Speaker 1: What's up, team, everybody, Welcome to the show. Today, we

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: have an incredible guest, a man that has decided to

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: take on the system at the highest level by running

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: for Lieutenant governor of Georgia. He's been in the house

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: there since twenty eighteen, nineteen and really is the man

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: that's leading the charge and waking Georgians up about election fraud.

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Mister Greg Dolzar, David, welcome to Yeah, welcome to the show,

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: my friend. Yeah, thanks for coming on. Man. When Tudor

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: reached out to us and was saying you were interested

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: in coming on and talking about this, Jordi and I

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: were like high five and finally a politician that's reaching

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: out to us who wants to get involved in this,

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: and we were pretty we're pretty excited to hear hear

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: your thoughts on all this. All right, you know, obviously

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: we can jump right in your your speech on the

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: floor talking about Fanny Willis and how it started the

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: day after Trump, you know, her coordinated coordination with the

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Biden White House and Jack Smith started the day after

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Trump announced he was running in twenty two. You know,

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: that thing went viral all over the place, and for me,

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: it was this overwhelming sense, like, oh, now, actual people

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: that are in seats of power are pushing back on

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: the reality that the elections were fraudulent. And but before

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: we get into that, just tell us how do you

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: go from being tour manager one of the biggest Christian

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: artists to growing up on a farm, you know, being involved,

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: you know, with your church and really just seemingly having

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: the ideal life and supporting your obviously your true mission,

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: which is to support Christ you know, and then all

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now it's like, oh, I think I'm

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: going to get into Georgia politics, Like how does that happen? Man? Man?

32
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: We were called to it, and that's that's the only

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: thing I can tell you. It was a wild journey,

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: you know, in my twenties and in my thirties I did.

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: I spent a decade on the road with Chris Tomlin

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: and it was the honor of a lifetime man. He

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: his career started obviously very minimally, just leading worship at churches.

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: I kind of came in when he started doing his

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 2: first tour and then everything exploded in an amazing way.

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: And so I had the opportunity to go around the

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: world with Chris Wow, did you know ten years of

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 2: touring together and I'm actually going to go help them

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: with this Good Friday event this year in Nashville is

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: something he's done every year for a decade now. So

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: I'm still like the old guy who they bring in

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: on these big events where they want to, you know,

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: get stuff done, stuff right.

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: You're the og right man, Like nobody understands the technicalities

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: involved in being a tour manager and helping orchestrate those logistics, which,

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: in my opinion, you know, logistics in the military are

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: the essence of how militaries function, Logistics and businesses, you know,

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: but in particular as it comes to entertainment, there's so

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: much that a hind being able to bring a message

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: out in a powerful way to the masses. And man,

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: just kudos Anya forgetting behind that and what you learned.

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: But you know, give me one story from being on

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: road in those ten years where you saw vividly saw

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: the work what he was doing in the audience or

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: in a group of people or a particular person that

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: you're like, I know, I'm supposed to be where God

61
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: wants me.

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: Man, it's so hard to pick one moment.

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: I would say that a couple of times that we

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: went to Australia were really just powerful moments. We had

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: followed these guys that were, you know, kind of pioneers

66
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: in the worship space over there called Hillsong, and to

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: kind of step into their stream of what they were

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: doing and see what was happening over there was was amazing.

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: But you know, for me, going through South America saw

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: Pollo was amazingly. Brazilian people are amazing and to see

71
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: them worship was just a kind of next level. And

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: then to go into some of the cultures where we

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: kind of had to go in under the radar was

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 2: you know, was interesting as well, where you know Christianity,

75
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Christians are a minority, often persecuted people groups, and so

76
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: that was you know, that was something that was that

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: really crystallized for me how lucky I have it here

78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: in America and something that just growing up to me

79
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: I took for granted and didn't you know ever kind

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: of stop and say, man, this is amazing. I get

81
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: to go to church on Sunday and I realize even

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: that even that is a luxury. And so you know,

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: when we transitioned out basically what happened, man, was my

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: wife and I.

85
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: Started having kids.

86
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: We've got four kids, and Chris is like, I want

87
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: you to do this for ten more years. I've got

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: ten more years than me. Will you do it for

89
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: ten more years? And ironically this is ten years for

90
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: him past that point. But I'm just like, this is

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: a young man's game. I'm in my thirties and I

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: need to go home and you know, raise my family.

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: And so transitioned away from that and just began to

94
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: pray and think about what would be next. And I

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: own a software development company that my partners and I

96
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: started twenty years ago, and so that was kind of

97
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: growing this whole time as well. So we had a

98
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: lot of moving pieces in life. But I had my

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: state senator decided to run for governor, and we talked

100
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: about it, we prayed about it, we got in the race,

101
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 2: and we just went out. I went out and knocked

102
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: on ten thousand doors. Wow, my community. And that's not

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: like pay the interns to go knock on doors that way, Well.

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. You gotta do it.

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: My knuckles hitting the door, and what's crazy?

106
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: David is like, to this day, eight nine years later,

107
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: people will still say, man, I remember that time you

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: knocked on my door. And so for all of the

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: guys looking to get a start in politics, to all

110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: the ladies that think that this might be for them

111
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: as well, you got to you got to put shoe

112
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: leather on the ground and go work it.

113
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Well, what's the I mean, one of the most famous

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: stories of all of that type of thing is, you know,

115
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Jack Kennedy going to the most you know, the prey,

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, the impoverished areas of West Virginia, you know

117
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: all these different places which were entrenched in conservative Republican views, right,

118
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: and he just preached his case to him like, Hey,

119
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: this is who I am, this is what I'm doing.

120
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: And and I think that translates always translates into victory, right,

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: because when you're face to face with somebody, you know,

122
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: people's BS meter can be paying pretty quick, and and

123
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: and people that are are eking out a living every day,

124
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: trying to pay their bills, trying to take care of

125
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: their kids and their family. When they look you in

126
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: the face, they know whether or not you're you know,

127
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: full of it, or or you're being genuine. So, man,

128
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Kudo's anya for getting out there and doing that, did that,

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: did that reinforce the desire because obviously there might there

130
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: must have been some type of trepidation about wanting to

131
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: be a politician. I mean obviously even even in even

132
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: in localized, you know, state congressional, it's still there's still

133
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: a pretty significant game being played, right at all levels

134
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: both sides. Yeah, did that like drive you more towards

135
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: it or or what was the what was the process

136
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: that that? Uh? What is it? It's the you're looking

137
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: for the enlightenment, right, the thing that kind of like

138
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: when you're when you're when you get born again, right

139
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: when you get saved, it's like, oh, now, this is

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do. Did you have that each

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: time each door you knocked on?

