CGR FRIDAY 082523 Steve Abramowicz Nashville Lou Marin FBI Abuse

Down next... That was a shooting gallery up there. I could hear the tremble in his voice. She suffered a very severe being.

The video is pretty graphic. Justice, for us, seems almost impossible. It's not fun to watch somebody die, and they knew she was in mortal peril. They have not asked the hard questions. Why was the Capitol intentionally unsecure that day? The FBI had information about security concerns before January 16th. They're out for blood, and they're getting it.

They appear to be winning. Were the actions of the Capitol Police out of line? Were there violations in use of force? Now I describe it as an inside job. I'm ready to do whatever God calls me.

When the regime gives the order, you have to kill. My heart was pounding. I felt my body bouncing and twisting on the floor. They put numbers on our shoulders, then separated us into rows of even and odd numbers.

I was number nine. My brother, he's still in prison. And my sister, she was sent to a labor camp without a trial. But there's one piece of evidence they haven't been able to destroy yet.

I left everything behind. If I can't expose what they did to us. Then all of our suffering would be for nothing. Welcome to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg Young. And now, Chosen Generation, where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. And now here's your host, Pastor Greg.

And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. Well, you know, as a resident of Texas, I hear all the time people say, Oh man, I'd love to come down to Texas. Let me tell you, Texas is not the red state that everybody thinks that it is. Let me just burst your bubble, I guess.

Maybe we have an open border, we have cartel issues, we have the number one child trafficking state in the country, and the number one child trafficking city in Houston. We have major, major issues with rhinos, and so it's very challenging at times. And my next guest is going to talk to us about another bastion of red stateness and the challenges that they're facing as a result of just radically left policies. And I want to welcome Steve Abramowitz to the program. Steve, thank you so much for being with me today. My pleasure.

Thanks for inviting me. Yeah, live from Nashville. Live from Nashville. This guy. Man, I mean, you know, a lot of people don't remember, but you guys had your own, what did they call that in Seattle?

Top Chaz, Summer of Love. Yeah, yeah. You had your own Chaz thing going on in downtown Nashville that, you know, that folks, again, you know, you just, you don't, you think Tennessee, you think freedom volunteers, you just, you know. But, and not to say that those, that that's not a part of the DNA, but it's still, you guys are in a fight yourselves. We're the last, we're the last bastion, in my opinion. This is the last stand.

This is biblical. This is where it all has to happen because Tennessee has the opportunity to lead the entire world and country, well, country and world, I guess, if you want to go small to big, to a revival, to the Founding Fathers documents, you know, this is where we got Polk, this is where we got Jackson, this is where we got Marsha Blackburn. We can turn this thing around right from here and set it straight because if you look at a voter map of Tennessee, it's a big state. There are two time zones.

There's only 13 that have that. It is a sea of red with two islands of blue, Shelby County and Davidson County. Shelby County is where Memphis is, crime capital of the country, unfortunately, and Nashville, not far behind, but also the state capital, although the Supreme Court is over in Knoxville. So, which is interesting, and the Attorney General is appointed by the Supreme Court, not the governor who has made some very bad choices in his two terms. So what I'm saying is that I moved here because this is the place to stand up, put your armor of God on and say, get behind me, Satan. And it can happen. And it is happening. And I talked to people who aren't elected officials, and they agree with me. And it's the secular, rhino Republicans, Dixiecrats, I call them, who are making a mess of things.

But if they could get their act together and follow what Thomas Jefferson himself said was the best constitution of all of them in this new country of theirs, and it wasn't a state yet, because it's the most Republican, it can be another century of America, and for the glory of God, in my humble opinion. Talk to me about some of the specific issues that you see happening in Nashville, both that are congruent with what's happening in a lot of local municipalities, and then on a broader spectrum, we'll try to take it, if we have time, to a more national stage. But let's begin by talking about how did, because we have the same thing in Texas, right? I mean, whether it's Houston, El Paso, San Antonio, Dallas, it doesn't matter.

It's all gone blue. Austin, oh my gosh. But talk to me about how you've seen that happen there. Okay, so I left Washington State, and before that, California. I was in Washington for 20 years. I was in California for 30. And I got to see firsthand what happens when you have a supermajority of Democrats in office, what they do, what they can do, what they're capable of, what people would think, no, can't happen, happens. So you got Orange County, the sea of red in an, sorry, the island of red and an ocean of blue, same thing.

