Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy

[Music] good evening and thank you for joining us I'm Trey gy and it's Sunday night in America the Democrat convention is over and what looked like a party in disarray M weeks ago has been rejuvenated Joe Biden was likely not only to lose the White House but take Congress down with him so it was out with the old and in with the new and vice president KLA Harris has provided a jolt within her party and the polls on behalf of the people on behalf of every American regardless of party race gender or the language your grandmother speaks on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written written in the greatest nation on Earth I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America so Harris tall much like Biden used to do much like Trump did in the aftermath of his near assassination about Unity but others did not seem to get the memo Donald Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own Pockets who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs there's the childish nicknames the crazy conspiracy theories this weird obsession with crowd sizes the decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024 and just plain common sense so the pep rys are over the next scrimmage is set for September 10th in the form of a debate and early voting begins in less than two weeks so what's the current state of this presidential race Bob kusak is the editor of the hill and he joins us now welcome Bob what a difference a month Mak so what's your assessment of this race as it stands right now right before Labor Day well Trey right now it's a race again it's it's very similar to the race before the disastrous Biden debate uh Trump was winning uh back then and then then he looked like uh he was going to just dominate that race and and even uh I thought win the popular vote now things have changed we we are in a very close race now either side can win there are a lot of people out there believe it or not that haven't made up their mind uh so this is going to be a very important stretch uh for both candidates and the debate could make the difference all right Republicans and others some in the media complain that Harris is short on details and she won't answer questions but unless the voters make her force her to do so she really doesn't have to does she no she doesn't I mean think about it from uh the campaign's perspective she's on this really long honeymoon that continues and she's got this momentum but why uh you know a bad interview or really hurt that momentum especially going into the convention however as you know Trey she has committed to at least doing one major interview by the end of uh this month so that's basically over the next week but how many more is she going to do and she's got to answer so many questions about why she changed her position on Health Care energy uh compared to her 2019 bid and on guns as well uh that's going to be a difficult question for her to answer because obviously a lot of people think was for iCal expediency oh no it couldn't possibly be that who knows maybe frackie might come up I don't know Pennsylvania is important or not all right Robert Kennedy is out let's listen to what he said and I'll ask you about it on the other side president Trump had been reaching out to me and I talked to him a few hours after the assassination attempt and we had a long conversation by phone I then had two extensive meetings and there there were issues the broad issues that were most important to me the ones that brought me into the campaign those are all things that President Trump also wanted to work on and he invited me to form a Unity government I I I feel dumber than I usually do because I never really thought of Kennedy as a Republican or or even a highly coveted endorsement so was he promised a role in the Trump Administration I mean there rumors of Kennedy being CIA director over someone like John Lee Ratcliffe I mean that that stuns me what's going on here yeah the campaign is saying no there is no quidd proquo but as you know Trey I mean he Trump calls everybody if he doesn't like a story he'll call me I'm sure he calls you and he calls RFK Jr to get his endorsement and and Trump needs some good headlines uh so do I think it's going to make or break uh the Trump presidential bid probably not but it's good head L that that he's got a Kennedy on his side uh and maybe that helps with a few independent voters all right so the DNC convention speech has talked about pain and disunity and how awful things are and I sat there wondering whether they realize who's been in charge for the last three years I mean Democrats control the White House and the Senate right now so if things are really bad why isn't it their fault it's a good question it's another question that I think Harris is going to have to answer and Trump has mentioned it repeatedly uh whether it's on the economy or inflation uh the withdrawal a botch withdrawal deadly of Afghanistan uh you know Harris was the VP was she involved in those discussions or not and why is she is she just going to blame Biden for that uh and then she gets off scott free right now uh the voters are giving her a pass she's someone basically new in the race we really haven't seen much of Harris uh over the last three and a half years she's been kind of an invisible VP but now she's front and center and and she's got a shot to win this thing it's hard to hide when you are a candidate for the highest office in the world but we shall see Bob kuzak from the hill thank you for joining us thank you our candidates do change positions from time to time voters understand that but they want to know the reason the motivation for change is it real or is it Con is the change until the Wednesday after the election or is it forever Senator Harris was more liberal than current candidate Harris so where does she stand where does she really stand on energy and fracking whether the crossing of the Border should be a crime deporting criminals the wars in Ukraine in the Middle East and when it comes to military service those of us who did not serve should tread lightly but our