Pete a massive flotilla set
sail along the Jersey Shore in
an effort to show support for
men and women in law enforcement
and our veterans and for many
our president,
were checking back in with the
organizers to see if they broke
the Guinness Book of World
records
joining us from the water, the
parade, organizer and
grand Marshal councilman for a
township in New Jersey.
We had a big turnout, but what
was the turnout?
You can reflect generally on the
big day, but also break down. The
numbers for us
were estimating that we had
over two thousand boats, which is an
unofficial record.
We reached out to Guinness and
we got no response back from
them. But that is good enough
for me.
I will take that
it was a wonderful showing and
was just all around great event
that went off without a one
problem at all
PETE, so George, that would
make you the grand marshal of
the world record breaking
flotilla.
What was it like to see? There
see the outpouring of support at
this moment for law enforcement?
Well, there was a lot of
electricity on the water and it
was just one big parade for
approximately four to five hours
and for four to five hours.
Nobody worried about anything
going on in their personal
lives.
Everyone was happy having a good
ol time on the bay here,
PETE Chris. These have popped
up across the country.
This flotilla was try to break
the record. What happened down in
Florida
looks like you accomplished it.
Maybe they will try to best you
again next year,
right
PETE. What is it about this
moment? Our president, that has
people motivated to find a
creative way to get out there to
demonstrate their report,
its a phenomenon
we found. This is a peaceful
way to get out there to show
support for our boys in blue and
our veterans, and our president
supports them.
It all kind of meshes together.
You know
as one movement that everybody
can get behind and, like I said
you dont necessarily have to be
a trump supporter to come out
here to enjoy the day.
You know well take on that
competition from Texas, Florida
or whomever
its a great competition to be
in, and you know well continue
to do it and try to break
records.
We can tennis it back and forth
PETE. You just might
well see
George. I want to ask you,
because you guys have been very
clear saying this is a parade
for law enforcement for vets in
the military.
It so happens a lot of people.
There also support the president
because of his support,
did you find any political
disagreement?
Did you find Joe Biden flags
anybody out there saying hey im,
a Democrat but im for this?
We saw one Joe Biden flag.
We welcomed him to the parade.
Look. We may disagree
politically.
That is, okay
were here to support the boys
in blue and support our
veterans to have a good time
out here.
The world right now is just it
is at breaking points in terms
of you know. We believe in this.
We believe in that there is a
lot of infighting,
so we believe if we have
everyone come together and Chris
and I have been trying to unite
everyone down here at the Jersey
shore. We think that is more
effective way than arguing on
social media or anywhere else
PETE Chris Molla, George
Williams,
youre, taking the initiative
were trying
PETE, whether anyone recognizes
it or not. Maybe they will.
