What are your thoughts on this? 2) You teach classes on both Basic Natl Debt Education and Basic Climate Education. Can our nation move to a Digital Monetary system and not be impacted by the ESG social credit system? Or have ESG “morality police” checking in on our personal credit scores?

From your perspective, what is the state of the nation? 3) What is your take on the FBI raid on Mar-a-lago? If the Feds will raid a former President’s home, what could they do to ordinary families? 4) Piggybacking on the previous question. The Government wanting to hire 87,000 IRS agents seems like a pretty big army. What do you suppose they will be tasked with doing?

You have never not had the lead in the polls. How are things looking as we come into August? 2) You come from the world of Corporate Media, and one of your biggest adversaries during your campaign has been members of the Media.

In more than 25-years in state and federal courtrooms, Paloma has represented plaintiffs in ground-breaking civil rights litigation. An award-winning activist and writer, Paloma chases truth until it’s treed. The truth she has been hunting down most recently is what really happened on January 6th 2021. And her latest work is a book titled "January 6 x 20 Things You Need to Know". 1) Before we dive into your newest book, can you help us better understand the significance of some breaking news from last week? One of the “J6” defendants was acquitted of the charges against him. Could this be a good sign of other acquittals coming? 2) Now let’s dive into your newest book. How does this book differ or expound on your previous work? Synopsis: Walk through the twenty most important aspects of January 6 that the media and the prosecution and the FBI don’t want you to get right in their quest for a narrative that conveniently blames the day on the American people. When you cut through the noise, there is a simple set of facts. The Capitol was open. Rallies were permitted to go off on all four sides of the building. Plus eighteen more truths, all with the supporting arguments and analysis." 3) The more we unpack that day, the events of January 6th 2021 seem master-planned - but by who and how?

And Stacy just authored a new book titled “Eternally Cancel Proof: A Guide for Courageous Christians Navigating the Political Battlefront”. 1) Let’s dive right into your new book. The title alone sounds like it is perfectly timed for the challenges many across the nation are facing. Cancel Culture is real, and while it often backfires, it causes too many people to stay silent. 2) We are in a time of Spiritual Warfare – figuratively, the Spirit of our Nation is being battled over, and the literal meaning of Spiritual Battle is so thick we can feel it in the air around us. What words of encouragement or wisdom do you have for us about the ways in which Cultural wars are impacting our daily lives and relationships? - Christianity - education (Stacy is a former member of her local school board) - CRT - BLM 3) Republican leaders have so often been weak in holding to the values of the people whom they were voted in to represent. Why do you think that is and what can We the People do about it? 4) Politically speaking, the Left Wing wants Americans to vote based upon their feelings instead of facts, and it is apparently an appealing platform even for pastors and spiritual leaders who should know better. How can we encourage logic-based voting in these upcoming elections? 5) Ultimately, those of us who ascribe to Christianity, we believe that while we have free will, God has the final say in who sits in authority and how things play out. What does the Bible say about where we are in History?

Using her understanding the needs of a rural and often over-looked area of a State, Lucretia has been serving the needs of southeast Pima County, AZ for over 20 years and is running for US Congress in the 2022 Election. 1) Many people can relate to feeling over-looked and either ignored or out-right “cancelled”, not just in AZ but all over the nation. Was that a driving force behind founding the hometown newspaper The Vail Voice? 2) You are also the Publisher of The American Woman Shooter Magazine. Talk to us about how that came about. 3) Running for Elected Office is like jumping into a snake pit. What caused you to decide to run for office? 4) The office you are running for is at the Federal level. What are the top issues you are running on?

Lauren is the 2nd Vice Chair and Communications Director of the AZ Libertarian Party. Lauren also is a Member of The DC Project: Women who are dedicated to safeguarding our Second Amendment. On March 3, 2022 Lauren offered testimony at an AZ State Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing. After Lauren's emotional testimony about having been sexually assaulted and also being a survivor of domestic violence, AZ District 19 Senator Lupe Contreras (D) made a statement saying that if citizens feel the need to be Responsibly Armed outside their homes then, quote..."Why even walk around at that point. Stay at home behind closed doors". 1) Can you give us brief synopsis how things went on the day you testified? 2) There’s a saying that “when someone tells you who they are you should believe them”. What should Senator Contreras’s constituents know about him. 3) If more people would speak up from their personal experience, as you did, our Government would surely better represent us. But, the word “testimony” sounds very intimidating. Can you help demystify it for our audience? 4) A letter was sent to Senator Contreras by you and the DC Project. Has the Senator responded to you? 5) The Senator blocked you on Twitter. Has he since removed that block?

