I'm going to try to give 6 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: you guys some great information today so you can argue 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: with your crazy uncle on Sunday. But Happy Mother's Day 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: to everybody, by the way, all the wonderful mothers out there. 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: And you don't need to provide a hearing of due 10 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: process for anyone that didn't claim political asylum when they 11 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: cross the border anyway, So that's part of this, you know, 12 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: charade that's going on. The FED didn't lower rates again, 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: but there are two or three more cuts coming this 14 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: year and things are gonna get easier for Americans. They 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: really are oil prices at sixty eight dollars a barrow, 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, they said in the beginning of the oh 17 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: they're going to haveverge seventy four dollars a boot for 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: the year. Well, it looks like they're going to average 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: about sixty dollars a barrow for the next at least 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: a few months, for six months, maybe something like that. 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: You're going to see prices come down at the pump, 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: hopefully diesel come down. Even trucking industry experts don't can't 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: explain why diesel never seems to come down. Seventy percent 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: of products in America are moved by truck And these 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: least favorable Trump polls are being pushed by the media, 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: but they're dishonest, and they were dishonest in the election 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: polling as well. You got to know how to read 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: between the lines with these things here. But I wanted 29 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: to say that gasoline futures are down to two dollars 30 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: a gallon, which is pretty low. I think they were 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: at a dollar ninety nine or dollar ninety seven the 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: other day. Home heating oil in the Northeast in New 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: York has already come down. Trump's big on nuclear. We've 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: got six hundred and twenty four million acres of exploration 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: opened up and both posts in the water looking for oil. 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of progress going on our energy. 37 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: You're just extraordinary. We'll get into that another time though, 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: And I just wanted to bring on our first guest today. 39 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm very excited to have with us, Julian Assi Arc 40 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: because there's all these races heating up across the country 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: for Senate, for the House, Gubernatorio races a New Hampshire, Georgia, Kentucky. 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: Julian as sard Is with us. 43 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: Hi, Julian, how's it going. Thank you for having me. 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: You're welcome. It's great to have you. You're a US 45 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: Marine Corps veteran. You participate in Operation in the oif 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: A RACKI Freedom, You're the author of United We Stand 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: a Marines Fight, and you're host of the Blue Collar 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Intellectual podcast. Is that right? 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 3: Yes? 50 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: And co host the Grantite state Line. 51 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: Awesome. Spent a lot of time in New Hampshire for 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: the network for like six years primaries watching Trump fill 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: up the SNeW Arena with twenty thousand people when the 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: Democrats all nine candidates, we get nine thousand combined on 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: the Democratic side. It was a very exciting. A lot 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: of hot race is going on. And Shaheen, Senator Sheen 57 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: not running again. Who's going to fill that spot? Is 58 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: Chris Pappas running? 59 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: So Chris Pappus is running for Jean Shaheen. See he's 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: already declared, and it looks like he might. It looks 61 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: like he might actually get a challenge from some people 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: on the left. There hasn't been an announcement yet, but 63 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: we are seeing the race for CD one for Chris 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: Pappas's seat heating up. It looks very much likely like 65 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: the Republican for that seat is going to be candidate 66 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: from twenty twenty four cycle Chris Bright who ran last time. 67 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: And for the. 68 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: Senate seat for the Republicans, it looks like it's going 69 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: to be Scott Brown. There is a possibility of a 70 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: couple contenders hopping in, of course there always is, because 71 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: this is New Hampshire and we can't all get behind 72 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: one candidate ever. But for the Democrats, it's looking like 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: Moira Sullivan has already declared for the CD one seat 74 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: to replace Papus on the Democrat side, and it is 75 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: very likely she's going to be getting a challenge from 76 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: Stephanie Shaheen, from Jean Seheen's daughter. 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: Wow, a lot going on, but you know, you got 78 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: a new Jersey, you got a new Hampshire state legislature 79 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: that has a few vote majority for the Republicans. But 80 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: they don't vote that way. They didn't vote for they 81 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: didn't vote for parents rights and uh, you know, so 82 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: what's the chances of getting a Republican senator or a 83 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: CD one seat for the Republicans there. 84 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: So in the twenty twenty four cycle, we actually were 85 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: able to chalk up some wins. I think we got 86 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: about a two hundred and twenty four seat majority in 87 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: the state House by my last count, and it looks 88 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: like there's very likely possibility of us winning a special election. 