A lot of libertarians are very frustrated with President Trump. They consider the war in Iran, increased government spending and see betrayal. Some have even called for his impeachment…but others have suggested that he is actually making very important progress…perhaps the most important in 100 years. Today we will hear that argument.

SPONSOR: Alliance Defending Freedom
Female athletes are being forced to compete against biological males, sometimes without their consent or even their knowledge. In Washington, high school sophomore Kallie Keeler was sexually assaulted on the wrestling mat during a tournament and only afterward learned her opponent was a boy who identifies as a girl. With Alliance Defending Freedom’s help, Kallie is appealing to the Supreme Court over a policy that allows males in girls’ sports and does not require schools to disclose it to female athletes or their parents.
Help fight for Kallie and athletes like her. Text NICK to 83848 or give at https://JoinADF.com/Nick
