You want to listen to a podcast?
By who?
Georgia GOP Congressman Doug Collins.
How is it?
The greatest thing I have ever heard in my whole life.
I could not believe my ears.
In this house, wherever the rules are disregarded, chaos and mob rule.
It has been said today, where is bravery?
I'll tell you where bravery is found and courage is found.
It's found in this minority who has lived through the last year of nothing but rules being broken, people being put down, questions not being answered, and this majority say, be damned with anything else.
We're going to impeach and do whatever we want to do.
Why?
Because we won an election.
I guarantee you, one day you'll be back in the minority and it ain't gonna be that fun.
Hey everybody, it's Doug Collins.
Welcome back to the Doug Collins Podcast.
Glad to have you being a part.
Summer has kicked in, and with everything going on, it's been great.
I know we've had a lot of episodes this year, and I actually brought back a couple last week for you to go back and dive deep into.
But we're starting off this week, I wanted to jump into a few things.
We're just going to talk off the top of my cuff.
It's going to be sort of one of those Uh, for me, you know, we've had, uh, and we may even, you know, look at a little bit more.
We've had the, I'm done with you segment here before we may do another one pretty soon, but it's just, I'm getting tired of what we're perceived and what is actually happening when the headlines don't match reality.
And when I've talked about that, we've talked about this before.
One of the issues that we're dealing with, and just waking up, you know, just the other day, and I was looking at these, I mean, we have, in a country in which we have 9.1% inflation, I'm not kidding you, 9.1% inflation, you know, I guess, and the Biden administration's response is, wait till next month!
Okay.
Come on, really?
That's your response?
Wait till next month?
Because, you know, they're saying, well, gas prices dropped, a little bit of this dropped.
We also saw a strong economic number, which is going to guarantee you, folks, I'm going to tell you right now, if you're looking at this economically, you're getting ready to see another.75 increase in the interest rate.
We've talked about this.
It wouldn't even almost shock me to see a 1% interest rate, which would be the highest it's been in almost 40 years to match the inflation.
They got to figure out a way from their perspective to get this inflation number down because you have prices going up, you have job growth growing, and you have wages going up, which is all a mixture of keeping inflation very high.
And this is causing the Biden administration just an immense amount of trouble.
So when you look at the things going on, You have Ukraine.
Again, the Biden administration's answer to everything is Putin's war in Ukraine.
I mean, at this point in time, I've really...
And I'm not trying to be funny here with you, but if you're listening to the podcast this morning, maybe you can agree with this.
If it wouldn't be just...
Even the mainstream media couldn't go along with it.
I would almost say that the Biden administration would blame COVID on Biden invading Ukraine.
Because so far, they've blamed Biden...
His administration has blamed Putin's war in Ukraine on almost everything, from gas prices to food shortages to everything else.
A lot of things not being discussed there, and we'll get to those probably in future podcasts, but when we've got issues of...
Food shortages.
We've got issues because Ukraine is a breadbasket to many parts of the world, especially Africa.
These are things that are coming out of this.
I'm laying out all of these things.
We have a summer in a year in which crime is going through the roof.
These George Soros-directed DAs all over the country are just not prosecuting crime.
In fact, we just had the DA in Manhattan Actually charged a man who was attacked in a store.
I kid you not.
He actually charged the one who was protecting himself.
You can't make this stuff up, folks.
And this is all in the backdrop of coming up of a 2022 election in November.
You have a Biden administration that's completely rudderless.
You just had the First Lady compare Latino and Hispanics to being a breakfast taco.
The diversity of this community, as distinct as the Bogodá's of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength. and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San
I mean, for all the stuff in the Trump administration, or even going back to Obama or even George Bush, I mean, can you imagine the first lady of any of the other administrations, especially the Trump administration, or go back to the W. Bush administration and had Laura or you had one of the Trump or go back to the W. Bush administration and had Laura or Ivanka or Don Jr. or Eric, or you had Melania.
Say and compare in a speech, even seemingly if there was in a joking manner, to Hispanics being as different as breakfast tacos?
This is, again, and it's almost crickets from the media about this.
It was sort of bluffed over.
Nobody said anything.
But yet, a retired general who, after Jill Biden on her account tweeted something, it was about abortion and talking about women, basically just made a comment on it.
He's retired now.