89 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: We did pick up I believe, two Senate seats and 90 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: Executive Council seat. So the governor is Kelly aod is 91 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: sitting pretty with having the ability to pretty much get 92 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: most of what she wants done. But of course, you know, 93 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: never count Republicans out for snatching defeat from the jaws 94 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: of victory. We can definitely self sabotage with the best 95 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: of them. So it looks like going into this cycle 96 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: we are going to see there there is a likelihood 97 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: that we can pick up the seat. Because now that 98 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: it is an open seat and it looks like Scott 99 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: Brown isn't going to have or doesn't have a primary 100 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: challenger quite yet, I think we can we can rack 101 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: up a win if we all unify behind one candidate. 102 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: I think we can do it because then he can focus. 103 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: We have a very late primary date, which ends up 104 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: being the problem is we have our primary in September 105 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: and then the general election in November, which, you know, 106 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: eighteen months on the campaign trail lobbing, you know, jabs 107 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: at each other rhetorically as Republicans, and then trying to 108 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: go out and beat the Democrat in two months. It's 109 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: just it's untenable. And we know the Democrats typically unify 110 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: behind a single candidate. So I think there's possibly we 111 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: might be able to do it if we all come 112 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: together and fire in the same direction this time. 113 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: All right, So I ate breakfast next to Chris Sununu, 114 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: who was meeting with the Kislick, the head of CNN 115 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: at the time, because I covered the CNN town hall 116 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: there at the university, and he wouldn't give me an 117 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: interview because he knew we were rav and war Room 118 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: was beating him up and stuff, and he deserves it, right, 119 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: he's an anti Trumper and you know, but he was 120 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: kind of popular up there. Kelly Ayat is she going 121 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: to be able to bring a little bit more red 122 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: to New Hampshire up there? 123 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: I think she is. Kelly Ayot is more conservative than Sununu, 124 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: especially on social issues like men and women's sports, things 125 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: like that. I mean, she's already said that that's not 126 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: going to apply in New Hampshire. The vast majority of 127 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: the people in state agree with her. She's willing to Supposedly, 128 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: she said she's going to sign the parental rights bill. 129 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: So there are different wins that she pledged before running 130 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: for office. She said that were issues for us with 131 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: Sinunu as governor that aren't going to be issues with 132 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: Kelly Ai. So by that measure alone, she's already you know, 133 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: coming up head and shoulders above Snunu as far as 134 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: cooperating and working in concert with the Republican caucus in 135 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: the Statehouse. So I think we actually will be able 136 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: to get some things done. And I understand that she's 137 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: not everybody's favorite and the grassroots MAGA sector of the 138 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: party up here, but I think she is an improvement 139 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: on Snunu from this point, because Sunu is definitely overtly 140 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: antagonistic towards the MAGA voters in New Hampshire. 141 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Trump still cleaned everybody's clock up there was epic. 142 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to also just cover quickly. I interviewed the 143 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: director for overdose Prevention in Manchester, New Hampshire a year 144 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: and a half ago. He told me eight percent of 145 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: the population in Manchester overdoses every year with a toxic 146 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: cocktail trying to bring back themselves up from doing meth 147 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: and then they go on a synthetic morphine and then 148 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: all the eventanel And now the borders closed pretty much 149 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: closed in just ten weeks. How many lives Trump saving 150 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: across the country already from crimes from illegals and from 151 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: the drug trade. New Hampshire have to be happy about that. 152 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: You had the highest per capita overdose rate in the 153 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: United States for years. 154 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, when New Hampshire immigration was a big issue, 155 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: not just because we had the southern border and you 156 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 2: know Democrats have been instrumental of being able to help 157 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: ship illegals all over the country, but up here in 158 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: New Hampshire we also have the Northern border, and throughout 159 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: the Swansea sector of the Northern border, we had a 160 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: large amount of people who were coming into from in 161 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: New Hampshire and they were walking right into the back 162 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: of people's properties. They were dropping bags of drugs on 163 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: the side of the room. Yeah, for people to pick 164 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: up on side of the road. So it got pretty 165 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: tumultuous up here. And we definitely are happy to see Trump, 166 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: you know, taking the bull by the orange with this. 167 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: Wow.

