In this part 3 of California Politics Now: A review of "The Great Red vs. Blue State Debate," news show host, Julia Ann Dudley Najieb reviews the two counties in Florida who banned Toni Morrison books in school districts, according to Governor Gavin Newsom's claim of African-American authored-books banned out of Florida schools due to Governor Ron DeSantis imposing laws.

The facts of the matter may keep a person puzzled according to the data Dudley Najieb presents in this excerpt.

In the part 2 segment of California Politics Now, A review of 'The Great Red vs. Blue State Debate,' according to CalMatters, California and Florida have the nation’s highest and third-highest unhoused populations. But with more than 171,000 unhoused people in California in 2022, the Golden State has a much higher rate: about 44 out of every 10,000 residents are without a home. That’s more than three and a half times the rate of residents experiencing homelessness in Florida, according to federal data.

In Florida, more than half of unhoused residents are living in some kind of shelter, while two-thirds of unhoused Californians live outside. Homelessness in Florida has actually declined by more than 50% since peaking in 2010.

Through the first two years of the pandemic, the homeless count in Florida fell from more than 27,000 in 2020 to just under 26,000 in 2022, while in California it has grown steadily to a record high.

Listen now to find out which state turns out to be the worst for most Black Americans to live.

According to CalMatters, DeSantis accepted Newsom’s debate challenge in August, pitting him against someone who is not even in the presidential race. But lacking opportunities to face off directly against Trump, who has refused to participate in the GOP primary debates, DeSantis aimed to show Republican voters that he is best-equipped to take on Democratic President Joe Biden in the general election.

Also in this segment, Dudley Najieb reviews the alarming data regarding the living conditions for residents in each state, especially for Black and minority communities.
