0:02

So we've been talking on

0:04

this show. We've done some interviews

0:06

as of late about the midterm elections,

0:09

vitally important midterm elections coming

0:12

up on November eight. But

0:14

you know that I don't have to tell you. You understand

0:16

what is at stake as a nation,

0:19

or values at stake, who we are as a

0:21

country. Uh, protecting

0:23

us from the weaponization of government

0:25

and economy. I mean, Joe Biden killed the economy

0:27

and we witnessed the murder. We're all witnesses,

0:31

so we all know what's at stake. We know

0:33

that it's bad, we know that it needs to change.

0:35

We know that we need to make our voices heard. You will

0:37

know this. But if you're

0:40

in Alaska, you also have a choice between

0:42

two Republicans and

0:44

that changes things too. I mean, we need to change

0:46

the balance of power in the Senate.

0:49

We need Republicans to win the majority, but

0:51

we also need people who are going to

0:53

go there and and aren't just Republican

0:55

in name only right, they're actually

0:57

standing up for us. They share our value,

1:00

they're willing to fight for us. And

1:02

we know that's not Lisa Maurkowski.

1:05

She says she's a Republican, but she voted

1:08

to convict former

1:10

President Trump and his second impeachment

1:12

trial. She has voted

1:14

with Joe Biden. She has endorsed

1:17

the Democrat candidate who is running

1:19

for Alaska's only House seat, the Democrat

1:22

there in that race, She's voted for

1:24

that individual. She

1:26

has sold us out. She's

1:29

not a Republican. She's as much of a Republican as

1:31

Liz Cheney. But if

1:34

you're in Alaska, you have a choice. But

1:36

if you're in Alaska, you have a choice. There's also Kelly

1:38

Chebacca, and so you have a choice

1:41

on November eight to send

1:43

a Republican who's actually going to

1:45

stand up for you, who actually is going

1:48

to share your values. Kelly was the first

1:50

person in her family to go to college

1:52

and then to law school. Her parents

1:55

were working class, They worked hard to provide a living

1:57

for her, and throughout her career she's

1:59

worked a whole government accountable. She's

2:02

worked in the Office of the Inspector General

2:04

for the Department of Justice. She has worked

2:06

as an advisor to the Inspector General

2:09

of the Intelligence Community and

2:11

various jobs like that. So she's worked in these

2:13

positions where she has witnessed

2:16

how government does us wrong, how

2:18

government fails us, and how we need to

2:21

hold government accountable, which is kind of important

2:23

if you look at what's been going on in the country

2:26

when you look at that we have a Department of Justice

2:28

that is targeting pro life Americans,

2:31

as we've covered on this podcast, as

2:33

we look at a Department of Justice that has targeted

2:35

parents, a Department of Justice,

2:38

and an FBI that has targeted,

2:40

for the first time ever, a former

2:43

president basically over and overdue

2:45

library book. So if there's ever

2:47

a time to elect people that

2:49

want the whole government accountable, now is

2:51

that time. And so the reason why there

2:53

are two Republicans running against

2:56

each other in Alaska is because

2:58

of this funky ballot measure

3:00

to which was approved during the Alaska

3:04

elections. And so this

3:06

is actually the first time that

3:08

a state election and Alaska is going

3:10

to be held under this new election process.

3:13

And basically what it means is all candidates

3:15

ran and a non partisan blanket

3:17

taught for primary and that was

3:19

on August six, two thousand twenty

3:22

two, and then the top four candidates advance

3:24

to the general election and

3:27

voters will be using a ranked

3:29

choice voting process during the

3:31

general election. One of the other Republicans

3:34

who had emerged. Buzz Kelly had

3:36

also advantaged the general election, but he suspended

3:38

his campaign and actually endorsed Kelly

3:41

Chebaca. Who are we gonna be talking to today?

3:43

And we know Kelly is good because the people

3:46

we hate hate her, or the people

3:48

that we don't think are doing a good job hate

3:50

her. Like Mitch McConnell, his

3:52

Senate Leadership Fund is actually spent millions

3:55

of dollars in attack ads against Kelly.

