After being reminded by his wife's subtle movements, and understanding that Tommy had agreed to their request, Bill walked over with Rosario and her former mayor and ex-husband, who had been covering the sky in Miami in the seventies.

"Tommy, this is David and Lorna, Tommy Hawke, Otilia's husband, founder of the Vox television network, a Californian." Bill held his glass and introduced the two sides.

David Kennedy, fifty-five, gold-rimmed glasses, talkative, likes to laugh heartily when chatting, and seems to be relatable, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but went to law school in Miami and stayed in the city after that, his own reason is that he likes the city, but Tommy speculates that it may also be for the Kennedy family, whose hometown is also in Massachusetts, although this guy did not say that he has anything to do with the Kennedy family.

He served as the 31st and 33rd mayor of Miami, and the time in between was when he was arrested, and he was suspended for about five months when the bribery charges were filed, but although the police had the evidence, because he did not confess which senator asked him to help his son get rid of the crime, and he did not disclose which justice he would bribe to, the Florida court judge finally announced that he dismissed his charges and reinstated his Miami mayor.

However, after the expiration of the mayor's term, the scandal has been deliberately spread by his opponents to the national reputation, he chose to give up the re-election campaign and resume his status as a lawyer, but he does not help people in any lawsuits, on the contrary, many unelected government positions in Florida and Miami, as long as he is offered enough price, he can make the other party want to do it.

Success stories include getting a guy who didn't go to college and had no prior experience in firefighting to become the head of the Miami City Fire Department.

His second wife, Rosario, completed the transition from a real estate agent, to a member of the Florida Hospital Cost Control Oversight Committee, president of the Florida Women's Chamber of Commerce, president of the United Crime Foundation, a member of the Miami City Council, and a deputy mayor of Miami.

It also includes a Cuban-American man who took his young and beautiful sister to him as his third wife, thus going from Miami City Commissioner to Mayor Miami.

However, David himself believes that his peak was when he was the mayor of Miami and helped Nixon's campaign, and Nixon even promised to appoint him as the US ambassador to Latin American countries after being elected, but unfortunately it happened that the bribery scandal broke out at that time, which deprived him of the opportunity to go further in politics.

Listening to the names of former President Nixon, former Florida Governor Bob Graham, etc., from time to time in David Kennedy's mouth, Tommy finally understood why this unsurprising guy is worthy of both Bill and Hillary to come over, it turns out that this guy who has no position is actually one of the real powerful people in Miami, although he has no status as a politician, but in Miami, there is still a powerful energy to call for wind and rain.

For example, the former governor of Florida and current U.S. Senator Bob Graham mentioned by this guy at this time.

In other words, if Bill is really elected president, his most desired vice presidential partner is this person, who has served as governor of Florida for eight years, and has achieved a real balance in all aspects, both Republicans and Democrats have praised him, and polls show that his support rate in Florida reached an astonishing 87% when he left office.

And his successor, the current governor who is bent on making political achievements, Republican Martinez, Tommy saw in the newspapers that the approval rating is the same astonishing 24%, not only the Democrats attacked him, the people called for his resignation every now and then, and even the Republican Party saw him unhappy, which is all due to David Kennedy behind the scenes.

Because the new governor actually wants to launch a change in Florida, he wants to crack down on drug crimes, he wants to crack down on law and order crimes, and he even launched a campaign to empty the prison death row, trying to really carry out those death row prisoners who should have been executed a long time ago, but have always been detained.

Maybe he really wants Florida, but these guys in Florida politics feel that Florida doesn't need his goodwill, so his approval rating will be so miserable that he will never win re-election, and the next governor will be replaced by an excellent politician who is recognized by both parties and can strike a balance in all aspects.

Rosario's previous bizarre death row prisoner vacation trial bill was pushed out to fight against this guy's campaign to empty the prison death row prisoners, although it caused the tragedy of the Parker couple killed, but because the media did not report it at the time, Rosario's bill was supported by a lot of people, thinking that her bill was very humane.

Listening to David as if telling a joke, talking about these Florida anecdotes, Tommy just wanted to sigh that with such politicians and people with cerebral palsy, Florida really lives up to its name.

His ex-wife, Rosario, nicknamed Rhona, was ten years younger than him and was a charming Cuban girl, and Tommy even suspected that the middle-aged Cuban woman might have had a leg with Bill, because the Cuban woman had been close to Bill's ear several times while he was chatting with David, talking in a whispered voice with some intimacy.

