00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:04:52.000 You're not taking Matt Gaetz off the board, okay?

00:04:55.000 Because Matt Gaetz is an American patriot and Matt Gaetz is an American hero.

00:05:00.000 We will not continue to allow the Uniparty to run this town without a fight. 1.00

00:05:05.000 I want to thank you, Matt Gaetz, for holding the line.

00:05:09.000 Matt Gaetz is a courageous man.

00:05:12.000 If we had hundreds of Matt Gaetz in D.C., the country turns around.

00:05:16.000 It's that simple.

00:05:17.000 He's so tough, he's so strong, he's smart, and he loves this country.

00:05:21.000 Matt Gaetz.

00:05:23.000 It is the honor of my life to fight alongside each and every one of you.

00:05:28.000 We will save America.

00:05:30.000 It's choose your fighter time.

00:05:32.000 I'm sending the firebrands. 1.00

00:05:34.000 I want to remind the public that Donald Trump and House Republicans also have their own ideas for the Board of So let's review the majority's border ideas that they've actually presented.

00:05:52.000 Here they are.

00:05:53.000 Donald Trump actually has said that he wants to build alligator moats along the border.

00:05:58.000 That's one of his incredible ideas.

00:06:00.000 Another idea that Donald Trump has promoted is he actually wants to electrify the border fence and maybe even put some spikes on the border.

00:06:08.000 That's another Donald Trump and MAGA majority border idea.

00:06:12.000 Another idea, which I'm not sure how well it would go, is he wants to actually bomb northern Mexico with missiles.

00:06:19.000 That's another Trump idea. 0.99

00:06:21.000 And finally, I think one of the ones that I think is the most grotesque is suggestions that instead we should maybe just shoot migrants in the legs as they cross the border. 0.97

00:06:32.000 So once again, the Donald Trump and MAGA plan is alligator moats bombing northern Mexico, shooting migrants in the legs, and electrifying the fence and putting spikes on them. 0.97

00:06:43.000 That is the Donald Trump border plan. 0.93

00:06:48.000 Welcome back to Firebrand.

00:06:49.000 We are live.

00:06:50.000 That is triggered.

00:06:51.000 California Congressman Robert Garcia laying out what he perceives as the MAGA plan to secure a border that's wide open.

00:06:58.000 electrified fences, alligators, ensuring that we bomb the places where they are producing the fentanyl that's killing over 100,000 Americans, and maybe even a little hot lead for the traffickers themselves that, in fact, harm the migrants and harm our country and destabilize what ought harm the migrants and harm our country and destabilize what ought to be a place of prosperity along the U.S.-Mexico border, but instead is full of bandits and hoodlums and So, I was already supportive of that agenda.

00:07:27.000 I I didn't even need Robert Garcia to lay it out for me, but he did in Technicolor.

00:07:31.000 And the bottom line is you cannot continue to allow 300,000 people every month to come across illegally.

00:07:36.000 We have seen a huge increase in those on the terror watch list that are apprehended and released, and 6 million of the 8 million that we've paroled into the country.

00:07:45.000 Well, we don't know who they are and where they are.

00:07:47.000 So the impeachment of Mayorkas is coming.

00:07:50.000 I'm going to be voting for that impeachment, supporting that impeachment.

00:07:53.000 You've seen some of the debate in the House Homeland Security Committee.

00:07:56.000 But impeachment is necessary but not sufficient as a posture for House Republicans.

00:08:03.000 We have to be demanding that the border be closed in order to continue extending funding for the government agencies that have long been turned against the people during the Biden administration.

00:08:13.000 So it's got to be shut down the border.

00:08:15.000 Or shut down the government.

00:08:17.000 And where Speaker Mike Johnson is right on this is that we don't need some new law to shut down the border.

00:08:23.000 Trump did it.

00:08:24.000 It's the Public Health Title 42 authorities remain in Mexico and save third country.

00:08:29.000 You do those things, then you detain or remove the people who come here illegally. 1.00

00:08:33.000 You have the border secure.

00:08:35.000 So don't buy this nonsense that that dumb Senate amnesty bill sponsored by Senator Lankford is what is necessary. 0.83

00:08:42.000 It indeed is not. 0.89

00:08:44.000 I want to get now to our top story of the day.

00:08:47.000 Even more cheating, even more trouble going on in Fulton County.

00:08:51.000 You'll remember Fulton County is where the DA, the Soros-backed DA, Fannie Willis, brought an action for RICO.