Did you know that the top ten 219 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: lobbyist money recipients from lobbyists in Congress are all Democrats? 220 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: And that's pretty significant, I thought, and something to pay 221 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: attention to. I'm also very excited about the school vouchers 222 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: that were passed in Texas. A billion dollars in school 223 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: choice signed by Abbot, Governor Abbot in Texas As somebody 224 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: who paid for seventy two years of Catholic school in 225 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: college for my four children with all private university tuitions. 226 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm all for competition in our schools. I think it 227 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,359 Speaker 1: worked in New York City back in the day when 228 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: kids in bad neighborhoods were able to get on a 229 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: train and go wherever they wanted. Technical schools the Brooklyn 230 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: Academy of Sciences really gave people a shot. Let it 231 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: be competitively based, right, Why should a teacher make one 232 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two hundred thousand a year like here 233 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: in New York if they're not doing the job, And 234 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: let the schools fight for the children that go there 235 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: and let the parents decide. I'm all for it. I 236 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: want to bring our next guests in here. She's running 237 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: in the fourth congressional district and Thomas Massey's district in Kentucky. 238 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: Nikki the Ethington, Welcome to the show. 239 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: Thanks State for having me. 240 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: It's great to have you. I understand you just filed 241 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: to run for Congress. 242 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: That is correct, and it's going to be an uphill 243 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: battle with people like helping me get the word out. 244 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 4: Maybe we can get some change here that will enforce 245 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 4: those American First policies. And if I could just jump 246 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 4: into a little introduction of myself, if you wouldn't mind, Yeah, 247 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 4: go for it. 248 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm. 249 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 4: A registered and I've worked right here in this district 250 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 4: on the front lines of Kentucky's fourth I have additional 251 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 4: education and criminal justice and Homeland security and human Services, 252 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: and David. Being out on the front lines, I've seen 253 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: and heard firsthand the challenges that people have faced across 254 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: this district. And not only that, I've traveled across the 255 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 4: country filling in shortages and speaking directly with the American people. 256 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: So I've heard firsthand from ourselves of security recipients who 257 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 4: have struggled to purchase medications groceries being on that fixed income. 258 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: So these are our most vulnerable populations and we should 259 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 4: be doing right by them by eliminating those taxes on 260 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: their Social Security checks. This is just one example why 261 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 4: I'm all in demonstrating while I'm all in and advocating 262 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 4: for the people of my district. This is what nurses 263 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: do best, right, We advocate. So and I also understand 264 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 4: security our border is essential with the drugs that we've 265 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: had pouring in under the Baden administration, along with the 266 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 4: endless flow of illegals and dangerous gang members and the 267 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 4: human trafficking that was going on. Right So we've got 268 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 4: to continue to support David to keep our borders safe. 269 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 4: This means safer communities. And we finally have Donald J. 270 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 4: Trump in office, and we've seen the numbers way down 271 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 4: at the border. I think it's what ninety seven ninety eight, 272 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: dependent un who you ask. This is one of the 273 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: reasons that I'm running for Congress to make certain that 274 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 4: we keep this track record going and get rid of 275 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 4: the obstructionist. 276 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so, okay. So I always like Thomas Massey that 277 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: he kind of thinks for himself and he's you know, 278 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: was big with the Tea Party. I don't like a 279 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: lot of things as of lead as maybe the people 280 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: in the fourth District King Kentucky. You know three things. 281 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: He votes against Trump's budget, criticism of the Hoothy strikes 282 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: in Yemen, saying the not America. First, Trump violated the 283 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: War Powers Act, and then he votes against He was 284 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: a sole vote against stopping the China Oregon harvesting like 285 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: from the Wigers and other uh in there is he 286 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: is his support fleeting because I know Trump is irritated. 287 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: He endorsed him last time around, but it wasn't really enthusiastic. 288 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Do you see Trump endorsing you or somebody else, and 289 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: what's going on in your district. 290 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 4: So let me let me just say President Trump has 291 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 4: had enough of Thomas Massey's games, and quite frankly, David, 292 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 4: so have I, and I believe a lot of the 293 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 4: the Kentucky four constituents have as well. 294 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 5: Uh. 295 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 4: You know, President Trump has basically called him an automatic 296 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 4: no vote and has even compared him to Liz Cheney. So, uh, 297 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 4: I think that tells you all you need to know 298 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 4: about President Trump's opinion on him. As far as him 299 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 4: endorsing me, I've not talked with President Trump, but that 300 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: would absolutely be a wonderful thing if that did happen, 301 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 4: and if I could just you know, extend on his 302 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 4: voting record a little bit. President Trump isn't unhappy because 303 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 4: one thing. Massy started off twenty twenty five in complete 304 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 4: defiance the President Trump's agenda and quite frankly, the on 305 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 4: the Republican Party. On February the twenty fifth, Massey voted 306 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 4: on the Budget Resolution bill. He was the only no 307 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 4: vote on the Republican side. This was the blueprint to 308 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 4: advance the tax cuts, the no tax on tips, over 309 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 4: time and social security. It also added a little bit 310 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 4: of defense spending in there for border security, and March 311 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 4: to the eleventh, he voted to keep the government. He 312 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 4: voted against keeping the government up and running, meaning he 313 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 4: voted alongside his Democrat friends to shut the government down again. 