But David shouldn't mind, because he now has a third wife, Mia Suarez, who is still a Cuban woman, just thirty-two years old this year, a ballet dancer by profession, and has an older brother named Xavier Suarez, the current mayor of Miami.

The city of Miami belongs to him David Kennedy, even if he can't continue to come to the front of the stage as mayor because of the scandal, he can rely on his power to push his ex-wife to the position of deputy mayor, and the brother of his current wife to the position of mayor, in the name of democracy.

If it weren't for the fact that Tommy, who is behind Jeff LaVine, has a number of national and even global TV networks in his hands, and is replaced by an ordinary local financier, he would not be interested in owing Bill and Diane, a couple with a huge appetite, a favor, and he can solve a little flea like Jeff LaVine in Miami.

Tommy can also understand the other party's honesty to himself, he is the owner of the money, the other party is a politician, everyone is not a competitive relationship, but a cooperative relationship, David already knows his strength through Bill, so he has to tell Tommy his own ability as much as possible at this time, proving that Tommy and him become friends, at least in Florida, this piece of land, must be worth the money.

But in fact, Tommy said to this guy that he is not interested in showing off his huge energy in Florida at all, and he is not a businessman in those traditional industries, and he needs to have friends like David Kennedy in every big city in the United States to help solve the headaches of cheap land, cheap labor, tax breaks, workers' strikes, etc., except for Keybank in New York, Vox in Washington, and BT in Los Angeles, and his investments in the computer industry are all in Silicon Valley. That's Stanford University's turf, and if you really have problems that need to be solved, you can also directly ask Stanford professors who work in those companies or collaborate on certain projects to come forward, and some larger industry-related policy issues need to face Congress directly, and this kind of regional landlord snake has little effect, and it is more cost-effective to give money to the lobbying firm on K Street in Washington.

"The old couple has Republican lawyers by their side at the moment." Tommy was already drowsy when he heard it, and the other party was still chatting in the way of dealing with gentlemen, which made Tommy too lazy to listen anymore, and directly and forcefully introduced the topic: "Jeff's campaign manager thinks that although Rhona can inherit Jeff's seat, it doesn't mean that he can take a vacation for himself next." ”

"Of course, against Ilyana-Leti in advance." David Kennedy nodded: "I talked to Lorna about the experience Tom talked about this, and the other party attacked Lorna with the Parker couple murder case, and counted it on the head of the current governor, she was to promote the emptying of the death row activities, for the bloody massacre, and to tie Martinez, that stupid governor to her, the approval rating will definitely drop." ”

"I suppose it would be better for Mr. Governor to pass several death warrants, and how many execution warrants did he sign?"

"This year alone, there are ninety-seven."

"Then let the Florida State Assembly pass a dozen copies? It is best to have Cubans and blacks and whites among the prisoners who are executed, and then when the media criticizes, they will also remember to mention the name of Iliana Leti when they scold Mr. Governor. ”

"I think so too, I can get the state legislature to pass some death warrants as soon as possible, and if Tommy your BT and Vox can pay special attention, we can even get President Bush to go through the process before he comes to the stage to help that woman, and the headline is, the president drove to Florida, and the Republicans staged a massacre of Cubans and blacks to welcome him."

Tommy looked at David Kennedy dissatisfied, the old guy really thought he was a young and ignorant redneck, Bush came to Florida to help Eliana Letty stand on the platform, and his own TV network attacked him with such a hot headline, Tommy believes that Bush may not continue to pay attention to the victory or defeat of this kind of regional election in the future, but he will definitely be engrossed in thinking about how to clean up his own person who has damaged his reputation, the most important thing is to get it out in such a hurry, the situation will return to the previous state, and Jeff basically has no chance of winning in the future, And Iliana Letty was also beaten to death by Jeff, and the biggest winner is still the bastard's ex-wife.

Do you really think that Bill told him that he agreed to let Jeff give up his seat at the end because of his energy and the pressure of Bill and his wife, so he still thinks that he can help him attack his opponent with all his might?

