so you see people wanting to live in a florida and wanting to travel to florida. the best validation we could have is if you look at some of these other politicians and states walk down the governors and mayors and some of the most hysterical voices on cable news over the last two years always criticizing florida saying we shouldn't have schools and business open and all these things and yet the first chance they get to escape their own policies, they end up in our state. you see them in miami or palm beach and so i think that speaks volumes because people will posture, people will have the political narrative that they will want to send but the question is when you behave what does your behavior say about a good place to be and not and i can tell you within the overall have seen thatwe we have seen a boom in jewish migration into florida. i would say it's the number one destination for american jews who are relocating from within the united states and in particular some of the religious jewish communities are booming like never before. now i think there's a lot o

i think about where florida is, how florida has handled the last couple of years. i look at some other state i think back to the founding fathers in the story where there was a debate but took three of the most prominent founding father doctor benjamin rush, thomas jefferson, and benjamin franklin. they were debating what was the world's oldest profession. and doctor rush was a physician. and so he said the world's oldest profession is a physician because eve was cut out of the rib of adam. of course it had to be theic physician. on jefferson now i don't think that's right but he is an architect, he designed market cello that something near and dear and he said the world oldest profession is the architect. after all who do you think created the order out of all the chaos? and franklin said no, you are wrong. the oldest profession is the politician. who do you think created the chaos in the first place? [laughter] and unfortunately, policy hasn't mattered probably more than ever over the last few years. i am pleased to say that on issue after issue florida has led t

specifically, in florida. how does redistricting help republicans right now, especially when you're thinking about a district like district 13, which we saw on the documentary? >> when you look at the 13th district, the story is less about hispanic voters, it's about hispanic candidate who may be well positioned to win in november because of the way the math was redrawn in florida this year. every state as redrawing its lies in different ways. but the 13 district went from one that had a tilt towards the democrat to one that now is a tilt towards the republicans. so it was redrawn in a way that an 80-year would be beneficial to republican candidate. you add into it the fact that we're in a midterm here, the midterms tend to be a referendum on a sitting president, the white house party almost always as poorly in midterm elections. so district like the 13th, with the change in the lines of the district, making it more republican friendly, and the fact that the democratic president in the mid term makes that a mu

that's why they came to florida. and now governor desantis is bringing a brand of authoritarianism to florida that couldn't, maduro, or castro went up like. mr. snyder, should residents in florida be resisting this rising authoritarianism of governor desantis and are we seeing the creeping anticipatory obedience that you talk about towards his repressive policies that you want about? >> so, number one, i think you're a very right to make these comparisons and cubans often older generation can actually remember school policies from the homeland which are similar to the ones that are being implemented in florida now. number two, i think you are also quite right to talk about anticipatory obedience. it's very important not to see changes like this as normal and as -- to allow them to come creeping in so that they become the new normal. and number three, should people be resisting absolutely. i mean the way that democracies are overcome in the 20s century 21st century is generally from within and it's generally by clever

how it is marketed in florida as free florida, freedom florida, all that stuff. really it goes back to a very simple tenet which we all learned in school. justice brandeis is not in the constitution but it's well understood to be a right. it is the idea of being left alone. the droves of people who are moving to florida every day, moving out of places like new york new jersey, connecticut. high state income taxes. it is really the idea being left alone. it's not a new taste of anything. he will continue to talk about lockdowns, mask mandates, those things in florida we are free. but it does come at a great expense. >> what are democrats doing in florida to be able to secure the state again. obama won twice, but then trump one. what are floridian democrats doing to make sure that perhaps this becomes less of, i was gonna say purple but it seems like we are pretty red. >> not enough! shortly, we have three branches. the florida democratic party as a whole, statewide. inside the legislative chamber we have the house and the senate. it is a 40 member senate, we are t

so in the state of florida, physicians are going on to the florida state website and putting in orders. it is effectively through the state. the state is acting as a broker. but the state is not taking possession. what is happening in other states, they're taking possession of the vaccine and redistributing it. a lot of states have chosen to do that because they want to make sure there is equitable distribution, and they want to target certain parts of the state. in florida, they said, we don't think people should be getting this vaccine, and we're going to take no role in facilitating that access, so they're not blocking that access. >> brennan: dr. scott gottlieb, i always love having you on the problem. we'll be back with a lot more "face the nation." stay with us. how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. ♪♪ making friends again, billy? i like to keep my enemies close. guys, excuse me. i didn't quite get that. i'm hard of hearing. ♪♪ oh hey, don't forget about the tense music too. would you say tense? i'd say susp

similar to states like florida. that was able to call the 2020 general election on election night, because of pre canvassing. we so that leads to my next point, which is that county and state election officials continue to bear the burden of addressing this information and disinformation regarding the integrity of our elections. it is especially disturbing that some disinformation has come from those with a sworn duty to defend our democratic process. the november 2020 election in pennsylvania, like every election since, was free, fair, and secure. allegations of illegal legal activity in pennsylvania's 2020 election has been repeatedly dismissed more than two dozen federal court cases and debunked by independent fact-checker's. repeating this falsehood over and over, harms our democracy and voters confidence in our elections process. finally, and most significantly, counties consistently express another need. adequate, consistent funding from the state federal government. in pennsylvania, counties bare virtually al

