What is the first duty of the American Government?  In this episode, Ben talks about what protecting Americans means—starting with strong national defense, strong national security, and keeping criminals off our streets.  At last week’s State of the Union, when President Trump asked members of Congress to stand if they agree the first duty of the American Government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens, one party stood and applauded and the other remained in their seats.  This stark difference in values is not isolated to what the world witnessed at last week’s SOTU—We are consistently seeing it throughout the country in all levels of government.  The receipts illustrate this pattern of priority, and Ben digs into the voting records of current members of Congress and one candidate from MO-01 looking to reclaim her old house seat in this years election.  What should be the bare minimum when holding office in the American Government? Is it serving, protecting and making a difference for the American People?  You decide.  And remember when you head to the polls this election season.  

LOCAL INVOLVEMENT IS VITAL!
