1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: So we've been talking on this show. We've done some 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: interviews as of late about the midterm elections, vitally important 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: midterm elections coming up on November eight. But you know 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: that I don't have to tell you. You understand what 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: is at stake as a nation, or values at stake, 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: who we are as a country. Uh, protecting us from 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: the weaponization of government and economy. I mean, Joe Biden 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: killed the economy and we witnessed the murder. We're all witnesses, 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: so we all know what's at stake. We know that 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: it's bad, we know that it needs to change. We 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: know that we need to make our voices heard. You 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: will know this. But if you're in Alaska, you also 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: have a choice between two Republicans and that changes things too. 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we need to change the balance of power 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: in the Senate. We need Republicans to win the majority, 16 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: but we also need people who are going to go 17 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: there and and aren't just Republican in name only right, 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: they're actually standing up for us. They share our value, 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: they're willing to fight for us. And we know that's 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: not Lisa Maurkowski. She says she's a Republican, but she 21 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: voted to convict former President Trump and his second impeachment trial. 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: She has voted with Joe Biden. She has endorsed the 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: Democrat candidate who is running for Alaska's only House seat, 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: the Democrat there in that race, She's voted for that individual. 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: She has sold us out. She's not a Republican. She's 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: as much of a Republican as Liz Cheney. But if 27 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: you're in Alaska, you have a choice. But if you're 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: in Alaska, you have a choice. There's also Kelly Chebacca, 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: and so you have a choice on November eight to 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: send a Republican who's actually going to stand up for you, 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: who actually is going to share your values. Kelly was 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: the first person in her family to go to college 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: and then to law school. Her parents were working class, 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: They worked hard to provide a living for her, and 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: throughout her career she's worked a whole government accountable. She's 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: worked in the Office of the Inspector General for the 37 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. She has worked as an advisor to 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community and various jobs 39 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: like that. So she's worked in these positions where she 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: has witnessed how government does us wrong, how government fails us, 41 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: and how we need to hold government accountable, which is 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of important if you look at what's been going 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: on in the country when you look at that we 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: have a Department of Justice that is targeting pro life Americans, 45 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: as we've covered on this podcast, as we look at 46 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: a Department of Justice that has targeted parents, a Department 47 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: of Justice, and an FBI that has targeted, for the 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: first time ever, a former president basically over and overdue 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: library book. So if there's ever a time to elect 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: people that want the whole government accountable, now is that time. 51 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: And so the reason why there are two Republicans running 52 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: against each other in Alaska is because of this funky 53 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: ballot measure to which was approved during the Alaska elections. 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: And so this is actually the first time that a 55 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: state election and Alaska is going to be held under 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: this new election process. And basically what it means is 57 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: all candidates ran and a non partisan blanket taught for 58 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: primary and that was on August six, two thousand twenty two, 59 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: and then the top four candidates advance to the general 60 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: election and voters will be using a ranked choice voting 61 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: process during the general election. One of the other Republicans 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: who had emerged. Buzz Kelly had also advantaged the general election, 63 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: but he suspended his campaign and actually endorsed Kelly Chebaca. 64 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: Who are we gonna be talking to today? And we 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: know Kelly is good because the people we hate hate her, 66 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: or the people that we don't think are doing a 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: good job hate her. Like Mitch McConnell, his Senate Leadership 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Fund is actually spent millions of dollars in attack ads 69 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: against Kelly. He's been trying to boost Lee to Murkowski. 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: Why do we think that is because Lisa Murkowski is 71 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: a reliable vote for Mitch McConnell, but also sadly, a 72 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: reliable vote for Democrats as well. Yes, we have a 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: choice this election cycle. We have a duty to win 74 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: back the Senate as Republicans, to get a Senate majority again, 75 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: get a House majority again, to get Republican governors in office, 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and Republicans around the country from the top of the 77 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: ticket down. We have to do this. We need to 78 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: change the direction of the country. But if you're in Alaska, 79 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to send a real Republican to Washington, 80 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: d C. Not another list Cheney. So that's who we're 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: going to talk to today, Kelly Chebaka running for Senate 82 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: in the great state of Alaska. We've got Kelly Chebaka 83 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: here running for se that in Alaska. You know, Kelly, 84 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about your race is that we're going 85 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: to have a Republican but with you, we'll get a 86 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: real Republican. Yeah, that's absolutely right. So in Alaska, Murkowski 87 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: is such a bad Republican votes with Biden eighty percent 88 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: of the time that our Alaska Republican Party censured her 89 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: and removed her from membership before I ever announced my race. 90 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: They said Murkowski is not our candidate. We're just looking 91 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: for somebody else. And so the race has now come 92 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: down to a head to head between me and Murkowski. 