LEADERSHIP QUALITIES OF THESE
RESPECTIVE MEN AND POTENTIALLY
ABOUT 2024?
LET’S MEET TONIGHT’S PARTY
PANEL, STEVEN L. MILLER.
YES.
FOX NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST JUAN
WILLIAMS, HE CAN’T WAIT TO GET
INTO THIS AND BASE POLITICS
COFOUNDER, BRAD POLOMBO.
WINK BACK TO YOU, BRAD.
STEVEN, I WILL START WITH YOU.
FINISH THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE
COMING TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT
FLORIDA, BUT IS IT WRONG TO READ
THE TEA LEAVES AND TRY AND
FIGURE OUT THE POSTURING THEY
WERE DOING AND HOW IT HELPS THEM
IN 2024?
>> NOT -- I MEAN, NO.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO THAT
REGARDLESS, AND WE DON’T KNOW
WHAT THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR’S
PLANS ARE YET.
IT WASN’T A REAL BRIGHT IDEA ON
BEHALF OF THE ADVANCE TEAM TO
PUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES PODIUM FOR DeSANTIS TO
GET A PHOTOGRAPH BEHIND --
[LAUGHTER]
THAT WAS SOME GOOD OPTICS FOR
THEM WILL.
BUT, YEAH, IT’S TELLING THAT,
YOU KNOW, BIDEN GOT UP THERE AND
TOLL A STORY ABOUT A LIGHTNING
STRIKE HITTING HIS HOUSE, AND
THAT WAS JUST LIKE SOMEONE
LOSING A HOUSE IN A HURRICANE.
THEY’VE ALSO SAID ON SOCIAL
MEDIA WITH THAT DeSANTIS HAS
BOTCHED THIS THING, THEY’VE NOW
SETTLED ON THE FACT THAT HE WORE
WHITE SHRIMP FLOOD BOOTS BECAUSE
NONE OF THE ACCUSATIONS SUCK.
AND BIDEN TODAY SAID HE WAS
DOING THE A GREAT JOB, AND THAT
WAS THE END OF THAT.
KENNEDY: ALL RIGHT.
JUAN WILLIAMS, I DON’T THINK
THIS IS THE TIME THE TALK ABOUT
DROUGHT CAN WHEN PEOPLE’S HOMES
HAVE BEEN DESTROYEDED BY RAIN
AND HURRICANE PRECIPITATION.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU,
BUT I THINK YOU’RE REALLY WRONG
HERE.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS LIKE THAT
STORY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY
SEES CHILDREN DYING IN THE RIVER
AND THEY SAY WHAT’S GOING ON,
AND FINALLY SOMEBODY SAYS, WELL,
LET’S GO UPSTREAM AND SEE WHERE
THESE CHILDREN ARE COMING FROM.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
YOU CAN TALK ABOUT HURRICANES
AND DESTRUCTION IN FLORIDA, THE
SEVERITY OF THAT HURRICANE
BEYOND A DOUBT WITHOUT TALKING
ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE WATERS
ARE ARE WARMER DUE TO CLIMATE
CHANGE.
SO IT’S FUNNY, THE OLDER GUY
HERE, YOU KNOW, THE
CONSERVATIVES LOVE TO SAY IS
DODDERING AND LOSING -- HE’S THE
ONE WITH A VISION AND SAYING,
WAIT A SECOND, WE HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THIS IN A WAY THAT PREVENTS
THE NEXT HURRICANE IAN.
TO ME, THAT’S A POLITICAL
LEADER.
KENNEDY: NO, TO ME THAT’S A
POLITICAL STUNT ON AN ISSUE THAT
IS POLLING FAR BELOW THINGS LIKE
ECONOMY, CRIME, INFLATION,
IMMIGRATION.
AND, YEAH, THAT MIGHT ALL BE
WELL AND GOOD, BUT THERE IS
NOTHING TO SAY THAT THIS
HURRICANE WAS CAUSED DIRECTLY BY
CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT THE
HURRICANE DIRECTLY CAUSED DEATH
AND DESTRUCTION, AND THAT’S WHAT
HAS TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE’S IMMEDIATE NEEDS, NOT
SOME LONG-TERM, PHILOSOPHICAL
WHIM FOR PROGRESSIVES.
SO, BRAD --
>> HE WAS DOWN THERE, HE WAS
DOWN THERE GIVING THEM MONEY AND
GIVING THEM ATTENTION AND
WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR WHO,
AS YOU POINTED OUT, HE HAS
LITTLE IN COMMON WITH
POLITICALLY AND IS, YOU KNOW,
POTENTIALLY A POLITICAL RIVAL.
SO I THINK HE WAS PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE IMMEDIATE
NEED --
KENNEDY: WELL, YEAH, NO, YOU
JUST MADE MY POINT.
THAT’S ALL HE’S DOING IS TRYING
TO SCORE POLITICAL POINTS WITH
HIS PLATFORM --
>> OH, COME ON.
KENNEDY: -- INSTEAD OF DIRECTLY
TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH PEOPLE IN FLORIDA.
NOW, BRAD, ALREADY A LOT OF
PEOPLE ON THE LEFT WHO HAVE
TAKEN ISSUE WITH WHAT GOVERNOR
DeSANTIS SAID ABOUT LOOTERS.
IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE IN FLORIDA
WANT TO HEAR?
DO THEY WANT TO HEAR THAT KIND
OF TALK FROM THEIR GOVERNOR?
>> YEAH, THEY DO, AND THEY
SHOULD.
WHAT DeSANTIS SAID ABOUT
LOOTERS IS JUST BASED.
I DON’T KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD
GET OUTRAGED.
YOUR OUTRAGE SHOULD BE PEOPLE
WHO WOULD LOOT AFTER A NATURAL
DISASTER.
GO OUT AND TRY TO ROB THEM, GET
RICH QUICK QUICK.
THAT’S WHO DESERVES OUR OUTRAGE,
FRANKLY.
DeSANTIS IS RIGHT THAT THAT’S
PART OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
HE SAYS FLORIDA IS A SECOND
AMENDMENT STATE.
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT LOOTERS
DESERVE.
BECAUSE EVEN IN THE BEST OF
TIMES, YOU KNOW, WHEN SECONDS
COUNT, THE POLICE CAN BE MINUTES
AWAY.
IN THE AFTERMATH OF A DISASTER
ZONE, THE POLICE MIGHT NOT BE
ABLE TO GET TO YOU FOR HOURS,
AND IT’S JUST ANOTHER REMINDER
OF WHY I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE IN
A STATE THAT RESPECTS PEOPLE’S
RIGHT TO SECOND AMENDMENT AND
SELF-DEFENSE THAN ONE OF THESE
BLUE STATES LIKE NEW YORK THAT
DOES EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO
DISARM THEIR LAW-ABIDING
CITIZENS.
SO THE OUTRAGE OVER WHAT
DeSANTIS SAID IS MUCH ADO
ABOUT NOTHING BECAUSE, IF
ANYTHING, WHAT HE’S SAID IS
PRETTY BASE.
CAPE KEN YEAH.
AND WHAT HE SAID IS PEOPLE DO
HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND
THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY WHEN
FIRST RESPONDERS CANNOT GET TO
THEM.
BUT IF PEOPLE WHO MEAN THEM HARM
GET THERE FIRST THEN, YES,
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO EXERCISE
THAT RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, PANEL, PLEASE DON’T
GO ANYWHERE.
