MAJOR DEBATES ARE TAKING PLACE TONIGHT IN NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, AND MICHIGAN. TO BREAK IT DOWN AMERICAN HER TANK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JESSICA ANDERSON AND GOP STRATEGIST FORD O'CONNELL. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. TWO WEEKS. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING OR CLOSER TO HAPPENING. FORD, LET ME GO TO YOU FIRST AND READ SOMETHING FROM "THE NEW YORK TIMES." I DON'T USUALLY READ "THE NEW YORK TIMES" BUT THERE WAS AN INTERVIEW WITH NANCY PELOSI TODAY WHICH SHE SAID I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYBODY WOULD VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE, REFERRING TO REPUBLICANS.
ENDLESS LYING AN ENDLESS MONEY. THIS FROM A MULTIMILLIONAIRE WHO SAID A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE QUESTIONABLE RECENTLY, RIGHT? >> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT, DAVID. SPEAKER PELOSI IS DELL USINGAL. SHE HAS BEEN LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. VOTERS ARE PANICKED ABOUT BIDEN'S ABYSMAL ECONOMY. THEY KNOW WINTER IS COMING. SPRINKLE IN DEMOCRAT ABSURD POSITIONS ON CRIME, BORDER SECURITY, WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS, I TELL YOU DAVID, THE HOUSE HAS ALREADY UPON TO REPUBLICANS, THE ONLY QUESTION HOW CLOSE TO 240 SEATS DO THEY COME. DAVID: SOME DEMOCRATS LIKE CHARLIE CRIST IN FLORIDA ADMITTING THERE IS INFLATION PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES. EXTRAORDINARILY THEY'RE ADMITTING WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHO HE BLAMES FOR IT. LET ME ROLL TAPE, GET YOUR REACTION. THAT IS SOT 2. >> AFFORDABILITY IS IN A CRISIS IN FLORIDA.
HOUSING IS UNAFFORDABLE IN THE SUNSHINE STATE. GOOD LUCK RENTING AN APARTMENT. THE PRICE OF GAS IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE AND UTILITY RATES HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ROOF BECAUSE DESANTIS ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN THEIR EYE OFF THE BALL. DAVID: SO IT'S RON DESANTIS, WHO KNEW, JESSICA? >> OH, MY GOODNESS, CHARLIE CRIST IS THROWING ANYTHING AGAINST THE WALL TO HAVE SOMETHING TO STICK, SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT, BUT THE TRUTH IS FLORIDA VOTERS KNOW BETTER. THEY KNOW GOVERNOR DESANTIS IS THE ONE THAT KEPT THE STATE OPEN, THAT KEPT WORKERS WORKING, ALLOWED JOBS TO COME BACK AFTER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION INTENTIONALLY TANKED THE ECONOMY. SO CHARLIE CRIST IS HONESTLY HE IS GRASPING AT STRAWS HERE. VOTERS ARE GOING TO BRING IN A BIG WAVE FOR GOVERNOR DESANTIS, REALLY REWARD HIM FOR EVERYTHING HE DID TO KEEP THE FLORIDA ECONOMY OPEN AND BY THE WAY ATTRACT SO MANY BRAND NEW FLORIDA RESIDENTS THAT WILL BE FIRST-TIME VOTERS NOVEMBER 8th, HOPEFULLY FOR GOVERNOR DESANTIS.
DAVID: 300,000 PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO FLORIDA EVERY YEAR. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY, ACTUALLY EVEN WITH HIS PREDECESSOR. IT IS EXTRAORDINARY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE STATE CAN HOLD MANY MORE. FORD, THERE IS A SENSE OF DESPERATION AMONG A LOT OF DEMOCRATS. I THINK WHAT LED CRIST TO ADMIT WITH INFLATION, BLAME IT ON RON DESANTIS, EVEN INFLATION OUT ON THE WEST COAST THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY. THERE WAS VIOLENCE AGAINST A CANVASSER FOR SENATOR RUBIO IN FLORIDA. I HATE TO SUGGEST THIS IS SPREADING BUT IT NEEDS, WE NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT STUFF. >> DAVID, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AS A FLORIDIAN I WILL SAY THIS, GOVERNOR DESANTIS IS AMERICA'S GOVERNOR. WHAT HE SHOWED CHARLIE CRIST BEST ILLUSTRATES THE NUTSHELL PROBLEM DEMOCRATS HAVE. THEY'RE FOCUSED ON LATE-TERM ABORTIONS, TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR MINORS WHEN YOU HAVE INFLATION AT 40-YEAR HIGH, WHEN YOU HAVE CRIME. WHAT THEY DO BESIDES MESSAGING DIVISION AND HATE, THEY GO OUT AND PREACH VIOLENCE AND THEN BLAME IT ON REPUBLICANS.
IF YOU LOOK BACK OVER THE YEARS, LOOK BACK TO THE SUMMER OF LOVE, ALWAYS DEMOCRATS TURNING THE CHEEK THE OTHER WAY WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICAL VIOLENCE. DAVID: BUT JESSICA, I HOPE IN THIS INSTANCE THAT SOME OF THAT VIOLENCE IS BEHIND US. WE DID SEE THAT AWFUL CASE OF THE ASSASSIN HAUNTING ONE OF THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THE VIOLENT RHETORIC FROM DEMOCRATS LIKE SCHUMER HAD AT LEAST PART TO DO WITH THAT. I SEE SOME OF THAT DIALED BACK BY DEMOCRATS, AM I WRONG? >> WELL, I DON'T THINK DEMOCRATS ARE DIALING BACK OR DOING ANYTHING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BEING VIOLENT ON THE STREETS. I MEAN THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A CANVASSER THAT IS SIMPLY GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT VOTERS CARE ABOUT, BEING ATTACKED IN HIS MARCO RUBIO SHIRT, IN HIS RON DESANTIS HAT, WHETHER THERE WAS POLITICAL HATRED THERE OR NOT, DOESN'T DISCOUNT THE GRUESOME IMAGES. THIS SORT OF VIOLENCE IS EXACTLY WHAT DEMOCRATS LED TO SPREAD, ALLOWED TO SPREAD WITH THE SOFT-ON-CRIME POLICIES, WITH THE DEFUND THE POLICE MOVEMENT.
