Waterbury, VT, USA / WDEV Vermont Radio


Ross welcomes in Aaron Terr, Director of Public Advocacy with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, to discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk on college campuses, how civil debate and political tolerance in the solution, how college campuses should respond, and how we as a nation come together.

Then, Rachel Burgin, Deputy Regional Director of Americans for Prosperity talks about AfP’s Affordability Tour stops this week, and how advocating for lower taxes and regulations is not an ‘extreme’ position.

Chelsea Magwire, Vice Chair of the Vermont Young Republicans, talks about the impact of Charlie Kirk’s passing on young people, how young Vermonters can get involved to improve the state, and how they plan to grow over the next year.

And John Goodnight talks about foreign policy concerns, Russia’s escalation of the war in Ukraine, Israel’s strike in Qatar, and America’s shift in military strategy.
