Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has rolled out a new military plan called, “Mission First”. The plan would include eliminating DEI programs in the military and revoking an order allowing transgender personnel to serve as their preferred sex. NBC News’ Gabe Gutierrez has more.

#NBCNews #RonDeSantis #Military
All ways amazing to see our politicians talk about wokeness instead of, oh I don’t know, our crippling debt, corruption, or rising cost of living. It’s also cool how in all the problems the military has, such as lack of accountability of higher leadership, Desantis is most interested in the thing that has nothing to do with military effectiveness.
That’s because republicans don’t want to solve any of those issues.
This^
Half the people watching this are excited about DeSantis because he’s good at getting people excited.
@Gregg Strasser
He is a conservative.
the democrat brand is tarnished and stained.
would never even consider a democrat.
they stand for perversion and bad ideas.
vote democrat……..why?
Wanna bet? When the military budget cant buy a fly because the government keeps barrowing against next decades taxes to run a vanity project for cutting down the pig farms smell…….
You want to get rid of the corruption? Start burning BOTH superparties slush funds up to pay for the debt, then shake the tree.
Not to mention the billions of dollars that just disappear.
All everyone hears is how vets are crazy and not taken care of! Why do a job for the American Dream when you can become a social media influencer! EVERYONE IS A SOCIAL MEDIA STAR – DESCANUS is a younger joe biden I do believe there needs to be reform in every aspect of our government and military specifically but DESCANUS is not the one that anyone should be making a deal with
If Biden’s Marxist handlers get their way, all you “progressives, socialists, and commie-wannabes” are going to be drafted and sent away to fight ‘capitalism’. You had better hope DeSantis wins.
Our military is so important. Our dollar is based on it. This attack is misguided. Just another manipulative, greedy politician!
Hes nothing more than a tyrant and deserves to be ridiculed and punched in the face.
Yes, look at education, children. Woke is a sickness. What they tried to do in schools. It’s evil. And being a disabled combat vet, I don’t want ANY of my tax dollars going to the evil WOKE agenda. I said it before. You enjoy this temporary backslide in history. Because I promise you, that’s all it is. Temporary.
I ❤Ron DeSantis …HOPEFULLY OUR NEXT COMMANDER IN CHIEF 😎🇺🇸🙏🤙🥳🥳🥳
I hope and pray desantis nor trip dont win the nomonation.
Dude is a pkn psychopath….hey😊 ..tell THE TRUTH why you do make all men serve instead of blaming it on a choice😊 … Let’s start with telling the truth about that
I’m not okay with destantis at all
DeSatan with a military plan!?! That’s crazy! He knows not what he spews! Keep spreading misinformation and disinformation!
NBC is very, very woke.
Ideas like this from a circus clown that couldn’t even handle a single mouse.
Yeh, what DeSantis knows about war and the military is “I hate woke, which means everything I’m willing to publicly claim is bad”.
Nice to have a normal moral person in politics. Ron is a blessing
@Caryn Schwengel So what is your take on biden
A moral person ships migrants to other cities by lying to them? Here’s $5. Go buy yourself a dictionary.
He hates woke because his followers are asleep!
A blessing for people who hate the constitution of the US
@Robert Turner Immoral are the ones letting them cross our borders for votes. He was just sending them to the ones that are allowing it. It will take more than $5 to fix your problems
Hey De Saster ,! You are oblivious to the way veterans ,are treated after endless wars, they have to fight a system that constantly has to get funded with out true bipartisan support.! How about you worry about real issues ,and not ” woke ” nonsense.
China is ready to pounce. We need a strong military, not a political tool.
Anyone having to deal with DeSantis has to have poor morale. The guy is absolutely clueless. Like Trump , he speaks of things he has no information about. He just makes it up!
DeSantis 2024!!
🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Why would anyone want a person mentally ill and immoral protecting them.
Right. So vote neither trump nor desantis. I agree with you 100%
@Robert Turner Yet you voted in a man with dementia hmmmm
NO deathsatan YOU ARE WAY OFF!!!!
GO WOKE YOURSELF!!!
he right tho..
Nikki Haley for Republicans Nominee
Nobody wants to fight for a country that hates them
Florida clearly has a problem with DeSatan.
He is utterly vile.
No wonder Tim Scott has a good chance to become president. Coyotee DeSantis is spending taxpayers’ money to entertain his ego.
Stop calling it ‘anti woke’ call it what it is, ANTI HUMANE!!
So, Woke must be any thought, emotion, or action that GQP finds offensive or even slightly disagrees with. 😂 How pathetically anti-american 😮
Sooo sad they refer to being democrat as being woke….
