florida resident has cast a single vote. why? they canceled their democratic primary, so biden will literally be the only democrat on the ballot during the florida primary. one member of the florida democratic partyd this: this is not what presidential candidates should do. about the disgusting steps the florida democratic party is taking. and that's what happened, representatives of the florida democratic party contacted three candidates on wednesday, november 29, the day before the deadline for the party to send the names of candidates who were supposed to appear in electoral, but they were informed that the executive committee of the party. the state has already gathered for the state congress on october 29 and has already submitted its candidacies. the approved list of candidates was submitted to the secretary of state on november 1. the deadline is november 30th, but unbeknownst to anyone other than the florida democratic party members, they had already held their convention on october 29th, they were like, look, we've already voted and biden got all the votes. they canceled their own. biden will be the only one. this is incredibly authoritarian and undemocratic. does it mean the virtual abo

jacqui heinrich was pressing the white house on this issue of the florida democratic party's decision president biden's name on the ballot for their march primary. >> does the florida party effectively cancel the democratic primary also constituted voter suppression? >> i can't speak to that? >> why not? >> you have to speak to the dnc. >> does the white house have any thoughts on those voters being -- >> i can't speak to that. >> is it the hatch act or -- >> you're talking about 2024 election. i'm not going to speak to that from here. >> martha: can that we bring in ronna mcdaniel. great to have you with us today. can you explain a little bit to people what is happening in florida? we hear so much about the damage that is done to democracy and how important it is for people to vote and get out the vote and yet there's two people that are running in the democratic primary and they decided you won't have that choice in florida. >> not only that, they changed their primary calendar, doing everything that they can to ensure this from biden. that moved from iowa to new hampshire to south

don't know quite the particulars behind it and we did get a statement from the florida democratic partyfirst, congressman dean phillips. good to have you. what happened? >> well, neil, they didn't give the finger to me, they gave the finger to americans. it's an affront to democracy. everybody in our country right now knows there's something terribly, terribly wrong and i believe it's time for principled republicans, principled democrats to look into this, to participate, demand change and do something about this because we should heed the call of george washington in his farewell address when he warned our great country about the risk of factions, i'm seeing up front and clear, with the disenfranchisement, and the suppression of debate-- >> you're not on the fact. this comes back to the fact that you're not on the florida ballot. did they tell you why? >> no. we know-- neil, we know how it works. sadly i'm discovered how it works and make it transparent to everybody watching. we're entrusting, allowing a handful of people across the country to make decisions for all of us, when democra

worried that texas might tip over to the democratic party if too many young people who typically vote 60/40 democratic moved to texas? the same thing could happen to floridacratic before it was a republican state. so i don't know whether or not this is going to portend a change in the states or whether or not democrats are really going to lose voters and seats. these states are certainly going to lose states, no question about it. >> kellyanne: it is fascinating. our own sean hannity fact-checked gavin newsom in real time when he claimed that there is not blue to red state migration. there certainly is from california to florida and other states, and i think according to the policies you both cited. david, given your work on these projects in the past, what are you looking for demographically that has changed? we seem to be a much more diverse society. when they are deciding how many districts each state has, and when the parties are trying to gerrymander and redistrict those districts, what should we be looking out for in the next couple of years? >> i think mark brings up a really good point. what about the politics? politics are often driven by life ci

but, when the allegation is against florida democrats, silence not in florida where the state's partyays biden's race is uncontested. >> handful of people in florida made a determination that joe biden won the primary election in florida. he will get all the delegates, which is more than eight states combined. that's what happened. >> phillips now crying voter suppression. a restriction biden blasted as jim crow in the 21st century on white house letterhead after georgia passed laws imposing voter i.d., limiting drop boxes and giving state officials more control. no similar outrage for democratic party leaders. >> the florida party then effectively canceling the democratic primary. >> i can't speak to that. >> karine did speak to that after the georgia midterms. >> you reported this there was suppression. >> republicans calling foul. >> they changed their whole primary calendar. now they are keeping names off the ballot. there is no debate. of course, they are saying that the republicans are a threat to democracy. >> phillips says he will sue. biden also has a brewing problem with swi

