John Carpay, head of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, says the COVID lockdowns were a reaction to the fear propagated by health officials, and the delays in essential surgeries have also cost lives.

With the NFL back in full swing for the season, the anthem protests aren’t going away, so give Drew a call at 1-877-332-8255 and let him know what you think of the protests and those who claim to be bothered by them.
