1. US Military Action Against Cartels and Venezuela

  • Former President Donald Trump is described as escalating the “war on drugs” by treating drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

  • The US military has reportedly deployed warships, Marines, surveillance planes, and a submarine in the Caribbean to combat cartels.

  • A precision strike was carried out on a Venezuelan-linked drug boat, killing 11 alleged traffickers. Trump framed this as a warning to cartels worldwide.

  • Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is repeatedly accused of being a narco-trafficker, with a $50 million bounty on his capture. He is portrayed as defiant, mobilizing militias and accusing the US of plotting regime change.

  • Venezuelan dissidents and exiles are described as quietly celebrating US actions, while Venezuelans inside the country remain cautious due to fear of repression.

  • US officials, including Marco Rubio, emphasize this as the start of a more aggressive military-led campaign against transnational drug crime.

2. Drug Crisis in the US

  • The commentary repeatedly highlights the fentanyl epidemic, linking over 265,000 overdose deaths during Biden’s term to cartel activity.

  • Cartels are depicted as paramilitary organizations fueling violence, destabilizing governments, and threatening US security.

3. Florida’s Vaccine Mandate Repeal

  • The document then shifts to domestic policy, focusing on Florida’s decision (under Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state’s Surgeon General) to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those for schoolchildren.

  • This move is framed as parental choice and medical freedom, contrasting with what is portrayed as government overreach and CDC dishonesty during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Critics, including medical professionals, warn of rising risks of measles, polio, and other preventable diseases if mandates are removed.

  • Supporters argue that mistrust in public health authorities justifies giving parents control over vaccination decisions.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
President Donald Trump made it very clear when he was
running for president and backing it up now that if
you are in the drug trade, he considers you a
dangerous individual that is a member of a terrorist organization,
and he's not going to allow Americans to die at
the hands of fetnel and other drugs that have been
pouring into this country. Now, lots of those drugs have

(00:24):
been stopped because we have secured the border, but the
President says that's not enough. And now we're seeing what
is next on the present's agenda. The United States has
significantly ramped up its military presence in the Southern Caribbean.
We are now learning this started in late August and

(00:44):
now into September, as the US Navy has deployed around
seven to eight warships, including very large cruisers, amphibious assault vessels,
and at least one nuclear powered submarine. That's not all.
More than four thousand US personnel, including about twenty two

(01:06):
hundred marines, are now operating in the area. This build
up includes surveillance aircraft and even a US spyplane. We're
being told the stated objective is actually very clear combat
drug cartels, and the Trump administration has framed this deployment
as part of a broader campaign against Latin American drug

(01:29):
trafficking and criminal networks. Officials have labeled Venezuelan President Maduro
as a narco trafficker, boosting the reward for his capture
now to fifty million dollars, and designating his alleged cartel
of the SUNS a terrorist organization. Merdua's reaction has been fierce.

(01:52):
He's armed and mobilized and defiant President Maduro taking strong countermeasures,
deploying troops along the coast and Columbia border. He's also
called on citizens to join civilian militias and warren He
would quote constitutionally declare republic in arms if the US

(02:12):
forces attack. Maduro and other Venezuelan officials are now accusing
the US of using anti drug rhetoric as a pretext
for regime change and gunboat diplomacy. Here's more about the
move from Fox News.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Well, the US is deploying destroyers and thousands of marines
towards Venezuela as President Trump looks to crack down on
curtels and the Maduda regime. They could reportedly reach the
country's coast as soon as tomorrow. Here to discuss is
dissident project speaker and an immigrant from Venezuela, Jorque Galicia,
along with friger U political commentator and Venezuelan political refugee

(02:53):
Franklin Carmargo. So great to have you both on. I'm
going to start with you, Cordeke. What is the reaction
of Venezuelan. So I know you guys are in close
contact with people who are living there right now. Over
seventy eighty percent of the country voted for the opposition
party against Madudo. How are they feeling in this moment

(03:14):
knowing that these destroyers are coming so close to the
Venezuelan coast.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Well, first of all, Rachel, thank you for having me again.
I think many people in Venezuela are extremely optimistic. They
cannot really be loud about it because they're facing a
terrible criminal regime. If they express their gratitude towards the
United States government and towards President Trump for what is
for the pressure he's acting against Maluru, They're going to

