So, we’ll continue to do that.

You want to get in your car and you want to go to down to Buc-ees in St Augustine, it’s really none of the government’s damn business if you’re doing that, right?

I think people are right to be concerned.

I’ve called for legislation that will protect Floridians from allowing the state to turn into some type of digital prison, digital surveillance state, where somebody knows everything about what you’re doing every day of the week.

But, you also have to say, okay, how could this be misused? And how could a private company misuse the data, but also law enforcement? We know there was an officer in Florida who was using the LPR data to track like an ex-girlfriend or…

But the only way it could be dealt with is legislatively.

I think it's going to get a lot worse unless we have some protections for the people in Florida and so it's going to need to be there.

I'm all about law enforcement having tools to hold criminals accountable.

I don't want to have this become a surveillance state.

I’m all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable. I think that’s important that we do that. And no one’s been stronger on law enforcement than me.

Senator Avila is a good dude,

But the political environment’s a little bit different.

This year they’re winnable, but I think that it’s going to require some effort.

In Fiscal Year 2026-27 alone, Florida committed nearly $228 million to cancer research and innovation.

Since 2019, Florida has invested more than $1.4 billion in cancer research and treatment under my administration.

We’re the first state to reintroduce the death penalty for pedophiles.

I’m proud that I signed that into law, and I’m proud that we have very strong penalties for people that abuse children.

You need law enforcement.

I have not endorsed Cory Mills and I do not support Cory Mills.

And if he’s convicted, he is going to be in for a world of hurt.
