and everybody needs to support ron desantis in our august 28th primary.nd in the november general election. don't forget, you have somebody, one of the group is going to be running on open borders anti-i.c.e., anti-law enforcement [cheers & applause] >> there's too bad. that's too bad. that's too bad. that's too bad. one person, one person and tomorrow the headlines will be, massive protests. too bad. sorry about that, ron. earlier today i also spent time with your current governor, one of our nation's truly great leaders, rick scott. [cheers & applause] as you know, rick is running to replace liberal democrat schumer-controlled nancy pelosi-controlled and the new star of the democrat party maxine waters. name is bill nelson. and you know i live a lot of time in florida. the only time i see bill nelson is five months before every election. and after a while you forget who's the senator. but around five months you see him at parties, and you see him around. and we have to be careful because we have to make sure that rick scott wins, and wins big. bill nels

my point to you here is that when you look at this, ron desantis is there. good question, where is rick scott running for governor. when it comes to general election, he is running statewide against bill nelson, the incumbent senator from florida, he has to figure out how trump place. >> rick scott was at the event prior, he is doing a fund-raiser that coincides. >> that's what republicans have to do. they have to figure out where trump is an advantage and where he is a disadvantage. in the republican primaries, desantis' rise is evidence -- i think it's close to 90% of republicans support donald trump. that's the crowd you were watching. >> i thought it was interesting to see steve bannon come out just the other day. he pretty much declared this is a referendum in november on the trump presidency. >> it really is and the president has an enormous advantage when he campaigned 6 out of 7 days a week as he is bowing. last week the president 90% among republicans. general kelly will stay on in the white house. that was announced today, through 2020. we will get

big rally for ron desantis in florida. maybe on the west coast of florida as well in tight elections. barack obama lost 63 seats in his first mid-term of 2010. this week he had a message about a possible shutdown over the lack of fund funding for a wall on the southern border. how does it help the case, a government shutdown for a mid-term election that you know will be closely watched? >> the president is focused on the other part of that, immigration. it is completely concerning to us, frustration at this point as to why congress won't do its job and pass meaningful immigration reform. this president couldn't be more clear for the last three plus years on what he thinks about a broken immigration system. he repeated it again yesterday and catch and release, releasing people into the interior of this country. ending chain migration, going to a merit-based system of immigration and having the wall and border security. it is a stark contrast to the democratic party running to abolish ice. that keeps us all safe. which is on

desantis attracted the president's attention. is this a blueprint for what other republican candidates can do? go on fox as often as you can, catch the president's attention and he'll tweet about you? >> yes, i think it is, chris. as we all know, president trump watches those shows on fox, if not live, he watches it on his, you know, fancy dvr recorder. and so if he sees desantis on there defending the president, attacking the president's enemies, be they robert mueller or anybody else, that's earning brownie points in the eyes of trump. and trump is really trying to throw his weight around in politics right now. he knows that his approval rating among republican voters nationally is very high. even though he's polarizing and overall unpopular with theelect. he knows that a tweet here, a tweet there or an endorsement or an -- especially a rally like he's doing tonight in florida can make a difference for these candidates. >> the state of the race in florida in mid-june had adam putnam up double digits. nbc and meris had him up 27

the president endorses ron desantis and tweets about him and in the past six weeks or so, desantis has gotten a six point lead in the latest poll. there's mutual affection between the men. you can see him teaching his children how to use block to build a wall and how to make the words make america great again. desantis was considered the underdog facing adam putnam, former congressman. perhaps this is the trump effect. both candidates pushed supporting illegal immigrants in their stump speeches, appealing to florida republicans on an issue that is really more of a federal issue, not a state governor's office issue. trump lands in tampa at 5:30 eastern. the first stop will be the tampa bay high school for a discussion of people with vocational careers. the president will sign the have strengthening career and technical education for the 21st century act that he signed officially in washington this morning that act will make it more streamline for cities and states to build new and improve and existing vocational schools. people have been camped out all day long. several dozen slept outs

desantis is one trying to be trumpier than trump. >> i own guns and nobody is going to take it away. i have a big truck in case i have to round up the criminal illegal illegals and take them home myself. >> and only oone candidate helped to write the trump words, diane black. and only one voted to wall. >> come on up, diane black. >> i am don trump jr. and i support mark k oobach for governor. >> and so what is happening with ron desantis in your state? >> well, he is winning republicans and a lot. for all of the bad press that the president has gotten, understand that his base does not really believe the press. and based on the tweets and the endorsement that you just played there supporti ining desantis' support is through the roof. and most of the likely voters support president trump and once he blesss a candidate, that saul they need. >> is that a good thing for the general election in florida? might win a republican primary, but what about running gaiagaina democrat? >> that is great. and remember when we were talking in 2016 thinking, oh, boy, donald trump is going to have tro

congressman ron desantis. also republican candidate for governor of florida, i'm going to start with the role of the candidate here. you have got a lot -- you have got many duties now. last night in a debate with your opponent in florida. you have been running behind in the most of recent polls. do you believe last night you brought yourself even or perhaps ahead of your opponent? >> well, lou, we defined the race. i'm a conservative iraq veteran endorsed by president trump. he's a career politician who has been in office since he was 22 years old. he supported bailouts for wall street, he supported the gang of 8 schumer amnesty and he opposed' e-verify because he wants cheap labor for his donors. lou: that election very important and a choice that's clearly defined as you said it. it will be interesting to see how the people of florida respond. what do you see as the most of important issue in the decision of those voters as they go to the polls? >> for the primary, they want somebody who is going to lead wit

