00:00So a lot of Floridians hopefully will be able to enjoy that.
00:03I want to make a quick comment on, you know, we got news last night that we had a judge try to upset the apple cart with respect to our deportation and detainee processing center down in South Florida at Alligator Alcatraz.
00:21I just wanted to just say this was not something that was unexpected.
00:25This is a judge that was not going to give us a fair shake.
00:28This was preordained, very much an activist judge that is trying to do policy from the bench.
00:36This is not going to deter us.
00:38We're going to continue working on the deportation.
00:41You have people that are in this country that have already been ordered to be removed by the current system, and yet the previous administration didn't want to do anything about it.
00:51We're now in this position where we're leading the state efforts to help the Trump administration actually enforce the law and actually remove these illegal aliens from not just Florida but from our country.
01:04And that's something that we didn't have for four years, and now that's something that we're absolutely on board with making sure happens going forward.
01:12And so we're not going to be deterred.
01:15We're totally in the right on this.
01:19But I would also note because of the success of Alligator Alcatraz, there's demand for more.
01:25So I did announce.