142
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: I will tell you that for me, as an introvert,

143
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: getting out every single day and going knocking on doors

144
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: was it was a spiritual discipline because but for just

145
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: really having to kind of both talk myself into it

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: and pray myself through it.

147
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: It was not what I was comfortable doing.

148
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: But the amazing thing was I would go home almost

149
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: every day and there would have been one conversation that

150
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: was just like, oh, that's why I'm doing this. I

151
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: remember one in particular, I walk up this driveway and

152
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: there's a lady standing in her driveway.

153
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: I start talking to this older lady.

154
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: I look over her shoulder and she's got a veteran's

155
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: license plate on her car in her garage. And I said, oh,

156
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: mam Amory, you a veteran and she said, no, my

157
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: husband is what you'd like to meet?

158
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Him?

159
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: Said yeah, sure.

160
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: Well, she brings me in the house and introduces me

161
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: to her disabled and blind husband. And the house is

162
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: pretty disheveled. There's kind of stuff everywhere. She's doing everything

163
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: she can to take care of her husband and you know,

164
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: take care of herself. And I end up sitting with

165
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: that couple for about an hour and a half and

166
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: having the most amazing conversation. And I remember I went home.

167
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: I told my wife, I said, we're going to lose

168
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: this election. She said, what do you mean. I said,

169
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: the whole reason I was in this race was to

170
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: have this conversation that I had today with this couple,

171
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: and just to be able to spend time with them

172
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: because they were They told me nobody had been inside

173
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: their house for a couple of years. They didn't have

174
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: family in the area. They were just lonely, and I

175
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: get emotionally been thinking about it right now because it

176
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: was it was this moment where I'm like, all right,

177
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: this is why I'm doing it, And even though I

178
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: went on to win, it's still why I'm doing it,

179
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: because those are the people that don't have the voice

180
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: of the capitol right so down here, man, they're a

181
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: lobbyists all over this place. There are special interests down here.

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: There's backslaping politicians who kind of love the game and

183
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: love the scene. And I really don't get involved in

184
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: that because I just I think about those people back home,

185
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: and it's like, that's my compelling why. You know, a

186
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: lot of people point to their kids as their why,

187
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of that for me as well,

188
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: certainly thinking about the next generation, but I also think

189
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: about that older man, that veteran who fought and served

190
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: as country and he's handed the baton off to my

191
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: generation now, and the question becomes, what are we going

192
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: to do about it?

193
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: One hundred percent? So I imagine when you get in

194
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: there's a pretty steep learning curve for sure the first

195
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: couple of years. But for you, man, that learning curve

196
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: seems like it was like it was it was. It

197
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: was interstellar, right, because you all of a sudden, immediately

198
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: you're faced with the twenty twenty elections. I know a

199
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: lot of the country obviously as a result of J six, right,

200
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: there was enough to drive that movement up into d C.

201
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Did you feel the sensation that something was off? Did

202
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: you get an e you know? Did you have that

203
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: or where were you when it went down?

204
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: So I was the first elected official in the state

205
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: of Georgia to hold a press conference after the twenty

206
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: twenty election, and a couple of my senator friends came

207
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 2: with me and we were a group and leadership told

208
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: us not to go. We were instructed by our President

209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: pro tem there was a bad idea to say anything

210
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: about the election. And I'm a freshman at this time,

211
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: this is my very first term, and they're like, all right,

212
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: Nola's all you go speak for us. So I did,

213
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: and I walked up to the microphone and called for

214
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: an audit of the election, called for a number of

215
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: steps that should be taken with an eye towards even

216
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: the January runoff election that ultimately were the elections that

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: installed Raphael Warnock and John Ausoff. And at that point

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: in time man the fire came. Leadership was angry. The

219
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: lieutenant governor at the time walked into a meeting with

220
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: all of us and chastised us. A number of my

221
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: friends who that were in senior positions in the state

222
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: Senate were stripped of their committees, which is kind of

223
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: the conduit of influence and power in any legislature. So

224
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: we like to joke that one of the guys, actually

225
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: Bert Jaans, went on to become a lieutenant governor. And

226
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 2: we joke now that when we'd walk down the hall man,

227
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: we would clear the We'd clear the hallway because nobody

228
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: wanted to be seen talking to it because they were

229
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: afraid their buildings. My builds are going to get killed

230
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: if I'm seen talking to you know, dolaz alar Beach

231
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: or Jones. I'm you know, I'm going to be you know,

232
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to be screwed in the legislative process. And

233
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: so we were, we were outcasts, but that was with

234
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: the political class. But I've always kind of been an

235
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: outcast with the political class. The very first GOP meeting

236
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: that I went to after the twenty twenty election in

237
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: my home county that I represent, the GOP meets in

238
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: this little retail store and usually there's fifty people that

239
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: show up. They had to meet in the parking lot

240
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: and it's one of these two story retail building kind

241
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: of deals, and people had to go up to the balcony,

242
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: were hanging off the balcony because about five hundred people

243
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: showed up that day, Oh my gosh, And it was

244
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: the most energized I've seen our base. People recognized that

245
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: something was taken from them, and they were angry and

246
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: they were looking for fighters. And so that really galvanized

247
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: the things I would go on to do, which was

248
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: to be one of the first four elected officials in

249
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: the state to call for a special session of the

250
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: General Assembly, because David, you've got to remember what was

251
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: going on. This is COVID, and we were under an

252
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: emergency order. In the emergency order, which the legislature essentially

253
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: cedes all of their power to the executive branch. In

254
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,239
Speaker 2: the executive branch in the case of elections, is Brad Raffinsburg,

255
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: our secretary of State. Well, he took that executive power

256
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: and he invented election law. He put drop boxes everywhere.

257
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: Drop boxes were nowhere envisioned in the statute in Georgia code.

258
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: He sent six point three million absentee ballot request forms

259
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: to every registered voter and put a first class stamp

260
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: on it. And the first class stamp is significant because

261
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: if you file a national change of address form, So

262
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: if you moved to Louisiana and you say, all right,

263
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: Post Office, here's my national change of address form, forward

264
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: all in my first class mail to Louisiana. Well, we

265
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: know that in Fulton County alone, thirty nine thousand people

266
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: had their mail forwarded to a different state or a

267
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: different county. And Raffisberger sent all those people absentee ballot

268
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: request forms, and tens of thousands of them voted, and

269
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: in many cases they voted illegally.