93 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: Because the election system in Alaska is a little bit different. 94 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: We have a ranked choice system. The polls are saying 95 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: we're tied fifty fifty. It's a tight race. Alaskans are 96 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: going to get to decide, and of course the determination 97 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: that the voters make will affect the outcome of the 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: nation because so many times Murkowski's vote is one that 99 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: affects the outcome of the nation. The establishment is with 100 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: her from Biden to McConnell. McConnell's flooding our state with 101 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: millions of dollars outside dark money to try and pull 102 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: for Murkowski. But Alaskans are definitely on a movement to 103 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: try and get her out of the seat because I 104 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: think we don't want a senator who's bought and bullied 105 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: by the establishment in DC. We want our Laska voice represented. 106 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm confident we're going to win on November eight, and 107 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: it's going to mean a big difference for the country. Well, 108 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: and McConnell's spending money against you is incredibly frustrating because 109 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: the balance of the Senate hags in power. Right we 110 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: we he needs to be spending money helping Blake Masters 111 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: get over the finish line, uh, you know, or getting 112 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: Don Bulldock in New Hampshire across the finish line, not 113 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: spending money against you a Republican. That's absolutely right, Lisa. 114 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: We know that he actually pulled money from those other 115 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: races to come up here and try and get his 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: friend Makowski across the finish line. That means that we 117 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: could lose the majority in the Senate, so Mitch McConnell 118 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: can make sure he preserves his role as Senate minority leader. 119 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: He's more interested in maintaining a minority he can control 120 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: than ensuring we have a majority that Mitch McConnell can't control, 121 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: in one that he might not be the leader of. 122 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: That is not the best interests of Americans or of 123 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: common sense Republican values, and it will come at the 124 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: harm of all of us because of this decision he's made. 125 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: And it's also a direct defiance of the will and 126 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: determination of the Republicans here in Alaska. The Republican Party 127 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: didn't start in Washington, d C. It started in grassroots 128 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: America's people coming around common values. So this directly the 129 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: five government of the people, by the people, for the people. 130 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: It's more of a result of these politicians and establishment 131 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: people in d C. Biden, McConnell, Murkowski, all of them 132 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: telling us people out here in America what's best for us. 133 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: You know, their quality of life goes up, our cost 134 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: of living goes up, and this is what we're tired of. 135 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: We want to take our country and we want to 136 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: lead it forward. Why do you think he's so invested 137 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: in helping Lisa Murkowski, Because I know that. I think 138 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: the reason is he knows he can control her vote. 139 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: The Exchange comments to the media when he said he 140 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: was going to invest seven to nine million in this race, 141 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: he said, Murkowski is a vote that we can depend on, 142 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: a reliable vote. I think that means a reliable vote 143 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: for McConnell as leader and reliable but when he needs her. 144 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: She voted with McConnell and Biden on extreme gun control 145 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: and red flag laws earlier this year. That goes against 146 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the values of Alaskans. Even Democrats carry guns up here. 147 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: But I also think that that he knows that I'm 148 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: not one of those votes, is going to just do 149 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: whatever McConnell wants. I have a long career of holding 150 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: government insiders accountable and exposing waste, fraud, and abuse. I 151 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: won't be bullied, silenced, or controlled by the DC insider establishment. 152 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: But I think that's all McConnell is really concerned about. 153 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: Lisa mccowski has become part of the DC establishment. She's 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: an insider through and through well. But she's also supported Democrats, 155 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: and I mean she's voted for Biden's Interior Secretary, Deb Howland. 