March 1, 2019 - Conservative Political Action Conference - Not every interview could be held on-air during CPAC 2019. But that didn't stop us from speaking with the founder of Black Guns Matter, Maj Toure. An influential voice in urban politics, we spoke with him about the importance of the 2nd Amendment to African-Americans, the impact of Red Flag legislation, and what it's like to be a Black Conservative. Answers you won't hear on mainstream media, unless you were at CPAC as well.

February 28, 2019 - Continuing the coverage from Day 1 at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) of 2019, we share the live interview with former Special Agent, former US diplomat, and author Eric J. Caron. Our conversation delves into the work struggles and realizations that led to the creation of his book, and the meaning of its title , Switched On. Along the way we learn of some of the challenges that face law enforcement, and their families, every day. Eric reveals some of his own struggle with PTSD, and the outreach available via Blue H.E.L.P. But his book is not just for law enforcement, as Eric highlights how everyone can benefit from being Switched On.

February 28, 2019 - At the Conservative Political Action Conference, our first guest was from the State of Vermont. Lawrence Zupan was the leading challenger to Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2018. But the end of the election has not stopped Zupan from striving to end the rush to socialism in Vermont. We talk taxes, firearm seizures, and the hypocritical nature of Sen. Sanders and socialism in this episode.

As a public service, we present the entire town hall telephone conference call of Representative Anthony Brindisi of the NY-22. The event started 7 minutes late, and ended 5 minutes early. Our question was prescreened but never allowed to be heard. The only edit was deleting the 3 minutes 21 seconds of the prescreening with Brindisi staff.   

Live on WNBF on January 22, 2019 (verbatim) - Known Progressive activist Matt Ryan called in to demand investigation of where Covington students got MAGA hats (not recorded). He stated the hats justify the public attack on the students, and implied this was an indoctrination. This is challenged by political commentator Michael "Vass" Vasquez - and other callers - highlighting the compulsion by denial of choices Progressives are advocating. Ryan then called back, attacking intelligence of students and doubling down on call of indoctrination because he does not like their views. What do you think about this?

As a surprise for WNBF host Roger Neal, Michael "Vass" Vasquez of NO Soundbites Allowed dropped into the studio to speak about how the end of 2018 will impact the start of 2019. From the stock market, to immigration, to pending gun legislation the end of the year was summed up with an eye to the future.

This was initially published in video format on Youtube (link below) on October 25, 2018. Due to a heavy work schedule at the end of the election cycle, it was not rendered for podcast format until now. We apologize for the delay. 

After attending the NY-22 debate held at Colgate University with Spectrum News, having heard Anthony Brindisi speak at 4 town halls including on 10/23 in Binghamton, several glaring conflicts need to be addressed. This video addresses some of them.
