Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has been very active in the conversation surrounding securing our southern border, and recently, the State of Florida has seen an influx in fentanyl plaguing communities. Additionally, the State of Florida is fighting back against the soft on crime states that are leading to a decrease in law enforcement morale and in turn causing an increase in crime all throughout the country. 

One thing Moody and Governor DeSantis have created is the Be A Florida Hero program. Florida is recognizing and valuing the work our heroes in law enforcement do, and recruiting and incentivizing officers to move to Florida, a state that appreciates them.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, our two Sean Hannity's Show to Frey. It's

(00:02):
eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn, if you want
to be a part of the program, as we come
to you from Dallas, Texas today, the site of where
Sepack has taken place. We used to go every year.
We missed last year, so I wasn't going to miss
this year anyway. So we'll be speaking and addressing the
crowd a little bit later on today and looking forward

(00:22):
to that. We'll be doing Hannity right here from Dallas tonight.
I hope you'll join us also. All Right, so we've
had all these stories about gender identity, age appropriateness, what
do you teach kids, etc. In school districts. Chris Rufo
works for the Manhattan Institute and he was able to

(00:46):
obtain and then we actually went and checked it out. First.
I didn't even believe it when I heard about it,
and I'm like, no way this could be true. But
he obtains these documents revealing that the San Diego public
schools are doubling down this far left gender theory. And
this is for kids through from first through twelfth grade.

(01:07):
So you don't know who's going to be taught what
went and where, and when we reached out to them
for comment, they wouldn't get back to us. When Chris
Rupo reached out to them, they wouldn't get back to him. Now,
in the materials that have been distributed by this district
in San Diego, they have, for example, you know, it's
titled Facilitator Training Workshops for LBGTQ Youth and Allies, and

(01:35):
they make claims, for example, that male and female are
just a social construct, and that a quote excludes and
oppresses trans non binary intersects and gender nonconforming people. And
I never thought I'd say we would have congress people,
elected officials asking how do you define a woman? Or

(01:58):
asking can a man have a child? But these are
the questions we're out asking Now. It's a whole new
level because it's not enough that you have these adults
talking about this insanity. You know, there are these other
creatures and children's lives. I know it's outdated in my thinking,
but they're called mothers and fathers that probably in all

(02:21):
likelihood have values that they would like to instill in
their children. And I'm betting that a lot of those
quote parents that they don't want involved in anything education wise,
or you might be investigated as a domestic terrorist. They
probably would take issues with this curriculum. For example. Then
they put out potential questions that students may ask, is

(02:45):
it okay to masturbate? What does semen taste like? How
do gay people have sex? Now you might think I'm
making all this up? I am not anyway, Chris Rufo
with the Manhattan Institute is with us. Am I have
I gotten that pretty much right? You've gotten it exactly right.
And it's completely shocking, and it's even more shocking that

(03:07):
they would circulate these documents openly on their website. But
what it all comes down to, Sean, is that they're
taking the principles of radical gender theory from university classrooms.
These are ideas that we're already circulating in the IVY
leagues ten twenty thirty years ago, but now they're getting
serious and they're trying to inject it into the case

(03:28):
through twelve school system. And the goal was pretty simple.
They're trying to get these ideas when kids are most impressionable.
They're trying to promote synthetic sexual identities like non binary
pand sexual gender queer to get kids bought into this
ideology and then turn them into left wing gender It's

(03:50):
the case of San Diego, also critical race theory activists,
and that's the program. And you see these folks that
are just taking it down to the level of even
early elementary school. And I think the problem is that
most parents just have no idea that this is happening.
These districts are trying to conceal it in many cases,

(04:11):
and it has to be exposed, it has to be discussed,
and ultimately parents have to decide what's best for their kids.
As I said, I never really thought I'd be asking
questions or watching a congressional hearing and having questions such
as how would you define a woman? And is it possible?
Do you believe that men can have babies? But those

(04:34):
are recent questions. You know, it takes on a whole
other meaning when we're talking about children, impressionable children, a
captive audience, if you will, in a classroom. Now we
could start with the fundamentals. We spend more per capita
on education per student than any other country in the
industrialized world with the worst results. And consider this whole

