here to respond is florida governor ron desantis. the irony is if we use the left's definition of racism and xenophobia, they define it. what they're missing is joe biden has been flying and bussing illegal immigrants every day across the country in the dark of night just leaving them in the middle of the street. why are they only now paying attention to 50 people you sent? >> well, sean, it's frustrating. you have been covering this. millions of people since biden has been president illegally coming across the southern border. did they freak out? no. you had migrants die in the rio grande and 50 die in a trailer? they have victimized americans, killing some and raping some. any outrage? no. and fentanyl is coming over the open southern border. it's only when 50 are put in martha's vineyard -- they said they wanted this this. these are people who were destitute and put in a situation where they could have succeeds, not only did they not welcome them. they departed them the next day with the national guard -- give me a break! >> sean:

is biden going to fly to florida, try to hug ron desantis, and should ron desantis hug him back?'s appropriate. the federal government has responsibilities under the law. people like having the president come in an aftermath of something like this. look, what i think governor desantis is keep the politics out of this. he's completely focused on doing his job. if the president comes to visit, he should welcome him, thank him for his assistance. i'm absolutely confident he will. and remember, if you step back from this, the only politics about this is if you're up to the job. if you're the mayor of new orleans, and you don't seem to be up to the job after katrina, the voters respond. if you're the governor of florida, like jeb bush, and those before and after him, governor scott who seemed to be in charge of these things, doing the right thing, they're rewarded by the people of their state, because that's what they want a governor to do, to be in charge of something like this when the moment comes. >> jesse: do you think if ron desantis renamed florida ukraine joe biden would give

so that inhumane treatment happened to ron desantis in his state. the administration is now clearly attempting to quietly resettle the roughly three million, i repeat, three million illegal immigrants who have poured across our southern border since joe biden's inauguration. in july alone nearly 200,000 illegal immigrants entered texas, arizona, california illegally. and, remember, these are the people who are apprehended by border patrol. so we have no idea how many more may have entered the country undetected. by the way we're also getting people on terror watch lists that are being caught and some are getting by. that is not good for the country's security. what we do know that while the spoiled liberal virtue signaling residents of martha's vineyard are freaking out over 50 illegal immigrants, border towns and states are in an actual state of crisis. they have had to deal with millions of illegal immigrants, not 50. and tonight the city of el paso is totally and completely overwhelmed with around a thousand illegal immigrants now sleeping on the

actually, it's not ron desantis is your, your boss, president joe biden was putting lives at risk. even cnn is not covering at 750 migrants have died this year coming here. that is way more than last year, also on biden's watch which was a 557 and we know that dhs is no longer reporting those numbers and i wonder why. as a terror watch list, we have almost 80 coming on the terror watch list that's just what we know and all of this while the sham lawsuit, and you know the announcement, i stand against ron desantis. only three of the 50 migrants according to the texas tribune's center for the lawsuit. there were some of the same family and this is organized by left-wing groups who have an agenda not against ron desantis essentially. >> they signed consent form before they put on the bus. so he's in the clear. >> but according to them they were kidnapped. if the haley's good point, their native now, that a bank indicated a classic country is that migrants of the centers. the reality is this event activist groups that have teamed up with other legal groups that says he signed handed do

florida republican governor ron desantis has a migrant problem. is that he does not really have a migrant problem. which, as he reportedly told republican donors, is a competitive disadvantage, should he find himself in a republican presidential primary against governor greg abbott. in order to appeal to republican voters, desantis has to get himself into the trump zone on immigration, and so he had 50 venezuelan refugees flown from texas to martha's vineyard, where he promised them that there would be jobs and other financial support for them. ron desantis is now facing a class action lawsuit for violating the civil rights of those victims, with that stump. the lawsuit alleges that ron desantis designed and carried out in illegitimate and -- exploiting this vulnerability for the sole purpose of advancing their own personal, financial, and political interests. jose, one of the interest -- deceived and advantage by rod -- told the washington post, i tell you how i felt i want to cry. i felt destroyed inside, tricked, frightened. i did not know if t

ashley: yeah, good morning, maria, ron desantis is everywhere, he as you mentioned raised record number amount of money as of september the ninth, desantis raised whopping $177.4 million for reelection campaign as you can see nine times democratic opponent with 20 million, with 49 days to go before the november election his campaign approach has been, well, somewhat unconventional spending a lot of time away from florida to campaign on behalf of other republicans, new mexico, pennsylvania. his freedom agenda is hitting a cord with the conservative base especially on the issue illegal immigration and the crisis at the southern border, listen. >> when you have criminal aliens that have gotten across the border and those criminal aliens then go and victimize american citizens, do you ever hear anything by the folks? they want open borders, they want you to deal with open borders but they want to be immune from the consequences of the policies. ashley: that's why he sent migrants to martha's vineyard. the desantis campaign is running an ad in florida who highlights mother whose son was kill

