the free state of florida.are going to be able to have those debates but to me, the debate about what state is governed better, florida or california that debate has been answered by people voting with their feet. the debate is useful because california is the petri dish for american liberalism and american leftism and what biden is doing are things that california was doing many years ago. what california is doing now is likely what a second biden term would do or kamala harris or newsom himself, who knows, that is what they would do. the country is in a state of decline, economic decline, cultural decline, military decline. the california model represents more american decline, the florida model represents a way for us to reverse american decline, represents a way to have an american revival and that is ultimately the choice people are going to have to make, this is our time for choosing, president reagan said in his day his generation of americans had a rendezvous with destiny. we have a rendezvous with dest

florida also produces more than 70% of the nations oranges.n the nation for book banning. according to our friends at pan america, a nonprofit dedicated to the freedom to read and write, florida has officially surpassed texas as the nation's leading state for banning books this school year. some 40% of book removed from public school libraries and classrooms take place in florida. the majority of the challenges happen on the school district level where local school boards are inundated with complaints seemingly from individual parents, and lists from highly organized activist groups of titles they want censored. no work of literature seems to be safe, not shakespeare's romeo and juliet, not judy blume's generation defining, are you there god, it's me, margaret. and certainly not most of jordan pecos collection of best selling novels. perhaps more insidious, the sheer volume of books being censored in governor desantis's stat is the fact that florida is creating a roadmap for other conservative states to follow. since we began holding meetings

how is your group fit in florida leading this push to fully teach black history in florida, even if itof the classroom? >> yes, thank you reverend sharpton. what we are doing is organizing black churches across the state to commit and take a pledge that we will teach black history to our children. young people overall, because the watered down version that has been taught is not real, it's not authentic. we are taking the responsibility upon ourselves to make sure that black history will be taught in its full truth. the black church has always played an active role in teaching our children. we are just going to continue that and make sure that it's still done in a way that our children can receive the best through our churches. >> you are galvanized by florida's decision earlier this year to ban an advanced placement african american history course from the states high schools. that decision of course, following the states so called stop woke act of 2022. restricting how race is taught in the states public schools. i know that many -- coming down there with our b homes, bishop rudy mck

about florida? >> representative frost: i am proud to be a florida man.ome from the great state of florida. i come from the beautiful state. florida is a progressive state in terms of policy. when the last few election cycles over 60% of floridians have said yes to medical marijuana, a $15 minimum wage, giving voting rights of people both previous felonies. these are progressive policies that most floridians are for. we have a problem right now with the difference between policy and politics. that's why -- >> stephen: and impleme implementation. giving the vote back to people who had served their sentences, roadblocks were thrownin front of that by the desantis administration we had to pay fees back or something. >> representative frost: poll tax. >> stephen: how do you square your vision of florida being actually progressive and something like a six week abortion ban that was just signed by desantis. those things don't seem to go together. speech and they don't go together and that's why he signed that abortion ban in the middle the night and he doesn't

particularly, states like california and florida. california's overregulated market exit very difficult for insurance companies to make a profit. one of the reasons why you see whether it is state farm, aig or the insurance companies that we just named leaving markets is because the rates efficiency is impossible to get there and the inability to find a path forward whether it is the enough ip that provides some reduction of that risk or to get our arms around the catastrophic occurrences from coast to coast. whether it is a hurricane, a flood or tornadoes, we have not really wrestled with the actual damages done by catastrophic occurrences. if you are on the coast or in the south, whether it is louisiana, florida were, we account for half of all of the premiums. what happens in new york or new jersey or ohio, the policyholders never heard of or thought of the flood insurance policy so they are drawing money out of the account without putting resources in so we have some real challenges that we should identify, understand and appreci

but we did in florida is a model that can work for the country. but.hannoshannon: of the things yon legal fights not surprise let's talk but the fact the supreme court is taken up the social media law they have here in florida similar one to consider out of texas. essentially the premise of social media companies to be unable to ban, restrict or remove most content they would have to explain what their censorship or the policy plans are. opponents argue the first amendment means that only people the freedom to save they want but you cannot force people to host our support an idea that they don't. one of the opponents of the texas lassiter force americans everywhere to endure racial, aggressive, beheadings or other gruesome content just as they're scrolling run online so the first moment protects free speech and also perhaps the government from telling entities but they have to do and what they have to say or endorse progress two different things when i don't think the sensitively through a preferred example they have a right is private companies to dec
