grade pumpkins former governor ron desantis, the gop used the young voters as crucial to taking back congress in the 2022 midterm hitler yvonne from fox business is live in tampa florida with the latest. >> former governor ron desantis for a possible presidential run in 2024 his message tonight. jon: go ahead. >> i was saying if governor desantis was testing out to voters for a presidential run in 2024 his message was this your florida is an oasis of freedom for many americans he think the whole country should be that way, desantis put himself at the center of every conservative issue taken on big government and big tech and president biden desantis said he's kept florida from getting what he calls dr. fauci shutting businesses down and keep an economy open,

how does desantis see this?my earlier comments and what scott said, desantis know what's going on here. donald trump lies a lot, and he said a lot of untrue things. but if there's anything he said is 100% true, it's that. he did make ron desantis what he is. even though the polling shows that maybe president trump's favorability rating has slipped a little among republicans, he's the supreme leader of the party. all the republicans know it. they wouldn't dare run against him. desantis, despite what you hear from media outlets, and certainly from democrats and some progressives, desantis is not in a feud with donald trump. he's not going to get in a fight with donald trump. i would be shocked if he does. >> he also doesn't want to be his vp, i would imagine. that's not where it's going to go. i want to ask -- scott, one thing here. we have obtained this exclusive audio from an interview with trump for the book "i alone can fix it." this is about trump's speech on january 6. let me play part of this for this conve

the if he does, i doubt ron desantis would run.s of congress that i covered who were willing to criticize trump are out in the wilderness. it's interesting to watch desantis, when he was first elected governor, people were surprised, didn't take him seriously in the beginning, some of the things he said were too right wing or not in the main stream. he has evolved. watching him with president biden and saying thank you is a very -- the way that he approached that, much more traditional way of doing things in a big, what has been, historically a swing state like florida and seems to acknowledge that he's growing in ways that understand he would need a broader appeal if he wanted to make a national bid. what's your take on how desantis is handling things and he has to lead the state through this awful collapse and the tropical weather. >> i don't know if he's changed but for those of us who observed him govern on the right wing, did surprise a lot of people here. >> mark caputo, thank you very much for getting up early with us this m

but ron desantis is completely boxed in.nly way he gets the 2024 nomination is if donald trump hand it to him on a silver platter. >> it's interesting also, because this comes the stamame we see this very nice american moment of the democratic president and a republic governor putting aside their vast differences about politics. and they disagree about almost everything. to just talking about what can be done to help the residents and the survivors. the washington examiner says quote, the governor is getting tested here as to how far he's going to be pushed before he breaks ranks with president trump. he has to be careful because this is trump country. the base loves the president, but they equally love ron. it's a showdown going on right now. desantis's office is denying this story. this is the washington examiner. it's their reporting, not mine. what do you think? >> first, are we surprised that donald trump is not concerned with the agony and misery that the people in surfside, florida are actually enduring? he hasn't sho

desantis, you node, he has friends of desantis, which is his super-pac.as a "vanity fair" articles talking about basically the fact that the former president now feels threatened by the florida governor desantis and his growic growing pop laird inside the party. it could only gain, it seems, at this point, only to the advantage of the florida governor, with as much time as we have until the next election. >> yasmin, i think that's exactly right, but i want to emphasize the florida governor is a younger candidate, whos a bit more refined than trump. we knows something that was off-putting to a lot of republicans that headed for the door in 2020 elections, because they just couldn't handle trump's tone, his approach, his posture, his vile language and horrible language, but desantis is a bit more buttoned up, more disciplined in messaging, who won't be spouting ridiculousness and horrible lies and just speaking in a way that is vile to them and their sensibles. you have a younger candidate who leverages a lot of trump's playbook. remember, in his campaign,

run alone and not against desantis.th: thank you ford o'connell. brandon judd is sharing his thoughts about an msnbc anchor mocking law enforcement from a dozen states to helping out with with the border crisis. the anchor says there is no crisis. eastern the data shows that crime is rising and women and children are getting assaulted and that is much, much more. next on "the evening edit." >> what about the hundreds of thousands of gotaways? that he slipped into our country. that is a criminal justice threat and it ace tragedy. this is so preventable. the biden administration created this problem and they are trying to ignore it but it is not going to go away.

