Host Steve Finnegan interviews Brian Norris, a retired Army First Sergeant and Republican candidate for Secretary of State in Arkansas, ahead of the primary runoff election on March 31st. Norris, who placed first in the initial primary with over 91,000 votes, discusses his grassroots campaign built on hard work and substance rather than name recognition or big funding. A major focus of the interview is election security, with Norris raising concerns about voting machine vulnerabilities, foreign-made components, lack of source code transparency, and the Chinese hacking of voter databases. Norris advocates for DOD-level cybersecurity standards on voting machines, strict chain-of-custody protocols, support for the SAVE Act, and ensuring only American citizens are counted in the census and allowed to vote. The episode also touches on Norris defending himself against attack ads falsely labeling him as pro-choice and a radical leftist, emphasizing his 21 years of military service and his pro-life stance as a Knight of Columbus.
