he now calls florida home. he used to brag that all roads to the white house lead to florida. it may actually be literally that in 24. in terms of the governor, governor desantis i think has the greatest story going, florida story. a sea of calm and positivity in the -- in covid. he's on his job of managing the state, the recent budget had record amounts for not just education and the environment encoding 500 million dollars for the everglades but also tax relief and $20 billion for the rainy day reserve. his record is really good, but beyond that he is sending a message that the republican base is really liking. a message that shows that the party itself has moved from being a party of big business to america's working class. and you see that in microcosm for the viewers, take a look at miami-dade. in miami-dade, where president biden one by seven points back in 2020, it's been decidedly moving in miami-dade towards their publican party. registration in the state for the first time ever is majority republican their predictions miami-dade could go for the republican party nomi

thank you, florida. [applause] let us recognize again the sculptor who breaks another barrier, as was mentioned, as the first hispanic artist to have a sculpture in the statuary hall collection at the capitol. nilda comas. [applause] welcoming the statue is such a privilege for all of us. i visited the place where the statue was carved. the leader mentioned it was the material of michelangelo and many great renaissance artists. the people there like us are celebrating that they have a statue in capitol of the u.s.. welcoming the statue is, i think, news of history. cleo. she records everything she sees going on in the capitol. i think today she is smiling extra broadly because of what she is reporting -- recording here today. you can see mary mcleod bethune standing next to a seated rosa parks. that is quite remarkable. they look quite comfortable there. after nilda comas -- after bethune takes her rightful place here, honoring a legendary american, we ensure all young people, but especially, young black

next up, we go to florida. tuesday is a primary there and we will look at the 20 arrest that took place last week, overwhelmingly a people who were formerly incarcerated. why? because they mistakenly thought they were eligible to vote. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] amy: "the evil that men do" by hot chip. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we turn now to florida, where a new office has made his first arrest of people it accuses of commitng voter fraud tied to e 2020 election. they come dressed as voters are said to go to the polls tuesday in the states primary. the office was a pet project of ron desantis who announced the arrest thursday. >> the state of florida has charged and is in the procs of arresting 20 individuals across the state for voter fraud. amy: many of those arrested were formerly incarcerated. the state said they did not have their voting rights properly restored or were ineligible due to their convictions. for more, we go to orlando, flori

florida has a clear choice. and i'm excited about this race. >> congresswoman demings, let's go to lee county, let's go to ft. myers. let's talk about a family, married couple, husband, 45, wife's 43. two children. a son who is a junior in high school. a daughter who is in sixth grade and has chronic diabetes. even that young. as well as asthma. they're getting killed at the publix market every time they go grocery shopping. they're getting killed at the gas station when they put the gas in the truck. why you and not marco rubio? >> well, marco rubio has been in elected office since 1998. he's had opportunity after opportunity to do something for that family in lee county and other families like them throughout our state. it's interesting, i was just until lee county in fort myers last week. and i talked to people about those very issues. about the cost of goods and services, the cost of gas at the pumps. i remember, of course, as the daughter of a maid and janitor, watching my parents stretch a dollar so i know

in florida. and it is with great honor that i introduce the roffman family chair in the humanities at the university of florida, which is my alma mater. let's welcome, jack davis. >> [applause] >> thank, you joe. by the way, 1947 when, as you know, when tropical audubon was started, was a watershed year for south florida. of course, that the air when everglades national park was dedicated. it's also the year, just a few weeks before the partners dedicated, that marjory stoneman douglas published the everglades river of glass. as joe, said i wrote this book about marjory stoneman douglas and she had a tremendous amount of respect for tropical audubon. i think that was her favorite organization, next to, of course, friends of the everglades. the one she founded. and joe brown to had tremendous respect for tropical audubon, not so much national but definitely tropical audubon. thank you for what you do. and, of course, we should thank florida audubon for their eagle watch program, which is a very va

