SPEAK WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA
IS THE STATE AND A PLACE WHERE
WOKE GOES TO DIE.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THE
STATE...
[APPLAUSE]
...
WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THE
STATE DESCENT AND A WOKE
DUMPSTER FIRE.
WE WILL FOLLOW COMMON SENSE AND
WE WILL FOLLOW FACTS, AND THAT
IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> Kayleigh: THAT IS
GOVERNOR RON DeSANTIS STANDING
UP TO WOKE IDEOLOGY TAKING OVER
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
THE GOVERNOR IS OFFERING A
UNIQUE PLAN TO TACKLE THE
TEACHER SHORTAGE BY HIRING
RETIRED POLICE
OFFICERS, MILITARY VETERANS, AND
FIRST RESPONSES.
DeSANTIS MAKE THESE RETIREES A
PERFECT FIT TO COUNTER THE
IDEOLOGY HE SAYS GETS REELED
INTO TODAY’S YOUNG MINDS.
THE GOVERNOR HAD MORE TO SAY
ABOUT THIS A SHORT WHILE AGO.
>> WE BELIEVE THAT VETERANS
OFFER A LOT TO OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE WANT TO HARNESS THAT, AND WE
WANT TO HARNESS THOSE
EXPERIENCES BEING IN THOSE
MILITARY UNITS, UNDERSTANDING
HOW TO LEAD
PEOPLE, UNDERSTANDING HOW TO BE
IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.
SO, OUR VIEW IS THOSE FOLKS ARE
BRINGING IN WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE
AND KNOWLEDGE.
WE WANT THEM TO LOOK TO OUR
EDUCATION SYSTEM AS A PLACE
WHERE THEY CAN LAND AND CONTINUE
TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES.
>> Kayleigh: JOEY, THIS IS A
FANTASTIC IDEA.
THE VETERANS WITH BRAVERY AND
HEROISM, I DON’T HAVE TO TELL
YOU SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY.
THAT IS WHAT I WANT TEACHING MY
KIDS, I LOVE THIS.
>> Joey: REALLY THE GENIE IS
HERE IS HOW DO YOU CIRCUMVENT
THE INDOCTRINATION OF
UNIVERSITIES?
GOTTEN A FOUR YEAR DEGREE BUT
SPENT 20 YEARS DOING REAL-WORLD
THINGS, NOT ACADEMIC THINGS.
WHICH IS WHY SOMETIMES SMALL
TOWNS WILL HIRE VETERANS AND PUT
THEM ON THE POLICE FORCE.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO SET
THEM UP FOR SUCCESS.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A VETERAN AND
TEACH THEM TO BE A POLICE
OFFICER APPEAR THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEEKING THE
ENEMY AND THEN TO PROTECT THE
ENEMY WHICH IS WHAT POLICE
OFFICERS HAVE TO DO.
THE BAD GUYS HAVE TO PROTECT
THEM AS THEY BRING THEM INTO
JAIL.
ONE THING I WILL SAY, THE HOPE
OF THAT PLAN IS TO BRING THESE
VETERANS, FIRST RESPONDER WITH A
4-DEGREE AND TEACH THEM TO BE A
TEACHER BUT NOT TEACH THEM TO BE
RADICAL LEFT IDEOLOGUE
INDOCTRINATING CHILDREN.
HERE
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
TEACHING.
THE IDEA IS ALREADY HEAVY CAREER
IN PUBLIC SERVICE DOING
SOMETHING HONORABLE, THEY ARE
NOT BRINGING IN AN ACADEMIC IDEA
IS TO TEACH HIM TO HATE THESE
COUNTRIES.
AS LONG AS THE SECOND PART OF
THAT IS TEACHING THEM TO BE
TEACHERS, WHICH MEANS THE
PATIENCE OF JOE, I THINK THEY
WILL BE PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL
AND I LOVE THE IDEA.
>> Kayleigh: DR. SAPHIER, THE
SCHOOLS HAVE OBLIGATION TO TEACH
HISTORY AND NOT ALL AMERICAN
HISTORY IS GOOD.
IN OUR PAST, BUT THIS IDEA THERE
SHOULD BE RESPECT FOR COMMON
VALUE, OUR FLAG, ANTHEM,
PLEDGE, I THINK SOMEONE WHO
THOUGHT EACH OTHER AND BLED FOR
THAT FLAG IS OFFERING RICH
PERSPECTIVE AND ANY CHILD CAN
LEARN FROM.
>> Nicole: I AGREE WITH
DeSANTIS AND I DON’T THINK
THEY SHOULD MAKE A CHILD FEEL
GUILTY BEFORE THEY ARE OR EVEN
THEIR PARENTS WERE BORN.
AND IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE,
YET TIMES FELT NERVOUS TO
EXPRESS CERTAIN OPINIONS DURING
GROUP DISCUSSIONS.
HE FELT HIS TEACHER WOULD BE
UPSET WITH HIM AND GREAT HIM
UNFAIRLY.
MY PROBLEM IS, I THINK IDEOLOGY
SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL,
RIGHT, LEFT, I DON’T THINK
ANYTHING SHOULD BE SENT TO HER
THE LIGHT AND ANSWER TO.
