'sgy energy policies very quickly. w but we also need a federalat reserve that's going to focus

on maintaining a stable dollar. they shoul shod not be the econc central planner for our country. theythey're not accountable to anybody. they're not elected by anybody. and ye elected b thisey're printing of money has really thrust us into this. they said there wouldn't. be inflation. and yet here we are now.w hiki they've been hiking interest rates and that hurts the economy. so we need a fed focused on a reable dollar. and don't worry about trying to manipulate the rest of the economy. if a candidate for the republican nomination or president says i can balance the budget, i can restore fiscal sanity,isca and i can dos without touching mandatory spending or what others call entitlements, should that person be believed? [la >> well, trey, you know] the math. well the end of the day,an we're spending so much more and it's a combination of both. i mean, there are some spendingd programs that are on autopilotig that congress doesn't even touch and those have grown dramatically. you have also, though, seenincra

a huge increase in what they call discretionary the spending. certainly in the last four or five years, congress spendingthb at levels thatac you and i couldn't never even fathom back in the day. of th soes i think it's a combination of all these things, you know,rh right now, we have a situationn where joe biden is refusing to do reallyis refus anything ty to limit how much money is beingli spent. i thin and i think he's beene has singularly irresponsible in terms of how he's handled the federal budget or governor . gov people hear words and sometimes use words like woke or culture ernor,peoples anwars. c what is the role of the president and participatingn in culture wars?d and i'll ask you specifically about education, because many conservatives think that's a state issue, but that's alsota a battleground for what people call woke or culture wars as president. what role do you play? i know, governor , butow a as president, what role wouldor you play? >> well, first of all, the woke mine virus is basically a form w of cultural marxism.

at the end of the day, it's an attack on the truth and because it's a war on truth, i think we have no choice but to wage a war on woke. so how doe s that work for a president? some of it may be the bully t pulpit, being willing to tellth the truth and noe trt being deld by ideology, which we see in see many aspects of our society. there are probably ways, though, that you can makeiffere a differencenc. of th certainly when you look at esg and some of the things that'se going on with major financialns institutions in corporate america, we haveco every right to be pushing back on that with education. you know, the federal government approves the accredited creditors for universitiesitation,. there's a reason why universities are infested asth things like dgi. yes, some of it is . that, them may want to do that, but some of it is the creditors do tell them you have to do thatntd while as president, i'll make i sure we're approvingng to do a creditors that are going are to do the opposite, that areo going to say, you know what, we're going to credit you if you are a colourblind university, if you're note basi trying to divide people

on the basis of race. >> so there are different tools at your disposal. it's not the same as the as ascan ha a governor. but i think you can have an impact across a wide variety of different areas. >> you know, governor >> t, whe: i think of dangerous places, i think of sudan, north korea. i don't think florida. k of f i don't thinlok of a traveli advisory as it relateso to florida. floru tag to let you take us to our first breakek by lettingay people know that it's okay. it's safe to travel to florida ,despite what the naacp and i believe the chairman of the naacp may actually live in florida. so maybe his house is for sale.k but i'll let you take us toe the brink by addressing the travel advisor addressy. it's a typical political stunt . first of all, florida's crime rates at a 50 year low. compare to places like chicagoo or baltimore. i don't hear the naacp talking u about that. if you look at our education system, wecation have school chy that's one of the reasons why our black students perform the

as high as just about any black students in the country. we're second are and thirdh and and fourth grade math and reading, respectively, because parents have optionsg respecauss >> you go to baltimore, chicago, some of these kids arle more likely to get shot thangh-i to actually have a high quality education. abdon't heari the naacp talking about that. so we're proud o we've been able to do. and oh, by the way, trey corder, one of 2023 florida, set yet another tourismrecord record . and i can tell. you , since i've been governor , some of the people who've contributed to our record tourism have beenh board members of the naacpav. ? how do i know? because they put pictures ofrida their florida vacation on their social media accounts. so this is an attempt to createa a phony narrativ pe. but i think people are onto this stuff. they know what iy take it is . n and they take it with a grain of salt and they dismiss it.t. >> governor ron desantis, we're going to be right back after a quick break. and we'll haveak a more conversationdn with thewite governor . >> and that's coming u