314 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 4: The only no Republican vote April the tenth, the Revised 315 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 4: Budget Resolution Bill that came back from the Senate, you know, 316 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 4: the final version of this big beautiful bill that we're 317 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 4: hearing you know all about that we like to call 318 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 4: He voted no again on this, David. These are key 319 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 4: measures that have significant tax cuts, strict immigration enforcement measures 320 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 4: aiming to increase the deportations in the border security. They 321 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 4: had energy policy of reforms in there, focusing on deregulations 322 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 4: and increased domestic production here in America. So President Trump 323 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 4: has a mandate from the American people. Thomas Massey knows 324 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 4: President Trump has a mandate from the American people. So 325 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 4: this is obstruction. 326 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: At its best, all right, Nikki. So we don't have 327 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: a lot of time, so I just have so much 328 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: to cover with you, But I really want to focus 329 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: on your nurse and you listen to the people in 330 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: your district. You've treated a lot of people that's strong 331 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: with MAGA. You're very strong in MAGA movement, but when 332 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: nurses generally aren't. But you told me something about our 333 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: nurses that nurses have been telling me. I've had many 334 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: nurses tell me over the last two years there's been 335 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: an explosion of blood clocks. And can say that's correct, 336 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: glioblastom is astrocytomers since the vaccine. Can you address that? 337 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 4: Well? What I can say, David, is as a nurse, 338 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 4: I was directly impact about the COVID vaccine mandates. We'll 339 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: start there. I saw countless healthcare workers displaced for standing 340 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: up to their right to choose. We were held as 341 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 4: heroes one day and then cast aside the next. I 342 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 4: stood firm and refused to blindly follow the corporate directives 343 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 4: that mandated these COVID vaccine and I saw firsthand how 344 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 4: you know, these mandates pushed skilled workers, dedicated nurses David 345 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 4: out of the profession and left patients with fewer advocates 346 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 4: at their bedside. And like you just spoke, you know, 347 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 4: now we're learning more about the risk that some of 348 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 4: these individuals have faced. Even the myocarditis and the pericarditis, 349 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 4: This is inflammation around the heart muscle and the surrounding tissue. 350 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 4: These are serious issues. And the blood clots, as you spoke, 351 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 4: these aren't conspiracy theories, they're documented cases. But what I 352 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 4: want to address I believe in firmly and medical freedom, 353 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 4: informed consent, transparency, and I will fight to make sure 354 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 4: that America is never forced to choose between their jobs 355 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 4: and personal decisions. Again, David, while there's been efforts made 356 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 4: to pass some legislation ending the vaccine mandates for healthcare works, 357 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 4: as far as I know, none of them have successfully 358 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 4: advanced through both chambers of Congress to become law. So 359 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 4: this is definitely a fight that I'm going to stick 360 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 4: in there with and invest a lot of time in. 361 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: Okay, we have about a minute and a half really quick, 362 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: because I want you to share it an udience where 363 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: they can follow you. Big Pharma Josh Holey says, Americans 364 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: are last on the list for big farmer and this 365 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: price gouging going on. What would you do in Congress 366 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: to address that? 367 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 4: As far as the big Pharma goes, we have to 368 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 4: get them in and under control. They have took off 369 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 4: and they're basically in charge of what we can do 370 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 4: as nurses, what the doctors can do with their patients. 371 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 4: This is absolutely absurd, David. And so this is something 372 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 4: that definitely is going to require a lot of attention 373 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 4: from our We have like three nurses, I believe up 374 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: there in Congress. If we can all band together and 375 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 4: even the others, we can get stuff done. Quite frankly, 376 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 4: America is tired of Congress not doing their jobs. And 377 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 4: I'm a fighter. I don't know if I come across 378 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 4: that way or not, but I'm a fighter and I 379 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: stand up for my people.

I know that I 388 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: know one other that was thinking about it. And when 389 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: is that primary? 390 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 4: So our primary is May the nineteenth, and you know 391 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 4: that's not very far away. It's very important. This is 392 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: another thing people need to get out and vote. Because 393 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: when we I think it was in twenty twenty twenty 394 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 4: four week last had our primary, Thomas Massey received only 395 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: like thirty nine thousand, nine hundred and something votes in 396 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 4: that primary. That means like the thirteen percent of the 397 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 4: voters turned out. The other two candidates had a total 398 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: of like twelve thousand between them, So the grand total 399 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: was fifty two thousand, four hundred and nine votes cast 400 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 4: in that primary. Now, David, we have three hundred and 401 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 4: twelve thousand registered Republican Yeah, so that the math is there. 402 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 4: Eighty seven percent didn't vote, so we have to get down. 403 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: And vote one hundred percent everybody.