(03:39):
face horrible consequences. That's why you don't really see a
lot of expressions coming out of Venezuela.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
But you know, I have people there.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I talked to them, they're happy.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I spoke to one of the opposition activists who was
holed up in that embassy for over a year before
she was rescued, and I asked her and she said,
it's a silent euphoria. And so while they're quietly celebrating
what President Trump is doing right now in Venezuelan and

(04:11):
frankly for the whole Western hemisphere Franklin, meanwhile, Venezuelans who
are living abroad are putting out the most remarkable TikTok
Instagram videos I've ever seen. You're seeing the destroyers coming
into the ocean and the planes coming overhead and YMCA playing,
and just the euphoria from the dissident community who's abroad

(04:34):
is so palpable and thankful to the administration. Give us
more context to that.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Yes, the Venezuelan people recognizes that the Trauma administration is
probably one of the biggest allies that freedom fighters Venezuela
and freedom fighters have had over the last twenty five years.
Is someone who has recognized that Maduro is not just
a threat to South America, it's not just a threat
to Venezuelans, but it's also a threat to the American people.

(05:00):
It is the most important thing to mention right now
when we talk about Nicolas Maduru, when we talk about
Venezuelan regime, we're not just talking about a government that
we dislike or a dictatorship, a soft dictatorship.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
We're talking about a narco state, a government that produced
over twenty five percent of the entire cocaine that is
produced in the entire world. It's also a regime that
sent Trendagua, the same criminal organization that killed, for example,
Lake in Riley, or that killed Joseline Nongarai. So there

(05:34):
is a need for the American people, for the well
being of the American people in the Western hemisphere, to
have a regime changed to stop, to stop these cartels.
But Venezuelans recognized that Trump is an ally that the
US government is probably the biggest hope that we currently have.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now you hear the stats there, it's very clear that
not only is this in essence I failed state, it's
a state where the people rose up against Maduro and
he just clung to power anyway, And now we know
that he is nothing but a narco terrorist. It is
a terrorist organization that he's a part of, and his
money is coming directly from the cocaine that he is

(06:15):
delivering to the world. Yet, Venezuela's president is now accusing
the United States of seeking regime change in his country
and the military deployment that has happened now, it was
authorized by President Trump in a simple effort to disrupt
drug cartel activity. It's part of the White Houses, they
described it his broader border policy. Maduro said the build

(06:37):
up is an intervention in his quote country's affairs, saying
this to the people, they are seeking regime change through
military threat, and that's where he also wants the rest
of the world to believe. Maduro added, quote, Venezuela is
confronting the biggest threat that has ever seen on our
continent in the last one hundred years, and saying a

(06:58):
situation like this has never been seen. Maduro said Venezuela
won't bow to threats and that it was super prepared.
Now the Trump administration is accused again maduav of engaging
in drug trafficking, going so far as to announce that
fifty million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest
and his conviction. The fifty million dollars that is not

(07:21):
a little amount of money when it comes to how
much we're willing to pay as a nation. This is
one of the biggest rewards we've ever had. Take a
listen to this from Fox as well.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
People have wanted to do this for years.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
President Trump putting war back in the War on drugs,
designating eight drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
It allows us to now target what they're operating and
to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the
Department of Defense, whatever to target these groups. If we
have an opportunity to do it, we have to start
treating them as armed terrorist organizations, not simply drug dealing organizations.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
That changes the battlefield.

Speaker 8 (07:59):
Cartel members become enemy combatants and allow the use of
military assets.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
The question is how the Navy.

Speaker 8 (08:06):
Intercepting ships carrying narcotics special operations targeting cartel leaders or
drone strikes on drug labs in Mexico.

Speaker 10 (08:14):
Mexico probably doesn't want that. What do we have to do?
What's right?

Speaker 8 (08:20):
Publicly, President Claudia Steinbaum says Mexico will cooperate, but claims
the US plans no boots on the ground, nothing in it.

Speaker 11 (08:28):
It has nothing to do with Mexican territory. It has
to do with their country.

Speaker 12 (08:32):
It does not involve our territory.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
Yet, most cocaine goes through Mexico, and it produces most
of the fentanyl that killed more than two hundred and
sixty five thousand Americans during President Biden's term.