3:58

He's been trying to boost Lee to Murkowski.

4:00

Why do we think that is because Lisa Murkowski

4:03

is a reliable vote for Mitch McConnell, but also

4:05

sadly, a reliable vote for Democrats

4:07

as well. Yes, we have a choice this election

4:10

cycle. We have a duty to

4:12

win back the Senate as Republicans,

4:15

to get a Senate majority again, get a House

4:17

majority again, to get Republican governors

4:20

in office, and Republicans around the country

4:22

from the top of the ticket down. We have to

4:24

do this. We need to change the direction

4:27

of the country. But if you're in Alaska,

4:29

you have the opportunity to send

4:31

a real Republican to Washington,

4:33

d C. Not another list Cheney. So

4:35

that's who we're going to talk to today, Kelly

4:37

Chebaka running for Senate in

4:40

the great state of Alaska.

4:57

We've got Kelly Chebaka here running

4:59

for se that in Alaska. You know, Kelly, the beautiful

5:01

thing about your race is that we're

5:04

going to have a Republican but with you, we'll

5:06

get a real Republican. Yeah,

5:09

that's absolutely right. So in Alaska, Murkowski

5:12

is such a bad Republican votes with

5:14

Biden eighty percent of the time that our Alaska

5:16

Republican Party censured her and removed

5:19

her from membership before I ever announced

5:21

my race. They said Murkowski is not our

5:23

candidate. We're just looking for somebody else.

5:26

And so the race has now come down to

5:28

a head to head between me and Murkowski.

5:30

Because the election system in

5:32

Alaska is a little bit different. We have a ranked

5:34

choice system. The polls are saying we're tied fifty

5:37

fifty. It's a tight race. Alaskans

5:39

are going to get to decide, and of course the

5:41

determination that the voters make will affect

5:43

the outcome of the nation because so many times Murkowski's

5:46

vote is one that affects the outcome

5:48

of the nation. The establishment is with her from

5:51

Biden to McConnell. McConnell's flooding our

5:53

state with millions of dollars outside dark

5:55

money to try and pull for Murkowski. But

5:58

Alaskans are definitely on a movement to

6:00

try and get her out of the seat because

6:02

I think we don't want a senator who's bought and bullied

6:04

by the establishment in DC. We want our Laska

6:06

voice represented. I'm confident we're going to win

6:08

on November eight, and it's going to mean a big difference

6:10

for the country. Well, and McConnell's spending money against

6:13

you is incredibly frustrating because the balance

6:16

of the Senate hags in power.

6:18

Right we we he needs to be spending money

6:20

helping Blake Masters get over the finish

6:23

line, uh, you know, or getting Don

6:25

Bulldock in New Hampshire across the finish

6:27

line, not spending money against

6:29

you a Republican. That's absolutely right, Lisa.

6:32

We know that he actually pulled money from those

6:34

other races to come up here

6:36

and try and get his friend Makowski

6:38

across the finish line. That means that we

6:40

could lose the majority in the Senate,

6:43

so Mitch McConnell can make sure he preserves

6:46

his role as Senate minority

6:48

leader. He's more interested in maintaining

6:50

a minority he can control than

6:53

ensuring we have a majority that

6:55

Mitch McConnell can't control, in one that he might

6:58

not be the leader of. That is not the

7:00

best interests of Americans or of

7:02

common sense Republican values, and

7:04

it will come at the harm of all of us because

7:06

of this decision he's made. And

7:08

it's also a direct defiance of the will

7:10

and determination of the Republicans here in Alaska.

7:13

The Republican Party didn't start in Washington,

7:15

d C. It started in grassroots

7:17

America's people coming around common values.

7:19

So this directly the five government of the people,

7:21

by the people, for the people. It's

7:24

more of a result of these politicians

7:26

and establishment people in d C. Biden,

7:28

McConnell, Murkowski, all of them telling

7:31

us people out here in America what's best for us.

