Crisis and threat from china biden and the democrats have failed you. They know it and you know it and it's time for a change tonight. Let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless american idea that government exists not to rule the people but to serve the people. Democrats want to rule us with more government control. But that's not who we are. America is the greatest country in the world has ever known because we're the freest country the world has ever known with the people who are strong and resilient. five months ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It was a hard time for our family, particularly our kids, scarlet huck and George. But we kept our faith and persevered thanks to exceptional doctors here in Arkansas a successful surgery and the grace of God. I am cancer free through it all. I couldn't help but think about my mom. She was 20 years old and into her first year of marriage when she was diagnosed with spinal cancer. The doctors told her she might not live and if she did live, they said she'd never walk again and if she did walk, she definitely never have Children. The daughter, she was told she'd never have was just sworn in as the new governor of Arkansas and is speaking to you tonight. Adversity and fear of the unknown can paralyze us. But faith propels us to charge boldly ahead. We can't stand still in the face of great challenges you and I were put on this earth for such a time as this to charge boldly ahead. I'll be the first to admit president Biden and I don't have a lot in common. I'm for freedom. He's for government control at 40. I'm the youngest governor in the country and at 80 he's the oldest president in American history. I'm the first woman to lead my state and he's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what a woman is in the radical left. America Washington taxes you and lights your hard earned money on fire but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves and our Children are taught to hate one another on account of their race, but not to love one another or our great country. Whether joe biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist it. His administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left. The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy. It's time for a new generation of republican leadership. Upon taking office just a few weeks ago, I signed executive orders to ban CRT racism and indoctrination in our schools, eliminate the use of derogatory term latin X in our government repealed covid orders and said never again to authoritarian mandates and shutdowns. Americans want common sense from their leaders. But in Washington, the biden administration is doubling down on crazy. President biden inherited the fastest economic recovery on record, The most secure border in history, cheap, abundant, homegrown energy. Fast rising wages, a rebuilt military and a world that was stable and at peace. But over the last two years democrats destroyed it all. Despite democrats, trillions in reckless spending and mountains of debt. We now have the worst border crisis in american history. As a mom. My heart breaks for every parent who has lost a son or daughter to addiction. 100,000 Americans a year are now killed from drug overdoses largely from fentaNYL pouring across our southern border. Yet the biden administration refuses to secure the border and save american lives. And after years of democrat attacks on law enforcement and calls to defund the police, violent criminals roam free while law abiding families live in fear beyond our border. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, from north Korea to Iran. President biden's weakness puts our nation and the world at risk and the president's refusal to stand up to china. Our most formidable adversary is dangerous and unacceptable. President biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies and defend our people. He is simply unfit to serve as commander in chief. And while you reap the consequences of their failures, the biden administration seems more interested in woke fantasies than the hard reality americans face every day. Most americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace. But we are under attack in a left wing culture war. We didn't start and never wanted to fight every day. We are told we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols all while big government collude with big tech to strip away the most american thing. There is your freedom of speech. That's not normal. It's crazy and it's wrong. Make no mistake. Republicans will not surrender this fight. We will lead with courage and do what's right, not what's politically correct or convenient. Republicans believe in an America where strong families thrive in safe communities, where jobs are abundant and paychecks are rising, where the freedom our veterans shed their blood to defend is the birthright of every man, woman and child. These are the principles republican governors are fighting for and in Washington under the leadership of Senate republicans and Speaker kevin McCarthy. We will hold the biden administration accountable down the street from where I sit is my almond water. Little rock Central high as a student there, I will never forget watching my dad, Governor mike Huckabee and President Bill Clinton hold the doors open to the little rock nine doors that 40 years earlier had been closed to them because they were black today. Those Children once barred from the schoolhouse are now heroes memorialized in bronze at our State house. I'm proud of the progress our country has made and I believe giving every child access to a quality education regardless of their race or income, is the civil rights issue of our day. Tomorrow I will unveil an education package that will be the most far reaching bold conservative education reform in the country, My plan empowers parents with real choices, improves literacy and career readiness and helps put a good teacher in every classroom by increasing their starting salary from one of the lowest to one of the highest in the nation. Here in Arkansas and across America, republicans are working to end the policy of trapping kids in failing schools and sentencing them to a lifetime of poverty. We will educate, not indoctrinate our kids and put students on a path to success. It's time for a new generation to lead. This is our moment. This is our opportunity. A new generation born in the waning