In his powerful second appearance on The Dave Carter Show, Panama City native and leading Republican candidate Keith Gross joins Dave for a no-holds-barred conversation about his bid to represent Florida’s 2nd Congressional District. A self-made businessman, attorney, and U.S. Army National Guard veteran, Keith is funding his own campaign and has boldly pledged to donate his entire congressional salary to local private charities if elected. This move severs the financial puppet strings that control so many in Washington and at home, ensuring he answers only to the people of the Florida Panhandle—not special interests in D.C. or the local good ol’ boys network.

Keith shares his common-sense America First vision on the issues that matter most: securing the border and enforcing immigration laws, restoring American energy independence, fighting inflation and skyrocketing costs, reducing crime, and putting working families first. As a proven job creator who rose from a single-parent home through grit and entrepreneurship, he stands with the 80% of voters who are tired of politics as usual. With the August 18, 2026 primary approaching and strong polling numbers against a crowded field, this episode dives deep into why Keith represents a genuine threat to the old order.

Plus, don’t miss the hilarious comedy commercial for The American Suppress Card — the ultimate tool for silencing common sense! Whether you’re in Florida’s Panhandle or anywhere fed up with career politicians, this episode delivers straight talk, laughs, and real solutions from a candidate who has lived the American Dream and is ready to fight for yours.

Rip up the engine, feel.

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.800
The green on a shake from the base to the

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.119
basis that weed's sake.

4
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.399
Meet Dave Carter, a veteran of the fight Swamp dog

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.600
tags for a mic, chasing stories in the night once

6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.000
and eight see and Wheeler rolling down those flowing rooms.

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.679
Now we're spending tails like a rock star unload from

8
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.679
Lousyanna swamps to the distance towards of duty.

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.159
He's kind of cranky humor with the touch of raw beauty,

10
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.520
steering through the memories both the dark and bight.

11
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.520
With left her as his compass.

12
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:45.759
He'll cut it through.

13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.880
The date on the day of show where the story's

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.399
flow from battlefields highways.

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.200
It's a wild loadio with the hard coverage and a

16
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:56.920
grin on his face to.

17
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.280
Think you want a journey through time and say.

18
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.319
I'm Dave Carter and we are broadcasting from home base

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.680
here on Florida's Emerald Coast in the Panama City Panama

20
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.719
City Beach area. My wife and I just got back

21
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.359
from a trip to the home country back in Louisiana.

22
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.239
It was a good, good time to recharge, visit with

23
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.599
mom and sis and all the kids, a lot of kids.

24
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.239
It was great to do that, and it's great to

25
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.239
be back all charged and radio. You know, I've noticed

26
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.120
when I'm back home, Keith, you're listening into this. But

27
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.840
when I've noticed whenever I'm home, if I go back

28
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.799
to places that I'm really familiar with and kind of Acadiana,

29
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.519
the Heart, Accage and Country and rain Brobridge, Lafayette, places

30
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.319
like that, if I'm there for more than ten minutes,

31
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.480
my accent comes back, and I sound like a bowl

32
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.480
of gumbo. Oh, we're gonna we're gonna have a good time.

33
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.319
Was we're gonna mess around and we have we have

34
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.799
a party. He has some gumboat a balaya. Oh we're

35
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.000
gonna pass a good time, and I sound like that

36
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.200
without realizing it. Anyway, Guys, it's great to be back

37
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.000
in the driver's seat here on the day of Carter program,

38
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.120
and great to be back for some truly compelling conversation

39
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.920
with great minds and interesting personalities. And our guest today

40
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.319
has both of those qualities in spades. Keith Gross is

41
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:10.919
coming up.

42
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:20.639
No safe spaces, no sacred cows, just straight talk and

43
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.960
savage labs. Welcome to the Dave Carter Show.

44
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.479
So a couple of months back, we spoke with mister

45
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.199
Keith Grosse, who is running to replace retiring Congressman Neil

46
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.240
Dunn in the US House Representatives, where he will be

47
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.960
representing Florida second Congressional district. He was raised here in

48
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.479
the Panama City area in a single parent household. He

49
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.199
literally put himself through college, law school, became a successful

50
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.360
businessman and business owner, and now he's running to unapologetically

51
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.439
represent regular folks here in the Florida Panhandle. And he

52
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.919
joins us now, good morning, mister Gross, Good morning, Dave.

53
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:54.439
God to be with you.

54
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.039
That's great to have you here. You're and thanks for

55
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.120
taking time to talk with us. You're a busy guy.

56
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.319
You got my attention last time we talked, which was

57
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.680
also the first time that we talked. When you explain

58
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.840
that you're self funding your campaign, there aren't any moneyed

59
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.360
interests funding you, so there's no puppet strings or anything

60
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.680
like that. And you pledged to donate your congressional salary

61
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.039
should you win, to local charities, which essentially means that

62
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.159
you can't be bought, which is kind of an anomaly.

