The Americanist Podcast

Randy is not only a best selling author, he is a former national security advisor at the John Hopkins Center for Health Security. He has worked with Senators Bob Graham (D-FL) and Jim Talent (R-MO) as the founder of the bipartisan WMD Terrorism Research Center. The list goes on...

He is the founder of "agoodwar.com" and "Randall Larsen Presents", creating the number one best-selling documentary on Amazon, "Blackhawk Down" and other award winning films.

He served in both the Army and the Air Force, retiring as an Air Force Colonel. One of his assignment was commander of America’s VIP fleet of aircraft at Andrews AFB, Maryland - which includes Air Force One.

He and Ron have been friends for four decades.

Eric step down from his State Senate seat in order to run for Congress. Eric takes the time to state his points of view on a plethora of issues. He is keen on liberty and known for his support of the second amendment. But he is also a reformer. The cost of administration comes up more than once. No topic was off limits. And, of course, that means we talk about coronavirus pandemic. There is no doubt that this is a must listen episode.

Rob is a patriotic American who has worn many hats - explosive ordinance technician, base commander, combat commander, executive for a Fortune 500 energy corporation, cum laude graduate of the Kennedy School of government, candidate for US Senate. We discuss a myriad of topics, including the size of the "fourth estate", loss of an apolitical military, the recent vote to limit presidential power against Iran, the internal threat of the "red-green" axis, problems with the educational system, and various opportunities to make corrections. It's long, but it's very substantive.

We discuss The Road to Americanism and the importance of a republic.

Part two of our podcast with Maj Gen John Barry is a relaxed discussion among three Air Force classmates, but the discussion centers first around constitutional issues. Of course, being Zoomies, we couldn't resist discussing flying, including a sidebar about "Sully" and the importance of the Soaring Program at the Academy.

General Barry, a former White House Fellow, talks about his involvement in the investigations of the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle disasters. He also talks about his experience as the Commander of the largest F16 Wing in the inventory when engines were failing. In addition to his military acumen, he talks about becoming the K12 Superintendant of the year for 2011. He is very active in the creation of "Aerospace Alley" in Colorado, which is the aerospace equivalent of Silicon Valley. Finally, he discusses the state of citizenship and various global issues.

As a performing comedian, Brad has felt the cancel culture like Dave Chapelle, Jerry Seinfeld, and others. The full discussion was hilarious. This edited discussion is still humorous, but it's put into the context of our social constitution. Brad also discusses his experience with narrating Political Vertigo. Unlike most performers in Hollywood, he fastidiously avoids voicing his political views. If only more were like him.

Make sure to listen to the last five minutes of the podcast.
