Uh, oh. My 15 seconds of fame is tonight. I'm on FOX News with Bret Baier.

David Codrea made the announcement.

Special Report with Bret Baier will be broadcast tonight at 6:00 pm Eastern

Just before the interview started, I thought of the scene in Forrest Gump where Lt. Dan orders Forrest and Bubba to try not to get themselves killed. "I sure hope I don't let him down," Forrest tells Bubba. You can tell me afterwards if I did or not. I hope I did our side proud.

At least I was wearing my new glasses that I got the other day, although I still haven't found a good used suit. ;-)

LATER: I was surprised at how little of the almost half hour of footage they used, but we covered a lot of ground so they may indeed use more in future segments.

I'm looking forward to it. Unfortunately I have to watch it on TiVo. But I am going to an Open Carry dinner in Durham, NC tonight, so that should make up for it.

You will aquit yourself in grand style Mike.
Don't you worry how it pans out. Being there is everything.
No flies on you Buddy.

You been doing a great job.

Bravo!

PS,
Did you ask, (tongue in cheek), on tape when the fibbies would release your mail?
Be a gas to see what Brett's reaction to that was.

Mike,
You might want to read this piece at Big Government about Holder bragging back in 2009 about overseeing Gunwalker:

Come on, man! There are PLENTY of used suits for sale in DC. Although their asking price may be more than you can afford...

Good job! They only gave you a small amount of time, but the quotes they used were great!

Also, it seems William Jeunesse is catching onto how this is not just a screw up in one office but a much larger and evil plan.

DC Wright said...

Caught the very last part... looked good pal!

Saw it. I thought you did a good job.

Terrific interview Mike. Most folks do not realize how the camera and lights can temporarily fog the mind.

Your part was good. The reporter that has been following Gunwalker gave the sheep some important info of yours about recent events, such as Honduras.

However, the rest of the show was lackluster. They spent nearly a half hour talking about Obama and the economy, and maybe 3 minutes on Gunwalker, if that?

Bret's closing statements on Gunwalker were "We'll continue following this story," and went on to cover other crap. I turned the TV back off directly after the Gunwalker stuff.

Disappointing no one on air spends more than five minutes on Gunwalker. No round table discussion, nothing. Just little tidbits. Thank God there's an internet.

OK, so when are one of you tech monkeys gonna post it on youtube so I can see what I missed?
(I would have done it myself if I had checked in before 6:00 PM Central time.)

Stimulus money used for Gunwalker?
Well hell. Those were "shovel ready" jobs after all. Fast and Furious guns will be keeping grave diggers employed for years to come.

Mike, you did America proud. You and Codrea both. YOU TWO patriots did this and nobody else. Keep the pressure on. It ain't over till they cry.

Mt Top Patriot said...

Kudos Mike!

Bravo!
Bravo!

I think they took you seriously at Fox. The quotes they used where singularly unique from what others said.

John Richardson said...

You have gone from being a mere blogger to a "Online Journalist"!

Congrats on making the big time. You did just fine.

We are thankful that you didn't listen to the naysayer who said that your Blog had gone off track with Gunrunner.

In another day and another time, against other naysayers, a man chose five smooth stones from the river, but needed only one. I Samuel 17:40

Thanks,

Stick the knife in deep and twist it Mike. Don't give the thugs a chance. This is a knife fight in a phone booth moment.
On the suit, go to Volunteers of America, I have seen Armanies, or how ever you spell it, on sale for $10.

Robert Fowler said...

Even though your part was rather short, you did a great job. Keep applying the heat. You and David will be looked upon as American hero's when this all finally comes out.
