but the dissent is warren education in florida no longer effects just florida. because his latest attack has had a very negative national impact. so, two weeks ago, ron desantis gave a speech rejecting the advanced placement ap college credit courses on black history for florida high schools. take a listen. >> this course on black history -- what's one of the lessons about? queer theory. now, who would say that an important part of black history is queer theory? that is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids. we want education, not indoctrination. >> not indoctrination. page 243 -- not really -- of the republican party playbook. accuse your opponent of the very thing you ourself are guilty of, or want to do. to be clear, desantis is fine with indoctrination. he just wants to be the one doing the indoctrinating. and yet, despite that, on wednesday, the college board announced major changes to its ap african-american studies chorus that include big cuts from its pilot course, along the lines that -- downgraded from the curriculum are topics that include black live

with florida law. there in lies the big question, will florida accept this as with the revisions and allow it to be taught in florida classrooms? >> thank you so much. >>> i want to turn to robert patterson, who you just heard from in the piece. he's a professor of african-american studies at georgetown university and served as the co-chair of the committee of professors and teachers who developed the a.p. african-american studies course. thank you for being here today, professor. i'm intrigued. i want to take a step back for a moment. it sounds like a lot of the talk points that we heard from abover desantis up to this point had been based on proposed aspects not a final curriculum. is that true? >> yes. that's an important point to make a distinction on. in fact, the document that the state of florida got was not officially given to them from my understanding, by the college board. it was a very early document that was a collection, if you could think of, of a wish list of what over 100 college profe

the economic outcomes from florida are way above average. the same outcomes for california are way below average. that is reflected in the way of the migration pattern. there was a large migration from california but there was a big jump in the pandemic. the outflow from california, similarly there was a big inflow into florida prior to the pandemic. during the pandemic there was a big jump in people moving to florida. a 60% jump. host: if you're more interested in the study, details, paragon institute.org. our first call comes from steve in pennsylvania on the independent line. you're on with the doctor. go ahead. caller: thanks for taking my call. thank you for c-span. ending the covid-19 pandemic truly irresponsible. at sometimes we have to do things we don't like because of the pressure we face from inside forces. host: dr., as far as the ending of these conversations, should there be a formal end to how we approach covid? guest: there should be a formal end to declarations and emergency measures. one of the bad side effects about the em

what does this mean for the residents of florida? >> for almost 60 years, disney has had an arrangement unlike anybody else in the united states, certainly anybody else in florida. they have actually had their own government as a corporation it's been something that's allowed them to be excepted from laws that everybody else has to follow in the state of florida. gave them huge tax breaks and actually allowed them to wrack up 700 million in municipal debt. and at the end of the day, when they have gone the direction they have, going against our parents' rights bill. talking about putting sexuality in programming, we were in a situation in florida where, okay, corporations can do that i think it's a mistake when they get involved in this stuff. but, disney was doing this and florida was basically de facto subsidizing their activism because of this special arrangement, so it's not good policy to have a corporation control its own government anyways but particularly under these circumstances and so we said the corporate kingdom is going

closing in rural florida. that's more than a third of all the rural hospitals in this state. and it matters. do you know what the furthest distance from the hospital from your home, if you have an accident, the higher the percentage is you'll die. because it takes so long to get there, to the nearest hospital. that's just a statistic. the only reason medicare expansion hasn't happened here is politics. it's time to get this done! it really is! and it will be done had you been ele elected. it's not like you're the poorest state in the union. look now, you may have seen, we had a little bit of a spirited debate at the state of the union. [ laughter ] i -- i -- well, i guess i shouldn't say anymore. but particularly with social security and medicare. republicans seem shocked when i took out the pamphlets they were using about cutting medicare and social security, read from senator scott's proposal. read from the proposal from the senator from wisconsin. they were offended, liar, liar! by the way, the last person