(04:57):
fashioned if you might. But you know, I'm just a
firm believer in the fundamentals in life. And for example,
you want to be a good basketball player, you got
to learn how to dribble. You got to be able
to go right, you got to be able to go left.
You got to be able to hit your layups first,
and you gotta be able to hit your short jumpers,
and then you might want to go for the three
pointers at the top of the key or whatever it
happens to be. So I would prefer that we get

(05:21):
our kids proficient in reading, writing, maths, science, computers, etc.
So that when they get out of school one day,
that they're actually able to compete in a world marketplace.
But I am open minded, Chris, Now, I would understand
they might be parents that are uncomfortable talking about issues

(05:42):
involving sexuality with their children. They probably are parents out
there there me, I have no problem. I just lay
it all out on the line and I don't care,
and I explain my value system. And then ultimately kids
become adults and they make their own choices in life.
But I give them, you know, straight talk, no hesitation,

(06:02):
no fear at all whatsoever. But there are parents that
might be uncomfortable with that. Now, after they learn to
read write do math science computers during the regular school day.
If these schools feel that this is that important, they
can put out a curriculum, give it to parents. The
parents can examine the curriculum, and then they can opt

(06:25):
into any after school program that teaches all of this stuff,
some of this stuff whatever they want to teach them.
But as long as the parents are aware and the
children are want to go to the class after school,
let them do it. Then what's wrong with that idea.

(06:46):
There's nothing wrong with that idea. In fact, that's exactly
how it should happen. It should be opt in, it
should be totally transparent, and it should ultimately empower parents
to have the information and decision making capacity for their kids.
But unfortunately, in California it's actually exactly the opposite. These
are state mandated sexual education courses. Parents don't get a

(07:09):
lot of options and freedom. They're by default opted into
this system. And then in San Diego, as in many
other school districts, including Los Angeles, which is the second
largest district in the country, teachers are now told by
official district policy that they can facilitate the gender and
sexual transition of their students. So they can talk to

(07:30):
students about being transgender or other identities, facilitate that process,
and that they have to keep it secret from parents.
It's called confident they call it confidentiality, but it's a
very strange. Hang on a second. So you're saying that
if an eleven year old kid wants to be sexually active,
that they can go to the what school, nursed school, doctor,

(07:52):
whoever happens to be there, and say, I'm going to
be sexually active, but I don't want to tell my parents.
Can you help me obtain birth control? And they can
circumvent the parents wishes and just give the kid whatever
the kid is asking for. That's right. It starts the
kind of total system of starts at twelve years old
in California. But I'm seeing something actually even I think

(08:14):
more concerning. In some ways, a teacher can can help
facilitated child's gender transition, so giving the child a new
set of pronouns, giving the child a masculine name, if
the child that's going from female to male, or vice versa.
So you can have a kid that has different pronouns,
a different name where it's different quotes. At school, this

(08:35):
transition is supported, affirmed and facilitated but then kept totally
secret from parents, so that the child and effect by
official policy in a district like San Diego Unified, can
be living a completely separate sexual identity at school without
parents having any idea that's happening. I think this is

(08:56):
completely Where is this? Where is this happening? And see
this in any of the materials about San Diego. Do
you know places where that's happening. This is happening now
in most of the big city school district so in
Los Angeles, in Portland, Oregon, in San Diego, California, and others.
They're releasing official policy passed by the school board. You

(09:19):
can google this stuff, look for transgender confidentiality or gender
identity confidentiality. And for any parents that's listening and thinking, well,
maybe I'm safe because I'm in a red state or
I'm in a suburban district, you probably would be surprised.
And I'd encourage you to actually go and look up
your school's policy because they have nice words like well,

(09:40):
confidentiality sounds good, but the problem is that it's confidentiality
between the adult school administrator and the minor child to
to keep it confidential from that child's parents, and so
you have to be very careful, very aware. You have
to watch this stuff like a hawk. And I think parents,
they really truly understood that this is the system in

(10:02):
which many many kids are living. Would would would really
just revolt against it because it's such a base. Parents
show up at the school. If they show up Chris
at the school board meeting, you know what's going to
happen to the parents. The parents are going to be investigated.
If they got a little loud, they might be investigated
as domestic terrorists. That's that's right, and I think that

