Channel: CNN
[9]
>>> IN O POLITICS LEAD,
[10]
FLORIDA
[12]
TALLAHASSEE FOA SPECIAL
[15]
SESSION AFTER REPUBLICAN
[17]
GOVERNOR DeSANTIS VETOED.
[20]
HE INSTEAD PROPOSE AD NEW ONE
[22]
THAT WOULD SHIFT POWER IN NORTH
[24]
AND CENTRAL FLORIDA.
[25]
CNN'S DIANE GALLAGHER IS IN
[28]
TALLAHASSEE.
[29]
A SPECIAL SESSION JUST STARTED.
[31]
WHAT ARE DEMOCRATS SAYING ABOUT
[34]
DeSANTIS' MAP?
[34]
>> Reporter: WELL, THEIR CALLING
[36]
IT RACIST, AUTHORITARIAN,
[39]
UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THAT'S JUST
[39]
WHAT I CAN SAY ON CAMERA HERE.
[42]
DEMOCRATS SAY THAT THIS PROPOSAL
[46]
FROM GOVERNOR RON DeSANTIS WOULD
[48]
NOT ONLY ADD MORE REPUBLICAN
[49]
SEATS BUT IT WOULD DIMINISH
[51]
BLACK REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS
[53]
FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
[54]
THERE ARE CURRENTLY FIVE BLACK
[55]
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM
[57]
FLORIDA.
[57]
FOUR OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS.
[58]
THIS MA'AM PROPOSAL WOULD
[60]
ELIMINATE TWO OF THOSE SEATS.
[67]
REPRESENTATIVE VAL DEMINGS'
[71]
SEATS.
[72]
THE REASON IS HE WANTED A RACE
[75]
NEUTRAL MAP THAT HE FELT ADHERED
[77]
TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
[79]
BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE THAT NOT ONLY
[81]
DO THEY FEEL THIS WOULD BE IN
[83]
VIOLATION OF THE VOTING RIGHTS
[84]
AGENT BUT ALSO IN VIOLATION OF
[86]
FLORIDA'S OWN STATE CONSTITUTION
[88]
WHICH MANDATES THE PROTECTION OF
[90]
THOSE MINORITY DISTRICTS.
[92]
JAKE, IT WILL LIKELY PASS OUT OF
[95]
THIS SPECIAL SESSION LATE THIS
[96]
WEEK.
[97]
AND THEN IT WILL LIKELY END UP
[98]
IN COURT.
[99]
>> AND DIEIAN, THERE IS ANOTHER
[101]
BIG STORY GOING ON IN
[105]
TALLAHASSEE.
[105]
GOVERNOR DeSANTIS IS CHANGING IT
[107]
TO INCLUDE A REVIEW OF WALT
[109]
DISNEY WORLD AND THE SPECIAL
[112]
STATUS THAT WALT DISNEYWORLD HAS
[114]
IN FLORIDA.
[115]
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
[117]
>> Reporter: THAT SPECIAL STATUS
[119]
A SPECIAL DISTRICT THAT
[121]
ESSENTIALLY ALLOWS THEM TO
[122]
OPERATE AS THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT
[124]
AROUND THE ORLANDO AREA THEME
[125]
PARK.
[126]
THIS ALL STEMS FROM THAT SO
[128]
CALLED DON'T SAY GAY BILL
[130]
EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT PREVENTS
[132]
TEACHERS IN SCHOOLS FROM TALKING
[136]
ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY AND SEXUAL
[140]
ORIENTATION.
[140]
DISNEY SPOKE OUT AFTERWARD.
[142]
AT THIS POINT, I SPOKE TO THE
[144]
BILL'S SPONSOR.
[145]
HE SAID THAT THIS WASN'T
[147]
NECESSARILY RETALIATION, BUT
[149]
THAT AFTER DISNEY DID THAT, AND
[151]
SAID THEY WOULD STOP DONATING IN
[152]
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, THAT THEY
[155]
STARTED LOOKING INTO THE
[158]
STATE'S, ONE OF THE LARGEST
[160]
ATTRACTIONS AND EMPLOYERS AND
[161]
THAT'S WHERE THIS CAME FROM.