god said governor desantis has to win reelection in president trump is not decided whether or not he two gentlemen fighting with one another because they fear both in 2024. elizabeth: sit tight we haveom sound coming in from president trump on the lawsuit, class-action suit he brought against twitter, facebook and google youtube i want your reaction to this, watch. >> were asking the u.s. district court for the southern district of florida to order an immediate halt to social media companies illegal shameful censorship of the american people were going to hold big tech very accountable this is the first of numerous lawsuits that i assume would follow but this is the lead and i think it'll be very and important game changer for country it'll be a pivotal the defense of the first amendment. elizabeth: if trump is kicked off social media and ron desantis days on how does that affect the race. >> i think the democrats and big tech want to keep trump off social media i to my had to president trump for launching the lawsuit because it's not just president trump we've been doing vice facebo

governor desantis: thank you, mr. president. you recognize the severity of this tragedy from day one. you've been very supportive. we implore you, if you drive up and down the coastal roads, you'll see these buildings, i have driven by that building, never thought twice. you recognize in each individual unit there's an i maysing story. lives have been shattered, irrev kaably as a result of this. we have already identified fay tai -- fatalities, a 02-year-old matriarch of a family, children missing, young newlyweds who haven't even been married a year who were in the tower when it collapsed. the cooperation has been great. both the municipal and county have been fantastic an you guys have not only been supportive at the federal level but we have had no bureaucracy. when we're dealing with fema, we're getting requested qust routed from local to state to federal in no time and the approval is happening. so that's -- that really, i think, i think is important. so we've had people, the first response in florida's history outside of a

you see ron desantis winning these polls and that -- ron desantis is the same donald trump among republicansit is making him crazy. it's a reasonable chance he will go through this to spite ron desantis and to get a feud between ron desantis. >> john, does allen why sober gulag like the g cordon lady of this story, lady being this water gate burglar who would never crack and never turn on the mix in conspiracy? >> i largest you're an oil analysts who said i think that makes sense, i think he's there until the time gets too significant. if you put him in a situation where he might have to put the rest of his life in prison, thrust of his live or is semi productive life behind bars i think that will be the test to that. i think he's inclined to be that, but there are a lot of people who think that there are gonna be him. you always have a plan and then you get hit in the face. >> john heilemann, thank you very much for joining us tonight. we really appreciate it. >> all right, lawrence, good to see you. >> coming up. d.c. chairman jaime harrison will give us his reaction to the supreme court o

without donald trump on the ballot, desantis, ron desantis got 68% of the vote. with donald trump on the ballot, 70% went to him. no surprise there, right? >> yeah, no surprise the number went up from the last cpac conference, it was about 55% for donald trump if he were to win. so he can kind of claim that he's doing better -- [laughter] among cpac voters. but he's doing better, arthel, among cpac voters. this is not representative of the country, and it's not representative of the broad base that donald trump would need to appeal to to win the election. these are true believers that are at the conference. interesting also to see ron desantis come in second again. he had hometown or home state advantage at the last cpac meeting. but it's just interesting that among all the other possibilities, you know, pence and pompeo and others, nikki haley, that desantis is still in the number two spot. arthel: well, you know, listen, and governor desantis has been in the headlines being able to demonstrate his leadership qualities as he is tackling that horrific condo colla

there is -- i mean, you see desantis winning these straw polls.sort of -- ron desantis is a sane-donald trump is the new line among republican-political strategists. trump's hearing that and it's making him crazy and i think there is a reasonable chance he will end up going through with this to spite ron desantis and to spark a feud with ron desantis so he can have a big war over who is the king of florida. >> so, john, does allen weisselberg look like the g. gordon litty of this story to you? being, of course, the one watergate burglar who would never crack and never turn on the nixon conspiracy. >> well, i liked your analyst in the 8 block tonight who said i think it makes sense. i think that he is -- until -- until the time gets to be too significant. i think, you know, if you put weisselberg in a situation where he might have to spend the rest of his life, he is not a young man. potentially, the rest of his life or the rest of his semi-productive life behind bars. i think he is inclined to be. but there is a limit on a lot of people who think

