trump carried florida twice. ron desantis is considered a contender for 2024, at the top or bottom of the ticket. and matt gaza and margie taylor green is there to rally the base and gaetz is making light of the investigation he's in the middle of. let's listen to that and get your comment on it. >> i'm a marked man in congress. i'm a canceled man in some corners of the internet. i may be a wanted man by the deep state. but i'm a florida man and it is good to be home. >> what is going on in florida, congressman crist. >> well, i'm running for governor of florida and that's the other thing that's going on in our state and i think it's important that we understand that governor desantis signed the other day, you referenced it earlier, a bill to really suppress the vote in the sunshine state, to really make it difficult to use mail-in ballots. that really attacks our seniors in the sunshine state. my dad's 88. my mother's 86. they love to vote by mail. this bill is going to only make it more difficult to do that in

joining us now is florida congressman charlie crist, he is a democrat but had been florida's attorney general and governor as republican he is currently running as a democrat to unseat ron desantis next year. congressman crist, welcome. >> great to be with you, my fellow floridian. >> it's weird as a floridian to be calling you congressman crist instead of governor crist. can you give me your take on this voting bill? because i don't get it. you know florida politics as well as i do if not better. florida is a very strong republican political state, not solidly, but republicans do very well in florida. so i don't understand tactically why you would even need a law to change the voting rules for any logical reason, especially if you are republican governor, like what sense does this make to you? >> none. i couldn't agree with you more, joshua. it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. they do have the house of representatives in tallahassee the state senate and obviously the governor's mansion at present. but you know, you have to look at what they're maybe concerned about. maybe they're c

and there were no problems in florida. florida was a model. florida did a great job with counting ballots, did a great job with ballot security. you know, in an election that went on for days and days, florida had a call, not the call i wanted, but they had a call pretty early on election night, frankly. and so all of this is a way to maybe on the margins clamp down the democratic vote. a vote -- voters of color, younger voters, maybe voters who are off at college that use mail-in ballots, while mostly putting on a pr stunt that helps to continue the mythology around the big lie. and that is, i think, the real problem here. is that you see that for republican politicians to stay in good standing with their voters, they need to go along with this myth that the election was somehow fraudulent and something needs to be done to make their voters feel better, when, you know, all of that is nonsense. all of that is putting feelings over their facts. it's not what how conservative guidance should go. ron mentioned 2000, the state of florida made chan

please do not georgia my florida. >> please do not georgia my florida. what did you think of that, al? >> well, look, the truth of the matter in all of this is that both sides are right in their arguments. one, florida's laws, even after this new legislation, are still better than some democrat states, which need to look out after themselves, like colorado, new york. at the same time, we had almost a perfect election last time. there weren't any irregularities. so why tinker with it is my point of view. in florida, you've got 66 constitutionally elected supervisors of elections who have -- you know, you like to get their input on the matter. i don't think they really needed a change or wanted a change, but, you know, my personal feelings, as much as can you facilitate people voting legally, the more of it, the better. so be it. we'll see what happens. clearly it's going to be challenged in court on constitutional grounds. although a challenge is going to have some tough time going at it since there are other states that have more restrictive laws. >> ana

florida governor ron desantis. south dakota governor and the governor of the great state of tennessee that is hosting all of us is governor bill lee. we areng joined by a?live audience. you are free to yell anything you want. >> [cheering]. >> [applauding]. >> sean: with all of that said, if i'm going to be blunt and forthright and honest with you, i want to get the hell out of new york. i w want to see which of you wil offer me the best deal. >> [laughing]. >> sean: oh. >> we talked about this. i have my dmv on stand by. you will get a?driver's license and we will register your vote quickly. you can pull the trigger. we have been talking about this for years. >> sean: i also like mount rushmore and country music. >> you are here. >> and i want to be at an iowa farmer. the only one who might lose out is arizona because the dry heat is awful. thank you all. governor, let's start with you. we have this mass migration from blue states with high taxes and regulation, draconian shutdowns and we have the republican gover

