“I'm the only candidate that was Head of the DEA, that was in charge of border security in the Bush administration, governor for eight years,” says our featured guest, Asa Hutchinson.

Hutchinson also speaks to the possibility of a significant third-party candidacy for president in 2024, such as from the bipartisan group, No Labels.
“Right now you’ve got two major parties that are giving Americans what they don't want– “They don't want another Biden Trump rematch,” says Hutchinson. “So I think there is a potential for a third-party candidacy this year”.
