and florida led when it counted. we led early on when the weight of the world was coming, bearing down on our shoulders . everything we did we were taking incoming. i remember the summer of 2020 we had the kids and you've got to have the kids in school. the teachers unions, they would put coffins outside the department of education building in tallahassee. they sued me to close the school but we stood strong and part of the reason we stood strong as we understood what it means to be a leader. not just be a politician that's twist in the wind but be willing to make the tough decisions. i look back at president eisenhower'sfarewell address . many of you remembered it because he warned about the military-industrial complex, that wasn't smart. he was right but if you read that speech also warned about the dangers of a rising scientific and technological elite. government funding more scientific research and he said when that happens there's a danger that public policy can be held captive by this scientific elite. he said

in the state of florida. and why even these biggest critics and lockdown come to floridai think it's simple . from the very beginning we refused to let this state this end into some type of faucian dystopia. we protect the people's rights. we protect people's jobs. we protected small businesses and we made sure every kid in the state of florida had an opportunity to go to school in person, five days a week. [applause] in florida we reject the biomedical security state which euros liberty, harms livelihoods and divides our society. and we not only reject it if it's governance, we have done things like band vaccine passports and mandates . because it's unacceptable to simply subcontract out faucism to big companies. florida has defeated faucism. freedom hasprevailed in the sunshine state . and florida led when it counted. we led early on when the weight of the world was coming, bearing down on our shoulders . everything we did we were taking incoming. i remember the summer of 2020 we had the kids and you've got

so we created t-shirts that said escape to florida, and the dates they were all in florida. we sold more outside the state than we sold here because people realized how hypocritical these people are. >> she had to take a twitter break because of the florida saga. she got some needed blowback for that. one last question on covid. you tweeted on legislation for people who want to visit their loved ones. what can you do to make sure this never happens again? gov. desantis: when covid first hit, you had to make decisions. the biggest decision we made in mid-march was we banned hospitals from sending covid positive patients back into nursing homes. other states forced them into nursing homes. we had certain mitigation that was required for nursing homes because we understood these are the most vulnerable people. as the weeks went on, we started getting into summer 2020, these people needed to be seeing their loved ones. we were encouraging visitation. the same went hospitals. the hospitals didn't want anyone in either. people need their loved ones there. this is an important part

kaki called fort florida tool lockdown. -- fort florida to lockdown. --for order to lockdown. florida to lockdown. these models were wrong. those people should be held accountable but it was viewed as a temporary thing. about --fauci is talking about lockdown. that would mean perpetual lockdowns. that was unacceptable but throughout that. of time, it was about people criticizing florida. doctors who criticize florida, always found a way to come to florida to escape their policies. big city mayors -- [applause] big city mayors and i'll tell you and anchor some of these leftist host who criticize on twitter and then they end up on the beach in south florida. our floridians give these people help when they see them because they are proud of our freedom and they know these people have about -- bad mouthing. the cherry on the sundae was you had aoc coming down and criticizing florida and comes down. we decided to make a joke about it. we created t-shirts at that set escape to florida, the lockdowns liberal tour and instead of having concert dates, we had governor whitmer and aoc an

mandated masks in florida.s never a basis to pray people can wear them or not for 100 years it was viewed as ineffective for cloth masks with the general public, fauci said that and then he flipped. they had never done a clinical trial to show cloth masks right now if you look at some of these legacy media outlets they will have doctors on who will say the cloth masks don't work. they would not have allowed that six or eight months ago but they now acknowledge that.do think you'll see more and more data. there been two clinical trials one in denmark, one inwo bangladesh. both showed a cloth mask is really noble in terms of its impact. that was certainly my belief with this. when you are talking about forced masking kids, you have to look at the harms that you are imposing on the kids. and so, how are they developing in terms of their speech?wh what is the emotional toll of not being able to see people smile and see people's faces? howro do you even understand people through this? if someone 20 feet away from hi

we are the free state of florida. [cheers and applause] and i think what we've seen the past couple of years brings back to old admonition made by president eisenhower, not the industrial complex, but in the same speech eisenhower talked about how government was more involved with funding scientific research and how there was a danger that public policy could be hijacked by a scientific and technological elite and he warned against that, he says the job of a statesman is not to allow policy to be hijacked by people like anthony fauci, the job of statesmanship is to harmonize the competing interests of society that makes society to function and weave that into a coherent policy and florida heeded ike's admonition. we protected people's freedoms and we kept our society functioning and the result is, we're better for it, not only are we doing as good as we've ever done, we are far outpacing state after state after state on almost every indicator imaginable. for example, our budget in the state of florida that i submitted

. >> i don't think it is limited to florida, we have a massive migration from the states.roblem with education. people who are seeking freedom are coming to florida and texas and tennessee and others, we have really been the epicenter, i think partly because we really been bold in saying that florida is a free state, we were staying that when it was not popular, now the lockdown politicians, they are found in florida vacation ing. they lockdown their people at home, then they end up on the beach in florida without a mask. that is hypocrisy, florida is that, part is because we protect people's rights during cope covid and part because we head on education, not against just crt and having school open but school choice, we have more school choice in flood, charter schools, private scholarships and lead in getting civics back into the high schools, we have high school, a requirement, it used to be, now it is again, we have a training together for teach target a $3,000 bonus if they go flew a civics boot camp. we'll have tests when people graduate school, similar to a citizensh

are advocate lockdowns criticize florida than they end up on the beach in south florida or something people on the beach without mask we don't want them to have to wear them but come on that's hypocrisy. so florida has become that and part of it is because we protected people's rights during covid. part of it is because we have lead on education not just against things like crt and having schools open but having school choice. we have more in school choice in florida book charter schools and private scholarships than anybody in the country. we also have a lead in getting civics back into our high schools. we now have high school it is a requirement again it used to be, now it is again. we have a training program for teachers and get a 3000-dollar bonus if they go through what we are calling a civics boot camp. we are going when people graduate school similar to a citizenship exam and a naturalized immigrant do you understand what it means to be an american? i think will people see that parents get really excited and some of these other states because as you said they are hopeless and

in florida, there is a federal trial over florida's changes to voting laws because they're focusing on restricting registration. we know the very well-known georgia law. what message does this send to litigators like yourself and those at ldf that are fighting these laws? it seems to me that even in a case like north carolina, where democrats win at the state level, at the state supreme court level, all the republicans have to do is try to advance it directly to the supreme court, and it looks like it's got at least five justices who will go along with anything, no matter how perverse. >> yeah, i think that's a difficult thing. as the reason why the supreme court is ruling on this case is because it's the first one out of the gate. it's the first week of february, right? and the court is already saying that it's too late. and right now some of my colleagues are in trial challenging the discriminatory laws that have been passed in places like florida and georgia and texas. and no matter how quickly those courts act now, it seems to be that the supreme court is saying that it's too late,

first of all, abortion access is already highly restricted in florida, as we're seeing that trend inis that abortion bans impact any type of person, but as you mentioned, those who have access to means will find a way to express bodily autonomy, have that agency, and decide the outcome of the pregnancy. is going to be those of no wealth, those who are pieces people of color, undocumented, people with disabilities, minor nurse, people who live in foster care, these are the populations of floridians who will have no other alternatives, and will be either forced to travel out of state, or force to become parents, and they know they're not ready or would not wish to pursue. so we're locking people deeper into poverty. there's already so much research that helps us understand what happens when someone cannot make a personal decision about their pregnancy. the outcomes are dangerous, the outcomes are just systematically brutal, and this really is a bill that tries to punish people for being poor. >> you did tweet that your house democrats have filed 17 amendments. did those amendments do a