King County, Seattle, island of blue and red. So I came to Tennessee to tell everybody, don't do that. So I've had 175 shows, all dedicated to telling everybody what is a Republican, what are biblical values and constitutional values, don't do what they did. But there's a problem.

I'm just one voice. And there is a troops and a army of lobbyists. Some represent the healthcare business, some represent the large corporations that the Chamber of Commerce is in love with. And I don't know how politically your show is, but I do know No, you go for it.

No holds barred. And I do know that if you go up to Nashville and you want to talk to a lobbyist, they have unlimited funds to take you to bourbon and steak and seats at the new Titan Stadium. That's $2 billion of taxpayer money to be built and the expansion of the NASCAR and et cetera, et cetera, and Ford and Facebook companies that hate Republicans, but yet make Republican elected officials do their bidding up in the in the legislature.

So so what I saw, like I said, what I saw was how they'll get there to make the blue. And it was only 2009 that Democrats were the majority in Tennessee. Could you imagine if they continue?

We wouldn't be talking like this. We would be as purple as I see Texas getting. But right now, like I said, sea of red. Since 2000, Tennessee has voted 100 percent of the time for Republican candidate for president. OK, now you said you said 2009. It was majority Republican or Democrat Republican. It was it's Republican now. Supermajority now. But 2009 it was majority Democrat. So it hasn't been that long since we made that since you guys made that swing. Right.

And they're doing a lot of things up there that's paving the way for a repeat for them to make a comeback and take advantage. So right now there's a special session going on that Governor Lee, who is not as conservative as people are told. Right. Allowed so that the super minority could scream and yell and go on CNN and raise millions of dollars to take our guns away, basically, which is our Second Amendment right, which obviously you can't have a First Amendment without a Second Amendment. There have been Republicans who push bills that wanted to limit speech for conservative news outlets, which aren't that many.

There's only one that besides me that I can even think of. There's anyway, we don't have to get into that unless you want to. And so the long story short is, is that you want a Republican legislature that actually delivers on the will of the people. Right. It isn't happening here. And that's how it happened in Texas. And that's how it happened in California a long time ago when they got rid of Pete Wilson.

And it's how it's happened. Oh, I grew up in California, just as it's interesting to hear you say that because, yeah, I grew up in California. And my dad ran for city council in San Leandro, California, back in the early 70s. And actually, he was blindfolded and taken to a home and told that he would not be winning the election, that it was already decided.

Now we know. And that he it would be in his best interest not to make too big of a stink about what was about to happen. And then they put somebody in that was kind of a vote taker that had, you know, kind of a similar message to my dad. My dad still only lost by 400 votes.

But the guy that won was a guy named Johan Cleese. And if you follow politics there, you might know him. But he's a Democrat lobbyist. He's a Democrat advisor and so on. And he was hardball, right?

Yeah. And and and and he they they rented him an apartment in San Leandro, so that he could run. He didn't live there. He lived there.

They just rented him an apartment. But he was Bill Lockyer's boy. And I don't know if you remember the name Bill Lockyer, but Bill Lockyer became the Attorney General in California. And he was the machine that pushed Wilson out.

And Nancy Pelosi has her DNA all over this crime scene because you know, she came from Baltimore and took over California. Yep. Yep.

100%. So yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm very familiar with that. And I'll tell you just a very quick story. So I came back here. I'm my I went into the Air Force. That's how I got to Texas originally met my wife in 86. We got married, ended up going to Florida, then back to California. We were in Central California, in Modesto for 18 years, which was the last bastion of conservatism in Southern California. You were in Orange County.

And and and fighting that fight out there. I arrive here, I get invited to a Pastors Association meeting in this small community where I live. And at the very first meeting I go to the school administrator advises the pastors that the baccalaureate gathering that they've been having where they've been handing out Bibles can no longer happen at the school because they hand out Bibles.

Now, I just arrived from California. I'm like, this is like, a bad dream flashback, right? And I'm looking, I'm the new guy. So I'm looking around the room going, is, is anybody gonna say anything and everything?

They're all just kind of nodding their heads going? Yeah, we understand separation to churches state and I'm like, huh? What?

That's not even in the Constitution. I know. And I'll tell you, I started this program almost 12 years ago, about a year and a half into it, I took over the oak initiative chapter locally. And we weren't everybody was on Islam, which is fine. But I started trying to ease in the LGBTQ agenda, in part because in Kerrville, at their high school, was the very first PFLAG organization.

