J.D. Mitschke has an extensive educational background in the psychological sciences and is the author of "Modern-Day Liberalism: Exploring the Psychological Foundations of the Disorder."

I'll start off with the disclaimer that J.D. is politically conservative (if you haven't picked that up from his book title) and has some political opinions that you may not agree or believe in-and that is perfectly okay. J.D. offers some opinions that may be considered controversial or even offensive to some people. All that can be asked is that you listen with an open mind and form your own opinions. Some of the things covered: The difference between liberalism now and in the past, why liberalism is considered a "mental disorder" to him, characteristics of extreme political views, hatred in politics (especially liberals), the difference between 'Conservatives' and 'Republicans', the background of the current liberal movement, how liberals are ruining the country, what Black Lives Matter could do to make a better impact and much more.

Former U.S. Marine Robert Graves joins the podcast to talk about what it’s like transitioning back to civilian life and his post-military life as a life coach and certified hypnotherapist as well as author of “How to Grow a Beard: A Military Transition Guide Back Into Civilian Life.” He has dedicated his civilian time to learning and pursuing ways to help those in need, with special attention to adolescents, veterans, and those suffering from Auto-Immune Diseases. We cover his military life, miss-conceptions about military personnel, his job in the Marines, what a certified hypnotherapist does, his personal journey from military to civilian life, why it’s so hard for certain people to make that transition, what the government should do to help, what civilians can do to help and so much more. A very eye opening podcast that will hopefully bring help to current and former men and woman of the armed forces.