156 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,239 Speaker 1: She's also endorsed the Democrat candidate who's running for Alaska's 157 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: only House seats, so you know it's not even like 158 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: a vote for the establishment Republicans. I mean, she's working 159 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: with Democrats, that's absolutely right. I'm not confidence that Mitch 160 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: McConnell is sold out on a Republican agenda. I mean, 161 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: I've asked this question before. Can anyone tell me what 162 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and as leader of the Republicans, wants to 163 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: accomplish in the next two years or four years. I 164 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: saw him give the Democrats the grain light to raise 165 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling. It seems like we're the ones as 166 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate who are always bending over and 167 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: giving the Democrats whatever they want. And so I'm not 168 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: confident that Mitch McConnell is actually looking out for Republicans 169 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: and our platform and our interests. I think Mitch McConnell's 170 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: looking out for himself. Remember, all these people are friends, 171 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: and they love to go to their little social parties 172 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: and Washington d C. Social circuits. But what are we 173 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: actually advancing as a Republican party as platform values. It's 174 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: time for Americans with courage and common sense to rise 175 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: together and leave this nation forward. I think that's a 176 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: real direct threat to McConnell and what he's looking out for, 177 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: which is me myself and I You know, you talked 178 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: about a lot of the work you've done and holding 179 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: government accountable. So you've done work in the Inspector General's 180 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: Office for the Department of Justice, or the Inspector General's 181 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: Office overlooking the intelligence community. Through that work that you've done, 182 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: what did that teach you about government? What should people 183 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: know about how government operates? Well, one thing that's exciting 184 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: is government can be good. Government can be for us 185 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: in there are ways to get the bureaucracy to work 186 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: and vend it's me to the will of the people. 187 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: And that's what I've developed expertise in. I will be 188 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: the only one of the hundred senators who has worked 189 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: from the bottom up to senior management, always in a 190 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: watchdog role, making government more efficient and effective. I've been 191 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: able to return billions of dollars to taxpayers and streamline operations, 192 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: make things work effectively. And when we walk in on 193 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: day one, last skill have a senator has thousands of 194 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers and lawyers and auditors that will be 195 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: able to use embedded in Biden's bureaucracy to start getting 196 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: these agencies and departments to work for Alaska in America, 197 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: not against us. None of the other senators have that experience, 198 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: knowledge and ability, and that will be a really great 199 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: asset for us. The other thing I think I learned, 200 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: and this is what got me to pursue this as 201 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: a career and not just as a first job. If 202 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: you don't have people like me making government work for us, 203 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: it's not always for us, Lisa. One of my first 204 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: cases was an allegation against FBI and Department of Justice 205 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: officials that they abused Americans and violated their rights. In 206 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: the case have been closed. Allegations were not substantiated, they 207 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: didn't do it, and I was assigned to just review 208 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: the report and put it out. And I went to 209 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: my boss and said, there's some loose threads here, and 210 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: he said, well, you reinvestigate it, and I did. I 211 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: got an agent to turn against the other agents. I 212 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: found evidence that they tried to destroy, and the case 213 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: went all the way to the US Supreme Court. It 214 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: turns out they did do it. And that's when I realized, 215 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: if you don't have people in like me in here, 216 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: it won't be bullied and won't be bought by the establishment, 217 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: government can get away with everything. And that's why I 218 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: decided to make it my career. I want to make 219 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: sure government works for the people and not against us, 220 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: and so I dedicated my career to this, and that's 221 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do here for Alaska and the U. S. 222 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: Senate makes this work for us, not against us. Well, 223 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: And Kellett's a real concern for so many Americans right 224 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: now is I mean a lot of people we fear 225 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: the government right and when we've seen them target parents 226 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: the d o J and calling them domestic terrorist. We've 227 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: seen former the president Trump for the first time in 228 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: American history, uh, the FBI reading a former president's home. 229 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: We've see what they're doing to Steve Bannon simply for 230 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: not responding to a subpoena when air holder can do 231 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: whatever he wants and that's not a big deal. So 232 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: we've really arrived at this point where Americans fear government. 233 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: How do you think we got here? One part of 234 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: it is I don't think Congress is really doing the 235 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: job it could do in its oversight Authority. Article one 236 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: section makes clear in the Constitution it's Congress's job to 237 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: hold the executive branch accountable these inspector general offices that 238 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: I worked in. They have a role to play as 239 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: internal affairs within the departments. However, fundamentally, um Congress is 240 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: supposed to be the check and balance on the executive branch, 241 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: and so many times it seems that they're distracted with 242 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: other things. Hopefully it as gently as we can, and 243 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: but they're not actually doing the job of budgeting in 244 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: government and reigning in their authorities when there's an abusive authority. 