63
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.840
Right now, I've seen you on billboards, commercial advertisement, social media.

64
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.159
You're on ex Facebook, airport, radar, sonograms, and I even

65
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.479
think I saw your likeness on a piece of toast recently.

66
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.120
So you must be exhausted, man, How you holding up

67
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:36.560
through all this?

68
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.680
You know, we're definitely staying busy. But I have the

69
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.800
drive to do this. I mean, I've gone from nothing

70
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.159
to building national companies, and the sort of drive it

71
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.120
takes to do that is the same sort of drive

72
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.759
it takes to zealously represent such a large district. You know,

73
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.599
the sixteen counties stretches, you know, more than three hours

74
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.759
driving time if you're driving from one end to the other,

75
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.840
and so trying to be everywhere is certainly a lot

76
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.039
of time and effort, but it's worth it because you know,

77
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.840
we deserve good representation here in the Panhandle. I can't

78
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.800
fix everything wrong in Washington, but I can lead by example.

79
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.000
And that's why I'm self funding. That's why I'm donating

80
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.160
my salary because I think if we had five hundred

81
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.439
and thirty five people in our Congress in Washington that

82
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.199
would all do the same thing. Imagine how much better

83
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.519
our country would look. So I'm going to do my

84
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:25.800
part and lead by example.

85
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.639
I love it. I love it. Now. I asked this

86
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.959
question of our mutual friend Brian Rust about his campaign.

87
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.360
So I'll ask this question to you. When you're talking

88
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.879
with voters and hearing their ideas and concerns, Well, I mean,

89
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.920
what are their concerns. What kinds of things are they

90
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.680
specifically asking you to address if elected?

91
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.680
Well, I think the biggest thing that's hitting all of

92
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.959
us across the board is costs. Affordability is a problem

93
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.279
for most families here in the northern part of Florida,

94
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:53.800
but also.

95
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:54.519
Across the nation.

96
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.759
You know, the cost of goods has gone up dramatically,

97
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.920
the cost of fuel, groceries, you name it, think cost more.

98
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.759
Wages haven't gone up as fast as costs have gone up.

99
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.079
And that sort of imbalance has been accelerating for decades,

100
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.600
stretching back to the nineteen seventies when we opened our

101
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.959
borders to China and really expanding since then. The offshoring

102
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.680
of American jobs is killed American manufacturing and that's led

103
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.079
to slow wage growth. Couple that with massive spending in

104
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.319
DC which has led to massive inflation, and you've got

105
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.639
the perfect storm. And we're living through that perfect storm

106
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.399
right now, where wages are low and costs are high.

107
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.639
The thing that we need to change quickly is the

108
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.000
spending in DC, because that's what's driving inflation. We also,

109
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.959
of course have to work to rebalance decades of bad

110
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.759
foreign trade policy. President Trump's doing a lot of that

111
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.879
right now. I mean, we don't like tariffs, No one

112
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.519
likes paying tariffs, But what other tools are in the

113
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.199
toolbox to rebalance for in trade when you're dealing with

114
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.720
adversarial nations like China that back their industries with state dollars.

115
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.959
Well, and tariff's also helped that. And Trump is has

116
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.759
a big, given masterclass in this is tariffs can be

117
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.439
used on the foreign policy front as well to coerce

118
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.120
if you will, no to incentivize that's a better word,

119
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.639
various competitors to behave, and on the international scene as well.

120
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.560
Absolutely, I mean it's saved a lot of effort, a

121
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.800
lot of time, and it's probably saved us some armed

122
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.160
conflicts that Trump is so willing to use tariffs for

123
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.040
the benefit of the American people. And that's what it

124
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.399
all boils down to. We need more people who can't

125
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.879
be bought. You know, President Trump donates his salary. He

126
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.480
can't be bought. He's not there for the money. He's

127
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.040
put to the point where he could comfortably retire, but

128
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.600
he goes to work every day, working for the American

129
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.959
people because he believes in our nation. I think if

130
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.000
everybody woke up in the morning in DC and did

131
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.839
the same thing, we would live in a better world.

132
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.959
On that note, let's talk a few issues for just

133
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:50.800
a moment, and then we'll wind our way back to

134
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.759
the nuts and bolts of the campaign itself. Every now

135
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.120
and then, out of mainly on my part, morbid curiosity,

136
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.639
I'll listen to the prevailing narrative coming from legacy media.

137
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.920
I call it a masochistic street, but I'll listen. I

138
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.560
know that they're horribly disconnected from mainstream American opinion. But

139
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.839
since you're in daily contact with a huge swath of

140
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.120
mainstream American opinions, particularly here in the four Openian, he'll

141
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.120
ask you, is there any correlation at all between what

142
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.879
the folks are hearing from the legacy media and their

143
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.079
evening news and what they're actually saying to each other

144
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.800
into you in real life out on the trail.

