**Making the Argument with Nick Freitas**

Green Beret combat veteran Nick Freitas has earned a reputation as a leading advocate for conservative policies and philosophy across the nation.

In this podcast, Nick dives into the issues, policies, and political philosophies of our time to dissect the arguments presented by the left and to make the case for the conservative values and principles that make up the core of the conservative movement while telling relevant stories from his time in combat in Iraq and giving a behind the scenes look at the legislative process today.

Mayor Mamdani's 12 Billion Dollar Lie May 20, 2026

The Virginia Gun Grab is Worse Than You Think May 19, 2026

Show notes

The Governor says you can keep your AR-15. She also says you can't carry it, transfer it, or, in some readings, even transport it. Grandfathering isn't freedom if the firearm becomes a museum piece in your own safe. Let's walk through and clarify what this law actually says, because the text and the press conference are two very different things.