7:33

You know, their quality of life goes up, our cost

7:35

of living goes up, and this is what we're tired of. We

7:38

want to take our country and we want to lead

7:40

it forward. Why do you think he's so invested

7:42

in helping Lisa Murkowski, Because

7:45

I know that. I think the reason is

7:47

he knows he can control her vote. The Exchange

7:49

comments to the media when he said he was going to invest

7:52

seven to nine million in this race, he

7:54

said, Murkowski is a vote that we can

7:57

depend on, a reliable vote. I think that means a reliable

7:59

vote for McConnell as leader and reliable

8:02

but when he needs her. She voted with McConnell

8:04

and Biden on extreme gun control and red flag

8:06

laws earlier this year. That goes against the values

8:09

of Alaskans. Even Democrats carry guns up

8:11

here. But I also think that

8:13

that he knows that I'm not one of those

8:15

votes, is going to just do whatever McConnell wants.

8:18

I have a long career of holding government

8:20

insiders accountable and exposing waste, fraud,

8:22

and abuse. I won't be bullied, silenced,

8:24

or controlled by the DC insider establishment.

8:27

But I think that's all McConnell is really concerned about.

8:30

Lisa mccowski has become part of the DC establishment.

8:32

She's an insider through and through well. But

8:34

she's also supported Democrats, and I mean she's

8:36

voted for Biden's Interior

8:38

Secretary, Deb Howland. She's

8:41

also endorsed the Democrat

8:43

candidate who's running for Alaska's only

8:45

House seats, so you know it's not even like a

8:48

vote for the establishment Republicans.

8:50

I mean, she's working with Democrats, that's

8:52

absolutely right. I'm not confidence that Mitch McConnell

8:55

is sold out on a Republican agenda. I mean,

8:57

I've asked this question before. Can anyone tell

8:59

me what Mitch McConnell and

9:02

as leader of the Republicans, wants to accomplish

9:04

in the next two years or four years. I

9:06

saw him give the Democrats the grain

9:08

light to raise the debt ceiling. It seems

9:11

like we're the ones as Republicans

9:13

in the Senate who are always bending over and giving

9:15

the Democrats whatever they want. And

9:17

so I'm not confident that Mitch McConnell

9:20

is actually looking out for Republicans

9:22

and our platform and our interests. I think

9:24

Mitch McConnell's looking out for himself. Remember,

9:26

all these people are friends, and they love to go to their little

9:29

social parties and Washington d C. Social

9:31

circuits. But what are we actually

9:33

advancing as a Republican party

9:35

as platform values. It's

9:37

time for Americans with courage and common

9:40

sense to rise together and leave this nation

9:42

forward. I think that's a real direct threat to

9:44

McConnell and what he's looking out for,

9:46

which is me myself and I You know, you talked

9:48

about a lot of the work you've done and holding

9:50

government accountable. So you've done

9:52

work in the Inspector General's Office for the Department

9:54

of Justice, or the Inspector General's Office

9:57

overlooking the intelligence community.

