Hello Waltz Warriors!

We hope this email finds you and your families healthy and safe. From going undercover in the district to discussing the woke military, here's just some of what Mike has been up to this past week:

In The News

WALTZ ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY

On Thursday, Mike joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News to break a huge story about how West Point is now teaching critical race theory to its Cadets, making them sit through lectures titled “Understanding Whiteness and White Rage.” Mike explained why critical race theory hurts combat effectiveness, saying:

"As a Green Beret, I can’t imagine being in a situation in combat, and I’m ordering a soldier to charge the machine gun, and he now has a seed planted in the back of his mind: Am I sending him because he’s African American? Should I feel guilty because of white privilege? That is absolutely destructive to morale, to unity, to everything that I know from a military…that, by the way, integrated way before the rest of the country in 1948.

Look, Tucker, we’ll deal with all these things as a society, but the military has to stay a very special place, focused on having the best of the best to defeat the nation’s enemies and China, Russia and Iran and others if we have to."

WALTZ ON CHINA

Also on Thursday, Mike joined Fox News to talk about the Biden administration’s conflicting statements on China and the Olympics. He said:

“Antony Blinken agreed with his predecessor, Mike Pompeo, that there is literally a genocide going on right now in China… There is ongoing forced sterilization of Uyghur women, they’re shipped off to concentration camps, ongoing rape, ongoing torture, and there is on going slave labor” under the Chinese Communist Party."

WALTZ ON THE MLB

Earlier in the week on Wednesday, Mike joined Fox & Friends to talk about the MLB’s hypocrisy on moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia while turning a blind eye to China’s human rights abuses, saying:

“Corporations will still make millions on sponsorships, Beijing will still have a global platform.”

WALTZ ON IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

Also on Wednesday, Mike Waltz joined A Starting Point to talk about the U.S. possibly joining an Iran Nuclear Deal. From the clip:

“President Biden was right when he said we should not lift or relieve economic sanctions from Iran… Iran needs to free American hostages and stop killing Americans, services members in Iraq through their proxy militias.”

In the District

It’s been an exciting and eventful past few weeks of Mike traveling around the district. Here are some of the highlights!

Preserving our nation's history, including the history of our veterans is incumbent upon all of us. That's why on Tuesday Mike sat down and interviewed U.S. Army veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, Corporal Richard Birdsail for the Library of Congress Veteran History Project.

Earlier in the week, Mike also visited Redwire Space headquarters in Jacksonville and saw firsthand the incredible technology happening right here in Florida! Redwire is currently putting 3D printers on satellites to build the solar panels, tools, and infrastructure America needs for construction in space - how cool is that?

And in case you missed it, Mike went undercover at Flagler Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill last week, where he saw first hand just how tough this pandemic has been everyone, especially for our small businesses & restaurants. But the biggest takeaway from this episode of Undercover Congressman is clear: Floridians are resilient.
