ladies and gentlemen, please welcome governor of florida, ron desantis, first lady of florida, casey desantis and madison and mason. desantis. good afternoon, everyone. my name is john bush and i have the honor of being the executive director of the ronald reagan presidential foundation. and as can. you know, it truly has been an honor to be associated with this remarkable place named for such a remarkable man. by my count, this will be my 250th time up on this stage to introduce one of our nation's finest. it is no secret to a few people here that it will also be my last introduction as executive director of the library. no, but as fate would have it, because of who our special guest is this morning, it could also probably be one of my most consequential and productions. but first. as always, in honor of our men and women in uniform who defend our freedom around the world, if you would, please stand and join me for the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands. one nation under god, indivisible and l

as you have led in florida.ow, i've shared with you before. i would have moms tell me, i just wish ronda sanchez was my governor because my school has been closed for 18 months. so when you were going through covid, right? and our moms were standing out on the side of the road asking you unmask our children, we had signs made. what were you thinking? were you surprised at what was happening in the country? and i know there were some hard decisions to make honestly looking back. gov. desantis: honestly, looking back, i'm surprised that there wasn't more protests because i think what happened, there was a massive hysteria when a guy like me was out saying, you know, we got to have businesses functioning and schools. i was pilloried. i mean, i was attacked, we were being accused of wanting everybody to die and all this stuff. and so when the moms were stepping out, anybody that was stepping out at that time, you were really doing that kind of at your peril, you were cutting totally against the grain. and so i appre

florida works as a model and photo shoots responses. at the same time, she has a role model for inclusion and diversity. if it wasn't for these collaborations, i couldn't do what i'm doing because i can't afford it. practically all the material i have is sponsored and i tried to help them in my own way, was by letting them use my image and doing photo sessions. and those concerning the photo. and she's very brave to do many. i realize that photography helps me a lot, but it will do you like it? because initially i didn't like it, it scared me and i was very ashamed for my body. but it made me see that there are many types of beauty and i feel pretty and the photos the photos are always well received. and there are many people who write to me. so they tell me they'd like to do it to whatever embarrass or they tell me it's helping us to see it. it's better to be visible rather than stay hidden at home with the attendance across a committee. i think i have a place in the society and emission and i think it's a very nice purpose to be able

they could look into florida. i wince, they come down to southwest florida. excited to go back to iowa because they're proud of what the governor has done. >> tell us what you're doing. i didn't mean to interrupt you. i couldn't miss an opportunity to brag. >> sometimes apocalyptic is and so super excited to talk to somebody older than five. >> this is a conversation we need to be having about the proper role of government. what is government doing? how much money have we spent, trillions of dollars and what is a return on investment? how are we helping the people in the? let's look at a philosophical different approach to government. government. let's change the structure, let's be the subtleties and communicative between all of good people doing gods were, retirees, let's harness at horsepower may connection and get the heck out of the way. that's what i think government -- [applause] >> i want to get back to mamas for desantis and how they, but we did the same thing. i appreciate that and appreciate how you started with hope and you've taken that and suppl

we did that in florida. we won 60-40 in florida.did unite the republicans and our party is diverse. not everyone lights up on every issue. 80-20 you agree with me, you're an 80% friend, not a 20% enemy. i want those folks to be there. different people in congress have different districts. that's fine, but we all have to unite because the far left in this country understand that it's not good for iowa and not good for the united states. it's not about you as an individual, it's about the future of the country. i view myself as a vehicle to be able to reverse american decline and get the country back on the right track. but it's not about me or people bowing down to me or anything like that. so we all should be republicans united behind a lot of great republicans. in kim reynolds is one of the top. >> you understand what it is, is there a simple definition, what is your definition. >> it's an attack on merit and achievement and wants to advance identity politics over individual initiative and hard work. ultimately, it's an attack on t

the remaining 2 events back home florida meets up with carmen. and let's see for another photo shoot. this time the concept is promoting, told her in so in the acceptance, it's almost like we're here today to do a photo session with lucille, the photographer, and carmen the makeup artist. today we have chosen at the and can to be is which is a japanese art. when the, when a ceramic object breaks the pieces that are glued back on and decorated with gold, it symbolizes rebirth. because if something breaks, it doesn't mean that it can't have a 2nd life. it can be even more beautiful through the sessions we do together because we try to make another type of beta visible. we think it's important for people to feel a little better just because someone has some kind of physical disability or an issue with their body. they can still show it, feel good and do something beautiful. but the, you know, and happiness in japanese can so be means to repair with gold. and a message that celebrates the history of each object, emphasizing the fractures. instead of