it was not california versus florida, it was democratic party auditioning hopefully their newest star desantis. >> ainsley: yeah, when you look at the national gas prices, we were energy independent and now we're not because he closed down pipelines on day one. current national average is $3.25 now. the curt florida average is $3.17. tyrus, i read your book and know your story, i remember the days i had to use change in my ash tray in my car and go into the gas station and say put $.70 in this, i get paid tomorrow, enough to get me through thursday. >> i remember telling my friends, pony up, can i get $4 on pump 20, please. california gas has always been ridiculous in california, but outrageous now. >> ainsley: desantis mentioned going to the grocery store and seeing a woman have to put groceries back. >> desantis was talking from boots on the ground, he is seeing this stuff and talked to people who moved from california to florida. >> ainsley: great to see you, have a wonderful weekend. >> tyrus: tell brian kilmeade he is in trouble for calling me cute on national television. >> ains

florida. because the democratic party says so.i with most it's bad enough, it's hard enough, and were to get on the ballot in all 50 states it's hundreds of thousands of dollars. the system is rigged so that only those who have a lot of money or access to a lot of money can even get anywhere near the pentacles of power in this country. and that is why we have the problems that we have. so even if you like private money on getting it done i'm getting done and you come to students as i don't have much, the democratic party didn't wanb so you will not be on the ballot. once again on the one way to handle this, that is to listen at the ballot box. because nevada is early, that's the thing. new hampshire, south carolina, nevada and michigan. if you hit it hard in the state since it actually we choose a different conversation, then that will open up so much possibility. because among other things a will open up so many fundraising possibilities and with that fundraising comes the opportunity to media, every other way to run a a campaign

democratic side. the party is having kind of just a primary in name only at this point it doesn't seem like it's going to matter that much as state parties elsewhere like florida printing ballot without every candidates' names on them. dean phillips democrat in florida said americans would expect the absence of democracy in tehran not tallahassee. of the disenfranchisement of voters runs counter to everything for which our democratic party and country stand. president biden doesn't campaign much at all. except for some closed door fundraisers and yet, at this point, he sees the primary process as a punch line, making this crack last night about the entertainer, billy crystal. >> promise me he is not going to primary me. [laughter] he could win. >> pete: and there is nothing on president biden's schedule today. later on tonight he will host a congressional ball here at the white house. that is closed press. back to you. >> peter to the point about how you spent essentially a couple of years in iowa covering politics here. what is the name of the place that has the really good morning chop that barack obama had it and said i have got to get the his pay. >> peter

ever red state/blue state debate. >> reporter: democrats drawn toumani's watch party in san francisco were eager for entertainment. >> california and floridare just like, they're considered like polar opposites kiept of. it's like a clash of the century kind of thing. >> reporter: desantis for the most part took jabs at california. >> you almost have to try to mess california up. that's what gavin newsom has done since he's been governor. >> reporter: while newsom, who claims he won't run in the next presidential election, took aim at desantis' flailing bid for the republican presidential nomination. >> but there's one thing in closing that we have in common is neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024. >> he's clearly been hanging out with middle schoolers, because that was truly -- >> he baited desantis into this. >> reporter: the co-author of the california politico playbook provided fact checked corrections to some of moderator sean hannity ice assertions about california's failures on crime and covid response. >> desantis is focused on this california takedown that might not bode well. it's interesting to me that that's

