The Rob Maness Show

Is America having a wakeup call yet? The events of the last two weeks should surely be one as we see the Color Revolution ramp up against the Republic. If you read General Flynn’s pinned post on X you will see an answer to the question: What is a Color Revolution?” It is the insidious “overthrow” of an elected government by clandestine parties. As the General says this has been going on a long time, at least since the Obama administration where they recruited and filled our federal government with socialist left and right (warmongers) bureaucrats in places like State, the Intel Community and the Defense (now War) department. This was all going on quietly behind the scenes up until very recently, the Seditious 6 video is the most blatant effort by leftist elected officials and now that effort is linked to the fake and anonymously sourced report out of the Washington Post about war crimes being committed by our forces killing drug boat targets in the Gulf of America. This includes elected officials on the so-called right too as we saw the Republican Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee buy into the fake war crimes story over the weekend. Layered underneath all that is the Islamist attack on National Guard troops in DC killing one and seriously wounding another. We are paying a high price for the massive migration of third world masses into our country. All these developments are part of a 5th generation warfare effort to take down the duly elected leader of our government, Donald Trump. Planting false narratives like the National Guard are Nazis in the minds of citizens leads to violent actions at some point and is classic 5GW. My guest today is Chad Cation who has worked with co-authors of The Citizen’s Guide to 5th Generation Warfare retired Lt General Mike Flynn and the late Boone Cutler extensively. Chad is a former US Navy Seabee, retired firefighter and first responder, Trump Campaign veterans’ coalition surrogate, GOP political activist, National Field Director of The Conservative Caucus, and now an exceptional field operative in this type of warfare in places like Portland Oregon.

This is numbers season I suppose because it seems polling is leading the headlines every day right now, but what do they really mean in this age of 5th generation warfare? Is Trump really under water with his base coalition? Is the affordability problem as big as the media is saying it is? Is there really a MAGA civil war as indicated by Margorie Taylor Green’s recent resignation announcement? Who are these people called Groypers led by a guy named Nick Fuentes and is the group as big of an influence as some media outlets are trying to say they are? The answers are in reliable data, and that is hard to come by. But when the President of the. United States asks you to come chat about your data, maybe you’re on to something and that is why my guest today, Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen reports, was invited to the White House last week, and is here to talk with us about the reality of the numbers we’re hearing about. I’ve seen members of our team attack him in recent days because of the data he’s reporting but his data is so reliable, his X handle is @honestpollster! Mark is not only Rasmussen’s head pollster, he’s a fellow veteran and graduate of the US Naval Academy!

That is why President Trump’s recent executive order calling for the end of “no cash bail” is a great development but as with all of his executive orders, legislation must follow at the state and federal levels in order to make the changes permanent. The issue received renewed attention recently by the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee by Decarlos Brown Jr. Brown was free at the time of the attack, released on a written promise to appear in court, despite his history of violence and mental illness. My guest today to discuss this critically important issue is Texas Bail Attorney Ken Good. Ken received his law degree from Texas Tech School of Law, where he was a member of the Texas Tech Law Review. Mr. Good has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, along with numerous courts of appeals, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He is the author of “Good’s on Bail,” a practice guide created for bail industry professionals and is a Board Member of Professional Bondsmen of Texas. In addition, he has written numerous articles on the subject of bail reform, including, “What Successful Bail Reform Looks Like.”

I’ve made no secret that I am the Dad of an autistic son, who I homeschooled from junior high through high school graduation, and the challenges our family and he faced in various government and non-government systems and what we had to do just to figure how to help him. That is why I am very excited to do this show today about the Autistic Freedom Network and have its founder as my guest who you just saw. Why do we need this? I’ll let them tell you from their website: People on the autism spectrum have been forgotten for several decades while facing unbelievable abuse. Our struggle is worse than that of a third world country, from the highest rate of social isolation to the highest unemployment rate in the world, to an unbelievable rate of trans identification. The reasons for this struggle go far beyond autism, or other neurodivergences alone. We face inhumane treatment from our doctors, teachers, social workers, and politicians. All of them are using our diagnosis to justify the so-called treatment we’re put through and will cite misconceptions & outright lies to claim it’s all evidence based. To get a picture of what we’re dealing with, imagine if COVID lasted your whole childhood from infancy to coming of age. That should give an idea of what it’s like to grow up diagnosed autistic. For those who haven’t been diagnosed, the struggles of their neurodivergence go untreated, leading to loneliness and neglect, but they’re not usually subject to outright discrimination. In this tragic status quo, the Autistic Freedom Network was founded by Sven Scharpen, my guest today. The AFN vows to make sure that every person on the autism spectrum or with some other form of neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD OCD bipolarity etc.) is properly supported, treated, and has their biblical & constitutional rights respected first and foremost. No child deserves to grow up without a childhood, and we will end this hardship with the goals that theAFN has laid out.

And in an environment amid a lot of noise out there right now. Nefarious actors are stoking a fake MAGA civil war, the Trump Administration keeps chalking up win after win across all departments but there are clarion calls to do more, especially domestically. Affordability, a vibrant pro-American First governance and culture, and a national security focus on our own interests are all being demanded by voters, especially those 18 – 40 years old. My guest today is Daniel Betts, a lifelong Republican, proud Texan, and committed Christian running to represent Texas’ 21st Congressional District to bring his ideas to the US House to support these issues. A defense attorney for over 15 years, Daniel has fought to defend constitutional rights and stand up to government overreach. Raised with pro-life values and inspired by attending the March for Life as a child, he continues that fight today. Daniel and his wife, Piper, are raising their three young boys in the Hill Country, where they are active in their church and community. He knows how to stand his ground in the courtroom, and he’ll bring that resolve to Washington for Texas.