p friday, three doors down on fox and friends. moshav, i'm not going will be drunk out friday on the ol american summer concert series presented by loews, sirius xm. listen. like you were there. looks like you've been sleeping well. megan , he's back to my pillow guy and you're looking good. still feeling good. well, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, we've got the best pillow ever. mypillow 2.0. >> i'm interrupting this commercial to let you all know that you have made mypillow 2.0 a huge success. and because your amazing

you were on the oversight committee. mmittep view oe anfe u upe department of justice and the fbi if you becomeyou do president , what would you do to change or fix both of thosekr entities? what are you looking forn an i n an attorney general? and would you keep chris wray is the director of the fbi? n no, i would not keep chris raines, director of the fbi. there be a new onee dior of th . i think that's very important in terms of an attorney general . you need someone that's gotrong a really strong backbone. you need somebody that knows ba you're going in there and you're taking care of business. t "the washington post" is not going to like you .ork "new york times" is not gointimy to like you . you're going to get attacked a by cnn and you got to wear thate as a badge of honor. you can't try to please polite society because otherwise you'll just get captured by theh institution itself.erwi and youi think the doj and fbil have lost their way.f.d i i think thatthin they've beens weaponized against americans who think like meth and you. d they and i thin hk that they become

very partisan. part of the reason that'sisan happened.on is because becau republican presidents have accepted the canard thatse prese do the doj and fbi are, quote, independent. they are not independentnt agenc agencies. they are part ofy the executive branch. they answer to the elected president of the united states . so as president, you have ident ofa responsive ability toe involved in holding those agencies accountable. clearing out people who are note doing the job and making surees that they're doing the people's business and they're not abusing their authority. not for example, if the fbi or j whatever collude with a techry t company to try to censor information every buddy involved with that would be fired immediately. if y. agenhe president and right now i think those agencies have been able to go without anyhe real accountability. and so guess what? when there's no accountability ,the bad behavior is going to continue. >> all right. let's move to the border. , lega legal immigration, illegal immigration. president ron desantis doesat?

what does what on borderon borde security does what on the asylum process? what is your immigration planrai for bothon legal and illegal immigration? >> day one , it's a national its emergency will mobilize allces o resources to construct the border wall , shut the border down. we're not going to be entertaining asylum claims for people coming across the border illegally. we're going to make very y cl clear about that. ea we're going to have things likev remain in mexico so we don'tes have the incentives to come t illegally. we do need to hold these mexican drug cartels accountable. and we'll be looking at levers e ab that we can pull to be ableat te to do that. ht at the end of the day, nobody has a right to come to our country illegally. we, the american people, canstea determine what type of immigration system that we want. to.k the purpose of immigration is to benefit our country. and so if people comingi don' illegally does not benefit, which i don't thint ik it is , then we shouldn't do it. i think the legal immigration

system needs to be geared, though, towards assimilating peopletoward. it is we used to do a pretty good job of that. now it's almost like we try to incentivize people to come and not want to assimilateto int our country. so we're going to be veryfinall strong on the border.y we'll finally get that donef it, and take care of it, because hav republicans have been askingyean about this for years and years and years. i can tell you today, whenll i o i tell people i'm going to dose something, i follow through. i'll use all the levers at doneisposal to be able to get it done.d we and we will finall wily put this issue to bed once and for all. >> does your immigration plan iu include a wall, the completion of a wall, a fuldel wall on the on the on the border with mexico? >> yeah, we will construct too the border wall . i think it's too big the border to only rely on personnel. you need to have that physicaln all. borde and if we had a physical wall on the southern border, biden woul able d not be able ts away with as much shenanigans gi as he's getting away. awthe reason he's allowingbe the border to be openpe is because you have widennes opn