. >> next, ron desantis rejecting the cdc's guidance that recommends masks for kids in school calling it anti science but when cnn asked him about it, you'll see what he said and the department of justice won't defend mo brocoks with a lawsui about his role on january 6th. >> today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. >>> congress mann eric swalwell behind the lawsuit is my guest and defunding the police after george floyd's death. the city of minneapolis is in the middle of that. tonight he's "outfront". >>> new tonight, public schools in pbroward county florida tryig to institute a mask mandate a day after desantis blasted federal masking guidance as anti science. le let's be clear here that kids aren't vaccinated amid an explosion of coronavirus cases in florida, which is leading the entire united states in new infections over the past week. rosa flores is "outfront". >> i come here and ask you for the healing for my baby. >> reporter: agnas has not left her 15-year-old daughter eastside since she was placed on a ventilator ten days ago. >> she's in

late afternoon or well into the evening or you could think of it as a presidential race between ron desantisalifornia governor gavin newsom. first the current governor of california and former san francisco mayor gotta survive a governor tory recall but we will see about that. it could be desantis versus newsom or trump versus biden harris or trump versus harris but the big difference between red florida and blue california and look at the top many kudos to new york columnist kyle smith he wrote a brilliant column and laid out the battle of california and florida and very compelling way which is why they prompted the segment. let me begin with kyle's quote, those differences are growing into a chasm of philosophical and practical contrast between two basic models for the american future. call them the california way and the florida way. kyle smith highlights the extraordinary differences in contrast between the two states that is quite remarkable like california public schools teach critical race theory, florida does not california hate fossil fuels workshops at the shrine of global warming,

a republican who just introduce legislation for sustainable practices and governor desantis with hisllion dollar conservation land bill in the republican president who signed conservation and legislation in a generation but then there's go up pro conservation markets of innovation pro america the climate revolution follow us then share this message when we posted nancy mays part of a new conservative caucus. teefive dad democrats have runaway and defined the issue and they are slow to push back but it seems that is changing now and you are part of the change. >> right. democrats do a very good job pulling on the heartstrings of everyday americans use extremism and scare tactics i want to add one more note to your monologue. it was great. but president trump and his last few months of the presidency band drilling off the cost on - - the coast of south carolina in georgia that's at the state cemented but republicans are finding ways to be innovative in private innovation and the environment today we saw a private citizen go to space and if we allow businesses to be innovative we can do

governor ron desantis. governor, great to see you. [cheers and applause] go thank you. >> sean: let's start with the basics. almost on day one, joe biden's state department says oh, no, this is about covid. okay, that was a lie. in case anyone is interested. this has been a freedom moving thate is building. it's very dangerous to the people that are taken to the streets. how do you assess it? >> so, from day one, the people of cuba have been protesting and demonstrating against the avcommunist dictatorship in havana, not because of vaccines. it's not because of these side issues. they want a new government. they want a free cuba. and i think it's incumbent upon austin the united states to be supportive of those efforts. i've called on joe biden, the communist regime has shut down internet. let's work to bring internet onto the island of cuba so these folks have a fighting chance to converse with one another, so to say what's going on to the inside world. s let's build an international coalition so that the world knows that the free wo

so it's not just governor desantis. like you said, alicia, it's all of the republicans here in the state of florida and all across the country. and it has to stop. we have to stop politicizing this. this is a danger to our children and to our families. >> i mean, david, the numbers that i read at the top of this are shocking. and it is shocking when you look at it in the context of the entirety of this pandemic. why make mask mandates specifically the hill that you die on, especially when these numbers don't lie. >> because of the rise of ignorance in american culture and american political leadership, particularly on the right side of the aisle. that's why. and i think we have to take a step back, alicia, and begin to recognize -- and i say this not to try to get a cheap shot, but we may be entering one of the great failures in american history. not a failure of science, but a failure of culture. over the last 230 years, we have been provided all of the tools that have made america great for sacrifice and patriotism. a

jon: go ahead. >> i was saying if governor desantis was testing out to voters for a presidential runans he think the whole country should be that way, desantis put himself at the center of every conservative issue taken on big government and big tech and president biden desantis said he's kept florida from getting what he calls dr. fauci shutting businesses down and keep an economy open, desantis said he's been doing part of president biden should job by securing the southern border by city manpower to greg abbott in texas to secure the border. desantis bragging about picking a fight with big tech and stated up to silicon valley defending freedom of speech from censorship. >> facebook was following dr. fauci, the misdirection in the cover-up they were not dedicated to the truth, you are not a private company of your censoring of the behalf of the government you're in the arm of the ruling class at that point and you could be held accountable. >> the white house defended the decision to flag facebook about vaccines that they say is misinformation because they worry it's influencing je

