[laughter] >> the thing is, and carl's written amazing books set in florida, and it's something he's remarked on many times. it's so true. you cannot, you cannot make things up that are weirder than the things that are happening in your -- [laughter] i'll give you one example. we're going to give you more, but this always struck me as the one that if you wrote it in a book, the editor would tell you, no, this is ridiculous -- this involved a citizens crime watch meeting in homestead, florida, and the chief of police was addressing the citizens crime watch group. and they were reading outdoors. it was the inaugural meeting, so he was explaining how the police worked with the crime watch, and it's going really well right up until the chief of police is almost hit on the head by a 75-pound bale of cocaine f

once free in florida, they thrived, establishing communities, forts and deep roots throughout florida's third congressional district, roots that can be felt today. the second is of joe sigha t. walls. he -- josiah t. walls. he was born into slaffry in 1842 -- slavery in 1842. he served as a cook in the civil war. he got free by the union soldiers, served with the union soldiers and after the war he moved to florida to fight in the spanish -- the seminole american wars. during that time period, the war ended and he started -- he moved to gainesville, florida, where he became the first african-american mayor of our city where i come from. during that time he became a very successful business person. he was elected to the florida assembly and then later he was elected to the u.s. congress rving in this very body here today. his elections got challenged. he lost his role as representative in the house. ran again the next year. won again. served a full term, and then the third term he ran, won again and his election got challenged by a confederate soldier and he lost his seat. he went on to

on thursday, february 2 of 2017, gainesville, florida, and the state of florida, lost a favorite son in mr. perry c. mcgriff. he was an icon in my hometown of gainesville, florida, and was known for his strong civic duty in helping people wherever and whenever they needed it. he was born in arcadia, florida, in 1937 and went to school at the university of florida where he became an all star stand out in both gator football and baseball. his contributions on the field earned him entry into the prestigious hall of fame as a gator great in 1969. perry was married to his wife for 57 years. raised four children, jana, mark, keith, and matthew, and enjoyed the joy and laughter of their 15 grandchildren. a tremendous family man, he was also successful in business. he was an insurance agent for 48 years. had the honor of being the youngest person ever elected as the mayor of gainesville, and was a representative for the state of florida. he was a tireless volunteer in gainesville. receiving countless awards and recognition for his commute service. and two of those particularly stick out to m

kelly: well, while that's happening in florida, take a look at this.ople are expected to protest this presidents day weekend against president trump and his policies. demonstrators holding rallies in at least 25 cities across the country. organizers in minneapolis say they are gathering to show solidarity with the immigrants and refugees targeted by president trump's executive orders. the protests will also call for minneapolis and st. paul to remain sanctuary cities. about 2,000 protesters also gathering right now outside of the president's rally in melbourne. laura: we're keeping an eye on this, heavy rain avenue aaging parts of southern california leading to the at least two deaths, flooded roads and even some sinkholes. workers at lake oroville are now racing to shore up the emergency spillway and lower the reservoir's water level ahead of another round of rain. we have fox team coverage on the situation out west. adam klotz is in our fox extreme weather center with a look at this forecast, but we begin with alicia acuna live with an update from or

florida blue, florida select, different plans that they're offering. most of these carriers are also offering coverage in the individual market. off the exchange. blue cross and blue shield i want to say a few things about them. they have been the dominant carrier in florida for seven years operating in the group market as well as the individual market. and they also rank highest in consumer satisfaction in studies. people are really happy with the coverage that they're getting from blue cross and blue shield. they have reportedly in my conversations with different representatives from them they've been very happy with their experience on the exchange to form networks. they already had networks in place. they had relationships with providers throughout the state for their individual members. it was very easy to expand that and say we'll start offering the exchange plans. so for them participating on the exchange was not a really big question as it was for other insurers that didn't have as much of a presence in the individual market. there are four oth

florida improved. if they are remarkably similar states both around 55% minority composition very similar about 50%, very similar states and dc in terms of dollars for a consistent with the earlier chart is very modest increase in terms of spending. and there's the court case that began to drive billions of additional dollars as a result of the court order. so the premise is that it developed the democratic process and can be and is more effective than the judicially enforced solution because there is no buy-in so how does the money gets spent, teacher salary increases coming to get people the same increase that were in the workforce previously. the thing is i will say one of the people was an expert witness and i would study that carefully because there's a lot of problems with it but i will tell you one thing in florida at least i can speak to the schools that have the poorest students over 90% of the students that are on a free an free and reduch that's the far right-hand side of the spend 20% more