Woke deniers
Rob desantis could convicted for war crimes.
Which of DeSantis mega donors connected yo China? Is Bush, Rove, and Ryan endorsing DeSantis?
Anti wokeness might not win the Republican Party primaries. However, it could win the Presidential Election because many Democrats and left leaning Independents like myself, feel that many Democrats have gone crazy with wokeness.
please define *wokeness* for us Democrats
what is the conservative agenda for America
@Nick Ader Wokeness – Insanity.
As for what the Conservative agenda is, you’d have to ask a Conservative.
@Grey Beard
insanity
thats a powerful accusation
can you back it up with facts our are you describing your own feelings and emotions
asking for America
@Nick Ader If you have been paying attention at all and don’t think wokeness is insane, then you should definitely vote for the Democrats. Equally insane is MAGA.
To me, Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same dirty coin. Both equally corrupt and working together to keep us divided, them in charge and their pockets full.
They both do this by catering to their extremes. Wokeness and MAGA are the extremes of both corrupt parties.
Ok so does desantis think gender dysphoria is a mental illness or not a real thing so it shouldn’t be covered for veterans?
DeSantis isn’t just a mind virus he’s a perversion of everything Americans hold dear…. freedom and the right to be yourself and do what’s right for you and your loved ones
DeSantis is a parasite on our country and a stain not just our local governments but on all Americans
Military needs to recall Desantis and then lying about the military. The military is not paying for anything except travel expenses when they’re soldiers are in a red state that doesn’t offer certain healthcare options unlike DeSantis do some research and you will see he’s lying.
DeSantis has a real emotional problem that needs professional attention.
That would be most of the Republicans at this time
Good on you Gov. DeSantis.
This dude is so hateful that he’s not capable of learning from his own mistakes, smh! 3:47
The (embodied threat) to human freedom,right there.
Everything is urgent with desantis. He seems awfully excitable that our country is going down the tubes. Could it be because of him and most trump republicans. I think so.
the country is going down the tubes because people are fighting about repubs and dems
They always talk abstractly about the “mission of the military.” Concretely it only amounts to robbing 3rd world countries, and killing anyone who opposes them.
LOL we all know republican military plans are always “Step one: Surrender immediately to russia. Step two: Remember to do step one” 😂
Maybe people don’t want to fight for a corrupt government That puts corporate greed And Government corruption ahead of its people..
Let’s waterboard him and laugh like he did to innocent people in guantanamo.
Notice no mention of improving financial situation for military
Like a JAGOFF has any idea what the junior enlisted life is like
The politicians are a big problem. Our military is only as good as our politcal circus lets them.

Finally!!! Someone speaking what we have all been thinking!!!
Sounds like brain rot.
So Descumtos is competing with trump to be the biggest bigot, the biggest violator of human rights and the biggest terrorist in the country. Providing medical care to any non- straight soldiers in the military , who serve our country , is ” not his cup of tea”
So what can we put in his tea that will help Americans??
“Woke Mind Virus” It’s a good thing DeSantis has no chance at the presidency. When is Florida going to wise up?
Poor people enlist in the military and after the 20 year illegitimate war in the Middle East smart poor people realize the benefits are not worth their lives.
And I am a 51 year old, who was born into the military and married a military man, with all the love.
Please take care of insurance issues in Florida……
I’m super woke… tell Ron sxck a dxck
He’s all about attacking “woke”, but couldn’t tell you what it means. 🤣
He and the rest of these Republicans bastardized that word. Don’t none of them folk know what it means
He’s so boring and uninteresting with this Woke foolishness. Transgender ppl are the least of the militaries problems or the average Americans, for that matter.
He’s a tsinoiz ⬅️
After seeing a 300 lb 5’8″ (all mid section) get a pass on the obstacle course, a 20 something woman walk around them while texting i think De Santis might be onto something…..
Desantis is just another Mitt Romney 😂
“Woke” – a meaningless term the GOP uses to complain about things they don’t like or approve of.
Complaining about money spent on trans when the volume of waste stemming from the state of the MIC stands where it is shows where Republican priorities are. Tax dollars shouldn’t be squandered on an acquisition process designed to be wasteful so that “cost + 15%” yields the largest 15% defense contractors can wring out of the contract. I worked for Lockheed Martin back in the 90s. The government’s efforts to get accountability out of the contractor were easily defeated. As a materials support guy, I was nickel dimed on how I spent my time. I had to account for every 15 minutes. The engineers I supported acted like 15 minutes charged to their program account was a pint of blood. Then three of four of them would spend the morning in someone’s office drinking coffee and telling jokes while charging all that time to Javelin or THAAD. One wonders how many trans people could have received top-shelf care for years with all the money Lockheed Martin has spent over the years financing smoking and joking at the government’s expense.
