in the state of florida, 97% of businesses don't pay taxes at all. i'm not proposing to change that. our proposal is for the 3% of the wealthiest corporations in the state, 3% who under the trump tax scam supported by my colleague here, walked away with $6.3 billion of our money, working people's money. corporations can keep $5.3 billion but we are taking 1 billion of that invest in public education in the state. florida salaries average 45th lowest, the third largest state in america, 45th lowest. what we are saying is for our young people who need access to the kind of skills training that used to exist, workshop, mechanical, electrical, we are going to reproduce that to our public education system so we can train the workers that will go and do these jobs. desantis: andrew advocated a higher sales tax in tallahassee in the commission, voted to raise property taxes on middle income taxpayers, even though he voted to give himself $80,000 in additional retirement benefits, and that doesn't work and as mayor he imposed a stiff property increase on midd

mayor gillum: i am the mayor of the capital city of the state of florida. we are among the fastest growing economies in the state per capita, one of the fastest growing in the nation per capita. won a designation for the work we are doing to retrain this generation of workers on the technology-related jobs they are doing today. the congressman can speak from the cheap seats because he has never let a city. while in the majority party in congress, he never passed a piece of legislation. rep. desantis: under mayor gillum's leadership, tallahassee is the most crime-ridden city in the state of florida. last year, the highest number of murders in the history of the city. you have burglaries, car thefts, violent crime. he has failed the people of tallahassee with that record. he did raise taxes. he didn't deny it. he opposed a stiff property tax increase even though he voted to give himself tens of thousands of dollars of additional benefits. mayor gillum: we don't collect enough in our city in property taxes to pay for our police department alone. he keeps toutin

we have thomas patrick barber to the united states district judge for the middle district of florida. wendy williams berger united states district judge for the middle district of florida, corey mays, mr. mays has been nominated to the president for the u.s. district court, northern district of alabama. rodney smith to united states district judge for the southern district of florida and thomas kent weather. the second to the united states district judge for the northern district judge of florida. we will turn to opening statements. you each have five minutes if you go over, you won't get taste or anything. >> good morning. i am honored and humbled to be here and participate in the advice and consent process given to us by the constitution. i want to thank chairman grassley, ranking manner feinstein, and her -- and you chairman kennedy for giving us a hearing. i want to thank the president for nominating me and i would like to especially thank our home state senators, nelson and rubio for all of their help and the help of their staff in this process. you may know from florida, we have

in the state of florida today. just a moment we'll breakdown the state. the what ifs and all of the scenarios in florida. our first reporter is from florida and knows it better than i do. blake has the report from the white house before the president leaves. >> it always comes down to florida in one way or another, right connell. it will be 11 different stops in eight different states as we head down the stretch. the president will head to florida and there are a few big races there for national exposures. the first one is the democrat trying to hold on. the out going governor rick scott is the one challenging him. when you look at the polling this is razor thin within the margin of error. the same goes as well for the last few days. scott is out going and the governor's mansion is up for grabs. congressman rob is a supporter of president trump. he's the republican on the ticket. andrew who is the mayor is the democrat that has gone back and forthwith president trump over the last few days this is the first of the 11 stops. after florida he will head to mi

states like tennessee, arizona, nevada. but they also have to hold some seats. floridak scott has been an ally of president trump but distanced himself from trump lately on things like the response to hurricane maria, which affected puerto rico, on gun control, but you have nelson going at him over things he did as a healthcare ceo, the columbia hca, the company he headed, before becoming a politician was hit with one of the largest medicare fraud fines in history. and so it's business practices against a long-time politician classic match-up and an extremely close race >> is there any kind of a reverse psychology effect from the kavanaugh hearings we've been hearing more and more about the theory that if kavanaugh -- first off, the gop is fired up because they feel like he's mistreated if kavanaugh were to lose, were to not make the supreme court, were to be either disqualified or he takes himself out, it could be a boost to the gop because it gets the fire lit up under the republicans. anything to that that you can seeing down in florida >> seeing and hearing from str