145
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.480
Well, I think if you watch the news, you'd think

146
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.879
the whole world is in chaos. It's all burning down,

147
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.000
and you can't go to Walmart without getting shot. The

148
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.199
reality is America is a lot better than it looks

149
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.920
on the news. And also we're not as divided as

150
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.800
we seem to be on TV. You know, the far

151
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.040
left is crazy, and then that gets accelerated in the

152
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.480
news and amplified by the news media. Most Americans don't

153
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.519
believe in these Marxist communist ideas that have become the

154
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.360
basic talking point of every Democrat politician.

155
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.600
It seems most Americans in the middle.

156
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.519
You've got some people on each end of the spectrum,

157
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.600
on the left and the right, but eighty percent of

158
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.839
America lives somewhere in the middle where they just want

159
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.360
to live a comfortable life. They don't want the government

160
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.000
taking too much of their money. They don't want the

161
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.360
government wasting money or sending it off to Somali pirates

162
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.000
in Minneapolis. They want the government to do a good

163
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.160
job and stay out of our lives. And that's what

164
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.759
I'm hoping to achieve. Is my part in Congress has

165
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.160
helped to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.

166
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.759
Keep them out of our wallets, and keep them out

167
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.360
of our lives.

168
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.519
You know, the folks that you talk with each day.

169
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.080
Are they able to tell the difference between a temporary

170
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.480
spike in fuel prices the result of US denying nuclear

171
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.960
weapons to a rabid group of seventh century throwbacks in Iran,

172
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.840
and as opposed to the permanent spike in fuel prices

173
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.159
that resulted from the previous administrations having crippled America's energy production.

174
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.919
Listen to the legacy media, you'd think that distinction was

175
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.120
lost in the viility of public Let's say you, I.

176
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.960
Think most people, especially here in North Florida, back the

177
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.840
President's operation in Iran because we know that paying a

178
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.159
short term price to make sure that we don't have

179
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.320
people in Iran possessing nuclear weapons. They've clearly stated that

180
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.720
they wish to do harm to America them with a

181
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.159
nuclear weapon would not be a good idea, and it

182
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.000
would cost us trillions in the long run in extra defense.

183
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.879
I mean, look at all the extra defense we have

184
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.279
to do now, just because North Korea has a nuclear

185
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.919
weapon on the other side of the globe. We have

186
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.159
to spend untold dollars on missile interceptors and extra satellite systems,

187
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.879
all because of that one crazy person with a nuke.

188
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.600
The last thing we needed was another one. So President

189
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.840
Trump's doing what should have been done nearly fifty years ago.

190
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.639
He's solving the problem. And you know, short term pain

191
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.519
is certainly frustrating to many. I don't like seeing gas

192
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.639
prices and diesel prices, even as high as they are

193
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.159
right now. But I think we would all agree that

194
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.480
there's a price to pay, and if the price is

195
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.240
worth it, you pay it. In this case, almost any

196
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.919
price is worth depriving Iran of a nuclear weapon.

197
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.000
Well, yeah, I look what they've done without a nuclear way.

198
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.200
Look if they've flashed out at their friends or the

199
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.960
people their neighbors, at least regionally, with whatever they could

200
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.759
find to throw at them, and just a general tirade

201
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.159
it seems when everything started. So yeah, you imagine that

202
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.480
group I call them weird beards. Imagine those weird beards

203
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.799
with a nuke. Oh my gosh, it would be ridiculous.

204
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:21.399
Yeah, and it's it's sort of odd to see the

205
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:26.519
Left defend literally anyone but America. You know, they defend

206
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.320
Iranians and Palestinians and people that would certainly not do

207
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:34.159
kind things to most Americans. They oppress women, They oppress

208
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.720
pretty much everyone except the people that believe exactly as

209
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.240
they do. And to see the left come out and

210
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.919
support this is wild. It just makes no sense. I

211
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:44.879
never thought i'd live in a.

212
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:45.519
Time like this.

213
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.120
No, it's it's surreal, it's real. And on that point

214
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.679
of respect to the Democrat Party in the opposition, some

215
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.720
people have called it the AOC wing of the party,

216
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:58.360
a lot of Gadsad's formulation of her name Alexandra occasional cortex,

217
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.679
that wing of the party. It seems like it's an

218
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.440
entity into itself, but it looks increasing like it like

219
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.120
it's defining the party. My favorite Senator John Kennedy from

220
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.440
my homestate Louisiana, he recently heard a joke he told

221
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.919
us about AOC in which someone asked her if she's

222
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.240
a moron, and she said, no, she is not a moron.

223
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.159
And furthermore, she's never even been to Utah and is

224
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.200
not a part of that religion over there. But you

225
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.879
have to wonder about a party whose most enthusiastic members

226
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.720
literally staged a protest against ice agents and law enforcement

227
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.600
on a Memorial Day, right the day that we set

228
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.279
aside to honor our war dead, those who died defending

229
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.440
the nation. The other out there attacking people who are

230
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.000
defending the nation right now. I mean, do you have

231
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:45.879
any insight on that or with that would Coorp acquire

232
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.000
a lobotomy to figure it out? I'm not so sure

233
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.799
I want to undergo the surgical procedure.

