Patriotic historian Ben Martin discusses Abraham Lincoln, a divided America, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the Dred Scott decision. Lincoln’s personal journey was marked by a deep sense of self-consciousness, as he felt ashamed of his appearance. Despite this, he possessed an inherent drive to better himself and overcome the challenges posed by his humble background. The negative experiences he endured during his childhood, including his father’s mistreatment and demanding nature, likely contributed to his strong opposition to slavery. While Lincoln did not adhere to organized religion, he maintained a belief in a higher power and the presence of God in his life. Listen to the full interview in the first hour.

Sixth generation farmer and rancher Trent Loos shares updates regarding rural America and our food and energy freedom.. The current Biden administration is facing criticism for raising the prices of essential items such as milk and school lunches. Meanwhile, Governor Polis is expressing satisfaction over the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold California’s Proposition 12, which effectively prohibits restrictive containment measures for livestock. However, it is important to consider the potential consequences of this ruling. While containing farm animals in enclosures promotes their safety, allowing them to roam freely may not offer any advantages. In fact, certain animals are prone to aggressive behavior when placed in open pens. Therefore, the Supreme Court’s verdict could have a more significant impact on the American food supply than anticipated. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.