decades of the last century shaped by economic booms and stock market busts forged by the triumph of the Cold War and the tragedy of 9 11. A generation brimming with passion and new ideas to solve age old problems a generation more to our deepest values and oldest traditions yet unafraid to challenge the present order and find a better way forward. If we seize this moment together, America can once again be the land of the free and the home of the brave. During my 2.5 years at the White House, I traveled on every foreign trip with the president. A trip I will never forget was on December 25 of 2018, my husband brian and I had just cleaned up wrapping paper that was shoved into every corner of our house. Thanks to our three kids when I had to walk out on my own family's christmas unable to tell them where I was going that night because the place I'd be traveling was so dangerous. They didn't want anybody to know that the President was going to be on the ground Even for a few hours We boarded Air Force one in complete and total darkness. There were no lights on the plane, no lights on the runway. Our phones and computers shut down and turned in. We were going completely off the grid. Nearly 12 hours later in the pitch black of night we landed in the war torn part of Western Iraq. It was again a similar scene. No lights on the plane. The lights on the runway. The only thing you could see was coming from about a mile away in a dining hall where hundreds of troops who were in the fight against ISIS had gathered expecting to celebrate christmas with senior military leadership from around the region. They had absolutely no idea that the President and first lady were about to walk into that room and when they did it was a sight and a scene and a sound. I hope I never forget the room erupted. Men and women from every race, religion and region, every political party, every demographic you can imagine started chanting in perfect unison over and over and over again. Usa USA USa. It was an absolutely perfect picture of what makes our country great. One of the young soldiers yelled from the back. Mr. President. I? Re enlisted in the military because of you and the president said and son, I'm here because of you. Shortly after that young soldier came up to me he said, Sarah, you have a tough job. I told him what I do is nothing. You take bombs and bullets. That's a tough job. And in a moment that I know I'll cherish for the rest of my life. That soldier reached up and he pulled the brave rifles patch he wore on his shoulder and he placed it into my hand. A sign of ultimate respect and he said Sarah, we are in this together, overwhelmed with emotion and speechless. I just hugged him with tears in my eyes and a grateful heart for our heroes who keep us free. That young man and everyone who has served before him. All of those who serve alongside him and the thousands, we know who will be called upon to serve after him deserve to know they have a country in a community back home. Doing our part in the fight for freedom. America is great because we are free. But today our freedom is under attack and the America we love is in danger. President biden and the democrats have failed you and it's time for a change. A new generation of republican leaders are stepping up not to be caretakers of the status quo, but to be change makers. For the american people. We know not what the future holds, but we know who holds the future in his hands. And with God as our witness, we will show the world that America is still the place where freedom reigns and liberty will never die. Thank you. God bless you and God bless America.

Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione. Here we continue to track some showers and storms as we head through the rest of this weekend. Yes, we have seen some dry time across the area. But I think as we go into our Sunday, even Monday, we're going to watch that potential for some off and on showers and storms. So I want to walk through futurecast with you. Let's talk about here as we go into tonight against some moffet on coverage. If you're headed out and about, you may want to bring the umbrella with you. We go into the early part of our Sunday morning. I'm gonna pause this here as we head, let's say, closer to church services. If you're out for breakfast tomorrow morning, it should be pretty light from the triangle to the east. But you notice around Sanford, Fayetteville, it may start to fill in a little bit more as we go through the morning. I would plan on at least the possibility of some rainfall to start our day and even lunchtime, we're looking a little bit wet and then this all starts to wind down at least this batch of it into tomorrow. Afternoon and evening. Sunday night itself is looking pretty calm. We go into our Monday and especially Monday afternoon, we're going to do it all over again, potentially a little bit wetter with some showers and storms to start the upcoming week. Here's a look at how things shape up into the day tomorrow. We may need to tweak those percentages a little bit, but 40 to 50 early on, we go to 60% during the afternoon. Like I said, I don't want you to get caught off guard tomorrow if you're out and about going to the grocery or something like that. I still would plan on the potential for some rain over the next seven days. Check out these totals. We're looking at around two inches there around the triangle, an inch and three quarters. Roxboro Southern Pines an inch and a half. This is really going to be kind of a summery stretch of unsettled weather for us where temperatures go from our normal of 77 tomorrow up to 92 on Wednesday. But along with that because of the heat because of some humidity, we're going to watch multiple rain chances you can see it there in the percentages at the bottom. It looks like our drier day though, comes in for Wednesday. There's still gonna be a chance of a stray shower or storm. But for the most part, no day is totally dry where I can say. Yep, that looks perfect to get outside all day long. I think Wednesday though, for the most part looks decent 77 tomorrow, 82 on Monday, scattered showers and storms also likely Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, we could see some and then again into Friday, even Thursday night, Friday, we could see some more rain. So looking a bit unsettled, we could use this rainfall though. So on the whole, I know it may be inconvenient but we really need some rain across the area.