Our guest today is Michael Findlay. Michael is the Director of Government Relations for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). As the trade association for America’s firearm, ammunition, hunting, and recreational shooting sports industry, the National Shooting Sports Foundation seeks to promote, protect, and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. NSSF has a membership of more than 9,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and endemic media outlets, including more than 300 members in Arizona alone. 1) The AZ FIND Act is good for business and good for the Second Amendment, yet is struggling to get the votes it deserves by some of Arizona's Senators, who profess to be Pro-2A. Can you help us understand what this Bill is? The FIND Act is the Firearm Industry Non-Disclosure Act HB 2473 Nothing in the measure actually would force banks to do business with the firearms industry. Instead, it is designed to financially penalize those who do not: No bank could get a contract with state or local government without first certifying that it does not have policies against doing business gun manufacturers, dealers and others. (Source: Tucson dot com) HB 2473 was introduced by State Representative Frank Carroll (R) Sun City West 2) Which AZ Senators are trying to avoid voting on this Bill? Senator David Livingston (R) Peoria, refused to allow a vote on the proposal Senator Vince Leach (R) Tucson Senator J.D. Mesnard (R) Chandler 3) How does this impact the average citizen? “FIND removes the roundabout way that a small minority of activists are using the banking industry to deny a constitutional industry from providing the tools for citizens to use their constitutional Second Amendment rights” FIND stops allowing big bankers to virtue signal for all the wrong things. Standing in the way of helping people access legal and Federally Regulated life-saving tools of self-defense is to empower predators and wrong-doers.

Tell us about how this came about? 2) You have a couple of new projects in the works.

Our guest today is Mark Walters. Mark is the syndicated host of two national radio programs, Armed American Radio and Armed American Radio's Daily Defense with Mark Walters.

He is the co-author of of three critically acclaimed books, Lessons from Armed America, Lessons from Unarmed America, and Grilling While Armed. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. 1) Where did this passion to discuss our Constitutional Protections come from for you? It seems more personal to you than it does the average person - where does that come from? 2) You have the unique position, after the years of talking to others who spend their lives working to protect the 2A, of seeing where we have been, and where we are...what outlook or forecast do you see for the trajectory of our Rights? 3) There is an important court case in process as we speak. The State of MD is working on a Rifle Ban but 25 other states are pushing back on it...Let’s unpack this. - The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today expressed their sincere gratitude to the Attorneys General in 25 states for joining an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court, supporting their challenge to a Maryland gun ban law and urging the high court to hear the case. - the 37-page amicus brief is loaded with strong legal arguments supporting the Maryland case, known as Bianchi et.al. v. Frosh. The Attorneys General are led by Arizona AG Mark Brnovich and West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey. They are joined by their colleagues in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming. - All four of this Court's Second Amendment precedents on arms bans—Heller, McDonald, Caetano, and Miller—eschewed means-ends balancing. This Court's approach has always been categorial. - The rifles at issue here are "in common use," as lower courts have acknowledged. "Common use" is not determined by how often a gun is fired in self-defense. "Common use" encompasses all lawful uses, including hunting and self-defense. Arms bans do not become constitutional if they slice protected classes of arms into smaller subclasses. Dick Heller's 9-shot .22 caliber revolver was not particularly common, but handguns are very common. - Maryland Attorney General Frosh initially waived his right to file a response to the petition, but on January 14 the Supreme Court called for a response. The Court granted Frosh (and consequently his amici) an extension of time for the response, which is due March 14. Source Article: https://reason.com/volokh/2022/02/11/maryland-rifle-ban-in-the-supreme-court/ 4) You like to say that more gun owners does not automatically equal more people engaged in protecting our Constitution. What CAN we do to wake people up and welcome them into Advocacy? 5) You will be one of our speakers for the 9th Annual Celebrate & Protect the 2nd Amendment Rally Event at the AZ State Capitol Building on Saturday, February 19th from 10:am – 2:pm.

To all of our listeners out there, give us a few ideas on what can each of us can do individually to make a difference. 2) Rallies have recently gotten a black-eye in the Media and it seems there is a push to try to make people afraid to participate in these kinds of gatherings.

Our guest today is Stephen Willeford. Stephen is the Hero of the Sutherland Springs Massacre. On the morning of Sunday, November 5, 2017, Stephen Willeford performed a courageous act of faith and heroism. Alerted by his daughter that a mass shooting was occurring at the neighboring First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Stephen wasted no time in response. Stephen confronted the murderer without hesitation. His many hours logged at the gun range and his years of experience in gun safety helped prepare him in this response. Though his expert training and practice were used in this decisive moment, Stephen credits his faith in God for keeping him calm and focused throughout this unimaginable situation. 1) We can only hope we would have the courage to act as you did that day Stephen. And we greatly honor that you give the credit to God. This is likely the most traumatic day of your life, and the fact that you will continue to revisit those horrific moments in order to alert the rest of us to the importance of being trained and ready is amazing. 2) You will be in AZ speaking at our 9th Annual Celebrate & Protect the 2nd Amendment Rally Event at the AZ State Capitol Building on Saturday, February 19th from 10:am – 2:pm.