senator scott. >> ceo of florida attractions, represents 120 theme parks, and attractions in florida. he's had the of at the pledge to work with him when i was governor. he in a lot of others they bring a lot of visitors to our states. welcome bill and i look forward to hearing from you. >> thank you senator. good afternoon chairwoman rosen, and ranking member scott and the subcommittee. i want to thank you for your leadership in addressing this damage especially to the nation's hardest hit sector, travel and tourism. i'm honored to participate in this meeting, founded in 1949, the ford attractions association, or the other faa, has had a trade association representing tourist attraction industry. vocational and has evolved during the decades. and natural wonders, have attract people from around the world and they go from kitchen roadside attractions to the world's most popular theme park destinations. today the faa is comprised of 250 member businesses. the states largest attractions but most of our members large or small business, only 10% of our businesses are publicly traded compa

we are doing that in the state of florida. another thing we did which is very important, we band these third-party private groups from spending millions of dollars tor elections, like zuckerberg did. they call him zucker bucks, we have banned that in the state of florida. we are proud of what we did in 2020. we believe the strength of this package is such that we will also be strong in '22 and '24. >> sean: how come you're schools in florida -- i remember interviewing you early on when the pandemic struck. used every state agency, and you instructed them to protect the elderly, which you have a very high elderly population in florida. that turned out to be the wisest decision of any governor in the country. and there were a few others, to their credit, that did the same thing. we saw what happened when they didn't do that. you were able to get schools opened in august. you were able to keep restaurants open. why couldn't these other governors follow your lead? >> well, i think they embraced failed policies, sean, which last ma

in travel in florida compared to 2020. we need clear policy coronation between agencies like the cdc, osha, and timely guidance. recent changes in the cdc guidance will provide development to members. but the swiftness of the changes with many businesses scrambling to interpret the new guidance and assess the impact. even today, guidance from the cdc department of transportation and osha has gained in complexity. florida and much of the nation is experiencing a lumber shortage. that's key to the hospitality industry. many members are experiencing this in part because of the continued data of state unemployment benefits and federal unemployment relief programs. governor desantis has directed reinstating the work search requirement at the end of this. labor shortages are not new, by 2029, only 20% of -- have participated in the labor force. this is down from 1978 with the shortage driving up supplies and demands and businesses have adapted to compete for talent. even wages are --, offering a 100% increase from $10 to $20 per

joining us now is florida congressman charlie crist, he is a democrat but had been florida's attorney general and governor as republican he is currently running as a democrat to unseat ron desantis next year. congressman crist, welcome. >> great to be with you, my fellow floridian. >> it's a weird florida who covered you ascongressman. can you give me your take on this voting bill? because i don't get it. you know florida politics as well as i do if not better. florida is a very strong republican, political state, not solidly, but republicans do very well in florida. so i don't understand tactically why you would even need a law to change the voting rules for any logical reason, especially if you are republican governor, like what sense does this make to you? >> none. i couldn't agree with you more, joshua. it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. they do have the house of representatives in tallahassee the state senate and obviously the governor's mansion at present. but you know, you have to look at what they're maybe concerned about. maybe they're concerned that this is going to be a

and suppressing the vote in florida and doing what's wrong for florida. we need a florida for all. we need a hopeful, optimistic, uplifting leader, someone who's honest, transparent, tells the truth. what i'm trying to offer in this campaign. we need help. if people want to help, they can go to charliecrist.com. it's a tough race. running against an incumbent is never easy but he makes it easier every day by doing things that don't make sense, especially our seniors have the opportunity to vote and vote by mail. it's a florida tradition. they're trying to take it away. it's simply wrong. >> governor desantis has, as you know, kept florida open much more than other states. a lot of constituents have liked that. at the same time, just this week florida has led the nation for increased coronavirus cases, has had a big increase in deaths, still relatively small for the size of the state. how do you stack yourself up against someone whose response to the economy amid coronavirus if at odds with science at times has been popular in florida? >> i don't think it