spaces across thousands of miles of the border. es of ththat wall would stop a f that illegal immigration. there's other points wherehere they're trying to do. then that's where you putrsonne. so i want the personnel. >> so i want a full wall and we will mobilize whatever resourceser resou we n, including the military, to get it done. >> letne me ask you about a florida issue has also gone national. how did the dispute or fighttiop whatever word people want to use with disney begin and how does it end? well, in florida, we believe in the protection of children. we believe it's inappropriate to be jamming things likee transgender ideology intoclassr elementary school classrooms.oo and we had a bill to protect parentrents and children from tt in florida. disney opposed it. they triedthey t to take it. they usually get whatever they want. and throughout history in throuflorida, but with me to f. as governor, that wasn't going to fly. we signed the bill and wet i protected our kids. but i think disney has goneoad f down the roa wd of wanting to pt

sexualization in the children's programing. way so the company, i think, has lost its way in terms ofs that the values that maybe they had when walt established it or when it first started in florida. in flor what ended up happening,they hav though, is that they had this cushy arrangement that they gotm decades ago where they hadent their own government in central florida. e ha they were exempt from laws thatn everyone else had to follow and they got massive tax breakse and even racked up municipal debt. so what we said was, look,t we're not comfortable having this company on a pedestal thiso joined at the hip with the hav state of florida. our values have just gone in different directions. and so we endedr their self-governing status. ase they now have to live underey hv the same laws as everybody else and they have to pay their faiar share of taxes. so they're suing us to trye to recover their corporate welfare. you have no right to corporate welfare. people florida is a great business environment. people are making money nor fist, but it's just l not good enough for them to live like universal or seaworld.iversal seaworl they want to have their own a n special arrangement. but there's a newnw sherif

wiin town and that's not going to happen. and at the end of the day, we will never waver in our defensee of families and childrenns and s a father of a six, a five and a three year old, i strongly believe that parents shouldol be able to send their kids to school, have them watchr just cartoons or just be kids without someone trying to shove an agenda down their throats. >> is that an example ofat something governor or the senators might become involvedn exampl with ?d with but president desantis would not. i mean, the president hassantis a differen wt role. there would not be that, i guess interconnectivity, the private business, or do you think it's also appropriate r a president to do that? >> well, if there was somehow corpderally conferred private government given to a corporation like you had with disne wy, then that could. potentially be something that you would do. but i don't think that than'int exists anywhere else in the country. so this was a unique setup involving the state of florida and this one company. and it started many, many

decades ago. but clearly, it's not somethings that was viable going forward. so i just don't think you would have the same set of facts, president , vis a vis whatt vis- a governor would do in this w situation. ould dbut we will , as presideni lean in againsdet woke ideologye and against the sexualisation of children. it's wrongxu what they're tryingds to do to these kids. we're not going to abide by it.w and in floridahe, we say we're the state where hope goes to die. asyou as president , i'm going to make sure woke ideology ends up in the dustbin of history. let me ask you about another contentious issue. for decadee ass, conservatives wanted the issue of abortione sent to the states . floridflorida,a, i think you rey signed, signed into law law o legislation in florida. the word life is mentioned inmeo the u.s. constitution. education n is not. e >> marriage is not. privacy is not the word. life is . so is it really the best position for conservatives to argue that there should be 50 different definitions of

when life begins? or should thats? be should thatt be the same definition forthat e the entire country, given the fact the word does doesd dos exist in the u.s. constitution? >> e well, i've been proud as governor to stand for a culture of life, and i think all republicans need to do that. as you alluded to , we were able to sign legislation protecting unborn child with aoh detectable heartbeat. and we think that that's a humane thing to do.o. and it's similar to what governor reynolds did in iowa. and i applaud her for that.that dobbs returned the issue to the elected representatives of the peoplepresenta. th the f and so i think that there'she there's a role for bothstate, the federa il and the states . e i think at the end of the day, g fighting for life and protecting life really as a bottom up movement. i think we've been able to have great successes at the localhe l leveocall. i am concerned about a democratic administration with a trifecta trying

