Colonel Denny and Skip revisit the Constitution’s vision of a republic and ask whether modern politics is drifting away from it—urging Americans to understand the system, defend election integrity, and stay engaged as the nation approaches another critical election.In the news, the colonel and Skip discuss Epic Fury as well as other key stories impacting our daily lives like a national crackdown on fraud, to cartel violence erupting after the death of Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord and a deadly maritime clash off Cuba - revealing how security threats and political pressure are converging across the Americas and beyond.Of course we get another dose of humor to lighten the scene a bit.Our primary guest is Cody Frizzelle from Concerned Veterans for America. Colonel Denny and Cody discuss the DHS spending freeze and partial government shutdown are forcing U.S. Coast Guard service members - who protect our ports, interdict drugs and migrants, and conduct lifesaving rescues - to carry out critical national security missions without pay and without funding certainty, raising serious concerns about readiness and public safety.We get more military history to help keep us sharp.Retired Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Roland Ashby delivers more of his warrant wisdom specifically around what the Coast Guard does even in other areas of the world.Another team member, Brigadier General E. John "Dragon" Teichert, USAF (Ret) , is interviewed by the colonel and I must say it is very impressive!