you guessed it, florida. in a position to the court, the team said that she is mature enough to make a decision. and that she is not ready to have a baby. she is fighting for her ged, does not have a job and the father is unable to help her. under florida law, and abortion cannot be performed on a minor without the consent of a parent or a guardian. but in this, case the teen is perilous and in the custody of a state of florida. this week on my peacock show, i asked retired miami-dade county, circuit -- about her opinion on the court's decision. >> so i want to give you my opinion and tell you how i handled these cases. there may be something that we don't know. this dependency cases are all sealed. they are confidential. but with this, statute by the way i'm aghast the statutes. i am opposed to, that i think they put a burden on these minors that don't need to be there. most miners will go to a parent if they feel that they can. okay, i was pregnant as a minor. this was before roe v. wade and i was able to g

florida's bald eagles are responsible. i'm not going to go into great detail because we're running at a time here, but florida's bald eagles florida's bald eagle population was still fairly healthy, but it was but there were only in 1970 only 88 active nest involved in in florida. whereas the time in charles broly first was climbing trees in the late 30s. there are probably 1500 to 2000. active nest but they but the other southern states had no nesting eagles or many of the others and ultimately florida's bald eagles were responsible for repopulating those other southern states. so now if you see a nesting bald eagle in alabama or mississippi or south carolina or georgia, there's a good chance that that bald eagles the descendant of a florida eagle and i want the state of florida to put a monument out up on 441 and at the entrance of payne's prairie state preserve where where most of these eggs are taking from that area to to honor these heroic bald eagles, and i've already got apparently chris brown's the speaker of the h

, the attorney general of florida, the elected commissioner of education. all these issues are important. >> reporter: congressman charlie crist was a die-hard republican before changing parties. >> this is an important moment for florida's future. >> reporter: even elected as the state's republican governor in 2006. but in 2009, two years into his gubernatorial term -- >> please give a warm florida welcome to president barack obama. >> reporter: he hugged former president barack obama on stage after introducing him at an economic stimulus package rally dubbed by the press as "the kiss of death." but 13 years later, crist is embracing that moment. >> president obama used to always tell us, when we vote, we win. >> reporter: courting voters as the best democratic candidate to break desantis' stronghold in the state. you've been in politics for a very long time. you've seen the state change. do you truly believe that right now a democrat can win florida? >> i have no doubt about it. i know it in my heart and soul. we're one-third republican, one-third democra

in central florida. he was announcing arrests that were made in heavily democratic south florida, part of a crackdown by his controversial new election police unit, created to pursue donald trump's false claims of the stolen election. didn't donald trump win florida? yes. red state, right there. which means that desantis is instead pursuing people who genuinely did not realize they do not have the right to vote in florida. people who apparently -- wasn't aware, ramona oliver wasn't told -- restored voting rights to most former felons in 2018 does not apply to convicted murderers or sex offenders. desantis added to the confusion when he implemented a poll tax of sorts. requiring ex felons -- before being allowed to vote. sure, you could say those are people who committed a murder or sexual offense of some kind. that's who they are. yes, they did the timeframe. some of them are reformed. now they might be going back to prison again for which appears to be an honest mistake and is part of a dissent is -- a

. >>> and then we go down to florida, where republican governor ron desantis has soerded some new lessons for the start of school this week. revisionist history and christian nationalism. new yorker writer and dean of the columbia journalism school, jalon cobb will be in the studio to discuss. and president biden canceled student debt for thousands who are ripd off for a for profit college chain promising jobs of the future that never arrived. >>> we start tonight in mounting investigations into the former president of the united states. after last night's election in wyoming, donald trump appears poised to gain some allies in congress. but it comes as trump is quickly losing friends, basically anywhere else. today trump's former vice president mike pence said we consider talking to the january 6th committee. >> if they were to call you to the committee to come and testify, would you be agreeable. >> well, if there was an invitation to participate, i would consider. it any invitation that would be directed to me, i would have to reflect on the unique role that i was serving then as vice p

specifically in florida. how does redistricting help republicans right now, i think, especially when you are thinking about the district like the district 18th, which we saw on the documentary. >> when you look at the 13th district, the story there is less about hispanic voters. it's about hispanic candidate who may be well positioned to win november because of the way the map was redrawn in florida this year, because every state is rejoining its lands in different ways. but at the 13th district went from on the tattletale toward the democrats, now to one that has a clear tilt towards the republicans. it was redrawn in a way that in any year, would be beneficial to a republican candidate. you add into it the fact that we are in a midterm here, the midterms tend to be a referendum on the sitting president. the white house's party almost always does poorly in much of elections. so, in a district like the 13th, with a change, with the dragon friendly district, and the fact that it's a democratic president in the