There's 413 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: there's a lot going on across the country there's a 414 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: lot of races that are going to heat up really fast, 415 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: and one of them is the Georgia Senate race with 416 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: Brian Kemp deciding not to run, a lot of potential 417 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: candidates out there, and I just want to talk about 418 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: what's going on in Georgia in general. I want to 419 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: welcome to the show the Georgia Republican Party chairman, Josh mccoon. 420 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us, Josh for having me. Yeah, 421 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: thank you so much. I know you're you're on the road, 422 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: you're joining us via audio today and I wanted to 423 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: get your take on what's going on. I know you 424 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: helped deliver a Trump victory and short with the Republican Party. 425 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: Trump won by two points this time. You know, my 426 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: own feelings about what happened, you know, in twenty twenty. 427 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: But there's a lot going on. I feel like there's 428 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more maybe unity going on in Georgia. 429 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: Are they going to get behind a senatorial candidate soon? 430 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 6: Well, you know, there was an article today indicating that 431 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 6: Governor Kemp and President Trump are talking and trying to 432 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 6: work together to find a consensus candidate. Obviously, we don't 433 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 6: want a really crowded primary with blood on the floor 434 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 6: and everything else. John Asof's already raised eleven million dollars 435 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 6: in the first quarter, and we know that's going to 436 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 6: be a tough road. We feel like we can win. 437 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 6: We feel like George is the best chance to put 438 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 6: in America first Conservative in place of a Democrat. But 439 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 6: we do need to come together. And I thought that 440 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 6: was a good sign that Governor Kemp and President Trump 441 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 6: are communicating about this. 442 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I know that Democrats bought a ton of money 443 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: into TV ads, you know, in the senatorial races and 444 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: the president's race, and you know, I wanted to talk 445 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: about some of the prospects out there. I spent a 446 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: lot of time on the campaign trail with surrogates for 447 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: Trump across the country, and one of them was MTG. 448 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: He was a real fighter for Trump on the road. 449 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: Another was Mike Collins, you know, and really, you know, 450 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: was out there for Donald Trump. What about other candidates also, like, uh, 451 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: there's a Reagan box who says she wants to run 452 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: Rich McCormick congressman. Right, Buddy Carter, can you tell us 453 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: some of the differences between the candidates. 454 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 6: Sure, you know, obviously you've got Buddy Carter there in 455 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 6: Savannah who announced today, and Congressman Carter I actually started 456 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 6: with him in the state legislature. He is from Pooler, Georgia, 457 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 6: on the southeast and part of the state. He is 458 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 6: got the ability to self fund, which obviously is a 459 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 6: big plus. He does have to get known outside of 460 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 6: his congressional district and so he'll need to spend money 461 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 6: to get his name idea up obviously positioning himself as 462 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 6: a Maga warrior, and the ad that ran today announcing 463 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 6: his candidacy. Of course, I'm sure your audience is familiar 464 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 6: with Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green, who's weighing her options. May 465 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 6: get in, may stay where she is, but very well 466 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 6: loved by Georgia Republicans all over the state and would 467 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 6: be a daunting candidate in the primary to face off with. 468 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 6: And then you mentioned Congressman McCormick, who obviously is another 469 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 6: potential contender. Our insurance Commissioner John King had said he 470 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 6: would run if the governor did not run, and that 471 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 6: may be a candidate that Governor Kemp gets behind. Governor 472 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 6: Kemp appointed John King Insurance Commissioner a couple of years 473 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 6: ago so I would not discount his potential staying power 474 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 6: in the race. And Congressman Mike Collins, of course I 475 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 6: was with Congressman Colins Saturday. He held an event in 476 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 6: his home district. But there were people from around the state, 477 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 6: over five hundred people packing out a facility there in Covington, Georgia, 478 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 6: and it definitely looked and felt like a rally for 479 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 6: someone who's looking to run for higher office. So lots 480 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 6: of contenders, lots to sort out here in the in 481 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 6: the coming weeks. 482 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: Okay, what are the what is the date of and 483 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: when is critical mass reached where a decision's got to 484 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: get made And you think there'll be a primary. 485 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 6: Well, obviously we have a qualifying in Georgia will take 486 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 6: place next March. But I think that you know, this 487 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 6: winnowing and trying to, you know, get everybody sort of 488 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 6: behind a single candidate or maybe a smaller primary field. 