governor desantis, thanks for playing host to us tonight. you watched joe biden last night deliver his first address to a joint session of congress. he repeated twice this proposition that we are a systemically racist country. your reaction. >> well, it's a bunch of horse manure. give me a break. this country has had more opportunity for more people than any country in the history of the world. doesn't matter where you trace your ancestry from. we've had people that have been able to succeed -- here's the problems with critical race theory that they're pedalling. they're saying all of our institutions are bankrupt and illegitimate. how do you have a society if everything in your society is ill legitimate? it's a harmedful ideology. i'd say a race-based version of a marxist ideology. we banned it in our schools here in florida. we won't put any taxpayer dollars to critical race theory and treat people as individuals, not as groups. >> laura: one of the worst aspects of the lockdowns is the closure of our schools. now kids are getting back to

while there's plenty that's trumpy about ron desantis, it's not much lite.roach to the covid-19 pandemic. trump's complete dereliction of duty led to nearly half a million dead americans on his watch in florida, desantis followed his lead, refusing to implement the most basic coronavirus restrictions, and even preventing local governments from enforcing their own public health rules. like trump, desantis was more concerned about his own image than the lives of his constituents, downplaying the crisis at every turn. but the similarities don't end there. the two men share an almost pathological disregard for the constitution they took an oath to protect and defend. and particularly the first amendment's guarantee of the right to peaceably assemble. he had peaceful protests disrupted so he could have his photo taken with a bible. desantis signed an unconstitutional law that, among other things, makes it easy to classify peaceful protests as riots and grant civil immunity to people who drive their cars into protesters. the laws are already being challenged in co

desantis is the guy. in new york and everything, when is that profile coming on andrew cuomo and his handling of nursing homes or of vaccine distribution, overall florida has an older population. it has a larger population. it has four major cities and florida has 17,000 fewer deaths than new york be. florida has been open since last year. new york has basically been shut down until recently. boy, that would be a pretty good story for "60 minutes" to cover. they are not going to do it, are they? they have become partisan and it's a shame. watching that show as i did as a kid with my parents and thought wow this is really good stuff. now it seems to be what everything else is an extension of the democratic party, unfortunately. steve: especially when you look at the fact that he and then correspondent's question with all the details and they cut him out, cbs said we did that for clarity. yeah, it became very clear what they were up to. joe, thank you very much for joining us live from your secret location.

where is the evidence to prove that desantis is going to be indicted next.n the amen corner talking to people who agree with you and you're emotional, then it derails, then you're in over your skis. then you're not doing your viewers a service when you smear a governor without proof. and the idea that this investigation could spark new scrutiny because of the political friendship and it become a liability for desantis -- it's not just msnbc implying this, it's also the associated press. >> i mean, it's really not a surprise that they are really stretching here. and i think in a lot of ways they're trying -- we actually have evidence that shows how governors like gash miesome and andrew cuomo have been incredibly hypocritical, have adhered to the lobbyists who have actually begin them money unlike the faux public scandal that desantis was hit with a couple of weeks ago and time after time have covered up what they and their administrations have done through this entire pandemic and reopening process. elizabeth: so andrew cuomo had a friendship with president

when the mayor of palm beach county and other officials met with ron desantis, desantis laid out all the options, it was the mayor who made that decision.ol told me on the radio show today. i give this democratic mayor all the credit in the world for he put people in his county before politics. they work together, everybody says they want bipartisanship. here you actually had it. publix, they didn't charge the state of florida a penny. they donate to republicans, they donate to democrats, they donate to all causes pretty much equally from what we've been able to determine. if i was publix, the fact that they intentionally kept out that exculpatory information from multiple democrats saying that your narrative is false, they were told, i think that might actually meet the high bar standard of malice. thoughts? >> that's interesting. if ron desantis goes down that route. >> sean: i think they should both sue. >> that's a very good point. publix is notap happy about this as well given the statement they put out. but we are so divided now, it's so rare to see a democrat defend a republic

