  • Great content , bad audio

    When you guys made the switch the audio has been awful. We can barely hear Alicia, Mike’s audio level is fine and people who call in to the shows audio is too high. I drive a big rig so I’m constantly having to adjust my audio. Other than that, GREAT SHOW. Please fix this.

    *UPDATE *

    Audio has been fixed. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pam Bondi Out What It Means for Gun Rights
Q: What cartridge was tested for the M1 Garand during development, and why was it ultimately not adopted?
During development, the Garand was tested with the 276 Pedersen cartridge, which offered lower recoil and better controllability, but it was rejected largely due to logistics concerns and MacArthur's insistence on keeping 30-06 stockpiles, making the switch impractical.
The Quiet Anti-Gun Expansion You're Not Hearing About
Q: What brands do you see on the range for 1911s?
Kimbers and Colts are common in competition, Springfields are less common, Remingtons are rare or defunct, and Rock Island/Armscor offer good value; the guest panel generally recommends Springfield TRP for a balance of cost and function.
Mark Lamb: Why Electing Sheriffs Matters in 2026
Q: How do you make decisions when constituents want you to vote against your principles?
Lamb states he would prioritize his principles and the Constitution over popular opinion if he strongly disagrought with a proposed bill.
Mark Lamb: Why Electing Sheriffs Matters in 2026
Q: What does it mean to be a Republican in 2026?

Glock Gen 6 Rumors, Lawsuits, and Reality
Q: How do we differentiate without going too far and vilifying gun owners?
We need to have real conversations and not artificial conversations with it. By the way, there's a lot on social media that's just bot driven.
