00:00Well, first, just let me say we have a huge, huge problem with anti-Semitism running wild
00:16in this country right now. And I know it doesn't represent the vast majority of people, particularly
00:22in the state of Florida. But why are we letting people like this guy into the country from
00:27Colorado? He should have never been here to begin with, and he sure as hell should have
00:32been sent home when this visa expired. And this is the wages of having basically an open
00:39border for four years under the previous administration. But this whole thing where, and you saw it starting
00:47on October 7th, you saw what's happened at our universities, you've seen attacks against
00:53Jews, you saw the two Israelis in D.C. You see this Colorado. You know, this is really
01:01sick, but we've got to take this seriously. And you shouldn't be allowing this, having policies
01:08that allow this to foment. I do think that there's a lot that goes on, quite frankly, in
01:13some of the lies that get spread in the media that probably get some of these guys wound up.
01:19But it's really now we've we've done a lot in Florida over the years. This is nothing new for
01:26us to be to be responding. When October 7th happened, we were rescuing Americans out of
01:32Israel. We did that before Biden even did it. And you know, he was the president of the United
01:36States. So we have done security for Jewish day schools. We after October 7th, we sent highway
01:42patrol and other other assets. So I don't know what we've received. I haven't personally,
01:49believe that doesn't mean that one of our agencies hasn't. But we'll continue to respond the way
01:53that we've always responded. This type of stuff will not fly in Florida. And we will we will
02:00do we can obviously to prevent and certainly if anyone makes the mistake of doing what this
02:05guy in Colorado, you know, you will absolutely live to regret that. Yes.
