Missouri's SEPA would fine state help to federal gun enforcement $50,000 per person.

Patrick Holland returns to the show. The hosts greet him with their usual loose, joking energy before steering the conversation toward the Constitutional Money Act and the broader fight over liberty. The banter comes in hot. They trade playful remarks about new eyes, oversized eyes, conspiracy jokes, and the way their audience already knows the show’s inside language. Then the tone shifts. The conversation turns more earnest as the hosts describe the Constitutional Money Act as a hopeful sign that constitutional principles can still surface in real politics. Second Amendment work takes center stage. Patrick Holland explains that the Second Amendment Preservation Act began in Missouri in 2012, written by Dave Rowland and Ron Calzone, and that other states later adapted the language for their own fights. The backstory matters. He frames the law as part of a longer effort to resist both Republican and Democratic encroachment on the right to self-defense. The discussion keeps widening. From there, the guests and hosts talk about the idea that rights come from God rather than government, and why the United States is unusual for putting that principle into its constitutional order. Missouri is held up as a model. The episode presents the state as a place where organized pressure can shape policy and give other states a language template to use. The mood stays upbeat. Even while talking about infringement, political tension, and the need to keep showing up, everyone keeps the exchange friendly, quick, and moving forward. The hosts keep returning to practical action. Patrick Holland encourages listeners to learn how to engage their own state legislature and support similar efforts if they do not already know how. The show closes cleanly. The final stretch thanks Holland, affirms the Missouri effort as a standard for the rest of the country, and leaves the listener with the sense that persistence still counts.
