Description the cycle. To defend the American Free i do note system, think there has been a cycle that has been more important. Been morehat has important. Help us with the impasse of federal policy. We involved ourselves historically early on behalf of candidates who have the courage to govern and get things done. That is the goal. To be involved vigorously in the primaries. And as we find ourselves 30 days before the general election. Toma tell us how much you have invested . About 20r we spend million. Vigorous in the final months. I think it is noble notable how big it has been in the last couple of cycles and also the primaries. Sometimes counterintuitive, they have been less than the last cycle and 2014 in particular. Voters are focused on the impact of federal policy. In the primary, not a single blishment are beginning to fully pay attention.

But is really our goal in this cycle to be involved vigorously 2016 in the primaries. And as we find ourselves 30 days before the general election. Matea and so tell us about how much you have invested, and are you seeing candidates separating themselves from the nominee if that is hurting them

More purist. I dont see at this point any political current within that landscape at all. I mean, but that also may have to do on what kind of level or what kind of stage of evolution i. S. Is in at the moment. But for the threat to europe, i dont see theyre quite similar. I think the ideology is equally useful to or it can justify attacks in europe the same way. One final question here. Why are you so dismissive of lone wolves at the end of your remarks . Yeah. Thank you. Its because the lone wolf creates a sense of this kind of volatile, unpredictable threat, that if you basically see terrorists crawling out of the woodwork. And i think it doesnt rhyme with how i interpret the threat i have studied. Its more organized. And even those who operate quite independently are under influence, strong influe
