In Hour Two, Keith vents his frustration at the TSA’s blatant double standard for what can be allowed through airport security.

In Hour Two, Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver joins the program to discuss Chick-fil-A's dangerous precedent in toeing the line for the Southern Poverty Law Center. Finally, Steve explains the origins of "conservatives for pornography" (while remaining just PC enough for radio).
