Colonel, thanks for coming back. I wanted to speak to you at greater length, given that after our interview last week, a barrage of attacks against you. Some of them sounded kind of serious came out. And I wanted to give you an opportunity to respond, but also to clarify some of the points that your former employer is making about you, Johnny Moore, who runs your organization,

the Gaza humanitarian federation was on television this weekend,

calling you a liar,

suggesting that anyone who criticizes his group is pro-Hamas,

et cetera, et cetera.

So I'm just going to go through some of the claims against you,

because you're making some significant statements

that will, I think, color people's understanding what's happening in Gaza.

So I think it's want to get to your separation from the Army was in January.

You left the Army in March, if I'm remembering correctly.

What did you do right after you left the U.S. Army after 25 years?

So right after my departure from the Army, I had no interests in politics or a second career.

My interest was being a stay-at-home dad.

I applied at Lowe's, and I was doing part-time Lowe's Lawn and Garden.

Really enjoyed it.

What does that mean Lowe's Lawn and Garden?

So working at the Lowe's Hardware Store in the and garden section, you know, giving recommendations

on wheat eaters, what plants to buy.

Really?

Yeah, I found it very therapeutic.

I was not- By the way, I love that.

I'm not criticizing.
