You all know the story, companies that are woke and don’t like American values, all while cornering the markets funneling us into using their services. We deserve better and that is why entrepreneurs are starting up companies like the one we’re training you about today. But these new startups are different, they have a real mission to support Americans and the values we all believe in like the Second Amendment and the freedom to think and speak what we believe without fear of things like being debanked! They’re also different because of who is founding them. 14BRAVO is one of those revolutionary technology companies. They provide industry leading payment processing and business technology solutions to businesses of all sizes and industries. The company is proudly founded by law enforcement officers and payment industry executives. Their mission is to support the businesses that power our communities while giving back to organizations that serve our nation’s first responders, veterans and their families, including our nation’s working K-9’s who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting. My guest today 14BRAVO CEO and Founder Sergeant Jason Rothermund (Ret.) is a decorated former law enforcement officer, political advocate, and fintech entrepreneur. From leading Lexington’s elite Canine Unit to shaping Kentucky’s first Gang Bill and now building 14BRAVO to support America’s law enforcement, veterans, and working dog communities, Jason brings powerful stories of service, leadership, and innovation.

The dramatic events the world witnessed at Elmendorf AFB finally opened the door to a real and lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine, thanks to only one man, President Trump. I have said many times that I will know the war can end only if the President meets one on one with President Putin. That just happened and as I speak to you now, the Ukraine President and European leaders are meeting with the President in Washington to see if they can accept a deal. Are we there yet? I doubt it but we have finally started for real. Unfortunately, there are many things working against peace, like the stupid media narrative pushers, the warmonger politicians, and the simple impact of the massive inertia of war that is extremely difficult to overcome, even when the warring parties want it to end. 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.

The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that you have one. We are fortunate we now have a Commander-in-Chief and Secretary of Defense who fully see the problems caused by wokeism in all its forms in our armed forces. The distractions of these unnecessary policies harm readiness, recruiting, and the overall ability of our nation to defeat our enemies in war. We have many enemies. We need a DOD focused only on how to strengthen defense systems with the right strategies and with the best people, regardless of the color of their skin or any other difference. Warfighting lethality that deters wars, that is the mission, and we now have a team focused on developing the strategy and policies necessary to achieve that. But DOD is the most massive organization and it will take time and extreme determination to find and eliminate every woke policy and the individuals resisting the changes. My guest today to discuss this is The Claremont Institute’s Will Thibeau. Will is an Army Ranger veteran and Director of The American Military Project, focusing on these issues!

The Medical Freedom Movement scored huge victories leading up to this month’s settlement from the initial injunction stopping the vax mandate in 2021 through this one in 2023, when a federal court sided with 8,500 federal employees in their suit against the Biden administration's unconstitutional vax mandate! But that wasn’t the end of the fight, the case kept going, and the breaking news is that the DOJ was forced to settle with Feds for Freedom just last week. The results of the settlement are the big story today! We have the Executive Director of Feds for Freedom with us right now, and one of the co-founders Jim Erdman (a US Army Veteran) later in the show, to discuss the case, what the settlement does, and what it means for the future of the federal employees they represent and of medical mandates! Stephanie is The Feds podcast host and Executive Director of Feds For Freedom. She is a mom of three and wife to a DOD civilian. Stephanie received her master’s at New England Conservatory in Boston and has performed on many opera stages. She taught voice and piano at local studios until she began homeschooling her own children.

Liberals are devolving into a fit of hysteria over Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s decision to re-install a memorial known as the “Reconciliation Monument” in Arlington National Cemetery that was removed in 2023. But that narrative misses the point and risks erasing a critical moment in our nation’s past. Restoring the Reconciliation Monument isn’t about romanticizing the Confederacy – it’s about preserving a complex chapter of American history, fostering true national unity, and rejecting the impulse to sanitize our story. Far from wrong, this move is a principled stand against historical amnesia. Erected in 1914, the Reconciliation Monument was commissioned as a deliberate symbol of healing after the Civil War. President William Howard Taft approved its placement in Arlington, where nearly 500 Confederate soldiers, sailors, and civilians are buried in Section 16. Its designer, Moses Jacob Ezekiel, a Jewish Confederate veteran, intended it to represent the reunification of a divided nation. The frieze depicts scenes of Southern life, including Black figures, which detractors interpret as glorifying slavery. My guest today is one of the litigants who took Secretary of Defense Loyd Austin to court to first stop and now restore the monument. Retired U.S. Army LtCol Ed Kennedy, Jr. enlisted in the Army in 1971 as an infantryman. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1976, retiring in 1997. As an infantry officer, he held a variety of command and staff positions, ending his active-duty career as an assistant professor in the history department of the US Army Command and General Staff College.

