And you need to know that we've been prepping for this interview for 13 00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:58,799 a couple of weeks now, and I have been giggling so much because of 14 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,439 your name, because it is who I am as a person, and so 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,239 I was so worried that you wouldn't that you'd be like offended and not willing 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,200 to play with us about that. But you're a sailor, and I can't 17 00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:14,680 imagine that I am going to set off any feelings of offense because I find 18 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,719 your name so amusing. No, it's fine again, It's not just the 19 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,480 name is more of a title kind of kidding. You've got you've got I'm 20 00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:25,719 sure you've got that.

But my men made 26 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:47,000 that stencil of me in Iraq, and they spray painted all over the tea 27 00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:49,920 balls along the road, and so we're driving, I'm like, it's not 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,879 the vehicle.

Okay, so you're running for Senate. You there's a lot of 65 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,400 people in your primary, so talk about your competition, not just in the 66 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,599 primary, but then you know, Tim Kaine has been sort of an unfortunate 67 00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:14,879 fixture in the Virginia Senate for a long time. So what's your strategy to 68 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,480 beat all the people that you're in the primary with and then ultimately to tackle 69 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,319 the big beast. So last year when I retired, I retired in twenty 70 00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:25,680 twenty one. I had just come back off khanstand and you know, it 71 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,600 was pretty I mean, I don't want to say like it was safe. 72 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,079 It's not like walking downtown Indiana or something like that, you know, but 73 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,199 it was it was manageable. And then six months later, Joe Biden caused 74 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,040 Afghanistan fall and it's very similar to what happened to Vietnam, watching mother's hand 75 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:44,879 babies to Marines. And so that's why I ran for the US Congress in 76 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:49,079 this very blue, very very suburban district. It's Loudon County, and I'm 77 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:53,519 sure you've heard of it, because they that's attacking the parents, right, 78 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:57,079 I mean, they were trying to label them as the bestic terrorists. They 79 00:04:57,079 --> 00:05:01,639 were actually hiring a hacker to go into the website of the search engines for 80 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,160 parents who questioned CRT and redirect them. And so this is where I was 81 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,279 running. And we you know, we in that primary. We had eleven 82 00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:13,720 people, and I came in late, and people were saying, Hey, 83 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,839 you're gonna be you know, radioactive. No one's gonna touch you. You're 84 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:20,040 going against these people that are established in the Republican You need to pay your 85 00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:24,399 dues. I'm like, pay my dues. I'm like, you don't think 86 00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:27,560 you know, twenty five years of fighting in the front lines is enough. 87 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,839 And so we won that primary with overwhelming majority. Like with eleven people, 88 00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:35,480 I got fifty three percent of the votes, and then thirty three The next 89 00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:39,199 person behind me had thirty three percent, and then so on and so forth. 90 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,680 And so I tell people I'm not running against them, We're running in 91 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680 the same direction. And I just happened to cross the finish line or faster. 92 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,439 And likewise, in this race, there's a lot of candidates out there, 93 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:55,800 absolutely, I mean a lot of I want to say perennial candidates, 94 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,000 as you know, you know, people that just will run for everything under 95 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240 the SU but none of them have the name brand I had, And so 96 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,199 this is where God comes in there. Like I was, I was really 97 00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:10,560 disappointed obviously not winning last time. But if I had one, I would 98 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,360 be fighting those angry leftists every day in Loudon County. But if I hadn't 99 00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:16,439 run, I wouldn't have the name brand to run now. I mean, 100 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:19,800 people know me all over the state already, and we've only been in this 101 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,160 race for two months. Uh, and so that's that's our our goal is 102 00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:30,279 just go go forward for this primary. We're going to go forward and and 103 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,279 and conquer. And I mean I've already raised more money than all of them 104 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:38,560 combined, you know, if you add all the money that they've they've you 105 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,920 know, raised, I mean that's you know, money is not the only 106 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,279 thing. That's the only metric that we have right now. I love your 107 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:49,839 story and the whole your family escaping communism in nineteen seventy five mock and Miriam 108 00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:56,160 has her family has a similar story because her parents and she wrote about it 109 00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:00,319 in our book