270
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: And the key for all the audience who's listening right now,

271
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: you have to realize that Georgia was won by eleven

272
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: thousand votes. Like that's the kicker, right. It was in

273
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: the smallest margin in the country by far. I mean,

274
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. So I can only imagine, you know

275
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: you're witnessing all this, when did it become solidified in

276
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: your mind that you saw whatever conclusive evidence. I mean,

277
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: I know Garland Favorrito immediately started doing the research. We

278
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: had him on after the FBI raid on the the

279
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: where the warehouse where the all the ballots were still

280
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: or sees, and we you know, his timeline is really clear.

281
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: What point did you see a piece of evidence that

282
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: really gave you the conviction?

283
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: When I signed my own absentee ballot request form with

284
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: a signature that no way, shape or form matched my

285
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: actual signature. So other words, I tested the system and

286
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: I got my ballot. That's when I knew that that

287
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: the signature match was not happening because in my county,

288
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: my county's are Red County, my county runs elections. Well,

289
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: so I'm like, if this is happening in my county Fulton,

290
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: de cab Cobb, you know these other larger metro counties

291
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: certainly have to be a disaster. And so then I

292
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: had friends, yeah, who had their kids signed their absentee

293
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: ballot request form and next thing you know, the ballot

294
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: comes in. I had people botch their signatures in multiple counties, Cherokee, Gwinett.

295
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: They all tested the system, and David in every single case,

296
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: all of us got our ballots back. And that was

297
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: in the runoff election and That's when I knew that

298
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: the system was broken, and that's when we we had

299
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: already called for the special session by that point in time,

300
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: but that's when we really doubled down on trying to

301
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: get it trying to get it done.

302
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: Awesome. I thank you for describing that, because I think

303
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: that's the real kicker for a lot of people that

304
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: they're going through that process now, right, because you know,

305
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,479
Speaker 1: the I think starting with COVID, the ability to manipulate

306
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: information in the flow of information was at an all

307
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: time high. We saw that with the Twitter files. We

308
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: saw it. I mean, I got locked out of social media,

309
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: you know. And and I wasn't even political back then, man,

310
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: I didn't. I was a motivational guy, and you know,

311
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: and I got shut down because I had, you know,

312
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: during the BLM riots. I'm trying to be like everybody,

313
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: calm down, man, Let's just let's see what the facts

314
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: are and then we can argue the facts. And for me,

315
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: it was you know, the twenty nineteen FBI statistics saying

316
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: that only what it was like nineteen or twenty some

317
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: odd unarmed black men had been shot by white police officers, right,

318
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: And I put that on Facebook and it turned into

319
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: a five thousand comment argument, you know, and I'm like,

320
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on? And you could just see

321
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: the coordination of the information and how it attacked people

322
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: who brought those questions up in any case, and we

323
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: saw it, I think most egregiously with the January sixth

324
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: and what took place when you have you know, Grandma's

325
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: who you know, were waved into the capital and you know,

326
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: never went outside the you know, the ropes and the rotunda,

327
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: and they're doing hard time and solitary confinement, you know,

328
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: with the eighteen hundred people they rounded up. I was like,

329
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: all right, that's the deal. And now they're painting us

330
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: as domestic terrorists and I was like, okay, this is

331
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: bigger than anything I've ever seen. And man, I worked

332
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: for the CIA, so I've seen some crazy shit it right,

333
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: So the reality is now, you know, so when what

334
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: happened next? Did you start working with any outside experts?

335
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: When it because I've seen you, you know, you've had

336
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: one bill passed and that was Senate Bill one eight nine.

337
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: Maybe you could tell us the story of how the

338
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: coordination effort to get to start to get towards legislation

339
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: and then just let's go into some of the bills

340
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: you've put forward, because man, these are significant and they

341
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: really mimic what I think we're trying to get done

342
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: at a federal level as well too, which is really cool.

343
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe if you could give that narrative for us.

344
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I can't really accurately describe, and it's

345
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: impossible for me to even overstate the amount of pressure

346
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: that we were under in Georgia after the twenty twenty election.

347
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: And I had the same conversation with my constituents basically

348
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: from eight o'clock in the morning till six o'clock at night,

349
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: for days and days and days and weeks on end.

350
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: And so I went back that next session with a

351
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: very very clear mandate in my mind, and that mandate

352
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: was unlike any mandate I have had since I've been elected,

353
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: and that was to fix the election system. And so

354
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: we passed a number of omnibus bills out of the Senate,

355
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 2: and some of them were more comprehensive than even what

356
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: ultimately passed, which was Senate Bill two oh two, the

357
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: very first bill that we voted on, frankly, did what

358
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: we should have done, and we should have had the

359
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: backbone to push it all the way through to the

360
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: finish line, which was to get rid of no excuse

361
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 2: absentee voting, and because the mail in voting and ultimately

362
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: the I should say, we voted to get rid of

363
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: all of the mail in voting and the no excuse

364
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: absentee voting is a separate piece. But the mail in

365
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: voting is where the bulk of your fraud happens. It's

366
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: a lot harder to commit election fraud if you have

367
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: to walk into a polling place and show your ID.

368
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: It's possible, but it's.

369
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: Certainly it limits your attack vectors for sure of what

370
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 2: you can the system can handle. So we passed that

371
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: bill to the House, never got out of the House,

372
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: but we ultimately passed sen It Bill two O two,

373
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: which which is what Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams called

374
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: Jim Crow two point zero.

375
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: I remember that it was unbelievable. Meanwhile, this is the

376
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: same person in terms of Stacy saying that her last

377
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: election was completely fraudulent, and it's just it's it's mind

378
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: boggling to see the narratives. Right, Well, they always clean.

379
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett this week cleaned in the election. I'm waiting

380
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: for Dan Crenshaw to say the same thing, you know,

381
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: So anyways, go ahead.

382
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we passed a number of provisions. So for example,

383
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: I told you that I was signing my signature to

384
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: get my absentee ballot. You no longer do that in George.

