That actually helped a lot of CEOs around the country because they could go to their board. They could say, look, we don't want to be in the next Disney. We have got to stay out of this stuff and we have got to focus on the task at hand…
We believe in teaching kids facts and how to think, but we don't believe they should have an agenda imposed on them.
I'm not -- I'm not a candidate. So we'll see if and when that changes.
Ron DeSantis clearly wants to be to the right of Donald Trump on this.
Florida shows that leadership really matters, results matter, and I think if you look at our results, they are second to none.
We cannot get distracted and we cannot afford to lose because freedom is hanging in the balance.
I said I'm not going to sit back and try to skirt issues, I'm going on offense.
I don't have time for drama. I don't have time for palace intrigue. I want to make sure that we're executing the agenda. And you know what's happened over the last four years? We don't have leaks. We don't have drama. All we do is get the…