next guest did serve so he's a good person to ask joining us is Congressman Seth Molton from the great state of Massachusetts welcome congressman and thank you for your service and uniform the military asked different people to do different things you were in combat but others are asked to serve in different capacity so in your judgment what are fair questions to ask and what's out of bounds when it comes to debating someone's military service well I think we should start by thanking everyone for their military service and we should be proud that the next Vice President of the United States is going to be a post 911 veteran that's the first time in history and as a post 911 veteran myself that's something I think we should celebrate especially at a time when we're having trouble recruiting enough people into our military so let's start there then the question is have you misrepresented your military service have you acted like you served in combat when you did not uh have you you know misrepresented the time that you were in service Tim wall has gotten some questions about this that I think are fair but when you dig into the details the allegations are just totally spous and that and that's those details really matter he misspoke once he used one incorrect word when he said he carried a weapon of war in war instead of during a war he's clarified that many times and he also is very clear about the fact that he achieved the rank of command sergeant major even though he didn't retire at that rank that's a a very commonplace uh situation in the military a lot of Republican military veterans in Congress have the have the same situation in fact Ronnie Jackson continues to place on his on his website that he retired as a rear Admiral uh when in fact he did not well that's why that's why I wanted to ask you because you've earned the right to weigh in on it you and I did not vote alike but there was never a day I did not respect your service to our country let's listen together to a political commentator and then I'm going ask you about it on the other side so the question is one of is the race going to be about personality if it is he loses or is it going to be about policy and if it is I think he probably wins because when you look at the data and you ask people whether they appreciate more the the I'll say the Biden Harris record or the Trump record they look back favorably on the Trump years all right Seth do you buy the argument that this race comes down to person ity versus policy and are there areas in your judgment where vice president Harris and President Biden differ on the policy well I mean I think that personality and policy are going to be a part of every race but in terms of you know what weight they carry I think remains to be seen a lot of people just take Trump at his word when he says he'll do things that don't really hold up he says he's going to have massive tariffs that people think sound good but actually tariffs increase inflation so if if you care about inflation and you want inflation to continue coming down it's been bad under the Biden Administration but they've done a remarkable job at bringing it down Trump is going to reverse that if if he follows through on his economic policies so it depends on how much people are willing to actually understand what these policy proposals mean or whether they're just going to take them at face value when the candidates get up there but I think vice president Harris has a real opportunity to differentiate herself on some of these issues you know a lot of people criticized her for being a vice president who's in the background who who wasn't involved in the day-to-day as much you can't have it both ways if you're going to believe that criticism then you can't blame her for all of Biden's issues I would like to see her come out with a different immigration policy for example to say here are the things I agreed with President Biden on and and by the way fewer people are crossing the border now than they did at the end of the Trump presidency that's something that should be a positive but there are also places where she can say here's things I would done differently so immigration is an area a great example of an issue where I hope the vice president actually differentiates her herself from from President Biden Seth I cannot have you on without asking you about a sensitive topic which is war Ukraine is now in Russia which may change the complexion of that war the Middle East seems on the brink of War what what a haris Administration do about either or both of those Wars well actually the Harris Administration is going to start with the premise that Republicans and Democrats in Congress agree on which is the most important threat the most serious threat to our national security isn't in the Middle East or in Europe it's with China in the Pacific if China goes ahead and invades Taiwan it would not only send us into a worse depression than the Great Depression but it could literally start World War III so that has to be the starting point and that's why the Biden Administration hased tried hard to avoid an escalation of war in the Middle East and it's why it's tried hard to avoid escalating the Ukraine War uh with with Russian further action into Europe if we don't stand with Ukraine then Russia could very well attack Europe and that means US troops are going to be involved and dragged into a European War if we allow Iran to get out of control and Israel and Iran start a shooting War again then that is going to potentially draw an American troops every one of those situations takes the eye off the ball which should be China Seth Molton thank you again for your service in uniform and thank you also for joining us on a Sunday night uh you you are uh one of a handful of Democrats that are willing to you are not the opponent of mine but but people may think that Republicans and Democrats can't have a civil conversation and you have proven otherwise so thank you for joining you're one of the few Republicans that I often tell my friends I get advice from and uh I appreciate the advice you gave me when I was a freshman in Congress and so so