He's been a life-long, America First conservative who has committed much of his time and money supporting the state of Arizona. And now, Jim is running for United States Senate for the State of AZ. 1) The 2022 Election is going to be an exciting one, across the nation and here in AZ. We are seeing so many people step up for the first time to run for office. Like yourself. Was there a lightning rod moment that caused you to decide to run for US Senate, or was it a culmination of things? 2) We have heard plenty of politicians SAY that they support the Second Amendment, but much like our current Senator, Mark Kelly, their actions and their words do not align. Talk to us about how you would use the office you seek to protect, preserve and restore our Second Amendment Rights. 3) Should you win the office you seek you will spend a fair amount of your time in Washington DC. How will you stay connected to your constituents here in AZ and work on vital issues like the Border crisis? 4) In your business, you were part of a rare breed of American manufacturers. What can you do, should you become AZ’s next US Senator to support other organizations who are trying to cut the cord of dependency on China and other importers? 5) What are the other major issues here in AZ that you will be working on from the Federal level of government should you be elected? 6) The state of AZ currently has two Liberal Democrats serving as US Senators, Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly. You are running as a strong Constitutionalist Republican candidate. What makes you uniquely qualified to hold one of the seats of US Senator for AZ?

Our guest today is Erich Pratt. Erich is the Senior Vice President for Gun Owners of America (GOA). GOA is a national grassroots organization representing more than two million Americans dedicated to promoting their Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms. And Erich just authored an important new book titled Firing Back: How to counter anti-gun propaganda and become a better 2A activist. 1) Let’s start with some personal background on you and your family. You have personal experience with a Government that became corrupted and tyrannical, and how that was directly related to the disarming of the citizenry. How did this impact your family? 2) Those of us who pay attention to the messaging of Politicians and Media understand the tidal wave of misinformation poured on the average American Citizen every single day. But, for those perhaps not as tuned in, why was now the moment you chose to write “Firing Back”? 3) Taking a look at some of the chapters, the first gives the secret to the best way advocates of the Second Amendment can verbally fire back. 4) The next three seem to go hand in hand: Guns save lives, gun-control is dangerous and so-called gun-free-zones are some of the most dangerous places in our nation. Unpack some of that for us. 5) What do you say to people who insist that other countries that have already disarmed their citizens are safer than the United States? 6) Our mutual friend Maj Toure has been saying for years that all gun-control is racist and you discuss this in chapter seven. Can you walk us through the reasons why this is true? 7) The final chapter of your book challenges the reader to put into practice the Activism discussed in the book. Can you give us a teaser on that?

And while each state is supposed to uphold State’s Rights, doesn’t the ultimate weight of responsibility rest on the shoulders of individual citizens?

Our guest today is AWR Hawkins. Dr. AWR Hawkins is an award winning journalist at Breitbart News who holds a PhD in Military History from Texas Tech University. AWR is a leading voice defending the Second Amendment, and in discussions on guns and self-defense with an examination of the political and cultural assault on the right to keep and bear arms. 1) We titled today’s show “Is News Still Newsworthy?”. It seems like major historic events get overlooked too often for the latest “shiny object”. You seem to find a happy medium in the stories you write on. When you are deciding on which news stories to report on, how much does cultural relevance weigh in? 2) One of the biggest stories in our nation right now SHOULD be the SCOTUS case on whether or not “keep and bear arms” means that citizens have the right to bear arms outside their homes. We have heard very little about it on many of the big legacy networks. What is your take on that near-silence? 3) Some stories are crossovers – news and culture. The Alec Baldwin story where he was involved in a fatal shooting on his movie set. What is the current status of that story? 4) What are some of your most important recent stories? And are the “important” ones also the ones that gain the most readership?

Our guest today is Kimberly Yee. Born and raised in Arizona, Treasurer Kimberly Yee is the first Chinese American Republican woman to win a major statewide office in the history of the United States.

And what makes you uniquely qualified to be one of 50 US Governors? 2) You have a done a lot of great work at the Treasurers office. What are some of the successes that you are most proud of? 3) The IRS is trying to get into our bank accounts with this reconciliation bill, can you tell us more about it and what can be done to stop it? 4) Border Security is major issue right now around the county. There’s also reports that the Biden Administration is paying 450,000 dollars to those affected by separation. How do you react to that? What are some policies that you would implement if Governor? 5) What are going to be the top issues if you’re elected Governor?

