two months ago the florida commission on ethics found unanimously that as mayor of tallahassee, gillum violated ethics laws with trips to costa rica and new york and of course take us to the broadway musical hamilton. did florida democrats really want someone who doesn't respect the will of the state's voters to be the catalyst for this? >> we have been able to legally count every one of those votes, not just in florida but also in georgia. i wonder what the outcome might be. >> laura: exactly what they are staying in georgia by the way. florida will be of vitally important state for president trump's reelection. it's clear the democrats will be relying on felons, displaced voters, and an ethics violator to throw the vote their way. what's the g.o.p. plan? we'll be watching. all right, we are so far removed now from september 11th that prison sentences without would last forever are now ending. and those terrorists are coming back into society. the counter extremism project is reporting that over the next five years, 61 terrorists, suspected terrorists, will be walking free. in a littl

when we heard that andrew gillum the former mayor of tallahassee who lost his bid to become governorrcentage point, when we heard he was going to make a big announcement today, a lot wonder when gillum would jump into the race. turns out that was not it. but what he did announce today might be just as important to the race in 2020 because he launched a new voter registration effort in the state of florida with the goal of registering a million new voters in florida to flip florida blue and put the nation's largest and most important swing state out of reach for donald trump in 2020. so that's exciting about florida politics. it's exciting about democratic politics. andrew gillum is not becoming one of the democrats running for office. but at this point it's easier to count the numbers who aren't getting in rather than the numbers who are. stay with us. numbers who are. stay with us i switched. we switched. i switched to chevy. i switched to chevy. we switched to chevy. we switched for value. for family. for power. it was time to upgrade. i switched from ram to chevy. see why people a

i had a sister-city relationship with israel when i was mayor of tallahassee.rael had nothing to do with money but deeply held beliefs and a relationship. that being said, i do believe that it is fair for to us engage in a real conversation and debate around special interests influence on u.s. foreign policy. i think it is appropriate for the congress and for a member of congress to talk about foreign policy in the u.s. relationship with other countries. i think that's wholly appropriate. the problem, however, is i think we've got to do a better job of not allowing the name calling to distract from what are, i think, important public policy debates. she's got to make atone meant a atonement and make sure there are supporters of her who are angered through this process and people who have been hurt by it. and if her intention was not to do so, you have to govern your language more appropriate. >> i so the second comment, has she apologized adequately. >> i think one of the things i think she ought do is make clear what was being said there. what i heard was that