(10:27):
is specifically designed to protect this ideology. The Biden a illustration,
is all in on critical race theory, all in on
radical gender theory, and they're trying to intimidate those parents
who are questioning these ideologies and saying, hey, this is
not what I want in my school district, This is
not what I want it for my child. And so
you see the entire system, from the educational bureaucracies to

(10:50):
the federal bureaucracies, all the way through to the teacher
training programs, they've really gone all in on these ideologies.
And it's going to be up to parents to take
that firm stance to take that action, to go to
those school board meetings and really to take the risk,
unfortunately of getting in trouble, because these kids are worth

(11:12):
fighting for, and if we let these ideas take over
these institutions, it's going to hurt so many people and
so many kids. All Right, quick break right back more
with Chris Rufo of the Manhattan Institute on the other side.
As we continue at the bottom of the hour, we're
going to talk to law enforcement people, in particular, if
you are working in a state that doesn't support law enforcement,

(11:34):
wait until you hear what Florida is going to offer you.
All Right, we continue Chris Rufo, he's with the Manhattan Institute.
You know, things have changed dramatically, and I still have
one of my kids graduated from college. One is a
junior in college. And the worst thing that I had
to deal with is they wanted to show in science
class was al Gore's Earth and the Balance, and I said,

(11:58):
over my dead body and the science I remember that
conversation like it was yesterday. Science teacher was not particularly
pleased with my commentary or me saying and my son
better not get punished with a bad grade as a result.
Because I'll go straight to the principles, straight to the

(12:19):
school board, and that money you keep asking me for
to donate every year, that ain't coming. So guess what
other than happened. But I mean, this to me is
so invasive and so intrusive and crosses such a line.
I would never in my life ever find it appropriate
to ever discuss human sexuality issues with any child that

(12:44):
is not my own kid. That is not my place
to do it. It's not the school district's place to
do it. Now again, if you go back to my proposal,
which is to focus on the fundamentals reading, writing, math, science, computers, history, etc.
If you go back to that and then you let
parents see the curriculum, sign off on the curriculum and

(13:07):
it's an after class I'm sorry, after school extracurriculum, no
pun intended activity, and they can learn everything they want there.
That's a whole different ballgame, because then you have parental involvement.
You know, these creatures, these parents people, they're not potted plants.
They actually those kids wouldn't exist without them, And to

(13:28):
circumvent their values is just so grossly inappropriate and offensive
to me. I agree, and I would say this. The
context is important because this is not by accident, it's
by design for a lot of these folks, and they
write this in their academic work, they write this in
the books that they've published over the years. Parents, it's

(13:51):
especially middle class parents with a faith background and religious
religious convictions Jesus or God. If you mentioned them, God,
forget it, You'll be thrown out of school. You're done.
And but they want to eliminate that barrier. They think
that the school, the bureaucrat, the teacher, the experts, the psychologists,

(14:13):
that is run by the state, according to this ideology,
should replace the parents. It's not that they have no
respects for parents. They actually want to remove the parental
role altogether because they want to have that direct relationship
with the child, not just in academics, not just in history,
not just in kind of the ideas and philosophies, but

(14:35):
down to their most intimate sexuality and their most sutimate ideas.
Ended here because I'm out of time. If parents want
to teach this stuff to their kids, I don't have
a say in what they values they want to instill
in their kids. But don't force your values down my
kid's throat and circumvent the values I'm teaching them at home.

(14:57):
I won't. I won't intrude on your value system. You
don't intrude on mine anyway. Great research Chris Ruffo with
the Manhattan Institute. I still can't believe with discussing this
almost on a regular basis. Now, appreciate you being with
us whole parents are paying attention. By the way, when
we come back, we have the Attorney General of Florida.

(15:19):
If you work in law enforcement and you want money
to work in a state that actually supports law enforcement,
you're gonna want to join us. The next half hour,
continuing to build a foundation forward conservative victory. Victory. Now

(15:42):
back to the Sean Hannity Show. All right, twenty five
fill the top of the hour. Thanks for being with
us in Dallas today. Eight hundred nine four one, Sean,
you want to be a part of the program. Some
of the issues that Christopher Ray are your FBI director
that never lifted a finger to clean up the mess,
the use of power, the corruption as it relates to
the deep state, and of course the phony Polk's conspiracy theory,