Don't you understand?
He's retired basically saying something to the effect of now at least they're discussing women or know what a woman is.
He was...
Retired Lieutenant General Gary Valesky was suspended from basically a volunteer role that he was doing in supporting active duty advisors, and he was suspended from that role for critical comments made about the First Lady.
I can't make this up, folks.
You really, really can't make this up.
But while we're on this topic, something that I touched on in one of our previous podcasts, I wanted to go and I promise that we go a little deeper in it this morning and we're going to do that.
And that is there's a disconnect and a concern that I'm going to bring to you today.
And I'm simply going to put this as straightforward as I can, because most all of you know that I'm in the United States Air Force Reserve, and there's a problem developing.
And I want to lay out this problem simply from the perspective of here's the problem.
And what do we do about it?
Now, one of the things that I brought out before, and we've talked about this before, is this absolutely, absolutely terrible year of recruiting in the military.
The Army is barely at 50%, probably a little bit under 50% of their recruiting goals.
They're not making their recruiting goals.
They say this goes back as the worst recruiting year since Vietnam era.
You had some problems back in the Iraq war era.
Again, it does go up and down, especially with economy, but also if there's conflict or something such as Vietnam.
You're going to see a volunteer army take a little bit of a hit.
People are just more hesitant.
Families are more hesitant to let young people join.
There's a lot of, especially if the economy is okay, they can get jobs outside.
This is all presenting a problem.
Now, on top of this, not just the army not meeting their goal.
The Navy is having trouble meeting their goal.
The Marines are right at their goal or just below.
They're struggling as well.
Air Force struggling as well to meet these goals.
Now, we've talked about this in a lot of terms, and since our last time that I've mentioned this on the podcast, I've had a chance to talk to a lot of military people offline.
I've had a chance to talk to a lot of congressional staff and members offline to say, okay, tell me a little bit more about this because this is becoming Because when you have the Army itself dropping its manpower numbers by 12,000, which is around a division, they're not even going to try and fill 12,000 of these positions.
They've lowered their in-strength number by 12,000.
They're not even trying to fill these positions.
All of this comes at a time in which the American military is, at any point in time, Possibly headed to conflict, whether it be Europe, Eastern Europe, with Ukraine, Russia, if that was to boil over, you know, Russia's bellicose language toward Finland and Sweden as they came into NATO,
the more pushback and more close related nature you're getting to this Russian war in Ukraine to other NATO allies that triggers a NATO response if something were to happen in one of these other countries, which triggers our response.
On the same time, you go to Southeast Asia, you have China, you have the issue with Taiwan, you see it growing more and more.
You see the fact that China is taking off the pressure of the Russian sanctions on oil and others because they're buying all the oil that Russia wants to give.
In fact, right now, the ruble is as high as it's ever been.
And the oil is coming out basically at pre-pandemic levels and going to China and India and places like that.
So some of these sanctions that were put into place to damage Russia is not working right now because you still have places in the world that are buying their oil.
This is, again, still causing trouble in that area when you have, again, the aggressive nature of the Chinese military and Taiwan.
You have North Korea, which still has went back to its old ways.
You have Iran, which in just this past week, Vladimir Putin has agreed to go to Iran to have talks.
This is, again, another concern when you look at what is going on in the bigger picture of the Iran nuclear deal, which the Biden administration wants to bring back.
These are all issues that have got to be dealt with.
These are all issues that are sitting out there waiting for the possibility of a response from the world, which would probably include the United States.
In addition to any just foreign allies who don't like us, Iran still thinking Israel should be blown off the map, shouldn't exist at all.
We have issues in Africa, which as I mentioned earlier, food shortages issues.
I mean, you could see this grow in the continent of Africa.
All of this stuff going on and at the same point in time, we're experiencing some of our lowest manpowering levels and recruitment levels that we've seen since the Vietnam War.
Now, One of the issues that came out was the simple fact that we are in a position in which the pool to recruit in the military is basically shrinking as we speak.
They're down to 23%, according to General Mackinac from the Army, who presented at the Armed Service Committee last month or two ago, saying we're down to 23%, meaning that out of the 23% of 23% of the eligible number of high schoolers and young people between 17 and 24 who could actually meet physical standards, educational standards, pass a drug test, criminal background check.
