Charlie Crist

The utility companies are entitled to make a profit, but not exorbitant profit borne on the backs of our people and our businesses.

Ron DeSantis thinks using millions of taxpayer dollars to run a state-sponsored human trafficking scheme is a good way to spend Floridians` money. Remember that on November 8.

This is so cruel, and so unnecessary, so uncalled for, and so brazen. It shocks the conscience of any fair minded human being that the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, would treat other human beings, these Venezuelans, the way that he…

This is a humane -- an inhumane, rather, injustice that's being done to human beings. I mean, is this a way to treat our fellowmen and women? Of course not.

That's what we're supposed to stand for. Ronald Reagan used to call us the shining city on the hill.

You don't use human beings and children to try to make a political argument or a political statement.

But that`s exactly what we`re witnessing in Florida right now. And what`s really disturbing about it is that these neo-Nazis that have been demonstrating in Florida with not only Nazi flags, but Ron DeSantis flags, and he won`t denounce…

He signed a law that will have no exceptions for rape or incest, which I believe, Joy, is barbaric. It`s like medieval. I`m pro-choice. I`m running to give women a right to choose in this election.

But that’s exactly what we’re witnessing in Florida right now. And what’s really disturbing about it is that these neo-Nazis that have been demonstrating in Florida with not only Nazi flags, but Ron DeSantis flags, and he won’t denounce it.

I have already said, on the first day of the Crist administration, I will sign an executive order protecting a woman`s right to choose in all 67 counties in Florida.

He`s anti- senior, anti-women, anti-minority, anti-education. I mean, the list goes on. It`s astonishing. He`s anti-democracy.

I think what`s happening and the reality is and the truth is that Ron DeSantis is running for president. And he`s trying to cater to the hard -- the very hard right part of the Republican Party.

Frustration requires action and there's no vent for it.

I am still deeply disappointed that officials minimize the service of these brave patriots in front of this committee.

While it is absolutely vital to our national security that our fleet be large enough to counter global threats, I am concerned by increasing reports that the Navy cannot recruit and retain the workforce necessary to staff these ships and…

I was proud of the leadership shown by the President and Secretary Austin in reversing that misguided policy just over one year ago.

If we are making investments to counter Russia and China, we also need to protect our servicemembers against powerful weapon systems, including ballistic missiles.

I am concerned about the effects of climate change on our security and at our readiness.

Punitive measures that make fossil fuel production too expensive or simply prohibited gives Russia a corner on the market for natural gas.

This sets up a pipeline, the wrong kind. It's a pipeline of U.S. taxpayer dollars to communist leadership in China.

the longer we wait to take action, the more catastrophic the problem will become.

I really wanted to ask you about the former president and whether or not the Department of Justice has had an opportunity yet to look into his role in the insurrection.

You have long championed fixed price contracts with commercial industry. That is the most effective way to keep programs on track and control costs and strengthen American industry all the while ensuring our safety.

In Florida, we are the State that is most susceptible to rising sea level and climate change.
