the head of the school board in tallahassee told the local paper that parents rights are supreme and we can see spreading nationally where parents are flexing their muscles about what they do and don't want to see an curriculum. on thursday, the american library association came out with its latest research showing that a record number of books were banned last year, the most in its 20 year history. and this is a worrisome sign. i think it's interesting because the board the chair of the school board there in tallahassee, the classical school board chair was saying that 97% of the sixth grade parents were fine with this lesson, but there, they did receive a few complaints from others, but it is possible congressman that had she sent out the notification whether or not you believe the notification is just sort of an onerous piece of protocol that can be argued, but she might still have her job if she sent out that notification to parents. yeah well, i think one day she'll be happy that she's no longer teaching the children of a bunch of crazy people. i mean, this is percent didn't lik

due to the confusing law that tallahassee republicans put into law these officials mistakenly misled these individuals by telling them they were eligible to vote. armed with this new election police unit, desantis administration arrested 20 people who were along the 11 million floridians who voted in 2020 elections. the republicans in tallahassee and washington are using fear and misinformation to disenfranchise millions of voters because they know their policies are not popular. it is time that governor desantis and the florida legislature honored the will of our constituents and implement amendment 4 as it is written. it is now my privilege to yield to the honorable ms. terri sewell from the state of ala alabama. ms. sewell: today i rise to join with my c.b.c. colleagues in commemorating the 58th anniversary of bloody sunday and call on my colleagues to take action to protect our most valuable and sacred right to vote. as the daughter of selma, alabama, it was in my home top of selma, exactly 58 years ago, where john lewis and the foot soldiers shed planned parenthood on the edmund

last week, in the state capital of tallahassee, a school principal resigned after parents complained that a lesson on michaelangelo's david exposed sixth graders to pornography. oh, yeah. oh, yeah. baby. my favorite part of any porno is when someone is standing flacid while thinking about murdering a giant. oh, yeah.

"look, i just wanna know when the nudes are gonna show up. also the kinda nudes. what are we talking about? tasteful, or like, the good stuff? 'cause i'm an art lover." i mean i'm a concerned parent. i mean i'm a concerned parent. obviously this is silly. and the people over in italy agree. which is why in response, this week, the florence museum that exhibits the statue invited the parents and students to visit, saying, "to think that

the governor of florida, he is taking his time, he has' legislative session in tallahassee.e wants to put points on scoreboard. then if he announces, i suspect he will, it will be mayor june, but trump is not wasting time, he has been test driving a bunch of nicknames for ron desantis. you are right. that you are not in necessarily officially the fire, until you make that announcement. but i think it is clear who trump fears the most on the republican side of things. as for the others, i understand that desire to wait and see who else does or does not get in, maybe you are trying to line up certain endorsements or donors. at some point we're sitting here with two major candidates, no other it is respect to others in trump and nikki haley, but some names are still expected it pull the trigger, for whatever reason they are holding off. trey: guy, a f philosophical question for you, are there so few differences among republican potential presidential candidates they engage in twitter fights and nickname fights or is that when they think the primary voter wants, i would like a h

last week a principal in tallahassee, florida, was forced to resign after a single parent claimed thated to pornography because they were shown a picture of michaelangelo's statue of david. today we are learning that an elementary school in st. petersburg, florida, is barring students from watching a film about civil rights icon ruby bridges, a 6-year-old black girl who integrated new orleans schools in the 1960s. that, too, is after a single parent filed a complaint saying that the movie isn't appropriate for second-graders because it might teach them that, quote, white people hate black people, end quote. the school had sent parents a permission slip asking whether their children could watch the movie, which is a disney movie, by the way. about 60 kids watched the film. the two families would not give their children parent to watch. her claim was enough for the school to say they're banning the movie until further notice while they review the complaint. one single parent who admitted she only watched the first 50 minutes of the film. the common thread in all of these stories is that