about her parents escaping you know, communist poll and so there's 110 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,800 like a lot of similarities there, which I think is really interesting. But 111 00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:09,000 I imagine that you look at the world differently than a lot of people do 112 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,319 nowadays, that you don't take it for granted. You don't look at you 113 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:14,560 don't look at our country the way that a lot of people do. You 114 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,040 don't take it for granted. Just you know. I actually I do a 115 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,959 segment on our show. It's called Daisy Sackle Wags, Like it's not really 116 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,319 a segment, but just a little part of our show. And the other 117 00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:30,040 day I talked about how Americans were asked like what their favorite country was, 118 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:40,199 and America isn't people's It isn't americans favorite country. Americans don't love America anymore. 119 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,959 In fact, it wasn't even second. America is their third favorite country, 120 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,000 which is completely whacked to me. And I think a lot of that 121 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,399 is being taught in our schools. It's just like ingrained in people's brains that 122 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,639 America sucks. Like people just don't love America anymore, which is so disheartening 123 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,120 me because thirty years ago, twenty years ago, when I was growing up, 124 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:05,040 I would have absolutely thought that America is the best place on earth. 125 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:07,360 I still do. It's the best place on earth and so and that's how 126 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,120 you know my kids believe too. So I look at you and you know 127 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,040 and your family escaping communism? Can you speak to that a little bit? 128 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:20,439 Like how if you are put into office, what would how how do we 129 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,360 get back on track as Americans? How do we get back on track as 130 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:28,879 a country to make people love this country again and to feel that patriotism and 131 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,120 to feel love for America again. The first thing they need to do is 132 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,960 to travel. That's agree they travel and they see how how it is in 133 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,799 these other countries. And I'm not talking about I'm not talking about France or 134 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,919 England and stuff like that. I mean it's still even when you go over 135 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,200 there, you'll realize that you can't buy gas at lunch time, right because 136 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,840 everybody takes a nap during lunch, that you can't really buy anything from noon 137 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:56,799 to three, So that you to begin with. But look, I we 138 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:01,840 came over nothing like you know in nineteen seven five. My mom was in 139 00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:05,759 April seventy five, my mom was sewing little notes into our clothes saying, 140 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:07,320 this is my son, Please take care of him because in case we get 141 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,440 separated. Because they don't know, they didn't know what was going to happen. 142 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,399 They didn't know if the Americans were going to take all their kids or 143 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,320 some of their kids, or you know, who would you leave behind. 144 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,759 And that was the fear that that went not into my parents' minds, you 145 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:24,440 know. But by the grace of God, we all came over here, 146 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,159 and we came over here. And then I my dad could not find work 147 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:31,679 over here. So his friends said, hey, if you go to the 148 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,360 third world country and help develop it, because he was the deputy administer of 149 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,960 agriculture in Vietnam, you know, you could make a good living for your 150 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,679 own self. So I grew up in West Africa, in Niger, you 151 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,600 know, in the sub Saharan desert. And if you want to see poverty, 152 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,960 you've never seen poverty like you've seen in Africa, where you know, 153 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,600 there they live in mud huts where they have to walk miles just to get 154 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,240 water, and you know, it's it's hard, it's difficult. And so 155 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,039 until you've lived in those places and actually seen them, you won't appreciate this 156 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:11,279 country. And I think we shouldn't encourage young young Americans to do missions trips 157 00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:13,799 or you know, and you don't know what you want to do, join 158 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,919 the Peace Corps. Join the military, see the world, and then you'll 159 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,440 appreciate what America is in all its gifts, because again, I don't want 160 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,120 my kids to wake up one day without a country to call their own or 161 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,480 flag to stand under, and without America, there's nowhere else to run to. 162 00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:31,399 Everybody runs here because it is amazing. You're right, yeah, well, 163 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,240 and we have, like Daisy said, we have a similar background. 