385
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: You have to provide photo identification. So we moved the

386
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: needle significantly on some key election security measures. But I

387
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: will have a bill on the floor of the Senate

388
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: tomorrow actually to move us to a hand to mark

389
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: paper ballot voting system. And this is the fourth bill

390
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: of that kind that I have co sponsored, and this

391
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: is the first one that I've drafted myself, and this

392
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: one that I've drafted myself along with Garland. Had to

393
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: input on this bill, and a number of people that

394
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: have really dug into the details of this have helped

395
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: me put this together. When I say I wrote it myself,

396
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: what I mean is I'm the top number one sponsor, right,

397
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: And so I've got that bill out of committee. It

398
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: will go to the floor of the Senate tomorrow and

399
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: then hopefully get us off of the dominion voting machines

400
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: by the November election. Because we actually we passed a

401
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: bill you mentioned, Senate Bill one eighty nine. We passed

402
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: it two years ago, which essentially says that we're no

403
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: longer going to vote by QR code. Right, So, right now,

404
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: what happens for those of your listeners that are not

405
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: in Georgia. We go to a touch screen, we vote

406
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: our ballot, We get a printed ballot that then gets scanned.

407
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: But what gets scanned is a QR code, not the

408
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: actual optical characters that are that are visible on the ballot. Right,

409
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: So if I vote for Donald Trump and it says

410
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump at the bottom, the machine doesn't scan the bottom,

411
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: it scans this QR code. Well, in twenty twenty two, Scissor,

412
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: which is the Cyber Intelligence Security Administration Division, which is

413
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: which sits under the Department of Homeland Security at the

414
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: federal level, they identified nine known vulnerabilities in the Dominion

415
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: software version five point five A right, and they spell

416
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 2: out what all nine of these vulnerabilities are, some of

417
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: which will allow the flipping of votes in the QR code.

418
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: That's right.

419
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: That now, not only is that vulnerability there, but David,

420
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 2: think about this. Now that vulnerability is numbered on the

421
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: internet for every bad actor to have access to and

422
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: we're still using the same software version. The very first

423
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: recommendation that Sissa gives in that report is to contact

424
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 2: Dominion voting systems about a patch or a software update.

425
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: And we're running five point five A.

426
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: They had released five point five C, five point five D,

427
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: five point seventeen. They're now on five point twenty and

428
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: George's using five point five A.

429
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: And the reason why I've been told that they keep

430
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, they're at this insanely so that all of

431
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: the data specialists. I interviewed this guy from Colorado who

432
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: was just off the chart. He was a former military analyst,

433
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, like in the numbers type of the guy,

434
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: a logistics guy, and he was saying, you know that

435
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: they're in this race to just keep updating the operating

436
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: system so that the people who are monitoring they can

437
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: continue to cover their tracks, you know, as fast as

438
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: they can. Like you know, it's like one of those

439
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: adaptive encryption systems that as soon as the hit hits it,

440
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: it adapts and fixes that hole, right, And those are

441
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: probes into the feasibility of it being hacked or uploaded

442
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: or outsource or whatever you know that's going on with them.

443
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: That's that's increading. What is the response, What is the

444
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: where are you pushback on the attacks? Not the you know,

445
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: you could call them attacks on the voting, the electronic

446
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: voting systems. I think everybody gets the ballots were a

447
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: derivative of COVID, right, and so people are going to

448
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: be forced to go back to the ballots. I think

449
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: people are going to hold on with tooth and nail

450
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: for the hand ballots till they die. That's the hill

451
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: they're going to die on. But it's certainly the unbelievably

452
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: unrestrained absentee and then the drop boxes. That's an easy one.

453
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: But the other stuff is the election stuff. And that's

454
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: the place where I see politicians on both sides really

455
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of you know, toe in the line. Because when

456
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: you look at the cases brought against what Fox that

457
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: they settled seven hundred and forty billion, You look at Juliani's,

458
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: you look at Mike Lindell, it'say man. They had, they

459
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: had Mark Lias and the crew man. They had the

460
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: funding to go after people in ways that even if

461
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: they didn't win, they were going to decapitate them financially. Yeah.

462
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: I mean one other thing that I did here in

463
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: the state Senate was I formed the Senate Special Committee

464
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 2: on Investigations by resolution. So after Willis indicted President Trump

465
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: in the eighteen others, everybody's like, what do we do?

466
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: What do we do? And kind of the prevailing.

467
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: Wisdom down here as well, just let it work its

468
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: way through the court system.

469
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's not good enough for me. That's not

470
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: good enough for me.

471
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: So I began to work with our lawyers down here

472
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: and just kind of investigate what could be done. And

473
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: the Georgia Constitution actually gives the same authority to investigate

474
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: the affairs of the state to the legislature as it

475
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: does the attorney general. Oh wow, And our attorney general

476
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 2: was not doing anything, And so I wrote a resolution

477
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: that said, we're going to form a committee. We're going

478
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: to give it subpoena power, We're going to give it

479
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 2: the ability to swear witnesses in under oath, which at

480
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: our state level is not something that we ever do.

481
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: And we did, and we fought, we fought Fannie Willis

482
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: in court for a year and a half. Finally got

483
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: her to come up peer on December seventeenth of last year.

484
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: And what we discovered in that hearing was shocking. We

485
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: discovered the coordination with the jan sixth Committee. We discovered

486
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: the coordination with the White House, but she of course

487
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: doesn't remember anything. And Nathan Wade, who was her paramore,

488
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: who was conducting all of the work for her, in

489
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: his congressional testimony, he also said, yeah, I know I

490
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: build for conversations with the jan sixth Committee, but I

491
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: don't remember who I met with or on the eight

492
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 2: hour meeting. I have no idea who was there, and

493
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: I don't know what we talked about. I know the

494
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: same day that Jack Smith was appointed by the White

495
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: House that I was on a phone call with the

496
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: White House for eight hours, but I have no idea

497
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: who I was on the phone with, and I don't

498
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 2: know what we talked about. That's the same day, by

499
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: the way, that Michael Colangelo left as the number three

500
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: guy at DJ and went down there and went to

501
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: New York to help Alvin Bragg.

502
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: So that was the piece for me that really was like, oh,

503
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: this is all coordinated.

504
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 2: When I mean, who's leaving as the number three guy

505
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: at DJ to go work a buddy city DA's office.

506
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: Nobody, unless you've got your March in orders with I

507
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: mean and I and I genuinely believe that they've been

508
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: building this law fair program, you know, as far back

509
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 1: as you can think, really probably the eighth nine now

510
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: went to Obama administration, and that's when you you know,

511
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: the norm Eismans and the mark Eliases came in and

512
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the Clinton support groups that

513
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: really started to craft how they were going to do

514
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: this back then. So did you as as now you're

515
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: you're gaining steam, where did you see the attacks start

516
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: coming from.