but both of you still live in florida? >> yes. >> i ask if you both still live in florida, i thought you dshgs because not that i expect you to pack up and move and go some place else. there are some people that can't stay in the place where the pain and agony s i think dr. king's only living sib ling who still lives in atlanta. to this day, she has not been able to go back to memphis. it's billion almost 50 years since they killed her brother and she still has not been able to go back to the city of memphis. i don't know you about. i was so angry at the state of florida for the way they handled this initially, when they mishand ld it, for letting this guy off the hook, for the way the law is written. i've been mad at the state of florida. that's my own personal assessment. but how you have processed continuing to live in this place that has brought you so much pain? >> what i actually think is that florida started this mess withstand your ground. and so i don't think we should just pack up and leave and run. i never been

by 2002 they are still well behind but by 2013 new york is behind and florida is ahead because florida improved. florida and new york are similar states in free and reduced lunch students around 55%, and 50%, similar states. in terms of dollars which is the upper part of the chart, what happened consistent with earlier charts, very modest increases in real terms if spending. and for fiscal equity in 2007-2008 billions of additional dollars where the court order is. and consistent sound public policy, can be and is more effective than judicially enforced solutions. and do we think of what improved schools. and the education law center and professor robinson showed earlier, one of their people is an expert witness for the plaintiff. and reading this study carefully. and over 90% of the students on free and reduced lunch, the far right-hand side. they spent 20% more per student than in the schools with the least amount of kids and poverty, this is state, local and federal and federal is title i but if you were to do this, state and local similar thing, 20% more dollars in the schools with

it graders and night graders dropout in florida. there is no accountability because on the paperwork they have gone to an alternative school or gone to get a ged. if anyone ever looked into it, they would find this is not true. i'm going to stop you there because we are running short on time. iq for putting those issues on the table. guest: that is all interesting. we were just talking about adult education and dropouts. the thing this story got into about this was that this particular chain of for-profit thousandshools codes of kids as leaving for adult education every year across 21 schools in the state of florida. to use that code, the state of florida says you need to have proof that the child has either enrolled in an adult education class or taken and passed the ged. talking with the charter chain, they did not keep those kinds of records on each of the kids they were using those codes for. it raises the question whether these were really all dropouts, literally thousands of dropouts coming through these schools every year. i

we've come to florida with him a number of times. this was his habit and routine before he was president, to spend his winters in florida at his palm beach home. so he is continuing that now as president and trying to include some work activity. so the rally later today in orlando, also today since roughly 9:00 this morning, he has been at one of his golf clubs where we are told that he is holding meetings, doing calls, maybe having some recreation time. we don't have a specific readout of that. the intention is for it to be both work and relaxation over the weekend. the rallies are a way to get him outside the white house, outside the bubble of washington, and honestly, he has felt that he has been successful in that kind of venue where he can speak with either prepared remarks or sort of riffing about his own ideas and experiences. we saw a bit of it yesterday in south carolina where he attended an event for boeing with their new dreamliner. celebrating an american company. they're also the makers of air force one. he talked about

right now, third straight weekend in florida, palm beach, florida.taxpayer, money. lots of it. not only does the secret service have to protect multiple sites at one time but white house north of new york, the trump tower, and white house south in florida and white house in washington and a matter of protecting a very big first family. here's tom foreman. >> reporter: the cost of protecting the jet setting first family could be epic starting with the president, vice president, their wives, confidants, children, grandkids, over 20 people from the get-go. >> that's unprecedented. it's not unattainable to protect them all. it's just unprecedented. >> reporter: the equation is complicated by the trump family working out of so many places. the white house, the mar-a-lago club in florida, several private residences in and out of dc and trump tower in new york where the first lady calls home. joseph clancy. >> when i go into trump tower, the restaurant is tfull, the starbucks is full of people. is challenge is to permanently hiring out a whole floor for sec