it shouldn't be possible under florida law because florida has a constitutional amendment which prohibits the diminished of minority voting strength. but the florida supreme court did see it that way. and in a recent ruling. they allowed the censuses had to go into effect it happens that the florida supreme court has a 7 to 0 republican majority on it right now, including three of the seven justices that were appointed by desantis himself. so it seems like he is confident that state supreme court is going to interpret this. and in soon to be a fourth. yeah. so we will soon have a state court where a majority of the justices have been appointed by the current governor and i have a couple of really major moving forward. the first is that the florida supreme court going to strike down the fair districts. these were the amendments to the state constitution that the voters approved back 2010 and which both partisan gerrymandering and racial gerrymandering. my second major concern is that the supreme court is either going to strike down sharply limit section two of the voting rights act of 1965

also in florida, former u.s. president, donald trump knew lawsuit stemming from the fbi search of mar-a-lago. it is getting pushback from a federal judge. that judge said a friday deadline for trump's lawyers to clarify the request for a special master to review evidence seized by the fbi. it comes as we are learning about a letter from the national archive to trump's legal team. it confirms more than 700 pages marked classified and special access. we are recovered from mar-a-lago by the archives team in january. according to that letter. archives officials, share the documents with the intelligence community. back in may. so an assessment could be done on potential damage over how the trump handled the classified materials. we're joining me now from los angeles, host of the mekelle show, political commentator mekelle himself. and from washington, former republican congressman, now cnn political commentator. charlie dent. welcome to you both. >> good evening. >> so, moe kelly, i want to start with you. get your r

florida has a number of these schools. tennessee, recently, in the state address in january, governor bill lee in tennessee announced that he wanted to create 50 of these hillsdale affiliated charter schools in tennessee. other states have, you know, expressed interest in implementing hillsdale's curricula. so, it just really has quite a big footprint. >> i will say, we have to leave it there, catherine. this is such important reporting. as we talk about ron desantis, and then we very well be the republican nominee for president, we talk about a movement that is going across the country. this is not something that is in florida. this is extending to colorado, california, wisconsin, tennessee, indiana. this is the bread and butter of the new conservative movement. your reporting is fabulous on this, and i encourage everyone to go read it. catherine joyce, investigative reporter excellent, thank you so much for your reporting in time tonight. >> thank so much for having me. >> up next on this friday night, new polls showing

in florida as a moral battle. there will be no woke dumpster fire in what desantis is florida, putting a license plate. of course what he's doing is drawing a line between so called woke left his values, and between his americas virtues and values, it's a theme that comes up repeatedly in the states civics at training for educators, back with us is jelani cobb dean of the columbia journalism school. but is the point of overlaying this moral instruction over what is a -- >> generally speaking, if you're talking to the public, people don't want nuance, they want stark lines, they want to be told and illustrated that the distinctions are absolutely clear and an harried, so he's framing this as woke, and woke us become a drinking game, just tossed outward out as many times as you can, and as by framing it as a metaphor for everything that you find contemptible, you are able to make the case implicitly for when it is you're trying to do, that these people are uncrossed shin, they're immoral, that the opposite of you, a

and then there's florida. where congressman and former governor charlie crist and nikki fareed are locked in a contest. let's start with steve kornacki at the big board. i know polls have just recently closed, but we know we got to panhandle coming in at 8:00, but the bulk have closed. >> we're look at a blowout, joy. there's a slice of the state here you mentioned, part of the panhandle that won't close until 8:00 eastern, but it's a small sliver in terms of the overall vote. florida is one of those states that count it quickly. you can see we basically got two-thirds of the vote already counted up here in the democratic race and all you see is that charlie crist blew throughout the state, one exception there, gainesville, where the university of florida is, where fried is winning. his congressional district that he currently represents is right here in the tampa area. but take a look at a place like orange county. this is where orlando is. he's running near 60% of the vote. the big counties here in south flo