The confirmation that the Intelligence Community Assessment establishing Russian Collusion narrative was directed by Barak Obama and intentionally painted a false story doesn’t really surprise the average American. But the interesting thing we’re seeing are John Brennan and James Clapper doubling down on their lies, with the media supporting them and ignoring the facts. It is as if they think they still have enough control of the vast 4th branch of government in our country that they are invulnerable to any attempts to hold them truly accountable. And that is a dangerous situation for all of us in the near term, but especially for the future of the Republic. We must get control of institutions in the intelligence community, primarily the CIA and the FBI to get the unelected resistors operating the Federal government under the control of the elected President but is it possible? These are the important questions that must be answered. My guest today is retired CIA Officer Sam Faddis to help give us insight into what happened and what can be done to fix it. Sam served in Near East and South Asia, is an author, commentator, Senior Editor of AND Magazine on Substack, and a public speaker.

How did the Clinton campaign basically trick or work with members of the intelligence services to launch this hoax? That is a good question, but this was more than a hoax. It was a wide conspiracy to use all the instruments of government to destroy a duly elected president and obstruct his execution of the law of our land faithfully, as the presidential oath demands. Hillary Clinton is widely known for criminal activity throughout her political life but has never been held accountable under our laws, will this be the time and place of justice for the American people regarding the Clintons, with a grand jury being convened about Russiagate? My guest today to discuss all this is the man that carried the nuclear football for President Bill Clinton, and he is intimately familiar with Hillary’s nefarious ways. Retired Lt Colonel Buzz Patterson is a former Air Force pilot, a popular speaker, a RedState Columnist, and bestselling author. He dares to speak the truth in his books Dereliction of Duty, Reckless Disregard, War Crimes, and Conduct Unbecoming. He’s currently writing his fifth book about the Biden Pentagon.

Woke is not dead, it’s resurgent in America, with a Communist Democrat nominee Mayoral Candidate in New York City, the Los Angeles riots, and the No Kings protests in most US cities begs the question: are we are merely entering the next phase of manufactured Marxist social and political upheaval generated by the Democrat Party and the radical left in America? It is happening before your very eyes. Major leftist political actors such as AOC and Elizabeth Warren are now all in on Democrat Socialism/Communism. I say communism because only communists have things like government ownership of grocery stores as policy positions. Government command economics schemes never work and only generate starvation and massive food lines. But Warren says New York’s communist nominee is the model for the rest of America. We must continue to fight this virus, the woke mind virus, until its total eradication from every institution, but especially from our schools as they are the incubator for this rising tyranny. Author TS Dixon is my guest today to discuss the mind viruses afflicting America. He is an American husband, father and businessman living in Southwest Florida. After witnessing the weaponization of government and the justice system against Trump and the Conservative movement, Dixon decided he had to do more to get involved. He released his debut book "The Woke Mind Viruses: Wokeism, Liberalism, Leftism, Globalism" The Mind Plagues destroying Western Civilization and how to stop them earlier this year, and recently released the audiobook version .

In late July, former Trump National Security Advisor Lt Gen Mike Flynn, the Chairman of the Gold Institute for International Strategy held a two-day meeting to develop a new proposed national security strategy. In his opening letter of the draft document, he writes “ My fellow Americans, the United States now confronts a threat of unprecedented character, scope, and immediacy. In an earlier era, President John F. Kennedy described a long twilight struggle between freedom and authoritarianism, between democratic self-government and centralized control. That contest, once defined by geopolitical confrontation abroad, has entered a new and more insidious phase. Today, the principal strain on the American Republic arises not from foreign shores, but from within our borders.” And appropriately the document itself states “The purpose of this National Security Strategy is to identify three strategically significant but neglected threats and opportunities that directly impact U.S. national security long-term. The first is an “uncomfortable truth” for much of official Washington. America’s authoritarian adversaries have infiltrated and subverted from within every key American government agency and institution. This is not a new phenomenon, but the current depth, breadth, and ferocity of such is unprecedented.” My guest today attended the conference and is here to discuss some of the challenges America faces in this crucial period. Chad Caton is former US Navy Seabee, retired firefighter and first responder, Trump veterans’ coalition member, GOP political activist and National Field Director of The Conservative Caucus.

When the history of the four years of the Biden administration is finally written, it will be a riveting story of government propaganda, disinformation campaigns supported by the corporate media, the infiltration of Maoist Marxism of every American institution, and the recognition that our education system from pre-k to graduate schools are the problem that enabled it all. Today, I’ll be talking Jeremy Ryan Slate about what we are seeing, and how, with the re-election of the Trump administration, we might just have a chance to defeat these efforts to destroy freedom and prosperity. Jeremy is the host of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, which studies the highest performers in the world. He studied literature at Oxford University, as well as holding a master’s in early Roman Empire Propaganda from Seton Hall University. His podcast was named the #1 Podcast to Listen To by INC Magazine, as well as Top 40 Under 40 by Podcast Magazine.