"vanity fair" says trump and desantis appear to be on a collision course, as desantis explores a runhis own. the cpac did a second straw poll if trump did not run. talk about those dynamics, the fact they feel they need to do two different polls. >> it shows they're not exactly sure what donald trump is going to do. they have no clue. he is giving no indication. therefore, the democrats in 2016, when it was will she or won't she with hillary clinton. the will he or won't he is making it hard for republicans to do much of anything. ron desantis and nikki haley and the rest that might run in 2024, have to move slowly and have to be very, very nice to him. one of the interesting things when you talk to the trump supporters, they tend to stick with ron desantis. he's brash and he is a little mean in public in talking to reporters and to other folks. that's something that they are interested in. and with donald trump, he runs the party. you can't run afoul of him. it's caused the party to do all types of things, even repeat dangerous lies, say things that aren't true at all, at cpac and a

but calls desantis. he says, what's going on, i want suzie back.him suzie whields is basically a bat boy on his team, and this is what really infuriates trump. trump wants to make the decision here, and in a heated oval office phone call, trump tells desantis, this is my decision, stay out of it. >> yeah. suzie wilds is a name that some of our viewers may know her name. for those that don't, she, as you point out, is an extraordinarily important wired in operative in florida and haas been for so long and has been such a critical part of the presidential landscape and map. it's very telling. >> she ran rick scots campaign in 2010 when he was an insider. she came in and saved desantis's campaign when he was behind the polls. she won florida twice for donald trump. it's the only state he won twice and improved his margins in. she's a pretty key figure not just in florida and republican world but in trump world too. some new reporting i can share with you, kasie, there are a lot of people in trump world who openly wondered with me had suzie been in cha

it is a policy dispute, in fact, that desantis sees as a political cash cow.gan for desantis campaign merchandise including t-shirts. you see them right there. our panel is back to discuss. everything is fair in love and war and politics. is it risky for ron desantis in florida to be so anti-fauci and trying to make money off of anti-fauci at the time. maybe when they made these, the case count wasn't doing what it's doing. >> it's certainly risky. as we've seen with the numbers with questions about how potent the delta variant is, things are okay for now, but we don't know what's going to happen in the coming months. you see republican political officials, especially those who have 2024 ambitions, clearly have seen this as for better or for worse something that motivated their base. you see one example that i found fascinating in recent days was how south dakota governor spoke about her ability to keep south dakota open despite the high infection levels in her state. it's clearly going to be an issue several years down the line. >> he gets it. here's a tweet

"vanity fair" says trump and desantis appear to be on a collision course as desantis explores a run of his own. cpac did a second straw poll that shows results if trump did not run. you mean, just talk to me about those dynamics, the fact that they feel they need to do two different polls. >> well, it shows at once they're not exactly sure what donald trump is going to do. they have no clue. he is giving them no indication, therefore kind of like the democrats in 2016 when it was like will she or won't she with hillary clinton, the will he or won't he with donald trump is making it really hard for republicans to do much of anything. it makes it so ron desantis and nicky hailey and the rest of them who might run in 2024 have to move slowly, have to be very, very nice to him. and one of the interesting things when you talk to some of the trump supporters is that they always pick ron -- not always, but they tend to pick ron desantis because he's brash. he has that kind of personality that donald trump has where he's a little mean in public in talking to reporters and the way he speaks to

so much for desantis 2024. but can he run if he gets permission from trump? >> tell me how the equation changes, unless he is able to change the equation. some of the polling, the preference polling among active republicans, trump republicans, shows desantis has carves out a nice niche for himself, and making the most of it. he is sew showing bravado, and leadership in his state. there is a dynamic here. since trump is a resident of the governor's state, it's so rich to watch him sitting there with joe biden to his left, and thank you, mr. president. there is no bureaucracy, you are responding to our needs, and people have an image of the president throwing paper towels and toilet people to those. so there is a contrast, and kudos, have fun with it. guess what. when the shoe drops, it's probably going to land on your head. >> mark mckinnon, same question. nikki hayley is on this list who has fallen all over herself with trump looming in the back grund. there is a lost list of people who want the job, and one guy they have to go through to get it. >> this is a

if you look into the straw poll, many of the people who rank highly on the list, like ron desantis and ted cruz, have backed up or not directly condemned this lie about the 2020 election. there is definitely a reward structure in this. in terms of trump's hold on the party, though, you see it from the messaging perspective, especially as he's starting to take much more public posture over the course of these next few weeks and months leading up to the midterm elections this is the message that he is choosing to lead with. a backwards looking message about what happened in 2020, hoping that that's enough red meat to actually fire up the base to go vote again in the upcoming midterm elections it may be a different plan than people like the rnc and other republican groups would like to lead with, but undoubtly, trump is the person with the biggest reach and easily the biggest megaphone, still definitely the head of the party. what he says in forums like this one really matter, especially from a messaging form. >> i want to take a look at that straw poll trump just beat florida governor ro