: that is at the lack of a plan b could be driving the party to kill any competition to the president is kind of the point, too. florida's democrat primary is over before a single vote has been cast. the state party submitted only joe biden's name for nomination. and that would snub congressman dean phillips and other 2024 contenders. phillips with a blistering response. americans would expect the absence of democracy in tehran, not tallahassee. ouch. axios now reporting house democrats are struggling with messaging on the economy. yeah, bidenomics don't work for the american people. some are ditching the bidenomics name, which failed to get any traction with voters in surveys, of course. president biden himself not using the term in speeches for more than a month now. hillary vaughn has more from capitol hill. hillary. bidenomics is gone? >> it is. because the bidenomics catch phrase was not catching on. instead it was ticking people off who felt it was tone deaf to the economic reality they're facing and a president not polling great in some polls, even trailing his competition according to democratic sources telling axios. sin

. >> gentleman from florida is recognized for one minute. >> the democrat party is telling us that theye about taxpayers, but the son of the president of the united states is a tax cheat. he ignored federal tax law on purpose. he laundered money through 20 llc, he concealed millions of dollars of overseas money, the only reason he was able to accomplish these feats of getting so much money into his company ss because the president is his father. there were 170 suspicious activity reports at the department of treasury, which we went and looked through, and every one of those reports said very clearly that there was evidence of money laundering and potentially tax evasion. there were hours of deposition. there's a web of llcs with company names that have no business interests whatsoever, and that we have finally uncovered one example, mr. speaker, $5 million from a foreign company, going to a joint venture partly controlled by hunter biden. next day, 400,000 goes from hunter biden to -- >> gentleman's time is expired. >> i'll yield the gentleman an additional 30 seconds. >> thank you. 400

democratic parties. >> mike: play a comment from florida governor ron desantis.t opens up pandora's box, can you have republican disqualify biden from the ballot? he's let in eight million people illegally. we win when we hold biden accountable and talk about issues that matter to the american people. democrats want the election to be about other issues, do not want to face accountability for failed policy. >> mike: juan, where are you on this ballot issue? >> juan: in the case of maine, it was right in the law, she has power of secretary of state and she looked at the law and said insurrection took place on january 6, 2021, there was violence at the capitol and she saw donald trump having a key role in the insurrection and said he can't run on the maine ballot. similar finding in colorado. problem for republicans, they say this is matter of politics. this is like a third world country pushing opponents off the ballot. i can't think of another country where a political leader try to overthrow the government and come say i am running for president. >> mollie: in t

that texasans goin tip r to the democratic party if too many youngmocratic people typicy vote 6040 democratic, moved to texaste? appen the same thing could happen to florida, which used to be a lot more democratoch used t, s a democratic state before it was a republican state. and so i don't know whether or not this is going to portend a changeortend. ts are r these states or whether or not democrats are really going to lose votersg to in states. a certainly these two states are going to lose lose seats, no question about it. >> it is fascinating on sean aby, fact checked gavinse newsom in real time when he claimedan hanavin new that to blue to red state migration. o r there certainly is. from california to florida and otheidr states.states and it goes, i think, according to the policies you both cited, on th . but, david, given your workes on these projects in the pas t, what are you looking for demographically that's changed? >> for demo we just seem to be a mh more diverse society when when whene they're making the whene e they're deciding how many districts eachciow state has and then when the party to try to gerrymander and redistrict those district

florida. caller: i am dumbfounded when some of the democrats get on here and they are anti-trump, anti-trump. anything the republican party does they will try to shoot down. we have to look at the facts. first off, reckless spending by joe biden. he's already spent a ton of money out to ukraine -- sent a ton of money to ukraine and all over the world. our southern border -- the donovan talked about -- the gentleman talked about sending the migrants up to cities like new york they claimed they were refugee cities. now they can't take it. it's the hypocrisy. we are for everybody, but don't send them to my city. we have a serious problem right now with inflation. you can't just start spending billions upon billions of dollars. your last caller from maryland said trump did nothing to secure the national border down south. what about the wall that got put up? all those miles of wall. all of a sudden joe biden comes in and starts taking it down. he starts selling office supplies so they cannot finish the wall. it is absolute insanity. the wall was our best protection. host: how do you know that, randy? what evidence do you have