gillum today is florida, his state is turning out to be its own nexus for this dark moment we're having as a country. before the synagogue massacre suspect was in court today in pennsylvania, this morning in florida, it was the first court appearance for the mass bombing suspect, who is now alleged to have mailed not 13, not 14, but maybe 15 explosive devices to prominent democrats and other people identified by president trump and in the conservative media as critics of the president. this new device was discovered today apparently addressed to cnn headquarters in atlanta. it appears to be part of the bombing campaign that produced 14 other devices but we're sort of waiting for confirmation on that. the fbi is also now reportedly fanning out around the country, warning other people who they've now discovered may also have been targeted by this bomber, now that they've got access to his electronic devices presumably and all of his material possessions, presumably that's how they're figuring out who this guy was researching and plotting against. so the fbi is warning people all over the

do you go towards the middle. >> he's have to realize that florida is a purple state and he will haveget some of these independent voters. if you look at florida registration, the independents have increased very significantly. he's going to have to get some independents. for him to come out in the first week of a general primary to be talking about the environment and red algae is an anomaly to any other republican that's run statewide. he realized that florida is a bigger complicated state. here is how the washington post puts rick scott strategy to keep donald trump at arms length. he is hoping it's crafted an image independent of trump. scott began tempering his out spokenness for the president over the past 18 months as he geared up to challenge nelson. it's a strategy that's built around political necessity due to trump's relative unpopularity among some florida voters as well as scott's own desire to move beyond the divisive, political and cultural battles that define part of his tenure as governor. it's surprising in a state to have to distance yourself from him. >> donald tru

wendy williams burger, united states district judge for the middle district of florida. corey langdon -- is it mays? he's been nominated by the president for the northern district of alabama. rodney smith, the united states district judge of the southern district of florida, and thomas kent weatherall, did i say that right? [ inaudible ] >> the second to be united states district judge for the northern district of florida. we'll turn to opening statements. you each have five minutes if you go over, you won't get tased or anything. >> well, good morning. i'm honored and humbled to be here with you all today to participate in the advice and consent process given to us by the constitution. i want to thank chairman grassley, ranking member feinstein, you, senator kennedy, for presiding today and all of the members of the judiciary committee and your staff for giving us a hearing. i appreciate that very much. i want to thank the president for nominating me, obviously, and i would like to especially thank our home state senatorses, nelson and rubio for all of their help and the

florida massively expanded the felonies felonies in the state. ey made it so if you have a felony, you u could not vote. in this disproportionately targeted african-americans to the point after the law passed, 95% of prisoners in florida's camps were african-american. it has spread beyond african-americans to the entire state. you u have a situation where in floridida, about 1.7 million people can't vote. this amendment would restore million of those. 500,000 are african-american. the rest are white and latino. i think that is one of the reasons you have seen such a big coalition rally behind this because it is not just african-americans being disenfranchised. a lot of white republican trump supporters cannot vote in florida, either. but the numbers are so staggering. 10% of people in the country's most important swing statate not being able to vote. i think all of the attention on georgia voter suppression is warrananted, but we're talking -- 53,000hrough people. in florida, we're talking about 1.4 million people that mike at the right to vote ba

all it takes in a state like florida. that was the case. what is driving that enthusiasm? is sitting else? seemed like it picked up in other states after the kavanaugh hearings? >> well the kavanaugh effect definitely had an effect here in the state of florida, what is really having an effect here, we have a great story here. low unemployment. a lot of republican success. we've had success here with donald trump and we have this dynamic where people want to continue that. we'll have that with ron desantis. republicans are really fired up right now. we're heading to the polls in droves. i expect that to continue from now up until election day and on election day. connell: desantis seeing numbers with gillum up a couple points with realpolitiks average. similar on the senate side of things. i spoke to karl rove, i was speaking about the president, he is going through the president's supporters. 2/3 are all in, they love the guy and love policies. but it is that 1/3 of president trump's supporters according to karl do like policies but are not sold on the guy? how does that af