Speaker 12 (08:45):
These are armed organizations that have their own militaries. I
absolutely believe that we need to take action. It's what
type of action are we going to take.

Speaker 8 (08:56):
But just because you don't hear about an operation doesn't
mean it didn't happen. Now, one of the name cartels
is the Venezuelan gang Trende a Agua. Last week, the
US slept a fifty million dollar bounty on President Nicholas Maduro,
accusing him of using it to help traffic narcotics into
the US.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Let's just stop there for a second and also just
recognize something that was said there. Under the Biden administration,
more than a quarter million Americans died from fetnol, an
overdose from fetnel. You think about that number, and then
you think about these cartels. They've engaged in historic violence
and tear throughout our hemisphere and around the globe. They

(09:36):
have destabilized the economies and internal security of countries while
also flooding the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
And vicious gangs.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
That is what the Chief Pentagon spokesman, Sean Parnell said
during a news conference this week. He also said this
it requires a whole of government effort and through coordinate
with regional partners, the Department of Defense will undoubtedly play
an important role in meeting the Presence objective to eliminate
the ability of these cartels to threaten the territory, safety

(10:12):
and the security of the United States and its people.
As a matter of security and policy, we do not
speculate on future operations now. What is very clear is
the Presence saying I'm not waiting around for nations to act.
I'm going to act now because it's important that we

(10:32):
protect and defend America's homeland and make sure that while
he's present, another quarter million Americans don't lose their lives
to fetnal overdoses. And that doesn't count all of those
that are killed by cartel members and the violent gangs
that are in America as well. I want to talk
to you about my friends at kirk Elliott Precious Metals.

(10:53):
Two days ago, I got my new order of silver.
Now I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing
on it is amazing and the upside well, it's real.
I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It
is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one
hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought it

(11:14):
at the right price and I wasn't paying massive up
charges on quote, rare or special coins, and then when
you go to sell them, you take away all of
your earning potential. Why do they do it this way
at Kurt Elliott Because they have transparent pricing up front.
It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy,

(11:34):

you sell. There are no hidden fees ever with Kurt
Elliott Precious Metals. This is the reason why I recommend them.

because they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure,

(13:05):
major news, Donald Trump has ordered US military strike on
a drug boat, killing at least eleven trendel Araga terrats
in a warning to drug traffickers. They did not know
that the attack was happening until they were already basically dead,
and it happened on direct orders from President Donald Trump.

(13:28):
The US military forces launched a precision strike we've now
learned on the drug laden vessel. In international waters, killing
all eleven Narco terrorists en route to the United States.
Trump declared the operation a clear warning to traffickers that
those who smuggle poisoned towards America shores will face swift

(13:51):
and lethal consequences. Now, one of the things you need
to understand about this attack is the terrorists, the Narco
terraces had no idea it was even happening. They were
not swerving or driving at a high rate of speed
trying to get away from what they thought was a
threat to them. They were doing normal business the way

(14:12):
they've been able to do it for years under the
Biden administration. They had no clue that their life was
about to come to an end. Now, yes, the President
of United States of America had warned countless times while
running for office and since he's been elected that if
you are a Narco terrorist that we will come after
you and hunt you down. This seems to be not

(14:35):
the end, but the beginning of these actions. The President
putting it this way on true socials, saying, quote, earlier
this morning, on my orders, US military forces conducted a
kinetic strike against a positively identified trend Deiraguet Narco terrorists
in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. The strike occurred while

(14:57):
the terrorists were at sea and international waters, transporting illegal
narcotics heading to the United States. The President was also
asked about this in the Oval Office, and here's part
of what he had to say.