489 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 6: I think that's all got to play out in the 490 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 6: next couple of months. I mean, I think it's gonna 491 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 6: happen pretty quickly. We'll either see lots of candidates emerge 492 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 6: and this becomes a really big, big field, or President 493 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 6: Trump and Governor Kemper successful and we see either a 494 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 6: single candidate or maybe one or two that are contending 495 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 6: for it, because of course here in Georgia we have 496 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 6: a runoff rule and you have to get fifty percent 497 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 6: of the vote to be the nominee, so you have 498 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 6: three or more candidates that the likelihood is this thing 499 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 6: drags into July before we have a nominee, and that 500 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 6: obviously is not good for us. We need as much 501 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 6: time as possible to topple John ice Off. 502 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,719 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, Well, it's an exciting time down there, and 503 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: Trump and Kemp some unity there, probably will work together 504 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: to get the best candidate. 505 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. I mean, that's certainly the reporting today. 506 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 6: You know, one of the things I'm very proud of 507 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 6: of my time as chairman is the way we were 508 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 6: able to really bring everybody together in the closing weeks 509 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 6: of the presidential campaign. And it's great to see that 510 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 6: working relationship between Governor Camp and President Trump continue. And so, 511 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 6: you know, I'm hopeful that we will see a single 512 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 6: candidate emerge or a smaller field emerge as the governor 513 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 6: and President Trump work on that. 514 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: Right, So is Rafsensburger running again for Secretary of State. 515 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 6: So I'm glad you mentioned that. Mike can't believe I 516 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 6: left him out of that discussion. As the secretary of state, 517 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 6: Raffisburger or somebody that absolutely would be looking at the 518 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 6: Senate race as well. And he of course was able 519 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 6: to self fund his initial run for secretary of State 520 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 6: in twenty eighteen, very wealthy, got a lot of resources 521 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 6: he can draw on. So he's someone that could wind 522 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 6: up being a candidate for in either the governor's race 523 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 6: or the Senate race. 524 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: So that's another one to watch. I think a lot 525 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: of the mag contingent is still very upset, you know, 526 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: about what transpired in that realm. But you know, also 527 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,959 Speaker 1: in Georgia, you know you could win the primary and 528 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: you could also lose state wide though, right, So that's 529 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: always a challenge because these races are really close, aren't they. 530 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, there's definitely a balance to be struck. You know, 531 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 6: I'm I'm a conservative. I want to see a conservative 532 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 6: an America first Conservative nominee obviously, But yes, George's a 533 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 6: competitive state. I like to tell people we're a center 534 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 6: right state, but we're not Alabama, and so you know, 535 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 6: we've got to have a candidate that can really appeal 536 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 6: and get our voters out. I mean, that was what 537 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 6: was so great about President Trump is a lot of 538 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 6: people that sat on the sofa in some prior elections 539 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 6: got up and went to vote, and we broke a 540 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 6: lot of voter turnout records and key Republican strongholds in 541 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 6: the state. And so we've got to have somebody that 542 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 6: can inspire that same level of confidence. So I believe 543 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 6: that's going to happen. I believe we will defeat Senator 544 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 6: asof but it's going to take a special candidate to 545 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 6: do it. 546 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the movie industry Atlanta will benefit. You know, 547 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: a lot of movies were made in Atlanta because it's 548 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: cheaper than Hollywood. And as a people Fleena and then 549 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, with these perspective tarifs for foreign filming that 550 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: Trump will put into place, maybe you'll get more. One 551 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: last question quick, we have about a minute. Has the 552 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: demographic changed in Georgia because New York has lost the 553 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in wealth between Florida to Florida and Texas, 554 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: and has Georgia benefited similarly, and is the demographic changing 555 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: and could you gain a Republican seat. 556 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 6: Look, we have a chance, I think in the southwestern 557 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 6: part of our state, second congressional district. Sandford Bishop's been 558 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 6: the congressman for thirty four years. I believe that's an 559 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 6: opportunity for us to pick up. And you know, I'm 560 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 6: running for another term as chairman of the party if 561 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 6: I'm re elected, that's going to be a real area 562 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 6: of focus for me, is to try to see if 563 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 6: we can knock off Sandford Bishop and move our congressional 564 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 6: count from nine to ten. 565 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: Wow.