You know what those are, right? PFLAG, Parents for Lesbians and Gays. This is before Obergefell. This is before it's legal in Texas. And it was started by the retiring minister of the United Methodist Church in in Kerrville.

And so I start talking about their agenda, which is which is the overhauling of straight America, that document, and how they run that game. And I was told Steve, if you keep talking about this, nobody's going to come to your meetings, because that'll never happen in Texas. Well, I have some good news.

That's one of those things like, you know, aside from that, how was the play? This is Lincoln, right? But I had Phil Johnson on yesterday, and hopefully people would go and look that up at Millcreekview.com and listen to it.

He is the 40-year pastor's associate and radio host of John MacArthur's Grace Community Church radio show. And they have a new movie coming out called Essential Church, which goes back and talks about all the way to Scotland, how the church and state, let's just say how state has tried to keep the church out. But they fail.

They fail time and time again. And so when Gavin Newsom and his administration tried to sue, well, tried to shut down Grace Cathedral to Grace Chapel for COVID, they fought back and won. And the state owes them millions of dollars.

And so it can be done if what we just talked about, if the last stand, if churches will rise up and say no, and this isn't the key. This is why I left Washington State. Only 25% of Christians are registered to vote in Washington.

If anyone could move the needle on that, and I've backed plenty of candidates that tried, sad, but if they could get to 50%, if they could get to 75%, they would have a super majority of Republicans in Olympia, which is the capital of Washington State, to break down the Emerald Curtain, I call it, because it's the Emerald State, and put some biblical values back into that thing. And then you wouldn't have legalized child kidnapping. Fentanyl, which is the biggest killer of men, 18 to 45 in the country now, legal. You wouldn't have no cash bail. You wouldn't have get out of jail free multiple times per day for loitering and prostitution and all this other terrible stuff where the devil's running rampant, in my opinion, in the state of Washington and California and Oregon's long gone.

So, but nobody lives in Oregon, there's like 2 million people. So the point is that, and now the Pac-12 is broken up, so there's really no reason to go to California anymore. I'm with you. But long story short is, you nailed it.

That is it. They pushed God out of the public square in California. Jerry Brown and his son had a lot to do with that. Gavin Newsom is, I was going to call him something he probably isn't really, but he is really on. Well, Pastor MacArthur asked the world to pray for his soul because he dared to put pro-choice billboards in red states thinking that that was a wonderful thing that people could leave their state, go to California and get free abortions, including cost of transportation.

And now they've passed the ability in California where you can smuggle your kid into California and California will put them into their foster care system and take custody of them. It's, I mean, it is absolutely atrocious. Well, and back to, I guess, the point of what I was saying about, you know, the pastors meeting and in conjunction with what you were talking about, Steve, is the issue, the kind of the rhino behavior. But it's not like, you know, in Washington, D.C., we think about it as openly, oh, you know, they're partnering. It's more of a we're just trying to get along.

We just we don't want to rock the boat and we're just trying to get along. And in California, that was their big thing was is the Republicans essentially laid down and said, well, you know, we're going to we're just going to try to get along. And and like in Texas, I was just talking to Luke Macias yesterday about this, who's a political strategist with Defend Texas Liberty. And and we were talking about how their their idea is, is they're just kind of trying to hold their place, knowing that eventually the Democrats are going to take over. And and and it seems like, you know, surrender.

Well, absolutely. Well, it seems like you've got the same thing going on in Tennessee, right? They're basically they're saying, no, we're fighting. Are they are the Republican represent? I know the people, but are the Republican representatives?

Is the legislature and the and the and the House and the Senate, are they fighting or are they just holding space? One and a half years ago, when the majority of this of the state Senate was up for reelection, he had a challenger who almost knocked him off. A gentleman from Texas came here, set down his roots and challenged him. And maybe he won. In reality, we don't know the final tally because it's very confusing with voter integrity, but enough to put him on his heels. And therefore, now that we have the special session, he's actually been one of the more what would the phrase be? They're more consistent and truly beholden of the Republican values than he would have been had he felt very comfortable in his position and not done that.

So the answer is, yeah, a fighter like that. Yes, he had to come from Texas. We have one running for mayor who had to come from Chicago. So they're not unicorns or not natives like me from Washington state who actually stood up, challenged a person and very powerful, very high up and put him on the defensive and forced him to act more conservative.

Let's just say that. And in this special session, he's actually kind of done that. He's protected our Second Amendment for the best as we can tell.

