In the early 2000s Dr. Caster, along with John Benner, the Founder and Owner of Tactical Defense Institute, wrote a school safety curriculum that would eventually become the FASTERSavesLives Training Manual. Tragically, it took the murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 for teachers and administrators to understand and begin to demand this kind of armed and unarmed emergency training as well as the emergency field medical supplies and training that FASTER includes in the tr

He has written several books, and his latest title is “The Obama Gang: How Barack Obama, through his post-presidency foundation, assembled, launched, and wages the new assault on American law enforcement”. 1) Before we dive into your new book...my favorite line on your website is: “What’s the Most Government Can Do for Me? The Least Government Can Do for Me.” That is a very Libertarian stance. You have also been a Law Enforcement Officer. There are more than a few people who would say that those are competing mindsets. For you, how do those two things mesh together? 2) Let’s talk about your book, “The Obama Gang”. 3) Tell us about your article in LifeZette, titled “Is the FBI Misreporting Data About Legal Gun Owners Stopping Active Shooters?” 4) Back in November you wrote an

So, how did a former Vietnam War protestor like yourself come to write a book like this? - I'll talk about my upbringing in the liberal (not leftist then, but liberal) bastion of Teaneck NJ, first school system in the country to voluntarily integrate, and my skepticism (at best!) in high school and early college about American institutions and the military.

Our guest today is Lloyd Bailey. Lloyd is the Armed Lutheran, host of “Armed Lutheran Radio,” a weekly podcast about faith, firearms, and freedom. He is also the editor of the newly released book, “Duty to Defend”. 1) Why is the “duty to defend” such a difficult concept for both Christians and people of other Faiths? 2) You have some powerhouse voices who wrote contributions in this book. Was there one in particular that you felt would lend extra credence to your work? 3) In our current world, division is everywhere. Christ himself said, all those 2,000 years ago that chaff and wheat would be separated, and that he knew he was part of that sifting and sorting. He actually said in the Gospels that family member would turn against family member. How do we, as Christians, interpret and square a duty to defend with a duty to become separate from those who are of and in the World? 4) How were guns viewed in the household you were raised in? Were you raised with firearms?

Our guest today is Dr. Kelli Ward. Kelli is an osteopathic physician and politician who has served as the Chair of the Arizona Republican Party since 2019. She also served in the Arizona State Senate from 2012 to 2015. 1) Kelli, there is an historic audit taking place right now and right here in our State of AZ. Audits are just a formalized way of “showing your work”. We have been audited by the IRS for finances and by the ATF for our firearms business. Neither was a “Constitutional Crisis”. Our very Founders “called into question” the actions of the Government – which is why we even have a United States – please help us understand why some people – including some Republicans are so against this audit? 2) Some of the people who are against this audit are Republicans. Some are citing that to say that there is a rift and a split in the Republican Party. What would you say about that? 3) The best outcome is that we discover that the election was a “perfect” as the Board of Supervisors seem to think it is. That
