1:30We've been following what's going on in Florida as there's a massive trend there of
1:35people turning away from Donald Trump and MAGA, feeling ultimate betrayal, and seeing these MAGA
1:42extremist politicians not representing their interests, downright attacking them, acting weird, racist, heinous, bizarre.
1:51This is completely embodied in Florida's sixth congressional district where you have a MAGA Republican
1:57congress member there who won the special election after Mike Walls went into the Trump
2:03regime. A MAGA Republican congressman right now has only been there for a short period
2:07of time, but people in Florida do know him, but they definitely don't like what
2:12they're seeing right now as they get to know him even more.
2:15His name is MAGA Republican congress member Randy Fine.
2:18In the past 24 hours in Florida, it should be noted as Florida right now
2:24is about a negative net seven, negative net eight Trump.
2:27I don't think this MAGA Republican guy, Randy Fine, is helping much.
2:32He posted, if they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is
2:40not a difficult one. He says the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a
2:45difficult one. This is, by the way, who Randy Fine is.
2:49I mean, this is a despicable, heinous human being who wakes up in the morning,
2:54goes on social media and starts posting heinous racist posts after heinous racist posts.
3:01Governor Newsom called on him to resign after he made this comment about Muslims' atrocious
3:06words. Randy resigned now. Congress member Ro Khanna posted, we must call this what it
3:11is, disgusting bigotry. And basically everybody condemned him.
3:14But he doubled down. He said, this is just what I say.
3:17This is who I am.
3:18And it is who he is.
3:19Because if you look at other posts that he made, you know, following the murders
3:23of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Preti, Randy Fine posted things like this.
3:28An armed seditionist attacked federal law enforcement today as they were rounding up foreign invaders
3:34in Minneapolis. The insurrectionist was put down.
3:39Well done. I stand with ICE as they fight these foreign invaders and their treasonous
3:46allies. We will not stop until every illegal is deported.
3:51Or posts like this. Today would be a great day to round up and deport
3:55illegals, especially those who liked Bad Bunny's filth.
4:00All of them, no exceptions.
4:02He went on to then repost made up lyrics that actually were not the lyrics
4:08that Bad Bunny sang, but were posted by kind of just right -wing propagandists.
4:13So he posts fake lyrics and then he goes, you can't say the F word
4:18on live TV. Bad Bunny's disgusting halftime show was illegal.
4:23He said these lyrics and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English
4:29on live TV. The broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have
4:34been enormous if it wasn't English.
4:36Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules.
4:39We are sending Brendan Carr FCC a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and
4:45broadcast license reviews against the NFL, NBC, and Bad Bunny.
4:51Lock them up. Nothing says doing your due diligence like posting fake lyrics and then
4:56running to your daddy, Donald Trump's FCC, and saying, please, can you stop Bad Bunny?
5:02Can you please stop Bad Bunny?
5:04I mean, I can show you, this guy does hundreds of posts like this when
5:08he makes TV appearances. I'll just give you.
5:11The kind of gangsterism masquerading as, I don't even know what the hell that spews
5:16from his mouth. Here's what, this is a typical interview with Randy Fine here, play
5:20this clip. These ICE agents, the left believes they can do anything they want and
5:25we're just supposed to sit down and take it.
5:28It's time for Americans to say enough.
5:30And if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're
5:35gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday.
5:38All right, Florida Congressman Randy Fine.
5:40Great to see you this morning.
5:41I wish it was under better circumstances.
5:43Me too. She's also been harassing Renee Nicole Good's family since she was murdered.
5:50I wanna bring in somebody right now who's running against Randy Fine.
5:55Her name is Jennifer Jenkins.
5:57She served on the Brevard County School Board beating a Moms of Liberty candidate in
6:03a district Donald Trump won by double digits.
6:06But Jennifer didn't stop there.
6:08She went on to found Educated We Stand, which is a national organization dedicated to
6:14protecting families across the country from political extremism and public education.
6:19In other words, she took her fight against an extremist candidate and the extremist group
6:24Moms for Liberty, her win, and built the template that we now see in Florida
6:29and across the country of normalcy reclaiming school boards from extremism and people like Randy
6:37Fine who are manifested in this Moms for Liberty group.
6:41So you know how to fight extremism, Jennifer, and you were running for Congress in
6:45Florida's sixth congressional district. You announced about a week ago moving over to this congressional
6:52race. So talk to us about Randy.