164 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:37,240 In fact, both of our dads went to Cornell for their PhDs. So 165 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,399 it's that was fascinating for me to read that about you, because I was 166 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,679 wondering, well, I wonder how old his dad is and if they were 167 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,679 like around at the same time and that so it's I think as a as 168 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:54,639 a first generation American, I feel this so much that that we have more 169 00:10:54,759 --> 00:11:01,440 of an appreciation for America and we feel more patriotic for it then so many 170 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,799 kids who were born here that just don't have that experience with their parents coming 171 00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:13,960 from really awful circumstances as an escape to this country and doing it the legal 172 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:18,600 way, right, And so it's infuriating to see so many people just busting 173 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,440 through our borders right now, hating the country that they're coming to and demanding 174 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,399 all of this free stuff. It's just remarkable. And I wonder if you 175 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,879 feel that too, that it's that that first generation Americans and immigrants tend to 176 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:37,879 have more love of country than people who are born here. Yes, I 177 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,320 see that. So Northern Virginia, of all places, which is the most 178 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:43,759 you know, when you look at the the voting thing, you know, 179 00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:48,240 it's read everywhere except for for DC and Richmond. Well the DC area, 180 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,360 and so the Northern Virginia is really called it, we call it DC area. 181 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,600 But there's a lot of immigrants here, a lot of them, and 182 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,440 they all shared the same values. We all came here for opportunities, and 183 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,559 we're seeing that opportunity being being wasted away or everybody just wants things handed to 184 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,799 them. And as for the border, that is a national security issue. 185 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,200 We're not talking about you know, people from Mexico coming in. We last 186 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,679 week or yesterday they reported hundreds of Senegalese people from Senegal. Right, there's 187 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,440 there's people from Syria, from Somalia, from China, military age males from 188 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:26,720 China. I mean, it's like finding a little turtle on the fence, 189 00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:28,159 folks. Right, he didn't get there by himself. So how did they 190 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,039 get there because none of those countries are in the southern border. And when 191 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:33,759 they come across the southern board like that, what else did they bring in 192 00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:39,360 with them? Fetball and everything else? In two thousand five January two thousand 193 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,000 and five, I was on at the border in El Centro, California with 194 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:48,360 the FBI searching for a nuclear weapon that we believe was being smuggled across the 195 00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:52,399 border by three Chinese scientists this two five, and so what else is coming 196 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:56,279 across our border that's there to harm us? And so we need to be 197 00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:01,360 you know, we need to secure our country. The purpose of federal gunman 198 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,600 is to provide for the common defense right and promote the absolutely and they're not 199 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:07,799 doing that. And Joe Biden is derelict than that. And that's why we 200 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,080 need a strong legislative branch to hold the executive branch accountable. Yeah, I'm 201 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,759 in Texas. I feel that. I totally, I totally feel it. 202 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:18,080 So, you know, I have to go take a trip at the end 203 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,840 of the month, which is just like an overnight trip. But here's the 204 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:26,320 thing. I have to pack my pillow towel in my suitcase, in my 205 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,519 tiny little suitcase. Because if there's one thing I hate, it is hotel 206 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,759 towels. I hate it because they're not thirsty. The my pillow towels are 207 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:35,759 something about them that they are like super thirsty and they they're soft, but 208 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,559 yet they actually absorb water because you know how like the hotel towels are slimy. 209 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,480 Like there's something I don't know what it is about my pillow towels, 210 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:48,759 but they're like the best, most awesome towels that you will never have a 211 00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:54,320 towel like the my pillow towel. And they're thick without being like ridiculous. 212 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,600 Yes, they're just they're I don't know what the technology is that makes them 213 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:05,559 so a sorbent and yet also soft without being lotiony and slimmy. It's it's 214 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:11,159 lindelology, is what it is. It is Lindell magic Man, and he 215 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,200 puts that magic into every single product and somehow makes like the best sheets, 216 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,639 the best towels, the best robes, the best pillows, all of it. 217 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,120 Right now, the six pack towel set, which is normally eighty bucks, 218 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,159 is now less than forty when you use code chicks at my pillow dot 219 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,639 com slash shit deal.