517
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: At you, from with with within my own party?

518
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 2: I mean, so even in the embryonic stages, it was

519
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: the you know, the leadership of the Senate, led by

520
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: the lieutenant governor who now is running for governor in

521
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: Georgia as a Democrat.

522
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: You can't make this up.

523
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

524
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: So they were the ones that dropped the hammer on

525
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: us initially. But then we just kind of the real

526
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: work just kind of died, the slow death of delay, right,

527
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 2: so we'd move their bills. It would die maybe in

528
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: the Senate, maybe it would die in the House. And

529
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: this is an issue that frankly a lot of people

530
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: are afraid of in some capacity. But there's a lot

531
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: of elected officials down here who quite honestly think that

532
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: the people that have questions about the twenty twenty election,

533
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 2: or they call them, quote the crazies, right crazy, And

534
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: so you'll hear, well, the craziest think this, and the

535
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: craziest think that, And you know, I think that. There

536
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: obviously are varying degrees of things that I think did

537
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: and did not happen. But what I do know is

538
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: that the system is fundamentally flawed. You've got when you've

539
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: got software that can be identified by Homeland Security is

540
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: being vulnerable and then it's going to take you months

541
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: to update the software. According to your own Secretary of State,

542
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: that's not a system you should be using. It's just

543
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: you should move yourself off of that system and go analog.

544
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: If digital is inherently susceptible to attack, which it is,

545
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: then you move to an analog system. And so that's

546
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: what we're looking to do with the bill that I've gotten, frankly,

547
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: what we've been trying to do for a couple of

548
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: years and just haven't been able to get it all

549
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: the way across the finish line yet.

550
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know, and obviously you're you're you're, you're, you're.

551
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: This is not just a regional or even state fight

552
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: because the people that are fighting against you are well

553
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: funded from external groups. We are we know now the

554
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: breakdown of all the different NGOs where they've been getting

555
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: money and how they're going after these elections systems. And

556
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if you really get into uh

557
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, some of what Mike bends, the research he's

558
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: done online and where we see how USAID funded Uh, uh,

559
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: what is it all the different programs to enhance democracy

560
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: overseas and all these different places where we went and

561
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: started influencing elections and convinced them and actually paid for

562
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: them to have electronic voting machines, and you know, and

563
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: really started to architect to enhance the architecture of this

564
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: type of game now being happening in the United States.

565
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

566
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's like that's a powerful thing. So why

567
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: would you ever want to now move up in the rankings?

568
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: Why would you ever want to take the bigger fight? Right? Obviously,

569
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: you know before you answer that question, did you ever

570
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: have a one on one with camp or Rathmsburger.

571
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: Not a one on one with Raffensburger, but Bert Jones

572
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: and I the Lieutenant Governor, and a couple of members

573
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: of leadership as we were pushing to update from five

574
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: point five A. When these vulnerabilities essentially were exposed, we

575
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: not only had one on one meetings with the Secretary,

576
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: but we actually had meetings with Dominion themselves and we

577
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: were so I'm in my in my real life, This

578
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: state center of things a part time deal. I'm in

579
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: the software development business and we've I've only Toechnology company

580
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: with my partners for twenty plus years. And when we

581
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 2: talked to the Dominion team about their lack of white

582
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: hat testing and we talked to them about their testing

583
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: procedures and protocols, it was shocking, like it was shocking.

584
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: And I don't run mission we don't write mission critical

585
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: software per se. But we write video presentation software that's

586
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: used to run displays at the NFL Draft and the Olympics,

587
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: in the United States Congress, and so we've got to

588
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: get it right. And so I know the QA team

589
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: and the amount of testing that our team does, and

590
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: when I compared that to the answers that I got

591
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: when I was asking questions of Dominion, it was pretty shocking.

592
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: And you know, we're Dominion's largest customer here in Georgia.

593
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: We're the only state that uses them statewide. And when

594
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: they released version five seventeen of the software, their testing

595
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: process was so inadequate that they realized that the no

596
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: Wink pull pads, which is the check in pad that

597
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: we use that gives you the card that you put

598
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: in the Dominion machine, wasn't compatible with the newest software.

599
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, how in the world does that happen?

600
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: And what testing environment are you not testing compatibility for

601
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: your largest customer, your only statewide customer, Like that's the

602
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: one you got to make happy. And so I think

603
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: that some of this just falls to straight and competence,

604
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: you know, more so perhaps than even nefarious actors. Some

605
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: of this stuff is just a low bar that was set.

606
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: But yes, we met with the secretary. He and I

607
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: are somewhat at odds publicly because I continue to ask

608
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: questions even this year in the appropriations hearings, I asked

609
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: questions about his preparation for the twenty twenty sixth election,

610
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: because he's under a legal mandate to not use the

611
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: QR code, And I said, what are your plans? How

612
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: are we going to vote? In November, and the answer was,

613
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: there is no plan and we don't know what's going

614
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: to happen. I'm like, sir, it's January, like we got

615
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: to get this rolled out. And so I think probably

616
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: the days of the one on one meetings are over.

617
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: He's actually running for governor here in the state of Georgia.

618
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: I know so, but yes, I have had one on

619
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: one meetings.

620
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So then the next question then becomes,

621
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: all right, why would you ever want to move up

622
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: in the ranks and take the fight at a higher level.

623
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: Now I have a core conviction that we're in a

624
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: fight to save the West, So thank you. I was

625
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: thinking about running for the seat for a while, but

626
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: ultimately made my decision to do it on September tenth,

627
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: and when I watched Charlie Kirk get assassinated essentially live

628
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: on Twitter, I went home and told my our two

629
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: oldest kids, who are eleven and thirteen, about what they

630
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: would see, talk to them, and then talk to my wife.

631
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: And the conviction for me was that that day was

632
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 2: an unveiling moment, and it revealed to me that the

633
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: fight is not left versus dark, And I'm sorry I

634
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: left versus right anymore.

635
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: The fight is now light versus dark.

636
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: And of course, in the days preceding Charlie's death, we

637
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: began to hear, you know, all of the left kind

638
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: of put out, you know, supposedly the most controversial things

639
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: that he had said, and in context, I have yet

640
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: to hear him say anything I disagree with. And so

641
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: the fact that someone would put a bullet through his

642
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: vocal cords because of what he said, knowing that it's

643
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: exactly what I believe, I'm like, man, I've got to

644
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: double down on being bold. And I knew the guys

645
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: that are running for lieutenant governor because they're all friends

646
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: of mine, and none of them are bad human beings.

