Every living American has a great responsibility. That responsibility is not hard to fulfill nor is it complex. A simple act of saying thank you to Gold Star families who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms meets the requirement. In our past, there have been periods of time when we failed to meet this responsibility but today we have come together to ensure that never happens again. A new symbol, a flag, has been created for all to see when it flies, that symbolizes the sacrifice, honor, and remembrance we owe to them. My guest today lost his son, a soldier, in the Global War on Terror, created the new flag, and is the author of Tragedy to Tribute: One Father's Grief Fuels a Passionate Journey to Change the Mindset of a Nation. On December 29, 2005, George Anthony Lutz II, "Tony," was killed by a sniper's bullet while on patrol in Fallujah, Iraq. The devastating news shattered his family and friends, plunging them into shock, grief, and an unimaginable loss-a pain that has been shared by countless other families across the nation. George Lutz is the founder of Honor and Remember, Inc., a national nonprofit dedicated to permanent public recognition of every U.S. service member who died in the line of duty. A Gold Star father and passionate advocate, Lutz has traveled to all fifty states, bringing honor, healing, and unity to thousands of military families across generations.

Here am I Lord, send me! Since before the American revolution started, citizens in our country have answered this call, young and old, men and women. As in Isaiah 6:8, God presents circumstances to each of us that give us the chance to act on behalf of others. This is a deeply American value, instilled by many things in our culture and in my experience, our all-volunteer military force is a major factor. Not during our military service necessarily but afterward, this core value of standing in the breech to help our fellow human beings, regardless of what it costs us personally, is why I have great hope for the future of this country, long after I have left this planet. And that leads me to today’s story and guest. The place my DNA comes from in this country happens to be Western North Carolina where my father’s family line still runs, and in the disaster response to Hurricane Helena, where, like my ancestors, leaders not on the government payroll stepped up on that ground when government at every level would not or could not. And this is one of those stories, where a single man, a former US Army special operations soldier and small business owner, acted on his instinct to step into the fire for us, and an entire response operation sprang up around him and his band of brothers made up of volunteers who shared the same background, that saved many lives, and is still having a positive impact there today. Even former President Trump (at the time) visited his operation and helped keep focus on the disaster. Adam Smith is the founder and CEO of Savage Freedoms, a family man, a US Army Green Beret veteran, and he has graciously agreed to speak with us about this story.

Secretary Hegseth’s words echo across the force “The Chiefs of all the services need to immediately get behind this directive and start rebuilding faith, confidence and trust back into the force. Our nation and those service members affected by these unlawful orders must be taken care of. These service members and their families deserve nothing less than the absolute best care and attention for the damages and abuse they’ve received due to these unlawful orders.” But unfortunately, the injustices emanating from the original unlawful vaccine order are reverberating still, even harming service members right now, at this moment, as they are dragged through a punishment process even while the Commander in Chief and Mr. Hegseth are giving orders directing the opposite to happen. On this show we will continue to bring you their stories and try to elevate them in the public eye and give Secretary Hegseth’s team an opportunity to hear their horrendous stories directly, so they can take the right action. Once again, today’s guest is an active-duty service member currently being punished for having the audacity and moral courage to stand up, following all regulations, and professionally tried to refuse these unlawful orders. Please meet 1stLt Schuyler Skipper, USMC, an actively serving marine, and one of the 231 signatories on the Declaration of Military Accountability and his attorney Davis Younts.

Is a Ukraine-Russia War Shift happening before our eyes? President Donald Trump has said he would make a “major statement” today about Russia’s war in Ukraine and he did when he met with the head of NATO this morning. He announced the U.S. will provide more weapons to Ukraine through NATO countries paying for them as he voiced his frustrations with Russian President Vladimir Putin on whether peace can be achieved now, or sometime in the future. The truth is, Mr. Putin still holds all the cards, even with more weapons planned to be transferred to Ukraine, unless something changes the negotiating posture. The Russian Armed Forces continue to advance across territory in the Donbas region they say they want as part of any peace deal. Unfortunately, the war is causing thousands more deaths every month it continues and there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight without a negotiation breakthrough directly between the belligerents. L Todd Wood joins us today to discuss the current situation. A former Special Operations pilot, As CEO of CDM Press, he’s on a mission to report the truth, as America’s free press should be to protect our way of life.

I’m getting the distinct impression they don’t. As our friend J.M. Phelps said at the Gateway Pundit wrote not long ago “Despite efforts by President Trump and SecDef Hegseth to the restore the military following an unlawful COVID-19 shot mandate, service members are still getting booted for their objection. On January 27, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to reinstate service members who were separated from the military for objecting to the now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate. For the thousands who refused the shot and were booted from service, full pay and benefits are being offered. And on May 7, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth energized the military community, calling the mandate “unlawful as implemented” in a memo sent to Department of Defense leaders. Despite the president’s Executive Order and Hegseth’s memo, service members who remain within the military are still being separated. Take, for example, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brandon Budge. After 18 years of honorable service in the Army as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot, CW3 Budge objected to the so-called vaccine in 2021 due to concerns about his health and he was punished for it.” Warrant Officer Budge is my guest today to discuss his situation and since he is on active duty here is the disclaimer: his views are his own and do not represent the Department of the Army or the Department Of Defense.