He's protected free speech as best as we can tell. And then, you know, another 18 of the amendments. So the answer is, yeah, it can be done if the grassroots actually gets activated and stops with this apathy. Like I'm talking about the 25 percent even registered, not voting, not registered and not voting, just not even registered waiting for the Messiah to come, which that day will come. But in the meantime, we have another election coming. Right.

So you might as well work for it. So, yeah, I do have optimism that a place like Tennessee can actually push back the tide because we got Missouri next door, we've got Alabama, we've got Mississippi, we've got Texas not too far away. Arizona could be turned now that the, you know, the demons have been unleashed and people can see it with their own eyes and it's starting to hit their pocketbooks. They can actually something in this gaggle of platform on the far progressive left, which aren't Democrats, by the way, they're totally progressive Marxists. Saul Alinsky told them how to do this. And so it's Alinsky versus the Constitution, United States and Bible.

I'd rather be on the side of the Constitution and the Bible. They're beautiful. Demons don't usually win. So point is, is that we have the ability. Yes.

If guys like you and I and people we know can actually get off the couch and listen to shows like mine and learn how to do it, you can do it. One person texting or emailing one legislature who can file a bill that can help. Put away, you know, emergency powers in Washington State, Inslee had them for a thousand days. It was revoked as a miracle when it happened, but it's because citizen activists kept saying you cannot do that. That's right.

We're going to go by the rules, not by your chaos. And so, like I said, if you can see through the fog and find real Republicans that aren't rhinos, you can find people who aren't beholden to big corporations and will only act in their best interests, not in ours. You can affect change.

Absolutely. I want to highlight something. I want to highlight something that you said, though, that I think is important for folks to understand, and that is the difference your voice makes. Like, for example, that candidate that you mentioned, although he may or may not have won. And again, that's questionable based on election integrity. And I get that we have that problem here.

I think it's a national issue. But more importantly, was the debates and the conversations that he brought forward when he campaigned and was able to raise to a level of of conscience within the people and understanding. OK, hold on.

I'm in check now. Yeah, I'm not sure I'm going to vote for this guy, but he makes sense. And you know what? There are some things that he said that though I may vote for the other guy, I'm going to tell this guy that I'm going to vote for. I want him paying attention to these things.

I want him doing something about these issues. And and so I think it's really important, you know, when when you got to remember that the left, they they they never lose in their mind. They never lose. It's like the Terminator robot. It just keeps coming and coming because they're always moving the needle. That's how they look at it. That's the Alinsky concept. That's that's the Marxist.

They're moving the needle. We need to start thinking in the same terms. We're we're all about, you know, win or go home. OK, and and and and even when we win, we go home.

OK, you can't, folks, you cannot do that. You've got to be at this every day in some way. You know, even even in and I talk a lot about spiritual warfare, even in that, when you walk out of your front door, make that declaration in the name of Jesus Christ. I am claiming my neighborhood for Jesus Christ. I ask for the angels of God to do warfare in this neighborhood over every soul, over every mind right now and transform them. And I ask that the demonic realm would be removed from my neighborhood in the name of Jesus Christ. Take authority over your neighborhood. Take authority over your neighborhood. Just when you step out of your door. That's it.

Yep. When you step out of your door, begin with that. If people want to avoid a hot civil war shooting war, which I do, that's it, you have to know your local legislator, you have to communicate with your local legislator, you have to get active in regional politics when the time comes. And when you have your skills that you can stuff envelopes, make phone calls, go door to door knocking, which is actually kind of fun. People don't realize that you just and I get it, man, I get it. This is a tough economy.

Inflation, people working two jobs, kids in college. That's way out of unaffordable health care issues. You can't you know, are we going to take the medicine? Are we going to go to grocery store?

I get it. But somebody everybody's got to find five minutes a day with 10 like minded people that can tell 10 other like minded people that there's an issue that really matters. And we got to work on it from everything from who's going to be on the school board to who's going to be the dog catcher. You got to because if you don't, the other side loves it. They're professionals that they get paid for it is their full time job.

They will. Barack Obama was a community organizer. That's what he did. And it got all the way to the presidency. And now we're dealing with the aftermath.

So I absolutely agree. You need to start local because it's almost like a gateway drug. You start local and you realize, well, wait a minute to fix this. It has to be more regional and it has to be more state and then it has to be more federal. You have to know who my federal congressperson is by name and what their phone number is, which is public, published on the Internet, not hard to find and actually get things done. And if you have 10 like minded people, you're going to have some great best friends that probably even go to church with you and then you get them registered and then they vote. And then you can tell any far left person who says, I want to take your guns away. You say, no, we're not for that, which is happening right now in the special session in D.C. and in Nashville. They wanted this special session.

