00:30There's a swing, line drive, base hit to right field.
00:51You want to talk about a culture shock growing up there and then ending up in New Haven, Connecticut
00:55Come talk to me about it.
01:25It's not simply a matter of neglect or command failure.
01:55Rather, the use of torture and inhumane treatment was the Bush administration's policy.
02:01They are not entitled to the same constitutional rights as you or I are or other American citizens.
02:15My basic role was, okay, you know, tell me what we what you want to accomplish
02:20and we'll make it work.
02:33I've been doing stuff for 15 years,
02:34so now and taking a step away to go be with the family is really special.
02:50Ron was also saying that, well, you know, even though they ratified slavery,
02:59they also put the provisions in the Constitution, which allowed us 75 years later to fight against
03:06that and have a massive proclamation. And so, oh, thank you, boss. DeSantis.
03:11So appreciate.
03:20I've taken an oath to the Constitution. I've served in Iraq, prosecuted criminals,
03:26and I'm still in the Navy Reserve. I take my oath seriously. It's time Congress did too.
04:11This whole email saga, how they've handled it, how they lied to the public repeatedly,
04:20how emails were destroyed, that is going to be standard operating procedure
04:25in a Hillary Clinton administration.
04:41The Russia investigation, who started it?
04:44Congressman, that matter is under review by the Intelligence Committee,
04:50and there's nothing that I can talk about publicly regarding the initiation of the investigation.
05:06A few weeks ago, the president tweeted support for me as a candidate for governor of Florida.
05:11So today we're going to be filing the paperwork to begin that.
05:30I'd like to introduce a true leader, a proud veteran, my great friend, a tough, brilliant
05:40cookie. And I'm not going to allow any sanctuary cities in the state of Florida.
05:50The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda.
05:56One of your donors called President Obama the N-word. You denounced his comments,
06:00but you did not return the money.
06:02Now, I'm not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist. I'm simply saying the racists believe he's a racist.
06:10I'd like to thank our president for standing by me when
06:29when it wasn't necessarily the smart thing to do.
06:39Hurricane Michael brought widespread destruction to the communities impacted.
06:47We will stand with you. I will lead efforts to save
06:50our waterway. We will fight toxic blue-green algae.
07:02You got a lot of people in your profession who waxed poetically for weeks and weeks
07:07about how Florida was going to be just like New York. Wait two weeks, Florida's going to be next.
07:12Just like Italy, wait two weeks. Well, hell, we're eight weeks away from that,
07:16and it hasn't happened.
07:17Florida has become the new epicenter, not only in the country, but in the world.
07:21Shame on you. You are an embarrassment. You are an embarrassment.
07:25We're getting record-breaking cases every day, and you are doing nothing.
07:49If a local government tries to defund the police, we at the state can stop that.
07:54We're able to put people in jail if they riot or assault a police officer.
08:04Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other
08:09is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.
08:24Thank you, the people of Florida, for your faith, your support, and your trust you have placed in me.
08:32Not bad for a kid who started out making $6 an hour.