A lot of people are busy. They 607 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 5: can't join school boards, they can't get on borough council, 608 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 5: but they can change where they shop. And it's just shopping. 609 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 5: It's that simple. 610 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 9: We're gonna link arms and we're going to shop right 611 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 9: here at this American factory. They make the products and 612 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 9: they're all natural, and they're good for us and they're affordable. 613 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 9: Everything made here in the USA. 614 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: Hello, I'm David Zier. Welcome back. You're watching Breaking Point 615 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: on Real America's Voice News. I have a great guest 616 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: with us right now, because if you turn your head 617 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: for a minute, you missed the news cycle. It's so 618 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: extraordinary what's going on. I have former CIA author senior 619 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: editor of at End magazine, Sam Fattis. Welcome to the show. 620 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 3: How are you, sir, I'm doing great. Thank you for 621 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 3: having me. Appreciate it. 622 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I really appreciate you coming on. Everybody loves you 623 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: in the war room and it's really relevant. I think 624 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: that you're here today because I have a couple of topics. 625 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: Not everybody's really getting into it and talking about it. 626 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: And my first concern out there is, you know, with 627 00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: the Iranian backed who Thi's in the Red Sea, a 628 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: firing on shipping hitting Bengorian Airport last week, which was 629 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: a big conflagration in my opinion. You know, the Harry S. 630 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: Truman and the carrier group that's associated with it's come 631 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: under fire. They've lost three hornets since December, and there's 632 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: a number of reasons for those. And there was a 633 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 1: missile that came within a mile of the harry S. 634 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 1: Truman and the closing weapons system the failings took it out. 635 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: Isn't that a little too close for comfort? 636 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's way too close for comforts. When you're down 637 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 3: to the part where you're shooting the fay Lank with 638 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 3: its depleted uranium rounds to take down a missile. I mean, 639 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 3: obviously I'm laughing, not because it's funny, but because yeah, 640 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 3: that that that would absolutely get your attention and should 641 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 3: never happen. 642 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: Right. So there's like forty ships in these carrier groups, 643 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: I believe, and you know you have like e two 644 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: Sea Hawkeyes, You've got combat air patrols. You've got all 645 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. But what happens like the Soviets theory 646 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,280 Speaker 1: and like you know in Red Storm Rising Tom Clancy, 647 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: what if you had twenty five kitchen bombs coming at 648 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: your fleet at once? How do you stop it right 649 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: from a TU twenty six backfire bomber or other? But 650 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: now what if they have fifteen cruise missiles at a time? 651 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: Are we vulnerable? And tell us is what's going on 652 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: with the Truman losing two hundred million dollars in fighter 653 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 1: jets almost since December? One falling off one, the arresting 654 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: gear wasn't working, couldn't land, everyone ejected shape safely. And 655 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: then the US S Gettysburg shoots down one in December 656 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: and the pilots ejected and we're safe. Is this a 657 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: matter of readiness? Is this a result of Biden? Or 658 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: is this just a really complicated theater of operations? Yeah? 659 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 3: Well, look, let me say up front. You know, I 660 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 3: was in the military before I was in the Agency. 661 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 3: My dad was a career naval officer. My brother's a 662 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 3: retired Army colonel. My son served in Afghinistan. I've been 663 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 3: around the military all my life. There's no such thing 664 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 3: as this sort of space age video game antiseptic way 665 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 3: to fight a war. Things go wrong, You're never one 666 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 3: hundred percent safe. So the idea that we can just 667 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 3: operate with impunity and we're never going to take a hit, 668 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 3: never going to take a loss. You know, folks need 669 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 3: to get past that. Having said that, do I think 670 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 3: we have a readiness issue? One hundred percent? We have 671 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 3: a readiness issue. We have We have brought the United 672 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 3: States Navy down to a ridiculously low number of ships. 673 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 3: You're sending the same vessels out over and over. You're 674 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 3: sending the same guys out over and over. One ship 675 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 3: comes back and they're pulling guys off those ships and 676 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 3: sending them straight back out to sea, and you're using 677 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 3: the same equipment over and over and over. You know, 678 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 3: you don't have the best military in the world just 679 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 3: because you say you do. You have it because of 680 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 3: attention to detail, resources, all the not sexy stuff, but 681 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 3: that actually makes it happen. And under Biden, we disregarded 682 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 3: all of that, right, So, yeah, we are vulnerable, we 683 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 3: have problems. 684 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: Well that's a scary thought. Hopefully we get back on 685 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,959 Speaker 1: track becaus I know it was a priority for Trump 686 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: in his first term. Gaza the peer construction, bad weather 687 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: led to injuries, sixty or so injuries, a death I 688 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: don't know if it was of a service person, but 689 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: and cost overruns. This peer was a bad idea to 690 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: begin with or for Gaza, wasn't it. 691 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a terrible idea. First of all, there 692 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 3: was no necessity to ever build a peer. You can 693 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 3: Gaza has an extensive land border with Israel. You can 694 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 3: fly everything in or bring everything in in normal commercial 695 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 3: ports to Israel and truck it across the border into Gaza. 696 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 3: So let's start with this. It was a PR stunt, 697 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 3: and they disregarded the people, the Biden administration disregarded all 698 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 3: relevant considerations that said. This is another example of Look, 699 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 3: we're building a peer to bring stuff across a beach 700 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 3: in peacetime with