people like to call florida sunshine state because it is so florida sunshine state because it is so funnyhe second amendment. there has certainly been a move to be more liberal on gun laws here but it is a very divisive issue still in the state of florida. the big question is will young people come out in larger numbers with the youth led movement from parkland and that might sway where the margins remain very close historically? david, thank you very much. that issue of the youth vote is so interesting because youth voters, young voters in america are sometimes described as the bride that keeps you waiting at the altar, they never show up. every election cycle there is a lot of interest in whether young voters will turn up. because of parkland, all the rallies organised by parkland students on theissue organised by parkland students on the issue of gun control. they all talked about that time about how important these elections were. it will be interesting in this state and nationally to see whether young people do show up in the mid—term elections. really interesting. a couple of weeks

in the last hour, hurricane michael has made landfall on the coast of florida in the us. the state'sas warned that it is expected to be the most destructive storm to hit the region in a century. hundreds of thousands of people in florida have been urged to leave their homes. the category four storm, with winds of up to 145 miles an hour, could produce waves 13 feet high. this is the expected path of the storm — starting off with north western florida before it heads north east towards north and south carolina — which were heavily hit by hurricane florence last month. the storm is expected to bring extremely heavy rain to the region and could cause widespread flooding. president trump has declared a state of emergency in florida. we'll have the very latest shortly from our correspondent in florida, gary o'donoghue. first, this report compiled earlier byjon donnison. retained michael is looking towards florida. or as. retained michael is looking towards florida. oras. sustained winds retained michael is looking towards florida. or as. sustained winds of up florida. or as. sustained win

florida state university, panama city campus reporting wind gusts of 160 miles per hour. panama city at the treatment plant there, 94-mile per hour winds with hurricane michael. dangerous , damaging winds. also looking at heavy rain, 8-12 inches of rain. of course, that is not a good thing, that storm surge, heavy rain and strong winds. watching that very closely for hurricane michael. our thoughts are with everyone there from the panhandle of florida all the way up to the carolinas. here at home, this is a live look. very grateful to be living here in the bay area. blue skies out there, temperatures are on the cool side things to onshore flow. 70 concord, 63 oakland, livermore 67. 24 hour temperature change, much cooler compared to yesterday, at this time. we are talking 15 degrees cooler in santa rosa. 9 degrees cooler nevada, feeling the difference with that cooler air. that area of low pressure over the northwest, that ridge of high pressure off to our west here without flow around those two weather features bringing that onshore flow. ocean breeze today and tomorrow.

florida. the hospitals took a tremendous hit. we are assisting state and local governments to evacuate patients, get them stabilized. it's my understanding we have set up what are called decompression units, over three right now. these are triage centers to backfill medical support where we have lost the capability of some of the hospitals and we will continue to work and stabilize those areas. obviously we are doing damage assessments, moving d.s.a. support teams in to start registering people. the other focus is on communications. you have to be able to communicate to appropriately respond and we are trying to do everything we can to get the private sector vendors, verizons of the world, to get in to try to get their systems back up and running so that not only -- so citizens can begin to communicate on a normal routine. that will take some time because the infrastructure was damaged. it's still not safe to return tuckly to bay county, florida. there is no infrastructure there to support you. quite honestly, it's a dangerous area to go into. when you

>> yes, the state of florida, the dilemma is this. we spent all day yesterday talking about a category 2. and a lot of distracting political discussions dominated the air waves. that's just the way things happen coming out of washington. so a lot of people who respond to categories stayed put. people that are in atlanta, along that i-10 corridor that probably would have moved if the prediction was category 4. but we've got to remember, mother nature always has a vote. the storm had a vote, and it moved up to a 4 overnight. and that is going to catch a lot of people who may have evacuated early to be in the path of this storm. there's still time for people to evacuate that have calm winds and this storm continued to move at over 100 miles an hour. if you are in an unsafe structure, we still need to be getting people to shelters. and that's my biggest concern that we don't have enough shelters open to take care of the vulnerable population who live in vulnerable housing. >> yeah, i share that concern with you. and this storm as we've be