thank you for your service in Con in Congress as well and uh it's great to be on your show thank you SE I look forward to visiting with you real soon all right take care up next a third of the Senate is up for grabs and some vulnerable Democrats are keeping their distance from the ticket so will it work Senator Steve D is in charge of winning back the senate for the GOP and he joins us next on Sunday night in [Music] America welcome back to Sunday night in America for two years Barack Obama had the White House the house and the Senate and he passed Obamacare and the American people said enough Donald Trump and Joe Biden both had two years of total control and then they didn't the American people seem to prefer checks and balances and their reluctant to allow one party full control of government if Harris is indeed leading in the polls and impacting house races then it's going to come down to the Senate maybe the very State our next guest represents the great state of Montana so let's welcome Senator St Steve Danes from the great state of Montana West Virginia looks like a GOP pickup but the GOP is going to need one more which could be Montana Ohio n Arizona Pennsylvania Maryland which state is most likely to switch as we sit here tonight well well Trey I agree with you 100% the Senate is so critical it is the firewall for this country because remember the Senate uniquely has responsibilities for personnel we decide who's on the Supreme Court who the cabinet officials are going to be so we need that 51st seat to make sure we've got a republican majority United States Senate and as you mentioned West Virginia is over Governor Jim Justice will be the next senator from West Virginia now I think you look at Montana and you look at Ohio these are two red states where every single Statewide elected official is a republican except for John tester in Montana and Sher Brown in Ohio and in both of those States in Montana president Trump will win by about 20 points he's going to win Ohio by about 8 to 10 points so puts Tim sheii in Montana in a very strong position to win that Senate race and Bernie Marino in Ohio to win that Senate race right now looking at polling data uh since president Trump came to Montana on August 9th we had an amazing rally my hometown of bosan Montana we had 10,000 people in the basketball arena we had 8,000 more out in the parking lot on a jumbo trong cheering for president Trump cheering for Tim sheii and since that rally we've seen Tim she now move up in the polls he's consistently pulling about three to five points ahead of John Tes I'll tell you why he's polling strong it's not just because of what president Trump did this is a great American hero 200 combat missions as a Navy SEAL a graduate of the Naval Academy his wife is also a graduate of the Naval Academy a US Marine they sered in Afghanistan together he's got a Purple Heart a bronze star and Montana has the second highest per cap population of veterans he's a great business leader as well that's why Tim she is positioned to be that 51st seat to make sure we control the majority for the Republicans of the US Senate all right let me ask you about Ohio because I'm sure our viewers are wondering how Donald Trump can win Ohio overwhelmingly how JD Vance can be from Ohio and on the ticket and yet sherid Brown is the other Senator because shered Brown is not a moderate he is a full full-fledged liberal he is not Joe mansion He is a full-fledged liberal so how does the same state produce JD Vance and ched Brown well uh Trey I could not agree more with your assessment and this is because of money the Democrats are pouring so much money into a state like Ohio and Montana to cover up their very liberal positions the liberal votes they have taken remember kamla Harris has cast more time High breaking votes than any other vice president in our nation's history 33 and that includes the massive multi-trillion dollar stimulus packages the so-call inflation production act borrowed money inflationary and remember that shered brown and John tester have voted with kamla Harris 100% of the time and by the way if you like San Francisco politics Trey You're Gonna Love KLA Harris she is truly I serve with her she is truly a far less Progressive ranked the most liberal US senator when I served with her before she became vice president and so key here is going to be resources in Ohio we've got to get the resources to Bernie Marino to get his message out to combat Chuck Schumer and the massive liberal spending Avalanche happening in Ohio we have a website Senate 24.com that's a way that great Patriots around the country can help these candidates but I like Bernie's odds Bernie Marino is a great candidate he won his primary convin ly he's working very very hard another business guy he's down about three or four points in the polls at the moment but what tends to happen TR as get close to election day these Senate ballot numbers will start to match the presidential ballot if you look at the last few times president Trump been on the ballot 68 of 69 Senate races the winner of the presidency also won their party won the senate race so the only exception that was Susan Collins in Maine where Biden won Maine and Susan Collins won by nine so we like our OD in Ohio too Bernie's a terrific candidate he just needs a resource there to put that across the Finish Line you just gave me a great idea for a debate Senator Harris versus presidential candidate Harris that that would be a fun debate to listen to because she has certainly changed her position since she became the candidate Steve Dames from the great state of monana it will probably come down to your state and which of your hearty fellow citizens can Brave a an early November in Montana and go vote thank you for joining us on a Sunday night thanks TR coming up Public Safety Trump and Harris have different opinions South Carolina attorney general Allan Wilson is next to discuss which candidate is best to preserve your right to stay [Music] alive good evening and welcome to Fox News live on this Sunday night I'm Jackie ANZ in New York as November election draws closer and closer candidates are