Lee has only had three in his entire term, two terms, and they're not getting their way because they're a super minority in Washington state, in California. They would get their way. You would be able to say, you're right. The hemlock. It's a law. We said so in Tennessee. We still have the opportunity to say, no, no, I don't want the hemlock. Thank you very much.

I'm going to listen to God. Mill Creek View dot com is the Web site, Mill Creek View dot com. Correct, Steve?

Today, we are no longer fighting with guns. Instead, we are fighting an ideological battle for control of our country by contributing to causes that support your constitutional rights.

I am Patriot Mobile. Look, I am for marriage between a man and a woman. I am for life from conception. I am for following the Bible, and I believe that our founders started this nation on biblical principles.

I am in support of our military and believe that America should play a role in world security. I believe our Constitution was intended for a moral people and that the Bible contains the only true moral code. I believe we are all born sinners and that God in His grace and mercy sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, and that if we will confess our sins, He is just and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I believe salvation is not just accomplished in a little prayer, but that it is found in how that transformation is lived out. Jesus is to be the Lord of our lives, and we should follow biblical precepts. This is not legalism or works, but a life lived out in love and honor towards the one who died for my sins. Faith without works is dead and is no faith at all. I believe that we will fall and that we need to have a repentant heart and that God will ultimately bring us into perfect action through Jesus Christ, spirit man perfected and soulish man in progress. I believe that we are not to live in guilt and shame when we fall, but we repent and get up and move closer to Jesus. I believe that if our nation will repent and turn from wickedness that God will heal our land.

I believe that as a Christian I must occupy until He comes and that to call evil wicked and to warn about those evil acts is a part of the mandated Christianity. That to love also means to be willing to take the risk necessary to confront a friend with the truth in hopes that their heart will be turned because their life matters, even if it means in that moment they will possibly hate me. It means that I must risk scorn to stand for truth and that I can never sit silently by while evil attempts to conquer the world. God is my everything and Jesus is the love of my life. That does not make me weak but strong, not silent but bold, and not fearful but courageous. Therefore, if you are my friend, while we may not fully agree, know that I share what I share because I care.

If you strongly disagree with these beliefs, they are not debatable for me and you can, if you choose, unfriend me. I do not say this in anger but in love. I wish for you eyes to see and ears to hear that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and that God, not man, gets to decide what is truth, life, and the way.

God bless you. And welcome back to Children's Generation Radio where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses. I'm your host, Pastor Greg, and wow, Florida. I have such fond memories of Florida. Not only some business trips that I took to Florida but also living in the Clearwater, Tampa area having some restaurants in Clearwater and Tampa and then down in Miami as well. We just, man, we really loved that area. Gorgeous, gorgeous country. That drive down the intercoastal headed down towards Tamiami Trail and getting stuck out there with the alligators between the coast.

But you know, but still, memories, memories. All right, hey, very excited to have my next guest to join me. He is the Executive Vice President of the Florida Republican Party, right? Is that? Republican Assembly. Assembly, yes. Yes, sir. And I want to welcome to the program Lou Marin. Welcome, Lou. Good to have you. Pastor Greg, it's a honor to be here and I'm excited to be able to share who we are and what we're doing and I'm hoping everybody out there, our viewers, are having a God-tastic day. There you go. There you go.

Absolutely, absolutely. Well, and you're in Orlando, which is a beautiful, beautiful city, beautiful, beautiful town. But it's also the home of Disney World and boy, there's a bit of an ideological war between Disney World and those of us that have a God-tastic view. Well, I think Disney right now is sowing their oats here.

When you look at their stock, it's gone down quite a bit. As our governor says, Florida's where woke comes to die and rightfully so. We got to put an end to this nonsense to make a claim that a man's a woman or a woman's a man. I mean, God only made it two genders, man and woman. And by the way, I am a man and I'm sticking to my story. You're here. I'm right there with you, brother.

I am right there with you. Talk to me about what that battle has been like because I had a debate with a gentleman talking about the tax revenue issues and his position was that, well, a lot of Floridians are actually not in favor of what the governor did to put the kibosh on Disney's favored status and to hurt Disney right where it counts, which is in their pocketbook. Well, I think one thing that we do here at the Florida Republican Assembly, a lot of people don't realize this, we're not affiliated with the RPOF or the RNC. We're our own entity. We're a Judeo-Christian organization.

