Evan Sayet returns to the Break It Down Show to discuss his latest book. Evan's analysis of the "radical left" ties objectives, cutting critique and history illustrating. The moment that makes Evan's thoughts special is when he describes the supremacist elements of "Woke" ideology.  

One of the points Evan makes is that he's not anti-liberal...he's anti-racism. Further, he notes that the right, for its faults, tries to ameliorate to solve problems as compared to the left's approach of complete reform.

As we work to understand our impact on the environment, we often get lost in political orientation. In this case, there is no doubt. we dump munitions "bombs" into our lakes, rivers and oceans. As these things degrade, it poisons everything in the vicinity.  When know about plastic, we can measure it, it floats...munitions however are a much more challenging situation. They're just a few people working on this problem. One of them is Terrance Long who joins us on the Break It Down Show. Jeremy McKane

John Spencer brings us COL/DR Liam Collins to discuss what modern combat looks like...and how it's evolved and continues to change. One of the things we know today, stability type conflict is harder to master than straight military matches.

The defund the police theory? How do we get some insight on what that looks like?  We grab folks who've tried to create police forces from the ground up...shaping a community with modern design, theory and support.  John Spencer is a recognized expert in warfare, and has deployed more than once in a capacity as a police trainer. What can we learn from someone who specific job was to create community stability and competence with the police? Turns out, quite a lot. Pete A Turner Hosts
