joining me now is andrew warren, florida prosecutor desantis is suspended last year.andrew, thank you so much for being here. i'm sure you have a lot of thoughts on what is happening. but i would ask, first, do you think the governor was emboldened by what he was able to do to you and effectively turn that into a playbook for other democrats working at the state level? >> absolutely. when i was suspended i said that. i said this was going to turn out bad for democracy in the state of florida if we couldn't win in court. and we still have a case pending, but certainly the governor has been -- he thinks he can get away with it. he's broken the law so many times as governor. he has violated his oath of office to protect floridians. and he keeps getting away with. it why would he stop now? >> what is secondarily striking about this is how little recourse there is to fight the governor on this. can you talk about the ways in which desantis has populated the institutions that might otherwise hold him a can double with his own allies? >> the governor has amassed power in a v

this is in the andrew warren case. i am hopeful that monique worrell will go to the state supreme court, even though five justices were appointed by ron desantis. i think she is a very good claim. she doesn't work for ron desantis. if he disagrees with her policies, then it's a matter for the voters. she ran on these policies, she was elected with 66.6% of the vote. and so if her constituents are upset with her, they should be the ones to decide. you should not have a governor making that decision for them. >> jay tom morgan and dave orenburg, thank you both for being with us. taking a look at los angeles, california, which forecasters say will be impacted by tropical storm hilary as we head to break. coming up, how we can ensure the most vulnerable among us survive climate disasters like this. that's later on politicsnation. stay tuned. stay tuned my frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. for one and done heart

i want to bring in hillsboro county state attorney andrew warren and you were ousted a year ago by governorreporting from steve, there and we -- i thought that this was another unconstitutional legal attack by a small and scared man who's desperate to save his flounder campaign. he's acting like he is a bully but in reality he is a coward he is violating the rule of law and the will of the voters in florida to conceal its own weakness. >> the governor has said that this was because of problems on the job, not doing your duty. and he said the same thing about farrell. you've been fighting to get your job back i think for your. now and we have reached out to desantis, tonight, for comments on the latest developments. and we have not yet heard back but here's what he said about suspending your year ago. all we have to. this he said the state attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in the law. not to pick and choose which ones to enforce based on a personal agenda. he said, today, he suspended the neglected duty and incompetence. what do you think this is really all about? is he co

"way too early" with jonathan lemire is coming up next. >>> i believe i won that election by many, many votes, many, many hundreds of thousands of votes. that's what i think. and i expressed that on the phone call and i said i don't know what the number was like 11,000 or something. i said what i need is 1,000 votes, i won this thing by hundreds of thousands of votes. it's my opinion and a strong opinion, and i think it's borne out by the facts, and we'll see that. >> the fourth case involving donald trump likely to be heard by a grand jury next week as georgia braces for a new indictment in trump's efforts to overturn his election loss. >>> plus, the former president's twitter account targeted by the special counsel. the evidence jack smith was searching for and new details on twitter's resistance to the probe. and president biden touting his economic agenda, but are americans onboard? what new polling shows about the impa

last year prosecutor andrew warren was suspended in a similar fashion because warren pledged not to prosecuteseeking abortion care this is the latest in a long list in similar actions that desantis is taking to issue more and more control over the state of florida this laundry list includes going to war with disney whitewashing history lessons, eliminating diversity programs and public schools. signing a slate of extreme anti lgbtq bills. quietly signing a very restrictive abortion bill into law to enemy now is the honorable monique worrell the florida attorney suspended by governor ron desantis earlier this week thank you so much for being here now that these diversion programs have been canceled, they were central to your policy platform as a when -- you are campaigning, when you are running for office. what does that do for the people who are in these programs? these programs are suddenly ended in these folks have nowhere to go? >> thank you for having me. yes, this is going to harm our community. the policies that we implemented surrounding diversion are based in research. i spent 16 year

andrew warren is my friend. they're good prosecutors. and they represent their communities.lly gives me -- quite frankly, because i hate to be used as a reason why my fellow prosecutors with being suspended. they're both democrats. they both follow the democrats and the law, and if you have a disagreement with the way you're doing it, you run against them. you vote them out at the ballot box. what you don't do is take away the voice of the voters and take away their choice. just one more thing -- rick scott, a u.s. senator who's very conservative, he was the previous governor. he had an issue with monique's predecessor. she said she would not impose the death penalty in any case. he removed all the death penalty cases from her. one thing he didn't think about doing is removing her from office entirely. that's where we are today. >> i've got less than a minute left. can we talk about the irony of that statement about not tolerating a state attorney who pursues an agenda at the expense of floridians? is that not what ron desantis is doing with the vast majority of his legislat
