If you are an Idaho Republican, do you prefer a primary election, caucus, or conference, to select a presidential nominee? Nate opened up the next hour by talking about Scott Baio. That lead to a brief conversation about California wanting reparations. Do you believe the polls? Right now, the polls put Trump beating Biden in a hypothetical 2024 Presidential rematch. Nate is really tired of AR-15s being discussed. Even thought it goes against his principles, why shouldn't we just ban them at this point? Nate asks AR-15 owners to call in and discuss how they feel that a weapon that they also own is being used to commit horrible crimes.
