Michael Drew :: We're about to live through 1943 all over again

What in the world is going on with people these days? Why does the division in our country seem so deep and irreconcilable?

If one attitude can sum up our culture at the moment, it’s “I’m okay, you’re *not* okay.”    

According to Michael Drew, we’ve been here before. Back in 1940 or so….and 1860 before that. We go through this every 80 years. 

Brink and Producer Jim talk to Michael who co-authored a book called, “Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future” and it’s astonishingly accurate.

John Harris :: Gun Permit Applications are Skyrocketing

Owning and being permitted to carry a gun doesn’t come with knowing how to use it properly and what rights you have when you find yourself in an altercation.

In this episode, Brink and Tom talk with John Harris, Executive Director of the Tennessee Firearms Association.

The Tennessee Firearms Association holds that every American is endowed with certain inalienable rights, granted to us by our Creator, and made our birthright by the sacrifices of the men and women who founded this state and country. The right to keep and bear arms is one of those inalienable rights; one that our government has no authority to infringe or take away. One that our government did not create but merely acknowledges and claims to protect.