Speaker 10 (15:10):
When you come out, and when you leave the room,
you'll see that we just over the last few minutes
literally shot out a boat, a drug carrying boat, a
lot of drugs in that boat, and you'll be seeing
that and you'll be reading about that. It just tappened
moments ago. And our great General, head of the Joint

(15:32):
Chiefs of Staff, who has been so incredible, including what
took place in Iran, knocking out potential nuclear power for
a long time to come. I think within a month
they would have had it. We didn't do what we did,
but he gave us a little bit of a briefing,

(15:52):
and you'll see and there's more where that came from.
We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country,
coming in for a long time, and we just these
came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela.
A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. So
we took it out and you'll get to see that
after this meeting is over.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
The President also included the video for the world to see.
It showed that aerial view of the Panga boat. At
the twenty second mark in the video, the boat explodes,
bursts into flames, and then the boat quickly sank. Now
why did the President put it out there? He wanted
the world to be on notice that if you're bringing

(16:36):
drugs in the United States of America to kill our citizens,
we're going to hunt you down and we're going to
kill you. The Commander in Chief added this. The strike
resulted in the eleven terraces killed in action. No US
forces were harmed in the strike. Please let this serve
as a notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs

(16:57):
into the United States of America beware. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. We also know that the
Pentagon has made it clear that they are in fact
looking at in essence plans, attack plans, and the CIA
is involved in monitoring narco terrorists where they are, where
their labs are, and there's a very good chance the

(17:18):
President could be ordering the strike on their locations very
soon as well. What's even more surprising is the response,
whether it's Mexico's present when she came out and said
there isn't a problem and said that it's not a
threat to America and that America must also respect the
sovereignty and stay out of Mexico. There's a very clear

(17:43):
line that's being drawn in the sand there. We also
know what the leader in Venezuela is saying. He's very
angry at the US. Why because there is a fifty
million dollar bounty on his head for arrest because he
is also a narco terrorist. So this is the president
putting his words into action, making it clear that the

(18:06):
president is not going to let this stand. Here's also
what Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, had to say,
as he says the cartels, well, they're in for a
very roote awakening.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
The president is going to be on offense against drug
cartels and drug trafficking in the United States. If you
stabilize it's not just the country, but the entire Caribbean basin.
These particular drugs are probably headed to Trinidad or some
other country in the Caribbean, at which point they just
contribute to the instability these countries are facing. So the
President's been very clear he's going to use the full

(18:38):
power of America and the full might of the United
States to take on and eradicate these drug cartels. No
matter where they're operating from, and no matter how long
they've been able to act with impunity, those days are over.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Marco Rubio is absolutely right. The world should be paying
attention to what the President did. In fact, that's exactly
what Jim Hanson World Straight President had to say to
Jesse Waters on his show after the Venezuelan cocaine boat strike.
Listen carefully, cartel members, this is what you need to understand.

Speaker 13 (19:11):
Did you hear the Secretary of State not take strikes
inside of Venezuela off the table?

Speaker 4 (19:18):
I don't think anything's off the table.

Speaker 14 (19:19):
And I think anybody who thought that when President Trump
designated the drug cartels as terrorists he was kidding can
take a look at that oil slick in the Caribbean
Sea and see what they found out. This is a
message to the cartels and to state leaders who coddle
them and allow them to operate, that that's no longer
a free ride to make money bringing death into the

(19:42):
United States.

Speaker 13 (19:44):
How robust is this operation going to be I.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
Think as robust as they need to. I think, you know,
it's fun.

Speaker 14 (19:51):
For Maduro and other people to say, oh, we know,
we've got marines, we've got IEDs, we've got these things.
They don't have anything that can stand up to the
military might the United States.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
And I think this is a good start.

Speaker 14 (20:03):
There will probably be some more object lessons, maybe a
drone strike on a lab something like that, and they're
pretty quickly going to find out that We're not going
to put up with them making billions of dollars, doing
human trafficking and killing our own citizens without a very
robust response, right.

Speaker 13 (20:22):
And so you have drugs pouring into the country, people
are dying, you have Chevron getting shot around with, and
you have a guy down there that's flirting with Putin,
flirting with Xi and China.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Do you think this kind of.

Speaker 13 (20:37):
Operation, if it goes forward, has the support of the American.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
People, Oh, one hundred percent.

Speaker 14 (20:43):
I mean, the American people are sick of seeing these
drug traffickers and these cartels destroying our country with no consequences.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
And if any of these people down.

Speaker 14 (20:53):
In South America think they're going to make friends in
our hemisphere, with the Russians and the Chinese or anybody else.
They're gonna find out the President Trump is back in charge,
America is on top.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
That's not gonna play.

Speaker 13 (21:07):
Is there a risk of counter strikes inside the US
proper from the cartels?

Speaker 4 (21:14):
There is?