hot on the campaign Trail this week vice president kamla Harris and running mate Tim walz are barnstorming Georgia on a bus tour through the state Harris's campaign says it's raised $540 million since she launched her presidential bid a month ago meantime former president Trump will make stops in Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Robert Kennedy Jr says he plans to hit the campaign trail with Trump after endorsing him last week the bipartisan Congressional task force investigating the assassination attempt of former president Trump will visit the scene of the shooting tomorrow they're expected to issue an official report on their findings in mid December I'm Jackie aan now back to Sunday night in America for all of your headlines log on to foxnews.com [Music] crime in America is out of control I'm going to make it along with the economy inflation strong borders and energy dominance my top priority I'm including crime in America you know normally that's done locally and uh we're going to give the local people a lot of help welcome back to Sunday night in America crime is rarely the top issue but it's always lingering in the background if the economy is down steiling is up if the order is lack more Bad actors come if Republicans call prisoners who plead guilty hostages it sends a certain message if a vice president bonds violent protesters out of jail with Nar a word about the victims it matters Donald Trump knows crime as a state and local matter but he also knows the federal government has a role to play and KLA Harris should know that too because she once played that role she was a local da and the California AG but California prosecutors are different what we call tough on crime they call Smart on crime which actually isn't very smart at all in fact it's dangerous they don't believe in La prison sentences except for the police they believe in sanctuary cities they get energized when the capital is overrun but not when police stations or cour houses or retail stores are Harris wants you to reimagine or machinate a new Justice System defund the police the the the issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety for too long the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street well that's wrong reimagine I love that word so more cops is wrong would you would you prefer more criminals more social workers more guidance counselors why don't we try that next time a city is burning and protesters are setting things on fire let's call a social worker next time you hear something in your backyard let's call your psychologist see what happens joining us at South Carolina attorney general Alan Wilson welcome sir crime should be a good issue for Republicans but the media will likely make the point that one candidate is awaiting sentencing and awaiting trial and is not KLA Harris so who does the issue of crime help the most in your judgment well Trey first off this is a red herring talking about Trump and his legal issues is a complete red herring what I'm seeing right now is I've looked at how Biden and Harris both campaigned and governed over the last four years and what you see is is an Administration that over the last four years on day one they stopped building the border wall they repealed remain in Mexico they liberalized the public charge rule Mi easier for uh illegal aliens to remain on the public Dole um they in institutionalized Central American minor program which is an anchor parent program um every single thing that they've done to include uh relaxing the 287g program which creates Cooperative efforts between local and federal law enforcement uh and enforcing immigration laws which by the way we have three sheriffs out of 46 that actually have this program they have told me it has been watered down so much by this Administration that it is not worth having because of these policies my comment to them would be you don't have to help us just don't try to hurt us just get out of our way um the beginning of this year try uh we seized uh 1 kgam of meth and 1 and a half kilos of fenel that's enough to kill half a million people all of it came from South of the Border with Mexican drug cartels working with China and it's just pouring over to the southern border and it's coming into all 50 states every state is a border state and finally I just read an IG Report with the Department of Homeland Security this week where there are nearly 300,000 unaccompanied miners who they have not sent notices to appear yet out of that number approximately 32,000 they can't find her who never even appeared when they did sent them out so that number is probably higher you wonder who's feeding or what is feeding the human trafficking trade it's not being able to find these un company unaccompanied miners who came across the southern border this Administration has gotten in the way of law enforcement trying to do their jobs at the local level and we just want them to stop all right you put your finger on it and you know this cuz you've served your entire career most crime is state and local but the feds do play a role with funding success depends on coordination between state and federal prosecutors and cops so it does matter who the US attorney is and it does matter what priorities federal agents are given right well absolutely it matters who the US attorney general is it matters who the Secretary of Department of Homeland Security is we have people here who are actually working against us the the US attorney general under Obama tried to stop the State of Arizona from passing its own immigration enforcement laws that didn't contradict federal law it complemented them this attorney general under uh the Biden Harris Administration has fought Texas in trying to enforce its own border and immigration laws why are they fighting the states and trying to help them that is the question I have why do you not want local government or local law enforcement to work with federal law enforcement and securing our borders and going against a lot of the crime that's immigrating from South of the Border you know I wish I had an answer that question all I wondered that too even when I was in