not like desantis is just in tallahassee. he has been around the country. a smart move for him to make the country his focus group to tip his toe in the water and say you know, let me see what's out there. if there is really as great excitement for my candidacy among voters as there are among political prague no, sir indicators. we sat on election night and dana on the mid-term fox coverage. if anybody had said that night that come march donald trump would be beating ron desantis by significant double digits, 30 points in the fox news poll in late march, that person would have been seen -- something i said to dana on your program november 18th, 2022, which is that voters decide who our presidents are, not the donors, not the pollsters, anchors or political class. the more voters are told who can win and who can't win the more they like to remind all of us they have a voice and choice. i think what's most significant about the fox news poll is trump is up by 15 points among women from the last poll. you have the stormy daniels stuff going on. he is up 17 poi

last week a principal in tallahassee was forced to resign after a single parent complained that studentsstatue of david. a school in florida is boring students from watching a film about a six-year-old black girl that integrated schools in the 60s, that was after a single parent filed a complaint, they said it might teach students that white people hate black people. a petition was created so that students could watch the film, 60 kids watched the film, one of the parents filed a formal complaint and the school said they are banning the movie until further notice due to one single complaint. the common thread is in florida it takes a single parent to complain for schools to ban books and other teaching materials, so far it is happening in a informal way but two weeks ago a panel approved a bill that could prompt a statewide removal of books and other materials if just one parent objects. if this sounds outlandish, if you think there is no way something that extreme can pass, i have three

hearing we had on house bill 999 this week, 220 people came out to testify against that bill here in tallahassee. to the point where the senate actually amended their version to adjust to some of the points that people made in the house. so this backlash is happening from everyday people, but we have to maintain it not just through legislative session, but also to the next election cycle so we can make sure that we elect people who have everyone's best interests in mind, not just a few elites, not just their own political agenda. >> i've got to ask you it seems like the fear is the point in all of this, right even if there are challenges the idea that these laws exist, that they've been proposed on passed by the legislature seems to almost be the point, in the same way that conservatives are trying to throw fear into the mix when it comes to abortion or access to abortion or abortion medication, the entire point is to terrify people enough to make choice that is aren't good for them or to actually prevent them from seeking out the truth i wonder if that strategy is working or whether you think t

anything so she said let's get through the election we said you know since people are going to be in tallahassee for the swearing in on january 8 why don't we just do it at the governor's residence and will baptize in their my uncle is a priest he can handle all that so we ended up doing that i got sworn and we did the speech we canceled the parade which i was happy to do the -- cancel the parade now the problem is we just left the water out in one of the rooms we then go to the inaugural ball morning i wake up and asked my wife did you get the water customer and she's like no i think it's downstairs i said i don't know if it's so there so i rushed down and it's spick-and-span there's nothing left if you saw this and you had to clean you wouldn't think anything of it so basically we were out of water so i went to south florida at one of the synagogues with some of the rabbis and i announce i said listen justly you know we are now out of water from the sea of galilee we don't have a bun in the oven right now but you never know what the future holds so within 24 hours there were people in the seat

i think there will be news out of tallahassee in the coming days and weeks because of that. on dana's point here the last chapter in your book is 6 1/2 pages long. it is the shortest chapter. the title is make america florida. now, in your view what does that look like and in your timeline when do you make the decision on that? >> sure. part of the reason i titled it that is because as we got to the end of 2020, you started to see the hats and shirts and flags in florida and even in other states. i had nothing to do with it. this was all organic where people were basically saying the country has problems obviously. we've seen that over the last two years. but florida can do it right. why is it that florida can do it right and we have other good republican states that can do it right yet the biden model is failing our country, failing states like illinois and california. what is it about florida? so we talk about some of those things. but i think it has been a leader to not only be a model for other states, i do think it could be nationally. we will be working through over th

. >> let's get straight to tallahassee.ut ron desantis is saying, hello, america. >> reporter: that's not a bad way to put it. he just wrapped up a bit a ago. he absolutely listed off those political victories and used floridians to keep the embodies and ul straits the vikts and the priorities on his agenda during that speech. from police to teacher, and teachers pretty critical because education has become something that he has prioritized on that platform of he wants a teachers bill of rights to expand school choice and fortify parent's rights. you absolutely see those reflectsed in the bills of the wish list already at play on the floor. case in point, just before his speech, republicans filed a bill to ban abortion after six weeks, currently in florida it stands at 15 weeks. and then in his speech, he said, and quote, we are proud to be pro family. we are proud to be pro life in the state of florida. one more note that i found interesting. i want you to listen to how he finished off this speech. >> i guess thoer all the