They will thank you my 225 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:58,759 pillow dot com slash so on the you know, when talking about defense, 226 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720 you served in the military, obviously, how do you feel about the state 227 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,799 of the military right now? Because you know, we do a lot of 228 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,960 stories on our show every single morning, and well, you know, we'll 229 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,080 talk about all this d I stuff in the military and lgbtq I x y 230 00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:15,679 Z, element of P stuff in the military, all this stuff in the 231 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,200 military, and we're like, but are we safe? You know, how 232 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,320 are we doing safety? Wys? Do we really feel like we're okay? 233 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,240 I mean, are we okay? Military? How do you feel about the 234 00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,360 military right now? Now that you're looking at it kind of objectively from the 235 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,639 outside in, We do need to focus back on the basics, and I 236 00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,960 think the service that does out the best is the Marine Corps. The one 237 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,519 service that's not hurting and recruiting is the United States Marine Corps. And the 238 00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:41,360 prospective again he's not been confirmed, so like, I don't want to screw 239 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,639 him up. But now Eric Smith is the Assistant common on Marine Corps. 240 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,519 He's been nominated to be the common on Marine Corps and he's he's been doing 241 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,519 fantastic things and he said, look, the nature of warfare has changed, 242 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,799 but the nature of the warrior has not. And so the Marine Corps continues 243 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:03,840 to attract people that are patriotic and want to serve this country and put their 244 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,159 life on the line for it. The other service is unfortunately, like my 245 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:10,679 Navy, they they're contracting on the wrong thing. I mean, we had 246 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,320 a drag queen, you know, that's our core, our bud light moment, 247 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,960 right, hiring a drag queen to advocate for military it's the wrong thing. 248 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,559 We want to attract the alpha males and alpha females, and they're they're 249 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:26,039 contracting on the wrong demographic here. And that's where the recruitment has gone down 250 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,919 because of the woke ideology. Now is the essence of the military person is 251 00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:34,480 still the same absolutely, they're still patriots. They want to serve. My 252 00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:37,519 son is at the Naval a cabinet right now. He wants to serve, 253 00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:42,080 and so we need to encourage that in our youth. And look, there's 254 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:47,600 no better military than the United States military, and we are We will survive, 255 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,679 you know, we just need to get rid of some of these people 256 00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:52,720 like Mark Milly. He just needs to go away. You don't quite bad, 257 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,039 just go away because he's hurting our military. And Senator Sullaville is getting 258 00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:00,919 a lot of flak because he's holding up about two hundred and fifty flag officer 259 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,000 and General Loscer promotions. But it's because they're breaking the law. Right, 260 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:07,599 it's the law, says the High Memory says, you can't use federal funding 261 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,599 for abortions. And what they're people like Mark Milly, who likes to wear 262 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,880 more makeup than you ladies do. Milly is saying that, hey, we 263 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,359 can take the TDY funds, the temporary duty funds to send them to states 264 00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:29,079 to do abortions. Well that's illegal. And what that does also a weeks 265 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,799 in the military weakens the military. As a commander, I won't have so 266 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,920 much money for for for travel, for my soldier sailors Aaron the Marines, 267 00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,119 and I use that money to send them to schools so they can better themselves 268 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,680 and get promoted. But now we're using that money to send somebody to get 269 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,240 get an abortion, and that's wrong, and that's that breaks the law and 270 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:52,359 that's against the law. And so they can stop all this this hold up 271 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,839 by just saying, sir, you know we won't do that, because you 272 00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:59,880 know, the military is here to defend democracy, not to practice it. 273 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,799 So you mentioned your son. I know you've got five kids. What are 274 00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:08,079 their ages? And how is your entire family reacting to your run and your 275 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,039 campaign and what this could mean if you win. Oh gosh, So my 276 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,920 son is Uh is twenty, he's he's our oldest. And we we adopted 277 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:22,519 a beautiful girl from Thailand. She's she's almost eighteen, so you know, 278 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:30,559 she knows everything, and so well, twin twin girls are returning twelve this 279 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:33,759 week. And then uh, and then I don't know this, this kid 280 00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:36,319 from this five year old kid popped out of nowhere. I don't know how 281 00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:40,039 all I did was and then you know, next you know, he popped 282 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,079 up. And so we have five children who are who are very excited. 