People said he didn t have much on the ground organization and i think the trump campaign remembers that and is trying to change it into a better job organizing on the ground but there s a question how many of these people who are there for the show will come out in these cold caucus nights, predicted to be below 0. paul: the social conservative electorate, desantis is trying to appeal to them of particularly abortion claiming trump is pro-choice. why haven t more voters peeled off trump on that message? part of it is they remember him, they remember his economy. some are not impressed by the alternatives. ron desantis talks about his record, how i got things done in florida, school choice, i m the guy who when the hurricane blows through i get the bridge
Done? well, i really think that a couple of times already i have brought red flag laws. but we re hearing from the governor that he would like to see a red flag law passed and i m in deep red knox county into east tennessee and i polled this in my district a year ago when i was running and overwhelmingly a majority of republicans and majority of independents and democrats favor common sense gun legislation like red flag laws and stave storage laws and those kind of things and i think we have the ability to get that done with the energy that we see in all of the folks that arm coulding forward and organizing and showing up by the thousands. the parents and the students and all of young people, just doing an amazing job organizing keeping the discussion going. and really lifting up the importance of getting something done. that potentially could save a lot of lives in our country. representative pearson, you have planned to ask president biden to declare a public health
Where we had 500 agents and police, surrounding an area. we thought we had a cop killer lockdown, and he slipped right through the cordon on foot in the middle of the night. other times, when they slip by. it s easy for them to get out, the area is so large, they novak, ali it s darkness, it s right when the police are responding, who trying to take care of the victims, trying to find out what s happening, it scales for the officers when they arrive, it s fog of war, when you get to these places. i was uniformed policemen, and go to shootings and stuff, we really don t know what s going on. you don t know who s who. you don t know people are running, people are screaming, people are pointing, the telling information. you try to relay that information to other officers, you re sergeant, lieutenant. it s very chaotic, we called the fog of war. it takes time to start things through, they ve done a good job organizing, steph, as you pointed out how they re evacuating the students.
Talking about earlier, some of the utility companies are making and in some of these areas the grid is not going to be repaired it may have to be completely rebuilt which of course will extend the time frame that will take, that s a serious threat. you re absolutely right, florida unfortunately because we ve been through so many storms has good systems in place, the governor has done a good job organizing that, the merge sit management, and fema s been very cooperative and will come in and back whatever the state needs. but there s a lot of work to be done, we don t even know the extent of it, you have to clear the roads and get the crews in there and save lives. lee county their 911 system is completely down being rerouted to col year they are getting calls that we can t respond to because it s not safe to get to and almost the entire county s out of power. we have multiple counties where there s no power whatsoever. so we don t know some of the harrowing things going on right now. but these crews are ready to go and we thank them, from all over the country ready to go, but it needs to be safe before we can
People are surprised they re not as heavily democratic as expected. this is a diverse group of people, large group of people. lots of african americans, hispanics, lots of whites that are eligible too. so i think if democrats are counting just on that, it is a big mistake. they have to work some key regions in florida hard and do a better job organizing than they did in 2018 when they even lost a long term incumbent senator, bill nelson. can i ask you to look at texas, whether that s realistically in play for the democrats and whether beto o rourke could carry texas. if beto o rourke is on the ticket, you have to include texas among states we would be watching hour by hour, not just day by day. alex, we have been around awhile. i can t remember how many cycles i have heard texas is going to be competitive. you ll be surprised.
