Suggested host intro:
After just over a year into the Biden administration, there have been many comparisons between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. As we round the bend to 2022, there is increased ‘chatter’ about a possible Trump-Biden rematch or a Trump-Harris contest. But there is one pairing for a possible square-off that has primarily been discussed in hushed tones.
But a new initiative is being proposed by a possible presidential primary contender that might be the proverbial straw that causes conservatives to switch their allegiance from Don to Ron. The topic is the formation of a Florida State Guard that is independent of the federal government. The man proposing the initiative is Florida governor Ron Desantis.
Joining us in this discussion is Michael Letts, a police officer who strongly favors state guards. Welcome, Michael.
Questions:
- Are there any benefits to Law Enforcement/First Responders in Gov. DeSantis’s proposal to create a Florida State Guard?
A.) There are multiple benefits to Law Enforcement/First Responders in Florida by Gov. DeSantis proposal to create a Florida State Guard. Twenty-three other states, including SC have similar state guard programs. Depending on how they are structured, they can be immensely valuable—especially in that, they are separate from the ‘woke’ bureaucrats in Washington!
- Are there any possible negatives or areas of concern about a State Guard Program?
A.) It is all in creating documents and agreements. It is NOT a rogue military operation playing war games.
- What is the proper structuring and setup to reach maximum benefit for the citizens of Florida or any state having or creating a State Guard?
A.) It needs to be designated as a Special Operations Rapid Emergency Response Battalion……Comprised of Law Enforcement/ Fire Fighter/ Medic/ and Search and Rescue. Either as individualized squads/platoons or Fully trained units……(Fully trained units maximize resources. They must also be trained and funded…..wise investment for minimal cost.
4.) Can InVest USA be of assistance in their creation?
- Definitely, a vital piece of equipment for the law enforcement component is protection with Active Shooter Vest, sometimes referred to as a bulletproof vest.
- Is there a more prominent role for State Guards during this national crisis of lawlessness, looting, rioting, anti-police movement by various groups across the country?
A .) There is a vital role to be played in a coordinated campaign to restore law, order, and justice across America, one state at a time. I encourage all state leaders who don’t have states guards to form one.
6.) Do you have first-hand experience in State Guards?
A.) Yes, as a Senior Officer on the Command Staff of the South Carolina State Guard, 6th Battalion.
7.) Tell us about your organization, InVest USA, and what you do to help restore law and order in our communities.
8.) Please give us your website for additional information so we can better learn how we may help with your work.