And it is not just in the Middle East but that is a good start for the new Pope to lay down the gauntlet to protect all Christians. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican amid Lebanon’s deepening economic and political crisis. The discussion focused on national stability, social hardship, and the Pope’s planned visit to Lebanon at the end of November. The Pope will also visit Turkey on this trip and celebrate the 1700th anniversary if the Council of Nicia. Lebanon is impacted greatly by the Syrian civil war because approximately 2 million Muslim refugees came there from Syria’s civil war. But the war on Christians is much wider than the Middle East. Even President Trump has threatened to use military force in Nigeria to stop the Islamist army of Boko Haram from committing genocide on its Christian population. But there could be another answer, funded by the Vatican. CDM Press President and CEO L. Todd Wood is my guest today and he has been reporting on the situation in Lebanon on the ground for many months. 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.

Let’s face it folks, we have allowed the chaotic society we currently live in to be created by our own decisions on who we have voted for repeatedly. A communist and Islamist will now be mayor of New York City. It is time for us to consider non-career politician candidates across the board. We must elect normal citizens who will put Americans first in the fight to protect liberty, tackle the huge crime problem created in large part by the mass illegal immigration in the last 20 years, and create an economy where a young man can get married, have children, and buy a house to live the American dream. My guest today is Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Mike Pierce, PhD – a decorated Army officer, veteran advocate, and Republican candidate for Congress in Illinois’ 11th District. Mike brings a unique blend of real-world military leadership and grassroots community experience. After serving 20 years in the U.S. Army (including combat deployment in Iraq) and later as a DOD contractor with U.S. European Command and AFRICOM, he continued to fight for veterans, founding organizations to help service members transition back into civilian life. His campaign was born from a 15-year fight with government bureaucracy, where he was denied promotion due to administrative errors — finally corrected in 2025. That personal battle against unaccountable systems shaped his mission: to restore accountability, defend liberty, and put government back in service to the people. Mike is also the author of The Overlord Effect: Emergent Leadership During Crisis, a historically based leadership review that draws on firsthand accounts of Normandy veterans and applies them to today’s challenges in the military, business, and organizational leadership.

Let me repeat what this British deep state operative just said: Trump is destroying the global order” “Trump is on Putin’s side” “Trump wants a deal, a pro Putin deal. Putting Ukraine and Europe in a vulnerable position” “I’m worried we’ll get a repeat of what he did in Gaza. He will declare peace and victory when it really isn’t a peace at all” “Trump is destroying so much of what we have build since WWII.” But President Trump says Putin wants to do business with the U.S. and make Russia prosperous, adding that he expects to end the war within a few months. I think he see’s China’s Xi through a similar lens and that is why he’s guarded when he discusses if the US will defend Taiwan if China attacks them. He wants to keep the peaceful pathway open in our relationship. The President Trump has proven that tariff leverage can be used by a president to stop or prevent wars, bring jobs and investment to the US, and to open overseas markets. My guest today to discuss all this is national security strategist David Pyne. David is a former U.S. Army combat arms and Headquarters staff officer, who oversaw armaments cooperation with the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas from 2000-2003. He currently serves as President of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security.

As you can see the Antifa terrorists have no hesitance attacking patriots even in a live camera interview. They had no fear of being held accountable, until now! Nick Sortor reported two days ago that after an intense pressure campaign, Portland Police have FORCED Antifa to dismantle their camp outside ICE Portland and A Sergeant declared laws will now be ENFORCED in the area of ICE Portland, including: public drinking, disorderly conduct, jaywalking, and more. This is great news, and even greater news is that citizens who live there appear to be safe on the streets, even at night, and will be able to sleep soundly now, instead of listening to loud noises and threats coming from the Antifa terrorists. My guest today is Chad Cation who went to Portland again and this time, organized patriots to peacefully evict Antifa from its sidewalk camp. He and I will discuss his work in Portland this week organizing with patriots to oppose these Antifa operations. Chad is a former US Navy Seabee, retired firefighter and first responder, Trump Campaign veterans’ coalition surrogate, GOP political activist and National Field Director of The Conservative Caucus.

Ten days ago the Military Times published an article stating that motions to honor Charlie Kirk by members of the Air Force Academy’s Association of Graduates had been withdrawn, implying in the article the withdrawal was under pressure from members opposing the idea presumably because they believed he was racist and controversial instead of the strong Christian patriot and man of faith he was. President Donald Trump appointed Kirk in March to join the academy’s Board of Visitors, a group that meets several times a year to provide advice on issues including curriculum, student morale and academic methods. When I saw the article, I reached out to a member of the AOG Board and got an immediate response: fake news! My guest today is retired Lt General Rod Bishop. General Bishop held many key positions throughout the United States Air Force where he commanded airmen at every operational level including two Squadrons, an Operations Group, an Airlift Wing, a Numbered Air Force and Air Command, Europe while also completing numerous strategic Air Force and Joint assignments throughout the Department of Defense. Chairman Emeritus of Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services and he is the Air Force Academy Association of Graduates Board Member that submitted the motions to honor Charlie Kirk.
