getting things done, how did you blow through $150 million in your campaign. here is the no, now i m going to say it s instructive about what nikki haley i think i have the floor shall governor desantis that s important as governer desantis, governor haley has the floor. what is more important? it s governor haley s time. go ahead. i think i hit a nerve. what i will tell you is, look, if you can t manage a campaign, it s been a revolving door of political people in and out of his campaign. you heard of campaign people going to blows with each other because they can t all agree. $150 million and he spent more on private planes than commercials. i flew commercial. i stayed in residence inns. we saved our money. we spent it right because you have to understand it s not your money. it s other people s money and you have to know how to handle it. if he can t handle the financial parts of a campaign, how is he
governor haley, your response? government with intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people was never meant to be all things all people. we don t these government politicizing everything. again, desantis lies dot-com because i have never said anything related to the transgender stuff he says. i always fought to protect kids, said that boys need to go in boys bathrooms, girls in girls bathrooms, we shouldn t have gender transitions before the age of 18 like tattoos, we shouldn t have gender transformation or puberty blockers. it s willing interesting that ron talks about disney because disney has been woke for a long time. they were against the immigration situation that trump was doing. they were against the paris climate agreement when i did it, pro-life bill in georgia. ron didn t have any problem with that. owe gave them the largest
without riern. when you look at the strikes happening in iraq and syria, that is baugh iran. they re pulling the puppet strings. what we need to do is the idea that we ve had over 130 strikes on our men and women in iraq and syria is unconscionable. we re supposed to have their backs. and biden has been slow. he has been hiding in a corner, and he hasn t dealt with it. we need to go and take out every bit of the production that we have that s allowing them to do those strikes. it s hugely important that we do that. and you can t do that if you have a secretary of defense that is in icu and the president doesn t even know about it. what bothers me how does biden not talk to his secretary of defense every single day knowing that we have a war in europe, a war in the middle east, that we have our american military with strikes going on, and we ve got brain injuries. my husband is deployed right now as a military spouse, the idea that the secretary of defense would not even be in contact w
governor desantis mentioned the gas tax, you do want to eliminate the federal gas tax, and that tax generated approximately $40 billion in 2022 and helps pay for road construction and repair. so how would you fix america s roads and bridges if you take that money away? well, first of all, bless his heart, desantis lies.com, we have never raised a tax. you tried to. i ve never raised a tax at all. you tried. you re on individual you. governor desantis, she has the floor. so i can tell you that we killed the gas tax multiple times. but what we said if you want to raise the gas tax, you have to reduce the income tax by five times that amount. they didn t want to do it. we ve killed taxes every step of the way. but if he is going to talk about his economy, i think what we should say is why does florida have the highest property insurance in the country? why is it that it is named the american hot spot for inflation? why is it that his state is now known to have the highest cost
and i ve talked to folks who have overbearing federal agencies. you have farmers who have the epa coming on their farmland because there is maybe a puddle there. waters of the united states. give me a break. so we re going to reduce the size of government, but we re also going to reduce the scope of government. and in florida, i ve actually delivered on this. florida has the lowest percentage of state government workers per capita in the country, and the cost of our state government employees is the lowest in the country. no wonder why we re paying down debt while we re cutting tax for people. that s the way you do it. governor desantis, 15 second point of clarification. the question was whether or not working families would pay the same amount as billionaires. they would pay less than what they re paying now. the way i view it is okay. you exempt people so, you would pay no tax for working class people. it would only be as you get above. i think the first, 40, 50 grand, that s jus