also tonight, the race in — here in florida. also tonight, the race in new— here in florida. also tonight, the race in new york, - here in florida. also tonight, the race in new york, a - here in florida. also tonight, l the race in new york, a special election that that has been regarded as a potential bellwether for the midterms i believe. tell us about that. it believe. tell us about that. it is. that special election, whoever wins it, is only going to serve on office for a few months before they will have to run for re—election in november but both the republicans and the democrats are seeking a lot of money in it trying to win that seed because it was a congressional seat thatjoe biden carried by two percentage points in 2020, so it is a very marginal seat. we could go either way. we could be an indication is that the republicans are building towards a wave election whether takeback congress in november, or a sign that democrats are — in rates they have made recently — passing legislation in congress, inflation going down, the economy looking a little better and ab

and now florida projects val demings will win the florida primary and will challenge republican incumbent marco rubio. demings, a former police chief, served in the house since 2018. staying in florida, cnn projects charlie chris will be the democratic nominee in the governor race. he will face ron desantis in the coming race in november, just 11 weeks away. coming once again from washington, republican commentator alice stewart, and chris -- . great if you could stick around and stay with us. and we'll have a softspoken -- charlie crist, republican turned democrat, up against ron desantis, republican governor, who many believe will believe will try to run for the presidential nomination in 2020. four and on that, is charlie crist. >> make no mistake about it, this guy wants to be president of the united states of america, and everyone knows it. however, when we defeat him on november 8th that show is over. >> so, christine, you get first go this hour. in so many ways, these two candidates cannot be more different if they tried. it seems though that chris is trying to get motivate the bay

how deep is it in florida? >> it's pretty bad, victor, and, you know, right now what we're seeing in florida is about a week and a half ago, there were 8,000 teacher vacancies, as students were preparing to come back. there's also nearly 6,000 vacancies among our support staff, our bus drivers, our catch cafeteria workers, paraprofessionals, who support, and make sure our kids are getting the education they deserve and need. >> that's important because it's not just about the staff inside the classroom. it's everyone around the student that not just florida but states across the country, they're struggling with. i imagine you heard the report from alison kosik there about why generally teachers are leaving. is that the focus of what you're hearing from teachers across the state of florida? >> absolutely, you know, here in the state of florida, and alisyn hit it right on the head, low pay. you know, the more experience you have in florida, we call it the teacher experience penalty, the more experience you have,

we see it in the enthusiasm, the fund-raising, the question is, can she out florida florida? that's what we're all wondering. florida will break your heart, take it from me. >> it's what it does. it's what florida does. unless obama is on the ticked, florida is going to hurt your feelings. two of my faves, thank you both very much. >> all right, coming up next, a zero interest in policy, check. a relentless thirst for power? check. a slavish devotion to check. check. so what would the house of representatives led by kevin mccarthy look like? brace yourselves because that's next. and you can find her, and millions of other talented pros, right now on upwork.com as someone with hearing loss i know what a confusing and frustrating experience getting hearing aids can be. that's why i founded lively. affordable, high-quality hearing aids with all of the features you need, and none of the hassle. i use lively hearing aids and it's been wonderful. it's so light and so small but it's a fraction of the cost of the other devices. they cost thousands less. it's insanely user friendly. y

that means teachers are underpaid in florida. but this is happening in other parts of the country as well. we know the student loan forgiveness is a great plan. it's going to help to put money back in the economy. it's going to lift people up. that's what we need. we need a country and community and states that are lifting everybody up. i'm super proud that's happening. >> you mentioned you grew up in hialeah, dade county, daughter of honduran immigrants. florida is home to a large immigrant and foreign-born population. how do you believe your background, your influence will help shape policy in florida, help you connect in a way that perhaps any other lieutenant governor in your view may not have been able to do if elected? >> well, thank you so much. absolutely, i am latin american. i was born in hialeah. fluent in both languages, spanish and english. i think the problems or the issues that working families, working people are bringing to the table are going to be addressed because they're already at the forefront. they are at