candidates inside their own party, eugene, people can say, we would never win, fine, let the voter decide, he's been blocked off the ballot by the democratic national party in floridad elegant statement that this is not, you know, the political parties are billion dollar corporations i got imagine that are maneuvering things here. what the economy is doing pretty well, inflation is -- it is still high, but the rate of inflation is coming down, the housing market is up. record high stocks. asset owner, you've done very well, if you're a renter, it is tougher. what do you think is people's biggest beef with president biden? why is he polling so terribly? >> well, most people do mention age. that's a real concern for the average swing voter. but quite frankly, really depends on who you're talking to. demographically you got a lot of young voters who are upset with the administration being so supportive of israel when it comes to the war in gaza. you've got some swing voters who are republican or conservative leading independents, who just feel like the biden administration is actually too progressive on a number of issues. and the economy regardless of what the number

democrat party. or ssuch a player, for a presidential candidate florida governor ron desantis. >> it opens up pandora's you have a republican secretary of state disqualified biden from the bout because he has let in 8 million people illegally a massive invasion. i think we win when we hold biden accountable and talk about the issues that matter to the american people so they democrats want the election to be about all of these other issues they do not want to face accountability for their failed policies. mike: juan, wearing on the ballot issue? >> the problem here in the case of maine it was right in the law. she has the power as the secretary of state sheet looked at the law and said without a doubt it insurrection took place in this country and generally six, 2021. there is violence at the capitol she saw donald trump as having a key role in that insurrection therefore said he cannot run on the main ballot. there's a similar finding in colorado. the problem for republicans is they said this is a matter of politics. this is like a sum of third world country pushing your political opponents up the bal

florida seems to be working. >> the economy is good down there. >> on the flip side, the san francisco democratic party, said newsomwill highlight the strength of california's tech based economy and hit desantis on issues such as abortion and lgbtq rights. >> we're talking about providing the basics like health care, infrastructure, new jobs, energy . >> but there is one thing many agree on this will be a highly watched event. >> increasingly treated our politics like entertainment. and think something like the governor of california versus the governor of florida is something that audiences find entertaining. it's the pro wrestling version of democracy. guess fuentes, abc7 news. >> still ahead, envisioning the future of transportation in east contra costa county. we're going to tell you about these on demand autonomous vehicles and how they could help cut down on congestion and emissions. abc's seven news at five. but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning

florida, mr. donald. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized 1. mr. donalds: mr. speaker, the democratic party is telling us they care about taxpayers but the son of the president of the united states is a tax cheat. he ignored federal tax law on purpose. he laundered money through 20l.l.c.'s and concealed millions of dollars of overseas money and the only reason he was able to accomplish these feats of getting so much money into his companies is because the president is his father. that is it. if you're asking why we're looking for an impeachment inquiry, it's because there were 170 suspicious activity reports at the department of treasury which we went and looked through and every one of those reports said very clearly there was evidence of money laundering and potentially tax evasion. there were hours of depositions, there's a web of l.l.c.'s with company names that have no business interests whatsoever. we've finally uncovered one example, mr. speaker, $5 million from a foreign company going to a joint venture partly controlled by hunter biden. next day, $400,000 goes from hunter biden to

florida seems to be working. >> the economy is good down there. >> on the flip side, the san francisco democratic party, said newsom, will highlight the strength of california's tech based economy and hit desantis on issues such as abortion and lgbtq rights. >> we're talking about providing the basics like health infrastructure, new jobs, energy. >> but there is one thing many agree on this will be a highly watched event. >> increasingly treated our politics like entertainment. and think something like the governor of california versus the governor of florida is something that audiences find entertaining. it's the pro wrestling version of democracy. >> guess zach fuentes, abc7 news. >> san francisco police say retail thefts are dropping drastically thanks to undercover efforts. >> in fact, this week police made more than a dozen arrests. that was in a single operation. and now they're sending out basically a warning to shoplifters. abc7 news reporter tara campbell with the story. the message that we want to send is we want to discourage people from taking the chance. >> san francisco police chief william scott has