There's only, out of this, say that there was 100 of those people, there's only 23 that are actually eligible for the military because they would meet those criteria.
Now, at a certain point in time, you also have to take off a little bit more because they're not also adding in anyone who has not been vaccinated.
So they're not even recruiting Kids who have not been vaccinated, although we went over that many times in this podcast, that this is not the group that is the most highly susceptible and highly affected by the COVID-19 virus.
Now, again, all of that taken into account.
Other issues in my discussions with other people In the know, in the Congress, also in the military, was the discussion, and even among recruiters, was also the fact of the general conditions in the military right now, the emphasis on a lot of diversity training, an emphasis on things that have not been at times central to the core missions of any of the military branches.
We're seeing that, but we're also seeing the The other issues that have driven this, and that is, again, just the normal high turnover rate in the Army.
Air Force and others are seeing this.
You having a stronger economy and economic job market for some of the pilots and others, which make it harder to retain in our Air Force.
All of these things are now coming together on top of something else.
And let's just talk about it.
And I'm going to tell you how I'm approaching this discussion without...
I want it to be very much understood.
The military and Secretary of Defense and the President made a decision to require vaccinations for all in the military.
Active duty, reserve, and guardsmen.
Now, I have, as a member of the military, I have no reason at my level to believe that it is an invalid order.
It is an unlawful order.
That has been litigated in some fronts, and it is a legal order.
When they use the basis of the government's rationale or burden, that this is something that they have determined is required for the military.
Now, it's been required on other vaccines.
Please hear me as I talk about this.
This discussion is not about the validity or the lawfulness that many of you would like to have about this, the requirement, the order which come down that you would be vaccinated.
There's a lot of discussion out there concerning how religious exemptions were handled, medical exemptions were handled, and those were all going to be litigated.
Those are in the court system.
We'll see how those turn out.
That's going to be a bigger issue.
But I'm not coming at this from a perspective of it's not a valid order.
I believe it to be a valid order given...
And from this perspective, now, do I agree with it?
Irrelevant, okay?
At this point in time, and it has been held up, that due to operational circumstances, due to the meeting of the needs around the world, deployment needs, and also home-based needs, that this is a valid order and you will comply.
Enough said.
Now, let's move on to the problem, though, that I'm seeing.
The result of that is, is that if you do not take the vaccine in the military, There have been several different ways this has been handled, and I want you to understand this in context of the first part of this podcast, where I've been talking about very much of the problems that we're seeing with the Military and recruitment.
So when you take into account this issue of recruitment and recruiting going down, that means that you're not going to be able to fill the slots that are needed in the military in any given year to replace those who either retire or Just decide to quit, decide to get out, medical, whatever it may be.
There's a certain turnover amount to keep it in strength.
Now, some of those do go to reserve or guard units, but that again goes to their end strength, not the active duty.
So what we're seeing here is, as I wanted to frame this, is we have a recruitment problem.
We're not bringing in the people that we're needing to bring in, in any, not on the active duty side, but the reserve side as well.
We're seeing this on reserve and guard side, that this same issue.
So we're having a decreased number.
Now, I bring this up because now, after the order was given to get vaccinated or be, you know, basically either taken off paying points, discharged, which all of these are happening in the military, You've now created a bigger issue.
And what I have not heard any real discussion from the media, from the Congress, from the military, the administration, anyone, is this now breakdown of the, not only we have a problem in the military as far as recruitment, but we also have the fact that there are now 60,000 Guard and Reserve in the Army who have been put on, quote, IRR status.
Now, I've also been told, I got an email just the other day that says that the Navy and Marines have done this as well, just out of the blue.
They've started putting people on IRR, not cutting orders.
We're seeing that.
The Air Force made the decision that they're not terminating.
The Air Force Reserve side is not, at this point, terminating anyone or kicking anyone out, but they're moving all of those who have...
Decided not to take the vaccine.
They are moving them to IRR status, Individual Ready Reserve, which means that they're not available for deployment.
They're not drilling.
They're not getting paid.
They're not earning retirement points.
They're just there in a sort of limbo status, not being discharged, but also not being allowed to fully participate.
What that means is, is for all of those who are on IRR status, it means that they are taken away from their jobs.
They're taken away from the in-strength.
They're taken away from the deployment capabilities.
of the United States military.
