moments, which is exceptional. you know, i have to say this moment of standing up for our constitution and our declaration of independence is something i don t think should be controversial. just recently, one of my appointments to the state school board stood up in a school board meeting and advocated that we should teach about our constitution and we should teach about our declaration of independence. and all of a sudden, there was an effort made by left liberal democrats to smear her and remove her, and they did just that recently. and that s she s with us here tonight. i want to thank you for your service.

training facility they call cop city. according to police, a group of violent agitators were operating under the cover of a police will protest in the forested area around the site. they showed up, changed into black clothing, and broke into the construction area, throwing rocks, bricks, molotov cocktails, watching fireworks, and setting fire to the construction vehicles. police say the group launched a coordinated attack, torching that equipment and even burning down a surveillance tower. but the protesters are telling a different story. they accuse the police of lashing out at attendees at a nearby music festival organized by that same group. at least 35 people were arrested. police say many of them are from out of town and are calling the attack and active anarchy. you attack law enforcement officers, you damage equipment, you are breaking the law. this was a very violent attack. this wasn t about a public safety training center, it was about anarchy in the attempt t
