Summary
Host Reed Galen is joined by Olivia Troye, the Former Homeland Security & Counterterrorism Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence, and the current Executive Director of 97Percent, a bipartisan gun safety organization. They discuss the rise of political violence, why the GOP is exponentially becoming more radicalized, and why it’s so crucial for our democracy’s future to hold Donald Trump (and his insurrectionist supporters) responsible for their actions. Plus, what responsible gun ownership looks like and how to diffuse the political polarization around the issue. Be sure to follow Olivia Troye on social media and keep up with her work with 97Percent. For more from Reed Galen, be sure to subscribe to “The Home Front”.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, it's Reed. Before we get started, it's 2024. We've been waiting. Here it is. We've |
| 0:06.9 | been talking about this. Everything we did in 2021 to prepare for 2022. Everything we did in 2022 to prepare for |
| 0:14.7 | 23. It all comes down to this, guys. Now, 10 months, 10 months to Election Day. I hope you'll get involved with |

| 0:42.4 | And I cannot say thank you enough. And now, on with the show. |
| 0:50.2 | Welcome back to the Lincoln Project. I'm your host, Reed Galen. Today, I'm joined by Olivia |
| 1:00.0 | Troy, former Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence. She's currently |
| 1:06.2 | the executive director of 97%, a bipartisan gun safety organization. Today, she's coming to us from |

| 2:22.5 | This is not the first time Rick's been swatted, but it sounds like that, you know, |