to nationalize abortioton and al the way up until birth. that would be a violation of what states like florida havee e done to protect life. it would. be a violation of whac states like iowa have done to protect life. and i think that thaeyt would ft be an abuse of power for them, try to override every single pro-life protection in thisorti country and allow abortionon a i the way up to the moment of birth, which 90% of americans find to be truly horrific. >> well, this put california in idaho. is that just the price we pay for federalism? life that life begins at conceptionnc in idaho, bueptiont it begins m, much, much later in california? is that is that the price that that we pay for federalism? i don't think it's the price's e you pay for federalism. i think that there's justuntr the practical reality that the country is divided on the issue. and so the question is , how are you going to be able to save more lives?? and i think obviously idahodaho is going to be able to do a lot

on their own. they would not be ablee to to do as much if they ran it all through washington, d.c.. so some of this is a, so som maf strategy. some of it is d yoa matteru ofl you know, what could you do to be able to advance the ball forward? clearly in california, you aretile going to have very, very hostile views. they want to have abortion all the way up until birth. i think they actually allow it. postba youg, if you can believe that, which i think is truly horrific. all right. trey: y you wore the uniform. if you are elected president , you may be the first one ine to a while to have worn the uniform. how would you addressgo the ongoing war in easterning wn europe between russia and ukraine on day one of a ron desantis presidency? >> well, first, i think what we need to do as a veteran is recognize that our military has becomeo reco politicized. tk you talk about gender ideology.y you talk about things like global warming, that they're somehow concerned. and that's notnd tha the militay that i served in.urn our militay >> we need to return

our military to focusingg on on commitment, focusingd the on the core values and the corew mission. that would be something thatou i could takeld b care of.will b on day one , there'll be aa new sheriff in town aswn commande as cor in chief, and ig you'll see recruiting star st to get back to where it needsn o to be because people don't wanta to join a military. and i thinry ak it's been reallo really problematic. look, in terms of what's goinggn on over in eastern europe, i u know, i'd like to see a settlement of this. i do not want to see a wider war. i think it's completely unknowable. unknowable whawhat will look lin january of twenty , twenty five . buwoult i would not want to see the united states with our troops get enmeshesd in a war in russia or in ukraine. >> governor , there is a very, very slight chance that a you will pick up a nickname at some point in the next couple of days or weeks. certainly, perhaps from one one fellow contender, maybe for i d more than one . i don't know.do how do you run you r a robust

campaign in a in a vast and varied field? mpaignand still bring everyone ? because whoever the republican nominee is is going to have eve to have everyone to win the general election. soeneral how do you run robustl even sometimes what is going to be tough and still keep supporters of other candidatesoi ? bein, look, i don't mind being called different things. i've beeferentn called everythit a child of god as it is . so that doesn't faze me. you and you can call mel me a whatever you want. just make sure you call me e a winner. becaus what we've donea an in the state of florida and that's exactly what we would do nationally. all 'st we donot only in the elt actually bringing all these great policy to bear. i can tell you today in florida, we united republicans like no one's ever done.ne has e i think i got 98% ofmy republicans in my reelection. . we also really expanded to tentt . and i thin cank that's the onlyl that you can do it. they'l and arrl be slings and a but i'm a big boy.e are a