petersburg, florida. it is a big race. highly anticipated as democrats try to curb desantis' hopes not just for florida, but potentially nationally for the republican nomination for president. >> reporter: right. one campaign staffer i spoke to last night as they were partying, celebrating the win said now the real work begins. and already today even on cnn we heard congressman charlie crist making his argument, making his case to a national audience, saying, look, governor ron desantis, he's widely accepted to be someone who has his eye on the white house for 2024. and crist is saying he wants to stop him in november. sort of slow him down. and is asking democrats outside of florida to help him do that. so we're already seeing him try to raise money to go up against desantis in november, who, by the way, has $132 million saved for that general election. so he's not wasting time in fund-raising and he's certainly not wasting time in attacking governor ron desantis. listen to him and what he said last night. >> this guy wan

he now calls florida home. he used to brag that all roads to the white house lead to florida. it may actually be literally that in 24. in terms of the governor, governor desantis i think has the greatest story going, florida story. a sea of calm and positivity in the -- in covid. he's on his job of managing the state, the recent budget had record amounts for not just education and the environment encoding 500 million dollars for the everglades but also tax relief and $20 billion for the rainy day reserve. his record is really good, but beyond that he is sending a message that the republican base is really liking. a message that shows that the party itself has moved from being a party of big business to america's working class. and you see that in microcosm for the viewers, take a look at miami-dade. in miami-dade, where president biden one by seven points back in 2020, it's been decidedly moving in miami-dade towards their publican party. registration in the state for the first time ever is majority republican their predictions miami-dade could go for the republican party nomi

from new york, florida and beyond. all in starts right now. >> good evening from new york i'm chris hayes. we do have a lot going on as you can see from the bottom of your screen there. it is primary election night three states, new york florida, and oklahoma. polls of just closed in florida and oklahoma, to be closing in for new york at 9 pm. new yorkers if he's still watching this 11 hour to vote. florida i can tell you that and d. c. news projects that former governor ankara congressman charlie crist as the project tick leader winner of the -- he will be then be running against ron desantis charlie crist for his old job as governor of florida. congresswoman val demings is the projected winner of the democratic primary for senate. she will face off in a row marquee senate race for against marco rubio since november. steve no he will be here to take us through all the races, to watch in just a little bit but, the news continues to break. two weeks now since the fbi searched donald trump's home at mar-a-lago, with ever

i'm a florida yan. floridians want decency, they want kindness, they want good teachers for their schools, they want safe communities for their children. i'm the former attorney general, the top kopf this state. you know, i know how to do this. i've done it before. i've stood up for women, i've stood up for african americans, i fought for automatic restoration of rights for 155,000 returning, you know, citizens, returning felons, frankly, because they paid their debt to society and i like god and i learned in sunday school believe in forgiveness. it's called doing the right thing. do what's right for people instead of doing what's right for ron desantis' political future. i mean, give me a break. this guy is walking on the backs of my fellow floridians to try to get to the white house. he thinks my florida is a stepping stone. florida is a special place. she is not a stepping stone. and we need to do what's right for the sunshine state and what's right for the sunshine state is to put this guy down on n

frost of florida. thank you very much, this is your third time you are here when your campaign began. you were here last night on the very last minute of your campaign. how did you do it? 25 year old convinces that congressional district, how did you do? >> it just wasn't me, it was a movement the -- the volunteers, at the end of the day it is our message it is a hopeful message, the one that says that no matter who you are, you deserve health care, years of good job, you deserve a union, you deserve the right to an abortion. these are the things that we talk about in this district. the other thing is, looking at the context of this campaign. we won this in the midst of a dark year in florida because of governor ron desantis. it was hoped despite that. i truly believe that is why we won this race and why we won the general election. >> did the right wing approach of the governor actually helped energize your campaign? >> you know, i think what it did is set the stage for this righteous anger that our f

ago for the primary in florida. also, they opened at 6:00 here in new york. >> brian: several key races unfolding in florida and new york, including the battle to decide who will challenge florida governor ron desantis this november. >> katie: todd piro joins us live with more. todd? >> todd: good morning to all three of you. let's start in the empire state. long time congress members jerry nadler and carol malone squaring off in the heated 12th district race. one will have decades long run. meantime democratic chair patrick maloney facing alexandra who is accusing malone of wasting on backing maga candidates in the primaries. in the florida battle for the senate. congresswoman val demings is the frontrunner in the democratic primary to challenge senator marco rubio. this as the state's democratic primary for governor pits charlie crist, a former governor as a republican against agriculture commissioner nikki freed. only elected democrat. the winner will face off against ron desantis in november. on the republican s