florida has kids in school. florida has a 50-year low in the crime rate. i don't want to see rioting in my neighborhood. there were a bunch of reasons why people did it. the political orientation actually turned out pretty good. >> so you are getting good ones? >> we are getting good ones. and we are converting people, too. that is i think something we need to do as a movement. you cannot just preach only to the choir. i want to get some other people who may not have voted republican in the past and get them on our team and we have done that in florida in record numbers, and i think that can be done in our country. we are up against a movement that is parroting woke ideology. their message to the american people is that men can get pregnant. really? that you should swim on the men's team for three years, switch to the women's team, and you can be the women's national champion. most people don't buy that, so i think we have an opportunity to capture a lot of voters back representing a platform of common sense and sanity. >> as president, you would be in cha

i'm going to discuss the parallels between today's florida and 1960s florida with the co-host of racheladdow's dÉjÀ vu podcast, isaac tv harrison. don't go anywhere. isaac t harrison don't go anywhere. hen we metamorphosize into our new evolved form, we carry that spirit with us. because you can take alfa romeo out of italy. but you best believe, you can't take the italy out of an alfa romeo. this is a national emergency. the president needs to know what's next. we've got one hope... a bomb. world war ii would be over. our boys would come home. it's happening, isn't it? detonators charged. 5... 4... -the atomic bomb... 3... -would be a terrible revelation... 2... -of divine power. 1... one prilosec otc each morning blocks heartburn all day and all night. prilosec otc reduces excess acid for 24 hours, blocking heartburn before it starts. one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn. >> it was the 1930s. the united states was suffering from the impacts of the great depression. decades of portland management, land over use, and drought contributed to the worst crop failures the nation had ever

so florida has a great deal of history.should also point out that florida was one of the last states, one of the last states to move forward when it comes to desegregation. so what we're seeing in florida, this is a national issue that we're dealing with, joy. this is a national problem that we're dealing with. we have the potential right now to raise a generation of children who don't know who they are, who don't know where they come from, and who do not know their history. we have to stand firm on this. i'm not just talking about black people have to stand firm. our allies have to stand firm because history is history. whether you're a jewish american, whether you're a chinese american, everyone's history is important. whether you feel comfortable or uncomfortable, it doesn't matter. you cannot tie a bow on bad american -- what happened in american history and say it was good. it wasn't. lynching wasn't good. red lining wasn't good. all the things that happened in america needs to be taught and children need to know the t

florida, we just put out anything on scene -- cnbc, florida was ranked the number one economy of all0 states, very high-growth, we had a lot of wealth coming in, anyone who wants a job can get a job, new business formation number one, we are proud of that. we have certain policies, other states had other policies, i can tell you, i grew up in florida, i never saw a california license plate in florida my entire life until i became governor. then, all of a sudden, you see california license plates and just given that florida, at that time was viewed as a very politically divided state, that 10,000-30,000 votes could make a difference, a lot of my supporters were very concerned about those california license plates. and how those people would vote. and if you think about it, and i go back to even the military, going back to coronado, you for stay. such nice natural features, great weather, all of these different things. and it had never lost population in the entire history of the state until the last few years. people are coming there from florida, why? because you have places like san

but florida epidemiologists are concerned because, well, florida is not the rest of the country, which is probably evident by now. but anyway, for starters the person at the helm of florida's department of health is dr. joseph ladapo. he's the doctor governor ron desantis appointed as florida's surgeon general in 2021, right in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic after the doctor openly questioned the effectiveness of covid vaccines. after governor desantis announce his appointment dr. ladapo announced there's nothing special about vaccines compared to any other preventive measure. it's been treated like a religion and that's just senseless. the year before that dr. ladapo joined a controversial group of doctors as they gathered outside the supreme court to tell the american public they definitely didn't need social distancing or masks to stay safe. most recently dr. ladapo was accused of personally altering data in a report about health risks for young men associated with the covid-19 vaccines. it may be good politics for desantis and his team but it's not exactly attracting the stars

when i think about florida. this is at least partially being done with an eye toward 2024 and trump as president as candidate before he obviously made immigration one of the hotly debated issues. will it be this time too, do you think? >> i think if governor desantis has anything to say about it, it absolutely will be. this is part of a pattern in terms of steps he's taken to in many cases demonize arriving communities and undocumented populations. governor desantis was the force behind the flying of recently arrived migrants to martha's vineyard. we know some of those moves are under investigation as well by local authorities there. but the economic impact i do think we have to underscore here is it is definitely about agriculture in florida, and the construction, hospitality sectors, industries where immigrants make up the vast majority of workers and we should point out, florida has a widespread labor shortage and unemployment is very low. just under 3% in earlier months this year. and so that could actually