no hostile force interdicting us, and we 701 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 3: can't do it anymore. And that's not because our guys 702 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 3: are lazy. That's because the resources have been cut, the 703 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 3: training has been cut. In this case, they had Navy 704 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 3: and army people on the beach trying to use different 705 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 3: types of equipment that they knew, didn't it didn't physically 706 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 3: fit together, and they were trying to build this thing 707 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 3: again peace time on a beach, bad sign. 708 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: Bad policy, compounded by you know again, maybe a readiness 709 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: issue and other training. All right, let's talk about Cuba. 710 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: China spying from at least four sights in Cuba. Does 711 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: this new satellite photographs released? Does this threat in military 712 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: installations like Pensacola, Tyndall McDill, the Southern Command, the Naval 713 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: ass Station in Key West, the King's Bay submarine based 714 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: Cape Canaveral. What's going on? 715 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the Chinese have been there for a long 716 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 3: time and they've been spying us for a long time. 717 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 3: So are they upgrading their capabilities yet? But honestly, while 718 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 3: the press is paying attention to it, this is not 719 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 3: anything we didn't know. The bigger issue is if the 720 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 3: Chinese are there and they can set up these signals, 721 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 3: intercept things, and listen to our communications or try to 722 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 3: listen to our communications, they could also do other stuff 723 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 3: from Cuba. They could also put missiles in Cuba. They 724 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 3: could put all kinds of forces in Cuba. So there's 725 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 3: a much broader potential threat here that we ought to 726 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 3: really be worried. 727 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: About China is giving Cuba like three hundred and sixty 728 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: nine million dollars. I think they gave them already. There's 729 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: reports that China is helping the Cuban government sense of 730 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: the Internet, putting Huawei equipment in there, you know, so 731 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: the citizens remain you know, on free so and then 732 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: you know how big is the involvement with China there now? 733 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: And we know, you know, Russia, the Soviet Union up 734 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: until nineteen ninety one had like fifteen hundred probably spies 735 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: or so in Cuba. Is this the future? 736 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 2: Is this? 737 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: Does the Monroe doctrine apply here? 738 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 3: Monroe doctrine should apply. Obviously another thing that Joe Biden 739 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 3: decided he didn't care about that We're just going to 740 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 3: let hostile powers come in the Western hemisphere. The Chinese 741 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 3: are in Cube, but you know what, the Chinese also 742 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 3: have the largest embassy in the world in the Bahamas, 743 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 3: and they have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of intelligence 744 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 3: officers in the Bahamas. Now, I can guarantee you they're 745 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 3: not there to collect on the very sexy target of 746 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 3: the Bahamas. They're there because of the proximity of the 747 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 3: United States and the fact that you can get back 748 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 3: and forth very quickly, so they are there in the 749 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 3: Bahamas to spy on us and to run American assets. 750 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 3: That's been going on for a long time too. We 751 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 3: haven't done anything about it. 752 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bahamas closer than Cuba right to the United States. 753 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 3: Well, and you have a huge amount of travel back 754 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 3: and forth, so that means spies can vanish into that 755 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 3: crowd moving back and forth. 756 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: Interesting. So many things going on, and I don't want 757 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 1: to maybe make too much of India and Pakistan, but 758 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: maybe this, you know, escalates, but probably not. The situation 759 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: Indian tourists getting killed by terrorists, Pakistan getting missile strikes 760 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: from India, and then I heard the Prime Minister of 761 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: Pakistan's haying they shot down five Indian jets. I don't 762 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: know if that's true, and what's the latest. 763 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 3: Well, up front, I don't know that that's true either, 764 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 3: And if I had to bet money on it, I'd 765 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 3: say it ain't true. But that's the kind of stuff 766 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 3: that the Pakistanis say all the time, and it's not 767 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 3: worth anything. I think the Indian response was measured. They 768 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 3: had to hit back, and they did, and now they've 769 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 3: given the Pakistanis a chance to climb down the ladder 770 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 3: and let's move ahead and not let this spiral out 771 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 3: of control. Am I hopeful that will happen. I'm cautiously optimistic, 772 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 3: but look, this is Indian and Pakistan. This is a 773 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 3: centuries of animosity between Muslims and Hindus. So at any 774 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 3: moment that the chance it goes high and right and 775 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 3: spirals out of control always there. Let's hope that the 776 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 3: cooler heads are in control. 777 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: I just wanted to add one thing, you know, I 778 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 1: remember growing up and watching I don't know if it 779 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: was Kuo or I was at Zia. The ISI was 780 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: an ally the Pakistani intelligence of the United States. Do 781 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: we still have the allies there? And are they really 782 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: rooting out the Islamic Paris? 783 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 3: Do we work with the is? I? Yes, it is 784 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 3: the ISI sometimes cooperating with us and sometimes smiling in 785 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 3: your face and then turn it around and doing the 786 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 3: exact opposite of what they claimed they were going to do. 787 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 788 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 3: Sure, back in the day, you'd go to raid a 789 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 3: safe house in Pakistan and before you could get there, 790 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 3: the ISA I would have made a phone call and 791 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 3: warned the guys you were going there to grab. So 792 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 3: it's always a double game. That's it's never simple. 793 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 1: Well, I really appreciate your insight. I'd love to have 794 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: you back on. And can you tell our viewers where 795 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 1: can they follow you?