"David, I said, Jeff must win, and your ex-wife can only wait for me to give her food, this is the only condition for cooperation, otherwise, we will continue to play with our respective dolls, the game continues, I don't care." Tommy accentuated his tone and spoke to the other party:

"As the Bible said, I will give thee the fruit of the fruit of the earth, and the fruit of the tree with pits, and thou shalt feed it, and if thou shalt harm the life of a man, I will take it."

David was slightly stunned at first, but then smiled: "It sounds like I, Noah, made a covenant with God." ”

"Isn't it? God gave life to Noah and all things, and I gave political life to your ex-wife. Tommy didn't deny it, and said in a rebellious interface: "The gameplay, I have the final say." ”

"Don't be nervous, Tommy, of course I'm fine." David took a deep look at Tommy, and then glanced at Hillary, who was always focused on chatting with Otilia in the distance, and was not approaching at all, and then smiled without half anger, and said to Tommy: "No problem." ”

Bill of the chicken thief had actually been observing the two of them from the side, even if there was a slight smell of gunpowder at the end of the conversation between the two, he didn't stop it, but waited until David took a step back, and then stepped forward with a little regret in his heart and easily changed the topic.

He was actually expecting Tommy to provoke David and David to help Tommy teach a lesson in Miami, because then the old guy would owe him another favor.

It's a pity that this old bastard saw through his and Diane's careful thinking again, he was indeed a little angry because of Tommy's reaction, but when he found out that he and Diane didn't step forward at the first time, he was keenly aware that it was likely that Tommy's words behind him were a trap set by their husband and wife and Tommy, causing themselves to go crazy and make the situation worse, and then needless to say, they owe the couple a big favor.

Thinking of this, Bill blamed Tommy a little, this guy was too mature, and the previous chat conversation didn't look like an energetic young man, so a slight change of mood could easily alert the old foxes, unlike Stephen and their husband and wife who sang duets together before, and every time they were deceived by politicians who were angered by the angry Stephen, they owed a favor.

Seeing that David Kennedy wasn't mad, Tommy quietly gave Bill a helpless look, then walked over to Otilia and invited his girlfriend to the dance floor.

When Tommy left, Hillary and Stephen came over chatting, and David looked at the couple and said with some dissatisfaction: "Even if it's a little trick of the guys, this young man's performance is too arrogant, I forget the last time I saw such an arrogant redneck." ”

"Of course it's me, I'm also a countryman, have you forgotten?" Bill laughed and said, "But you'd better put away your arrogance, David, Tommy is stronger than you see." ”

"Really?" David smiled.

Stephen, who had not spoken next to him, put his arms around Gina at this time, and said lightly: "Yes, if you want to try to find him trouble, I will tell you the content of the first level, that is, Bill, Diane and many powerful people in the military Democratic Party will talk to you as soon as possible, and you will make them lose tens of millions or more of money in compensation." ”

"That's an exaggeration, Stephen, he's not you." David laughed when he heard Stephen's words, he was quite familiar with Stephen, after all, since Stephen's grandfather, he was a big donor of the Democratic Party, and his father was the assistant secretary of health in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and almost every Democrat who served in Congress received donations from the Pen family, including his David Kennedy bigwig, former Florida governor and current senator Bob Graham.

So even if Stephen is young and vigorous, he takes it for granted, after all, whoever has so many senators standing behind him, and the House of Representatives acting as thugs, is qualified to be arrogant.

Stephen drank his wine, then walked towards the dance floor with Gina in his arms: "Of course he's not me, Mr. Kennedy, the second level is me, the second level is about me to stop all Democratic donations this year, and then you need to go to the Democratic National Committee and explain in detail to the Democratic congressmen who haven't received donations why Stephen Pen stopped making big donations to the Democratic Party, of course, provided that the first level is over and you haven't committed suicide or died unexpectedly." ”

David Kennedy's face changed, and Stephen looked back at him and laughed, "Just a joke, I learned from Tommy, that guy often scares people like this." ”

With that, he slipped onto the dance floor with Gina in his arms.

Hillary smiled and repeated, "Just a joke, David, don't take it personally." ”

"What more can I say? Of course, the external liaison secretary was sent over to let Rhona's team listen to the other party's instructions. David Kennedy sighed and spread his hands: "No wonder that guy asked the outreach secretary to join his team when he didn't talk about anything, now I understand, he is because you husband and wife are lobbyists, arrogantly rewarding Rona with a mouthful of leftover food." ”
