that man's name is andrew warren. for six years, warren has refused to enforce laws that george soros doesn't like. today that ended. watch. >> the prosecutor, state attorney for this judicial circuit, andrew warren, has put himself publicly above the law. in june of 2021, he signed a letter saying he would not enforce any prohibitions on sex exchange for minors. most recently after the dobbs decision was rendered by the u.s. supreme court, he signed a letter saying he would not enforce any laws relating to protecting the right-to-life in the state of florida. mind you, we've had prohibition on third trimester abortions for a long time. when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty, you have neglected your duty, and you are displaying a lack of competence to be able to perform those duties. so today we are suspending state attorney andrew warren effective immediately. >> jesse: so to be clear, in case you missed civics class, prosecutors don't get to make the laws. prosecutors enforce the laws. the

and andrew warren has done that for six years. and by the way,e the list the governor dissenters just read , it's just partial. and warren also decided that hes would not enforce hb one .ed that's the law that increased penalties for rioters. warren refused too prosecute sixty seven blm riders in the summer of 2020. he said there have been noer breach of the peace in tampa when there most certainly had been. but he decidedede to ignore it because he agreed with their politics. tlre recently, warren declined to prosecute a gang member accused of shooting into a house with childrenchil inside after shooting somebody else. turns out the gang member was oppressed and of course, also likely a biden voter. so heho got a pass. people who aren't biden voters have had a much tougher time inr andrew warren's jurisdiction since christians, for example, tadrew warren considers them criminals. two years ago,mp warren hadhe a tampa pastor arrested forgged the crime of holding a church service and he bragged about it. watch a defiant florida past

joining me now is the hillsborough county state attorney suspended by desantis, andrew warren.ing? >> well, the governor has violated two laws, one, he's retaliated against me for speaking out against him in violation of my first amendment rights, and he's abused the power that he has under the florida constitution to suspend an elected official. so we're fighting back to make sure that even though ron desantis is governor, the first amendment still has meaning. the florida constitution still has meaning and elections still have meaning. >> you're filing a motion in court, federal court, on what grounds exactly? >> well, there are two grounds, one is a first amendment claim because he's violating my first amendment rights, and the first amendment applies to everybody, that's the beauty of t that's why they put it up front in the constitution, too. the second claim is basically just to have the court admit and show that what he's done abuses his authority under the florida constitution. he can't just suspend an election, he can't just throw out people's votes because he disagree

andrew warren was suspended or fired even i think from his job by the governor.e spoke out and said that he was not going to prosecute people who are violating the law. those who were coming forward he was not going to prosecute those providing abortions. and it's a very interesting approach. because what has happened now is he has made such a mess that andrew warren is now in federal court suing under the first amendment saying he has a right to speak out and say that the law should not be enforced. that women should have the right to have an abortion. and that is an interesting issue because it raises the first amendment question saying that you have the right to an abortion and he has the rights to not prosecute. there are places where there so many other serious crimes that are being committed and they simply don't have the person power to prosecute them. there are other places like michigan and georgia that literally do not want to prosecute in certain counties. doctors or women getting abortions. >> and a hearing is set as we mentioned today. the near total

andrew warren, thank you for being part of the show. you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> look, the context is as clear as the latest republican polling, by the way. governor desantis is the only republican besides donald trump with double digit support for the 2024 nomination. look at that, it is an inverse, 33, 44. look, i can do math everybody. i call to immerse. why is upon laughing? of course, i can do math. -- i get it,, listen -- governor desantis essentially had someone suspended and escorted out the building because he won't, eventually, look at a case in his mind, case by case, and doesn't intend to follow with the supreme court says he is supposed to follow or not follow. what is your thought? >> two takeaways, laura. number one, that governor desantis used the word woke in that speak, very intentionally. if there is a 2024 presidential primary, being tough on wokeness will be just as important as being tough on crime or china. i think a lot of things that governor desantis does going forward will have to be looked at thr

this comes after desantis removed state attorney andrew warren from office claiming he's ignoring florida abortion laws. kelsey kernstine explains. >> the governor conveniently ignored that because it doesn't fit his agenda for running for president and now suspended florida prosecutor taking the fight to governor ron desantis speaking with news nations, dan abrams, andrew warren says desantis is trying to overturn an election. this is a flagrant violation of one of the most fundamental values democracy. governor desantis is temporarily suspending worn in office because he says he will not prosecute cases for people seeking abortions or gender affirming care for minors. we don't elect people in one part of the state to have veto power over what the entire state decides on these important issues. >> the constitution of florida has vested the veto power in the governor following the overturn of roe versus wade. warren is one of 90 elected prosecutors in the nation who promised not to prosecute cases for those who want provide abortions. >> and law enforcement and warns own jurisdiction stan

