Title: Breaking it down with Dru Heaton – Part 1

Date recorded:   Feb 11, 2025

Join Peter, Terra and guest, Dru Heaton, (Arizona Libertarian State Chair) as they discuss the true history of how President Abraham Lincoln defied the Constitution and set a precedent for the future. And speaking of the Constitution…. It’s a powerful document and yet only a piece of paper. If unjust and unmoral people are in positions of power, can we really expect them to follow it…? Listen in to our lively discussion!