BUT OBJECTIVE STANDPOINT AND
WHAT WE SEE IS A LOT OF
PROFESSORS INSERTING THEIR
OPINIONS AND MAKING THE
CONVERSATION MORE SUBJECT.
THAT IS NOT THE ROLE OF AN
EDUCATOR.
I LOVE THE SENSE THAT PEOPLE
WITH REAL-WORLD EXPANSE COME IN
TO HELP TEACHER YOUTH.
AS A MOTHER MYSELF, I HAVE
CONCERNS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE QUALIFIED PEOPLE
TEACHING THE FUNDAMENTALS TO
YOUR CHILDREN MATH, SCIENCE, SO
FORTH.
TO JOEY’S POINT AS LONG AS THEY
ARE COMING IN AND BEING PROPERLY
TRAINED HOW TO TEACH OUR
CHILDREN, I AM OKAY WITH IT AND
IT IS A GREAT THING.
JUST LIKE THE DOCTOR SHORTAGE,
THE ANSWER IS TO FIND LESSER
QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO FILL THAT
GAP.
TO MAKE SURE REPLACING DOCTORS
WITH NURSES, BUT WHAT YOU NEED
TO DO IS INCENTIVIZE THE
TEACHERS WE ALREADY HAVE IN ANY
WHEN YOU WANT TO BRING INTO
TEACH, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THEY HAVE THE PROPER TRAINING
AND SUPPORT AND WELL COMPENSATED
FOR IT.
>> Kayleigh: EMILY COME IF YOU
ARE A VETERAN YOU NEED A FIVE
YEAR CERTIFICATE IF YOU HAVEN’T
GOTTEN YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
BACHELOR’S DEGREE.
THERE ARE CERTAIN QUALIFICATIONS
AHEAD OF THE TEACHERS UNION MADE
BY THIS PLAN.
THE REASON SAYS NOW SOMEONE WITH
A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION CAN PASS
THE TEST AND EASILY GET A
FIVE-YEAR, TEMPORARY
CERTIFICATE.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
BUT THAT IS THE TEACHERS UNION
PERSPECTIVE.
>> Emily: I’M SURE SHE IS
DISMAYED BECAUSE THIS BLOWS OPEN
THAT COMFORTABLE, COMPLACENCY
THAT THEY GOT TO ENJOY.
THEY MEANING THE TEACHERS
UNIONS, ACTIVISTS, AND MEMBERS.
WHAT I FIND IS HUBRIS, THAT
EXEMPLIFIED IN HER STATEMENT
WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY TOTALLY
PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERVED THIS
COUNTRY AND SOMEHOW IMPARTING
THAT THESE GUYS HAVE GONE
THROUGH TOTALLY BUREAUCRATIC
QUALIFICATIONS, AND MORE
QUALIFIED THAN THESE PEOPLE.
I LOVE THIS PLANT SO MUCH FOR
TWO REASONS.
NUMBER ONE, I CAN’T THINK OF
BETTER EDUCATORS AND INSPIRATION
IN LEADERS THAN THOSE WHO HAVE
SERVED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
MILITARY AND THE LIKE.
IT CIRCUMNAVIGATE THOSE TEACHERS
THAT HAVE BEEN ENTRENCHED AND
GROWN UP IN THAT PETRI DISH.
IT AMPLIFIES AND LIFTS UP THOSE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE SERVED AND BLED
FOR THE COUNTRY.
WHY SHOULD WE PRIORITIZE THEM TO
INTEGRATE BACK INTO SOCIETY.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE AND I AM
SURE YOU DO TOO, OH, I COULD BE
A TEACHER BECAUSE I DIDN’T
HAVE THAT CERTIFICATE BUT I WAS
HERE.
AMAZING, THAT IS EXACTLY WHO I
WOULD WANT AROUND THE KIDS BUT
THEY ARE STOPPED FROM DOING SO
BECAUSE OF DIFFICULT TO
NAVIGATE.
I APPRECIATE THE POINT ABOUT
QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE
NECESSARY, BUT IT STILL IS NOT
IN THAT DROWNING FORM THAT MAKES
A LOT OF PEOPLE UNABLE TO
PARTICIPATE THAT YOU WANT
LEAVING YOUR CHILDREN.
>> Kayleigh: HARRIS?
>> Joey: ON HER POINT, I’M
SURE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
BUT A LOT OF MILITARY SPOUSES
HAVE THE EDUCATION TO BE A
TEACHER BUT BECAUSE THEY MOVED
TO A DIFFERENT STATE AND CAN’T
KEEP UP WITH THE CERTIFICATION
PROCESS.
AND I HOPE THE DOOR IS BLOWN
OPEN FOR THEM BECAUSE IT MAKES
NO SENSE AND DISQUALIFIES A LOT
OF PEOPLE.
>> Harris: WE MIGHT FIND MORE
CANDIDATES FOR THE MILITARY
VETERANS.
CERTAIN MUNICIPALITIES AND
DEFUND THE POLICE FORCES.
WE DO KNOW 19% OF THOSE SERVING
AS POLICE OFFICERS FORMERLY
SERVED IN THE MILITARY.
THAT IS A BIG CHUNK OF OUR FORCE
HERE AND WHERE SOME OF THEM HAVE
COME OUT, YOU MAY FIND SOME OF
THEM ARE MORE -- AND THEY ARE
USED TO TRAINING PEER THAT IS
