Austin grew up hunting and fishing, and firearms have been a part of his life since he was born. He believes the second amendment is still the most consequential right we have to fight for every day. 1) You recently held a “Revival” meeting for AZ Young Republicans. To hear the “news” tell it, the words “young” and “Republican” are oxymorons. So, you put together a mixer, but it was a Friday night, and a decidedly Political event...and yet you had quite the turnout! Talk to us about that. 2) You were energizing people at the mixer to “get involved”. What does that mean? Sometimes people like how that sounds, but they don’t really know what to do or how to do it. 3) What is the greatest barrier to people standing up for their values and ideals? Do you think that young people have any specific obstacles to being civi

How we got to the bizarre place we find ourselves. While some say that “Calling our election results into question is dangerous.”, calling things into question seems like a prudent posture for any citizenry. Questioning authority is exactly what our Founders did and why we even have a United States of America. Shouldn’t we after every election – call the process into question? Or are we just supposed to shrug and accept that “somebody else” is verifying it all went on the up and up? 2) Let’s hop in the not-so-way-

What have been some of your success stories? 3) Second Amendment Institute has a powerhouse Board of Directors and I (Cheryl) am proud to be one of them. Tell us a little bit about who is on your Board and what SAI’s mission is.

Please help me answer the question posed by the theme of today’s show: “Is the Constitution Still Our North Star?” 2) I have heard it said that ideas like Critical Race Theory are re-framing US and even World History for our children and our children’s children. In an era where, more than any other time in history, the dream of “We Are The World” is a reality. Our circles of friends are diverse, and our families include people of multiple ethnicities...how then are we so eagerly accepting the racist and div

Our guest today is Nikki Goeser. Nikki is a survivor of a deadly crime in a gun-free zone where she lost her husband at the hands of her stalker.

Why is it needed and how will it help? 2) The LOP is a huge win for people who have ongoing concerns from those who seek to do harm when you have identified the person who poses a threat.

Once for a meeting with the Freedom Caucus that hosted the DC Project and then at the Senate Hearing on Gun Control and Red Flag Gun Laws. Can you give us a synopsis of what you sha

Our guest today is Liz Lazarus. Liz is the author of three psychological thrillers: Free of Malice, Plea for Justice and Shades of Silence. Liz’s first novel, Free of Malice, is fiction, however the attack on the main character is real, drawn from Lazarus’ own experience. It portrays the emotional realities of healing from a vicious, physical assault and tells the story of one woman’s obsession to force the legal system to acknowledge her right to self-defense. Liz initially ignored the calling to become a novelist—instead, she tackled other ambitions on her bucket list: living in Paris and learning to speak French, getting her pilot’s license and producing a music CD.

What research did you do for this one? - (my answer will include interviewing a co

Besides our Rights to firearms, what other Freedoms are the experts on your show saying are currently at stake? 3) Is it fair to say that there is a danger to losing our founding principles of our country?
