and the office of gillam says they hope to have something soon.ake sure that we talk to all parties and we are delighted to have both of you with us, congressman desantis and representative. >> thank you. we are on a roll in florida. unemployment rate is under four. we have opportunity to drive more investment. that will not happen though if we end up turning to andrew gillam 's policies who has aligned himself with the bernie sanders and cortez. a single payer healthcare system.we are committed to making sure that doesn't happen. neil: he still even with you in the polls which given some of the comments he made there, startling how floridians would put someone up there like that and have a meeting with you. >> here's the thing. no one thought he was going to win the primary. he skated through, he never had a single negative ad against him. a lot of floridians do not know what he necessarily stands for. they just know he's a democratic nominee. we are obviously very competitive state. i am the other hand, i say 17 million in negative attacks comin

look at what happened last here in florida, andrew gillam won.s calling for abolishing ice, he started a debate stage next to bernie sanders and called for a revolution. we don't want a revolution in florida but nevertheless that's what he's calling for. and in arizona, the guy who won the gubernatorial primary he doesn't just want to abolish ice, he said let's get rid of the southern border. these are crazy fringe ideas, andrew cuomo saying america was never great for taking over the democratic party, it's scary and frightening and it won't win a national stage. >> jason: tammy is sitting here in studio in new york, how do you see the democrats plan? i see them going further to the left. >> they do have a platform. bands draws, book out and out burger, cottle ms-13, abolish ice, demonize the police so they have a platform. it's clear. i wish they would listen to doug schon because i want an opposition party that is loyal and cares about the country but you're not seeing that manifest right now and that's because there's no leadership in the demo

he's running against somebody, andrew gillam, who's much more -- >> maybe not love nelson, but they certainly don't love scott. when we come back, as hurricane florence churns to the east coast. people trying to get away from the monster storm in cars, busses even ferries. we'll take you back to the scene just ahead. ♪ be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are

i actually don't think andrew gillam, the democratic nominee can be characterized as the alonely leftink what desantis did here is exactly the kind of thinga we're trying to push back against. so with conferences, with fellows that are brought here, with political conversations with people as diverse as anthony scaramuccscaramucci, si sanders, we're trying to make it so that people can talk and the personal attack and the fact-free argument should be put behind us. >> i want to know how are you going to work together in this new initiative? >> part of what we're trying to do is fight the rage in american politics that i'm right and you're evil. and if i'm right, you need to go to jail and anything you say is a lie. we believe in our folks, but at the end of the it, we're not mortal enemies, we're opponents, and in a world where you don't burn down the courtroom after the trial, you accept the verdict. like what bob said, with conferences, bring in the skills with the political science academy, we're looking at the impact of the economy and how it's disrupting political communications

democratic candidate andrew gillam will join us in minutes. >>> and a new poll shows president trump with record high disproval and strong support for robert mueller. >> you know, they have fake pole polls. >> but will it matter in november's mid-term elections? >>> hello, i'm dana bash in for jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is saying good-bye. it was a final salute to the country he served and animis takable rebuke to president trump. two former presidents, once bitter rivals offering their memories of senator john mccain and lamenting the current state of politics. >> it's a politics that pretends to be brave and tough but is in fact born in fear. >> we are better than this, america is better than this. >> veiled swipe said the man not in the room, the man not invited, president trump. as dignitaries gathered to mourn senator jk cane the president spent his morning attacking his rivals on twitter. the show of unity barely masking the deep divisions setting the stage for the labor day kick off of what is already a brutal mid-term election season. a clash of po

stepped into controversy after using racially tinged language to describe his opponent democrat andrew gillamfirst black governor if elected. desantis told the "washington post" he appreciates those who support his efforts and he is happy to be judged on his record. he does not buy into this six degrees of kevin bacon notion that he is responsible for the views and speeches of others. in three of the four speeches reviewed by the "washington post," desantis did not explicitly comment on race. >>> mick mulvaney warned that the party was battling serious vulnerabilities in the upcoming midterms. according to the "new york times" mulvaney raised the prospect that senator ted cruz of texas could lose his reelection bid because he's not seen as likable enough. mulvaney conceded that president trump's personal unpopularity was a problem for the party, but he predicted it would not be a decisive factor for most voters. he also alluded to mr. cruz as a lawmaker who might lack the charm to win a contested race this year. he said there's a very real possibility we will win a race for senate in florida

. >> if you look at andrew gillam last week in florida, these are -- alexandria ocasio-cortez.edicted to win who were down by 30 points in some cases and have marched on to victory because voters understand something the democratic party leadership doesn't seem to which is that with donald trump in the white house, we actually have not only a possibility but we have an obligation to elect leaders who will bring real progressive change. whether you're talking about single payer health care, whether you're talking about universal rent regulation, whether you're talking about new york becoming a leader in renewable energy. we have to elect more democrats this year but we also have to elect better democrats. >> seth: well, i want to ask about this because you know, obviously if you're running against a republican right now they would probably be attacking your lack of experience, but you're in this situation where even progressives who like your ideas are concerned about it. how do you address this fact that you aren't coming from a political background? especially at a time where

what you will also find sometimes is you will get a ocasio-cortez, you will get a gillam.tional kind of big city or city politician, the sort of ward healing boss politics kind of stuff, are the accusations against him. that's not a new idea, certainly in florida politics. you have to feel bad for a certain degree for florida democrats who in what was supposed to be an exciting race, gwen graham obviously looks like she would have been a with better choice for them, they passed her over for the next big thing. >> we're going to ask you to do what you shouldn't do, finger on the pulse, midterm elections, status of the house, what do you see 60 days out? >> the forecast will go in a range where the republicans hold on by about 10 seats to the democrats having about a 30 seat majority. all of those things are within play and that's why people should stay here and watch fox news constantly between now and then so they can know what's going to happen. >> and read your half time report which i do every day. >> every day. >> good advice. >> thanks for joining us. >>> we're going

. >> we saw gillam beat the establishment party pick.he jungle primary system. everyone no matter what your party is rent against each other at the top two go on? >> correct. everyone runs in the primary and when they do, you can vote for anybody on the ballot so democrat and republican, in the jungle primary i received 37% of the total a vote against a 14 year incumbent. >> that his neck in neck considering he has a lot of experience. what do you tell folks voting for you to take you over and win this election? >> we need real solutions for this community. this is the fourth congressional district in the country with 412 out of 435 lowest income in the united states, 9 in ten people have a high school degree and for our add community here, we don't have water. jim costa has been a career politician for 40 years. and he is a member of congress. he has a vision for the community. >> a big issue in california, the homeless population a big issue here, what are your plans for those issues? >> we need immigration reform. as the daughter of r