234
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.600
You know, I think eighty percent of Americans don't understand

235
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.799
what's happened to the Democrat Party, including half the Democrats

236
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.799
now hold their nose and go with it. It seems

237
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.559
so they're definitely to blame and they're part of the problem.

238
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.799
But the left wing of the Democrat Party has taken over.

239
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.960
They've become a party that doesn't believe in American sovereignty.

240
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.759
As you pointed out, they protest the removal of people

241
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.519
who are internation illegally. They think anyone should be able

242
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.120
to come here. The only people that shouldn't have rights

243
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.200
are Americans. Apparently, the fact that we're doing a good job,

244
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.320
we're seeding that must mean that we're evil and all

245
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.519
of the underdogs who are failing in their home countries

246
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.120
should be able to invent here and take advantage of

247
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.720
all of our resources. It's an illogical and self destructive idea,

248
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.720
and we can't allow that to control the nation's future.

249
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.679
We've got to push back.

250
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.159
We've got to restore American values, save our country, or

251
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.159
we won't live in a country that looks anything like

252
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.399
the America we've grown up in.

253
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.679
I agree, and you may be in a position in

254
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.879
Congress to actually help out with that. On a focus

255
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.720
for just a moment. I know you're leading in the polls,

256
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.759
and I'm not going to ask you to start picking

257
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.840
out the drapes yet and deciding, you know, whether the

258
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:57.480
chairs and lamps and Doiley's are going to go.

259
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.440
But let's know, we don't pick our chickens, don't count

260
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.480
our chickens before they had exactly exactly.

261
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.519
But let's start with the GOP's favorite exercise, which, according

262
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.360
to Thomas Soul, is running for the hills when things

263
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.080
get tough. I remember in ninety four when new Gangrich

264
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.679
came in, was the congressman from Georgia at the time,

265
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.639
and he galvanized the Republican side of the aisle and

266
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.399
forged a majority and kind of a spinal infusion, if

267
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.639
you will, and got things done. Is is that kind

268
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.960
of approach still relevant today or something like that? Would

269
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:31.399
it work?

270
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.759
I think it could work. You know, his contract with

271
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.919
America was a great way to build a massive coalition

272
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.519
across party lines and get work done that both parties

273
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.360
believe in.

274
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.960
At least the bulk of both parties.

275
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.840
I think if you can pierce through the screeching of

276
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:52.360
the left wing of the Democrat Party and find reasonable Democrats,

277
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.399
people like Fetterman, who at least a lot of the

278
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.879
time seems reasonable, we could get things pushed through in

279
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.759
Congress that everybody agrees on. You know, like eighty something

280
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.679
percent of Americans believe in the Save America Act. They

281
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.360
believe there should be voter ID and proof of citizenship

282
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.120
to vote. That's low hanging fruit, Like, why can't we

283
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.759
get more people in Congress who are willing to work

284
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.279
across party lines to do things that are universally American ideas.

285
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.840
You should definitely show an ID and prove you're a

286
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.919
citizen to vote in our elections and control the future

287
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.639
of our nation. That shouldn't be controversial. Maybe Newt Gingrich

288
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.080
was living in a different time. Maybe he didn't have

289
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.480
quite the insane people that we have now. Back then,

290
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.080
it was a bad thing to be a communist or

291
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.159
a Marxist, and these days being a communist means you're

292
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.039
mayor of New York City, and we may have reached

293
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.360
a tipping point where the left is so far left,

294
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.840
and we have so many foreign born people who are

295
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.559
now naturalized citizens voting in our elections. Looking back again

296
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.840
at Mamdani in Manhattan, most of the people that elected

297
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.720
him were foreign born people. We've invited so many foreigners

298
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.840
into our nation that we may have already lost control

299
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.039
of it if we don't start pushing back really fast.

300
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.159
I agree, And again, I think this just leads back

301
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.639
to your status if you will as a self funded candidate,

302
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.039
there's no puppet strings. You're gonna do what you said

303
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.200
you're going to do, which means that your interests aligned

304
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.039
with the voter's interest. What a thought. So I hope

305
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.600
it's just not I hope it's not an anomaly. I

306
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.480
need more coffee.

307
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.799
I hope it's not.

308
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.159
An anomaly too, Dave. I think we all need more coffee.

309
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.240
But you know, the reality is this election is going

310
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.480
to come and go. We all still have to live here.