We must talk about military vaccination requirements. The military would rather lose quality members than grant them exemptions for even the flu shot now. At least four military members are being forced from the military for requesting religious, medical, or administrative accommodations from eth seasonal flu shot. Why? It’s not for readiness because as you can see in my cold open, a published Pentagon paper says you are 4.4 times more likely to get sick after getting the seasonal fly shot. It’s not for public health either under those circumstances. And after what we’ve experienced with side effects from the COVID mRNA vaccines, why are we risking further damage to our force readiness by even considering seasonal mRNA flu vaccines? What is the compelling government interest in not retaining these members? Is it because they dare to ask why? We have one of those members as my guest today to discuss the situation and why he’s asking for relief, but had his pay stopped for months, putting his family into a financial crisis! Brennan (Skip) Schilperoort is a 17-year Active Duty Air Force Major and Pilot in Air Mobility Command with zero prior disciplinary action. AMC refused to process his flu shot Religious Accommodation Request; his base refused to give him a medical exemption even though he had a severe adverse reaction to a previous flu shot and was able to prove natural immunity with a highly positive antibody test; his command gave him a Letter of Reprimand and sent him to a discharge board. He's currently awaiting the Secretary of the Air Force's decision to kick him out or not so here is the disclaimer: The Major’s views are his own and do not represent the Department of the Air Force or the Department Of Defense.

Some days are fantastic, but some are very tough, even in the greatest country in human history. That is why we Americans who still believe in God, rely on our faith and pray for our leaders and fellow citizens so fervently. President Trump’s near-death experience only made his faith deeper and more firmly established his realization that he is a faith leader of the American people. These last few days with the tragedy in Texas unfolding, our faith has been tested, but God also show’s us every day that our faith in Him is rightly placed, as we see our fellow citizens respond with strength and compassion. I scheduled today’s guest weeks ago for just before July 4th and then had to move him to today because we could not do the show last week due to unforeseen circumstances. All I can say is the Lord works in mysterious ways because we need him today more than we did last week. Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer is a key member of the White House Faith Council and was present when President Trump signed the Executive Order establishing it. As founder of Pastors For Trump, a national coalition with pastors in all 50 states, and lead pastor of Sheridan Church in Tulsa, Lahmeyer has become one of the most outspoken voices for faith in politics. He is also the author of the new book Chasing After the Wind, which explores the elusive pursuit of happiness in life and its connection to holiness. It emphasizes that everyone is chasing happiness, yet few seem to attain it, often leading to unholy decisions.

That is the New York City Democrat Party’s nominee for Mayor, Zorhan Mamdani. According to Xi Van Fleet on X: Mamdani isn’t just a Woke Communist—he’s a textbook Marxist. His agenda goes beyond identity politics; it’s rooted in the classic Marxist goal of seizing the means of production—abolishing private property and placing factories, resources, and land under state control. He is a full-fledged Communist, and his “project” is nothing less than transforming America into a totalitarian regime. Wow, and my guest today fully understands Mamdani because he has lived it! Alexander G. Markovsky is a scholar of Marxism, and a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research. He is the author of "America Did Not Defeat Communism, She Adopted It.” His more than 100 articles have appeared on The Hill, American Thinker, and his latest “Democratic Socialism – The Philosophy of Poverty” in Real Clear Defense. He is also the owner and CEO of Litwin Management Services, LLC, which specializes in management of large energy-related projects. Mr. Markovsky was born in 1944 in the Soviet Union to the family of construction executive and high-ranking Communist Party official. He has an MS in structural engineering from Moscow and Kharkov Universities. He holds a PhD in economics and political science and has a degree in English for foreign professionals, from Columbia University.

The RINO Removal Project is a national grassroots movement dedicated to restoring the Republican Party’s conservative, America First roots. We focus on identifying, exposing, and removing Republicans In Name Only—career politicians who campaign as conservatives but vote like Democrats. Through strategic media, state-level monitoring, and coordinated primary challenges, they will empower voters to hold these so-called “representatives” accountable. RRP is a battle plan. They are uniting voters, influencers, and candidates to replace the establishment with bold, unapologetic leaders who champion secure borders, fiscal responsibility, election integrity, and traditional American values. RRP CEO Leo The Lion said “Under our operational structure, the RRP can engage in political activities, such as funding independent political ads and supporting primary challengers, in alignment with our purpose and in compliance with applicable campaign finance laws.” If you’re fed up with betrayal from within, you’re not alone—this movement is built for you. My guest today is Steve Darbonne. Steve is a United States Army Veteran of 8 years, Purple Heart recipient. Two combat deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Content creator and podcaster of the show Cowboys and Indians Podcast - part of The Patriot Prayer Network. President of RINO Removal Project.

Wow, that’s a lot of craziness and its going to get worse, much worse, unless New Yorkers with gumption are willing to step into the arena and fix it! These are serious issues as the biggest Trump Supporter in the state had a death threat, not from an Islamist terrorist or crazy communist Democrat, but form the chairman of the state Conservative Party! New York City’s Democrats just elected an Islamist Communist as its nominee for the mayor’s race, and this guy wants the government to run your grocery stores, not to mention he hates Israel and will make the city a sanctuary for Islamist terrorists! My guest today is that huge Trump supporter who had his life threatened, Anthony Constantino. Anthony built a 1200+ person company called Sticker Mule. He likes to solve big problems and worked to stop Anti-Trump hate ever since a bullet hit President Trump. He built the country's largest "Vote for Trump" sign and defeated a Democrat restraining order to light it up! And he’s also recently stepped up to be the New York State Director of Republicans for National Renewal!