this time joined by florida governor ron desantis. well, the pair highlight at the partnership between the 2 states after florida answered the lone star state's call for help to tackle the surge in the border crossings. reporter wes rapaport has the latest. there. >> hi there. there's no clear timeline on when florida's resources will head back to the east coast. but governor desantis said it was no hesitation to send support here to the lone star state because during hurricane season, texas offers to lend a hand. >> this is a situation where all states need to be a part of the process of stepping up because the best place to interdict this criminal activity is not in florida is not an hour is right here on the border when texas governor greg abbott called florida's governor ron desantis answered. he sent boats planes and people to the lone star state. >> to help address the surge in border crossings. i asked some of my folks at the state levels is something we could support. >> but i didn't want it to be something we're like dragging

desantis saying he's gotten all the resources. the president's nice and the president's stopping to talk to everybody, and he apologized because, i mean, what a difference a year makes. but anyways, go on. this is how it should be. >> the job should come first. you have abject tragedy, trauma, a community that has no time for pettiness. they are dealing with the heaviest of human consequence. and i'll tell you what i like about it, is that everybody's doing this the right way, including the media. nobody is magnifying fringe fools on twitter, and saying, well, some don't like it. some don't like it. no. shut them down. >> yeah. >> this is a time for the big voices. not to make the most of the least. and desantis should do his job, and that's taking care of his people. and you should want the federal government to help with that. and biden treating desantis like he is anybody else is exactly what he should do. >> but you know what? that just shows to go -- i know i said that wrong -- that just goes to show you that we're not -- we'

but in florida governor ron desantis says he'd be willing to call a special session of the legislature to block any efforts to mandate masks in public schools. >> we need our kids to be able to be kids. we need them to be able to breathe. it's terribly uncomfortable for them to do it. there's not very much science behind it. >> reporter: federal health officials say unvaccinated people account for 97% of those hospitalized with covid-19, and more than 99% of those who die from it. in alabama, which trails the nation in vaccination rates, governor kay ivy expressed frustration with those who continue to refuse the shot. >> start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. >> reporter: so, neil, what is different from this summer versus last summer is that a lot of covid restrictions are relaxed. fewer people are wearing masks. and then you have this delta variant that is three times more transmissable. so if you're vaccinated, you can expect a high level of protection, but if you're unvaccinated, you truly are at risk of getting sick. neil? neil: jonathan serrie, thank you ve

he was give ron desantis a chance to respond himself.illions. listen. he said it. i have the question. "randi weingarten's ridiculous claim that selling a coosy is ridiculous. the only explanation is that the governor says schools can be reopened safely a year ago. that is after his press secretary decided to point out how well his state has done saying florida's covid death rate is lower than the national average. unlike the governor of new york, we don't fudge the numbers. she ruined the education of million of kids by keeping them out of school more than a year based on conspiracy theory. >> again, she said millions of people will die. she was not joking when she said that. at the very least, it's anti-science. it's anti-mask, it's anti-funny. if you lecture people on not making jokes at a time like this, you can't do that by making up ridiculous hyperbole and accusing the governor of florida of being a mass murder or intended mass murder because he embraces policies that have proven to work pretty well. >> sandra: fair enough point.

ron desantis joins us right now. governor, very good to see you. >> thanks, neil. >> neil: how are things looking from your end, governor? >> so we've seen it pass key west, the further westernmost key.there were some power out timings, localized flooding. certainly nothing along the lines of a catastrophic storm which we've seen in our past. it will continue going up the west coast of florida. we anticipate that it will become a category one hurricane. we think there's going to be impacts up and down the coast. it's going to obviously make a turn northeast and probably florida's big bend and continue through the northern part of florida. so there will be wind impact, storm surge along the coast. we've had a very, very wet past couple weeks, particular live north of i-4. so all of that area is going to get more rain in the storm. so you could have flash flooding even without that. then the combination of the two, we're bracing for that. so we think there will be more power outages. probably some shelters open up and