311
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.039
This is my hometown, this is my home nation. We've

312
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.240
got to make sure that this place is worth living in,

313
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.960
and that means working together to clean up the messages

314
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.440
that have been left to us from decades of bad

315
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.559
policy decisions and inaction in Washington, d C. I think

316
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.360
if we want to live in an America that we love,

317
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.759
if we want to pass down the American dream to

318
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.519
the next generation, it takes people working together to make

319
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.480
that happen. And that's what I'm dedicated to doing. I'm

320
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.879
dedicated to doing my part because I don't feel like

321
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.519
it's ethically appropriate to watch the disaster that is happening

322
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.840
in Washington, d C. And not do everything in my

323
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.440
ability to change it.

324
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.320
I agree wholeheartfully. This may be a lot of question.

325
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.879
I'm going to throw it out there anyway, like it's

326
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.080
not a bomb, But do you have an opinion one

327
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.080
way or the other on these various redistricting initiatives that

328
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.200
are taking place across the country. Do you have any

329
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:26.759
thoughts on that.

330
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.279
Seems like a bit of a cat and mouse thing.

331
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.200
Democrats basically invented the concept of jerrymandering. The fella that

332
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.559
jerrymandering is named after was a Democrat in the Northeast

333
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.120
that you know, jerrymandered the first several districts, and then

334
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.919
you look at what's happened in the Northeast. Again, You've

335
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.559
got several states, some of which have like forty percent

336
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.039
Republicans as a percentage of their population, yet they have

337
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.120
zero Republican representatives in Congress. And so the Democrats have

338
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:01.320
spent decades jerrymandering the entire Northeastern region plus several other

339
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:05.079
states where it's impossible for Republicans to have a voice

340
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.960
in those states, even though they make up oftentimes thirty

341
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.400
five to forty percent of the voting population. So now

342
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.839
you see Republicans doing the same thing and trying to

343
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.200
balance the scales because of multiple factors that have led

344
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.079
to an advantage for Democrats. Naturally, the Democrats are shrieking,

345
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:24.400
saying this is horrible, it's bad. Republicans are doing it now,

346
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:27.279
so it must be evil, ignoring the fact that Democrats

347
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.720
did it for decade decades. Number one and number two,

348
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.519
the Democrats were the party responsible for inviting in tens

349
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.519
of millions of illegals, counting them in the census, and

350
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:44.319
reapportioning congressional seats to blue states that had illegal sanctuary policies.

351
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.079
So blue states picked up seats, which naturally means red

352
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.960
states lost to them. Plus blue states gerrymandered, meaning Republicans

353
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.799
couldn't win in those states. Now that Republicans are finally

354
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.240
fighting back, Democrats are pretending to be the victim.

355
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.079
That's just false.

356
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.680
Yeah, that's true. That's true, And that the net effect

357
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.799
of what they were doing before was to dilute the

358
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:08.119
votes of Americans, of American citizens. So that's that's just

359
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.559
it's tough to dispute that we're going to change gears again.

360
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.559
I hope you didn't mean to ask you where a

361
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.559
neck brace, but we're just kind of jumping here and

362
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.799
there with respect to all these assassination attempts, not only

363
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.240
in the president, but on members of the cabinet and

364
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.480
on members of his family, most recently his daughter. Obviously

365
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.599
there are elements of the left that have gone just

366
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.960
full on bonkers. But is there a role for Congress

367
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.599
and any in addressing any of this.

368
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:36.319
Now?

369
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.440
I think people on both sides of the aisle in

370
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.240
Congress need to speak out against the demonization of a

371
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.279
whole group of people, particularly a whole political party. Currently,

372
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.079
Democrats routinely demonize all Republicans. I see it all the

373
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.640
time on my own social media. I get death threats, naturally,

374
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.640
the meta platform automatically hides most of these heinous statements.

375
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.480
But I get called all sorts of mean things because

376
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.000
I've said I support President Trump. They say I'm a Nazi,

377
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:05.839
that I should be killed, they say all sorts of

378
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.160
horrible things. And normalizing this language has happened over the

379
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:13.240
last several years where anyone associated with Donald Trump can

380
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.119
be called the most horrible names, and that somehow justifies

381
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.079
an increasing level of vitriol towards the whole party. So

382
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.720
people need to speak out against this. If it continues,

383
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.279
this is only going to get worse because people feel

384
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.200
like they're doing a righteous thing by standing up to

385
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.279
these so called fascists or Nazis, and they don't stop

386
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.880
for a moment to think that none of the policies

387
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.400
being enacted by President Trump or the Republicans actually align

388
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.599
with fascist or Nazi policies.

389
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.240
They just take the line and run with it.

390
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.559
They've reduced on eighty twenty issues. They reduced the twenty percent,

391
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.079
I'm sorry, the eighty percent to a caricature and labeled

392
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:56.920
them Nazis and Hitler. And you can't go any worse

393
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.359
than that. I mean, if you say that that's Hitler,

394
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.599
who wouldn't say, well, we've got to do something about that.

395
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:04.400
We can't let it hit Hitler's come into power, and

396
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.920
that kind of rhetoric takes place in minds that are

397
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.119
unsettled to begin with, and terrible things happen.