congress with your father we see people being raped and robbed and assaulted and killed by border crossers and the FEDS always want your help when it comes to drugs and other crimes but they never want your help when it comes to the border and I wonder why that is I don't know I I mean obviously if you ask the questions you know why are they opening up the southern border why are they trying to include illegals in in the s you know why are they trying to bait the hook and try to create more benefits for illegals who shouldn't be here why are they doing all these things I'll let the viewers judge for themselves the answer to that question but as a cynic and a skeptic I think I know why they're doing it yeah well I'm more cynical than you are and I know why they're doing it too they always want your help on everything except when it comes to immigration and the Border Alan Wilson the attorney general for the grace state of South Carolina thank you for joining us on a Sunday night thank you Trey up next Hamas took hostages last October 7th and they've had them ever since human lives being used as bargaining chips remember that when you see Pro Hamas protesters is there still a chance these hostages could still come home alive Rob Greenway was the National Security Council forly and he joins us after the break on Sunday night in America [Music] welcome back to Sunday night in America the Middle East is on a knife's edge and Benjamin Netanyahu vows quote more surprising blows are coming against Iranian back terrorist groups Israeli Defense Forces reportedly struck sights in Lebanon minutes before Hezbollah was planning to fire thousands of rockets into Central Israel Iranian threats linger as their proxies plan even more attacks on the Jewish State some us street corners in college campuses celebrate these killers of women and children the Biden Administration seems bent on negotiating with them we're engaged every single day uh with Israel and um our Qatari and Egyptian partners are engaged uh with Hamas over the coming days we are going to do everything possible to one get Hamas on board with the bridging proposal and then to make sure that both parties uh work on and agree to necessary details of implementation we need to get the ceasefire and hostage agreement over the finish line and we need to do it now joining us as former National Security Council and army special forces veteran Rob Greenway welcome Rob thank you for your service to our country Biden has not given up hope for a ceasefire so how can you how do you strike a deal with a group that butchers women in children well thanks for having me Trey and the answer is of course you don't look Israel is trying to conclude the conflict in in uh in Gaza on terms that are favorable prevent a reoccurrence that's understandable Hamas is trying to survive in the United States is drawing a false equivalence and as a result it's been disappointed at every turn most recently with the talks that BR down in Cairo and oddly enough his B's attack was planned to occur essentially as the talks were concluded so you can see the commitment on the other side of Iran surrogates and proxies obviously is not there and so while we've lived in a delusion in the Middle East since the Biden Harris Administration took office we furnished it now and insist that everyone else occupy it with them but it's not realistic all right let's listen to president Trump's former National Security advisor and I'll ask you about it on the other side and I think that the narrative that you constantly hear about turning down the temperature escalation management the reluctance really to confront Iran directly and oppose cost on Iran that actually gives Iran license to escalate on their own terms with impunity all right so if Iran is the head of the snake why is Biden so reluctant to confront the snake I mean president Trump had a different foreign policy strategy as it relates relateded to Iran but it just seems like Biden is is reluctant to confront Iran there's no question and we just saw the most recent demonstration look the introduction of US forces in the Middle East has been significant they we they know we have the capacity but they know we lack the will in the form of the Biden Harris Administration and so Israel stopped by preemptive strikes what the Biden Harris Administration could not do by appeasement in Iran and so General McMaster is exactly right in that a form of appeasement ultimately fails to succeed we've got eight American hostages still within Hamas custody we lost seven American lives in the last three weeks to Iranian sponsored Target serget and proxies and we've not yet responded to it and so unless this stops unless we begin to strike Iran at the source and hold them accountable the situation will continue to deescalate let's listen to the former president and I'll ask you about it on the other side we defeated Isis we killed the world's top terrorists we secured our orders we achieved energy Independence we stood up to China we protected Israel we made peace in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords if he were to win the presidency and he called you and said Rob tell me how I should handle Iran what would your answer be first and foremost to return to the policies that we pursued under his administration has to deny resources to Iran to further its nuclear program and to sponsor Target sry tar and terrorists across the region second support Israel our partners and allies with the capabilities required to stand up and support the United States and its effort to confront Iran and third hold Iran accountable for its actions including those by its surrogates and proxies if we do it as we've done in the past we've seen the results they'll back down if we don't they'll continue to charge forward and we'll pay the price all right and he's going to say rob that was a really quick answer I wasn't counting on it being that quick if you can solve that one how about the war in Eastern Europe what do we do about Ukraine and Russia I think there we're looking for conflict termination not an endless war of attrition we seen to be locked in I think