TRANSCRIPT:

PERINO – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis… Your book is doing well, welcome! This is a great achievement. It’s called “The Courage to Be Free.” You are most welcomed today.

GOVERNOR DESANTIS – Thank you. It’s great to be here, guys.

PERINO

BIDEN – I was happy to see so much support for social security reform from regular Republicans. They all stood. They won’t forget because it was all recorded on video.

PERINO: I would like to know what you as the governor of Florida could do about it. A bipartisan group from Capitol Hill is studying the possibility that Social Security could be gradually raised to 70 years old.

GOVERNOR DESANTIS (Remarks): Biden was in Congress and he took a lot of positions that would have reduced social security benefits for current beneficiaries. He also wanted to freeze Social Security benefits. As we all know, inflation can cause seniors to lose ground. You see, I have seniors more than any other percent. Social security is not something we’re going to mess with like Republicans. This is quite obvious, I believe. Dana, look back over the past five- to six years and you’ll notice an unprecedented amount discretionary spending. It is obvious that the budget has a lot of spending. Our budget woes were once blamed on Medicare and Social Security. They have actually printed trillions upon trillions in dollars. This has really contributed to the rise in inflation. Also, there are discretionary spending agencies that are hostile toward the rights and are used to arm sections of society that do not agree with the elite ruling classes.

HEMMER: Governor. Congratulations! It is doing well. You probably know this. It’s your first win as Governor 2018. It was close. Andrew Gillum was the winner. It was described by many as the most significant in Florida history. [That’s] While you may say a lot, you also acknowledge Donald Trump’s support during his campaign. Since then, he has spoken on the subject in many venues and in various ways. What importance do you believe a Trump endorsement in American Republican politics will have in 2023?

GOVERNOR DESANTIS I am referring to the fact I believe that our voters make their own decisions. They also consider endorsements. He was the big enchilada during his presidency. Your voters want to see and hear you. They are aware of this responsibility. But, I wasn’t able to write about that in my book on the consequential. There was a big difference between me 2018 versus my Democratic opponent 2018. It couldn’t have been any more different. It would have been significant regardless of what. It made a big difference in the way I managed Florida. An Illinois governor would have distinguished himself if he had followed the California model. We have seen people flee these states because of the models. We wouldn’t be here if this was how these states handled it. It was done right. Bill, we’re thriving. We have the highest net migration and record budget surplus. Actually, our full employment rate is only half the national average. It all boils down to this election. Florida is now in the same boat with Republicans. When I was elected, it was a close race of one point between the president and the governor. We were able to win by more that 1.5 million votes, and sweep Hispanics by 60 percent. We were able to win Miami Dade County twice. Florida is no longer considered to be a swing country. This infrastructure has been created for Republicans. This is one state where we have a strong advantage.

PERINO Your achievements are numerous. Are you a candidate for governor? Would you like to make Florida’s model national?

GOVERNOR DESANTIS: I want to highlight a few things from the book. The first is that many of our actions were in direct opposition to elite opinion. The Left and corporate media would attack. We were dealing with issues that resonated across all parties. These included parents rights in education and fighting woke ideology, wake indoctrination, and standing up to law & order. This is how I won many single mothers’ votes in my election. The country is strongly anti-woke. This is why Florida stories are so beloved, I think. Our leadership style was very particular. I did not participate in polls about issues during my time as governor. I was determined to be a leader and bring about results. I knew people would support me if the results were positive. Many elected officials are influenced by the polls, when their job it is to get people on board and keep them there. We made sure that we had people who believed in the mission and could carry it out. We got rid all those who tried to stop the mission from happening or leak. For the past four year, there has not been a single leak within my administration. You can have the most vision, but if your staff lacks the resources to execute and carry it out, you won’t be able to achieve the same results. We had that. Everyone could then go to the bank to have their next step done quickly. The results would follow.

HEMMER: You were supported by the state House. Many people believe that once you have these votes, you can pass many items. This is why I expect there to be news from Tallahassee in the coming days and weeks. Dana was right. Your last chapter is six and a half pages in length. It’s the shortest chapter, according to me. The book’s title is Make America Florida. What do you think this looks like? What do you see in your timeline?

GOVERNOR DEANIS – We passed this bill because —

*CROSSTALK*

GOVERNOR DESANTIS (Yes that’s correct, it was a title because as we approach 2020, flags, hats and shirts are seen in Florida and other States. It was all my fault. It was organic. People were saying, “hey, the country, you’re right, it has problems.” It’s something we have seen over the last two years. But Florida can do it right. It is incredible that Florida can accomplish this. Many other Republican states are capable of doing this right — but the Biden system is failing America, failing states such as Illinois and California. What is the deal about Florida? We discussed some of these issues. It has been an example to other states, and I believe it could be national. This is what we will be working on over the next few months. Although we didn’t always have favorable legislation, our first year in office saw a small Senate Minority, which allowed us to accomplish a lot. The 2022 election has given us supermajorities in the legislature. We are going to be here for three months, and I believe that we can deliver more than we have delivered. We have delivered more than anyone. I think that this is something that will be an asset to you if your election wins. It was a good thing I did. Many people had dismissed me during COVID, when the course was being charted. It gives you the opportunity to make it happen. This is what I am focusing on. After we have achieved success, we will then look at what that would mean for the national.

HEMMER: Well, sounds like late summer. You are right?

GOVERNOR DESANTIS I know you could invite me to your show to discuss some legislation I will sign in the coming months. Let us know if this interests you. Please let us know. We’d love to do it.

PERINO – I believe the whole country will be intrigued and that they’re also currently reading your book. Governor, we are grateful that you were here today.

GOVERNOR DESANTIS – We are grateful.