245 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,479 Speaker 1: For example, we have a senior position on the Appropriations 246 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: Committee with Makowski right now, but in the last twelve years, 247 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: they haven't only passed one appropriation still on time. They've 248 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: now gotten in the habit of just passing continuing resolutions, 249 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: budgeting same budget last year, same budget last year. It's 250 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: like giving your teenager a fifty dollar bill for allowance 251 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: every year for every week and saying I don't only 252 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: care what you're doing, I don't really care what you 253 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: spend it. You're gonna have a runaway teenager and you 254 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: have a runaway of bureaucracy. It's Congress's job to protect us. 255 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be the defense line for the Constitution 256 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: and protecting the people, and I think it's times they 257 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: get back to really focusing on doing the fundamental basics 258 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: of the job. Quick break back with Kelly Chebaca running 259 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: for Senate in Alaska. So many Americans right now are 260 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: feeling the financial pain of the Biden administration, Like the 261 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: intentional decisions the Biden administration has made to horror Americans 262 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: financially and the pain that their experienced. And I was 263 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: reading about your background. So your parents were homeless for 264 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: a little while, and they really fought their way to 265 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: build a better life for for you guys and for 266 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: your family. You were the first person in your family 267 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: to go to college and then law school. I think 268 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: one of the biggest problems with d C right now, 269 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of these guys and and you know 270 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: women in instance of Murkowski, they're immune to the policies 271 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: that they're implementing. But with your background, it seems like 272 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: you would understand a lot of the suffering that's going 273 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: onto the country right now. Talk a little bit about that, 274 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: at least I think you put it well. Energy policy 275 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: and economic policy, Um, this is all family policy and 276 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: worker policy for us right now. You're absolutely right, My 277 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: parents story is very close to home, and for a 278 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: lot of US Alaskans, you can't go from you know, 279 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: place of poverty into the fighting in the working class 280 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: under the economic um burden that the Biden administration is 281 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: placed on this and Murkowski's helps with that. They've added 282 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: five trillion to the national debts since Biden has been president, 283 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: and Murkowski has enabled that and voted for trillions of 284 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: that in spending that really hurts our pocketbooks in Alaska. 285 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: We're eating the food that we canned and caught and 286 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: killed because we have to. And no other state in 287 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,239 Speaker 1: the nation has been targeted for shutdown like the Biden administration, 288 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: and Murkowski has enabled that. Like you said, she cast 289 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: the tie breaking vote for the radical environmentalists in Biden's 290 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: administration who has completely sabotaged our economy and killed our jobs. 291 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: And we are feeling it. And when you don't understand 292 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: the consequence of the votes that you're making, you don't 293 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: understand that politics is personal. Is personal for us out 294 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: here and the real world living it on the ground, 295 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: and we're not looking for politicians, We're looking for public servants, 296 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: the people who understand that you're supposed to serve us 297 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: and make things easier and better for us, and not 298 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: just do what makes you popular in DC with your 299 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: friend Joe Biden or your friend Mitch McConnell. And we're 300 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: tired of paying the price for Murkowski's popularity in DC. 301 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: We're looking for someone who's going to make life easier 302 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: and better for us and not send us backwards and 303 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: make things harder. How much damage has Joe Biden done 304 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: to Alaska's energy industry. I don't even think we could 305 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: quantify it. I mean, it's it's devastating. I get these 306 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: texts all the time. People can't pay for gas and 307 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: groceries this week. We are terrified about how we're going 308 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: to pay for our heating in our homes. And I'll 309 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: feed our kids this this winter. We I mean where 310 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: I am right now, about on a two week road 311 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: trip um doing Galt to Vote rallies and stopping in 312 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: diners and knocking on doors in every community. I'm about 313 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: to go knock on bars right now in a little 314 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: town called Delta Junction. It's nine degrees and it's October. 