6:55Whew, how much time do we have?
6:59Randy Fine is a piece of shit.
7:02I have a very long history, unfortunately, with this man.
7:06And that's exactly why I'm running because these quotes that you've read and these interviews
7:13that you show, these aren't isolated incidents.
7:15It's a pattern of his behavior.
7:17And patterns don't correct themselves.
7:19They just continue to escalate.
7:21Randy Fine sent protesters to my home.
7:24He emboldened people to make false DCF claims against me, to have private investigators follow
7:29me around and make a website saying I was having an affair.
7:32And now that he's on this national level, he has been given permission through silence
7:38to spew hate and radicalism.
7:41And I refuse to give permission for hate to be normalized from a seat in
7:46Congress. Yeah, I'm gonna have to rewind there for a moment because people need to
7:51know this history that exists in Florida between what Randy Fine was doing to you
7:57as you were fighting this battle against Moms for Liberty.
8:01So as I alluded to in my intro, Randy Fine was in the state house
8:05there in Florida for a short period of time.
8:08He served in the state Senate.
8:09And the types of things we're seeing at the national level, his behavior in Florida
8:15was abhorred. This is who he is.
8:16Talk to us though about those incidents where he was harassing you, making up that
8:21you were having affairs, sending private investigators.
8:24How did that all develop?
8:26So when I ran for this seat in 2020, Donald Trump won my district by
8:3117 points. And I ended up unseating the Republican incumbent by almost 10.
8:36And that person went on to become the original founder of Moms for Liberty.
8:41And Randy Fine and his wife both told me that they supported my campaign because
8:46I was pro -masking and COVID mitigation.
8:49And when I made that public, when he suddenly became so anti -COVID and mitigation
8:54strategies, he took it out on me very, very personally.
8:58You know, every single day, there were thousands of posts about sending me to prison,
9:03calling me a whore, calling me a Jezebel.
9:06He literally sent protesters to protest inside of, or in front of my small beachside
9:11home. They made claims that I was abusing my daughter where I had to take
9:15an investigator to her play date to look underneath her clothes to see if I
9:18was burning her body. He encouraged hundreds of protesters to come to the school board
9:22meetings continuously. I had received numerous death threats that quoted his social media platforms as
9:30a reason as to why they were contacting me.
9:32And then most famously, that made national news.
9:35He was offended he wasn't invited to a Special Olympics fundraiser, called me a whore
9:40to multiple elected officials and threatened to take away funding from the Special Olympics and
9:45a water mitigation project from one of our local communities.
9:48He's radically out of control.
9:50He always has been. Unfortunately, he's just never been held accountable.
9:55The state of Florida has found probable cause for multiple ethics violations against him.
10:02And he's never, ever been held accountable.
10:04He was ordered to anger management from a local judge here in Brevard County.
10:09He refused to show up.
10:10Again, has never been held accountable.
10:12And so I felt like it was my duty to ensure not only for Congressional
10:17District 6 to have proper representation, but for the state of Florida to no longer
10:21be embarrassed by this man.
10:22And for people across the nation to have somebody who's bold and strong enough to
10:26stand up against him and finally hold him accountable at the ballot box.
10:29And this, that aspect, his harassment of you in the ways that you described began,
10:35again, because you supported people wearing masks during COVID.
