Summary
Mikey, Andrew, and Blake take an hour of questions live from CK Exclusives subscribers, including:

-How does one get old-fashioned local GOPs to get with the times?
-How can young men get hired without a college degree?
-Is there anything conservatives could learn today from the Founders who opposed the Constitution?
