That`s just a totally false, partisan narrative. To try to say that doing reporting the way many other states do it and which is the most accurate is some type of problem, when it`s been something that`s been going on for a long time, is…

If you're trying to restrict people, impose mandates, if you are trying to lock people down, I am standing in your way and I'm standing for the people of Florida.

Well, Joy, it's great to be back with you, and I tell you what, every day it seems like we take it to a new level.

We would all be better served if we would continue to leave the health, safety and well-being of our children into the hands of the people who protect them and look after them every day.

The health, safety and well-being of the people that the governor and the people of the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, state and local official, the health and safety of the well-being of the people that we represent is…

We have allowed this to become yet another pointless political battle. The numbers in Florida as the whole nation knows are out of control, and what we need to do is practice whatever safety measures we have to get this virus under…

But I think that's something we've seen before, Joy, whenever the going gets tough, whenever the battle gets a bit harder, it appears Marco Rubio wants to be in anyplace other than here in Florida dealing with people like the Proud Boys…

You know, he said he was going to end COVID. He hasn’t done that. We are the first state to start the treatment centers for monoclonal antibodies. Having great success with that. That should have been a bigger plan, bigger part of this…

Governor Ron DeSantis did not have the authority to impose a ban on mask mandates, in the schools.

We are the first state to start the treatment centers for monoclonal antibodies. Having great success with that. That should have been a bigger plan, bigger part of this whole response throughout the country from the beginning.

We need to lead with science and not politics. We’ve seen one time after the other where our politicians have made this -- the health and safety of Floridians, the health, safety, and well-being of our children -- a political issue.