315 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: We haven't even hit the dead of winter yet, but 316 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: we have had our industries completely shut down. Oil and 317 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: gas and mining and timber. We don't have fish running 318 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: in our our rivers and streams, and we live off 319 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: the fish to feed our families. Everything is shut down 320 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: and and it's we're in a panic at this point, Lisa, 321 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: that's how bad it is. But again, the decisions that 322 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: are being made up here by the Biden administration are 323 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: being made by these radical nominees that have been firmed 324 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: by our senator. And that's what hurts is it was 325 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: our senator and our leader who made these decisions. It 326 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: feels like a complete betrayal. And this affects all of America. 327 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: You see in Alaska, our oil and gas it could 328 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: power America, and our minerals that can advance America. And 329 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: stead we're going over to China. Our our timber and 330 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: our logs can build America. Our fish can feed America. 331 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: Our national security posture, we're able to protect America. Of course, 332 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: our tourism inspires America. But we are not able to 333 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: do any of that when the Biden administration has shut 334 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: us down with twenty six direct executive actions leveled at 335 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: us to harm us and sabotage our economy, crush our families, 336 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: and you know, kill our jobs and workers. We can't 337 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: do any of that without bold leadership in d C 338 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: that won't be silenced and won't be bullied by this 339 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: Biden administration. This Senate seat affects every person in America 340 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: because I believe Alaska is the foundation for a strong America. 341 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. I mean, Republicans we need to 342 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: win back the Senate, but we also need Republicans who 343 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: are going to hold the Biden administrations feed to a fire, 344 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: because you know, what's the point of having a Republican 345 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: in name only if they're if they're not getting the 346 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: job done, or they're not going to stand up for 347 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: Alaskans or Republicans around the country as well. Yeah, that's 348 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: absolutely right, and we've got to have a defense line. 349 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: If you will this looking out for America first, and 350 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: if your listeners want to help, I'm at Kelly for 351 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: a k dot com. We need all the help we 352 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: can get. Every little bit will help in these last 353 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: couple of days because it's it's all boots on the 354 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: ground at this point. We can win this Fennessy, And 355 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: they're saying the sentence is going to be close to tide, 356 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: and this this seat is often the deciding vote. You know, 357 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: she opposed Brett Kavanaugh, and she joined the Democrats and 358 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: filibustering Amy Coney Barrett. But she was one of those 359 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: key votes hit to get Biden's Kitangi Brown Jackson over 360 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: the finish line. And these are just appalling votes for us. 361 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: These are not in line with Alaska values. Definitely not 362 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: helpful for America. First once she voted to impeach Donald 363 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: Trump as well. Uh, you know, Americans are also just 364 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: saying our values attacked as a country and just the 365 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: way of life change that what we believe in who 366 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: we are as a society. I mean, we see Democrats 367 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: cheering on the mutilation of children. Uh no longer is 368 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: their stance on abortion safe, legal and rarer. They support 369 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: abortion up until the moment of birth. Just the indoctrination 370 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: of kids and a lot of these schools. So what 371 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: are your thoughts and just where we stand as a 372 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: country from a value standpoint. I think there's uh, it 373 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: seems to be like a value battle kind of raging. 374 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: But it's it seems to be prompted by people who 375 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: are just trying to divide us. When I'm out, you know, 376 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: knocking doors and talking to real Alaskans. I don't actually 377 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: see that much division in society, and in real society, 378 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: we actually agree on most things. It seems like there's 379 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: a concerted effort by people who are given a lot 380 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: of media attention and a lot of microphone in an 381 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: attempt to divide us and split up into camps and teams. 382 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: And then what I see is this um, this politics 383 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: of division. It then leads to so much um concerned 384 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: and chaos and confusion that they then are able to 385 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: swoop in with a large government solution, and it sort 386 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: of then feeds into this momentum, this leading towards the 387 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: socialist movement or this communist movement, And I don't think 388 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: that's pro America at all. I think we are as 389 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: a country united in our diversity. That's what the United 390 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: States is supposed to be about. We're allowed to have 391 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: freedom of speech and freedom of ideas, and we're supposed 392 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: to have diversity and even differences, but differences doesn't need 393 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: to be division and discord and hatred, and so I 394 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: don't really ascribe to any of that. I don't really 395 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: ascribe to this um affinity that I'm seeing for discrimination 396 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: and what they seem to be promoting that you know 397 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: that we're going to protect some rights at the expense 398 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: of other people's rights. I don't really like any of 399 