but when you elect someone like ron desantis who does the bidding of corporations and billionaires, of course he is not going to pass anything to regulate and actually help working families. this is a huge failure of republican leadership in the state of florida, and that is what is happening when you elect someone like ron desantis. >> you represent a district and a state that is very exposed to climate risk, obviously. the national weather service put out this morning basically saying the atlantic is the hottest it has ever been, we are looking at possibly projecting a record number of main storms coming over the summer and into the fall hurricane season. i am curious how much that news, i know i followed this stuff, in a place like florida in your district, is that setting in a people? are people looking towards the summer? >> it is setting in. i have folks who are conservatives reach out to me and said you know what? before a few years ago i didn't really care much about the climate change issue. but now it is impacting my day today, or it is impacting my
and last week when they faced a lawsuit, they offered an apology and stopped distribution. it doesn't just matter for the health of our public discourse it matters for the health of our democracy. because it wasn't just 2,000 mules that was pushing the big lie. all of these outlets were. >> if you've been following the media over the past week you probably think the election is over. but that is actually not the case. >> the epic times is one of the first outlets to really go hard on the big lie. right after the 2020 i election, its home page became an election challenge tracker. following legal challenges and fake elector events state by state. as for alex jones, not only did he push the big lie but alex jones actually helped organize and fund the stop the steal rally where trump spoke on january 6th. the big lie may be the most influential conspiracy theory of our time. yes there is plenty of other
ahead. fast-forward to today, the golden state is now more broke than ever. how broke? $27 billion in debt. so how does one state lose more than $120 billion and a couple of years? well it is actually easier than you think. let's start with the homeless crisis. an audit from april revealed the california lost track of $24 billion that they had spent to end homelessness. >> what has the money been spent on? >> we are working on finalizing the annual report and hope to have that published in short order. >> weiser taking three years to get data? the system was in clement in 2021. >> it began in 2021, it was not fully implemented until 2022r. >> that is still two years ago. why is it taking so -- you're the one who said it's urgent. may be my sense of urgency is different from your sense of urgency. you can tell us at all, how many people we have helped r.
business. the water surrounding florida is the temperature of a hot tub. hot water fuels these storms and makes them last longer and create more destruction. in fact, two years ago we had hurricane irma. i was out knocking doors a few months ago in a community called or lavista in central florida. a lot of these folks are still living in sheds behind their house because the flooding was so much that it completely ruined their house. still, and the insurance companies are denying a lot of their claims. saying it wasn't the wind, it was the flooding. this is the issue we have in the state afforded. we need real leadership from our state government, because this hurricane season, and hopefully everybody is wrong, but they are saying it is going to be one of the worst we've had. >> congressman maxwell frost, thank you very much. still to come, the dangerous disconnect fostered by right-wing media. how far right lies are shaping american opinions on immigration, ahead. immigration
some sort of rewriting of history but i wonder what you make of the conservatives who have been lobbying on those. >> i don't nope if byron saying that out of ignorance or cynicism. what we know is his own marriage was not legal in the state he lives in until 1969. we know that as he's talking about black voters were mostly conservative, the very first civil rights martyr were voting civil rights activists. >> byron is from florida. >> he's from florida, right. and if you look at the black poverty rate during jim crow was more than 55%. when they say those things they're clearly not talking to black people. even though this was at a black
>> that money has disappeared and california has more homeless now than ever. $24 billion. according to the los angeles times, the states partially constructed high-speed rail line is projected to run $100 billion over budget. they spend half a billion dollars on a suicide net for the golden state bridge. and forget about all of the taxpayer-funded sex changes for illegals, those are probably starting to add up. so gavin's over budget and needs to get the state back on track. so what is a lib governor to do? hot from his $10 billion climate budget, that would be pretty but you can do that so he has to cut money from the cops. the state department of justice budget is getting a 2 percent haircut. $98 million cut from trial court operations, $10 million from the law enforcement division. $80 million from the department of corrections and rehabilitation. he will empty the prisons as
millions of people across the country are bracing for a rough weekend of severe weather as with new mexico and arizona this week will bleeding further east into texas. california death valley hitting a record-setting 1 22° yesterday with scorching heat taking over florida this weekend with the state seeing heavy tropical downpours with as in the sundae jet damaging wind hail and flash flooding expected in the meantime with the prime minister attacked with officials only saying a man hit her in a public square in copenhagen was unclear the prime minister was hurt. back to henry. >> ♪ ♪ devi 5 out the hunter biden gun
and grab a crime spree. instead, he is cutting almost 200 so that's off. the iranian all of this is that this crime spree is a direct cause of the budget deficit that california is experiencing because businesses and individuals are leaving the state. they want law & order, they want a safe environment. this is basic stuff. may be i should use really small words so the left can understand. you have to have a safe environment so businesses will be there, so individuals will be there. the more of those who have, you will have greater tax revenue for you to be able to fund those things. but gavin does not seem to understand that. in fact it is really accelerating this vicious cycle by cutting law enforcement, continuing the crime spree to see more businesses and individuals flee the state. >> you mentioned it could be 47 billion, it could be 27, give or take 10 or 20 billion. but in the minds of liberals, when it comes to something like
back because i could not make that money, because i was also running for congress. and this is an issue that so many americans face. the fact of the matter is during covid, during the trump policies, the marketplace and our power as consumers in the marketplace went down by a lot. so president biden is working at axing that wrong, but corporate greed is really what is driving us right now. >> one of the things we are seeing in your state particularly on high cost? i am just curious how much this is affecting folks in your district. insurance, homeowners insurance particularly in the state of florida. there is a bunch of different reasons for it, climate being part of it. what are you hearing from people in florida about that? do you hear folks talk about it? >> this is one of the top issues i talk about, actually just had a roundtable with folks. and a lot of people have a caricature of who this impact, but it impacts everyone under the sun. i had seniors citizens on a
fixed income saying i think i'm going to have to move out of my house. they have paid off their mortgage, so they don't have variable costs anymore. they have property taxes and the insurance, so if that keeps going up it is pricing people out. it is also working families and also young people who are trying to build wealth, they cannot even do it right now in the state of four. and the governor is not doing anything about it. in fact, he had a special session, and many people, including myself, believe that the building has actually made it worse. for him it is not about corporate greed or we should not be regulating the reinsurance market, for him he says we are in the problem because of people who abuse the system. less than 1% of people. >> it's very interesting, basically the insurance industry down there says it is not really climate, it is not storms, it is fraudsters who are abusing us. and they call that special session, i have seen other experts say that is not going to get it done. >> it's not. we need regulation, we need to look at the actual problem.