9:59

Through that work that you've done, what did

10:01

that teach you about government? What

10:03

should people know about how government

10:05

operates? Well, one thing that's exciting is

10:08

government can be good. Government

10:10

can be for us in there are ways to

10:12

get the bureaucracy to work and vend

10:14

it's me to the will of the people. And that's what I've developed

10:17

expertise in. I will be the only one

10:19

of the hundred senators who has worked

10:21

from the bottom up to senior management,

10:23

always in a watchdog role, making government

10:25

more efficient and effective. I've

10:27

been able to return billions of dollars to

10:30

taxpayers and streamline operations,

10:32

make things work effectively. And when

10:34

we walk in on day one, last skill

10:37

have a senator has thousands of law enforcement

10:39

officers and lawyers and auditors

10:41

that will be able to use embedded in Biden's

10:43

bureaucracy to start getting these agencies

10:45

and departments to work for Alaska in

10:48

America, not against us. None of the other senators

10:50

have that experience, knowledge and ability,

10:52

and that will be a really great asset for us. The

10:55

other thing I think I learned, and this is what got

10:57

me to pursue this as a career and not just as a first

10:59

job. If you don't have people like

11:02

me making government work for us, it's

11:04

not always for us, Lisa. One

11:06

of my first cases was an

11:08

allegation against FBI and Department

11:10

of Justice officials that they abused Americans

11:13

and violated their rights. In the case have been closed. Allegations

11:15

were not substantiated, they didn't do

11:17

it, and I was assigned to just review the report and

11:19

put it out. And I went to my boss and said, there's

11:21

some loose threads here, and he said, well, you reinvestigate

11:24

it, and I did. I got an agent to turn

11:26

against the other agents. I found evidence that they

11:28

tried to destroy, and the case went all the way to the US

11:30

Supreme Court. It turns out they did do

11:32

it. And that's when I realized, if you don't have

11:34

people in like me in here, it

11:36

won't be bullied and won't be bought by the establishment,

11:39

government can get away with everything. And

11:42

that's why I decided to make it my career. I want to make

11:44

sure government works for the people and

11:46

not against us, and so I

11:48

dedicated my career to this, and that's what I'm trying

11:50

to do here for Alaska and the U. S. Senate

11:52

makes this work for us, not against us. Well,

11:54

And Kellett's a real concern for so many Americans

11:57

right now is I mean a lot of people we fear the

11:59

government right and when we've seen them target

12:01

parents the d o J and calling them domestic

12:04

terrorist. We've seen former

12:06

the president Trump for the first time in American

12:08

history, uh, the FBI reading a

12:11

former president's home. We've see what they're doing

12:13

to Steve Bannon simply for not

12:15

responding to a subpoena when air

12:17

holder can do whatever he wants and that's not a big deal. So

12:20

we've really arrived at this point where Americans fear

12:22

government. How do you think

12:24

we got here? One part of it is I don't think

12:26

Congress is really doing the job it could

12:28

do in its oversight Authority. Article

12:31

one section makes clear in the Constitution

12:33

it's Congress's job to hold the executive

12:35

branch accountable these inspector general

12:38

offices that I worked in. They have a role to play

12:40

as internal affairs within the

12:42

departments. However, fundamentally, um

12:45

Congress is supposed to be the check

12:47

and balance on the executive branch, and

12:49

so many times it seems that they're

12:52

distracted with other things. Hopefully it

12:54

as gently as we can, and but they're not

12:56

actually doing the job of budgeting in

12:58

government and reigning in their authorities

13:00

when there's an abusive authority. For example,

13:03

we have a senior position on the Appropriations

13:05

Committee with Makowski right now, but in the last twelve

13:07

years, they haven't only passed one appropriation

13:10

still on time. They've now gotten in the habit of just passing

13:13

continuing resolutions, budgeting same

13:15

budget last year, same budget last year. It's like giving

13:17

your teenager a fifty dollar bill for allowance

13:19

every year for every week and saying I don't

13:21

only care what you're doing, I don't really care what you spend it. You're gonna

13:23

have a runaway teenager and you have a runaway

13:26

of bureaucracy. It's Congress's job

13:28

to protect us. They're supposed to be the defense line

13:30

for the Constitution and protecting the people,

13:32

and I think it's times they get back to really focusing

13:35

on doing the fundamental basics of the job. Quick

13:37

break back with Kelly Chebaca running

13:39

for Senate in Alaska. So

13:44

many Americans right now are feeling

13:46

the financial pain of the Biden administration,

13:49

Like the intentional decisions the Biden administration

13:52

has made to horror Americans financially

13:54

and the pain that their experienced. And I was reading about your background.

13:57

So your parents were homeless for a little

13:59

while, and they really fought their way

14:02

to build a better life for for you

14:04

guys and for your family. You were the first person in your

14:06

family to go to college and then law

14:08

school. I think one of the biggest problems with d C right

14:11

now, there's a lot of these guys and and

14:13

you know women in instance of Murkowski,

14:16

they're immune to the policies that they're implementing.

14:18

But with your background, it seems like you would

14:21

understand a lot of the suffering

14:23

that's going onto the country right now. Talk a little

14:25

bit about that, at least I think

14:27

you put it well. Energy policy

14:29

and economic policy, Um,

14:32

this is all family policy and worker

14:34

policy for us right now. You're absolutely

14:36

right, My parents story is very

14:38

close to home, and for a lot of US Alaskans,

14:41

you can't go from you know, place

14:43

of poverty into the fighting in the working

14:46

class under the economic

14:48

um burden that the Biden administration

14:50

is placed on this and Murkowski's helps with that.

