John and Lefty boot a few listener submitted Jackwagons on to the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train and honor some Lead Head Brigade Heroes as they take a ride on Lead Force One.

Trains and Planes

This weeks Jackwagons include a group that terrorized a Popeye's restaurant with a gun because they ran out of chicken sandwiches! Another making the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train is a High School in Colorado that expelled a student over posting pictures during a day at the range with his mother because of the "Safe2Tell" threat reporting program run through the state attorney general's office.

Our Lead Head Brigade Heroes: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his defense of the Second Amendment, first taking on actress Alyssa Milano, then turning his attention to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Our Next LHB Hero is the camper that saved a New Jersey family from a wolf attack in Canada's Banff National Park.

The Toxic Man

The Toxic Man encourages men to embrace their masculinity. Just because a man is masculine doesn't mean they are detrimental to society. Traditional masculinity is important for a society to be strong. The Toxic Man refuses to accept that social re-engineering of men is good for our culture.