647
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: But I'm not convinced they're going to be as bold

648
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: as we need to be to save America. And I've

649
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: served with them and i've you know, they're not bad guys,

650
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: and some of them are conservative, but it's not just

651
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: being conservative because I went through twenty twenty with every

652
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: one of them in the Senate. All the guys in

653
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: the Senate were in the Senate at the time, and

654
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: not one of them stood with us and called for

655
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: a special session, and not one of them stood with

656
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: us at the press conference. And so it's not always

657
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 2: a question of ideological worldview and what do you believe?

658
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: And oftentimes more so the question is will you have

659
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: the guts to stand up when it really matters? Are

660
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: you going to run fifty political calculations in your head

661
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: before you make a decision and decide, Well, the safer

662
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: thing to do is to kind of hide under my

663
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: desk and I'll come back up when the smoke clears.

664
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: And so, given where Georgia is, and David, if you

665
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: think about this, Georgia is ground zero for the fight

666
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: to save America. Control of the United States Senate this

667
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 2: year probably comes through.

668
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 1: Georgia one hundred percent. It does.

669
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty eight presidential election comes through Georgia one

670
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: hundred percent. And so for me, we've got to have

671
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 2: leaders that put free market principles, capitalism, love of country, founding,

672
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: small government principles on display. And I believe that when

673
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: we do that, we can win elections in this state

674
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: by wide margins, because the other side crazy and we

675
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: may not be perfect, but we're not crazy.

676
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: You know.

677
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: We don't want to have men competing against our daughters

678
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: and sharing locker rooms with them in sports.

679
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: We don't want to.

680
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: You know, the big controversy here in the state legislature

681
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: last year was we passed a bill to ban taxpayer

682
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: funded transgender surgery for prisoners, and the Democrats walked out

683
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: of the House chamber and protest over that vote. It's

684
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: the only prot it's the only vote they protested. Only

685
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: thing they got up and walked out over, and it

686
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: was taxpayer funded transgender surgeries for people who are locked

687
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: up in prison. And so this is not you know,

688
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 2: this is not even Jimmy Carter's Democrat party. And no,

689
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 2: this has done records. This is this is unrecognized.

690
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's not if you know history, right, If

691
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: you if you know history, it's it's obvious what it

692
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: is right and whether you want to call it Marxism

693
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: or American socialism or whatever it is, it is what

694
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: it is right. That it is what it is? All right? Okay,

695
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: So is there ten thousand doors in your future in

696
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: this election cycle?

697
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 3: Different animal man?

698
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: This this game is I've got to raise money and

699
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: we've got to be on television. It's a messaging campaign

700
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: and not a shoe leather campaign. So I actually stayed

701
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: in the Senate, which puts me in a disadvantage because

702
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: I can't raise money while we're in session. One of

703
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: the guys is running that was in the Senate decided

704
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: to drop out so that he could campaign full time

705
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: and raise money. But you know, I looked at the

706
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 2: work that was still left to be done. I'm like,

707
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: I can't leave, and so this session alone, you know,

708
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: the paper ballot bill is my bill. I've got to

709
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: build a ban sharia law that we hopefully will get

710
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: done passed, a bill to really regulate what we're doing

711
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: on data centers because Georgia gives one point five billion

712
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: dollars in crony capitalist tax car abouts to data centers

713
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: every year. And so there's a number of things that

714
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 2: I that I really wanted to work on and continue

715
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: to help lead on. So no ten thousand doors. But man,

716
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: I'm putting a lot of miles of the truck. I'll

717
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: tell you that it's been Yeah, I'm sure.

718
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: All right. Before we get into the next aspect of

719
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: this madness right here, I just really want to talk

720
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,120

00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: Who Yah love you guys. Let's just talk a little

741
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: bit about the Sharia law thing, because it's it's really

742
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: in the news, and there's you know, there's whether you're

743
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: in Michigan or you're in Minnesota, or you're in Texas.

744
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: Like people, the whole Sharia law thing in Texas is

745
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: getting unbelievably. I mean, there's like a new moss that

746
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: pops up. And I'm not saying that all Muslims are

747
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: are gonna move, but if they're a Muslim, there's a

748
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: component within Islam that guides you towards Shari law. It's

749
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a what a It's a Kuranic

750
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: requirement right that if you really want to be pure,

751
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: you're going to live under those contexts. But as we've seen,

752
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: and I've seen vividly, it's the most harshest way. For

753
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: those that can't fight off the intensity of that reality,

754
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: that biblical nature, that eye for an eye, or that

755
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: that oppression that exists within it, you know, they're the

756
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: ones who suffer. I'll never forget my first my first

757
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: combat deployment, deployment over in Afghanistan. We're sitting there and

758
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: we're on this setup for an ambush, and all of

759
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: a sudden, these nomads come walking right through our ambush

760
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: with these you know, it's bizarre. It's like canvas. It

761
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: was like I was back in like in the fourteen hundreds.

762
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: It was weird. It was surreal. And there was you know,

763
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: four males and like probably fifteen females and then all

764
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: the little kids is down to like a four year

765
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: old was walking right, No one's on the camel and

766
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: I remember you could tell. I mean it was middle

767
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: of summer, one hundred and fifteen degrees out and their kids,

768
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 1: their kids and the young girls who are completely covered

769
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: in burkas are walking and the men they would start

770
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: to fall behind them. Men would come up and just

771
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: whip the shit out of them with a giant switch,

772
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: just beat them right and like hurry up, not like

773
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: pick them up and carry them like we would, but

774
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: they were just whipping on them. And then would I

775
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: watched several women in burkas in downtown Cobble and other

776
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: places that I worked over the years just be brutalized

777
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: in public, and I was like, where does this come from?

778
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: And again, plenty of Christian men have been abusive to

779
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: their families, plenty of Jews or abusive right whatever, but

780
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: like this is a dogma that you know, intensifies that

781
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: kind of rigidity that I think orchestrates a totalitarian mindset.

782
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: So what was the provocation for you to want to

783
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: fight that battle too? Yeah?

784
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we see what's happening in Dearborn, we see

785
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: what's happening in Minneapolis, we see what's happening in Plano, Texas.