14:53

They've added five trillion to the national

14:55

debts since Biden has been president,

14:57

and Murkowski has enabled that and voted

14:59

for trillions of that in spending

15:02

that really hurts our pocketbooks in Alaska.

15:04

We're eating the food that we canned and caught

15:07

and killed because we have to. And

15:09

no other state in the nation has been targeted for shutdown

15:11

like the Biden administration, and Murkowski

15:14

has enabled that. Like you said, she cast the

15:16

tie breaking vote for the radical environmentalists

15:19

in Biden's administration who has

15:21

completely sabotaged our

15:23

economy and killed our jobs. And we are

15:25

feeling it. And when you don't

15:28

understand the consequence of the votes that you're

15:30

making, you don't understand that politics is

15:32

personal. Is personal for us

15:34

out here and the real world living it on

15:37

the ground, and we're not looking for politicians, We're

15:39

looking for public servants, the people who understand

15:41

that you're supposed to serve us and make

15:43

things easier and better for us, and not

15:46

just do what makes you popular in DC with

15:48

your friend Joe Biden or your friend Mitch McConnell.

15:50

And we're tired of paying the price for Murkowski's

15:53

popularity in DC. We're looking for someone

15:55

who's going to make life easier and better

15:57

for us and not send us backwards and make things

15:59

harder. How much damage has Joe

16:01

Biden done to Alaska's energy industry.

16:04

I don't even think we could quantify it. I mean, it's

16:07

it's devastating. I get

16:09

these texts all the time. People can't

16:11

pay for gas and groceries this week. We are terrified

16:14

about how we're going to pay for our

16:16

heating in our homes. And I'll feed

16:18

our kids this this winter. We

16:20

I mean where I am right now, about on a

16:22

two week road trip um doing Galt

16:25

to Vote rallies and stopping in diners and knocking

16:27

on doors in every community. I'm about to go knock on bars

16:29

right now in a little town called Delta Junction.

16:32

It's nine degrees and it's October.

16:34

We haven't even hit the dead of winter yet, but

16:37

we have had our industries completely shut

16:39

down. Oil and gas and mining and timber.

16:42

We don't have fish running in our our rivers

16:44

and streams, and we live off the fish to feed our

16:46

families. Everything is shut down

16:49

and and it's we're in a panic

16:51

at this point, Lisa, that's how bad

16:53

it is. But again, the decisions that

16:55

are being made up here by the Biden administration

16:57

are being made by these radical nominees that

16:59

have been firmed by our senator. And that's what hurts

17:02

is it was our senator and our leader who

17:04

made these decisions. It feels like a complete

17:06

betrayal. And this affects all of

17:08

America. You see in Alaska, our

17:10

oil and gas it could power America,

17:13

and our minerals that can advance America.

17:15

And stead we're going over to China. Our our timber

17:17

and our logs can build America.

17:19

Our fish can feed America. Our

17:21

national security posture, we're able to protect

17:23

America. Of course, our tourism inspires

17:26

America. But we are not able to do any

17:28

of that when the Biden administration has shut us

17:30

down with twenty six direct executive actions

17:32

leveled at us to harm us and sabotage

17:35

our economy, crush our families, and

17:38

you know, kill our jobs and workers. We

17:40

can't do any of that without bold leadership in d

17:42

C that won't be silenced and won't be bullied

17:45

by this Biden administration. This Senate seat

17:47

affects every person in America because

17:49

I believe Alaska is the foundation for a strong

17:51

America. And that's the thing. I mean, Republicans

17:53

we need to win back the Senate,

17:55

but we also need Republicans who

17:57

are going to hold the Biden administrations feed

17:59

to a fire, because you know, what's the point of having

18:02

a Republican in name only if they're

18:04

if they're not getting the job done, or they're not going to stand

18:06

up for Alaskans or Republicans around

18:08

the country as well. Yeah, that's absolutely

18:11

right, and we've got to have a

18:13

defense line. If you will this looking out for

18:16

America first, and if

18:18

your listeners want to help, I'm at Kelly for a

18:20

k dot com. We need all the help we can get. Every

18:22

little bit will help in these last couple of days because

18:25

it's it's all boots on the ground at this point.

