. >> kayleigh: first of florida casey desantis had words on this, play her words and get your reactione tried to make politics out of mental health, tried to inject ideology and agenda in the name of mental health and that is disgusting. this is about giving our kids key foundational skills to learn how to persevere through what inevitably will be thrown at them in life. >> harris: we're seeing it happen all over the educational spectrum, children not getting tools they need and we can talk about competition on a global stage, before that is what casey desantis is talking about, confidence in self and wholeness and health mentally and physically, we have to teach our children how to be resilient and not tell them they are victims because of the color of their skin or any other reason. they are wonderful blessings from the lord and remember, there is a whole movement in this country that would rather we didn't talk that way, i don't care. they don't have anything right now, give them something solid. give them love and belief and psychological tools through the medical field and let's g

father of three beautiful children, and perhaps his biggest claim to fame, he is the husband of casey desantis. join me in giving a big iowa warm welcome to governor desantis! [applause] gov. desantis: thank you. did you take my podium away from me? it is great to be with you. greetings from the free state of florida! i want to thank governor reynolds for doing a great job -- here's the thing. as governor of florida you are on a special purge. i know what's going on in the rest of the country, because when people visit or move their, they tell me what is going on in their states. people from illinois will give me a hug and say i escaped from illinois. the michigan lockdowns, people very bitter about what was going on. when i see iowans in florida, they are happy. they are happy about being up here. they like their time in florida but it is all good. it is really great to be here. i think if you look in florida and iowa's success, other red states, people have been able to vote with their feet over the past few years like never before. the state of florida, we are the fastest-growing state in t

i think ron desantis gets great points for his courage to talk about his beautiful and smart wife casey'siant and thank god successful battle against breast cancer. the loss of his sister at the age of 30 and talked a little bit about policy. you also saw the problem for ron desantis and really anybody else these days, they're always going to be asked about donald trump. this is his turf. he sets the terms of the debate. he sucks up all the oxygen in the you want to talk about war criminal. half of the interviews almost can't escape it. the other thing is governors are very popular for the great stuff they do. i look at florida, iowa, ohio. jesse, these are three states that barack obama carried twice that are now ruby red. desantis in florida, kim reynolds in iowa ron re-election 19%. mike dewine by 25% in ohio. that's a big turn about. they don't have the foreign policy, national security credentials and experience. ballot, primaries. they are going to worry that governors at the state level can't really do what donald trump did which is be in the room with and contain xi jinping of kim

desantis rebutting critics. he spoke from the heart about his wife, casey, staring down and beating breast cancer and the loss of sister at the age of 30 from an emotbolism. >> dana: i was on jesse's show last night. ron desantis had a great roll-out and poll numbers go down and then this week he sharpened his attacks a little bit. gave a long form interview to piers morgan still saying he hasn't decided to run. this week and him. >> it was the bridge between the book tour and the possible presidential announcement in this way. he gave himself many off ramps in the interview. i have a young family, i love being governor of florida. more work to do here. yet he went around and made the country his focus group and pressure tested how much americans in the different places were responding to his message. i don't believe that the 2024 presidential nomination will be decided on how you handle covid. i can't think that republican voters in 2024 want to hear much about covid. and woke is a little too much attention from governor desantis. i believe that if he talked more about the florida economic miracle and made clea

casey wondering if this man actually cares about florida at all. i mean, just look at his coming schedule. this week, desantis iowa. joining me is florida state representative norah's common. a thank you, representative as kimani, for being here. i can imagine what it's like to be in the minority watching what what republicans are doing. are they open about the fact that they are doing this in order to give this antecedent run for president. on >> thanks for having me, joy and were watching and we're also fighting back, as you know, in florida. we might be a minority but the leverage of every opportunity we have to call out the fire weight and to point out how extreme there. i really think republicans are as blinded by power here in florida. just today they filed a six-week ban on abortion. something that government desantis didn't mention in his speech because he's too scared to talk about abortion. it's important for us to ensure that the american people understand that what is happening in florida is not what you want to happen across the country if this man get anywhere near the white house. >> the thing