Are you seeing the problem here?
So for any given year, you have, and I want to make this as simple as possible, and I don't want to get bogged down with numbers.
And again, doing this in the Army side, the Army weighted was one of the last to actually address the Guard and Reserve side.
They had a lot longer time frame.
But now you're coming into the summer, and typically you have a lot of two-week drills.
You have your, as many of you may be familiar with, the old adage with the Guard and Reserve, two weeks a year and every, you know, every weekend a month, one weekend a month.
You're getting into some of the annual tour time.
Well, they're getting now to have these trainings, have these updates and others at these different units, and they're losing approximately $60,000 across the end strength of the National Guard.
This will be across all of the Guard bureaus in the 50 states.
This presents a readiness issue that presents a readiness problem.
And again, I'm not going at this from the fact of saying that, you know, we're dealing with the vaccine.
What we're dealing with is the fact that the military said, nope, you've got to have a vaccine or this will happen.
People have chose To not get the vaccine, they have chose to not follow that order.
Many of them follow the protocols for getting a religious exemption or for a medical exemption, none of which appears to be granted.
There has been some leniency for those who are in, you know, right at 20 years or others that they could go ahead and retire out or stay until they can retire out.
But for the vast majority of these that we're talking about here, this is just simply taking off of end strength.
When you capitalize that on top of the active duty regular in strength loss, when you just calculate in people who are getting out because their enlistment time's up, maybe retirement out of officer enlisted, or you see them just, you know, for medical reasons being discharged.
There's a fluctuation that turns all the time in the military, just like it does anywhere else.
My question, and this is the reason I'm bringing it up here on this podcast, because the more I'm thinking about this, the more I thought about this, the more I've talked to people, is you can have your order to say that all must be vaccinated.
That's not the issue on this podcast.
But my question is, and something that I have not seen at all, is what do we do as the result?
This is the question that I have for the Biden administration.
This is the question I have for the military planners because I've not seen an answer here.
I've not even heard an answer coming out.
In fact, in many articles that I've looked for, there's been no discussion on the fact that you have, number one, you have problems recruiting and bringing new people in, and on the second part, you have all these issues of those who are now across the services are going to be moved to IR or discharged where they're not even in the military at all.
60,000 plus in the Army Reserve and Guard.
This is not counting Air Force Reserve, it's not counting Naval Reserves, it's not counting Marine Reserves, it's not counting Space Force Reserve, it's not counting any of those, which there are numbers in that.
So you're looking at Somewhere between probably 60 and 90,000, if you count the low end being the Army and the high end taking everybody else, you could have as much as 90,000 of these guardsmen and reservists who are going to at some point either be placed in IRR status, which is an individual that IRR status is off of the books, away from the unit, not drilling, not participating, non-deployable.
No points, no pay.
At the same point in time, you have the normal turnover in turn in the reserves and guard in which you need to replace.
Same is true with the active duty.
So my question and my concern here is for a military that is already being worn out.
A military that has had 20 plus years of active war.
A military that is still constantly on call.
We already have, you know, had to place forward deploying troops into Europe.
There's always this turn.
But I've not heard an honest question and honest discussion about how do we replace this?
Now, it's not easy.
I mean, I'm not sitting here on this podcast or you listening to this podcast and telling you, okay, here's the five steps toward increasing recruitment.
I mean, I could go to many things that we've listed here earlier about the problems that recruiters and others are saying that people aren't coming into the military or getting out of the military, especially from the vaccine perspective, or maybe it's because they can't get in because they're not in shape or they don't have a GED. In fact, the Army tried that just recently.
for all of about seven days floated the idea of we're going to do away with the high school equivalency and GED equivalency if you can just score 50 or above on the ASVAB, the Armed Services Admission Test.
If you score 50, then we'll take it.
They're giving bonuses upwards of $10,000, I've heard, if you can actually go before October 1st to be put into this fiscal year's recruitment goals.
But nowhere is there public discussion seemingly – And I've looked, and if I missed it, you know, you go to the DougCollinsPodcast.com.
You can email me there.
Let me know.
I'd love to see it.
But again, there's a lot of other things you can do on the Doug Collins Podcast at the.com site there, our website.
And that is, you know, you can even register to come spend a day and sit in on a podcast taping.
