(01:24):
Now back to you, Doug, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Thank you. Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General doctor
Joseph Lappido, have announced plans to eliminate all state vaccine mandates,
including those required for school children. Lapido, a Nigerian American physician,
says the government has no right to control what goes
into a person's body. Your body is a gift from God.
What you put into your body, what you put into

(01:49):
your body is because of your relationship.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
With your body and your God.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I don't have that right.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Government does not have that right.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
The move would make Florida the first DAID to fully
dismantled school related vaccine requirements health professionals war and this
could lead to outbreaks of diseases long thought to be
under control for Black Floridians, especially in rural and low
income areas. The rollback could mean fewer protections and greater
health risks. Lord new Health Commission will oversee the changes,
but the debate is far from over and children may

(02:21):
pay the price. I kind of sad, all right. Meanwhile, today,
Louisiana Congressman African American Troy Carter, who represents New Orleans,
is responding to President Trump suggesting to send in federal
troops to the Big Easy due to its high level
of crime. Representative Carter told CNN earlier today that the
city needs investment, not intimidation, arguing that militarizing the streets

(02:41):

Speaker 3 (02:44):
New Orleans has home row Charter, Our local charter visa
via local constitution, declares that the city has the autonomy
to govern itself. Listen, we encourage and embrace any help
that this president wants to give. If you really want
to be helpful to the people of New Orleans, identify

(03:05):
funding sources that we can work with providing for better
pay for police officers, better recruitment and retention, working with
our District Attorney's office so they can have the state
of the art equipment that allows them to have better
prosecution rates.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Trump's latest crime crackdown has gotten the support of the
state's Republican governor, Jeff Langery, who says he's on board
and even requested help. In the heavily black city of Shreveport.
New Orleans, led by a black mayor, has a long
history of over policing and economic hardship. Critics say Trump's
plan ignores root causes and risks, and finally, President Trump
has pulled the plug on a Biden era plan to

(03:42):
force airlines to pay passengers for flight delays and cancelations,
leaving passengers with less rights and no cash. The rule,
introduced under President Biden, would have required airlines to compensate
passengers up to seven hundred and seventy five dollars for
long delays, but Trump says it's dropping the plan some
feel because of his billionaire buddies that own airlines. Trump's

(04:03):
team says the ruled is being withdrawn, which is consistent
with Department and administration priorities. Okay, stay informed, stay connected