i am here in sarasota, florida. i'm outside this bar and grill and this is one of several stops that governor desantis will be making today to promote his education agenda. as you know, public education here in florida has become highly politicized. as teachers and students head back to the classroom, there is a lot of confusion as to some of the new legislation that is passed. specifically the parents parental rights of education law. this is also called the don't say gay law. the so-called don't say gay law. it involves teaching things like gender identity, and a sexual orientation to kindergarten through age three. this law bans that. what it also does, though, is it can enable parents to actually sue teachers for teaching material that the parents deem inappropriate. and again, this is causing a lot of confusion. it's causing a lot of fear for teachers who are fair potential lawsuits. each district here in the state of florida is trying to deal with implementing these new state standards. but earlier this week,

versus in florida, still florida never really closed. the whole country basically flocked to florida, not just for the beautiful beaches, but for the great business climate and everything else down there. business has been booming really since the middle of 2020. the whole country has been coming there. governor desantis has had our back the last few years. people feel safe in the florida cities. so, really a night and day difference between the states. >> carley: absolute night and day difference. thank god greg irvin has two restaurants one in florida and one in texas as well. check out these statistics that show the number of people going out to eat in 2020 -- or 2019 compared to now, down 54% in minneapolis. san francisco down 45%. portland 45%, seattle 40%, seattle 39%, these are huge numbers. and what do all these cities have in common? complete lockdown and crime is surging every single one of them. >> todd: i would go so far to safe expect that pattern to accelerate. restaurants have really small margins to begin with and riots,

we have to help florida out. all across the country, we need to do everything we can to help florida out because val demings and charlie crist. >> the triumbred of despair. jamie harrison, thank you so much. he ka imto talk tonight. let's bring in congresswoman val demings after her big -- i still call you congresswoman. congratulations on last night. what do you think that the message that voters are sending in choosing you, in choosing charlie crist out of the pack of candidates in each of your races. what message are you hearing in these elections? >> joy, it's great to be back with you. listen, i could listen to our chairman jamie harrison when he's talking the talk he's talking tonight. look, we lon the primary, a four-way primary with 84 plus percent of the vote. i think the voters of florida sent a strong message that they want someone who is going to fight for them. we are fighting. as my friend and former colleague john lewis said, for the very soul of our nation. when people think it's okay to take away

florida comes in at number 46. another clue as to why florida continues to thrive. liz? elizabeth: great report, ashley. good to see you. joining us now economic pro mitch rochelle with mack troh trends advisors and chris bedford, "the federalist." good to see you gentlemen both very much. the white house blaming downgraded forecast on pandemic, russia, ukraine, republicans and trump. initially predicted 6.6 inflation. it is running at a 40-year high, 8.6. what do you make of all of this? >> i thought when they were all running around last week saying that inflation was zero it is amazing when they realized that they were wrong they crawled back into their holes. the reality on the ground inflation is here. it is sticky. there are any number of forces that are continuing to drive up prices that every single american pays. you know, they love to talk about following the science and following economists. the reality is it is hard to find an economist who doesn't think that inflation will be here for quite a while. elizabeth: so what mitch just said, chris, there is no whit

how big of a deal is florida? do they need florida to hold onto the senate? geoff: florida is a big state with a lot of media markets. gary fineout, thank you so much for your reporting and for your insights. gary: thank you. geoff: in may 2017, richard collins iii was days away from graduating bowie state university and had just been commissioned into the u.s. army. when he was iting at a campus bus stop after visiting friends, a white university of maryland student approached collins and stabbed him to death after ordering him to move out of the way. his killer had links to a white supremacist group and was sentenced to life in prison for what prosecutors said was a racially motivated hate crime. for years, the collins family has been pushing arlington national cemetery to have their son buried among the heroes there. a request that has repeatedly been denied. as rick and dawn collins told me, it's a battle they'll keep fighting to honor their son. dawn: we feel that our son was at the pinnacle of life and that he should receive all military honors. he took