and this is just what ron desantis and his experts were talking about.s because he didn't do what all the lockdown merchants did, he basically listened to experts and used common sense to empower his floridians with information so that they could make up their own minds about what level of risk they were willing to take and his priority was to keep the vulnerable safe. particularly elderly people. and so, even though florida has an enormous elderly population, the death per capita in florida of elderly people was way below what it was in other states, especially in new york where governor cuomo took the opposite tact. so what youtube is doing is just -- it's straight out offerwell. oforwell. rendering desantis an unperson. is he not the only one. not just youtube. you saw "60 minutes" the other night did a comprehensive hit job on ron desantis. all the media are so invested in proving that florida was wrong that ron desantis was wrong because that makes them look like fools and liars for the entire pandemic. and they don't want anyone to tweet. so that's

the takedown of governors desantis and harris. axios at the beginning of this year for the first time in this adelman to trust the media, it is below 50%. i think we are at a place in this country where there is tremendous skepticism of journalism. this kind of scrutiny we gave to the "60 minutes" we should give to journalism more broadly, not just when egregious but more broadly. >> harris: you know, johanna, you watched the story and you look at the full back and forth between the correspondent and governor desantis and you really see the gaps that were filled in with the facts of that in every video, not just edits but altogether as it can. and it does feel like there was a narrative that was written before everybody sat down. how much damage does that do? >> johanna: yeah, i don't think that this story was ready for prime time. i think you are saying that with the reaction of the democrats also so. democrats is a donor to the republicans and governor desantis but that has nothing to do to get the vaccine to the most people in

it's so frustrating but also going after governor desantis, this is very calculated. he's going to be a front runner in 2024 if he decides to run, they know he's got donald trump's full support if donald trump himself doesn't run so they're trying to take him out early. they're trying to hurt his name and reputation, make him look bad and do anything they can so we should be looking at this and looking at ron desantis us and when the media wants to take out and that should make us pull him up even stronger and shine him even brighter because they are very scared, very telling. >> emily: is this the long-term strategy we are seeing play out, and eventual slow death by a thousand cuts for republican front runners? >> guy: there's no question about that. it's not like this is an isolated incident with cbs news and 60 minutes, every week it seems like there is some hit piece against ron desantis that is extremely thin on any facts and when they don't have a new hit piece is to write, they bring out their hatchets and go back to previously debunked, pretty wild to watch an

is ron desantis a target because he may run in 2024? >> of course he is.nor in our country. he's america's governor. he's been right more often than not than any other governor in the united states. so, of course, he's a target. he's a target for one very simple reason, he's a conservative who also happens to be a governor and is proving that conservative principles and actually following data and not pandering to the left actually works. but it helps all the citizens of florida. i'm so grateful he's our governor because he's led our state in such a traumatic time. the left can't contend with it. they know the facts are on his side, so so they're out to destroy him. what "60 minutes" did was a travesty. that's why president trump recorded his entire interview with lesley stahl and didn't let them edit the way they did. and if you're going to do these interviews, make sure you're recording it for yourself so you can release it to the public because this is a travesty, what they're trying to do to america's governor. elizabeth: that's really good advice, con

it's worth noting by the way, bret, one of the reasons that desantis' star is up is that florida has i live in florida now and it's been mostly open for most of the year. and, yet, it's infection rate and death rate and so on are no worse than states like california that had all these draconian lockdowns and did such terrible damage to their local economies, not to mention the other secondary effects of those lockdowns. and, of course, that has sent desantis' stock soaring in much of the country which i think makes him a likely favorite in the early going for the republican nomination in 2024. >> bret: i'm sure we are going to hear a lot about this story on tucker's show with the governor in a little bit. but, brit, finally on this georgia major league baseball pulling out of the all-star game. the reaction to it. have you seen anything like this where there is kind of a not reading all the way through something? it seems like there is something missing in this story. >> brit: there certainly is. it assumes that major league baseball and these other institutions that are trying to bo

i don't care if public donated to run desantis' campaign, they donate to democrats as well, they donerd more towards republicans but that's not what this is about. the full exclamation he gave laid that out and was disingenuous and dishonest to air the edited clip that made it seemed like he was in fact working with palm beach county, saving the public which by the way administered doses in alabama, florida, georgia, south carolina, texas and virginia. >> i am sort of dead inside but this even shocks me. i don't know what they were thinking, not just shared but also a team of executives and producers in supervising producers who said no, that is good. you are in television long time, it's procedures to edit down interviews to convince them but you never do it so it change materially the meaning of what's being said but that's what happened here.