Speaker 14 (21:14):
You know, and the idea, I mean asymmetric warfare is
the Achilles heel of the United States. We are one
giant soft target here inside the United States. However, payback
can be a metavac if they try something like that,
you know, you go ahead and hit us here, and
you want to see some holy hell unleashed wherever you're operating.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
I don't think they do it more than once.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Now, you may also be asked yourself the question why
would leaders of countries like Mexico not work with the
president to get rid of the cartels. President Trump on
Air Force one back on five' five of this, year
had this to say about The president Of. Mexico listen, carefully.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Actually got wanted help with the.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Cartels we would be honored to go in A i
told her THAT i would be honored to go to
do it to cartels are trying to destroy our. Country they're.
Evil Bus she's so afraid of that. Cartel she can't
walk stick into the. Citations AND i think she's a lovely,
Woman but the president Of exigo is a lovely, woman
but she is so afraid of the cartels that you

(22:19):
can't even think.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Straight and that's exactly why The President United states Of
america is stepping up. Now, so, yes hitting this boat
was important for our safety and. Security it also was
important to send a message to the cartel members that
if you're running drugs Into, america you are a target
of The United states Of. America and based on what

(22:41):
we're watching right, now this is not the, end but
probably the beginning Of President trump's war on, drugs except
his war is going to Have american military behind. It
cause and effect is something that happens all the. Time,
well there was a major cause of effect when it
came TO covid nineteen and the lies that were told

(23:03):
to The american people about that vaccine and so many
of the regulations and rules that put us in a
lockdown for far too. Long what. Happened there's a lot
of people now asking more questions than ever about THE
cdc and not trusting THE, cdc not trusting them on.
Vaccines it also brought up an even bigger, point should

(23:25):
the government be able to mandate what vaccines you have
to have for your? Kids, Well, florida they said they
believe that parents should have the rights over their, children
not the federal government when it comes to. Vaccines let
me be clear about what happened In. Florida it is
not In, florida and this is very, important a ban on.

(23:48):
Vaccines What florida has now done is said parents could,
decide not the, government and that brings us to the big.
Headline liberals are losing their minds because they want the
government to be able to dictate to you what you
have to do for your. Children, florida now we, know
plans to eliminate all vaccine, mandates including those required for

(24:13):
children attending public. Schools the announcement came from The Surgeon
general Of florida and was made during a press conference
Alongside Governor ron De. Santis, now The Surgeon general describe
the mandates as oppressive and even liken them to, slavery
and frame the repeal as a matter of printal, choice bodily,

(24:34):
autonomy and medical. Freedom, florida by the, way would become
the FIRST us state to withdraw mandatory vaccination requirements, entirely
marking a significant shift from decades of public health. Policy,
now while The department Of health can rescind mandates it issued,
administratively any vaccine requirements established by, laws such as those for, polio,

(24:59):
measles and you know, intentanus for, example will require legislative
action to quote unquote. Repeal, well the liberals their minds
exploded over, this as well as many in the medical.
Field The American Medical associations say that the repeal would
quote undermined decades of public health progress and dramatically increase

(25:22):
the risk of serious. Illness, well guess what if you
guys at THE cdc and in the medical community wouldn't
have lied about THE covid vaccine and its, effectiveness or
the spread or masking or staying six feet apartners shutting
down the, schools or any of the issues you lied
to us about WITH, covid then we might actually believe

(25:42):
you on issues moving. Forward but the reality Is americans.
Don't infectious disease leaders also came out warning of likely
outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles and, polio especially in
schools and vulnerable Populations. Forida democrats echo these, concerns With
Senator jones calling it a quote grave public health. Risk

(26:05):
another state senator emphasized disease like polio could return and
that would be horrific For. Florida, NOW i went ON
Cnn newsnight With Abby. Phillips it was the lead, story
AND i want you to hear how the media is
now Attacking Donald trump for, this saying that he's going
to have kids die because of a popsey it's been

(26:27):
acted In. Florida, yes they want to fearmonger you and control.
You yet, again listen.

