FOR EVERYONE THERE, INCLUDING
YOURSELF.
ALL RIGHT NOW TO THIS.
DEMOCRATS ARE CRITICIZING
GOVERNOR FLORIDA RON DESANTIS
FOR BEING MISSING DURING THE
COVID SPIKE.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ ON
VACATION IN THE SUNSHINE STATE
CLAIMING HIS SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM
IS POSTING OLD PICTURES WHILE
ORANGE COUNTY MAYOR JERRY
DEMINGS HAD THIS TO SAY.
>> WHERE IS RON DESANTIS NOW?
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW
THE GOVERNOR DO A PRESS BRIEFING
REGARDING COVID-19?
>> DESANTIS’ OFFICE CLEARING THE
AIR ON THE MATTER TELLING FOX
NEWS THE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN
ACCOMPANYING HIS WIFE CASEY TO
HER CANCER TREATMENTS.
LET’S BRING IN FLORIDA SENATOR
RICK SCOTT.
WELCOME SENATOR SCOTT AND HAPPY
NEW YEAR.
>> HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND ALL
THE "FOX & FRIENDS" VIEWERS.
IT’S GOING TO BE A GREAT ’22 I
BELIEVE.
KAYLEIGH: IT ABSOLUTELY WILL.
LOOK, THE CRITICISM OF GOVERNOR
DESANTIS AND WE HOLD CASEY IN
OUR PRAYERS SHE IS AN AMAZING
FIRST LADY OF FLORIDA.
I BELIEVE IT’S BECAUSE HE IS A
SUCCESSFUL GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA
WHO BY THE WAY FOLLOWS ANOTHER
SUCCESSFUL GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA
THAT WOULD BE YOU, SENATOR
SCOTT.
PUTTING THAT MATTER ASIDE AND
MOVING TO THIS MATTER OF AOC
VACATIONING IN FLORIDA.
I’M A PROUD FLORIDIAN.
BORN AND RAISED HERE.
I’M IN FLORIDA NOW NO.
PROBLEM WITH VACATIONING IN OUR
STATE.
WE WELCOME YOU.
IT’S THE CRITICISM AND HYPOCRISY
OF CRITICIZING THE STATE WHOSE
POLICIES SHE IS NOW BENEFITING
FROM, AM I RIGHT, SENATOR SCOTT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
FIRST OFF, OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO
CASEY AND WE HOPE SHE COMES
THROUGH THIS IN PERFECT HEALTH.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AOC IS A COMPLETE
HYPOCRITE.
THEY GO -- SHE DOES IT, THE
DEMOCRATS DO IT, THE LEFT MEDIA
DOES IT, THEY WATCH JOE BIDEN GO
BUY ICE CREAM EVERY DAY BUT THEN
IF -- YOU KNOW THEY ATTACK EVERY
REPUBLICANS EVERY MOMENT THEY
CAN.
SO, AND AOC WANTS TO SHUT DOWN
NEW YORK AND WANTS TO COME DOWN
HERE.
MAYBE SHE IS DOING A FACT
FINDING MISSION TO SEE WHAT
FREEDOM IS LIKE.
DOWN HERE, WE WANT PEOPLE TO GET
OUT AND LEAD THEIR LIVES.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO MAKE GOOD
DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR HEALTH.
WE WANT OUR BUSINESSES TO
PROSPER.
IN NEW YORK, THEY BELIEVE A LOT
OF THESE BLUE STATES THEY
BELIEVE THEY KNOW BETTER AND
THEY ARE GOING TO TELL YOU HOW
TO LEAD THEIR LIFE.
THEY ARE COMPLETE HYPOCRITES AND
IT MAKES YOU MAD.
JOEY: YOU KNOW, SENATOR, JOE
BIDEN JUST SAID THAT THERE ISN’T
A FEDERAL SOLUTION.
HE SAID THE GOVERNOR IS GOING TO
HAVE TO STEP UP AND SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM, I GUESS, FOR THEIR OWN
STATE.
IT SEEMS GOVERNOR DESANTIS HAS
DONE JUST THAT MOST OF THE
CRITICISM ISN’T REALLY COMING
FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
HAS YOUR GOVERNOR DONE WHAT IS
NEEDED TO SECURE HIS STATE AND
KEEP EVERYONE FREE DURING THIS
PANDEMIC?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE IS I
LIVE IN A STATE THAT WE BELIEVE
THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO
MAKE GOOD CHOICES.