desantis was ahead of the game, governor desantis bringing in publix. "60 minutes" was implying it iscrats in the state of florida are pushing back on this story. you have mayor dave kerner, democrat from palm beach county. he called the report, not just they got it wrong or made a mistake, intentionally false, unquote. so what we're seeing now more and more is people pushing back on this from the other party which is a very rare thing we see these days saying, "60 minutes" not only got it wrong, they purposely misled, 17, 8 million viewers on this one. elizabeth: you're right, what they're saying. seniors are at risk of getting covid than the rest of the population. publix is pushing back on this too. to your point the outgoing florida emergency management director, and mayor kerner, said publix was recommended because the other pharmacies were not ready to start vaccinations that local florida officials went to publix, not the other way around because publix was ready to go before the state pharmacies on this? >> precisely. as you said, it is, more prevalent, i don't if you been the

the story questions florida governor ron desantis' vaccine rollout strategy.esting there could have been a link between that partnership and campaign donations. tom jones questions 60 minutes saying the program missed the mark. "the washington post" said the story relied too much on innuendo. so more on this, let me bring in one of the writers who called out 60 minutes before anybody. robby soave is a editor for reason magazine and he wrote that the story was wildly flawed. thank you for coming on. folks could read about this in detail at reason.com, but tell us what 60 minutes should have done differently. >> sure. well very importantly, they allege this kind of serious matter of corruption involving the governor that it was a kind of campaign kickback for publix, the supermarket chain to handle vaccine rollout because they donated to desantis' campaign and that is what 60 minutes claimed. but they didn't provide any additional evidence of that, anything to substantiate it and when they talked to desantis about it, he gave reasonable explanations for it. he s

and i think that's something that would certainly help desantis in future contest.anticipated question for harold, does have the trumpian flair for sticking it to the press which makes the press unhappy, harold, that could absolutely help him in the gop primary? >> tradition in this country, a politician standing up and being confrontation with the press, the most recent obviously and successful president trump. looks like governor desantis is taking a page from the book, however, if you want to win the race, just attacking the press won't do it and you have to lay out a vision. attacking alone doesn't win. a vision, a laying how you will make america's lives better, that's what gets people elect today any office. howie: scrapping with the media also gets attention. harold, ben, thank you very much. if you haven't gotten enough ben domenech, 5:00 o'clock eastern, 5:00 o'clock eastern for the big sunday show. we have greg gutfeld standing by on donald trump's latest attacks last night but up next striking admission by samantha bee as to why she's not making jokes abo

no one from desantis' office you know, suggested publix. that is what he is saying.ith vaccinations before the pharmacies because they were busy with nursing homes. publix did not have an exclusive right to distribute the vaccine. they never got that. 90 percent of the seniors most at risk live near a publix but "60 minutes" was like, oh, desantis is vaccinating seniors. guess what? they're the most at risk. even pointer, the media watchdog group, the pointer institute said they never proved their main point, it was sloppy. there was really no in there. do you think they should retract the story? >> they should be embarrassed, jobs should be lost over this we used to be upset when the media biased. you point out all the ridiculous facts they ignored. you don't think they were aware of those facts? of course they were. they wanted to do a hit piece on one of the leading republicans who will be a front-runner for president. they wouldn't let the facts get into the story. they were outrage discuss. i'm so glad to live in a state where those democrats put facts over part

as you say, i met ron desantis in 2016.ald trump would lose and i was interested in post-trump talent. i had a number of candidates to look at, but i didn't look at him. my piece is how i didn't look at him and determined not to make that mistake again. so he's got two superweapons. the first superweapon is he got the schools to reopen for most children in florida in august. as the pandemic fades, believe it or not, a lot of the memories will fade, but one thing will stay with so many people, the impact of disrupting schooling. and desantis will be able to say unlike other governors in other states, i didn't panic. i opened schools. the other mistakes i made, forget those. remember i got kids in schools before o'states. >> you also say the governor owes a lot to his critics. >> yes. >> what do you mean? >> we have seen in the aftermath of the terrible police shootings of 2020 and the destruction, a tremendous emphasis on racial reckoning. many people have rallied to that and been inspired by it, but many have rejected it. n