18:27

We can win this Fennessy, And they're saying the sentence is going

18:29

to be close to tide, and this

18:31

this seat is often the deciding vote. You know, she

18:33

opposed Brett Kavanaugh, and she joined

18:36

the Democrats and filibustering Amy Coney Barrett.

18:38

But she was one of those key votes hit to get Biden's

18:41

Kitangi Brown Jackson over the finish line.

18:43

And these are just appalling votes for us. These are

18:45

not in line with Alaska values. Definitely not

18:47

helpful for America. First once she voted

18:49

to impeach Donald Trump as well. Uh,

18:53

you know, Americans are also just saying

18:55

our values attacked as a country

18:58

and just the way of life change that

19:00

what we believe in who we are as a society. I

19:02

mean, we see Democrats cheering

19:04

on the mutilation of children. Uh

19:07

no longer is their stance on abortion

19:09

safe, legal and rarer. They support abortion

19:11

up until the moment of birth. Just

19:13

the indoctrination of kids

19:16

and a lot of these schools. So

19:18

what are your thoughts and just where we stand

19:20

as a country from a value standpoint.

19:23

I think there's uh, it seems to be

19:25

like a value battle kind of

19:28

raging. But it's it seems to be prompted

19:30

by people who are just trying to divide us. When

19:33

I'm out, you know, knocking doors and talking

19:35

to real Alaskans. I don't actually see

19:37

that much division in society,

19:40

and in real society, we actually

19:42

agree on most things. It seems like

19:44

there's a concerted

19:46

effort by people who are given

19:49

a lot of media attention and a lot of microphone

19:52

in an attempt to divide us and split

19:54

up into camps and teams. And

19:56

then what I see is this um,

19:59

this politics of division. It

20:01

then leads to so much um

20:03

concerned and chaos

20:06

and confusion that they then are

20:08

able to swoop in with a large government

20:10

solution, and it sort of then

20:12

feeds into this momentum,

20:14

this leading towards the

20:16

socialist movement or this communist

20:19

movement, And I don't think that's pro America

20:21

at all. I think we are as

20:23

a country united in our diversity.

20:26

That's what the United States is supposed to be about.

20:28

We're allowed to have freedom of speech and freedom

20:30

of ideas, and we're supposed

20:32

to have diversity and even differences,

20:35

but differences doesn't need to be

20:37

division and discord and hatred,

20:40

and so I don't really ascribe to any of that. I don't

20:42

really ascribe to this um affinity

20:45

that I'm seeing for discrimination

20:48

and what they seem to be promoting

20:51

that you know that we're going to protect

20:53

some rights at the expense of other

20:55

people's rights. I don't really like any

20:57

of that that we're seeing, and I don't see how here in every

21:00

day America and every day Alaska, and

21:02

so I really think it's time for us to have some

21:04

leaders that stand up and really demonstrate and model

21:06

that and push against it, even though I'm

21:09

I see it coming at a cost. It because coming at a cost

21:11

in our campaign, but I'll also see

21:13

that we have the momentum with us that there's more of

21:15

us standing up and saying that one of the Democrats

21:17

who is running on our ticket for U. S. Senate,

21:20

he's come behind us and endorsed

21:22

me for Senate and his campaigning with us because

21:24

of this. There are so many more things

21:26

that we agree on than that we disagree

21:29

on, and we don't have to be divided in

21:31

order to maintain our differences, but also

21:33

say there's common purposes that we all can

21:35

actually unite towards. Similarly,

21:38

people remember the infamous Murkowski

21:40

right in campaign led by one of our

21:42

rural Alaska natives. She's not a Republican

21:45

and she's one of the co chairs on our campaign.

