webster of florida. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 965, the gentleman from florida, mr. webster, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida. mr. webster: thank you, mr. chair. i rise today on behalf of my colleague from florida, ms. lois frankel, to offer a nonpartisan amendment that ms. frankel and i have been working on for sometime. it applies common sense to routine maintenance for dredging in the inland navigational channels. specifically, this amendment would waive a requirement for routine maintenance dredging. when a waterway is initially dredged, the project's sponsor has to mitigate for the impact vegetation to sea grass. it grows like a weed and must be routinely dredged to keep it clear. unfortunately, the project sponsor is required to do costly environmental mitigation every time just to keep the waterway open and operating. it's using the exact same -- instead of using the permit that's already been given and the mitigation that's already happened for that particular area. this additional round of

the primary in florida is not until august. desantis has moved from the back of the pack to first place. we have a governor's race there. lou: just for a second, we should point out, desantis was running behind in that race. >> way behind. lou: until the ft stepped u pred up and said desantis is the man, my full endorsement and the next thing he's got a double digit lead in the race for governor of florida. >> against a formidable establishment candidate who is expected to be the nominee. critical state for us. most important state in the end of the day. and it's a state where we can win a senate race with the governor running against nelson. that's one that we could pick up that we didn't count on early on. and if desantis can hold the governor's race, we're first in line for 2020. lou: governor rick scott has quietly built a lead in the last year and a half and it's impressive, against bill nelson, long-time senator from lorde obviously. desantis building his lead over adam putnam, the preference, if you will, the preferred c

any moment now we will take it on to florida. president trump is going to be on that stage in tampa for a make america great again rally to drum up support for the bass and drum up support for ron desantis. he wants to be the next governor in florida. all of this with an eye on the midterm election looming 98 days from now. good evening everybody, i'm bill hammer in tonight for my colleague martha maccallum. tonight is all part of the strategy to hit the trail at a backbreaking pace in the run-up for what will likely be a referendum on the presidency. as the president faces that test, robert mueller facing his own. trial of paul manafort started today. and it could weigh heavy on the future and the direction of that probe and america's confidence in whether or not the so-called collusion really exists. more on all that in a moment. but first, straight away to phil keating live at trump rally in tampa. is he there and what is tonight all about? >> good evening. tonight is all about those two things you mention. number one, traditi

to be a president that actually gets things done for the florida everglades. i asked him about doubling investment in the center everglades infrastructure, to clean and store and move water into south florida's natural floodplain and away from where people live along the coast. in 2000, congress authorized the comprehensive everglades restoration plan. we've got to continue to move forward on finally getting it done. there were too many delays. it took too long. hopefully now in the last couple of weers we've -- years we've begun to make headway on it. these infrastructure projects is not just about restoring the everglades. this is not just an environmental project. if it was just an environmental project, that alone would justify the work. it is not just an environmental project. it is about water quality, about water supply, it is about the value of property, it's about quality of life and it impacts millions of our residents and of our visitors, but we have to finish the projects. we have to stay focused. if we lose our eye -- if we take our eye off the ba

florida atlantic university up nine points. when the president feels strongly about the role he can play in these midterms and this twitter account and his endorsements, is he right, phillip? >> well, he's right about the power they can play in the primary. the republican primary. his endorsement carries a lot of weight in florida. that's why you see those poll numbers changing for desantis. but there's a real risk, a danger for trump's candidates in the general election because the president remains polarizing with the general election trat. if you look at a state like florida, there are a lot of swing voters who may be turned off by how closely aligned desantis is aligned with trump and it's why some establishment republicans in florida are a little concerned. they feel that putnam, who has a little more distance from the president, might be a stronger election candidate -- >> the other big race in florida is for senate. you've got the republican candidate, current governor rick scott. he is not hugging trump like this. he is

for my constituents in the florida keys and miami and millions that love in south florida and in south carolina, louisiana, this is a major issue. we want to continue to list in these wonderful parts of the world but if we're going to do so, we have to pay attention to this issue of rising sea levels, what it means for the future. at the same time if we can invest in american infrastructure, repeal taxes against lower and middle americans and deregulate the economy, because that's something else that this bill does, it impose as moratorium on epa regulation of co2 emissions, we think this represents a number of big wins for our country and can really bring republicans and democrats together to address these major challenges that we face. >> shepard: congressman, what do you say to other republicans that are climate science deniers? >> i'll tell them, for me this is not a philosophical or academic issue. i live in south florida. it's a low-lying area. we're seeing sea levels rise, ocean acidification. it's affecting our livelihood. it's hurting our why of live and our economy. we want a

primary race for governor in florida. about six weeks ago before the fox debates florida's agricultural commissioner had a 15-point lead on congressman ron to same thing. president trump endorsed desantis and putnam now finds himself with an 11-point deficit. the president set to rally in tampa tomorrow night. joining me now is ron desantis, republican candidate for florida government. good evening to you, how's it going? >> we are doing really well. i think that week where we did get the trump tweet, then we had our fox news debate and of course i started finally advertising was really i think the inflection point in the race. we've done really well since that point and obviously with the president coming down tomorrow he's going to fill out an arena that has i don't know how many thousands of people. that's going to be a big, big deal and i think that will further our momentum and lead us to victory. >> sandra: what does all of this say about the way president trump and the influence he is going to have as we mentioned,

it comes to us from florida. here's the quick fact scenario, and i'm not leaving out anything even if a quick summary that you need to know to have an opinion on this. there's an argument going on over a parking space. there's a man arguing with a woman in a car. her boyfriend is inside. their children are in the car with her. he hears the ruckus. he comes walking outside. he sees the man going at it with his girlfriend in the car. he walks up to the man. he pushes him, knocks the man onto the ground. the man looks up at the man standing over him, reaches into his pocket, wuls out a weapon, and puts one right in his chest. the man bleeds out in front of his partner and his 5-year-old kid. is that okay with you? it's okay with the state of florida. stand your ground is back in the national dialogue, and you may not know this, but it's been updated, and it arguably makes it even easier to kill without consequence. what i just told you, there will be no charges. is this okay? we've got two great legal minds to take