i can take it. there's a lot of people have cou given a lot more than that so that this country can be free.yo you cau can see their tombstones places like arlington national l cemetery. g if the sacrifice i have to makea is people are going to call me names that pales in comparison with so many people have done th for meout throughout history so that i could live in a free country. .day one , you mentioned noonmen on inauguration day. day one , you get to the whitee, house. what is the first thing president ron desantis would do and what arewould the firstd ty three things that you would try to do legislatively? so first thing you would do executive with your executive threr and then one , what would be your first three priorities legislatively? >> well, so i think we said , dou know, the border, there's a lot you can do ripping out biden's anti-american energy policies, which you probably could do most of that executive. you'll probably needof to do legislat some of that legislative as well and then reconstitutiont

losing the administrative state. we have a bureaucracra.where y s totally out of control. you need to be willing to use article two power to bring the administrative state to heel. i will do that. h i thineal,k congress also has a role and rate reining in the abuses through both the power of the purse and through making sure that their legislature ating, tha clear and defined laws that aren't delegating huge swaths of power to unelectedea bureaucrats. today,ucrat. one thing i think we canl scho do legislatively is national school choice. we'volchoice, e done it in flore it's made a huge difference for low income families. i look at places like chicagoan and baltimore and l.a., unions h the teachers unions run those areas. i don't think there's any wa i yline that you're ever going to give those kids a lifeline unless we come in through a taxgram and credit program and offer scholarships to some of these kids. f thesbut as it is now, these ks have no chance. dyd those dysfunctional environments, this would be ama major lifeline. i think we can get ilit done and i think can make a big

difference. >> governor , you represent oc t by oceans,ded by water and have had a seriesfc of hurricanes. what is your view on climate change and what is the role of government in addressing it? the hurricanes are note not -- they have not increased. the number of people try to say when we had in that it was because of climate change. thet but if you look at the first 60 years from 19 to 1960, we had more major hurricanes hit florida than in the 60 or sincei then. this is something that's a fact of life in the sunshine state. i've always rejected the politicization of the weather. and i think what we shoulde be doing in the united states is focusing on being energy independent, makingin sun we're utilizing the resources. and oh, by the way, whentions an you have market based solutions, when you innovate in florida, we'vewe seen emissions go down dramatically in the last 10 years. e lastbut that's through market

and innovation. that is not through mandates. w and i think what biden wants ar do, he wants to take us in a direction where we're like w germany, where we don't have a reliable power grid, where prices spikeices. le, they i mean, california, forin example, they have a tough time keeping the lights on and yet they want to ban the internal combustion engine. people are goingal to plug in,2l what, another 20 million evs? how are they going to be ablew o to support that? so we've got to get real here. we got to understand thatd reliable energy is somethingis that is absolutely essential for a free society. iety andand we will make sureas to deliver that as president. >> president ron desantis would deal with china. how to recognize that there are four foremost gop eco political threat? i think our economies have become way too intermingle havde ifve you look during the soviet era, we were never intermingled with our economy. now we havs e critical thingstht that we rely on our foremostr adversary for. during covid, it wasng almos ct everything.

so i think we need to reassure some of these critical manufacturing itemma s. relati i think we need to havejapan, a robust relationship toth japan, korea, india, australia to make sure that we t can check chinese expansionismex in the pacific. we alspao havens to recognize thatid china is getting a foothold in our own western hemisphere. neeand a 21st century that version of the monroe doctrine, where we're making sure that our own backyard is a freedomlof zone. we've got a lot of leftist governments in latin america that have invited them in.y bad i think that's really bad for our national security. but we have to understand that china is a threat. i think biden, for whatever reasons, has been hasbx been lack on china. begging and i think he's begging china to do some type of a dealt woul with ukraine and russia. and i think that would be a mistake to involve in that. >> governor , i know you have a young family. i will let, an you gd glo home s them to bed with this. one last question. o do you plan to participate ind t all the debates? and would you have a word ofcoue counsel for any candidates thato