00:08:59.000 RICO is the stuff that Rudy Giuliani used to go get the mob in New York, but instead now it's being used against Rudy Giuliani.

00:09:07.000 Fannie Willis has a long history of misusing the statute. 1.00

00:09:10.000 She used it against teachers when that was widely panned as an overcharging of that particular crime and set of facts. 0.67

00:09:19.000 But Fannie Willis herself Maybe in a little trouble. 0.99

00:09:22.000 We've covered extensively how she jacked up billing opportunities for her married boyfriend, Nathan Wade.

00:09:31.000 And Nathan Wade charged like $650,000 to this matter, whereas the other more qualified outside attorneys were only charging like $100,000 back of the napkin math.

00:09:42.000 Then there were two grand juries.

00:09:44.000 I found this was odd in Georgia.

00:09:47.000 Normally, you would have a grand jury that would evaluate the matter and that would then make a charging decision or not.

00:09:55.000 And it always was odd to me that there were two separate grand juries.

00:09:59.000 And then I start to think to myself, well, maybe the reason there were two is so that Nathan Wade could double bill, double charge, and then...

00:10:08.000 Thanks to Nathan Wade's estranged wife, we now have all the evidence of the trips he took and how he took the money from Fonny Willis and then spent it on Fonny Willis.

00:10:20.000 Well, there's even more to this story and even more to the mismanagement.

00:10:25.000 Someone from Fannie Willis' office gets an audio recording, really a whistleblower here, is trying to say that there are grants that are being misused for personal emoluments, for trips, for laptops.

00:10:40.000 Take a listen from inside the Fulton County DA's office.

00:10:46.000 If you had to give me a sentence, what is the sentence being?

00:10:51.000 Once, I told him about his, respectfully in an email, about his lack of leadership and the fact that he wanted to do things with grants that were impossible.

00:11:02.000 And I kept telling him, like, we can't do that and questioning stuff.

00:11:06.000 He would take me off projects, tell people I wasn't doing what I was supposed to because I questioned him.

00:11:11.000 Because I understood.

00:11:12.000 I helped write that grant.

00:11:14.000 I knew what was in that grant.

00:11:15.000 He told everybody in front of Crystal, Deontay, everybody, we're going to get Macbooks, we're going to get swag, we're going to use it for travel.

00:11:24.000 I said, you cannot do that.

00:11:26.000 It's a very, very specific grant.

00:11:28.000 Took me off.

00:11:29.000 I questioned Junior DA. There's kids in there from out of the county, all this.

00:11:35.000 Took me off junior DA. I did not want to do it.

00:11:38.000 He made it look as if I wasn't doing what I needed to do because I questioned him.

00:11:43.000 Because I knew for a fact Mr. Cuffey respectfully did not know what he was doing.

00:11:48.000 Period.

00:11:49.000 So I respect that is your assessment.

00:11:53.000 It was clear to me that you and Mr. Cuffey were not getting along.

00:11:56.000 And I'm not saying that your assessment is wrong.

00:11:57.000 I want you to really listen to the words I'm saying.

00:12:01.000 Puffy, and this is my personal opinion, to one woman, to another, is dangerous to your administration.

00:12:07.000 He tells people, when I reached out to you, he told me, oh, you think your word is safe?

00:12:13.000 Exactly when you reached out to Ms. Willis, she called me and told me.

00:12:17.000 She told me everything.

00:12:18.000 So once you reach out to her, she's going to reach back out to me.

00:12:21.000 So I didn't even go to HR. He put Dexter's name on my PDP, and I didn't even feel safe going to anybody.

00:12:31.000 Supervisors that have failed in this building.

00:12:33.000 What's interesting to me, because I'm in a learning curve too, they each pretend to have a relationship with me that they do not have.

00:12:40.000 I guess that's an intimidation tactic.

00:12:43.000 I'm sorry that you felt that way, but Dexter certainly don't have no relationship with Michael Cuffey.

00:12:50.000 You were safe to go those places.

00:12:54.000 We're back live.

00:12:55.000 Swag and travel and laptops.

00:12:57.000 And if you listen closely to this interaction between clearly a distraught whistleblower who is talking about having written the very grants that are being abused, Fannie Willis tries to make it personal.

00:13:10.000 She tries to get away from The misuse of money, any accountability, any crime that may have occurred by making a misrepresentation about how funds were being used or planned to be used.

00:13:22.000 Instead, what you get from Fannie Willis is, well, it just sounds like you and this particular individual didn't get along.