that's what desantis has brought to florida. florida deserves better than that. we need to protect a woman's right to choose. i'm the only candidate in this race as governor who has actually vetoed an anti-abortion bill. i've got 100 percent rating from mayor, all from planned parenthood, and on the first day of the second kristen ministration, i will sign an executive order that makes sure we protect the women's white -- right to choose in the sunshine state. it's imperative. >> respectfully, congressman, you lost a senate race to mark -- he lost a governor's race and a senate race to rick scott as a democrat. why should voters trust you lead? >> because i won state -- three times. i want to ask government, attorney general. i have one as the commissioner of education. my congressional seat on the first democrat to take that seat since 1955. i can reach across the aisle. i can bring people together. we can win this thing. that was in the tampa bay market, the largest media market in the state of florida. i'm ready for the job. we will do the right thing. we will

a lot of crime coming off of two years of lockdowns versus in florida, florida never really closed. the whole country basically flocked to florida, not just for the beautiful beaches but the great business climate and everything else down there. business has been booming since the middle of 2020. the whole country has been going there and governor desantis has had error back the last few years. people feel safe in the florida city. really a night and day different between the states. >> carley: the number of daily diners in minneapolis is down 54%. that means less than half of the people eating out in 2019 are eating out now. why is that? is it crime, covid, what is going on here? >> right now i think it is crime and the idea it was covid, i think that was mainly a democrat talking point for a couple of years because florida, we never saw that. we reopen in mid-2020 and we were doing fine down there. and in minneapolis what we are seeing is a lot of places in the suburbs are doing very well. but people coming into the city of minneapolis what used to be really the heart of the whole

a lot of across the country are watching that in florida. the general election for florida senate begins in earnest. the nation is watching, we know it could mean the difference between passing the agenda or stalling it out. when it comes to the gubernatorial race, the reason they pay so much attention is because the sitting incumbent ron desantis is also being a possible 2020 forget. he has to first get by the democratic nominee for governor in florida, and yesterday charlie crist emerged from the field. the task ahead of him is monumental. he will have to overcome a $130 million handicap when it comes to fundraising so far. the governor has not this in or mislead so far by traveling around the country. crystal also somehow have to overcome a registration deficit that democrats have been losing. turnout on tuesday for the primary, democrats turned out 1.5 million voters, the same number they turned out five years ago even though florida has grown by nearly 20%. meanwhile, republicans turned out 1.6 million, even though they didn't have a si

looking at today's primary races, new york and florida, which are you keeping an eye on? >> boy, the battle between jerry nadler and carolyn maloney is one of the biggest matchups. two titans of the democratic party going up against each other. it does look like jerry nadler has the advantage in the polling, and certainly after getting chuck schumer's endorsement and the endorsement of "the new york times." that is going to be one of the big races. the new york-19 special election, as you guys were talking earlier, this is the one test between republicans and democrats in one of the biggest swing districts in the entire country. it'll give a little bit of a temperature gauge on what the political mood is looking like in the run-up to the midterm elections. >> yeah, and there's that interesting race down in florida, the democratic challenges to try to take on governor ron desantis. either of them would go in as an underdog. tell us how you see that race shaping up. >> they would. ron desantis is a very formidable figure in florida, but he is also looking to run up the scor

florida is ground zero for the climate crisis. it's something i've been working on for three and a half years, as the commissioner of agriculture. we're seeing hotter summers. we're seeing wetter winters, and making sure that we're about to have a 30 year anniversary of hurricane andrew. i was born and raised in miami. we all thought that was going to be a once in a lifetime storm, and unfortunately we're seeing this happen in almost every single year, threatening the united states. these are important issues that we're seeing all across the state, every time that it rains, not just these mass rainstorms, but every time it rains you're seeing flooding. and personally are seeing a lot of this flooding happening in minority communities, where they haven't had the money and resources. so we're -- working with the state government, with the local government, and of course the federal government to take these resources and put them in the communities that are going to need it the most. we're ready for this influx of this climate change