[cheers and applause] >> my man donald trump. >> nikki haley! governor desantis, but what about president desantis? >> i like it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> lawrence: you are looking at jacksonville, florida, where the sun is coming up already. one end of the slushy mess mess, ainsley. brian is having breakfast with friends. >> ainsley: is not too far away. [cheers and applause] at a diner called the metro diner. and he used to live there his wife right down the street, hey, brian. [chanting: usa] >> fil

florida and american history. as he wages culture wars against black history and black floridians. three teenagers have stepped into the breach. florida high school students victoria mcqueen, jewel yet heckman and elijah edwards are foized to sue desantis after the state education department rejected a new advanced placement course covering african-american studies. these three honors high school students would serve as the lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit. victoria, jujiet and elijah thank you for being here. victoria and juliet are based here. you're in a.p. classes. right? so talk to me, victoria, about the importance of taking a.p. classes and why you would want to take this a.p. african-american studies class. >> a.p.s opened my eyes to an array of new information. when i took honors in middle school and the friends i have in honors classes now, we go farther back in history. we go deeper into history. and if we had the option to take african-american history at the a.p. level, we also would get that deeper kno

to not florida. he's getting ahead of his skis, so what they pass the bill ahead of the last legislative session, and he passed the budget to move these migrants, nobody could have ever expected that he would have inserted himself in texas and moved them to martha's vineyard. he was not authorized to do that under florida law, so the bill that just passed yesterday now authorizes him to use his political fund for more stunts. >> to be clear, migrants are one of the targets of desantis administration. you also have the florida high schoolathletic association, considering requiring female student athletes to disclose their menstruation history. of course, there is a lot of pushback there. the association decided against it. why was it even being considered in the first place? >> i have to tell you, that was very disappointing to see such an invasion of privacy with our girls, but we have seen invasion of privacy with our women with a 15-week abortion ban that passed last year with no exception for rape

florida governor ron desantis with my radio show. you will see the whole interview in about an hour. finally putting an end to disney corporate kingdom invoking self-governing power. so bizarre they were able to have all this power. ordering the house of mouse to pay back 700 plus million dollars in taxes. florida radio host. one of the premier talents of this region. nationally syndicated joins us now. >> thanks for having me. you said come to the metro diner. three cameras and a satellite truck. amazing. >> brian: some of the typest people. all these people your listeners. is this a good move for desantis. >> there is no bad move for desantis. arguably the most popular governor this state and probably any state. the people in the state of florida are kind of fed up with wokeness as you pointed out. go woke, go broke. florida is where wokeness goes to die. disney was acting up. ron disantd said we can't be business partners if you are going to take all the money you make from the benefits we give from you working in the state and in

biden is in florida. what does that say about democrats' belief and their strategy for the state in the next two years. it's been turning redder and redder over the past six years or so. >> yeah, florida is not a battleground state. the democrats didn't contest it last fall. they didn't put money in nationally because they considered it to be a waste, and they ceded the ground to desantis who ended with a 19 point win. you're not going to suddenly switch in two years to democrats, that doesn't seem likely. what you have is president biden going down there as a useful way to get in rick scott's face, and to make a point that resonates with seniors all over the country. i don't think they think realistically florida is going to flip for them. they want to make the issue work for them. this is like the republicans talking about defunding the police by the way. the same kind of politics. president biden doesn't favor defunding police, because there are some democrats who favor t republicans like to go ahead a

i'll just talk about florida for just a second. when folks don't have medicaid, they come in and they're poor and they're rural folks, they the hospital can't charge them. there's nobody to charge. there's no money. they take care of them if they come through the door. but eight rural hospitals have already closed in florida since 2005. and seven others are at risk closing in rural florida. that's more than a third of all the rural hospitals in this state. and it matters. do you know what the reason the further distance a hospital is from your home, if you have a -- if you have an accident, the higher the percentage is you'll die, because it takes so long to die, because it takes so long to get there to the nearest hospital. that's that's just a statistic. the only reason medicare expansion hasn't happened here is is politics. it's time to get this done. [applause] and if you've done it, you've been elected. [applause] i really don't get it. i really don't get it. it's not like you're the poorest state in the union. look, now, you