write, do basic math , no civics or a little about whetory, whether it was the pandemic or something else. pandechildren in many parts ofl the country are falling further behind forr behind all the talkb which books should be banned, banned, quiteok like not being able to read, teach the kids to read first,e, and when they get to a certaince age, they can decide forciselvew themselves what they want to read. but ifwrit you cannoe,t read any write, you won't make it.u or if you do, you will havestene a bare existence. education is too fundamental to be a political football. e go so when the governor of north carolina, roy cooper, declared a state of emergency,state of emerg i listened. but he was talking about schoolo choice. that wasol c the emergency to h. for all the talk about choice and our culture, one haslt to wonder why choosingure, where to send your kids to school is not one of those choices.inin >> joining us now is a former congresswoman from hawaii,formep former presidential candidate tulsi gabbard.

aloha, tulsi. >> how are you ? you? thank you for joining us , my friend. aloall right. i maybe education is in a state of emergency, but i don't thinkr it's because parents havee a choice on where to send their kids to school. ki, ini think we got a lot of challenges, but i don't think that's the one. >> no change. i loo i looked at his statement and it was very glaring aboutd h thw screwed up his prioritieiss are. t was his whole statement wanos notw h about how , gosh, like our kids are not getting a qualityn. education. the state is failing them. thatus.not his his focus was on telling the legislature that passed his bill with bipartisan support. if you allow parents to chooseeh where their where their kids can go to school, kindan g of education is best for them. public schools will be damaged. so he cares about feeding and serving this this public tha school bureaucracy more than he does abouthe doe the quality of education that our kids receive. he cares more about powe cares i he does about the people. and that's really what's atd yo the hearknt of this.

and , you know, we take a step back , as you said , and you open this is not a partisan issue. it shoulhod nould t be a partisn issue. the well-being of our kids. and it's kind of crazy when you think about how diverse, you know, personalities and styles of learning our kids have. you have two kids.s your kids ar e different from each other. how do we how do we think that these kids should fit into this cookie cutter mold? of public education? they all have to do exactlyme ti the same thing, learn exactlngyb the same way and somehow ed well preparede well to to hae that quality education. of course, parents should be allowed to choose that for their kids. they know their kids the best. and unfortunately, governor coope.r and thosein who are standing with him in not this, they don't care. ultimately , they don't care about our kids. >> you know, they may also be on the wrong side ofn th politics. i mean, you and i agree thiseoll is not a political issue. it's about reading and writing.d bu t when you and i were in congress, there was this d.c. opportunity scholarship program ,which from time to time we voted on . and i remember juson, and t howp

likely the partnerships were on that issue because you haverc parents who might not agree anyo with the republicans on any otheth but ther issue, but theyd to be able to send their kidsn . to the best schoolc.s in d.c. and not be hamstrung because of finances. i mean, look, i don't wannapolis talk about the politics of. but i do think there's a risk. i think there's a risk when you tell parents because you may be indigent or don'tcano have the money, you can't go to the same school. >> other people can go to. >> i couldn't agree more and enforce governor cooper is kind of displaying some of these more authoritarian style decision styles and positions t we're seeing, unfortunately, too much in the democratic party. it's one of the reasonsons why a i left where they're saying, hey, no parents, you don't knoi what'swh best for your kids. the government does. and we're going to dictatey shou to you how you should raise them, what they should be allowed to leard ton and if

they're okay, you got to go to public school. well, public schools arele not i focusing so much on thosea essentials. reading and writing and math and sciencmathe and history.ingu they're talking about a sexualizing our kids as youngkid as kindergarten, first, second, third grade. so, you know, the legislaturetu should defeat his hires rejectin of their legislation if memorynv serves me. governor terry mcauliffe told parents to stay out of education, which may be why his new first name is former governor terry mcauliffe. tulsi gabbard of hawai i, aloha. >> thank you for joining us . aloha. good to see you , too. th all the threats our country is facing, you will not believee what the state department is taking the time to address. so let's go straight to former secretary of state mike pompeo for the latest. >> so i got this from experience. it's got everything i need to help my finances. i got my fico score, raised it