so campaigning for ron desantis and holding a rally down there. i don't know.ht he would wait for him to come off the chopper there, if he's so inclined. this is a full media trip, so our white house folksilill be down there with him tonight for the rally. he's coming home after, i was told, and then regular business marine one, the president will get off there at some point. we'll show you that when it happens. president trump sending mixed signals if he shuts down the government if he doesn't get funding for the border wall. there he is saluting. he's tweeted -- there's no way the democrats will allow it to be fixed without a government shut down. border security is national security and national security is a long-term viability of our country. he goes, a government shut down is a very rare, small price to pay for safe and prosperous mesh. as if shutting down the government will make america safe and prosperous. laughable. anyway, he says he's -- president trump said he's open to negotiating and behind closed doors, he apparently already reached an agreement

steve: congressman desantis, that'st a positive take of this. but that is very different from what you are hearing as i mentioned from the foreign policy establishment, from commentators on other networks. you see this style of president trump is a disaster. they call it a wrecking ball. he's wrecking the institutions the world has depended on for peace and progress. you know the story. what do you think explains that incredibly different takeu on what's been happening? >> i think some of those voices want weak american leadership. when i was looking through the mueller indictment friday, steve, i was looking at it and it struck me that the hacking and the things that were done was a third-rate operation. so if putin approved that, to me that's the ultimate sign he totally didn't respect barack obama who was president at the time and barack obama was a passive president. trump is willing to lead and buck the foreign policy elite. the foreign policy elites haven't gotten have many things right the past 25-30 years. i think it's good he's willing

tonight is a big maga rally but a big presidential push for florida congressman ron desantis.ndorsed him repeatedly for florida governor. he tweets about him. in the past six weeks desantis pulled 12% ahead in the latest poll, mason-dixon, with one month left in the republican primary. this new desantis campaign spot shows the mutual affection as the three-term congressman is teaching his children how to use blocks to build a wall and read the word, make america great again. kind of funny. he is considered the underdog, facing long-time florida politician, adam putnam, a lifelong florida pro-nra conservative, prior congressman and agriculture secretary. perhaps it is the trump effect, candidate are pushing one issue a lot, deporting illegal immigrants, prominently featuring featuring that in their stump speeches. republicans in florida find that appealing. those are federal issues not for a state governor. but both candidates find that working. you hear the crowd. revving up. two hours to go. melissa: a lot of energy. catch the president's rally in a special edition of "lou do

congressman ron desantis leading against his opponent putin.t 42 42%, a 12-pot lead after president trump's endorsement. the primary just six weeks from today. joining me now, the dean himself, ed rollins, chairman of the great american pac and alliance and hall of fame political consultant served as the reagan white house political director and joining us tonight. great to see you. >> thank you. lou: that's an impressive bump for congressman desantis. >> don't think that being on your show every night hasn't helped him too. you're going to have every candidate who's running behind want to be on here which is great. he's a great guy, a wonderful guy. lou: and he'll make a great governor. he's an extraordinary congressman at the forefront of defending and working on in l ts president's agenda. i've got to turn to joe biden because this is too much fun. the former vice president outraged over the president's meeting with president putin. is it maybe time for biden to think about that fresh space that 71% of the democrats want? >> the reality is h

and of course desantis putting out an ad sort of gloating as much, what's drove a lot of people crazyheck of an ad. if the viewers haven't seen it, they should check it out. it's representative of what's happening in republic primaries around the country. as we're talking about florida, the wisconsin candidates are rallying. if you look at the republican voters, they're so supportive of president trump. that's what's happened here in florida and that's why the president can go down there and make a big impact by holding a rally at this stage of the race. charles: president trump suggesting to sean hannity that he might hit the road five days a week. we saw a bionic performance as he was going for the presidency. in fact i think he was hitting at the end like four or five states in a day while hillary was chilling out measuring for curtains in the oval office. wow. it's so critical for him to do this. in a way it's kind of scary, though, that the republicans on their own don't have that kind of magic. >> well, the midterms are base elections and guess who the base loves. it's trump. he

desantis was 20 points behind, very few people knew him.etween fox news and some of their personalities and the president and his tweets and commentary, he gained more than 30 points without spending a lot of money in a period of less than a month. we don't see that in florida. so that's a strength. it's a weird race. republicans have had -- republican governors for 20 years. state-wide elected officials are republican. this is a high-risk deal for the president. >> let me read you how "the new york times" puts it this morning and get your take. quote, mr. putnum's collapse and mr. desesantis' rise illustrate the extraordinary clout mr. trump wields. >> i think we will see in the general election. some states he is liked. some states he is not. in florida, he is under water right now. think about this. if republicans can't win the presidency unless they win florida. 2020 is coming up next. if for some reason the democrat wins general election and some of it is attributed to the embrace of the president, he is going to have a hard time in hi
