Jedediah
UFC Fieger, Jorge Vidal, is
hitting the campaign
trail with Donald Trump
Jr in a push to win
over hispanic voters in
Florida,
PETE the fighters
against socialism, bus
tour kicked offed today
in Tampa before ending
in Miami
will Jorge. Last time I saw
you, you were in a fight now
you have a different fight
and I know your family Jorge
immigrated from Cuba.
You have a vested interest in
understanding the impacts of
socialism.
Tell us what motivates you to
get into this fight
thats a very good question.
I believe this Countrys, the
greatest country in the world.
I believe that with I have ounce
of being in me with every
ounce of being in me down to my
soul.
Ive had my fair share of whats
on the other side of this great
country, communism and
socialism
ive been dealing with this,
since I was a kid through my
family already here, sharing
story or my family thats still
stuck in that system of
presentation.
So when I was asked, if I had any
thoughts or words on it, I said
hell. Yeah ive got a lot of
it.
I can speak F for my father. I c
speak for my aunt whos missing
her whos missing her breast
who tried to escape from
Guantanamo Bay and Dynamite blew
her breast off.
I can relate the experiences
that im having to my family
Jedediah Jorge. One of the
challenges with this message is
the younger generations that
seem to have a hot of distance
between them and the reality of
socialism
theyre not as interested in
hearing it.
They dont process it the same
way as the older generations.
How can you reach out to younger
generations in particulalar and
make them aware of whats at
risk?
I think it definitely starts
with school.
We definitely have to start
schooling, our kids at a younger
stage and make sure we get to
them before the other side gets
to them,
but definitely just relating
history to them. You know
history repeats itself.
I tell my kids all the time. My
son is five years old, but he knows
very well
inaudible.
So if I could use my voice to
tell young people, hey
socialism, might sound amazing
from a liberal professor at the
podium, but Nobodys ever lived
that that enjoys that
Nobodys escaping capitalist
countries to go to communist
countries or risking their life
to go to these countries.
Its just a no brainer
associate t body counts, keep
coming so its a no brainer
that socialism communist is not
for America.
Pete Jorge great message,
Joe Biden says: im, not a
socialist. I beat a socialist
just different priorities.
What do you say? How do you
articulate the reason why youve
seen the Democrat Party actually
be captured by socialism?
What do youou see?
Well one of the things I see
immediately, whether they call
themselves socialists or not, is
this is the greatest country not
because we have the best fast
food, but because we have the
greatest literature which is
the constitution,
and when people are trying to
mess with the constitution, our
amendment, I immediately hit the
panic button and get in defense
mode and theyre preparing for
something much much worse. When
theres certain things theyre
trying to do with H the laws wi
the filibuster with packing the
courts
weve seen this happen to other
societies that were not
socialist or communist, get
broken down and turned into
will hover. I hay weve got to
run ive, been a big sports
fans, ive seen you talk trash
and do other things, youre,
incredibly educated and sharing
a massively important personal
experience.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. My brother
have a good day.