(16:07):
Trump Russia collusion. Nor did he get to the bottom
of zero experience hunter. He pretty much hasn't gotten to
the bottom of anything, but was asked today about our
southern border. Now, remember it's just a week and a
half ago, your Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorcas was
out there saying our border is secure. Now you would

(16:27):
think your eyes were lying to you as you saw
one migrant caravan after another. Literally, we see people all
over the just crossing the border. Forget about you know,
catch and release. It's catch process. Give them a free phone,
give them preferential treatment, no COVID tests, no vaccine mandate,
and then give them free taxpayer transportation to the city

(16:51):
of their choice, except for Washington, DC, where apparently they
don't want to drop many people off. Thankfully, the great
governor of the State of Texas where we are today,
it's actually a free state. I feel a little freer today,
actually a lot freer. But anyway, so Christopher Ray said,
there's a wide array of criminal threats, drug trafficking, and

(17:12):
we're losing three hundred people a week. I felt like, say, no, shift,
no kidding, Seriously, you have to tell us that we're
losing three hundred people a week. Venton Al is getting worse.
The opioid crisis is getting worse. All of this comes
right across our southern border. And you know he said, well,
illegal immigrants crossing from one hundred and fifty countries is

(17:33):
a significant security issue. Wow, just brilliant observations on his part.
I gotta tell you here's what he's a The border
presents significant security issues. There's a wide array of criminal
threats that we encounter down at the border. You mentioned
a little bit in some of your questions, the transnational

(17:54):
criminal organizations that use diverse and complex methods to traffic
drugs that then cascades over into prison and street gangs
who distribute it. Oh okay, So now we've figured out
that we have a drug problem at our southern border. Wow.
That's really amazing when you think of all of the
border patrol agents are now overwhelmed with record high numbers

(18:19):
of illegal immigrants coming. So that leaves open the entire
rest of the border that is now really being controlled
by the cartels. But they're drug smuggling, for they're human
trafficking and for the gang activity, and pretty much there's
nobody that crosses that border without the permission of the
drug cartels they own that border Mexico is not lifting

(18:40):
a finger. We're not lifting a finger. They own it,
they know it, and they're getting richest hell off it anyway.
The Florida Attorney General, Ashley A. Moody, has been very
active on the issue surrounding security of our southern border,
and one thing that she and Governor Dasanthis have created
is a be a Florida a Hero program, And they're

(19:02):
recognizing the value and valuing the work of our heroes
and what they do in law enforcement, and recruiting and
incentivizing officers to move to Florida. Let me just say this,
I could not, in good conscience any longer at this
point in my life, seeing what I see in places
like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, ever recommend

(19:23):
to a young person. I don't know why young people
sometimes want my advice, but when they ask my advice,
I couldn't in good conscience say to become a cop
or a law enforcement officer in any of those cities,
because I know, number one, they're not going to be
given the resources to do their job, and if they
do do their job, the odds are probably pretty much
against them that they'll get in trouble for doing their job.

(19:46):
It's insanity. Anyway. In Florida, they're offering a bonus of
up to five thousand dollars for new law enforcement. By
the way, you know what that means. Let New York
City pay to train these cops and then go down
to Florida with your training and you get a five
thousand dollar bonus, a thousand dollars towards education for basic
recruit training, thousand up to a thousand dollars equivalency training

(20:10):
costs for certified law enforcement officers that relocate to Florida,
up to twenty five grand for being a hometown hero
first time homebuyers. I mean, they're offering so many incentives.
In other words, they are law enforcement friendly in Florida.
The Florida Attorney General, Ashley Moody joins us, Now, how
are you, madam Attorney General? Great to have you. I'm great,

(20:33):
great to be with you, and thanks for pointing out
how insane it is that top law enforcement officials are
saying it's crazy. It's a security threat. Drugs are flooding
in everyone's in danger. I mean, those are top law
enforcement for the federal government. You'd think they would listen
and do something about it. Well, I'm very serious when
I say this. Now, I come from a family of

(20:55):
law enforcement. My mother was a corrections officer, my dad
was a family corporate bay. I have so many relatives,
distant and otherwise that were in the NYPD. The two
people in my family, because all four of my grandparents
came from Ireland, but the two offspring that made it
to the FBI that they were deity in my family.