10:39and social distancing and things like that he said to you i support you for
10:45doing that thank you you said that you said well he was someone who supported
10:50what i did and that's what started i mean he's always been this way to
10:54other people but his attack on you was rooted in that that's where that's where
10:59his personalized like everything that he's doing to you starts with you describing what he
11:04had said to you yeah yeah and you know that that is who he is
11:07he is a walking hypocrisy at all times he changes his views and beliefs based
11:12on how he's going to personally benefit and climb the political ladder and you know
11:17i'm an educator married to a teacher in florida to me that was just astonishing
11:22to watch happening before my eyes and so i called him out for it and
11:25i'm going to continue to call him out for all of his hypocrisies yeah i
11:29think the background that you gave is so helpful because we understand more about the
11:33pathology i mean we also saw him there was that video of him kind of
11:36walking around doing the proxy voting when he was in florida and he just let
11:40everything the guy does he looks like he's breaking the like he looks very suspicious
11:45and everything he's doing in my opinion you know that's just trust your gut that's
11:49the way he looks so so going though to you know to this race now
11:53for florida's sixth congressional district i mean just think about the statements he made recently
11:58how are people in the district reacting to him you know saying that that bad
12:03bunny you know needs whatever the stuff he said about bad bunny using fake lyrics
12:08to attack bad bunny and uh going after alex pretty and renee nicole good i
12:15mean you know all calling muslims saying that if it's we have to choose between
12:20dogs and muslims i mean these are just objectively heinous things yeah yeah listen the
12:26people of congressional district six and quite frankly the state of florida are sick and
12:30tired of fabricated outrage uh they're sick and tired of people who have no respect
12:36for other people i mean they want a representative who's going to show up in
12:40their district who's going to do the work and who is continuously treating people with
12:44dignity i mean when you look at randy fine you know this is a battle
12:48not between left and right uh i've had conversations with many people on the right
12:52in this district already who are ecstatic that i'm jumping into this race because it's
12:57about decency versus extremism and i'm running because i feel like congress has forgotten who
13:03they work for and most especially randy fine has forgotten who he works for and
13:07who it's supposed to protect i truly believe that public service should make people feel
13:13safer in their communities not smaller and they should be using their platforms to deliver
13:20to the people not to continuously demean them and the people of congressional district six
13:24are absolutely sick and tired of his nonsense you know and the people of the
13:29six his nonsense also manifests and i think attacks on people of the six whether
13:35it's ripping away their health care higher energy prices um you know higher prices in
13:41general uh and then the gaslighting you know where he goes you know you should
13:46just be grateful and happy that i'm there for you just shut up and he's
13:50an abusive person to the he's an abusive person to to people in his life
13:55in my opinion and he's abusive to the district yeah yeah yeah you know congressional
14:01district six deserves a representative who truly understands what's happening right now in florida i
14:07again i'm an educator i'm married to a middle school teacher in the lowest paid
14:11state in the country i don't know the last time i put a dollar in
14:15my savings account i've had two jobs since i graduated from college i i even
14:19did instacart to deliver groceries to my neighbors to make ends meet i know what
14:24it feels like to stretch my paycheck i know what it feels like to see
14:27the rising costs of groceries and utilities and homeowners insurance eating away at my monthly
14:33budget and congressional district six deserves a leader who works for the people in that
14:39district not for the donors that are funding their campaigns and you know randy fine
14:44lives in a multi -million dollar home on the ocean he has absolutely no idea
14:47what it feels like to live this every single day and so when he looks
14:51at people in the eye and tells them everything is okay we all know that
14:54it's just absolutely not true you know as my brother found out i was doing
14:58this interview right now and he goes wild to have the most horrific person as
15:03your opponent in a congressional race and so i think that's how a lot of
15:07people feel about randy fine so before we go though where can people learn more
15:11about your campaign and what's your final message to our six million subscribers out there
15:16yeah oh please i mean if you are disgusted by what you're seeing in washington
15:21every day randy fine is legitimately the most hateful and vile member of congress currently
15:26that we have and so we need to cut the cancer out when we can
15:29and i truly know that we can do this i've done it before we're going
15:33to do it again so please visit us at jenkins4fl .com contribute if you can
15:38we need all hands on deck and listen randy is shaking in his boots he
15:43is currently calling tallahassee every single day trying to stop them from redistricting the congressional
15:47map because he knows it's going to impact him negatively and he's really really scared
15:51he's going to lose this race that's so fascinating i was going to cut the
15:55interview there but i want to learn i want to know more about that so
15:58he wants to one of the people saying don't do the trump gerrymander that trump
16:04wants to do in florida is randy fine because he were is that dilutes his
16:08district. So he's actually out there pushing against Trump's plan to gerrymander Florida.
16:14Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, Randy doesn't even get along with people in his own
16:18party. DeSantis has said he repels people.
16:21He called him a squish.
16:23That was my favorite one.
16:24And so, you know, he knows that the legislature and the governor are going to
16:28be working against him because they don't support him.
16:31He's not a loyalist in their eyes.
16:33He's far right extreme, but he does it to benefit himself, not the party overall.
16:37And so, yeah, they're absolutely going to take seats.
16:40I'm sorry, numbers from his district in order to ensure seats for other members of
16:43Congress. Jennifer Jenkins running for Florida's 6th congressional district.