Our guest today is Chris Cheng. Chris is a self-taught competitive shooter and tech guy who beat out 17 competitors to become History Channel’s Top Shot Season 4 Champion.

How much did you raise and what organizations will benefit from the proceeds? 2) Second...what the heck is an NFT and how do you auction one off? 3) What lessons did you learn from this very first ever effort? 4) Do you have plans for another auction in the future?

During his time in Congress, Matt earned awards for being a “Defender of Liberty,” for being the “Taxpayer Hero” from Citizens Against Government Waste. 1) In your previous offices you clearly distinguished yourself as a Representative of your constituents and you are skilled in the political arena. But, that arena is a lion’s den at best. What makes you want to jump back into it and run for Governor of AZ? 2) What makes you uniquely qualified to be one of the 50 United States Governors, and specifically the Governor of the great State of AZ? 3) You have served in AZ Government before both at the State and Federal levels. How did you use your previous roles to impact our 2A Rights? 4) Our current AZ Governor has been lukewarm at best about his support of our 2A Rights. What do our listeners need to know about your stance on our rights to keep and bear arms? 5) What are the key issues that you believe our next Arizona Governor will face?

A twelve year veteran of the NRA, Lars has covered almost every aspect of both the NRA's political and program-side. 1) One of the biggest news stories in the 2A world is the first gun case to reach the Supreme Court in more than a decade - New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. What are the basic facts behind case? 2) Why did it take so long for another 2nd Amendment case to reach the highest court in the land? 3) Experts are saying this case reaches beyond the 2nd Amendment, that the underlying issues are greater than the right to keep and bear arms. If that’s true, how could it reach beyond the 2nd Amendment. 4) What part has the NRA played in this case? 5) What is the best and worst case scenario?

Our guest today is Paloma A. Capanna. Paloma has been speaking and writing about the Second Amendment as the modern civil rights movement for nearly fifteen years. In more than 25-years in state and federal courtrooms, Paloma has represented plaintiffs in ground-breaking civil rights litigation. An award-winning activist and writer, Paloma chases truth until it’s treed. And her latest work is a book titled “The Events of January 6, 2021: What Impact the Second Amendment Movement?”. 1) When we had you on back in August we broke down a lot of the details that seem to lead to a reasonable conclusion that people who have been arrested in the January 6th events were targeted simply because of specific clothing they were wearing that day and that there were FBI Agents among the crowd who were actually ramping up the people and egging people on to enter the building. Do I have that correct? 2) This many months later, the top three bullets are: 2a) Order of DC District Court Judge Royce Lamberth on 10/13/2021 in the case of Christopher Worrell, which found DC Warden and Director of Prisons in contempt for failing to turn over prisoner medical records to the court on time AND which directed the US AG to launch an investigation into the conditions of all defendants incarcerated pending trial relative to the events of January 6. The call to action here is to call the Assistant AG in charge of civil rights, Kristen Clarke [(202) 514-3847], to ask for a "thorough and unbiased investigation" into the prison conditions in accordance with Judge Lamberth's Order. 2b) Arrest of defendant Jeremy Michael Brown on 9/26. DOJ is calling him a "self-identified Oath Keeper" (no evidence he was a member, including his position that he was not). He says that the FBI tried to recruit him in December 2020 to be a "confidential informant." He got interested in the Oath Keepers after the November election and was at the December MAGA rally in WDC. He drove up from FL to the January 6 events with one of the four defendants who are alleged to be "Oath Keepers" who already took a plea, including a term to be "confidential informants" of the government. That person in his car reported Brown to the FBI. On January 6, while Brown was on the Capitol lawn, Brown's FBI handler called him wanting to know exactly where he was. It's another "Fast & Furious." Where are the assets? What's going on? Brown isn't the only one saying his FBI handler was calling him on January 6. Second-in-command of the Proud Boys has already been complaining of the same thing. 2c) Records of Ashli Babbitt starting to come through to Judicial Watch and to me basis Freedom of Information requests. I now have a time line of the shooting, and the procession of her body for that week. What DC Metro also released was their interview notes with US Capitol Police officers the night of January 6. If you read my blog "15:15," you learned what I learned: there were 15 armed USCP officers in that hallway + 3 unidentified uniformed officers in front of and then next to the group of 10 citizens + 3 riot USCP officers closing in immediately behind them up the stairwell, just steps away. It is fair to say we are lucky that the entire group wasn't gunned down where they stood, unarmed, and making absolutely zero retaliation against any LEO in their vicinity. Talk about chilling information for anyone who is an activist at the Capitol.