Been around for over 91 years. It was Ronald Reagan's favorite organization. He always calls us the conscience of the Republican Party. So we align all of our beliefs behind the Judeo-Christian, the Bible. We go from the Bible. The Bible teaches what's wrong and what is right. So in regards to Disney, you hear mixed reviews.

My position or our position as the executive vice president is that that's a battle going to be fought in court. I think a lot of times people don't realize that politics is politics. But sometimes you cross that line, you're going to get smacked around. I think in this case, Disney kind of stepped over there, got out of their lane. I mean, Disney probably turned around in his grave going, what the heck happened to my family organization or family theme parks that should have been revolved around family, around God, around country? And I think they just kind of lost their way. Yeah, it certainly seems as though they misstepped in that direction.

I know one of the things that we want to talk about stepping beyond Florida, but it speaks to an event that happened in Florida, and I'm talking about what happened at Mar-a-Lago. I'm talking about an entity that came down there, and I think many of us believe has gone completely and totally rogue. Now, tell folks about your naval background, because I think that will help folks to understand a little bit more about the authority with which you can speak to a rogue organization called the FBI. Well, yeah, these institutions that I kept sacred to myself, I thought these were the premier law enforcers of the world.

And to hear what's going on behind the scenes is just heartbreaking to me. Growing up, I always thought of the FBI as like the people who was going to go do the right thing. And when I recently had a guest speaker open my eyes, maybe I was just naive, I don't know, but a guy named Stephen Friend came into our meeting here last Monday and just blew me out of the water to hear the fact that the FBI has quotas. You've got to have quotas. You've got to make X amount of quotas, make arrests, in order to get a pay raise or to be promoted or to get a bonus. I'm going, whoa, to me that's a conflict of interest. You're going to go out and make quotas so your boss or you as an individual get an extra paycheck bump.

I thought that don't seem right to me. That's a big-time conflict of interest to hear that these folks are going out and trying to raid, in this case, Mar-a-Lago or Roger Stone and to go in with guns appointing and with a SWAT team. I'm thinking, really?

You could just make a phone call and say it was a concern we have and we've got to get this resolved? I mean, to me, these institutions, the DOJ, the FBI, they've gone rogue. They've actually are embarrassing. I think we're the laughingstock of the world, really.

I mean, people don't really. Now, how many years did you serve in the Navy, sir? Well, I spent 22 years in the United States Navy. It was all about doing the right thing. In the Navy, we're always a retired Navy chief.

Proud to say I served 22 years. I'm just surprised that back then we had the moral compass. Right. UCMJ. Absolutely.

UCMJ. Right. We have a moral compass. To me, to sit there and to see what's going on in the military, I'm just like, oh, my God, I'm embarrassed. I mean, right now, our operational readiness is at an all-time low and knowing that they've brought in this woke garbage into there.

And I'm going, we've got to come in and clean the house. I mean, we've got to do it as a chief. You, I mean, as a chief, you held hearings, disciplinary hearings. You had to have those kinds of events that took place. You relied on individuals being honest and being able to have integrity and receive reports about activities and things that were going on under your command, so to speak.

And those kinds of things were important. When you looked at the, for example, the whistleblower situation and the, you know, Congress holding those hearings and heard what happened to those men who attempted to do the right thing and were obviously, you know, wow, abused, I guess, is probably the best way to describe it. In my opinion, how did you view that as a former chief?

Well, pretty accurately said. I was taken back to know the fact that here are these guys trying to do their daily job and when they saw that their upper edge in law and their leadership that went rogue, they were like, wait a minute, I got into law enforcement to do the right thing and it just seemed like to me they're being abusive. They're being another Gestapo-type tactics.

They're just doing the wrong thing, harassing conservatives, good Christian folks that go out there and to intimidate them. That's not what we do. That is not what America is about. That's what they did back in Germany, you know.

That's to me, you want to take on this Marxist-type, adopt this Marxist-type behavior, it's time to clean house, you know. And by the way, you're talking about the FBI at our presidential convention we have coming up in October. We're going to have a roundtable and it will consist of the whistleblowers, FBI agents and the air marshals will be on that board along with Congressman Corey Mills and Dan Ball as our emcee from OAN. They'll be on that roundtable to talk about what we need to do to clean up these institutions that one time were supposed to be revered as the premier example for everybody. By the way, all those folks that did get suspended, FBI and the air marshals, they call themselves a special group.

