As she faces the most difficult test of her life, she will not only have my unwavering support but the support of our entire family, as well as the prayers and well wishes from Floridians across our state, casey is a true fighter, and she will never, never, never give up.

You do not have to wear those masks. I mean please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything, and we've got to stop with this COVID theater. So, if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.

I think it needs to be said because people have been lied to for two years, they talk about, ‘Oh, by letting someone have a choice to take off their mask and welcoming that choice’ — that that's somehow bullying. Bullying is locking kids out of school, which they did. Bullying is forcing kids to wear masks for eight hours a day, which they did for two years, and are only stopping now because the politics changed.

Thank you for doing that, it’s lifted her spirits, it’s made a tremendous difference.

I've, you know, had a great relationship working for -- actually was governor for two years with the Donald Trump administration, i can tell you that we got a hell of a lot more done when Donald Trump was president than now.

No, he shouldn't have apologized. I mean, you see what happens? The mob will come after people, and they're targeting Rogan because he's threatening to upset the apple cart on some of the things that they're holding dear. And with COVID, he's just bringing opposing views. He's letting people decide.

If the legislature goes down that route I think that would be very beneficial, it would strike a good balance between penalizing the politicians who flouted the law but also not doing that in a way that’s ham handed and may deprive some innocent school kid of the ability to participate in a certain program.

So, for example, this 1619 Project that the New York Times parrots, they say that the American Revolution was fought both to defend slavery, but if you look, there's literally nothing in the historical record.

With mental health, what I noticed in traveling the state and speaking with a lot of kids is that if they come forward and say that they have a mental health issue, that they feel like a victim and that there's a stigma associated with it.

We're not resting on the weekends. I mean, we get very tired by kind of chasing after, you know, the kids. But you know, they're good kids, and we're very, very blessed to have them.

And so this will give us more people to be able to do things like respond if there's disorder, like respond to disasters and all those other things. It also gives us the ability to have people who are not subject to federal requirements. So, for example, [the federal government] wouldn't be able to mobilize and deploy people who are in the State Guard, they also wouldn't be able to impose mandates on people in the State Guard. They are trying to do that with the federal guard. And so I think it will help us complete our mission and will also allow us to do in a way which is not subject to the whims of the federal government.

I think at the end of the day, you can't have a situation in which a handful of companies control so much of the political speech in this country, and they are censoring, and they are and trying to impose an orthodoxy.

I've said previously that I would boycott [the Beijing Olympics]. I mean, I think it's a mistake. I mean, China is our number-one geopolitical foe. If you look at what they're doing, they're amassing huge amounts of power. And it's not just that they're building up their military, they are, they command huge influence within the United States.

If you sent [them] to Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard, that border would be secure the next day.

Without a shred of clinical data to support this action, Biden has forced trained medical professionals to choose between treating their patients or breaking the law, this indefensible edict takes treatment out of the hands of medical professionals and will cost some Americans their lives. There are real-world implications to Biden’s medical authoritarianism – Americans’ access to treatments is now subject to the whims of a failing president.

This will facilitate the faithful enforcement of election laws and will provide Floridians with the confidence that their vote will count.

It’s way down the road. It’s not anything that I’m planning for.

On the nurse mandate and the doctor mandate, Roberts and Kavanaugh joined with the liberals to allow the nurse mandate.

When COVID was first coming, you know, we were actually engaged in it, i was telling Trump, ‘Stop the flights from China' because we didn't know what we were dealing with. But you know, I never thought in February, early March, that it would lead to locking down the country. I just didn’t. I didn't think that was on the radar.

People like Fauci panicked, they were following the data out of China, which is not trustworthy.

I had Pence and the CDC director down at Port Everglades talking about cruise ships, the second week of March, and no one was talking about shutting down the country.