MY PARENTS DIDN’T HAVE MUCH OF A
FORMAL EDUCATION BUT THEY MADE
GOOD CHOICES.
OUR GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
IS TO GIVE US GOOD INFORMATION.
GET OUT OF THE WAY.
LET US MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES.
SO IF JOE BIDEN BELIEVES THERE
IS NO FEDERAL SOLUTION, THEN WHY
DOES HE HAVE THIS VACCINE
MANDATE THAT’S CAUSING PEOPLE IN
FLORIDA AND OTHER STATES TO GET
FIRED?
I MEAN, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND
WANTS PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR JOB?
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THAT THIS
VACCINE MANDATE THAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS PUT OUT IS
DOING.
THE FEDERAL INFORMATION, FAUCI
SAYS SOMETHING.
THE CDC SAYS SOMETHING.
BIDEN SAYS SOMETHING.
THEIR INFORMATION IS COMPLETELY
INCONSISTENT AND NOT HELPFUL.
TODD: ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT
TO ME OVER THE EVENTS OF THE
LAST 24 HOURS, SPECIFICALLY
INVOLVING THE AFOREMENTIONED AOC
IS THE FACT THAT IN 2021, I
THINK WHAT WE SAW, SENATOR
SCOTT, WAS THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT,
THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST REALLY
NOT EVEN HIDING THEIR HITCH IS I
ANYMORE.
WE SAW THE PICTURE ALREADY MANY
TIMES TODAY OF AOC AND HER GUY
EATING, DRINKING MASKLESS THERE
IN MIAMI IN FLORIDA.
A PLACE SHE HAS CRITICIZED
OFTEN.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS.
BUT WON’T THAT ABSOLUTELY
DESTROY ANY SLIM HOPE THAT
DEMOCRATS HAVE OF EVEN THINKING
OF HOLDING THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE IN 2022?
BECAUSE OF I HAVE TO THINK AT
SOME POINT THAT OVERALL
HYPOCRISY JUST HITS THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYE AND
THEY SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
EVEN THOUGH I WAS A DEMOCRAT OR
AM A DEMOCRAT, I CAN’T VOTE FOR
THAT IN 2022.
WHAT SAY YOU?
>> WELL, I AGREE.
FIRST HYPOCRITES NEWSOM GOING TO
FRENCH LAUNDRY, PELOSI GOING TO
THE HAIRDRESSER.
JUST NAME IT, NAME IT, NAME IT
HERE IS WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE
GOING TO LOSE.
FIRST OFF THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE
BECAUSE THEY’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THIS ONE BELIEVABLE INFLATION
HURTING OUR POOREST FAMILIES
NUMBER ONE.
COUNTRY FED UP WITH THE DEBACLE
IN AFGHANISTAN.
STILL AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE IN
AFGHANISTAN BECAUSE JOE BIDEN
WON’T DO MISS JOB AND GET
AMERICAN CITIZENS OUT.
THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THAT
THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THIS
DEFUNDING THE POLICE THAT THE
DEMOCRATS BELIEVE.
IN WHAT AMERICANS WANT?
THEY WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN
THEIR OWN KIDS’ EDUCATION.
THEY DON’T WANT CRITICAL RACE
THEORY.
SO THOSE ARE ALL THE REASONS WHY
WE ARE GOING TO GET THE HOUSE,
WE ARE GOING TO GET THE SENATE
IN ’22 AND PRESIDENCY IN ’24.
KAYLEIGH: SENATOR SCOTT, WE ARE
WRAPPING UP HERE, I JUST WANT TO
SAY LONG BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY STARTED TO BECOME REALLY
POPULAR AMONG LATINO VOTERS, YOU
YOURSELF WERE.
YOU REALLY BLAZED THE TRAIL
THERE.
YOU MUST BE VERY ENCOURAGED TO
SEE IN THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
IT’S NOW A TIE ON THE GENERIC
BALLOT FOR LATINO VOTERS FOR
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.
WELL DONE THERE, SENATOR SCOTT I
AGREE WITH YOU, BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
