Can you take us back to who Weston was, the big brother, the athlete, the kid with the golden heart, and what life looked like for your family before February 27, 2022? He was just
24:27
an incredible kid.
24:29
He, you know, he was my firstborn.
24:33
He was silly, funny.
24:35
He was a little character.
24:36
Um, he was an athlete just a really good friend had a bunch of friends love to be social love to make people smile he would always stand up to stand up for for what was right i remember he compromised his um his friendships by standing up for a kid who was very obviously being bullied, and that's the kind of kid he was.
25:11
He wasn't afraid to do the right thing.

13 MINS LATER

Why do you make that direct connection and what evidence from the crisis do you want listeners to understand?
22:31
I don't care if we get her name right, it's fine, Ann.
22:34
yeah she was she was there were a lot of them that were horrendous also um we our jaws were dropping during um mary gay scanlon's um atrocious um questioning but it was just you know it was horrible sitting there.
22:52
It was really just very uncomfortable.
22:55
They don't care about American citizens, and Jessica did such a fantastic job.
23:01
She was amazing.
23:03
She truly just hammered back at every single thing, and she's so new in this fight, and she did such a tremendous job.
23:10
I really, I have to say that she is, like, a complete natural at fighting this fight.
25:07
Why do you think, Ann, that Democrats think this is a hill to die on, to stand up for sanctuary policies? Is it just about turning those people into voters and winning so they can stay in power? What do you think it is? I don't know.
22:22
Where are we right now as a country?
22:26
Well, thank God for President Trump.
22:28
We were really going downhill.
22:30
It was getting worse.
22:32
My hands were over my face daily listening to the news of another 10,000 people, another caravan, you know, more people being arrested with 400,000 fentanyl pills and being given a date to come back for a court date, and they would never show up.
22:48
It was just the wild, wild west out there.
22:51
And then, you know, I just knew that President Trump was our only hope.
24:45
So do we have any figures, facts and figures to back up, you know, what this is translated into?
43:02
Ann, your reaction when you heard about what the president would be declaring on the 22nd and then inviting all those families to the White House today and having them present while he signed that proclamation.
43:13
It was a beautiful event.
43:16
I was very moved.
43:17
I watched the whole thing.
43:20
Tammy is a good friend of mine and I love seeing her sweet daughter next to President Trump while he signed it.
43:25
It was really a beautiful moment.
43:28
I just am so honored and thrilled that he would yet again do something for us.
46:22
And same question to you.
