The Republican establishment is branding peaceful protestors—many of them veterans—as terrorists, while defending ICE’s crackdown in America’s cities. Ken Harbaugh and Kris Goldsmith discuss the hypocrisy and the growing authoritarian streak in a party that once claimed to defend freedom.

Ken Harbaugh speaks with Army vet and democracy activist Fred Wellman about the growing threat of Donald Trump invoking the Insurrection Act — a move that would grant him sweeping powers to suppress dissent and target political opponents.

In this video, Bobby Jones ( @ValorMediaNetwork ) dives deep into the significance of the U.S. Navy’s 250th birthday — a milestone that honors centuries of sacrifice, innovation, global presence, and unwavering dedication to freedom.  But then came Donald Trump’s recent speech at the Navy’s celebration — a speech that flies in the face of everything the Navy stands for.

Two tragedies—one at a Michigan church and another on the North Carolina waterfront—are a warning light flashing red: America has a veteran mental health emergency. In this episode, Bobby Jones from  @ValorMediaNetwork  connects how these shootings by former service members reflect a broader crisis—and how cuts, hiring freezes, and policy whiplash have hollowed out VA mental health care.