And we'd love to have you do that just to use a way you can register there.
We got a newsletter.
There's all kinds of things that you can be a part of.
But I've not seen it, and I've looked.
So it's one thing to say, how are we going to overcome the issue of non-recruitment?
Because we don't have enough people, and there are people who are eligible who don't want to come in.
But then at the other time, we have this issue in which you've got between 60 and 90,000, depending on how you count the numbers, of just losses that in some ways come from an order that That is now provided a, if you would, a self-inflicted wound in which we now have gotten rid of people, many of which have been trained, many of which are middle to senior level officers and enlisted.
This is not an issue.
I mean, you're not taking 60,000 brand new newbies off the line here.
That's not what's happening.
I can tell you from personal experience in dealing with the request and seeing those requests that you're dealing with senior enlisted.
You're dealing with some middle management.
As far as middle grade field officers, you're looking for captains through lieutenant colonels.
A lot of them.
You're seeing some colonels.
This is people that the military has invested a lot of money and a lot of time to keep them ready to fight our nation's wars.
But I don't see anybody talking about this.
I've yet.
It's crickets.
I've looked.
So my question, I'm going to throw back out as part of this podcast, is I wrap this up because I want to, I'm not saying that here's an answer.
I'm not saying we go to a draft.
I'm not saying that.
I mean, but the issue has got to be, in some ways, has got to be addressed.
Because if you're not bringing enough people in off the street, There are not enough people coming from active duty into the reserves.
And in the active duty and the reserves and the guard, you're kicking people out or you're putting them in individual ready reserve status.
In other words, no points, no pay.
They're not actively in their role in the military.
If you're saying 60,000 and 90,000 plus are also off the table, then in my mind, if you needed to bring in 1,000 people this year, you're only bringing in 500. Well, also now you've got to look into the fact that you're going to have to bring in 60,000 to 80,000 to 90,000 more over time because if they don't get a vaccine, they're not coming back in unless the mood of the country changes or the order changes.
So you're going to have to add that on top of what you've got to read back and fill.
I want you to understand the truth.
I want you to understand what's going on out there.
I want this to be a red flag for you when you discuss and you think about our military right now and all the great things that these men and women do for our country across the world.
Right now, I believe we're headed for an even bigger problem When we look at this because none, it appears, at least to the public and at least in the ways that the public would see and in a congressional oversight perspective, although the National Defense Authorization Act is out, they're passing it here in the last week or so, all that, but you're not having this discussion.
It just seems like nobody wants to talk about it, hoping that it will all go away.
Folks, it's not just going to go away.
If you're moving people into individual ready reserve, you're already messing with their careers.
You're already messing with their time.
Many of them will just get out.
That'll be a good determination as far as how they get out, the status in which they get out.
You're going to have some who are up for re-enlistment who maybe already have had the vaccine, but they're not going to continue to put up with the work environment in which they are, and they're going to get out.
There's a job market out there, they're going to get out, and they're going to go.
So my question that we lay out here to everyone is, if you look at this, and I'm raising this flag now, if you're having recruitment issues, you're having retention issues, and you're moving involuntarily, A bunch of people out of the active duty force and the reserve and guard force into these slots in which they can't be deployed, they can't be used, then my question to senior leadership is simply, what is the answer?
I'm not sure this was discussed.
I'm not sure if they thought this out completely.
If they did, I respect, as I've already said, I respect the order, but there is fallout to that order and nothing appears at this point is being done for it.
I wanted you here as a Doug Collins listener to have this information.
Maybe you can talk to some of your friends and family that are in the military.
Maybe one of your friends and family has been put in IR status.
I got an email from a lieutenant colonel yesterday who was not notified that he was in IR status until he got word back when he was dealing with a regular administrative issue on orders.
They're not even addressing this in a uniform fashion.
This is a problem that we have to deal with.
And with all the other issues we got out there right now, this is a problem that we're having to fight.
I'm not sure the Biden administration thought this one out real well.
Before we go today, though, on the show, I do want to touch base on something else.
It is amazing, again, that after the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs' case, the Roe v.
Wade case, it is now fair among all liberals that they can besmirch, tear down the integrity of the court, call it anything they want to, and at the same time also call for...