(21:17):
You know, the fact that I became a talk show
host put me in a very low category on the
family rung. I'll tell you that. But they were all
law enforcement, and they did it with pride and honor
at a time when police were respected. I mean, did
you see this kid the other day wailing on this
New York Police officer in the subway system. I'm watching

(21:38):
the cop and and I do mixed martial arts. That
cop is not fighting back because he knows he's on videotaping.
He's gonna have to answer for any punchy throws. So
he's trying to restrain this kid who's beating the hell
out of him, and of course had been picked up
on a gun charge, loaded gun charge, just weeks earlier,
and then another robbery charge that he had weeks earlier

(22:00):
and was set out because they have no ball laws
in New York. Of course, I think that gutted anyone
who has common sense watching what was happening to a
police officer. I share with you the astonishment of some
of these executive leaders, including our president and governors and
state attorneys around the nation. I'm the wife of a
law enforcement officer, not just a former federal prosecutor and judge.

(22:22):
When I see the attacks on law enforcement, it pierces
everything I know to be true about this great nation,
that we stand strong for those that protect us in
the military and law enforcement. But the border crisis is
just one example of what's happening in our big cities
and in these states like New York and in our

(22:43):
cities like Los Angeles. You have an executive that someone
trusted and voted for to, you know, protect them and
uphold the rule of law, and then they just abdicate
all responsibility. That's why I so appreciate working alongside Governor
the Santist who says, you know, when this nonsense comes
about about defunding our police or not respecting our officers.

(23:06):
He's like, how can we fund them more, How can
we give them more money, How can we create incentives
for them to come to Florida. I mean, he's even
removed one of these fake prosecutors who said they wouldn't
enforce the laws of the state of Florida. He's like,
not up in Florida. You know, governor to state us
that I have a constitutional duty to make sure as
governor that our laws are faithfully executed. So Florida does

(23:29):
support law enforcements. We will ensure that our laws are
being enforced. And I think that's such a supartment. That's
why so many law enforcement officers are moving here. And
if you're in law enforcement and you're looking and you know,
you're not going to be supported by your community and
by the courts in your city, the municipality in which

(23:51):
you live, in the state you live in, whatever it is.
You know. I know you probably don't read the New
York Post, but as I was leaving for Texas today,
it has on the front covers ten people, nine hundred
and forty five days, four hundred and eighty five crimes,
and most of the ten are still out and free.
They don't have any bail laws in New York. And

(24:12):
you know, for example, look what happened at a poor
Bodego worker, or if you're Jill Biden Bogada worker, you know,
this guy has no choice. Guy comes behind the counter,
he's saying, I don't want any problems. I don't want
any problems. He gets attacked by a guy by the
way with a long rap sheet and he gets pushed
against the wall, shoved to the grounds. Then the kid

(24:35):
is getting more aggressive. He defends himself and then he
gets charged with second degree murder. Now, because of the
public outcry, they did all right more with Blarida Attorney
General Ashley Moody is with us. They started a new
program there incentivizing law enforcement to move to Florida. Their

(24:56):
website is be a Florida hero dot com. If you're
in law enforcement in New York, it's commonplace to see
police officers just come under fire, under attack on a
regular basis. They're dousing them with big, huge buckets of water.
They're damaging the patrol cars they're in. They just do
it with you know, abandonment, because they know nothing's going

(25:18):
to happen. Foxnews dot Com had an article talking about
New York City crime. Seven hundred and sixteen people, that's all,
are behind thirty percent of the two thousand, four hundred
shootings in twenty twenty one. Now they're catching these people
and then they're releasing these people. There was one imagine this.

(25:39):
There is one guy. He robs a bank, he gets caught,
he gets out, no bail, robs another bank, he gets caught.
By the way, he needs a new profession. He's not
good at his job. Third time he got caught five
separate times, released five separate times. What is How do
you rationalize that stupidity? You don't. It's insanity. And I

(26:01):
do believe that folks are waking up. You know, they
used to see politics went on in this other world,
and you know, maybe there were Democrats versus Republicans, but
at the end of the day, nobody is going to
put citizens in jeopardy, right. I do believe people are saying,
no longer can we trust that our criminal justice system
is on autopilots. These folks that get themselves selected under

(26:23):
the banner of I'm going to improve the system. I'm
going to reform the system. That is not their goal.
They want to abolish the system
