Lori Kilpatrick grew up in a small rural southern farming community.  She joined the army right out of high school where she met her husband.  While traveling base to base she started a family as an Army wife and achieved a degree in education.

Her husband's family had settled in Douglas, Arizona and Lori's family retired from the service and settled in the area. As a small business owner, Lori decided to run for AZ state Senate.  Even though she lost, she realized that her commitment to making a difference and changing what she saw as corruption within the establishment would not keep her from trying again.

Running for County Supervisor of Cochise County, AZ she once again encountered the difficulties of running against an incumbent.  We are honored to have her on our show tonight as we discuss the perils and pitfalls and the accomplishments of running for public office.

RADICAL SON: A Generational Odyssey By David Horowitz

Radical Son: Second Edition by David Horowitz is one of the most compelling and important political memoirs in recent American history - republished after more than twenty years with a new introduction by the author. In a narrative that possesses both remarkable political importance and extraordinary literary power, David Horowitz tells the story of his startling political odyssey from sixties radical to nineties conservative.    CALL Sandy at 516-735-5468 or e-mail Sandy to schedule interviews with David Horowitz.   A political document of our times, Radical Son traces three generations of one American family's infatuation with the radical left from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the Marxist empire six decades later. David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left and an editor of Ramparts - the magazine that set the intellectual and revolutionary tone for the movement.    In the new edition of Radical Son, you'll learn:   The deep divisions that divide our country now began in the Sixties; The violence that tore up our cities this past summer and the coddling of black criminals began in the Sixties. A murder committed by the Black Panthers ended my life in the left; and  The leftward shift of the Democrat Party began with the riot that Tom Hayden staged at the 1968 Democrat convention after which he led the anti-American left into the Democrat Party. This left took over the Democrat Party with the election of Barack Obama in 2008.   From his vantage point at the center of the action, he populates Radical Son with vivid portraits of people who made the radical decade, while unmaking America at the same time. This painful and difficult journey from Left to Right has made Horowitz the most hated ex-radical of his generation. In telling his story, he provides not just an intimate personal account of his own transformation, but a scathing moral history of the American left, and a guide to the evolving political conscience of an entire generation.   "David Horowitz's political pilgrimage from a Sixties radical to a Reagan conservative - and the friends and enemies he has made along the way - makes for a very interesting, very compelling story. Speaking as a conservative: it's much better to have David Horowitz with you than against you. Radical Son demonstrates why." --William J. Bennett, Author of The Moral Compass   ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Horowitz is a conservative thinker and writer who has authored dozens of books over the course of his lifetime. He began his political career as one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and served as an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts. As described in this bestselling autobiography, Horowitz was forced to confront some difficult truths about the political left after a close friend of his was murdered by the Black Panthers, and ultimately found a political and intellectual home as a conservative activist. David is the renowned conservative commentator and New York Timesbestselling author of Big Agenda: President Trump's Plan to Save America and Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America. He is the founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles.

CRAIG CAMPOBASSO BIO

Multiple award-winning filmmaker and Emmy-nominated casting director Craig Campobasso started in the entertainment business at age 15 when he landed his first national commercial for McDonald’s, and spoke his first line of dialogue to Tuesday Weld in a movie of the week.



After graduating high school at 17, Craig went to work behind-the-scenes on blockbuster film classics such as Frank Herbert’s Dune directed by David Lynch; and two Arnold Schwarzenegger movies: Conan The Destroyer and Total Recall. 



He began his casting career on Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories, and received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Casting for a Series on David E. Kelley’s Picket Fences. Craig’s casting career spans three decades.



At 26, he experienced a life-changing spiritual awakening. That’s when The Autobiography of an ExtraTerrestrial Saga book series was born. His passion is to write stories that provoke the reader to think, to raise their consciousness, and to expand their mind about Creation, while still entertaining in the Hollywood tradition. 



Craig directed, wrote, and produced the short film Stranger at the Pentagon, adapted from the popular UFO book authored by the late Dr. Frank E. Stranges. 



The short film won Best Sci-Fi film at the Burbank International Film Festival, and the Remi Award at the Worldfest Houston International Film Festival for Best Sci-Fi Short.



Craig has been a guest on many radio shows, including Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. He’s also been a guest on Open Minds with Regina Meredith and Beyond Belief, hosted by George Noory on Gaia.com. 



Craig has also appeared on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens.

His latest book is The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac: The Ultimate Guide to Greys, Reptilians, Hybrids, and Nordics, released in January 2021.

ABOUT THE BOOK

This is the ultimate field guide to the 82 extraterrestrial species that populate the universe. ET enthusiast Craig Campobasso explores the origins, physical characteristics, technological and consciousness abilities, dimensional capacities, belief systems, and cosmic agendas of each of the species.

 

The species fall into two categories: 1) benevolent races, which function as the guardians of humanity, whose goals include helping people overcome duality, healing, and protecting; and 2) malevolent races, which are responsible for abductions and cloning, and who ultimately seek domination.

This is an intergalactic expose that will entertain those interested in UFOs and ETs. 



If you like sci-fi and fantasy such as in the Marvel universe or Star Trek, Star Wars, and popular shows such as Ancient Aliens, or if you're intrigued by Roswell and Project Blue Book, this book delves deep into who the real extraterrestrials are, and what they want with us. 

Eli Zupnick is an experienced communications strategist who has spent his career working with candidates and elected officials to help them win races, enact their policy and legislative agendas, manage crises, and get their messages out clearly and effectively. Eli began strategic communications consulting following ten years in the United States Senate, including six years as Communications Director for Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), the Assistant Democratic Leader and third ranking Democrat in Senate leadership.



As a strategic communications consultant, Eli has worked with nonprofits and advocacy organizations to help them develop communications plans, manage crises, roll out new projects and initiatives, and secure favorable coverage in major news outlets. He has written and placed op-eds that have appeared in the Washington Post and other major publications.



As Sen. Murray’s Communications Director, Eli managed communications for her personal Senate office, Democratic leadership office, and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Ranking Member office. He led the communications strategy and execution around the passage of numerous bipartisan bills, including her signature K-12 education law that replaced No Child Left Behind. He was on the front lines of Senate Democrats’ messaging and strategy in the fights against President Trump’s attempts to repeal health care reform, defund Planned Parenthood, and jam the courts with extreme judges.



Prior to that role, Eli was Communications Director for the Senate Budget Committee, where he managed communications for Sen. Murray and committee Democrats through the rollout and passage of the Senate Democratic budget, the 2013 government shutdown, and the Murray-Ryan bipartisan budget deal. Prior to that, Eli was press secretary for Senator Murray and lead spokesperson for her work on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the Supercommittee).



In addition to his work in the Senate, Eli has extensive political campaign experience. He took time off from the Senate to serve as senior communications advisor for Sen. Chris Murphy's 2012 successful election in Connecticut as well as Rep. Bruce Braley's 2014 Senate race in Iowa, and then to run communications for Sen. Murray's successful re-election campaign in 2016. Prior to that, he was a press staffer on the 2008 Obama campaign in multiple states and worked on local races in New Jersey and Rhode Island.



Eli is a native New Yorker and graduated from Queens College with a degree in Political Science and Philosophy.
