Your Family is not Safe on the Highways
Wasn't able to do a full show this week due to some unforeseen circumstances, but wanted to get something out there to you. A recent accident that cost three Americans their lives has my blood boiling, so I talked about the illegal immigrant wreaking havoc on our highways and what that means for Americans. I also had to address a recent post on Facebook that got someone's panties in a bunch, and how ridiculous people like her sound to normal, civilized folk. Hope to be back next week with a full episode, but we thank y'all for tuning in.Support the show

The Call to Appalachia with The Queen of NC Cassie Clark, plus Travis Wells of Appalachian Liberty, and Fabio Cianchetta of Puzzled Bull Farm