The fact that MSNBC, abc, NBC, CNN are supporting desantis shows who is the sell out. Foh
DEI is cancer. Woke is AIDS.
Desantis a Dictator wannabe is everything this Country has always fought against. We don’t need a Fascist sitting in the Whitehouse that is a Danger to our Country.
What a nutjub
God help america if this j a$$ wins
Ok I guess he don’t want blacks in there
The woke mind virus?
My son in army. Sau 911 was about making $$ for billionnaire that why words say fuuu republiscunt bush 911 etc
more propaganda for the necessarry idiots of conservatism from DeSantis and his war on *WOKE*
military recruitment *ALWAYS* falls when their are jobs …
and the Biden Economy is creating wealth *ALMOST* as fast as the CLINTON Economy
DeSantis’ Presidential hopes are dashed
❤ DeSantis
I still don’t understand.. who is he trying to help??
Out of touch Meatball
Republicans are putting their best candidates? I dare say they are probably the worst, beginning with trump and followed by de santis, and Haley. They are the most corrupt and negative people ever who are ready to trampled on the people of this country. Republicans are the worst I have ever seen, all the policies they are pushing are so against the people. This goes to prove how idiotic they are. I pray for the good people of this country to come to their senses and be aware of the harm these people can have on each person. I particularly don’t want the authoritarian regime they want to impose upon us. Vote blue. Whenever we all vote they lose. Let’s all work together to bring back some sense of normalcy. We as voters do have the ability to bring about changes such as the courts, put a stop to the influence of billionaires who are aiming to put the shackles on the working class. Wake up and make good use of the power we have as the collective.
“Woke mind virus” is gibberish.
There’s nothing wrong with what DeSantis said.
It’s really hard to be so wrong about so many things. But DeSantis is succeeding.
Joe Biden has failed at everything America needs Ron DeSantis
He says woke so much he puts me to sleep when he talks.
Floridas economy is falling apart.
56% of all children in Florida. live in poverty
Florida is 20th in infrastructure ..
Top 5 WORST in emergency preparedn🎉ess .
national maternal mortality rate for 2023 was 33 deaths per 100,000 live births, the highest seen since 1965. The rate in Florida is slightly higher, at 39 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births
Florida ranks in the top 10 in infant mortality..
Dsantis has not passed a SINGLE policy..to fix any of that….
He’s signed policies to strip rights from:
**Ethnic and melaninated people .(ESPECIALLY TA’A SETIANS 👩🏿👨🏿)
👨🏽👨🏾👩🏽👩🏾
**Women
👩🏿👩🏾👩🏽👩🏼👩🏻
**trans Children
👦🏻👧🏼👦🏿👧🏿
**Drs.
👨⚕️👩⚕️
**LGB *”ESPECIALLY THE T”* QIA people
⚧️👬👭 🌈.
I didn’t think it could get worse than trump….. ..
And then there’s desantis.
He’s right. Woke is a disease that tears community’s apart at the family level.
Adults need to take notes from DeSantis, youre never too old to feel insecure. All his projections are about as lethal as a Karen patrolling the streets, or, in republicans case MGT or Laura Bimbert.
Let’s go Desantis!!!!
Amen i agree i serve in the military and that woke mentality is affecting military members and the ones who dont care about helping others are the “woke minded military menbers” i lived through it
Define woke
Now we are going to make woke a shell game at a carnival. Woke is racism and prejudice
A military plan for what Florida What are you talking about it
The U.S military 🎉just got ridiculed by a loser who laughed as detainees were tortured, this is a sick individual who campaigns on hate, that’s why nobody likes him he acts like an entitled little B.
Why bother his sponsors are pulling out he’s so far behind. I guess he thinks this is going to put in my head has nothing but race wars and problems, you millionaires who are supporting this man you better stop now you’re saying his torture side remember the guy said he tortured people he did. I’m sure he did just the way he acts. 0:43
He’s going to need an insurance policy 3:33
Well, I know there’s a lot of fourth graders inside the in South Carolina for fourth grade education people that’s about all that would vote for this guy never makes it to South Carolina. I don’t think it will but you never know he’s open the Trump goes to jail I know that. 4:10
Ronald has his own private SS paid for by Flordia taxpayer’s. Fascist!
He should never be Commander in Chief
