Good evening, and today let's do a bit of a roundup of some of the most important and yet underreported

stories happening across the whole country, starting with a new form of immigration crackdown.

Specifically, I'm talking about the state of Florida announcing that they will be only offering

driver's license tests in the English language, meaning that they are eliminating the option

this change in Florida mirrors the change happening at the federal level. In March of last

year, President Trump, he signed an executive order designating English as the official

language of the United States. And then in the subsequent month, in April, he signed an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States.

And then in the subsequent month in April, he signed another executive order, this one directing