They call them the suspendables, which I thought was kind of accurate. I'll tell you another fellow that you might want to, and I'll make the introduction, is Sam Faddis. Okay. We're trying to get the chief of the police of the White House during the air canal for the J6ers to talk about that also. Sam's a former CIA for years, but he was on my program a week before last and talking about the cleaning house that has to happen, both at the FBI and at the CIA.

And unfortunately, it's going to take layers down. Rick Manning was on with me and we talked about, because a lot of people, I think, and I'm sure you look at this, Lou, a lot of people think, okay, well, we need to get term limits. But what I try to get people to understand is that term limits just changes the name on the door. The real problem is the people in the office that are permanent. Yeah, the bureaucrats.

Absolutely. And it doesn't matter whose name goes up on that door, because ultimately the staff that feeds them is the same people. And until you get rid of them, until you can get rid of the 7500 permanent employees that are running our government today, it's unfortunate.

But we really, we think that, well, you know, and they do, I mean, it's good. Call your congressman, call your senators. But in reality, it's the 7500 bureaucrats that are pushing the buttons and that are making it so ultimately difficult for us to get back control of our country. Well said. Absolutely. It's time to clean house, sanitize the White House and get back to putting God back in our country, get back into making sure that we get a moral compass established here, because right now we're so far off track that it's disgusting. That's why we do what we do.

We are rhino hunters and no license required. So we make sure that if you do what's wrong, going against our values and our principles, we're going to run people against you. All right. You had challenged me to ask you a question in the green room regarding the reasons why you are supporting President Donald John Trump in this reelection. And you said you've got five reasons why you support him.

Can you share those with our audience? Well, first of all, I want you to understand I love our governor when he's here working. He's got a lot of work to do. And right now he's kind of in my in doing his job here. And that's a little concern.

You know, I'm concerned about some of the things that need to be accomplished. When I look back, I got the privilege to be part of Trump's team back in 2016. I was the grassroots director, deputy director for him.

And I was a guy that went around the state and trained folks here. What what who Trump is. A lot of folks asked me, well, why are you supporting Trump? And I said, that's a good question. You know, and I looked at the audience and about a thousand people out there.

I said, I thought about for a second. I said, I got it. That T in his name stands for truth. He tells it like it is.

And it's scaring the heck out of people in D.C. That R stands for results. When he sets his mind to get a job done, he's focused 110 percent on that. And that you he's unifying Americans. We're tired of all talk, no action politicians. And that him, he's a man of his word. If he says he's going to do something, you can bet he's going to get it done. And that P, he's a patriotic American like you and I successful businessman and the only one qualified to keep and make America great. Those are my five reasons.

Now, you and I also talked about and I and I've shared this on my program. My my concern in in in where we're going and President Trump addressed this, by the way, in his conversation with Chuck Carlson, which I thought was great relative to look, you know, I recognize that, you know, last time I had some people around me that didn't do what needed to be done, didn't didn't didn't follow my instructions, didn't follow my orders, weren't on the same page. They were politicians.

I didn't I you know, I I didn't really understand politicians in the same way that I understand them now. And yeah. Right. You know, and I'm not going to let that happen.

And and so that that is fantastic. The next step is, is, you know, he's only got four years, period. And and no matter how much we we love what he's going to do and what he did and all the positives that came out of that, we don't want a a a king. We don't we don't want a dynasty.

We're not looking to change those those things that make America so that make America great. So it becomes incumbent then for him to pick his successor, so to speak, even in even from the onset that there's that there's somebody that we're looking at and saying, OK, you know, I'm going to ultimately I'm going to do what I need to do because I've got to work really hard to get us back on track. But then I'm going to hand the baton to somebody else. DeSantis, some people have suggested could be that guy, possibly. How much concern is there, though, that in this primary process that and not even I mean, you know, President Trump is is is is is is a killer business guy. And and so he looks at it.

He doesn't. It's not personal. It's business. And he addresses it as such. But it's the people around and under that could potentially create enough damage that, you know, that that you know what I'm saying?

Am I making it? I think the landscape when you're selecting to pass on the baton, as you would say, you have to look at, first of all, do they have a moral compass? Do I think Ron DeSantis?

Yeah, I think he does. But I also think that needs to look at the landscape on his his association with folks that we kind of deem as wait a minute. We don't want to get back into the good old boys or the guy called the swamp or however you want to frame it up.

To me, when you're going to pass a baton to somebody, you have to make sure that these folks are have a moral compass and they're going to do what's right to me. Put America first. You put America first. We can help out the whole world.

