He’s setting up the mic at the beginning. He’s the A/V guy and security, I’d guess.

The living memory of those who experienced great loss due to the Nazis may be dwindling in numbers but they make up for it in power and conviction. An important reminder of DeSantis’ true historical compatriots.

Pravin Lal:
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth’s final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.
Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
A quote from Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