there are two necessary ingredients the first is Russia has to pay a price economically their GDP grew at 3.6% last year that's a full point better than our own as long as that's the case they'll rebuild capability and continue to threaten not just Ukraine but all of NATO second our European Partners in NATO have to do their part and have to continue to support their own security and collective security and third I think at that point we can we can pursue terms favorable to the United States and our partners in Europe Rob Greenway thank you for your service to our country and with the Precision and concision with which you elucidate these issues for us on a Sunday night thank you my pleasure thanks for having me Tre coming up we listen to tomorrow's leaders and it will leave you with more than just a glimmer of hope that's next on Sunday night in America where were you born I was born in Iraq sir and why are you here I'm here because I want to serve the nation that gave me the American dream the US Army as a whole uh and the American institution has given my family an outlet to chase the American dream welcome back to Sunday night in America most of what we hear about young people today saddens us there's depression and loneliness and uncertainty about the future and a dangerous Reliance on social media that there are young people willing to serve this country because they believe in this idea called America Frank Lon sat down with some of these young people and what he found moved him and will likely move you too welcome Frank these young people could have gotten into any school in America and yet they chose was one of the toughest routes why they're exceptional and extraordinary human beings and only at West points because of their commitment to serve they don't think what can America do for me they think what can they do for America and they do it every single day prank people like uh talking about motive uh let's listen to what motivates these young people and then I'll ask you a question on the other side can several of you tell tell me what West Point means to you personally for me it's a calling it's a sense of Duty something that isn't tasked upon me but something that I feel as if I need to do for my family for my fellow Americans and most importantly for my friends here Duty the word Duty how did that strike you when you heard that I mean we don't hear that word that often in our culture the word Duty no and honor and country it's been the motto there for more than 100 years and they live it every single day I've had the chance to lecture up there and I'm going to be teaching there in the fall it's the greatest honor I've ever had because I truly place these Cadets above me because they place the country and the Constitution above everything else and they're dedicated to service they're dedicated to sacrifice and that's what makes them so remarkable Frank there are Elite schools which do not require the discipline of a West Point Let's listen together and find out why they chose this tougher route westw is really really good at finding something that you're bad at and they will make you get good at it they will force you and it it is really tough it builds a lot of character my dad was a former Marine and I'll never forget him telling me that they were not going to allow me to fail and I think being here there's not a single scenario that I can think of where someone would not be beside you behind you in front of you leading the way for you Frank I've watched the uh as much of this interview that you did as can be found and you seemed genuinely moved by some of what you heard so what hit you the hardest emotionally interacting and questioning these young people wouldn't want them as their kids this is everything we dream of not the selfishness and the self-centeredness but the idea that there is a bigger purpose in life and they want to serve that purpose you speak of how hard it is the challenges that they have I I followed them I can't pick up 100 pound ruck sack and put it on my back I can't carry a 20 or 30 lb gun and they do it for each other the level of commitment and the level of Courage that they have is something unprecedented and I'm thinking I would love to have one of these people as my children my child because it's everything that we as parents want to see in the Next Generation courage commitment service sacrifice it's who they are and it's how they live I think you answered it but I'm going to ask it anyway what what motivated you to want to do this project I mean you do focus groups all the time people pay you lots of money to figure things out this seemed to me like a labor of love for you uh it's more than that it's it's the reason why I'm here it's it's man you always figure out a way to to to get me I have seen the best of the best and they have the honor to try to provide them with the skills and the talents and to try to participate in that educational process and I'm listening to them speak and the level of sacrifice and they're telling me about the challenges of of their parents and one of the young gentlemen who was here lost his father in uh in the Afghan Iraqi War and yet he serves he's a gold star son and his story that he's telling me I can't help but being emotional we talk about service and sacrifice these young men and women and I want to emphasize the women now because they are truly incredible they are the best that America has to offer and they do it every day and they do it without apology and they do it without reward and it just it makes me feel great it makes me be a proud American Trey because they are the best there are prank it is about service and sacrifice but you have also provided us with more than a dash of Hope which is desperately needed in our culture so thank you for doing this and thank you for joining us on a Sunday night it's my privilege it's my honor and thanks thank you all for having an interest in what they do and how they do it and thank you for spending part of your Sunday with us I hope you have a great week ahead until next week you can find us online at gy America or on the trti podcast good night from South