283 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,720 You know, again, they know they know sacrifice, right, They've they've 284 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:52,000 endured deployments, and this is like a long extended deployment. My my oldest 285 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:56,960 son, My wife was pregnant with my oldest she was nine months pregnant with 286 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:00,359 him when I deployed to Vada, Iraq. And it was hard. It's 287 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,200 hard on our family, I mean because we were expecting forty percent casualties. 288 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,359 So I had to write him a letter of saying, this is my son, 289 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,279 not my son, this is you know, son, you're turning your 290 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,119 ten years old. You're double digits. Now son, you're you're you're thirteen, 291 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,039 you're a teenager. Now son, you're sixteen, you're about to drive 292 00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:19,359 a car, you're eighteen, you're a man. I had to write these 293 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,759 letters to him in case I didn't come back. And that's what sacrifice it 294 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:27,960 is, right, we we we sacrifice, and our our family unfortunately pays 295 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:33,160 the hardest price for this. And but it's they know what why I did 296 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,240 it, and likewise now they know why why I'm doing this. Also, 297 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,720 I'm doing this for them and not for myself or anything like that. You 298 00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:45,759 mentioned that I have a very good job right now, And why would I 299 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,759 want to leave, you know, a job like that for for something that 300 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:52,759 pays significantly less. But it's not about money. It's I've never been It's 301 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,119 never been about money for me or else I would have gotten on the military 302 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,200 long time ago. Right, It's it's about service and we have to fight 303 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:03,880 for this country because there's nowhere else to go. Amen. Yeah, well 304 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,480 you're the ad. I should let everybody listening know that you have just a 305 00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:15,440 phenomenal campaign ad that's at the top of your Twitter account that I posted in 306 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,240 our in some of our social media groups yesterday asking people to watch it and 307 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,799 then let us know what they wanted us to ask you today. And interestingly, 308 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,839 there were no questions but a billion comments of people saying, I want 309 00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:33,319 to move to Virginia just so I can vote for him. So I wanted 310 00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:37,440 to I wanted to congratulate you on what was clearly a very effective ad and 311 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,079 it's it's make it's definitely getting a lot of attention, as it should because 312 00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:45,920 it's you're making a very strong case for why you're running and why the country 313 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,480 is so important to you and the things that are going wrong. So one 314 00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:55,119 criticism I saw of that ad and not from any of our audience. But 315 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,480 like the I think on Twitter, was it somebody said, Okay, you 316 00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:03,839 spent three minutes talking about what's wrong, What specifically are you going to do 317 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,359 to make things better? So how would you answer that? Oh, that's 318 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,200 great, that's again a lot of our issues and paper. You know, 319 00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:11,599 people say say, oh, you didn't say this. You say, if 320 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,599 they go on to hung forba dot com, they'll see all the issues pages 321 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,400 at the bottom right. But really we need to constantly on defense. Right. 322 00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:22,400 Starts with we need to defend our streets. We need to support the 323 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,599 law enforcement. We need to defend this country by by strengthening the border. 324 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,960 And then we need a strong military to to thwart off this uh, you 325 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,559 know, the impending threats from China, Russia. I ran in North Korea 326 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,279 and because they're all they're all swarming at us right now from all directions. 327 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:44,839 And then the second thing is economy. We need to strengthen our economy. 328 00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:48,319 This is the only way to lift our country out of you know, out 329 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,240 of the problems we have right now. We need we need to be energy 330 00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:55,480 to independent, right and just a diversity and energy. Also we need to 331 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,119 look at, uh, you know, besides opening up the Keystone pipeline and 332 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,920 and unlocking what Biden just did with the Alaska pipeline, but also look at 333 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,079 the other means of energy. I mean, everybody pushes solar and wind, 334 00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,599 but what happens when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't come out right? 335 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:18,000 And then also we need to look at nuclear power. Nuclear power is 336 00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:22,880 really one of those things that is safe. It's clean. I mean, 337 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,440 people just get freaked out, but we've been using it safely in the United 338 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,759 States need for for seventy five years. To power our nuclear aircraft carrier, 339 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,680 six thousand Americans are on board every day and we're safe on board, and 340 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,119 it generates so much energy that you can power the entire city with just the 341 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,559 reactors on board a carrier. So imagine small modular reactors where we can actually 342 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,480 export energy. And know this part is kind of like far fetched for people 343 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:52,079 to understand, but imagine a small modular reactor in I don't know, say 344 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,240 Texas, and we export that energy. We export