THIS WEEK

Senator Martha McSally and W4W teamed up to give an exclusive on her new
memoir, Dare To Fly.



MUST WATCH: Martha Joins W4W for Wide-Ranging Conversation on Conquering Fear,
Coronavirus Relief Bill, and so much MORE!

 

Senator Martha McSally joined W4W for a wide-ranging discussion that covered
everything from her new memoir, her efforts to lower prescription drug prices,
China, and MORE! 

A full Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, deployed six times, and the first female
fighter pilot to fly in combat -- Martha needs no introduction.

 

She sat down with W4W and former State Department official and former FOX News
host Heather Nauert to talk about her touching new memoir and everything she's
working on in the Senate. 

 

Here are a few of our favorite clips from their conversation!