398
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.240
It creates very dangerous emotional reactions. And we've seen it

399
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.799
happening further and further on the left of American politics.

400
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.240
And someone's got to stop that, you know, and it's

401
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.920
going to be a joint effort. But right now we're

402
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.759
not seeing the leaders of the Democrat Party step up

403
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.279
and push back. We're seeing them continue to throw fuel

404
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.759
on the fire and continue this rhetoric of everything Trump

405
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.319
says is evil. Everybody that supports him is supporting a pedophile.

406
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.519
You know. There's just they come up.

407
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:44.799
With every disagreeable word possible to make someone look less

408
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.000
than human, because once you've described them as less than human,

409
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:50.720
suddenly it's not such a big deal to do horrible

410
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.160
things to them.

411
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.039
Exactly. All bets are all from that point forward, back

412
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:57.400
onto the campaign trail itself. What's the order of events

413
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.240
going forward? Any are there any immediate heard does it

414
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.519
need to be dealt with? Or how does all this unfold?

415
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.440
Just kind of like a cliff notes version of what

416
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.799
the deuce has to happen next.

417
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.519
So next steps are qualifying. It's the legal act of

418
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:11.680
putting your name on the ballot. You sign some forms,

419
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.440
turn them into the Secretary of State. That period is

420
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.079
from June eighth to I think June twelfth. After that

421
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.839
qualifying period is closed, the ballot is locked in. The

422
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.839
people who have properly qualified and are on the ballot

423
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.559
are on the ballot. Florida law is interesting and that

424
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.240
even if you die after qualifying, you're still on the ballot.

425
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.400
Obviously you can't win because you're dead, but you're still

426
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:34.119
on the ballot. There's no no do overs. Well it's

427
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.000
locked in. It's locked in.

428
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.400
At least when you're dead, you can't vote here supposedly, so.

429
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.920
Yeah, well yeah, only Democrats get to do Yeah. So

430
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:44.640
that's really the next big step in this election. And

431
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.799
we're down to about eighty days left before poles close.

432
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.839
Qualifying will be over here in the next week and

433
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.519
a half or so, and then we've got, you know,

434
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.559
a handful of days until polls open. I think August

435
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:01.880
fifth is when early voting open. In most counties across

436
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.319
the district, and I'll be continuing to do events. We're

437
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.559
doing events in all sixteen counties all across the district.

438
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.519
We're having meet and greets. I'm active online and continue

439
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.039
to engage with voters, and I'm attending all sorts of

440
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.440
other events, everything from rac meetings to women's clubs and

441
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.720
everything in between. The goal is to meet every voter

442
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.359
and give them the opportunity to directly interact and ask questions.

443
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:28.079
What's the field of contenders look like for you in

444
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.079
the second rational district.

445
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:32.279
It's an oddly crowded field.

446
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:32.559
You know.

447
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.400
Since Congressman Dunn announced his retirement, nearly a dozen people

448
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.839
have said they're going to run for this seat, So

449
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.680
it's an incredibly crowded field. As you mentioned earlier, I'm

450
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.640
very fortunate to be leading the field by double digits

451
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.240
at this point, and you know, we're working every day

452
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.599
to expand that lead. I'm not taking my foot off

453
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.519
the gas because this is one of the most important

454
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:55.720
things I can do with the rest of my life,

455
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.319
is find a way to positively impact the direction of

456
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.880
this nation. I don't like the direction that it's headed in,

457
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:04.759
and I feel like, if we don't all get together

458
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.519
and do something, this story doesn't end well.

459
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.319
I think that one of the things that makes you

460
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.880
truly a stand out candidate and an attractive option for

461
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:16.240
voters is that you don't have to hide your policy

462
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.680
positions for fear of alienating various dopes who might otherwise

463
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.039
try to control your policies or otherwise financially starve your campaign.

464
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.000
So you could be candidate even now. Do you see

465
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.440
that kind of candor on the part of your contenders.

466
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.720
You know, not as much.

467
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.599
I am very fortunate to be in a position that

468
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.599
because I'm self funding, because I don't actually need a career.

469
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.599
I've had a great career in business, and you know,

470
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.039
I could take it or leave it. As far as

471
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.799
serving in Congress, I don't necessarily look forward to going

472
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.240
in Washington, but I feel compelled to do my part

473
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.720
in Washington, and for that reason, I really admire some

474
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:51.880
of the other folks in Washington. You know, you mentioned

475
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.559
Senator Kennedy and certainly President Donald Trump. They both are

476
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.319
well known for speaking their mind unfiltered right, and I

477
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.319
look forward to doing exactly that because I think we

478
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:02.480
all deserve that. I don't want to see someone with

479
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.599
polished speeches that are tested by polsters and written by consultants.

480
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:08.519
I just want somebody to speak their mind. And that's

481
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.960
what I do on a routine basis. It's why I

482
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.119
have these in person town halls all over the place

483
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:18.359
and let people ask an unlimited number of unscripted, uncleared questions.