he suspended this liberal state attorney andrew warren, he is basically hijacking, setting aside theout refusing to enforce abortion restrictions. he was picking and choosing what state laws to enforce. put himself above the law and above voters. >> exactly. of course ron desantis did the right thing here. the state attorney should be suspended if he is not willing to do his job by enforcing the law. what makes the story significant in my mind, far too many republicans are too weak or cowardly to take the kind of actions desantis just took. there are many red state governors that basically sit back and do nothing as these liberal george soros funded state attorneys, like you said, pick and choose which laws they want to follow and which ones they don't want to enforce. in fact a couple of days ago, 88 elected prosecutors, mostly attorneys general and district attorneys signed a letter vowing not to enforce anti-abortion laws. many prosecutors come from red states like texas and georgia. so the big question here is, why aren't governors like brian kemp or greg abbott doing the same th

florida governor ron desantis has suspended tampa selected state prosecutor andrew warren. >> pledgingforce the state's new abortion ban. the announcement was made today during a news conference where desantis criticized him for not prosecuting certain crimes and for supporting gender transition treatments for minors. warren, the attorneys, a democrat, the selected tampa's state attorney in 2016 2020 his office called the suspension a politically motivated attack from governor desantis because he said they say he wants to be a dictator. >> coming up, the officers involved in the fatal shooting of breonna taylor are now facing federal charges. as the day wakes up. and that voice begs you to quit. as the pain sets in. and the hill grows steeper. no matter what, we go on. biofreeze. when the doubt sets in. when the heart kicks. and legs pound. when muscles burn. and belief tires. no matter what, we go on. biofreeze. >> the department of justice has announced federal charges against 4 current and former louisville kentucky police officers connected to the death of breonna taylor. this mark

so today we are suspending state attorney andrew warren effectively immediately. >> florida governor ay in little job despite the governor's orders. great to have you this morning. how does that work out this morning? when sis is going to stay in the job. ron desantis has removed him from his office. how does that work going forward? >> he's no longer the state attorney in that jurisdiction. governor ron desantis is the chief executive of florida. he has a duty to make sure the laws are faithfully reinforced across the state. he felt, based on prior statements, they wouldn't enforce the law. prior actions the law enforcement said they couldn't get their case is resolved effectively for the safety of the community, governor desantis made that decision for the interest of the state of florida in that community that he would remove him. he has signed that order. so is no longer the state attorney. >> compelling statement it last night. you cannot pick and choose which laws you enforced. here though now is what andrew warren is saying producing today tish is calling it a political stunt,

the state attorney is andrew warren. a state attorney for hillsborough county.is. worn on the election twice as a democrat. most recently two years ago. >> when you frequently violate your oath of office you make yourself about the law. you have violated your duty. you have neglected your duty. you are displaying a lack of confidence. to be able to reform those duties. >> warren was one of several prosecutors who signed a letter declaring they would not press charges against people who seek or provide abortions. this was right after the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. it wasn't about just abortion. warren has angered the governor in florida conservative several times. in april 2020 he supported the arrest of a mega-church pastor who broke all the rules by holding in person gatherings. once later he declined to prosecute dozens of people that people that police arrested during the george floyd protest. last year he vowed not to go over after doctors that vowed not to provide gender affirming care. >> florida law allows worn to appeal the governor's deci

continues his crackdown on local government officials announcing the suspension of state attorney andrew warrenline prosecutors says he thinks he can pick and choose which laws. and he actually signed letters saying he would enforce laws against transgender surgeries for minors. laws protecting the light gray to light for the law is presumptively enforced. that's not something that is acceptable. speak a more governors do that? >> would knit up here in the state of new york? look, it doesn't matter. whether you agree with the laws are not, whether you agree with them. they are the laws but they need to be enforced and that is your job, to enforce such jobs and prosecute people that violate them. if you're not willing to do your job as this individual in florida. you're out of here and come yet, thought, wouldn't it be nice if we sell more people do this? more governors to controls and say if you're not willing to do your job you're out. command has it hurt the american people. and all across our california. i wish we some more of this action taken. maybe it would be better for all of us. >> sta

andrew warren was fired from his job by ron desantis, the governor. he spoke out and said he was not going to prosecute people who are violating the law so to speak. he was not going to prosecute people who are providing abortions. women who are getting abortions. and that is a very interesting approach. what has happened now is that he has made such a met there in federal court suing under the first amendment of the united states constitution. saying he is right to keep it there. that's a very interesting issue. it raises the first amendment of the constitution. saying that you have a right to an abortion and he has the right to not prosecute. there are places where there are so many other serious crimes are being committed and they simply don't have the person power to prosecute them. there other places like michigan and georgia the don't want to prosecute in certain counties. >>> the leaked footage of the finished prime minister continues to cause a stir. he is pushing back against criticism sparked by the video showing her at a party. she says it