this is from an event held in tampa florida. and i can't stand here and not tell you how much i admire charlie crist. charlie? [applause] i don't think you're finished. [laughter] look, there are so many things we could focus on today at this great university, from education to foreign policy and a whole range of other issues. but earlier this week, i reported on the state of the union. i said -- [applause] -- i said it's because of the people of this country, the resilience and the strength, the soul of the nation is strong and the backbone of this nation is strong and the people of america are strong. it's never been a good bet to try to count us out. never, ever, ever. we're often told that democrats and republicans can't work together. but as i told my republican friends on tuesday, if we could work together the last congress and we did, there's no reason we can't work together to get things done as well in this congress. [applause] and pat baskette, an old friend of mine, when i was up in the senate for 270 years [laughter]

way he runs florida. donald trump is not been silent. he called the governor theysanctimonious, lacking in class and loyalty, desantis has not responded, he doesn't need to. 's track record in florida speaks for itself. second hour of varney just getting started. byron york with us this tuesday morning. i think desantis is off to a good start. what say you? >> i agree with you. we shouldn't expect any formal announcement from him until may probably. when florida legislative session is over desantis is promising big things but when you look at how to run for president without officially running for president, i think he's off to a good start. he has a book coming out. that's a real telling sign. at the end of this month. i think is doing the things you do, one thing he hasn't done is go to iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. is not doing this quite so overtly but is spending more time on issues. stuart: it is the issues he's picking on which i think our winning issues and other candidates don't have that

florida is not one of them. white house officials are candid when they say they are not expecting it to swing dramatically back towards democrats given the way it has gone over the course of the last couple of cycles. but they know that this is a perfect place to lay out that message on social security and medicare and you have four evils. as one white house official pointed to me, we like foils, there are no better foils in politics than rhonda scent is and rick scott. again, when you talk to white house officials, they make clear that florida is not necessarily a political winner for them. but on the message and on the actual politicians, they believe it is. that is why he is going down there. when you talk to them about what happened last night, the back and forth with republicans, as one official put it to me, we did not plan for that. but republicans walked right into the trap. chaos and extremes -- i asked if that is how they view ron desantis and senator scott. they said, the most chaos, the most extreme.

come to florida. the meanest place on earth. so much so that even former brazilian president jair bolsonaro, whose supporters tried to overthrow the government down there, literally just a couple weeks ago is trying to extend his stay in desantis' camp, requesting a six-month tourist visa which would make bolsonaro the former second president who fomented an insurrection currently residing in the state. joining me is brandon wolf, survivor of the pulse nightclub shooting and press secretary of equality florida. fernand amandi, and mark whittaker, cbs sunday morning contributor and author of the forthcoming book, saying it loud, 1966, the year black power challenged the civil rights movement, which is probably already illegal in florida. and mark y do want to start with you, because you wrote a very interesting piece today. and i just want to read a little bit about it. you wrote, desantis is wrong about black studies. as i discovered writing a book about 1966, when the push for black studies began at san francisco state universi

florida was the epicenter. and the biggest ones in the business were the george brothers at american pain. >> the george brothers did not start the opioid crisis. but they sure as hell poured gasoline on the fire. they became the largest street-level distribution group operating in the entire united states. nobody put more pills on the streets than they did. nobody. they created a blueprint for how this is to be done. and they were operating in broad daylight. >> the scale of this enterprise, i mean, it was enormous. >> you had addicts streaming in from all over the country, thousands of miles just to come to florida to get drugs. >> when you see what's going on inside that clinic, your jaw just falls to the floor. >> i got your pills in the parking lot. chill out, man. >> i've been on the job as a special agent for over 20 years. and i've seen a lot of crazy. but this was just [bleep] crazy. >> you couldn't make up the stuff that happened in this investigation. strippers and white supremacists running medical

d sa how did you do it in florida?u o i mean, we've become the focus o point of freedom in the united states and even around the world. the and people look at florida.t said a you just had someone from spainn saying a politicia, n, she wants spain to be the florida of tal europe. and i think what wk e do is wepc talk about the different fights that we've had, our approachh to leadershileaderf thp. the but at the end of the day, tucker, you talk about all the time in your show. yes. show, yes, we have to fight over go got to fight overweening government, very important. imp and we have a veryorta vasttives administrative state that we battle with .tale wit bideh bin. but you also have corporate america going big tech censoring. ss so these are fights all acrossno the scene. and when youd stand up for what's right, they come after you. it isn't easy. so you got to have the courage of your convictions to stand strong. but i think what we've shownbu n florida, if you do that and and people see you're willing to fight for t

