Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said during an interview over the weekend that he fully supports former President Donald Trump’s purported plan to conduct widespread deportations of illegal aliens should he become president again. Rubio, who is a rumored vice presidential candidate, made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’s “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker. “If re-elected, Donald Trump has said he’s willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military to deport the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country,” she said. “It would be the largest deportation operation in American history. Do you support that plan?” Rubio noted that the 11 million number was low and that the actual number could be as high as 30 million illegal aliens, as nearly 9-10 million have entered the country under President Joe Biden alone. “The answer to your question is yes,” he said. “We cannot absorb 25, 30 million people who entered this country illegally. They’re here illegally. What country on earth would tolerate that? We don’t even know who some of these, most of these people are. They talk about vetting; vetting them with what? They’re coming from nations that don’t even have document systems in many cases. Yes, we are going to have to do something. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to do something dramatic to remove people from this country that are here illegally, especially people we know nothing about. But 10 million, 11 million, that was the number 15 years ago. Today, it’s upwards of probably 25-30 million, maybe more.” When asked about his shift on the issue from several years ago, Rubio said that things have “completely changed” due to how out of control the situation has become since Biden was inaugurated.

People, that I believe, are going to conduct terrorist attacks in this country if given the opportunity. Certainly people that were criminals in their home country. This is a completely different – this is not immigration. You asked me about immigration, this is mass migration. Mass migration. This is an invasion of the country and it needs to be dealt with dramatically. And by the way, I don’t – I’m not a big poll follower, but polls show most Americans agree with us on this.” WATCH: WATCH: In 2016, @SenMarcoRubio (R-Fla.) said Donald Trump’s mass-deportation proposals weren’t “realistic.” @kwelkernbc: “Why have you changed your mind now?” Rubio: “The issue has completely changed. … This is mass migration … and it needs to be dealt with dramatically.” pic.twitter.com/b0BI5KzXXa — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) May 19, 2024

The following is a transcript excerpt from Dr. Jordan Peterson’s conversation with his longtime friend, Rex Murphy in “A Tribute to Newfoundland.” They travelled through Newfoundland for five days as Rex gave a guided tour of the ports and towns of Newfoundland. Jordan describes this experience as having toured “with none other than the man whom anyone with any sense would most devoutly hope for as a guide.” He hopes everyone will enjoy the trip as much as they did. You can watch the documentary on DailyWire+. Start time 00:00; 16:12 Jordan B. Peterson: The past is still truly alive. The past becomes increasingly valuable. You come somewhere here and see these deep roots in this deep particularity; there is a relief in it. It is akin to the relief of looking at a great landscape vista. It is literally and metaphorically revivifying. I have the great privilege and honor to be here in Newfoundland with Mr. Rex Murphy. Rex was a hero of mine, I would say, and of many Canadians. He is one of Canada’s great journalists — one of the most recognized and loved figures in all the country. So we are here in Newfoundland in this great old part of Canada with a unique culture borne of isolation in many ways. Rex has kindly agreed to spend a week showing us around and talking to us about the culture. Rex Murphy: Newfoundlanders think of Newfoundland as a personality. Newfoundland has a distinct personal relationship with Newfoundlanders. It goes deep. Photo credit: Artem Mykhailetskyi. Jordan B. Peterson: One of the things that is really striking about meeting people from Newfoundland is they are often extremely tough and extremely funny. When I reflected on that, even prior to knowing you, I thought, “Well, this was a very, very isolated place.” That meant that people made their own music, and they made their own fun. Then we are all the beneficiaries of that. That is part of what we want to shine a light on while being here. We are inviting you along on the trip.  Rex Murphy: Newfoundland is a persona. It is a presence. There is no place that has so magnetic a hold on the people who have grown up here. The fealty that Newfoundlanders have for their place, it mimics the emotional bond of family. It’s fact. Screenshot: DailyWire+ Jordan B. Peterson: For me, going to Newfoundland, where there is an overwhelming experience of beauty to see the past alive and preserved and so beautifully done, I have been thinking about that. You know that as there are more and more people on the planet and as the weight of the present and the future grows ever greater, the past becomes increasingly valuable, increasingly invaluable. Then there is a revivification that is associated with it. Rex Murphy: The sense of memory in Newfoundland is very strong. Newfoundland is more an emotion than it is a place.  Screenshot: DailyWire+ Jordan B. Peterson: When I look at the past in a place like Newfoundland, and I think, ”This is relevant to the farmers and to the oil and gas industry and all that too,” we need to sift through the past to see what we should be grateful for, which is a tremendous amount. To merely shoulder the sins of the atrocity without conjoining that with a sense of deep appreciation and consideration and an observation of the necessity of all the hard work and struggles of people in the past is — I don’t know what it is — it is ungrateful. It is certainly ungrateful. It is dismissive. It elevates us morally in an extraordinarily shallow way. It presumes that there is something uniquely moral about our time and place, that we have transcended all the ignorance of the past compared to, say, all the people who struggled to live here. And there is something about that. There is an assumption of superiority that is unbelievably dangerous. You know, it is useful to come to terms with the errors of the past and to try to rectify them. But you have to do that with proper appreciation for the moral caliber of the people who came before us. Rex Murphy: Whatever it is about Newfoundland, whatever charisma this province and feeling has, it gets into the Newfoundlanders and it distinguishes them from any other citizens, I think, on the continent.

