Representatives from the Kwik Trip 50k, and the Band of Runners organization joined Josh to discuss how they are working together to support veterans and gold star families.  The Kwik Trip 50K is a run in Wisconsin that was started by Josh, Jon and a small group of running friends.  It started as a goofy idea that grew into a way to raise money for an awesome organization.  That organization is, Band of Runners.  They bring veterans and gold star families to a trail running camp to introduce them to trail running, and the trail running community.  They teach them all about the therapeutic properties of running through nature and also help provide them with a sense of community that they may have lost after their time in the service.  It's a small organization that is making a huge impact.     Help the Kwik Trip 50K support the Band of Runners: https://donorbox.org/2025-kwik-trip-50k-fun-run   Check out the Kwik Trip 50K: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CHKgTEteH/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://youtu.be/UaE1rFxg_cc   For other ways to support the Band of Runners check them out online:  https://www.bandofrunners.org/   Links:   https://gml.bio.link/   YOUTUBE:   https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   RUMBLE:   https://rumble.com/c/GML   Check out Martens Minute!   https://martensminute.podbean.com/   Follow Josh Martens on X:   https://twitter.com/joshmartens13   Join the private discord & chat during the show!   joingml.com   Bank on Yourself bankonyourself.com/gml   Get FACTOR Today!

Young Voices contributor, Lora Karch, joins Josh to discuss her recent article "Got Immigration Problems? Fix Foreign Policy First."  In her article, she uses the Syrian conflict as an example to show how interventionist policies helped to make Syria unlivable, which led to the mass displacement of millions of people into other nations.  This has helped to create the immigration problems we see today.   Lora's article in the Libertarian Institute:   Got Immigration Problems?