democrat politicians, and they have each individually ruled along lines . as we saw along party lines. as we saw exactly the same thing in the 2000 election, in which the floridamade up of a majority of democrat judges, ruled in favour of al gore, while the supreme court, a majority of appointed repubs , majority of appointed repubs, seven judges ruled in favour of george w bush. every single judge thought the law gave victory to the candidate of the party that had appointed them. the american system is therefore inherently politicised and no doubt when this case is taken to the supreme court, that is the us supreme court rather than a state court, it will rule again along . party lines, in which along. party lines, in which case donald trump will win and will be allowed to stand. but it does undermine the fairness of justice. if it's done politically. and i fear that the uk judiciary has become more political in recent years with the supreme the establishment of a supreme court deeply political court and some deeply political rulings, especially in the prorogation case. miller two, as it's known. and this judgement from colorado is a warning of the dangers of

florida resident. >> will donald trump be the nominee? >> yes. in the republican party, yes. and if biden stays as the nominee for the democratslieve donald trump will win. i believe that republicans will gain more seats in the house and republicans will win the senate. >> can he count on your support? >> yes. >> that's an endorsement? >> i will support the president -- i will support president trump. >> would you be willing to serve in a trump cabinet? >> in the right position. look, if i'm the best person for the job, yes. look, i worked with president trump on a lot of policies. we worked together to win the majority. but we also have a relationship where we're very honest with one another. >> reporter: that relationship with trump has become a central park of mccarthy's own political story. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. >> reporter: his stark reversal after the january 6 insurrection, going from blaming trump to standing with him, drew scorn from democrats and some republicans, who saw him rehabilitating a dangerous figure. >> you went to visit trump at mar-a-lago.

in florida and other places and we see people in the republican party just be silent and they are silent because unfortunately those are there voters, the same thing is happening with the democraticty, we see cease-fire marches, we see people of the crowd was sign saying kill the jewish people and cleanse the jewish people, we don't see a lot of people on the left: that out, the signs didn't happen, or posters of hostages being ripped off of light poles rub the country as if jewish people don't exist and need to be erased, we see people and left being quiet, we have to call it out. this cannot be normalized. so this is a bipartisan issue, we are losing bipartisanship in this country, it's unfortunate that the one place we see it is when you're an anti-semite. >> your two democratic colleagues introduce a resolution condemning hamas' use of sexual violence, do think there will be some democrats and vote against it? >> know i think they're awful for, because they saw what happened and see the, as well as clarification is extreme helpful but this is part of a pattern. is not just happening all of a sudden. it's a pattern, there's a double standard. even now israel has been criticize

from the democratic party, people on the left, people who maybe would be more moderate are trying to challenge him and they are frustrated. he was out this week talking about the fact that florida already given up all the delegates to joe biden is wrong, it's anti-democratic, does not go with the theory of democracy, but president biden's comments, it is true he has been running against maga republicans over the course of the last two elections and democrats has been successful in that language by putting trump at the pop of mind for democratic voters and saying we have to stop him. when it comes to biden himself saying he's the only guy who can do it or the reason he's in the race causes problems whether he should be replaced, a lot of ballot access issues have deadlines have passed already but of course there is a convention next summer and things can change between now and next august. >> john: trump was at a town hall with hannity last night, democrats warning and some republicans, liz cheney did, if trump gets in again he's going to be a dictator. watch this exchange. >> you are promising america tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against everybody. >> exce