a chartered flight, it sounds like, under false pretenses, frankly, by forsome reason governor ron desantis of florida. not certain why he's inserting himself in texas, and sent them to martha's vineyard. and locals are now scrambling to find help for them. do you understand what governor desantis is doing? >> yes, i do. he's playing politics with people's lives. he's playing politics with people's lives like governor george wallace did during segregation. if you want governor george wallace's legacy to be the future of the republican party, then that's exactly what ron desantis is showing all of america today. now, that didn't stop ron desantis from coming to these same massachusetts islands a month ago. he was on nantucket a month ago to fund raise for his own political campaigns. what's going on here is pure politics and it's disgraceful. >> let's look at it for a solution. if we just look at texas's point of view for a moment, they're saying they're overwhelmed. according to u.s. border patrol, they have 1.9 million encounters a year, this past year, just to date with migrants. somewher

governor ron desantis is not backing down.lawsuit tonight after sending nearly 50 migrants to martha's vineyard. but, he does not seem bothered. in fact, he's threatening to keep it up. so much to discuss now. cnn senior political analysis ron brownstein. hello, ron. >> hello. >> on sunday, governor desantis received a standing of asian in kansas after sending 50 migrants to martha's vineyard. he has defended, even bragged about it. he's under very heavy criticism for the stunt. but i mean, it obviously got a lot of support in certain republican circles. >> yeah, look, the august part of the rationale for this is that in his personal interests, his political interest, to be seen as a fire in the trump mold. to be seen as someone who's willing to be outrageous and push beyond the boundaries in taking the fight to liberals, and you know, threatening liberal institutions, which he's done in a variety of ways in florida already. but i think -- stop there, because there is a substitute dynamic there as well. because what we are see

ron desantis.ng me former governor and congressman, charlie crist, democratic nominee for florida governor and the man who i still call governor kris since i was a floridian. governor kris, let's go through this. >> sure. >> what i recall about your exit from the republican party was that it kind of began in 2008 when you as governor said, no, don't shut the lines down, allow people to vote. this is when president obama, then-senator obama was running when long lines were forming. you sided with teachers when the legislators tried to go after their tenure. did you foresee we would get to a point where the republican party in your state would be looking the other way, for instance, at nazis marching openly with ron desantis signs? did you see it sliding as far as it has slid in your state and nationally in the party? >> no, joy. i mean, i don't think anybody saw it getting that metastasized or that extreme, but that's exactly what we're witnessing in florida right now. what's really disturbing about

. >> let's be clear about what ron desantis is doing. trying to enrage and he is more focused on the people of martha's vineyard and the reaction from democrats than the welfare of these people and the kind of politics that has rewarded republican politicians in the last six years since donald trump was running for president but undermines the sense of the system generally. whatever hope we have, the president likes to talk about unity and the soul of america. i think republicans think he hasn't hit that note correctly but leaves us in the same place. >> they know that immigration is a sensitive issue for this administration. they were dealing with a surge of children, then they had a moment where they had migrants under a bridge, and now this. the administration will argue it's a western hemisphere issue, but these governors that in the u.s. it resonates. >> what strikes me is democrats have made a choice here. as we have been discussing this bussing has been going on since april but 50 migrants in martha's vineyard kicked off a pushbac

watch. >> they are not angry at ron desantis. they're thanking him for having brought them to martha's vineyard. >> tucker: well, yeah. they're thankful. they got a free flight to the vineyard. at first, it seemed they had every reason to be grateful because the people of the town appeared to welcome them as they walked in from the airport, 3 1/2 miles, they saw signs like this one, on martha's vineyard, the sign reads, we stand with immigrants, with refugees, all are welcome here. hate has no business here. in other words, no one working for donald trump can go to martha's vineyard. they didn't know there was a caveat to that welcome. hate is not welcome here. okay. then on thursday, an elected official on the island gave the migrants even more reason for hope. and we're quoting. this is a community rallying to support immigrant children and families, state the state representative, dylan fernandez. it's the best of america. then to prove his point that martha's vineyard will do whatever it can for immigrants, fernandez uploaded

so why martha's vineyard was chosen by ron desantis is also an open question. >> too much of a mystery. we know it's part of this political stunt to say, oh, the obamas are there, the wealthy democrats are there. the problem with martha's vinyard is there are not a lot of people there right now to accept the migrants. i will say this, this is, first of all, a political stunt, yes, absolutely. it's costing millions of dollars for these governors and these states to move migrants from one part of the country to another and just drop them there. we should note when you look at those images, there are children. some of them are very young. these are people. >> human beings. >> they're human beings. so that's one thing. i think the lack of resources. but the other part of this is that democratic governors and mayors do need to find a way to figure out how they can manage the load. because if the policy prescription is that the united states ought to be able to welcome these people in, they ought to be able to welcome these people in. prior notice is important. it should be happening -- >> i

because governor newsom, governor of california, why would he be so interested in florida governor ron desantis isn't going to run for president or has some possible intentions to. and thinks that governor desantis is the future of the republican party and oh, by the way, desantis just broke a gubernatorial fundraising record in florida, 177 point $4 million. that looks like enthusiasm. >> steve: unbelievable. >> brian: sense is after the midterm trump declares. big question will desantis do it anyway. i also think it's important to bring that up gavin newsom, the only negative thing he has on him is his performance and track record. the only thing he has been successful at is everyone wanting to leave to california that he has lorded over. the only thing worse in california as a whole is san francisco specifically where he was mayor. where the only thing he has led is grown the homeless population the way he shut down that city. the way he kept the kid out of school. the way he ate at the french laundry. the way he put his kids in private school. i have never seen -- i give you, he looks the p