[163]
>> I THINK HAD DISNEY NOT DONE
[165]
WHAT THEY HAD DONE, WE WOULDN'T
[167]
HAVE GONE AND TAKEN A LOOK AT
[168]
SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS AND
[170]
REALIZED WE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH
[172]
THESE PRE CONSTITUTION SPECIAL
[174]
DISTRICTS.
[174]
THAT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
[176]
WHEN YOU ADDICTION BEE'S NEST,
[179]
SOMETIMES THINGS COME OUT.
[180]
AND THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY HAPPEN
[184]
HERE.
[184]
>> Reporter: DEMOCRATS SAY THAT
[187]
THIS PARTICULAR BILL SEEMS TO BE
[189]
IN DIRECT ONLY SIGNIFICANCE OF
[190]
EXISTING STATUTES, JAKE, THAT
[193]
WOULD ALLOW THE RESIDENTS OF
[194]
THAT SPECIAL DISTRICT TO HAVE TO
[196]
VOTE TO GET RID OF IT.
[198]
BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT IT WILL
[199]
PASS OUT.
[201]
>> INTERESTING.
[202]
THANK YOU.
[203]
SO.
[204]
LET'S DISCUSS.
[204]
WE'LL START WITH YOU.
[206]
IS GOVERNOR DeSANTIS TAKING ON
[209]
DISNEY FOR THE RIGHT REASONS?
[211]
JUST BECAUSE THEY CRITICIZED THE
[212]
LEGISLATION?
[213]
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[214]
>> I THINK POLITICIANS' MOTIVES
[216]
ARE ALWAYS MIXED, OR USUALLY
[220]
MIXED.
[220]
THE FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS IS
[221]
THAT DISNEY'S SPECIAL STATUS,
[222]
ITS CO-MINGLING OF POWER, HAS
[225]
HAD THESE GAD FLY CRITICS,
[227]
MOSTLY ON THE LEFT.
[229]
NOW IT IS PAUBL GOVERNOR, PRETTY
[233]
STRAYED FORWARD, POLITICAL MOTEL
[234]
VEGASES, WHO HAS IT --
[236]
MOTIVATIONS, WHO HAS IT IN HIS
[239]
TARGETS.
[239]
>> SO MAYBE NOT THE WORST THING
[241]
IN THE WORLD.
[241]
>> I THINK THERE'S A STRONG CASE
[243]
THAT THE PRIVILEGES DON'T MAKE
[244]
SENSE.
[245]
THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING PEOPLE
[247]
HAVE JUST SECOND AS A FACT OF
[249]
LIFE IN FLORIDA POLITICS FOR
[250]
DECADES NOW.
[251]
NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, BECAUSE OF
[253]
THE WAY THE POLITICS OF DeSANTIS
[255]
AND DISNEY HAVE PLAYED OUT, IT
[257]
IS UP FOR GRABS AGAIN.
[258]
>> BUT THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT
[261]
WHERE THEY ARE GIVEN
[262]
GOVERNMENTAL POWER.
[263]
HOW IS THIS FOR IRONY?
[265]
AT THE VILLAGES, YOU'VE BEEN
[266]
THERE.
[267]
IT IS THE MOST GARGANTUAN
[274]
RETIREMENT COMMUNITY.
[275]
>> KEEP GOING.
[277]
>> THEY HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF
[279]
SPECIAL CORPORATE GOVERNMENTAL
[280]
POWER BUT THEY TEND TO BE VERY
[282]
CONSERVATIVE.
[282]
SO DeSANTIS ISN'T GOING AFTER
[285]
THEM.
[285]
SO IT IS A NOVEL THING, GOING
[287]
AFTER THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN
[289]
YOUR STATE.
[289]
IN MY HOME STATE, IT COST HIS
[293]
OWN STATE 477 MILLION OF
[296]
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.
[296]
IT IS A NEW REPUBLICAN STRATEGY
[298]
IS TO ATTACK THE ECONOMIC END
[301]
GINS OF THEIR STATES.
[303]
>> PEOPLE USED TO WANT
[305]
REPUBLICANS TO BE LESS
[308]
CORPORATE.
[312]
>> HEMENTS TALKED ABOUT TAKING
[314]
TWITTER TO TASK TO STOP ELON
[316]
MUSK FROM BUYING THE COMPANY.
[321]
IT IS THAT.
[322]
WHY FLORIDA WOULD HAVE ANYTHING
[323]
TO DO WITH THAT IS BEYOND ME.