Following Supreme Court justices such as Kavanaugh and Alito and Comey Barrett and others, Gorsuch and others, and follow them and to actually, and Clarence Thomas and others, to follow them around where they eat and to protest outside the restaurants and to harass them in their neighborhoods and to continue.
Now, we've talked about this before and I'm going to say it again.
There was no reason why there should not have been arrest and moving these protests before the Dobbs decision was ever put out, especially in these neighborhoods where this was just off limits and should have been because there's federal law that says you're not to do anything to intimidate or to...
Interfere with a judge's decision or a judge's ruling in a case.
That's exactly, in my mind, what was happening.
I think there are many attorneys that looked at it and said, well, but you had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice who said, we're not going to do anything about it.
And so you had the protest in these neighborhoods making the Supreme Court justices fearful.
They've had to increase security.
This is all, you know, from the perspective of the left, it's all fine.
You don't believe it?
Asked John Pierre, Press Secretary John Pierre, who said, you know, this is just democracy.
No, it's not.
This is not democracy.
Again, what is amazing to me is over the last few years, the left has consistently called out for public confrontation of conservatives in restaurants, in ballgames, wherever they can.
In fact, there's even a...
Group right now offering bounty payments for citing of conservative Supreme Court justices in a harassment campaign.
The shutdown DC tweeted July 8th that they would pay bounties up to $200 for anyone who reports the whereabouts of Comey Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Thomas, and Roberts in pursuit.
This all comes after, as you just heard a couple weeks ago, about Brett Kavanaugh having to exit through the back door after the protesters gathered out front at the Mortons in DC. Folks, this is where we're at right now in public discourse.
There is none in public discourse.
And I've said this over time.
We had a podcast about this a few weeks ago.
If the left will not restrain themselves in this regard, if my question would be is, is what if all of a sudden there were other organizations that decided that wherever the press secretary, Jean-Pierre, wherever she went and her family, that there ought to be protesters outside yelling and screaming wherever she went and her family, that there ought to be protesters while her kids are there?
What about, you know, and Transportation Secretary Buttigieg said, well, I've been protesting many times before.
And calling this a First Amendment issue is really an interesting one.
There are plenty of places for people to protest.
There are plenty of places you can go in front of the Supreme Court, you can go in front of the Capitol, you can do a march, you can get a permit to do a parade.
But the level of vitriol that's been sent after conservatives, I mean, you had Maxine Waters, you know, basically saying we're never going to let them have rest.
You saw in the previous administration with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was run out of a restaurant in Washington, D.C.
You've seen this and the mainstream media does not have the fortitude that they have seemingly had when conservatives would say something that they didn't like or make a comment about a liberal leader or make a comment about, you know, calling out or from the conservative side, us calling calling out or from the conservative side, us calling out the liberals in Congress and saying this is away from line.
They can't have it both ways.
What I wanted to end today with is that I'm tired of this setup in which we see that the liberals can say anything they want to about the conservatives.
They can go after them, they can choose to protest them, they can harass them, and the mainstream media says nothing.
For here in my segment, I'm done with you.
I'm done with the liberal hypocrisy when it comes to this aspect of saying that these protests that were directly aimed at influencing judges, harassing judges, harassing conservatives, Simply because you don't like what they do, I'm done with you.
I'm done with a press secretary who hides behind the podium and says, oh well, this is just democracy.
I'm done with a mainstream media that has absolutely done nothing to do it.
I'm done with Merrick Garland, who will not use the Department of Justice in a federal issue before the Dobbs case even came out, to even step in and to help I'm done with you.
This has got to get better.
There are plenty of ways to exercise your First Amendment rights to protest as much as you want to.
But direct harassment in this regard is over the line.
And all I have to say is if it was put on the other foot, if conservatives were calling for this among liberals, there would be an outcry.
There would be a call for legislation.
There would even be a call from impeachment if it happened to be a member of Congress.
So folks, Here's your latest.
I'm done with you.
I'm done with a liberal hypocrisy when it comes to not getting the way you want and thinking that you can do anything you want under the guise of the First Amendment and democracy to, quote, harass, intimidate, and basically...
Go beyond the pale of normal discourse in attacking the Supreme Court justice or other conservatives that you may see.
That has got to end.
And folks, that's another edition of the Doug Collins Podcast.
Glad to have you with us.
Look forward to talking with you again soon.
God bless you.