484
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:20.440
They can ask anything, and I think that sort of

485
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.559
dialogue is important. If we had that dialogue with communities

486
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:25.920
all across the nation, with all five hundred and thirty

487
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.119
five members in Congress, we would have better representation instead.

488
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.359
Too many represent too many of our representatives, and too

489
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.000
many candidates hide from constituents. Well, if they hide when

490
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:38.920
they're running for office, you can bet your we're in

491
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.559
they're going to hide when they're in office.

492
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:43.000
Well yeah, and again, I mean I can ask you

493
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:45.599
whatever question that I want, and you feeled it, and

494
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.400
you answer the question. You answer it plainly, and you

495
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.359
speak your convictions rather than resorting to a word salad.

496
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.359
Like the last president you can't race, which was we

497
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.759
had President Applesauce and he yielded to the vice president

498
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.400
and oh my god. So but now the same thing

499
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.200
that makes you that attractive as a candidate also represents

500
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.480
a threat to the old order. I would think they

501
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.440
go along to get along a variety of parasitic invertebrates

502
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.759
who feed off taxpayers while pretending to represent them. So

503
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.640
I applaud what you're doing. It's what a veteran does,

504
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:20.519
by the way you stand up. But I suspect that

505
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.960
these special interests are not going to go quietly into

506
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:23.920
the night. Let's say you.

507
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:28.640
They're probably not, and that's okay. You know, I've self

508
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.039
funded my campaign. I'm willing to self funded as much

509
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.799
as needed to ensure that we get our message out.

510
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.839
And ultimately it's up to voters to pick who they

511
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.640
want to represent them. You know, they're responsible for making

512
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:43.839
a good choice and seeing through the fog and the

513
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.160
chaos that is campaigning, because you know, I've seen a

514
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.079
lot of ugliness already just in this campaign, where there

515
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.160
are some moneyed interests who are we would call them

516
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.599
the good old boy club. They don't want to see

517
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.319
a situation where someone represents us in Washington who they

518
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:01.480
can't control. They want to make sure that their pockets

519
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:04.759
continue to get padded with preferential treatment and contracts that

520
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.599
they probably aren't entitled to, and we're seeing a lot

521
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:12.000
of pushback from that crowd. Fortunately, that's a very small crowd.

522
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.759
Most people see right through it. And that's why I'm

523
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.359
leading in the polls, because voters overwhelmingly reject that sort

524
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:21.359
of cronyism. We want honest representation, which is why I'm

525
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.559
going out of my way to make it clear I

526
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.160
can't be bought. I will be loyal to God, the

527
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:27.960
people in this district and no one else.

528
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:32.680
I think that there the people's rejecting the old, the

529
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.359
old network that just you know, greased everybody's palms and

530
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:38.079
all that kind of stuff. I think that's obvious now

531
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.000
in the primary results as we go toward the midterms,

532
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.720
and that the the old boid network is getting rejected

533
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:47.559
by voters in favor of people like yourself to say, no, no,

534
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.039
we're going to do what works number one, what a thought,

535
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.200
and we're going to represent the people. So I think

536
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:52.880
you're right on that.

537
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:55.440
Actually, I think it's got to be done.

538
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.039
If we don't start sending people with no strings attached,

539
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.480
then we don't really have a government for the people

540
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:01.160
by the people.

541
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:06.799
We've got to change that last question. And well, here

542
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.319
it is what's the most surprising and positive? They're surprising

543
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.440
in a positive way that you've noticed on the campaign

544
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:15.839
trail thus far. What's really kind of taken you back

545
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:17.200
a little bit then a good way.

546
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:18.200
You know.

547
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.359
I mean people all over this district and rural communities

548
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:26.200
and beach towns and everywhere in between, who are incredibly supportive.

549
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.640
They are excited about having fresh representation. They're excited that,

550
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:33.839
you know, they get to speak with me and ask questions,

551
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.000
and they're just excited to create change in a place

552
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:40.200
that hasn't seen change in quite a while. I've also

553
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.720
been really inspired by the number of people who come

554
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.480
to my defense. You know, there have been some pretty

555
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.759
ugly tactics used by other candidates and their supporters in

556
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.559
this race, with all sorts of false information being spread,

557
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.680
and you know, I've pledged from day one, I'm not

558
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:55.920
running negatives, not going to do it. I'm running a

559
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.200
clean campaign because at the end of the day, we

560
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:00.359
all have to live here. We're all friends, we're all

561
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.880
neighbors with someone, and we need to make sure that

562
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:05.920
we have a good community after.

563
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:06.640
This election is over.