because i think that work for the state of florida work very well in the state of florida, but if we went at a federal legislation, i don't know how you could get a florida and a colorado, and possibly a louisiana, and fit us all into the same box. we in florida have decided, and worked through what works best for our miami-dades, our lafayettes, and everybody in between, so that it fits and we are have those optional pieces to make it for our particular jurisdiction. >> what do you think is a problem with this 20,000 ballots weren't able to be counted on election day. was this the printing error in printing the bar code, and why would that come up in some sort of pretext of the system? >> yes, so that was lancaster county. with one county. it was a vendor issue with this printing the bar code. so, at about 7 am when the county started pre-canvassing, they discovered this error that the scanner was not reading the bar code. so that is why they're hand marking the ballot. if we had ample pre canvas time, like florida, that would've definitely been called earlier. >> right. and on the

the florida constitution. so this governor, who has been touting that he is a strict constructionist, actually reads the constitution of florida, he'll know that any type of restriction on that right to privacy should be overturned by the florida supreme court. so truly not listening to the people and certainly not abiding by his oath of office to uphold the florida constitution as well. neil: all right. let's say everything stays equal with, but now we know that roe v. wade is not the law of the land. the measure then means what for florida for the time being? >> yeah. the measure is imperative that people are electing individuals not just in the governor's office, but across the entire state into our legislative body to make sure that that woman's right to choose is still sacred and still a right to privacy. so that vote now is essential for november to choose the right candidates across the state and the country to make sure there are individuals who are going to be held accountable and make sure that they'

in florida, though, florida is the only state not to pre order doses, missing a key deadline. the florida department of health released a statement writing, quote, states do not need to be involved in the convoluted vaccine distribution process, especially when the federal government has a track record of developing inconsistent and unsustainable covid-19 policies. here with us cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, what do you think of florida not pre ordering the vaccine? >> well, you know, the situation is florida is a state that has some of the highest transmission in the country, this he have a surgeon general who has issued statements saying children should not get vaccinated and if you look at older age groups they've tracked much lower than the rest of the country in terms of getting people vaccinated. so it's potentially an issue. we do know if you overall look at the sentiment or attitudes towards this vaccine, it goes down in terms of likelihood of taking it as people get younger, as children get younger. so, for example, in the under age 5 group,

it is every city in florida right now. politicians do not even talk about this. host: let's take your points. lawrence yun, are you hearing about investors buying properties and letting them sit empty? guest: definitely, the wall street money is flowing in. they are looking at accelerating, rising rents and chasing after that. wall street has much more financial power to purchase above asking price, as the caller mentioned. they are buying single-family homes to turn it into rentals or they are buying apartment buildings and raising rents. the housing shortage. for the long-term, we have to see how to bring about more supply so the rents do not rise so fast and wall street will back away because they are chasing rents long-term. host: how do you do that? how do you lower rates? guest: by increasing supply. it takes time. it is not an overnight situation. the short-term possibility is they have seen a great inflow of new residents coming in from other states, which is the reason for the additional housing shortage. in the short-term term, one of the considerations

why is florida taking this stance? >> in florida, our surgeon general has actually not recommended the vaccine for babies and children. he's focused on the data and believes for healthy children that might not be worth the risk associated with that. it is not surprising you see corporations or businesses like publix, which is a grocery store. this administration wants vaccines going into six month to five year olds, there is lack of demand and weak evidence to support for healthy children to outweigh the risk. i think a lot goes into the decision-making, you will see it available in private medical clinics, in cvs and others set up with specialized staff, doesn't surprise me it is not in a grocery store for that young of a child. >> carley: ashley moody, thank you for joining us. good to see you. -- legislation in our country seen in decades setting up a showdown in the house today, not everyone is on board. >> the approach of the democrats is to try to take away firearms from law abiding citizens, that approach is unc

i now recognize the gentleman from florida for five. >> thank you. before we get into questions we have chatted at length about previous storms and events i would like to submit for the record from various congressional offices for the record and i would like to get your commitment to responding. >> i alluded to my concerns about thewi administration privatization with fy 211.7 million illegal encountered at the southwest border. and then fast-forward to april of this year 222,234,000 migrant encounters on the southwest border which is the highest number of the decades this year's budget request includes $24 million for the emergency food and shelter program and other services to families and individuals encountered by a those at the southwest border. that communities are providing those with quarantining and isolation and incurringfo the cost. the use of hotels and non- congregants face is a prevalent solution to remain for the foreseeable future even if concerns decrease. i find it troubling in the budget request that mentions increase cost associa

npr had a headline, florida dismisses scientist for not altering data. the "wall street journal" is taking the media reporting to task, frequent phenomenon is flurry over alleged scandal on examination turns out to be false. what is your reaction to this? >> joe: wow, we've seen many of those and the editorial board is right. this underscores what a threat republicans see ron desantis, what a threat he is. an investigation by inspector general michael bennet found this whistleblower's allegations were untrue based on evidence. one study found new york, new jersey, california, failed in handling of pandemic because of lockdowns and policies. florida was among the best because it opened beaches and businesses earlier than other states. desantis was dealed as death santis and now his policies appeared to be the right way to go. states like florida, the governor there is overwhelmingly popular, if he runs for president and donald trump does not, it sure as you were born, carl and he todd, he will be the nominee based on his performance in terms of running fl
