| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome to a special edition of the Breakpoint podcast. |
| 0:07.9 | I'm pleased to have here Paul Fitzpatrick, who is leading something called the 1792 Exchange. |
| 0:12.9 | We've got lots to talk about even given the headlines of this week, the week here, that |
| 0:17.0 | we are recording. There's been a handful of issues and stories that have hit the headlines. |
| 0:22.1 | But thanks so much. You have a remarkable resume. You've served on Capitol Hill, |
| 0:28.1 | Deputy Chief of Staff, US Senator Kelly Lawler of Georgia and Chief of Staff for Mark Meadows |
| 0:32.7 | and North Carolina. You've also worked with both in the for-profit and the non-profit sector. |

| 1:39.2 | to exist right now. Well, sir, first, thank you so much for having me on. It's my honor. Appreciate |