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: that that we're seeing, and I don't see how here 400 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: in every day America and every day Alaska, and so 401 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: I really think it's time for us to have some 402 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: leaders that stand up and really demonstrate and model that 403 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: and push against it, even though I'm I see it 404 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: coming at a cost. It because coming at a cost 405 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: in our campaign, but I'll also see that we have 406 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: the momentum with us that there's more of us standing 407 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: up and saying that one of the Democrats who is 408 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: running on our ticket for U. S. Senate, he's come 409 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: behind us and endorsed me for Senate and his campaigning 410 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: with us because of this. There are so many more 411 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: things that we agree on than that we disagree on, 412 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: and we don't have to be divided in order to 413 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: maintain our differences, but also say there's common purposes that 414 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: we all can actually unite towards. Similarly, people remember the 415 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: infamous Murkowski right in campaign led by one of our 416 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: rural Alaska natives. She's not a Republican and she's one 417 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: of the co chairs on our campaign. UM, I think 418 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: that there's new ways that people can kind of boldly 419 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: lead us forward in that that amazing tradition we started 420 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: as America to say we are United States of America. 421 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: We can be different but still united, and I think 422 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: that's the direction I'd like to take us. But I 423 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: do believe we need to be united and protecting children. 424 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: I mean, the cultural issues are deeply important to me 425 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: because I believe that they are what defined us as 426 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: a society and who we are as a nation, of 427 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: what our values are as a country. And I think 428 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: that the most important thing is to protect the most vulnerable, 429 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: which our children. Yeah. Absolutely, As the mom of five kids, 430 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: all school age, I totally agree with you. And our 431 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: children are very impressionable. And the people who should have 432 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: the most to say and what goes into our children's 433 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: formation is the parents. I would support creating a national 434 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: bill of rights for parents that all parents are protected 435 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: and what their kids are exposed to. And ideological indoctrination 436 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: in schools, I don't really see a place on it. 437 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: I think our school should really be focusing on the basics, reading, writing, arithmetic, 438 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: and here in Alaska that's really critical right now. At 439 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: least are Our current literacy rates are dropping below statewide 440 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: for our children in Alaska, and our math proficient and 441 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: see rates are covering at that same level. We don't 442 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: really have time for our teachers to be focusing on 443 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: other things. We really need to get back to the 444 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: basics so that our kids are competitive and at least 445 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: have a fighting chance of successful life and adulthood. We 446 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: want them to be fully functional and literate. I agree 447 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: with that. And uh, you know, our school should be 448 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: focused on teaching children, not trying to, you know, in 449 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: doctrinate them and or try to get them to change 450 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: their gender. Uh, Kelly Travaka, anything else you want to 451 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: leave us with before we go? I've I've been on 452 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: the campaigner before. I know how busy you are and 453 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: how crazy it is right now and the home stretch. 454 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: Anything you'd like to leave us with. I believe that 455 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: the choice in every ballot box this November it breaks 456 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: downing this. You've got to decide who you stand with. 457 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: Are we going to stand with the American people and 458 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: the families that are suffering and the workers that are 459 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: being crushed that's one candidate, or are you're going to 460 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: see in with Joe Biden and the radical environmentalists and 461 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: the special interest that have ties to this White House. 462 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: That's your other candidate. It's just that simple. In Alaska, 463 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm the candidates. It's out there knocking on the doors 464 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: of these families and shaking hands with these workers and 465 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: funded by these grassroots Alaskans that are suffering. And Lisa 466 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: Mankowski is the one who's been standing with Joe Biden, 467 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: who confirmed these radical environmentalists, and who is funded by 468 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: all this special interest dark money coming into our state. 469 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: That's how our race is breaking down. But I'll tell you, Lisa, 470 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: every voting booth across the nation has the exact same choice. 471 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: And I am just believing that Americans are going to 472 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: make the right choice and that we're going to lead 473 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: our country forward with people who care about America and 474 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: our workers and our families. So November eight, there's going 475 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: to be a strong statement from Americans and this is 476 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: a country of the people, by the people, for the people. 477 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: And I still believe that range No, I agree it's 478 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: time to take the country back.
