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
00:02:44.180
a real like for for him both again personally and professionally. So when you started seeing all the
00:02:51.640
campaign stuff start to kick in right now there were a lot of people saying well okay you know
00:02:58.180
you we see you on the news networks on Fox News and the chyron says national security advisor to Vice President
00:03:04.980
Pence and and I said yeah I just wanted to clear the battlefield up. I said okay let me just make it sure
00:03:09.780
absolutely clear that there is one guy that I've always been with one that I'm going to be with and I want to
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
00:03:38.060
