00:00:47.860 Glenn Youngkin for president. The New York Post over the weekend absurdly labeled Youngkin a quote
00:00:54.200 happy conservative warrior end quote. Youngkin is nothing more than an establishment rhino
00:01:00.660 and now apparently a tool of the donor class. The donors pushing Youngkin comes as Florida governor

00:01:46.040 counsel to the case late last week. Join us today on The Great America Show. Our guest is former
00:01:52.540 national security advisor to Mike Pence, General Keith Kellogg. He says people assume that because he
00:01:58.540 worked for Pence that he's a Pence guy. He says he's definitely a Trump guy and that's why he's endorsed
00:02:05.240 Trump over Pence for the 2024 nomination. There's a lot of people in the land out there that think
00:02:13.460 that because I was Vice President Mike Pence's national security advisor as a Mike Pence guy I
00:02:18.660 reminded everybody that now I've been with Donald J. Trump since 2015. I was there at the first you
00:02:23.740 know campaign we started I've always been with Donald J. Trump you know and when I had the opportunity I
00:02:29.320 think there was what 13 different candidates at the time running for the Republican nomination there was
00:02:34.300 only one guy that I really liked when I started sat down and talked with him and I really enjoyed it
00:02:39.240 and I got to know him personally not just professionally and and and I've got a real

00:03:15.660 make it very clear who I'm going to you know march down this path in the political lane for the next year year and a half.
00:03:24.260 So I it's sort of like clearing the air that's all I wanted to do boy it really did clear the air like okay
00:03:29.300 it got it out there but it but it was I was just an honest statement I sat down and wrote it
00:03:34.000 nobody asked me to do it I just said I just want to make sure that it's clear so