21:47

UM, I think that there's new ways that people can

21:49

kind of boldly lead us forward in that that

21:52

amazing tradition we started as America

21:55

to say we are United States

21:57

of America. We can be different but still

22:00

united, and I think that's the direction I'd

22:02

like to take us. But I do believe we need to

22:04

be united and protecting children. I mean,

22:06

the cultural issues are deeply important to me

22:08

because I believe that they are what defined

22:11

us as a society and who we

22:13

are as a nation, of what our values are

22:15

as a country. And I think that the most

22:17

important thing is to protect the

22:19

most vulnerable, which our children. Yeah.

22:21

Absolutely, As the mom of five kids, all school

22:24

age, I totally agree with you. And

22:26

our children are very impressionable. And the people

22:28

who should have the most to say and

22:30

what goes into our children's formation is the

22:32

parents. I would support creating

22:34

a national bill of rights for parents

22:36

that all parents are protected and

22:38

what their kids are exposed to. And ideological

22:41

indoctrination in schools, I

22:44

don't really see a place on it. I think our school should

22:46

really be focusing on the basics, reading,

22:48

writing, arithmetic, and here in Alaska

22:51

that's really critical right now. At

22:53

least are Our current literacy rates are

22:55

dropping below statewide

22:57

for our children in Alaska, and our math proficient

23:00

and see rates are covering at that same level. We

23:02

don't really have time for our teachers

23:04

to be focusing on other things. We

23:07

really need to get back to the basics so that

23:09

our kids are competitive and at

23:11

least have a fighting chance of successful

23:13

life and adulthood. We want them to be

23:15

fully functional and literate. I agree with that.

23:17

And uh, you know, our school should be focused

23:20

on teaching children, not trying to, you

23:22

know, in doctrinate them and or try to get them

23:24

to change their gender. Uh, Kelly Travaka,

23:26

anything else you want to leave us with before we go? I've

23:29

I've been on the campaigner before. I know

23:31

how busy you are and how crazy it is right now

23:33

and the home stretch. Anything you'd like to leave us with.

23:36

I believe that the choice in every ballot

23:38

box this November it breaks downing

23:40

this. You've got to decide who you stand with. Are we going

23:42

to stand with the American people and

23:44

the families that are suffering and the workers

23:46

that are being crushed that's one candidate,

23:49

or are you're going to see in with Joe Biden and the radical

23:51

environmentalists and the special interest that have ties

23:54

to this White House. That's your other

23:56

candidate. It's just that simple. In Alaska,

23:59

I'm the candidates. It's out there knocking on the

24:01

doors of these families and shaking hands

24:03

with these workers and funded by these grassroots

24:05

Alaskans that are suffering. And

24:07

Lisa Mankowski is the one who's been standing with

24:09

Joe Biden, who confirmed these radical

24:11

environmentalists, and who is funded by all this special

24:14

interest dark money coming into our

24:16

state. That's how our race is breaking down. But I'll

24:18

tell you, Lisa, every voting booth

24:20

across the nation has the exact same

24:23

choice. And I am just believing

24:25

that Americans are going to make the right choice and

24:27

that we're going to lead our country forward with

24:29

people who care about America and our

24:31

workers and our families. So November

24:33

eight, there's going to be a strong statement from

24:35

Americans and this is a country

24:37

of the people, by the people, for the people. And I still

24:39

believe that range No, I agree it's time to take the country

24:42

back. Kelly, thanks so much for joining the show.

24:44

Good luck to you. Thanks so much. I meant Kelly

24:46

Freak dot com if people want to learn more, I'll talk

24:48

to again. Lisa. By bye.

25:00

M h. That

25:05

was Kelly to blacka running

25:08

for the Alaska Sentence Week down to either

25:10

her early summer counsel. So if

25:12

you're an Alaska and you're listening, she

25:15

was wise saying that it's up to you, but we need

25:17

Republicans who are actually gonna fight for us

25:20

and share our values. Thanks so much for

25:22

listening to the show. I want to thank

25:24

Drew Steele for stepping in and helping out today.

25:26

And I want to thank you at home for listening every

25:29

Monday and Thursday. But you can listen throughout

25:31

the week. And I always love reading reviews. If you

25:33

don't mind going Apple podcasts and just letting

25:36

us know what you think. Take care of

25:38

guys,