Speaker 11 (26:34):
Carefully joining the conversation for this one is Doctor Chris.
Parnell she's the director of THE Naacp center For Health
equity And Public health And Preventative. Medicine physician and Doctor,
purnell you know this. Well in twenty, twenty we had
thirteen cases of measles twenty twenty, five fourteen, hundred a

(26:55):
huge increase in whooping cough whooping cough in this. Country
and at the same, time the eight of vaccine exemptions
have gone up by about a point since twenty. Nineteen
none of this is by, Accident none of this is by,
osmosis and now this In florida.

Speaker 15 (27:12):
Reckless IF i could summon up in one, word let's
just go to some, facts AND i have them here
to keep myself. Honest since the last thirty, years we've
saved over one hundred and fifty million lives because of vaccines.
Globally if we begin to think about in The United,
states we've saved over one point one million children due

(27:34):
to vaccination since nineteen ninety. Four we've prevented five hundred
and eight million illnesses in thirty two million. Hospitalizations that's
not anything to wink. At that's hardcore. Data but what's
happening in The United states is as if we are
a runaway. Train in public, health we talk about the

(27:56):
cliff of good, health and we have fallen completely off
of a. Cliff that's kind of.

Speaker 11 (28:00):
What it feels like in a. Way ben that everybody
sitting at this, table all the folks In, florida all
of these people who are vaccine skeptics now have benefited
from vaccines allowing them to live their lives without, polio without,
measles and now all of a sudden they want to
pull the rug out from underneath. Children i'm surprised by. IT i,

(28:23):

Table if you lived In, florida what what would two?

Speaker 10 (28:29):
Things they're not.

there's a cause and. Effect and THE cdc lied to
us ABOUT covid and they lied a. Lot they lied
about masks in, school they lied about, Distancing they lied
about the efficiency or the effectiveness of THE covid nineteen. Vaccine,
true it is TRUE.

Speaker 4 (28:47):

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Did they not lie about the Effective.

Speaker 15 (28:54):
Yes if you talk about if we're looking at high quality,
Masks if we're looking at high quality, masks, right so
mass permit infections because this is the way science. Works
science works as you get, data the type of communication
that you.

Speaker 11 (29:13):
Give you can't say.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
The reason you.

Speaker 11 (29:17):
CAN'T i THINK i actually think it's. Important it's very
if you're saying things that are. ACCURATE i do think
it's fair for her to.

Speaker 16 (29:25):
Count he said that masking was effective and work when
they knew internal documents said it came out.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
That it didn't.

Speaker 4 (29:32):

going to have a? Conversation are you just going to keep? Talking,
look hold, on. Okay first of, all what she is
disputing is your language around, this which is that they. Lied,
yes exactly which she's. SAYING i think she's right about
this is not. True there certain types of masks that

(30:01):
work better than others. SCIENCE i, mean this is this
Is florida did.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
This let's me just what you guys don't understand that
there's a cause and effect that The american people don't
trust this for the REASONS i, said you may not like.

Speaker 11 (30:16):
This you may not like The americans don't trust THE
cd BECAUSE Rfk junior AND.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I got the job because.

Speaker 11 (30:25):
People hold on a, second, okay, man just give me one. Second,
okay this This Florida Surgeon general has been railing against
vaccines for a, while but he's also responsible for a
lot of. Misinformation he's altered key findings in A covid
nineteen vaccine safety. Study. Practice he pushed things like cures

(30:46):
like ivermectin and others for ford not.

Covid you guys screwed us and we failed. Miserably isn't
it amazing how they're so angry that you have parents
that are going to have the right to make a
decision for their children what is best for. Them they
cannot stand that the government can't dictate to the, people

(31:27):
at least In florida on the issue of. Vaccines they
cannot stand to admit that the reason why this, happened
the reason WHY Rfk juniors and the government is because
the cause of effect of THE cdc lying pathologically to
The american people every step of the way on the
issue OF covid, nineteen the effectiveness of vaccines and masking

(31:48):
and all the other things THAT i just. Mentioned and
they're mad that this is happening In. Florida, now, LOOK
i think the people In florida should be. TRUSTED i
think the people In florida should have the to do
what's best for their. Children and if the doctors are
angry that they say the science is overwhelming that these
vaccine mandates should be a, thing well then they should

(32:12):
actually talk to their patience about. It with compassion and
understanding instead of the arrogance that you just heard right
there from that, doctor condescending and frustrated of anybody that
would ever question. Her as a, quote, doctor you heard,