[325]
BUT PERHAPS IT IS THE LARGER
[327]
GOAL FOR GOVERNOR DeSANTIS WHICH
[329]
COULD BE 2024, FURTHER DOWN THE
[331]
LINE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S
[333]
HITTING ALL THESE CULTURAL
[335]
TOUCHSTONE ISSUES.
[336]
IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF A LARGER
[338]
AND MORE NATIONAL, LET'S SAY,
[342]
MESSAGE.
[342]
>> DO I SEE LOTS OF CONSERVATIVE
[345]
ACTIVISTS REALLY LIKING WHAT
[346]
THEY SEE OUT OF GOVERNOR
[348]
DeSANTIS.
[348]
>> THEY WOULD LIKE IT.
[350]
I DON'T SEE DISNEY ELICITING A
[352]
WHOLE LOT OF SYMPATHY.
[353]
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOESN'T
[355]
MEAN YOU SHOULD.
[356]
AND IN GOVERNOR DeSANTIS' CASE,
[358]
NOT ONLY ON THIS ISSUE BUT THE
[361]
REDISTRICTING.
[361]
I REBEL LASTIER WHEN CONGRESSMAN
[363]
JAMES COMBER OF KENTUCKY, THEY
[366]
WERE TALKING ABOUT CHEWING UP
[369]
LOUISVILLE.
[369]
WHICH IS A VERY LIBERAL
[371]
DISTRICT.
[371]
AND HE SAID, DON'T GET CUTE.
[373]
BECAUSE THESE THINGS CAN END UP
[375]
IN RT.
[375]
COULD IT LOOKS LIKE GOVERNOR
[377]
DeSANTIS IS NOT ALL THAT WORRIED
[378]
ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS
[380]
ENDING UP IN COURT BUT IT COULD
[382]
HAVE OTHER IMPACTS.
[383]
COULD IT POSSIBLYIZE THE BLACK
[385]
ELECTORATE IN FLORIDA WHO FEEL
[386]
PUT OFF BY THIS AND FEEL AS
[388]
THOUGH THEY ARE GOING TO END UP
[390]
WITHOUT ACCURATE REFLECTIVE
[393]
REPRESENTATION.
[393]
>> RIGHT.
[397]
THERE ARE TWO BLACK DISTRICTS
[402]
THAT HE'S KEEPING.
[402]
HE'S GETTING RID OF TWO OTHER
[403]
AND THEN A REPUBLICAN AFRICAN
[404]
AMERICAN, TOO.
[404]
IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S GETTING ALL
[406]
OF THEM BUT HE IS TALKING ABOUT
[408]
GETTING RID OF TWO OF THEM.
[409]
>> AND HE FEELS AS IF IF THERE
[412]
ARE COURT CHALLENGES, THE
[414]
SUPREME COURT IN FLORIDA WILL
[416]
SUPPORT HIM IN THIS DECISION.
[417]
>> OR THE FEDERAL COURTS TOO.
[419]
HE'S MAKING A STAND THAT FEDERAL
[421]
LAW TRUMPS STATE LAW WHEN IT
[423]
COMES TO THESE STATE ISSUES.
[425]
>> BUT POLITICALLY, IT DOESN'T
[427]
COME WITHOUT ANY RISKS.
[428]
>> RIGHT.
[429]
THE BACK LASH.
[430]
IN TERMS OF REDISTRICTING, YOU
[431]
SEE IT ALL OVER THE MAP.
[434]
REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS.
[436]
PEOPLE GETTING SUPER AGGRESSIVE.
[437]
NOBODY EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT
[439]
ANYMORE.
[440]
AM I WRONG?
[441]
>> NO.
[441]
YOU'RE RIGHT.
[442]
A DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED STATE
[443]
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE
[445]
EXTRAORDINARILY BEEN OFFICIAL.
[446]
>> ILLINOIS GOT RID OF ADAM
[450]
KINSINGER'S SEAT.
[450]
>> AND VERY OFTEN THEY'LL DO
[452]
THAT BECAUSE HE'S RETIRING.
[454]
>> HE'S RETIRING BECAUSE TRUMP
[456]
HATES HIM.
[457]
>> THE BIG CONSTRAINT ON HOW
[459]
AGGRESSIVE THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN
[460]
ON DISTRICTING HAS BEEN
[462]
INCUMBENT