but he clearly wants to, look, going to florida is a gutsy move. florida is a red state. let's just be really honest. it has been red for the last -- i know, i know. >> it's moved. >> i've got the pollsters here. let's be honest, this is a basically a red state. he's going to florida to campaign, he's playing offense. that demonstrates a degree of vitality from an 80-year-old incumbent president. it demonstrates that -- we'll see thuhow it goes. >> in this context, desantis, he has his message. you talk about whether he's a foil, certainly would be a formidable candidate it seems. we haven't really seen a lot of him outside of florida yet. >> true he has made the whole issue of social policies and woke the center of his existence. today it was the florida house billings really giving desantis a chance to run disney. i'm shortchanging it. that's what he wants to do in florida. here's desantis today. >> disney is sgoing to pay its fair share of taxes and disney is going to honor the debt. this is obviously now going to be controlled by the state of florida, which is no long

florida. it is policy that could soon become, whether becomes national policy because ron desantis becomes president, or it simply gets more airtime because ron desantis is a candidate running for president, this is not going away. >> now, that's right. it's often said that cruelty is the point. this is a perfect example. i'm not sure, alicia, that thousands of migrant families, men, women, children, unarmed seeking greater economic opportunity and freedom in the united states of america constitute a threat. they certainly don't constitute a threat to florida. republicans have gotten away with storytelling that this is somehow a danger. it's not. it is an asset. to your point of why is florida taking this position of reaching into other states and flying migrants to another state, we would be welcoming them in florida. we would invest in the human resources and the safety net resources to provide these families an opportunity. cruelty is the point. to your point on what the florida legislator

board chosen personally by the florida governor. for more than half a century, the 25,000 acre independent special district has allowed walt disney world to self-govern its orlando area theme parks, maintaining roads, buildings, utilities, even its own fire department. the board is run by land owners with close ties to disney. >> we shouldn't let one company have their een set of rules compared to everybody else. >> reporter: but critics say the move directed at disney isn't about fairness, it's about exacting political retribution. >> i think that the governor has decided that anyone who goes against what he thinks is the right thing to do for florida, they call it woke. then they have to be dealt with. >> reporter: so you see this as retaliation? >> well, i do. in many respects, i do. >> reporter: retaliation after disney, the state's largest single-site employer, spoke out about how sexual identity are discussed in classrooms. >> what happened is by disney alienating the people of florida, they lost the political capital that pre

the state of florida is the new sheriff in town. our vision is yes, you have to ensure that all these laws are applied, you got to ensure that debt is paid, and you got to ensure the fair share of taxes are paid. reporter: the new law authorizes government to appoint five supervisors to oversee municipal services there. last year disney publicly clashed with desantis on a law that restricts classroom teaching on gender and sexual orientation. the new law is seen by many political analysts as retaliation. it plays into a wider culture war political strategy by some in the republican party. >> florida will never, ever surrender to the woke mob. >> this anti-woke message is effective because it is certainly easy for people to understand and develop an emotional connection to. disney is a big business and republican party is now positioning itself, or this fringe of the republican party is positioning itself contrary to goals the party has long held. reporter: disney has said it won't fight the reforms. fraser: let's bring in a fellow a

florida's policies have succeeded. so we need everyone around the country to support the people that wear the uniform, to support policies that keep communities safe, and to abandon this woke nonsense like releasing criminals or electing prosecutors that don't follow the law. >> lisa: governor, a lot of it comes down to the mentality. the cities you're going into, we have arrived at this point where they see criminals as the victims. how did we get here? >> to me, it's all putting ideology over public safety. you look at new york city, no city -- it was the safest big city probably in the world under rudy giuliani and under michael bloomberg. people loved it and now they found that all t away, and i hae described spy, officers' lives are more at risk, because they have to risk their lives to put somebody away, but the judge releases them so they end up having to arrest the same diet week or two later in risk their lives again. you've also seen places like chicago where these prosecutors are not going after the people.