00:13:30.000 And that's a tell, because it shows you that the construct for how Fonnie Willis views the work of the office is through the lens of personal relationships.

00:13:39.000 You see, this particular grant writer didn't get along with a supervisor, so that's really the problem.

00:13:46.000 And then on Nathan Wade, well, you see Fonnie Willis getting along with Mr. Wade real well in the receipts that are produced by Nathan Wade's wife, but since the relationship was strong between Willis and Wade, The financial malpractice and malfeasance was acceptable.

00:14:05.000 I am calling on the House Judiciary Committee to immediately hold hearings on the misuse of federal grants by Fannie Willis.

00:14:13.000 That whistleblower should be allowed to tell her story to the United States Congress.

00:14:17.000 Fonnie Willis should have to answer for any misuse of federal grants for personal lavish experiences.

00:14:24.000 And if there are other funds co-mingled with those federal funds that allow Fonnie Willis to go hire her married boyfriend, give him $650,000 and enjoy trips as a consequence, we need answers.

00:14:37.000 The House Judiciary Committee would be derelict in not bringing Fonnie Willis before us for a hearing following the release of this explosive whistleblower transcript.

00:14:47.000 And audio.

00:14:48.000 Let's get to the bottom of it.

00:14:49.000 Let's get her here to answer questions. 1.00

00:14:51.000 My expectation is that you'll learn a lot more about the corruption going on in the Fulton County DA's office.

00:14:58.000 Turning now to Capitol Hill, there was a really important hearing with Mark Zuckerberg over in the Senate.

00:15:05.000 And Zuckerberg got a real haranguing from Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

00:15:11.000 Let's listen in.

00:15:14.000 Instagram also displayed the following warning screen.

00:15:18.000 To individuals who were searching for child abuse material.

00:15:26.000 These results may contain images of child sexual abuse.

00:15:31.000 And then you gave users two choices.

00:15:34.000 Get resources or see results anyway.

00:15:41.000 Mr. Zuckerberg, what the hell were you thinking?

00:15:47.000 All right, Senator.

00:15:48.000 The basic science behind that is that when people are searching for something that is problematic, it's often helpful to, rather than just blocking it, to help direct them towards something that could be helpful for getting them to get help.

00:16:05.000 I understand get resources.

00:16:07.000 In what sane universe is there a link for see results anyway?

00:16:12.000 Well, because we might be wrong.

00:16:13.000 We try to trigger this warning, or we tried to, when we think that there's any chance that the results might be wrong.

00:16:21.000 Okay, you might be wrong.

00:16:22.000 Let me ask you, how many times was this warning screen displayed?

00:16:26.000 I don't know, but the...

00:16:28.000 You don't know.

00:16:28.000 Why don't you know?

00:16:30.000 I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head.

00:16:32.000 You know what, Mr. Zuckerberg, it's interesting you say you don't know it off the top of your head because I asked it in June of 2023 in an oversight letter and your company refused to answer.

00:16:44.000 Will you commit right now to within five days answering this question for this committee?

00:16:49.000 We'll follow up on that.

00:16:50.000 Is that a yes?

00:16:51.000 Not a will follow up.

00:16:53.000 I know how lawyers write statements saying we're not going to answer.

00:16:56.000 Will you tell us how many times this warning screen was displayed?

00:16:59.000 Yes or no?

00:17:00.000 Senator, I'll personally look into it.

00:17:02.000 I'm not sure if we have.

00:17:03.000 Okay, so you're refusing to answer that.

00:17:05.000 Let me ask you this.

00:17:06.000 How many times did an Instagram user who got this warning that you're seeing images of child sexual abuse, how many times did that user click on see results anyway?

00:17:16.000 I want to see that.

00:17:18.000 Senator, I'm not sure if we stored that, but I'll personally look into this and we'll follow up after.

00:17:25.000 Ted Cruz clearly did not have decaf on the morning of this questioning, and Zuckerberg is quite deft and quite charming in these deflections and in his unwillingness to commit to get information that Senator Cruz has been asking for for years.

00:17:39.000 Another of our great Senate firebrands also got all over Mr. Zuckerberg.

00:17:44.000 It was Senator Josh Hawley.

00:17:45.000 Take a listen.

00:17:48.000 With so much of our lives spent on mobile devices and social media, it's important to look into the effects on teen mental health and well-being.

00:17:56.000 I take this very seriously.

00:17:58.000 Mental health is a complex issue, and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes.

00:18:09.000 Did I hear you say in your opening statement that there's no link between mental health and social media use?