florida. caller: i am dumbfounded when some of the democrats get on here and they are anti-trump, anti-trump. anything the republican partyoes they will try to shoot down. we have to look at the facts. first off, reckless spending by joe biden. he's already spent a ton of money out to ukraine -- sent a ton of money to ukraine and all over the world. our southern border -- the donovan talked about -- the gentleman talked about sending the migrants up to cities like new york they claimed they were refugee cities. now they can't take it. it's the hypocrisy. we are for everybody, but don't send them to my city. we have a serious problem right now with inflation. you can't just start spending billions upon billions of dollars. your last caller from maryland said trump did nothing to secure the national border down south. what about the wall that got put up? all those miles of wall. all of a sudden joe biden comes in and starts taking it down. he starts selling office supplies so they cannot finish the wall. it is absolute insanity. the wall was our best protection. host: how do you know that, randy? what evidence do you have t

democratic party, are owned lock, stock and barrel. . i -- get the schools open during covid. also to do universal school choice. every parent in florida has the right to send their kids to school of their choice. we are winning these fights. california is betting that need to that unit because they controlled the politicians. >> sean: let's move on. a topic that will seemingly play a very large role in the future elections and it is the issue of abortion. i have a question for both of you. i will ask you to please respect the individuals' right to answer uninterrupted. and that is, governor desanti desantis, i think it is actually your turn, governor newsom, if you don't mind, the most medical professionals believe the baby is viable outside of a mother's womb by those between 24 and 26 weeks. that is the general scientific consensus. it changes. there are some variations on it. abortion is legal in your state, up to the viability. that is my understanding, unless the mother's house is in danger. i would like to get you on the record, you have been unwilling to answer this question. do you, should there be any restrictions on the issu

florida on our democratic line. caller: good morning. mr. inskeep, looking at the politics of today, you should have differences, but how can one party work withother party when one candidate is a convicted rapist, tax fraud, insurrectionist who we know stole documents, shared national secrets? host: did you have questions for steve about lincoln or the book? caller: how can it work today when one party has a speaker of the house involved in overturning an election and whose leader now is engaged in insurrection? how can you possibly work differences out when one party is so corrupt? guest: i don't endorse your description of all the facts but i understand what you're saying, that the former president has been accused of a great number of things, and faces trial next year on a number of things and the court proceedings continue, but let's frame the question differently or look at the answer differently. it is certainly not possible for everybody in america to agree on everything and it would probably be bad if we did. how would that even happen? we have a free society where we come from different backgrounds and have many different ideas. it i

florida, mr. donald. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized 1. mr. donalds: mr. speaker, the democratic party is telling us they care about taxpayers but the son of the president of the united states is a tax cheat. he ignored federal tax law on purpose. he laundered money through 20l.l.c.'s and concealed millions of dollars of overseas money and the only reason he was able to accomplish these feats of getting so much money into his companies is because the president is his father. that is it. if you're asking why we're looking for an impeachment inquiry, it's because there were 170 suspicious activity reports at the department of treasury which we went and looked through and every one of those reports said very clearly there was evidence of money laundering and potentially tax evasion. there were hours of depositions, there's a web of l.l.c.'s with company names that have no business interests whatsoever. we've finally uncovered one example, mr. speaker, $5 million from a foreign company going to a joint venture partly controlled by hunter biden. next day, $400,000 goes from hunter biden to

florida the line for democrats good morning. >> is wondering how we the people could move more towards ballots and set of poles. we could be the bipartisan part of the party. >> are you talking about more referendums is that what you're saying? we are talking ballots who should be paying our taxes and who should it. things like that. ballots like here in florida that we did, our government chose to take them out. we chose to save wetlands our governor chose to go ahead and get rid of them. at least we know with the people stand for. >> yes i think we talk about initiatives and more like direct democracy where they have a direct input on specific decisions. that happens at the state level some states more than other states obviously. as i was saying before poles are important for decision-makers to understand the will of the people and what people think. it's an immediate right way i think you need both obviously. i think the back drop of this is that deep-seated system in general. we know based upon polling a simple majority of americans believe the system is broken that partisan politicians no longer care about people like them. that's a lot of what we a
