You're listening to me for free right now, and that's awesome because more and more things aren't free right now.

I mean, think about all the things you're paying for daily, monthly yearly.

Well, here's something that won't add to that list, the free iHeartRadio app, podcasts, streaming music, digital radio.

All free, it's the future of audio and unlike almost everything else in your life right now,

except maybe air, it doesn't cost a dollar.

So take advantage of this, listen to everything you love on the iHeartRadio app for free.

iHeartRadio

This is the Tom Hartman program.

On the line with us is Matt Castelli.

Matt is a former CIA officer focused on intelligence collection and counterterrorism operations

serving in an Afghanistan and Iraq, the former director of counterterrorism

at the National Security Council and the Obama administration, also worked in the Trump administration.

And he's running for Congress against a least staphonic.

The number three Republican in Republican leadership, somebody who won

her last race by a huge margin, as I recall, it was over 20 points.

Matt, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is Castelli for Congress, by the way,

C-A-S-T-E-L-L-I-F-O-R Congress.com is the website Castelli, Matt, on Twitter.

Tell us about taking on a least staphonic.

I mean, a lot of people think this is a fool's errand that you're told to get windmills here.

We actually have a tremendous opportunity to defeat staphonic in this race

because she's gone way out of step with the values of our community here in the 21st district.

Thanks for the opportunity to join your program.