786
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: And to me, this is just another one of those

787
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: preventative measures to ensure that we put up protections in

788
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 2: Georgia law that we need to have in place. It's

789
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 2: like when I passed the Rally Gains Act, right, I

790
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 2: wrote the Rally Gaines Act to keep men out of

791
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: women's sports and locker rooms, and every Democrat like, well,

792
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: is this really that big of a problem, Like, well, yeah,

793
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 2: Riley Gaines swam against Lea Thomas at Georgia Tech, and

794
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: that's where the whole thing happened. But setting that aside,

795
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: I want to ensure it doesn't happen to my daughters. Right,

796
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: My oldest daughter's thirteen, my youngest daughter seven. Who knows

797
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 2: what the world's going to look like in twelve years

798
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: when our youngest is in college? So two years yeah, yeah, right,

799
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 2: And so it's a similar it's similar thinking though, right,

800
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 2: we recognize. We see the Islamic Tribunal that's been set

801
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: up outside of Dallas, Texas, where they essentially create a

802
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: parallel court system that sits outside of the United States

803
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: court system, and its constitution recognizes the superior already of Sharia,

804
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 2: and they make these these legal decisions, these binding decisions

805
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: via arbitration that adhere to Sharia. And so that, in

806
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: my mind is a camel nosed under the tent. And

807
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 2: so you've got to ensure that you put these protections

808
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 2: in place. That all that the bill does, it doesn't

809
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: even mention Sharia law. It just says that we're going

810
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: to use American laws in Georgia courts. And if you

811
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: do have a tribunal system, you cannot enact any tribunal

812
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: decision to violate someone's constitutional rights. Because to your point,

813
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: you do see some of these that perhaps do violate

814
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: the rights of women or you know, are abusive to

815
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 2: children in some cases. And so that's what we're looking

816
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: to do. A man kick up the hornet's nest.

817
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: Oh dude, now you've got you've got two fronts coming

818
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: at you as well too. I mean, holy cal do

819
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: you have fear? I mean, obviously you you commented about

820
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: Charlie's assassination and form. I mean, for me, that was

821
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: like this humongous Wait. You know, my best friend is

822
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: Sean Ryan and the Sean Ryan Show, and like like

823
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: you see this and I'm like, man, everybody's it's open

824
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: season now, you know, and not to use it. It

825
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: was a horrible thing to say about Charlie in terms

826
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: of but that's what it was. He was hunted and

827
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: he was assassinated, like you said, shot in the throat

828
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: in front of the world to shut him up, yea,

829
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: to quiet the message that was beginning to resonate across

830
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: millions and millions of young people, older people. I mean

831
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: I remember first time seeing him, you know, during Trump's

832
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: first term, and I was like, holy cow, this kid's sharp,

833
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: Like it just blown away by him. So, I mean,

834
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: I've been following him for a long time, but you know,

835
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: you you got to realize, like the game is changing, man.

836
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: The radicalization of the left, the radicalization of Islam, the

837
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: radicalization of of of transgender shooters. Right, that's a real thing.

838
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: So are you are you frayed? You frayed for your family?

839
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: How are you addressing that?

840
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: I definitely so when we got some threats when I

841
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: first went after Fannie Willis.

842
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 3: We got some threats.

843
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 2: Just this week while I was in committee passing my

844
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: paper ballot bill, people were calling with threats to my

845
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 2: office here. And then, of course, you know obviously with

846
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: the with the Sharia band, we've gotten a couple a

847
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: few of those as well.

848
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 3: I'm personally not afraid.

849
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm content that when my day comes, it's going to

850
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 2: be in God's sovereignty. I certainly, though, I am afraid

851
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: from my kids. But I'll tell you a quick story.

852
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: So I left Christmas with my family early this year

853
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 2: to go down to Texas to help produce Passion Conference,

854
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: which is this large collegiate gathering of Christian college students

855
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 2: that I've been helping with for twenty plus years.

856
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: Now, Wow, that's awesome.

857
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 3: And my mom asked my son.

858
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: I've got one son of our four kids, and she

859
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 2: said his name is Lincoln. She said, Lincoln, how do

860
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: you feel about your dad running for lieutenant governor? And

861
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 2: he said mostly good? And she said, well, what do

862
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 2: you mean mostly good? And he's like, well, I'm worried

863
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 2: he might get shot. And she said, what do you mean?

864
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: And he said well, look at what happened to the

865
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: president and Charlie Kirk. Yeah, so that that hit me, man,

866
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: when she when she told me that, that landed pretty hard.

867
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 2: That that because he's never told me that, but when

868
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 2: he shared that with her, that landed pretty hard on me.

869
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: So I've had a conversation with him obviously since then.

870
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I mean I recognize that that that's

871
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's an unlikely outcome for me

872
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 2: because I certainly don't have the profile that that Charlie did.

873
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: But even my very first year in the state.

874
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 2: Senate, I was on the committee that passed the Heartbeat

875
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: bill out it ultimately sent that bill to the floor.

876
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: Very first year, Right, I'm wet behind the ear and

877
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 2: know where the bathrooms are and.

878
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: And you jump on the heavy this topic there is

879
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: for the left, right and the and the threats were

880
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: coming in and I you know, there was only there

881
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: was a three to two committee, small committee, you know,

882
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: all of us that voted for it, passed the decide,

883
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, the deciding voting committee, and we walked out

884
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: in the hallway.

885
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: We don't have security, we don't have a staff.

886
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 2: I've got a half of an administrative aid that we

887
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: shared with one other senator here, and and so it's

888
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: not you know, we're walking everywhere by ourselves, right, And

889
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: so the hallways are crowded and the people start chanting shame, shame,

890
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: and they start throwing stuff. And that was one of

891
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: those moments where I'm like, Okay, I need to get

892
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: out of here. I need to keep moving and kind

893
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: of push through. But but yeah, it certainly is a possibility.

894
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: Trying to dwell on it, but it's it's sad knowing

895
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 2: that my kids think about it.

896
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: Well, I just think, you know that the people I

897
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: know that are out there trying to bring that light

898
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: to expose the dark, who are facing the fire man,

899
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: they all say the same thing, that my faith in

900
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: Christ is what's going to protect me, regardless of any

901
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: physical damage or hurt that I can experience, you know,

902
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: in my as long as I can articulate at ley

903
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: that conviction to my children, then if I do die right,

904
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: they'll know I died for something right. And that lesson

905
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: in and of itself, although tragic in its totality, right,

906
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: really it inspires not only your family, but your friends,

907
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: everybody who's watching you on TV. I mean, you're you're

908
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: you're ripping into Fanny on that that house floor that

909
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: went viral. Man, I was like, it's all fired up

910
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: for you. So okay, so uh well and two things,

911
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: last thing, what do you want to tell Georgia voters? Like?