cbs60 minutes taking heat from all sides after airing a botched hit piece on governor desantis. they claimed desantis he gave publix -- >> publix donated $100,000 to your campaign and then you rewarded them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in palm beach. >> what you are saying in wrong. that's a fake narrative. i met with the county mayor, administrator and palm beach county and said here are some of the options. we can do more drive through sites and give more to hospitals, do the publix. they said we think that would be the easiest thing for our residents. >> harris: even some florida democrats including the palm beach mayor called the report intentionally false and critics accuse "60 minutes" of selective editing because it did not air or present desantis's full explanation of the vaccine strategy. let's take a peek. >> that's a fake narrative. first of all when we did the first pharmacies that had it were cvs and walgreens. they were going to the long-term care facilities. they started going to the long-term care facilities the third week of december t

also conservatives facing the rising tide of censorship by big tech in the media, ron desantis fightingin this new controversy, a big tech giant of social media giant is censoring the hunter biden laptop controversy, it is accused of letting dictators and world leaders onto its platform to harass political opponents and mislead the public. more than five dozen democrats calling on president biden and the overcrowded border facility and a dozen house republicans doctors, from healthcare workers sent a letter to doctor anthony fauci, the president's top medical advisor saying to dr. fauci when will you speak out about the public national health emergency of covid-19 at the border. thank you for joining us i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ thank you for joining us, you're watching the fox business network. we begin with d.c. police detective ted williams, we love having you on the show, your reaction to the 26 year veteran who fatally shot dante right the chief of police resigning in the suburb of minneapolis, she meant to use her taser and national guard bein

judge jeanine: strong word from florida's governor desantis this week.r white house press secretary and co-host of "outnumbered." kayleigh mcenany. is the governor ran -- ron desantis correct in businesses and government having no right to demand this? >> he's exactly right as he has been throughout the pandemic. we have seen the freedom model of dealing with the pandemic that is embodied by desantis, and then the coercion model embodied by the governors of california and new york. the regulations and lockdowns that go on and on. now this vaccine passport is another way to control the american people. it's antithetical to the american way and good for governor desantis for recognizing it. judge jeanine: he has proven himself to have the correct analysis for the way to protect the people of florida who are so proud of him. this will create a list that will be accessible data and information that might be used for the wrong reasons. what do you think he's thinking of there. >> it's possible. this is allowing the government possibly to get your medical info

he is coming to the defense of ron desantis here and says he's ashamed of the 6060 minutes piece. lesson. >> i was the one that sat in the meeting and i was the one that asked for publix assistance and to not have that included was a real experience, it's important to have the truth out in the public sphere so for me i left this experience really does disheartened. and perhaps that's why we can put the gallup poll up on the screen there. we show that media trust is plummeting for republicans and decreasing among independent voters as well. >> it seems the latest example of a news organization trying to do a hit on a prominent republican governor. the media have had it in for ron desantis for a long time, and it's reckless indifference to the whole pandemic. he said trump ally and has that ability to hit back at the past. as far as what just play to come up those comments by the democratic mayor are devastating to the reputation of 60 minutes. he said he sought out the program and, what does that tell you. and not the governor's office that was responsible for the cutting video wit

governor ron desantis signed the law on monday.ail to any individual arrested for such offenses until their first court appearance. it prohibits damaging or defacing property deemed historic including confederate monuments and allows prosecutors and local officials to appeal police budget cuts. joining us now miami mayor francis suarez. your colleague says someone may be arrested for participated in protests where violence happens to occur. what's your opinion of the law? >> my opinion of the law is i'm not sure why it's necessary. we had obviously civil disturbances last year and there wasn't any sort of major rioting. we had one night out of two weeks of protesting where we had 50 arrests. we were able to do it with the laws we had. we had defacing only monuments, but we were able to capture those people andry rest them for damage of property under the current laws we have. so we were able to manage those protest, which were, by the way, extremely peaceful. they were done in the public's view, done in the streets. we allowed prot

we are here with governor desantis of florida.ed on this, california has shut down that entire economy, shut down their schools, shut down its churches and temples. new york, the same thing. other states, new jersey and so forth honestly run by governors of the opposite party, you have taken a completely different path which is more of a liberty path, a civil society path, what have you done different than the others and what cause you to do things different than the others? >> mark, if you go back to the middle of march, it was all most like a dime where the country started shutting down. we had our theme parks, all these places they just voluntarily shut down. i wasn't telling them to, they just did it. we had kind of late march and into april anything people started to calm down a little bit. i told all those folks, we want to get you back, we want to get everybody back open so we worked really hard from probably the middle of april to get folks back up and running. obviously our parks and everything else that we offer here in