in florida? >> i think there's probably an element of that. but i would also say it's not really unusual for presidents in the first couple of months to go out and do these type of events. i remember covering the bush white house in 2001. going with bush to south dakota and a number of red states that he had won in the early months and weeks of his administration. he did it for a very particular reason. he was going out and selling his tax cut proposal. he, so the white house staff was very well organized. they went out there and they were campaigning for a legislative agenda. barack obama did something very similar in his first weeks for the similar package and later for obamacare. what you hit on is there's no legislative agenda to speak of right now by the trump administration. there's no tax reform proposal that's being written. there's no repeal of obamacare that's been written. it does have a little more of an element of they've had a rough month, a disorganized white house so it does have

all five much them are located in my home state of florida. in fact all five of them have mailing addresses in south florida where i live. among the properties seized at u.s. register aircraft, it has been identified as block property owned or controlled by lopez veho with funds they were able to get by conducting prohibited be transactions dealing with drug traffickers. it is an outrage that the vice president of a country in our hemisphere not only is a trafficker but also in the business of selling passports an travel documents to people with links to terrorism. for years now i have been talking about how venezuelan officials were stealing from the people of venezuela and then they spend their riches living in the lap of luxury in my hometown of miami. and these announcements today further confirm how true this is and to the extent in which venezuelan officials have been yowl to freely travel and prance around u.s. soil with impunity. i am hopeful this is only the beginning of sanctions today, to make sure the maduro regime feels pressure t

everybody in the whole country was saying thank god for florida. [laughter] 29th out of 31, fourth grade reading. ten years later, with a huge fight starting with the campaign that said this is what i want to do and then i worked with a whole team too old what i said we were going to do, we were sixth out of 50 in ten years' teme. [applause] frankly, washington needs to have that. we these to have campaigns again where people run to say what they're going to do, and then we need to hold them to account. it's not that complicated. it's how it used to work with great regularity. and for us to fix the big things that will make it only for people to live lives of you were and meaning, that's the first step. the second thing i would sayay that i learned is that leaders need to create big, hairy, audacious goals. jim collins had a book, good to great -- it's a phenomenal book -- and in that book he talked about bhex. that was an acronym that i embraced, because you fill the space, and people have to respond when you have a big, hairy, audacious goal. and

>> it's florida. there ain't no leaders here. leaders are in puerto rico. >> all right, so who are the leaders of your group? >> i haven't been in communication with them since i left puerto rico so i couldn't tell you. >> do you know how your structure is set up, rank structure? >> yep. >> can you tell me? >> no. >> anything else you want to answer? add? thanks for your cooperation. >> coming up -- >> i turned, aimed and fired. he was 6 years old. >> a veteran inmate still suffers from an act of war. and later -- >> you can plead guilty, not guilty or no contest. >> alfredo roca moreno faces authorities over the lighter found in his mattress. have conquered highways, mountains, and racetracks. and now much of that same advanced technology is found in the audi a4. with one notable difference... ♪ the highly advanced audi a4, with available traffic jam assist. ♪ >>> at florida's santa rosa correctional institution, there is not only a code of conduct, but considerably higher expectations for the 43 inmates who make up the prison's

and that is what we did in florida.and tomorrow the class will hear from one of my colleagues about how that happened and how the fight never ended. but the basic result was this, there is a test called the nation academic education progress test. it is the only test that you can measure how students do state-by-state. you cannot teach to it, it is a test that has been validated -- in 1997 on the fourth grade reading test florida was 29th out of 31. anybody that follows all of these nerdy rankings when you were 29th of 30 when you basically say thank god for whatever. whatever the other two states were. your 50th out of the graduation rate. so everyone in the country was think they got for florida. 29th out of 30 when fourth grade reading, 10 years later with a huge fight started with a campaign is that this is what i want to do and then i worked with a whole team to students that i was going to do. with 6/50. at a tenuous time.

the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. nelson: mr. president, i want to speak about this nomination from the standpoint of our state, our state of florida, because we're famous for sugary white beaches, fertile fishing grounds, and unique environmental treasures such as the florida everglades. this precious natural resource and resources, it needs our protection and our stewardship. in fact, florida's multibillion-dollar tourism industry is driven by the fact that people come to our state to enjoy these kinds of environmental treasures. i've just come from a meeting of our american hotel, motel and lodging association with middle- with multibillion dollars of investment all over florida. well, what happens if the guests don't come? that's a major investment that is lost. and, oh by the way, a few years ago during the b.p. oil spill where the oil only got on as far east from louisiana and pensacola beach and some oil in dustin and some tar balls as far east as panama city beach, but not any farther. and yet the visitors didn't come bec