912
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: What is you know? And I know that's impossible to

913
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: encapsulate in a few minutes, but obviously what do you

914
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: want to tell him about you? And then what do

915
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: you want to tell him about what you're going to

916
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: do for them?

917
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean about me.

918
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: I would just say, look, I'm a fighter, I'm America first,

919
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: Georgia first.

920
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: Have the record to prove it.

921
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 2: Every objective scorecard says that I'm the most conservative guy

922
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 2: running this race. The cool thing is all of us

923
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: have a voting record, and it doesn't matter what you

924
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 2: say on a campaign trail. What matters is what you

925
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: do when the rubber meets the road and how do

926
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: you vote? And for me, the last eight years, consistently,

927
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 2: I've been the guy that's been leading on the hard issues,

928
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: the one who's not been afraid to stand up as

929
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 2: far as what I will do for them, I will

930
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: fight for them. You know, we didn't know when we

931
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: elected Brian Kemp in twenty eighteen. We did not know

932
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: that he was going to have to reopen the state

933
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 2: during COVID, and that he was going to put an

934
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: executive order in place that said that my kids could

935
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 2: opt out of a MASK mandate. You don't run on

936
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 2: that platform, but you vote for the most conservative person

937
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: that you believe that can be elected, so that when

938
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 2: the stuff comes their way, that's going to be difficult,

939
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 2: like COVID, you hope they apply the principles that they

940
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: ran on, but ultimately, you know, in terms of specific policy,

941
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: it's really simple for me. I think that we need

942
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 2: to cause the next generation to fall in love with

943
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: the American dream again. Yes, because absent that you will have,

944
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 2: you'll basically have Zora Mundani is a better looking Bernie

945
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: Sanders that smiles when he talks right and.

946
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: Not as slimy as good Newsom.

947
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 2: It's crazy Uncle Bernie, that looks good and sounds good.

948
00:48:59,360 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

949
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: Happening is the next generation feels like they're being left

950
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: behind and the middle class is disappearing before our very eyes,

951
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: and so people are like, well, this isn't working for me.

952
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 2: I can't afford to buy a house until I'm forty

953
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: one years old in America. Maybe I'll try this whole

954
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 2: rent control thing. And so we have to restore the

955
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: American dream. We have to expand the middle class again.

956
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: I passed a bill out of committee earlier this week

957
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 2: David to ban hedge funds and private equity groups from

958
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 2: buying thousands of homes in Georgia and turning us into

959
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: a nation of renters. Blackstone is using foreign investment money

960
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 2: to come into Atlanta and other investment firms, and these

961
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 2: investment firms are buying thirty percent of the resale homes

962
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 2: in metro Atlanta.

963
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Three years ago, I saw a piece of data, sorry

964
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: to cut you off, that said in the Atlanta area,

965
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: eighty percent of single family homes were owned by three

966
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: different companies. Is it somewhere near that? What are the numbers?

967
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: Actual numbers?

968
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: So it's it's thirty percent of the total resale Black

969
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: Title and Investor. And it could be that eighty percent

970
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 2: of the thirty percent are consolidated to invitation items in

971
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 2: the few big players.

972
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: Got it? Got it.

973
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: It's my opinion and my firm belief that the sovereign,

974
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 2: the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund and the Chinese fully recognize

975
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: that they will they will never win a war with America.

976
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 2: But if they can create civil unrest by purshing the

977
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: middle class and essentially stoking the winds and the flames

978
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 2: of class warfare, that you can essentially conquer America without

979
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: ever firing a shot. And if you look at the

980
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: last hundred years of this country, the entire wealth creation

981
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 2: mechanism for the middle class. My parents are the perfect

982
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: example of this. My mom was a public school teacher,

983
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 2: my dad was a paper salesman. Mom stopped working when

984
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 2: she got pregnant with me, and we got by on

985
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: dad's salesman's salary, which we lived a comfortable middle class lifestyle.

986
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 2: Nothing extravagant, you know. We bought you know, we bought

987
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 2: used cars. We went out to eat less than one

988
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: time a month, but we were content. And frankly, we

989
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 2: didn't have the internet, so we didn't know what we

990
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: didn't have, right, But they built their well through building

991
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 2: equity in their home, which they bought when they got

992
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 2: married in their early thirties. So they signed a thirty

993
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: year mortgage at thirty two years old, and they were

994
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 2: able to pay it off. And now they're living a

995
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 2: retirement life that in part is recognized as the equity

996
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 2: they built and by paying off their home. Well, if

997
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 2: you're buying your first house when you're forty one years

998
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 2: old and that's when you're signing your thirty year mortgage,

999
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 2: you're not retiring at.

1000
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 3: Sixty five at all. Yeah, so you're cooked, right.

1001
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 2: And so when I was growing up in the eighties,

1002
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: half of men in America were married and owned a

1003
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 2: home by the time they were thirty years old. Today

1004
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,280
Speaker 2: that's twelve percent. So you look at the downstream societal

1005
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: implications of that. Obviously, Elon Musk would tell us we're

1006
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 2: having far too few children and that's an existential threat

1007
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 2: that he believes is facing the West as well. But

1008
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 2: in terms of what it does social, socially and economically.

1009
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: On the economic side, it's very very frightening as well.

1010
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: I tell you what, Greg you're man. You speak truth

1011
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: to your words because of those deeds, because of those

1012
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: ten thousand doors. Man, I just command you, thank you

1013
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: so much for coming on and sharing your story. Where

1014
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: can people go to follow you, follow your your journey

1015
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: and support you and how can they pitch in to

1016
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: support you in this mission of yours?

1017
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: Greg dolisol dot com and Dolizol for g A on

Speaker 2: r g A. That's where we're exposing all this this

1020
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 2: election stuff, David on almost a weekly basis is on

1021
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: the x fees.

1022
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 3: That's a great way, that's a great place to follow

1023
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 3: me outstanding.

1024
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: Well, Greg, here's the deal. Once you get closer, I

1025
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: want to come back on. I'd love to have you

1026
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: on and tell us more about the fight you're engaged in,

1027
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: what you've learned so far, because I think in the

1028
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: next six months we're going to see a tsunami of

1029
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: new information coming out about all this election fraud, in

1030
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: particular in Georgia. So thank you so much, sir, God

1031
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: bless you.

1032
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 3: My pleasure,
