Brandon Straka is the founder of the #WalkAway Campaign, a former liberal who left the left and built a movement encouraging others to think for themselves and share their own journeys to freedom. The Brandon Straka Show digs into the political issues shaping America — foreign policy, national security, free speech, and the future of the movement — but doesn't stop there. From culture and current events to the questions others won't ask, Brandon sits down for honest conversations on just about everything under the sun.
