G.K. and Dave launch this episode with an excerpt from Paul Harvey’s timeless 1965 monologue, If I Were the Devil.

From there, the guys dig into how far the Democrat Party has fallen — so deranged and devoted to its radical leftist agenda that it can’t even bring itself to demand Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones end his campaign after he fantasized about murdering a Republican political opponent. Jones reportedly wrote that if he had only two bullets, one would go to his GOP rival — and he’d have to decide whether Adolf Hitler or Pol Pot deserved the second.

The discussion continues as G.K. and Dave expose the Party’s moral decay and its refusal to congratulate President Trump on his historic diplomatic success in brokering genuine peace between Israel and Hamas.

It’s a powerful reminder that Paul Harvey’s warning wasn’t prophecy — it’s reality.

G.K., as he once did with on his old show The Right Balance (TRB), introduces Dave (even using the old intro from TRB) to talk about Dave's new book.

The book is titled, Commanding the Heights: Leadership Lessons from Army ATC.

Using is excellent interview skills, G.K. has Dave first explain what ATC stands for and then has Dave explain his personal connection as Army Air Traffic Controller and how it molded his leadership style and skills.

Dave explains how walking with Christ gave clarity to those experiences, and that the goal was not just to write a memoir, but also a roadmap for leaders.

Coming upon is one year anniversary of retiring from active duty and civil military service, Dave wanted to leave a legacy and tie it into our current culture's need for leader with moral courage.

The guys welcome back intel analyst and media expert Lance Fairchok to unpack the past 72 hours since the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk.

From there, Lance examines the tragic results of that propagandizing, including the disturbing insensitivity and even celebration surrounding the murder of a young and innocent man like Charlie Kirk.

Dave brings biblical clarity, sharing passages from 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 and Romans 1:26-32 that expose the demonic deception targeting our children and the diabolical behavior it produces.

In this episode, G.K. and Dave take a hard look at the Democrat Party’s biggest problem: a lack of moral courage. Whether it’s bowing to the theatrics of Sandy Cortes (aka Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), ignoring the corruption of dangerous New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, or excusing transgender terrorism, the party is marching down the same road that led the Whigs into political extinction.

Dave wraps up with a teaser—an exciting announcement that he and G.K. will reveal at the start of the next episode.