why is joe biden being so nice to desantis? why is desantis being so nice to joe biden? it shouldn't matter. again, we've been telling people rightly so to follow the science, to believe in science, to believe in the vaccines because that's what the scientists tell us, what dr. fauci tells us, what all the legitimate doctors are telling us. they should be with their families, be outside and enjoy their lives and they're doing it. i think it's great we're actually seeing that happening from both a democrat and a republican. and i think democrats and republicans in general except for those radical fringe voices, and i hope this weekend quite frankly everyone gets out and enjoy the weekend. and they also tune into cnn to watch me and my colleagues dana bash and victor blackwell, ana cabrera. we're going to be hosting the fourth of july coverage and celebrating. >> i love it. i love the plan for the coverage. i love we're going big with it this year, and i also hope people can just subscribe -- let's not get too deep with it. just a simple existential pragmatism. are you abl

but republicans who know the future think that ron desantis is a much better version of trump. thinks he's trump with brain, with empathy. it's more of a guy who can govern. what we saw on the stage today it could be two guys running together on 2024. >> what a scenario you lay out for us. gentlemen, by way of thanking you for coming on tonight, allow me to wish you both a safe, vaccinated celebration of independence day, our holiday weekend. we thank you as always for coming on and taking our questions. michael steele, marc mackinnon have been our guest tonight. coming up for us after another break. sadly the numbers in this country are beginning to conform the fears about this covid variant. it is now surging in other parts of the world and the concern is for the unboxing aid across the us. across the us. isn't it disappointing when your plug-in fades? once that freshness goes away, you're left thinking, “okay....now what?” febreze fade defy plug works differently. it's the first plug-in with built-in technology... to digitally control how much scent is released... to smell 1

governor ron desantis did not take my question during that press conference. just hours later he took to twitter to say that masks are bad policy. twitter is a safe space for politicians who want to say whatever they want without getting questions from reporters. jake? >> all right, rosa flores in florida, thank you so much. somebody else criticizing masks, house minority leader kevin mccarthy, he tweeted, quote, the threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state. to that, the house speaker nancy pelosi said, of mccarthy, quote, he's such a moron. let's talk about this. jackie, putting the bad blood between pelosi and mccarthy aside, what the hell is mccarthy talking about? liberal government officials want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state? >> as i was in the elevator coming here, i got a fundraising request from trump, and it said, liberals want to put your children in masks forever or something of that genre

ainsley: ron desantis, watch. is now selling both of these items in his campaign store while his state is currently experiencing nearly four times the national average of new coronavirus cases but, hey, at least your beer will stay cold while you insult the very idea of infectious disease expertise. that will show them. >> governor ron desantis made clear long ago he is no fan of covid restrictions and no fan of dr. anthony fauci. it is a policy dispute in fact that desantis sees as a political cash cow. >> he is selling political swag. is he selling -- is he merchandising with the suffering of the people who die with the pandemic. that's just irresponsible and shameful. and i'm very, very disappointed in him. lawrence: the president of the aft the teacher's union she says this is disgusting. millions of floridians going to die from ron desantis ignorance. is he shooting the profit from it he doesn't care about floridians he it cruel agenda do you know what's kuehl keeping kids locked down over a year weingarten d

desantis, one of the names bandied about as a possible frontrunner for the 2024 nomination. biden wanted to lean into the reason he is president in a lot of ways, elected a the height of a generational pandemic, sense empathy and need to tackle these issues and leaned into that yesterday. some of the video was leaked. these are heart wrenching stories these folks are going for. for the president to be there, this is sort of vintage joe biden, this sort of trip for him. he really sort of leaned in to these moments and the biggest thing he can do is listen in on it, governor desantis laying down the partisan sword as they talk about it. hopes, as we sort of take on day by day here, are holding on for some sort of miracle in the search effort. >> we just saw footage there of the president and first lady paying tribute to the memorial wall which had photos and flowers of those still missing. shifting gears, josh, i know you're covering it very closely the federal response to the pandemic, sunday, july 4th, the president set a goal of having 70% of adults get their first vaccine,

ron desantis with this concept, we want decisions made at the most local level possible.s the governor and stop school boards and cities from putting mask mandates in place. what he realized was that parents are the most vocal plays possible where these decisions should be made. they should decide that their kids go to school, whether they mask or not. that is freedom. this is why elections have consequences and it is so great but here's what concerns me about this, when randi weingarten the head of the teachers unions as we will try to reopen schools, let's interpret that to mean they are going to do everything they can to make sure our schools are shut down. and i care about our kids or their education or their health or seeing smiles and how to read smiles on people's face, they care about the union, so we have to band the union. we have to dismantle the teachers union and what concerns me as a parent of nine kids, did i send my kids eight hours a day to be taught by these looney tunes who are antiscience and antichild? what the heck are they being taught. these are cr