00:18:17.000 Senator, what I said is I think it's important to look at the science.

00:18:20.000 I know people widely talk about this as if that is something that's already been proven, and I think that the bulk of the scientific evidence does not support that.

00:18:28.000 Well, really, let me just remind you of some of the science from your own company.

00:18:33.000 Instagram studied the effect Of your platform on teenagers.

00:18:38.000 Let me just read you some quotes from the Wall Street Journal's report on this.

00:18:41.000 Company researchers found that Instagram is harmful for a sizable percentage of teenagers, most notably teenage girls.

00:18:48.000 Here's a quote from your own study.

00:18:50.000 Quote, we make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls. 1.00

00:18:55.000 Here's another quote.

00:18:56.000 Teens blamed Instagram.

00:18:57.000 This is your study for increases in the rate of anxiety and depression.

00:19:01.000 This reaction was unprompted and consistent across all groups.

00:19:05.000 That's your study.

00:19:07.000 Senator, we try to understand the feedback and how people feel about the services.

00:19:13.000 We can improve them.

00:19:14.000 Wait a minute.

00:19:14.000 Your own study says that you make life worse for one in three teenage girls.

00:19:21.000 You increase anxiety and depression.

00:19:23.000 And that's what it says.

00:19:23.000 And you're here testifying to us in public that there's no link.

00:19:26.000 You've been doing this for years.

00:19:28.000 For years you've been coming in public and testifying under oath that there's absolutely no link.

00:19:32.000 Your product is wonderful.

00:19:34.000 The science is nascent.

00:19:35.000 Full speed ahead.

00:19:36.000 While internally you know full well your product is a disaster for teenagers.

00:19:41.000 Senator, that's not true.

00:19:43.000 And yet you keep right on doing what you're doing.

00:19:45.000 It's not true.

00:19:45.000 Right?

00:19:46.000 37% of teenage girls between 13 and 15 were exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on Instagram.

00:19:53.000 You knew about it.

00:19:54.000 Who did you fire?

00:19:55.000 Senator, this is why we're building all these new rituals.

00:19:57.000 Who did you fire?

00:19:59.000 Senator, I don't think that that's...

00:20:01.000 Who did you fire?

00:20:02.000 I'm not going to answer that.

00:20:04.000 Because you didn't fire anybody, right?

00:20:06.000 You didn't take any significant action.

00:20:08.000 I don't think it's appropriate to talk about individual HR decisions.

00:20:12.000 It's not appropriate.

00:20:13.000 Do you know who's sitting behind you?

00:20:15.000 You've got families from across the nation whose children are either severely harmed or gone, and you don't think it's appropriate to talk about steps that you took?

00:20:26.000 The fact that you didn't fire a single person?

00:20:27.000 Let me ask you this.

00:20:28.000 Let me ask you this.

00:20:29.000 Have you compensated any of the victims?

00:20:31.000 Sorry?

00:20:31.000 Have you compensated any of the victims?

00:20:34.000 These girls, have you compensated them?

00:20:36.000 I don't believe so.

00:20:38.000 Why not?

00:20:40.000 Don't you think they deserve some compensation for what your platform has done?

00:20:45.000 Help with counseling services?

00:20:47.000 Help with dealing with the issues that your services caused?

00:20:51.000 Our job is to make sure that we build tools to help keep people safe.

00:20:54.000 Are you going to compensate them?

00:20:56.000 Senator, our job and what we take seriously is making sure that we build industry-leading tools to find harmful content, take it off the services, and to build tools that empower parents.

00:21:07.000 So you didn't take any action.

00:21:08.000 You didn't take any action.

00:21:10.000 You didn't fire anybody.

00:21:11.000 You haven't compensated a single victim.

00:21:12.000 Let me ask you this.

00:21:13.000 Let me ask you this.

00:21:14.000 There's families of victims here today.

00:21:15.000 Have you apologized to the victims?

00:21:19.000 Would you like to do so now?

00:21:21.000 They're here.

00:21:21.000 You're on national television.

00:21:23.000 Would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your project?

00:21:27.000 Show them the pictures.

00:21:28.000 Would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people?

00:21:32.000 It was quite a moment in the Senate Judiciary Committee when Zuckerberg did indeed take Holly up on that offer.

00:21:51.000 Kathy on Rumble asks an important question.

00:21:53.000 What about Section 230?

00:21:55.000 Didn't we get rid of that?

00:21:56.000 So here's the background.