. >> ashley: andrew warren did not provide specifics how he would fight his suspension last week, governorto enforce florida laws. >> andrew warrant has put himself publicly above the law. he signed a letter saying he would not enforce any laws relating to protecting the right to life. we are not going to let that get a foothold in the state of florida. speed to a group of sheriff's backing over his decision to drop charges against 67 people arrested during the riots that broke out in 2020 after george floyd's death. >> todd: the question becomes, on what grounds should warrant say i should hold on to my job? a lot of people said he was duly elected and you can't just kick him out! he was duly elected but keep in mind he was duly elected to enforce the laws of florida. if he refuses to enforce the laws of florida, then he should no longer have a position. that is strictly what desantis is pointing out here. >> ashley: right. when it goes back to the sheriff backing this because of the 67 people basically released without anything after the riots in 2020, it is concerning because i can see

on thursday ron desantis of florida, he suspended progressive prosecutor in tampa bay named andrew warrenecute any of florida's abortion laws, that heed had taken a policy stance that something like fleeing from police officers were also not to be prosecuted in certain cases. and so now there's a political battle playing out will. similar in new york. lee zeldin, the gubernatorial candidate, is promising on day one that he will fire the progressive prosecutor for manhattan. and so the soros money may still be there to fun these campaigns, but if the voters aren't, you won't see them elected anymore. jer and chesa buy -- chesa boudin already out in that election. we've. -- is this a big political opportunity for republicans, do you think, in the fall and beyond? >> yeah, absolutely, especially if they keep serving this message. look, it took a while for the public to catch on to the fact that this was not just about police departments, it was about these liberal prosecutors as well. the police are function as well as it might, but if you're not going to actually lock people up, it sends th

i see through the statement to prosecute and then the final point, the first identity on andrew warren twitter was criminal justice reform. so we didn't even identify as the prosecutor of that state, which by the way, the sole arm of the prosecute to rural realm is the state attorney peer that is only vehicle the governor has it that state level to prosecute crime. when someone absolutely neglect their duty and demonstrate that incompetent set out in that order, what other choice does the governor have? >> kayleigh: exactly and for viewers the abortion law band after 15 weeks and it exception for the life of the mother, et cetera. and also to know women are not prosecuted. they key tentative pro-life movement and the victims themselves but doctors, it is about 15 weeks, we know "the wall street journal" 48% of americans support 43%. again, the lawless state attorney now functional detail of state law is what governor gascon said. governor desantis said to. >> your job is to enforce the law. this was a george soros affect individual the state attorney we are discussing. we have seen wha

liz: governor desantis got rid of prosecutor andrew warren and suspended him and nonstop politicizing the justice system in tampa picking and choosing which laws are valid and which laws he'll refuse to enforce and laws he doesn't like. you were the victim of an attack. what are your thoughts about the story? >> if you want to be a district attorney, then you have to understand that da stands for that, doesn't stand for defense attorney. if you see that there's a law that's on the books that you disagree with as a da, you bring your argument to the state capitol and you can advocate for a change in a law. till that law's changed, you have a duty to uphold the laws of your state. as we're seeing in florida, we're seeing in california, we certainly have it in manhattan with the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, people have decided on their own as the prosecutor, they're just not going to enforce all different laws across the board and others they'll treat as lesser offenses. there needs to be consequences for that because they're not upholding their oath. liz: excuse me, congress

today, we are suspending state attorney andrew warren effective immediately. >> shannon: kevin, whate do governors have if they are looking at prosecutors are finding that they simply aren't willing to do the job? >> shannon, that's a good question. that specifically in florida, the governor you play the clip both. state attorney not enforcing the 15 week abortion ban and protections against transgender children. if that wasn't about violent crime in hillsborough county florida. so, i think that's a separate conversation we can have whether it's the role of the governor to replace these local law enforcement officers elected by the people of the county to serve. it lets a separate conversation and the violent crime we are seeing spiking across the board. john's points a good one. minority americans in all areas need to feel safe within their communities but we have to have an honest conversation about the rise in crime across the board. eight of the ten states with the highest per capita murder rate are states that voted for donald trump. when you total up the states and look at them