564
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.599
But unfortunately, campaign season seems to bring out the worst

565
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.279
in some people. But it also brings out the best

566
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:16.039
in some people, because countless people have come to my defense,

567
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.680
corrected factual inaccuracies, and really schooled some of these people

568
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:22.880
who are spreading the negatives. You know, I think these

569
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.440
negatives are going to backfire on them big time because

570
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.519
people don't want negativity. Casting false negatives at your opponent

571
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.279
doesn't mean they're going to vote for you that you know,

572
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:35.880
often this thing backfires dramatically, And that's what I'm seeing,

573
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:39.319
and I'm thankful to see that people are piercing through

574
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:40.920
the fog that.

575
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.319
Is being created the negativity. Yeah, man, from your lips

576
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:46.319
to God's ears, I hope. I think you're right. I

577
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:48.640
just get the sense from what we're seeing in unfold

578
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:50.640
in other states, and people are just tired of business

579
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:51.440
as usual.

580
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:53.079
And they should be.

581
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.119
They've seen from one businessman in the office that said,

582
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:58.799
you can get things done actually if you really want to,

583
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:04.400
rather than just letting and tie by process. Absolutely all right, Well,

584
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.359
look man, we look forward to hearing how things are going. Uh,

585
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:09.559
don't be a stranger here. Let's just talk again as

586
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:10.799
events unfold. Please.

587
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:13.240
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for having me

588
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:14.039

589
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.640

get you canceled faster than a bad tweet, When saying

601
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.000
men can't be women made you a pariah. Remember when

602
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:07.000
noticing that the North Pole still hasn't melted yet, god,

603
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.359
you branded a dangerous climate denier. And remember the good

604
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.920
old days when someone claimed two plus two equals white

605
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:18.039
supremacy and you knew better than to laugh out loud.

606
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:19.720
Ah.

twenty twenty.

632
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.160
Hi, I'm a Hollywood actor who's never had an original

633
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.920
thought in his life. With my American Suppress card, I

634
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.720
feel safe knowing wrong opinions are being handled by the

635
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.680
proper authorities, and you should feel safe too.

636
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:14.160
Yeah, peasant, this is your favorite anchor with the immaculate hair.

637
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.160
I wouldn't know an original thought if it did a

638
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:19.880
left dance right in front of me. But thanks to

639
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.680
the American Suppress card, I don't have to just read

640
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.640
the approved script and watch the ratings and the dissidents disappear.

641
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.200
I'm a federal district judge who misses the good old

642
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.519
days when I could rewrite presidential powers before my morning

643
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:41.359
coffee ban nationwide injunction, no reversals, no consequences, just me

644
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:43.119
playing emperor from the bench.

645
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:48.039
Baby, American suppress.

646
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.519
Without silencing the rest.

647
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.960
When chat is too loud and you just need.

648
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.400

649
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.880
See American Suppress out a favorite tool and silence your

650
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:07.799

651
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.960
to keep all distractions comfortably at base dinner.

652
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.200
Party is getting louder.

653
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.720
Everyone's in a rant.

654
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:18.079
Just pull out the card. It's like magic.

655
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:20.599
You can't, oh, dear, I can't hear you.

656
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:39.079
There's too much to take, bold ideas, fearless voices. It's

657
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:52.400
the Dave Carter Show.

658
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.759
All right now, And I'll forget your very own personal

659
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:02.200
American suppress card available that participating in locations where every

660
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.880
paranoia can be found. All right? So what do y'all

661
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:11.480
think of Keith gross And is rather a unique approach

662
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.119
of cutting out the middleman of the special interest cronies

663
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.719
at the national and local level so he can represent you,

664
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:21.960
the taxpayer. You know, the guy who plays by the rules,

665
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.239
the gal who plays by the rules, gets up every morning,

666
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:28.119
goes to work, and pays exorbitant taxes for all this,

667
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:32.679
and then gets put in last place by folks who

668
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:35.079
want more of your money to do more things that

669
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:39.760
make your life more difficult. I mean, can you believe

670
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:42.719
that there are actually people running for public office right

671
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:48.159
now who have websites with that absolutely zero policy proposals

672
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:53.440
on them. Now? Why is that? Well, it's because the

673
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.000
good old boys haven't told their candidates the ones they're

674
00:34:56.039 --> 00:35:00.199
bankrolling what their positions are going to be yet for

675
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.320
me and I'll do whatever mister money bag's over there

676
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:07.559
tells me to do. That makes sense, I mean, do

677
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.920
you want to sack a corruption like that in public office?

678
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:14.880
I don't, And you're probably are happy to hear that

679
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:18.199
there are people out there like Keith Grows who represent

680
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:23.719
a radical departure from business as usual. So if you

681
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.360
want things to actually get done for a change, things

682
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.320
that will help the folks that play by the rules

683
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.480
and pay the taxes and deserve to have their rights

684
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:36.320
protected for a change, then folks like Keith Growth, Keith

685
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:40.599
Grows or they're providing a path forward. And it looks

686
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.880
more and more like people are waking up and gravitating

687
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:49.119
toward them. So you know, hear the man out look

688
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.199

689
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:56.079