Kenny Chesney has mourned several heartbreaking personal losses in recent years, and he’s realized the experiences have changed his music. The 56-year-old Grammy winner has lived an entire lifetime during his nearly 30-year career, which means he’s experienced countless ups and downs. But the past few years have been filled with more devastation than he could have expected. “In the last couple of years, there’ve been six people that I was really close to, that I can’t call anymore,” he told CBS Mornings. View this post on Instagram A post shared by CBS Mornings (@cbsmornings) Kenny recorded his newest album, Born, which was a four-year endeavor, while he was processing his grief. After listening to the end product, he realized how much it affected his lyrics. “I’m in a unique spot in my life and in my career because I can’t necessarily sing about the things that I sang about even 10 years ago,” he continued. “I just feel like emotionally and mentally, I’m in a much different place.” Kenny Chesney Is Focused On His Mental And Physical Health One song in particular, Wherever You Are Tonight, covers death and grief. And Kenny admitted that his strong emotional connection to it helped him understand how much the pain had changed him.  “When I heard that song, I went, ‘Whoa, I know you’re in a different place.’ I’m talking to myself, right? ‘I know you are in a much different place cause you really want to record that song,'” he shared.  Over the years, Kenny Chesney has earned a reputation for his light-hearted party-style concerts and songs based on the beach life, which he enjoys at his homes in Key West, Florida, and Malibu, California. And he plans on continuing to give fans that same experience.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kenny Chesney (@kennychesney) However, Kenny has realigned his personal goals. Instead of joining his fans for the party, he’s focused on his mental and physical health through diet and exercise. “If you’re lucky enough as an artist to get to a place in your life where you’re actually competing with yourself, then that’s a pretty good spot to be in,” he added. “You’re pretty lucky.” This story’s featured image is by Terry Wyatt/Getty Images.

Russia, China Weigh In On Nuclear War

A New York City mother filed a federal lawsuit against American Airlines over the 2022 death of her 14-year-old son. The suit alleges that the plane's onboard defibrillator did not function correctly and accuses the flight crew of being unprepared and not being properly trained to use the medical equipment. Melissa Arzu and her son were on American Airlines flight 614 from Honduras to Miami after enjoying a family summer vacation. During the flight, her son suddenly experienced a medical emergency. Her 14-year-old son, Kevin Greenidge, allegedly lost consciousness shortly after takeoff.The lawsuit – filed in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, where American Airlines is headquartered – alleged that the flight crew was "delayed in responding" to Greenidge's medical episode. The lawsuit claims that crewmembers "eventually attempted to use" the plane's automated external defibrillator, but they were "either unable to properly operate the machine or the machine did not function properly."The suit alleges that the crew was not properly trained on how to use the type of AED that was on the flight.The flight made an emergency landing in Cancun, Mexico. Greenidge was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.The New York Post reported that Kevin had been diagnosed with asthma and type 2 diabetes prior to his death, and that his primary cause of death was listed as "myocardial infarction" — commonly known as a heart attack.The lawsuit claims that Greenidge's chances of survival would have "vastly" increased if the flight had a functioning AED that the crew knew how to use."After Kevin died, I never heard from American Airlines," Arzu said. "It made me feel hopeless. I want answers from American Airlines. I want American Airlines to take full responsibility for Kevin’s death. I never want this to happen to a child or family again."American Airlines told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Our thoughts are with Mr. Greenridge’s loved ones. We are going to decline further comment given this matter involves pending litigation."Hannah Crowe, the attorney representing Arzu, said, "The loss of a child is truly unimaginable, and the facts of this case are horrendous. Multiple eyewitnesses confirm that American Airlines flight personnel were slow to respond and not able to operate the AED machine, which appeared not to work."Crowe alleged, "After Kevin died, the equipment went missing. Did someone at American intentionally destroy it? Is it defective, but back out in service? These are all really serious violations of the federal laws that are in place to protect passengers." The lawsuit also claims that American Airlines failed to submit an advance payment of $113,100 for the sudden death of the teen, as per the company’s policy regarding the death of a passenger while on board.Like Blaze News?
