Ron DeSantis: “I am trying to turn Florida into what he calls, the freest state.”

And I’m not like taking any pride in that, because it’s a weighty thing, but to me as we move through those and bring justice, that makes a big difference for a lot of people out there who suffered really, really serious tragedies.

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

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.

And if there’s a certain mood in the country, that can be something that you have to combat.