00:21:57.000 Section 230 is a provision of law, federal law, that gives the publishers of information.

00:22:05.000 I should say that differently.

00:22:06.000 Section 230 allows entities that are technology platforms to avoid the liability thresholds that would exist if they were a publisher.

00:22:15.000 So there's this big debate going on, is Facebook just an aggregator or indeed are they a publisher?

00:22:21.000 and the more you see them engage in censorship and the more the algorithm tries to shape how people think, the more we really get to the point that there is no just blanket tech platform that makes information available that is operated by MENA.

00:22:36.000 And so we wanted to repeal Section 230, and we had Republicans and Democrats, certainly not Senator Hawley and Senator Cruz, but Republicans and Democrats who stood in the way of that effort.

00:22:47.000 So the very harm that you saw Senator Hawley and Senator Cruz express concern over is allowed to occur with a full liability shield for MENA.

00:22:59.000 So we bring them before Congress.

00:23:01.000 We ask these questions.

00:23:02.000 But at the end of the day, the people who are really harmed can't sue.

00:23:06.000 They should be able to.

00:23:07.000 That's why Section 230 should be repealed.

00:23:11.000 I now want to talk about something going on in Iowa.

00:23:14.000 Former Mississippi congressional candidate and American hero Michael Cassidy was just charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor in Iowa, for beheading that statue of the blasphemy that was placed on display at the state capitol in Iowa.

00:23:30.000 It was a big story.

00:23:31.000 He had this satanic symbol, and this veteran goes and beheads the weird idol thing. 0.98

00:23:39.000 But unfortunately for Michael, who did what was right, another demon has reared its ugly head.

00:23:45.000 That demon is the Soros-funded county attorney Kimberly Graham, who has decided to charge Michael with a felony hate crime.

00:23:54.000 Any same country would give Michael a medal, but while Michael may have earned himself another jewel in his crown of heaven, here he has earned himself official condemnation and enhanced felony charges.

00:24:06.000 From our most nefarious adversaries.

00:24:09.000 Now, county attorney Kimberly Graham is most known for taking over $300,000 from the George Soros Justice and Public Safety Political Action Committee.

00:24:20.000 And I've spent some time in Iowa recently.

00:24:22.000 $300,000 from a PAC for a county attorney.

00:24:27.000 Prosecutor position is a lot of money.

00:24:30.000 It is dispositive in races like that.

00:24:32.000 And if it's not enough to make your skin crawl, she claimed in the past that she was inspired to run for county attorney by Rachel Collins, the famous progressive DA in Boston, who publicly released a list of 15 crimes that her office would refuse to prosecute, like trespassing, shoplifting, larceny, disorderly conduct, receiving stolen property, Driving on a suspended license, breaking and entering with property damage, wanton and malicious destruction of property, threats, and more.

00:25:00.000 And we talk a lot about Soros prosecutors and their commitment to the destruction of the rule of law and really the mockery of natural law.

00:25:08.000 But one feature of anarcho-tyranny that gets less attention is that of unequal enforcement of the law.

00:25:16.000 Rules for thee, but not for me.

00:25:20.000 If Michael Cassidy destroyed a statue of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson or virtually any ancestral American deemed problematic by today's mores, well, he wouldn't have been prosecuted.

00:25:33.000 He probably would have received millions of dollars in settlements like the BLM rioters in Seattle. 0.71

00:25:38.000 But Michael is being prosecuted because he stands out.

00:25:42.000 For the values that the regime opposes, that this Soros-funded regime stands against.

00:25:48.000 This is not an isolated incident.

00:25:50.000 It's not even isolated to Iowa.

00:25:52.000 In 2019, Adolfo Martinez was sentenced to 15 years for the hate crime of burning a rainbow flag flying on the side of a church in central Iowa.

00:26:02.000 What happened to victimless crimes and restorative justice?

00:26:05.000 No, that's just for the left, and it's all a show.

00:26:08.000 It doesn't have to be consistent.

00:26:10.000 It's not meant to be.

00:26:12.000 A system isn't characterized by what it is meant to do.

00:26:15.000 It is characterized by what it does.

00:26:17.000 And the current system of laws throughout this country criminalizes the behavior of those that the regime hates, and it overlooks the behavior of those supported by the regime.

00:26:30.000 And then you see people like Michael, like Daniel Penny, pay the consequence For that unequal enforcement of the law.

00:26:38.000 So make no mistake, the regime has a state religion complete with its own blasphemy laws.

