Episode 15: In this episode, Lynn Scheid outlines how America’s strength depends on more than just military might. He explains how national security, economic independence, and energy dominance form the foundation of American leadership, and how each has been dangerously weakened by short-sighted policy, foreign dependence, and bureaucratic neglect. From recruiting crises in the military to foreign-controlled supply chains and energy vulnerability, Scheid breaks down the systemic failures that threaten America’s future. He offers a clear plan: rebuild the defense industrial base, restore energy independence, and reassert economic sovereignty. Strength is not a slogan. It’s a strategy for survival.