in florida. the governor is about to sign it and he says he will sign it. but in their haste to get this done, republicans in florida apparently did not notice that some of the means of voting they're now putting all these restrictions on are the exact means voting that their most loyal republican voters use most frequently and that the means of voting that the republican party has been actively promoting to their own voters for decades. in a report remarkable new report from the washington post, they report that along the way, republicans considered trying to exclude the most republican-leaning groups, the elderly and military voters, from these new voting restrictions that they nevertheless want to apply it to everyone else. joining us now is washington post national political reporter miss gardner. miss gardner, thank you for taking the time tonight. >> glad to be here, thanks rachel. >> what is the extent of the regrets among florida republicans as they realize that these voting restrictions

florida is a global travel destination. as governor i tried to make it a number one travel destination in the entire world and my biggest competition, of course, was vegas. people from all over the world come to enjoy our beaches, attractions and all our state has to offer. as governor we worked hard to grow our tourism industry. by the way, you can win the best state parks every six years. there's only one state in the united states who has ever won it twice. there's only one state that's won it three times, and it's the great state of florida. it's unfortunate what's happening with the pandemic, because i think it has had the biggest impact on travel and tourism in any industry of the country and has hurt a lot of people that rely on -- they don't have a guaranteed salary. they're reliant on people showing up and tips and things like that. i've had the opportunity to work across the aisle on several bills. i help try to keep our families safe and be able to get us back to work as quickly as possible. last week, my biparti

i mean, you know, former president trump won florida. i don't think it is going to happen again, but what i think is important is you are right. i remember when jeb bush was governor when i was the attorney general of the state. at that time mail-in balloting, absentee voting was very popular among the republican leadership. it was very effective for everyone, and it is very effective now for democrats, too. we've kind of caught on to what was going on, and i think about 600,000 more democrats voted by mail-in ballot this past november, and i think it is really what is motivating this. i think governor desantis is trying to suppress the vote for the 2022 reelection that he seeks, but i don't think it is going to work. i think people understand when you are trying to, you know, put your finger on the scale and make an unfair -- i don't get angry very often, ali, but a couple of things frustrate me a lot. one of them is unfairness, and this is clearly unfair. the other thing that upsets me is arrogance. i think it is arrogant, it is unfair

he also iced out reporters from other outlets, local florida media. that's right, he signed a law that says someone needs to watch you drop off a ballot but would only let certain people watch him do it. an orlando sun sent nal columnist was told it was a fox exclusive. who could forget georgia's republican governor, brian kemp, putting his state on an express train back to the jim crow era by signing that state's voter suppression law flanked by six other white guys behind closed doors and under a painting of a plantation while a black lawmaker was arrested on the other side of the door. no subtly there. now, for their part fox news went the mariah carey i don't know her route saying that comfy couch crowd never requested or mandated that the event be an exclusive. at another event later, desantis was asked why his favorite network was the only one allowed in. >> why did you only allow fox news to capture the time you signed the controversial election bill? >> so we did a wonderful bill signing for this great elections bill, and it was live on nation

he wanted to have a casino in florida. in 2015 at the very beginning of the 2016 presidential election cycle, he and jeb bush, the former governor of florida, had a little tat on stage where he made it clear that he tried to get glam bling out of the state of florida when he was governor and jeb blocked it. if you fast forward, the best available evidence from what we know from our sources and people who talk to the president or the former president, and folks in the florida legislature, he was approached and said, hey, do you want a piece of that, and he was cool to that idea. one of the reasons is casinos are licenses to print money. the house always wins. but if you want to get that license, and they are limited in florida, you've got to pay money through the nose. and i don't want to get too much into the particulars and the weeds of the law that was just passed, but there's a school of thought that said that the seminole tribe around whom this gambling deal was negotiated would have been able to go into business with