the energy to, say 345 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,559 Mexico, and we say, look, if you don't secure this border, 346 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,480 we're going to shut off the power, you know, and A, we 347 00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:07,799 can make money from them. Uh, you know, but b what do 348 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,880 you think they're gonna want. They're gonna want energy, you know, cheap, 349 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,400 cheaper energy. And that's the way to control a border without without really 350 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,839 doing a lot of other unnecessary things. That is super interesting. I don't 351 00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:25,119 think it's far fetched at all. I think it's awesome. Imagine that we 352 00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:29,680 put energy into Mexico. Now, people don't have to flood across here. 353 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,079 They're gonna stay because they can. They can have businesses, they can have 354 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,640 industry also. But really, we have to shore American energy first before we 355 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,960 do that. I mean, that's that's ten fifteen years from now. But 356 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,440 what better way to secure the border than to to really hold hold the keys 357 00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:48,039 to their their kingdom in terms of energy. Yeah, I love it. 358 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:55,000 Yeah. And economy also depends on lifting all this regulations that that are binding 359 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:59,440 American businesses. Why are we taxing the American business? And not only that, 360 00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,599 why is it being done by unelected officials. I would love to propose 361 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,440 a bill that any new regulation put out by say, Department Energy, Department 362 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,079 of Labor, Department of the EPA, all this stuff only has a three 363 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,799 year shelf life. With two possible extensions, and that's it, because then 364 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,119 it will last to an entire eight year presidency. But after that it must 365 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:26,640 go to Congress as a law, because we can't hold the American people hostage 366 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,200 by unelected officials. And so if it's important to be enough to be a 367 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,920 law, then it needs to go to Congress to become a law. And 368 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,599 the last part is innovation. Right, we need to innovate our country and 369 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,960 we need to make it. And the innovation begins with education. We need 370 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,119 an educated country and not just one size fits all. We need to look 371 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,279 at technical education, vocational schools. Basically, in Virginia we have the largest 372 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:56,400 shipyards in America, which is in Norfolk. We also have the largest naval 373 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,480 base. We also have Norfolk Southern, which is one the key railroads. 374 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,079 How do you think we move all that that the goods across the nations through 375 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,200 railroads. So and then not only that, the coal mining down in southwestern 376 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:11,480 Virginia. I mean you need coal to make steal. People want to build 377 00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:15,400 all these structures, Well, you need steal, and to get steal, 378 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,359 you need coal because it burns hotter than anything else. And the BTU from 379 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,400 that you know expands out so you and then also ninety percent of the data 380 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:29,279 centers reside in Virginia. So we have this technology base that we can send 381 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,480 kids to vocational schools where they can learn learn the trade, and then go 382 00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:37,079 work at shipyards, go work at railroads, go work at data centers. 383 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:41,599 I mean, this is how we make America better because we you know, 384 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,480 the richest people I know are electricians, plumbers, you know, technical skills 385 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,359 of car mechanics, because when your car breaks down, you're not gonna go 386 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,960 shop around. You're gonna you want that car fixed so you can go to 387 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,119 work. And so this is exactly what we need in America right now. 388 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,759 So the innovation begins with a diversity and education. Also, what do we 389 00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,079 all always say is the best thing about Birch Gold? What do they do 390 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,039 better than any other gold company out there? Educate? Yes, I got 391 00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:12,880 it right, I got it right. I knew you wouldn't. It's true. 392 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,400 And right now, when the world is so crazy and the dollar is 393 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,720 getting weakened because of bricks and all of that stuff, this is a really 394 00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:23,599 really important time, more so probably than any other time in history for people 395 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:30,960 to understand why gold might work for them and gold iras specifically. So one 396 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,680 thing that I don't think we've mentioned about Birch Gold is that they are a 397 00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:38,720 plus rated with the Better Business Bureau. There are so many gold companies out 398 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,880 there. I know everybody sees the commercials all over Fox. They're constant, 399 00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:45,839 right, and so people are probably like, how am I supposed to choose? 