How do you see the "Liberty" wing of the party acting as a firewall against 2A overreach? 3. With your experience at the White House Office of Management and Budget, what are the specific administrative "pressure points" that the RLC and the 2A community should be targeting for reform? 4. You've been a PhD economist and a training officer on the streets. How does your book BROKEN explain the current rise in civil unrest, and why is a principled Republican movement the key to stopping it? 5. You argue that our political incentives are broken. What is the first step a "Strategic Consultant" for the country would take to restore the rule of law and the right to self-defense? 6. How do people follow you? Originally Aired 6.11.26
