I want to thank pete for coming on and have this frank discussion. Im interested how he came to use that codename. Before we get into the details of the book, pete, why dont you tell the listeners a little bit about yourself and your counterintelligence background at the fbi.

Rotc program from the university of texas was 1981. Hes been serving his country long and very well, despite his youthful appearance, hes been at it for quite a while. We look forward to a rich conversation today at the end of which well be able to handle some of your questions if you wish to email us. I will transmit some of those questions to the general. But, first, were going to hear from him with some opening thoughts on the state of the guard and on its health and admiral and much appreciated help in responding to the covid crisis in the United States.

And midnight. It will be a sixmonth long pilot program, then they would reevaluate it. The idea has been kicked around since about 2018. This has not be
