Quantico

Excuse me, an Iwo Jima statue was vandalized.

A 27-year-old man accused of using a sledgehammer to damage the Iwo Jima monument outside the Marine Corps base in Quantico was granted bond Monday, according to court records.

Why? Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano.

Guess where he's not from.

One quick point of personal privilege here.

A couple days ago, an illegal alien who was in the country from Mexico attacked the Iwo Jima monument down at Quantico.

Using a sledgehammer, took off the head of it.

Now, this is just disgusting.

And the police arrived very quickly.

This was at Quantico Base in Marine Base in Virginia.

And he was wailing away with that sledgehammer.

I mean, that memorial now is busted up, shattered into a thousand pieces.

I'm the proud son of a 24-year Sergeant Major, decorated Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps, and my dad was stationed.

He was Marines all the way.

I fly the flag out here, and he was stationed in Quantico, and he would load us in the wagon once in a while when we were doing our chores and bring us to the memorial, and it was... you would go there and you would just, there was something that came over you that just made you feel and the respect and the quiet.

And my dad was very quiet in the car and we just go out, walk around, see it.

Go ahead.

The statue that got its head knocked off by the illegal alien, that is not the Marine one cast in bronze in Quantico.

The main one, the one that we think of as the Marine Corps Memorial, that one is on a Marine base in Quantico, and that was not attacked at all.

And my friend who's a Marine said that if anybody would have attempted that on that base, the Marine guards would have shot them dead immediately.

So that, you know, apparently this is some sort of a reproduction one.

Go ahead.

It really wasn't the announcement.

In fact, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had unveiled this program back on September 30th in a speech to troops at Quantico.

It was a speech called Fortress America.

Now, the acronym Fortress, F-O-R-T-R-E-S-S, it's such a soul government.

We did a whole show on this as well.

But do you remember in April when they said they sent everything to Quantico? Does everybody remember that? Does everybody remember that? The Florida lab in mid-April sent the physical evidence, a critical mixed DNA sample that was originally collected, and they pointed that out.

This isn't new evidence.

They sent it to Quantico.

The Florida lab, quote, transferred the data and samples over to FBI laboratory in Quantico to leverage advanced federal sequencing technology.

Everybody remember that? It's very critical to hear what he says.

They didn't go to Quantico.

They went to the lab that sent away all the information.

My son was born April and I was leaving a brand new baby and mom in June to go away for five months.

You're going to Quantico.

Quantico, Virginia.

Yeah, that's where the Marine barracks are.

It's where the FBI Academy slash DEA Academy are.

Okay, so I don't think most people understand this.

You go for five months, you go to Quantico for training, or this is FBI training, whatever's involved, away from your wife and kid now?

Yes.
