This is the Daily Signal Podcast for Monday, October 26. I'm Robert Bluey.

And I'm Virginia Allen. On today's show, we talk with Ralph Bearer,

author of the newly released book, Eternal Vigilance,

guarding against the predatory state, about the future of our nation and how we can defend our liberty.

We also read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about a recent victory for female athletes amid the fight to defend women's sports from the agenda of the transgender movement.

everyone and there is no better way to ensure that your vote counts than by

going to your polling place to vote.

Your vote is sacred as Virginia said, so don't give it up.