400 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,680 There's so many gold companies. Well, it's like we've said, it's 401 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,200 like you just said, Birch Gold. There's no one better at educating people 402 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,960 on how to invest in gold iras than Birch Gold. There's no one better 403 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,039 at educating people just about investing precious medals in general. Then for people don't 404 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:07,079 understand it, it's like it's they don't cloud. Nobody understands the cloudbody understand 405 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:10,799 nobody understands gold. And so they will teach you about gold. They'll teach 406 00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:14,440 you, They really will. And it makes so much sense because I it 407 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,119 was like way over my head before and once they sent their free information kit, 408 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,400 which you can get if you just text the word chicks to nine eight 409 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,000 nine eight nine eight, they'll send you the same information kit. It's just 410 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:29,440 so easy to digest and understand. And then there's no obligation like if you 411 00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,160 if you think it's not for you or it's not the right time, that's 412 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,480 fine. Now you've been educated for free. Congrats. You don't have to 413 00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:37,960 do anything. But if you do get educated and then you think okay, 414 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,319 wow, then Birch Gold has this fantastic service rating with the Better Business Bureau. 415 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,119 They know how to do this better than anyone. It's why Ron Paul 416 00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:49,720 is one of their endorsers. So take it from Ron, take it from 417 00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:53,440 us. We really believe in them because they've been so good at educating text 418 00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:57,920 chicks to nine eight ninety eight nine eight and learn all about investing in gold. 419 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,039 Thank you so much for your service, first of all, first and 420 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,319 foremost, and thank you for wanting to do this. We wish you the 421 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:11,039 best of success and like huge wishes that if you win, you stay out 422 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:18,119 of the swamp, that you are able to to to serve with integrity and 423 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,920 stay out of the swamp, because we know far too many people with great 424 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,319 intentions who go in and get sucked into that dirty, dirty place. It's 425 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,240 just an awful hot time. I took Teata radioactivity right. So so there's 426 00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:36,160 three things that that support. That's that that keeps you from from keeps you 427 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,240 safe when you're dealing with nuclear power, is time, distance and shielding right. 428 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,640 So time on target. You don't want to stay there too long. 429 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,519 And good thing. I live in Virginia, I'm an hour away. I'll 430 00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,200 go home to my family every day. I'll go home to my home state. 431 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,440 I'll go home to my constituents every day. Distance again, stay as 432 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,720 far away from from from DC as possible when when you can. And then 433 00:28:56,759 --> 00:29:00,400 shielding right. I have my shield of faith and that's what's going to keep 434 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,759 me true and uh, you know, keep keeping my focus on God at 435 00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:07,200 all time times. Yeah, I think that that's great. Yeah. I 436 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:11,960 feel like I feel like you're going to probably be okay. I really do. 437 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:14,839 We've we've been and listen. I mean, the ad that you put 438 00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:17,880 out, the most recent one was awesome. We've been putting your ads on 439 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,160 our site for months now, and so we've been following you and we're really 440 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,000 excited and man, we wish you the best, we really do. I 441 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,559 we're very excited about this one. It's just nice to see a fighter, 442 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,160 which we need more fighters like you, good hearted fighters, and so we're 443 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,480 just excited to see you out there, and I just I hope you win. 444 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,319 I really do. We'll be pulling for you. We'll just want fighters, 445 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,200 right, I mean, Tim Kane. I didn't answer your very first 446 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,079 question. It was like, how do you go and see Tim Kane? 447 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,039 He's never won a race on his own. He's always had to be pulled 448 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:48,240 up by the bootstraps. He was pulled up as a lieutenant governor by Mark 449 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,200 Warner, then as again as governors by Mark Warner when Mark Warner left because 450 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,599 of you know, term limits, and then he was supposed to be Barack 451 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,039 Obama's running me in two thous but he was so terrible as a governor that 452 00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:07,240 who he was passed over for Joe Biden, Like, imagine that how bad 453 00:30:07,279 --> 00:30:14,000 you have to be that you're now right exactly remembers him. The only people 454 00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:18,240 thing people remember about him in Virginia is he was stuck on ninety five during 455 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,680 a snowstorm with a bottle of doctor pepper. That's all that's all that remember 456 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,240 about Tim k He's just I mean, he is a goofy dude. So 457 00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:29,759 I mean, I just we wish you all the best, and we're going 458 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:32,680 to try our best to get the word out about you everybody that we know 459 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,240 that lives in that area, which is everybody we can about you, and 460 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,880 we just we hope you win. We really, we really do. Yeah 461 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,640 for VA dot com and you'll you'll find all. But I know, for 462 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,720 all the people. Oh, how's he gonna do that? I can't fit 463 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:48,799 that in the commercial. I can't. I can't read my whole bile as 464 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:51,799 the commercial. And so go to home for Via dot com and you'll see 465 00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:52,680 everything is perfectly