You don't realize we get our own house in order. We can do a lot more helping them all out right now. It's heartbreaking when you see what we have a empty suit in an office right now that's letting all these folks come into our country, drain our resources. People don't realize the end of the day that comes back on us. We're going to have to pay that bill.

And it's this heartbreak. It's heartbreaking to see as a fellow veteran to see that my veterans on the street. It's like, whoa, why are we walking away from them and bringing all these people out of country and taking care of them and not taking care of our veterans who served our country.

They're all disabled, what have you. But end of the day, we have a lot of cleaning house to do. So I think if I was the president and I'm looking at somebody, I'll be in that situation someday. I'm going to be president of this organization probably next year.

Looking at I got to look at who's going to be who's going to take over after I leave. I want to make sure this person has a moral compass is important. So keeping God in first place, I think that's essential in order to you lead by example. And by example, whether you're by yourself, you always got to do the right things.

I always say, well, listen, when I'm by myself, I still I know God's watching me. So I got to make sure I do the right thing into the day so I can look people in the eye and say, listen, yeah, this is what we got to do and move forward. The other piece in all this, too, is this Florida is and I'm glad that you were there. I have a friend that also was involved in 2016 in working on making sure that Florida, you know, voted voted Trump's way as well.

And and then ended up working in the administration. But relative to that, Florida is is is a critical state in in making sure that we put the right people in the White House. And and so in order to do that, we've got to maintain the red color in Florida. And I just had a gentleman from Tennessee on.

I'm down in Texas. We're all fighting purple hood. I mean, we're all fighting that.

How intense is that battle for Florida right now? Well, fortunately, we've actually turned the tide. We're out of the out of the purple side.

Now we're in the red side. And again, it's about educating people. Our motto here is educate, motivate and engage, get engaged. We've taken the Republican Party name of the FRA. We've taken to the next level.

We're very high tech. You know, we do all our voter registrations to QR codes and we educate people. I tell people, listen, forget the R and D thing. I want you to look at something deeper than that. Look at the policies. Amen. This is what matter is policies will make or break you.

Great example. We were a energy efficient or in an energy independent country here when Trump was in. You know, we were paying a dollar eighty five a gallon. And all of a sudden now we're at four dollars a gallon. So the difference is between between these parties is kind of heartbreaking. And if anybody studies history, I've been around now to see a lot of changes here. But I know the Democrats and God bless them, but they're notorious for screwing up our economy. They're just unbelievable.

It's like they get it all set right. Reagan came in and cleaned up. Carter. And then, you know, now we're going to have to hopefully get Trump in here and he can go clean up this mess in the empty soup mess. This guy, you know, I even call him his name because he's incoherent. I watch him walk around. And when I see him in Hawaii, by the way, I was raised there. I was born in California, raised Hawaii as long as I was blown away when I see what's going on. And now it's oh, my God. You know, at the end of the day, we've got to get people who's going to have a moral compass. We put America first because as an American, we can help more people.

We got our own house cleaned up. No doubt. No doubt about it. Do you do you see if if DeSantis is not successful in a presidential run, does he hang on to the governorship in Florida or will he be too wounded?

Final minute. I think he listen is he's a diamond in the rough. OK, I like the man.

I think he has just made a few political missteps. And and again, nobody's perfect when I hire a governor or a president. And that's what we're doing. We're hiring these folks. We're hiring a CEO. Right. OK, that's very important. We want to CEO again with a moral compass who puts God first and puts America first. To me, that's critical. Here, here, here, here.

Well, Lou, thanks so much for being with me today. I've got the website at Florida Republican Assembly dot org, Florida Republican Assembly dot org dot org. Not to be confused with the RNC, not to be confused with with with with the party, but but an organization that is focused on these God fearing Christian biblical constitutional values.

And if you're in Florida, I would encourage you, you know, it's it's it's all about the principle. And Florida Republican Assembly dot org is is is about principle. And just let you know, we're a national organization. Our main mothership is the National Federated Republican Assembly. And we're in 30 states.

And I think I just recruited nine more during the Mike Lindell conference convention. So I'm pretty excited about that. Congratulations. Oh, absolutely. That's all you do, buddy. Appreciate it.

Appreciate all that you do as well, sir. All right. We're going to take our break. Our number three coming up, Don Jans joins me, and then we'll have Charles Cole be talking about Procosian. And did Putin pull the trigger on that? We'll get into that coming up. Our number three is coming up straight ahead right after this brief break.
