ABOUT THE GUESTS
Ken Blackwell is Chairman of the Conservative Action Project and a decades-long leader in constitutional governance and election integrity. He served as Secretary of State for Ohio, as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, and worked with Jack Kemp at the Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Reagan. His recent viral social media post calling out prominent online conservative figures -- by name -- has sparked a major national conversation within the movement.
Bob McEwen is Executive Director of the Council for National Policy and a former U.S. Congressman from Ohio who served on the House Intelligence Committee. He was personally present in Moscow when the Soviet Union dissolved and is one of the most strategically clear-eyed voices on American foreign policy and constitutional governance in the conservative movement.