00:26:43.000 And if you offend the rainbow satanic empire, the powers that be will throw you in the lion's den. 0.91

00:26:50.000 That's what happened to Michael Cassidy.

00:26:52.000 It's what will happen to you if we do not take back control of the justice system and kick these Soros prosecutors out of office. 0.97

00:27:00.000 They are doing tremendous damage.

00:27:04.000 Speaking of damage here in Congress, we get another report from Quiver Quantitative regarding the trading that goes on with members of Congress.

00:27:12.000 So before I go over this specific post, I do not believe that members of Congress should be able to trade individual stocks.

00:27:21.000 Even if the action is not nefarious, it undermines our trust in the system, and oftentimes it is nefarious.

00:27:29.000 We don't let referees bet on the game, and we shouldn't let congressmen trade on individual stocks.

00:27:34.000 I highly recommend Quiver Quantitative as a follow at Q-U-I-V-E-R-Q-U-A-N-T. They've built a system that tracks these congressional trades, and one of them caught our eye.

00:27:47.000 Senator Mark Wayne Mullen just disclosed The EPA recently passed a mandate requiring utilities to upgrade to new automated water meters.

00:28:07.000 Senator Mullen sits on the Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works.

00:28:13.000 Tulsa, Oklahoma just announced that they will be spending $94 million to upgrade their meters.

00:28:20.000 Senator Mark Wayne Mullen represents the state of Oklahoma.

00:28:24.000 We'll keep an eye out to see how much federal money goes to Badger Meter.

00:28:28.000 Thank you for that report from Quiver Quantitative.

00:28:33.000 In New York City, mobs of migrants are attacking people and hurting them. 1.00

00:28:37.000 Take a watch.

00:28:41.000 A group of migrants in New York City are arrested after attacking NYPD officers near Times Square.

00:28:48.000 Five of those migrants were arrested, four already released without bail, Brian.

00:28:52.000 Can you imagine even putting your hands on a police officer and not thinking you're still in prison?

00:28:57.000 They are beating them up.

00:28:59.000 They don't even belong in this country and they're out of prison.

00:29:03.000 Well, some are repeat offenders.

00:29:04.000 The brawl started when two officers were trying to break up a rowdy crowd near a Migrant shelter around 42nd Street while arresting one of the men.

00:29:12.000 The others jumped in, as you're seeing, kicking and punching the officers.

00:29:15.000 That might work in your country.

00:29:16.000 It doesn't work here.

00:29:18.000 The Manhattan DA's office says it's investigating the incident as police search for five other men involved.

00:29:23.000 What's there to investigate?

00:29:24.000 It's an absolute embarrassment.

00:29:27.000 Remember that that Manhattan DA is Alvin Bragg, who has turned the streets over to the thugs and criminals while he's engaged in some novel stitching of federal election law to local reporting requirements in order to prosecute President Trump because he has failed to protect the people of Manhattan.

00:29:45.000 You see it right there.

00:29:46.000 So I guess to the folks in New York, when are you going to get tired of it?

00:29:50.000 When are you going to get tired of the fact that When are you going to get tired of the fact that they're throwing your kids out of the schools to house migrants? 1.00

00:30:01.000 This sanctuary city that you live in appears more like a hellhole to me, not a sanctuary that I would ever want to be a part of.

00:30:07.000 And maybe that's the reason that so many New Yorkers are taking their sanctuary in the Sunshine State.

00:30:14.000 And we welcome them so long as they remember why they're leaving, what they're coming to, and to preserve the greatness of the quality of life that we're able to lead in Florida that looks nothing like what you just saw with that New York City migrant mob. 0.98

00:30:29.000 There's a final update I want to give you regarding a matter in Northwest Florida.

00:30:32.000 We are very proud of our training mission and our testing mission, particularly at NAS Pensacola and Whiting Field.

00:30:39.000 We are able to have the best aviators in the Navy come through and Learn and prepare for their mission ahead and I'm very proud that in our congressional work we were able to secure additional updated newer flight training assets,

00:30:55.000 particularly new helicopter systems and new hangar systems to hold those helicopters at Whiting Field and there was recently an accident where two of our Flight students were in air taxi and were hospitalized after an incident where their helicopter during that taxi rolled over onto its side.

00:31:14.000 We've gotten reports now that there are no serious injuries.

00:31:17.000 Those flight students will be fine, but I will be following up on this matter to ensure that we've got the very best aviators, that we've got the very best equipment, and that we're prepared to project force anywhere in the world if necessary and certainly defend the homeland.
