The Rob Maness Show

We do, we love each and every American, and we love all those who seek freedom and prosperity in other countries. We don’t see a red and blue America, only a red, white and blue America. When we volunteered for military service, we did so, knowing we were writing a blank check to you, our countrymen. Many of us come from generational service families, some with service all the way back to 1775, the beginnings of the continental Army, Navy, and Marine Corp, by the way the Marines turned 249 years old yesterday born at Tunn Tavern. But also, many of us are first generation Americans, and some have not even gained citizenship yet, but we will because we have offered our last full measure of devotion if necessary, on battlefields, on the seas, and in the air, just as our predecessors did. We love you all, and we do what we do, both in and out of uniform, to preserve your liberty. We’ll discuss this all today with two great guests. My first guest today is a regular contributor to this show, a retired US Navy commander, author, college professor, former senior DHS official, and former candidate for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional district seat Dr Randy Arrington. My second guest will be Marine veteran Sean George of Nebraska, those on social media will know him as BeaderVet. I know him as a friend and fellow veteran and a political activism machine.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Elon Musk has been named by President – Elect Trump to lead an effort called the Department of government efficiency or DOGE that could save upward of $2 Trillion dollars according to statements he as made. The idea is not new, in fact state auditors focus on saving our tax dollars by identifying efficiency opportunities and rooting out government corruption. My home state’s auditor just released a new report on Mississippi’s state government called Project Momentum that identifies missions in savings, and he is my guest today to discuss the report, the DOGE potential, his new book, and we’ll also discuss the federal special prosecutor lawfare cases against President Trump and their fate! Shad White is the State Auditor of Mississippi. During his tenure, the auditor’s office has uncovered more waste, fraud, and abuse than any other time in state history and he highlights explosive details in his new book, Mississippi Swindle. Shad is also a prolific writer on fraud, and his work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Hill, and other publications. He is a certified fraud examiner, a National Guardsmen, and holds degrees from Harvard Law, the University of Oxford where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar, and the University of Mississippi.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

God gave us an opportunity last night. A chance to set the United States government on a road to healthy budgets, economic prosperity again, and a national security policy that achievs peace through strength without being involved in endless wars and killing our kids needlessly. America lives on. That is what I see as our chance to do it. Of course, the Marxists in the media and government are apoplectic and it is humorous. We’re going to discuss the seriousness of the our victory today and laugh at the meltdowns coming out of the lying regime propaganda media so sit back, enjoy the show, and be ready to join the discussion!  Thanks for reading 🇺🇸Colonel's Brief!

Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson served on the National Coordinating Committee of a Communist Party USA front the called the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, which was led by leading Party members Angela Davis and Charlene Mitchell. He is the unethical chairman of the illegal January 6th select committee and as you just saw is the author of legislation to remove secret service protection from President Trump. And he has a Republican opponent that is endorsed by every major republican office holder in the state, from Governor Reeves to auditor Shad White! My guest today is that Republican opponent, Ron Eller. Ron is an American patriot with twenty years of active duty military service. He retired as a Captain. Ron’s journey in public service started when he joined the Army as a “Combat Medic. Ron won awards such as Command Soldier of the Year but that wasn’t good enough, he eventually climbed the ranks to Warrant Officer and finally to Commissioned Officer due to his superior service to our country. After his military retirement Ron founded a manufacturing business and was an integral part of establishing the cardiac surgery program in Vicksburg Mississippi. He continues his work in cardiac and thoracic surgery in one of the premier surgical programs in the state, at St. Dominic’s Hospital. Ron feels he cannot standby on the sidelines while career politicians seek to radically change the fabric of America with one-party rule. Hence, Ron feels called to continue to stand by the oath he took to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is why he is running for Congress in the 2nd Congressional District of Mississippi.

I flew over every state of this nation for three decades as a military officer and I never saw red states or blue states, only red, white, and blue states. I’ve seen Americans spill their blood for America with my own eyes. Americans of every race, creed, or whatever else one wants to identify them by and the only color of that blood is red. Their blood is the physical manifestation of the last full measure of devotion millions of Americans have given freely for us, this nation, the greatest gift God and mankind have ever given to humanity. We did that because we were able to put aside our differences and unite around one set of core ideas: the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. On October 27th 2024, what we witnessed, and tens of thousands of Americans attended, was representative of the millions of us that are left in this country who will still sacrifice our very lives, our sacred honor, and our fortunes to preserve those values and this country for our children and grandchildren. The leftist and establishment authoritarians currently holding power in our government chose to call us all Nazis because of the rally in Madison Square Garden because they have chosen a path that is indefensible in civil discourse. We will fight them; we must fight them with every tool at our disposal. This show is one of those tools because we present the truth about the Americans that still believe and will continue to do so until I am unable to speak into this microphone. To help us tell some truth today we’ve got Mr Im Fired Up, former US Navy Seabee, firefighter, podcaster and a true South Carolina American Chad Caton with us!

Why is the Air National Guard leadership conducting a war against dedicated and patriotic servicemembers medical benefits? That clip from CBS is almost a year old and multiple investigations are being conducted trying to resolve the issue but not much success is happening. Friend of the show journalist J.M. Phelps wrote for the GateWay Pundit recently that according to an investigation by Scripps News, “In the last couple of years, hundreds of injured and sick Air National Guard members have filed claims for medical care and pay that get approved by local commanders and then denied by national headquarters.” Today, we will show you the truth about what is happening to these servicemembers and their families. The impacts of this devastating policy are dramatically damaging to morale and our national security. Luckily, we have an organization focusing on setting things right, and trust me, our friends over at USJAG won’t rest until they do. My guest today is Jeremy Sorenson. Jeremy enlisted in the Air National Guard in 1999, serving initially as a firefighter. He then earned his commission and served as a fighter pilot, flying the F-16 and A-10 on multiple combat deployments. Jeremy is currently the Director, Guard and Reserve Affairs for Uniformed Services Justice and Advocacy Group (USJAG).

That was a disgusting and in my opinion unlawful statement by Vice President Kamal Harris. Here is what Robert Kennedy Jr said about it: “This is the kind of inflammatory poison that divides our nation and inspires assassins. It’s particularly ironic since Biden/Harris have just pushed through DoD Directive 5240.01 giving the Pentagon power — for the first time in history — to use lethal force to kill Americans on U.S. soil who protest government policies. If you want to understand a politician, the words from her mouth have little relevance. Look at her feet.” I said it in answer to a question yesterday, do not trust what a politician says, even me, but look at what we do, and this is a classic example of the truth of that philosophy. I intended to devote this episode entirely to RFK Jr’s Make America Healthy Again program that Donald Trump has asked him to create but we will also be talking about this, and all the other media lies from the last 24 hours created by the left’s hit campaign. Mr. Trump has gone from “literally Hitler” again, to racist against Mexican heritage veterans and families, to rapist again according to the regime media that hides the truth from you and me. Their propaganda is failing because we the people are doing our own investigative journalism now on multiple platforms that support free speech. My guest today is the CEO of one of those platforms and its called Pickax. Jeff Dornik is also an author, podcast host and an independent media network creator.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

The Biden administration is completely infiltrated, and has been for some time, with spies and operatives of Iran. Yes, the country who’s leader call us the great Satan, That is why Israel’s war planning was leaked to the media and why no one should trust us with any operational information aimed at taking on Iran’s Mullahs and their forces arrayed throughout the Middle East. That is why I applaud Israel’s IDF telling the people of Lebanon critical information they can take action on like where Nasrallah’s gold is located and exposing UNIFIL forces for their betrayals of the peace mission they are assigned to conduct in Southern Lebanon! What should Israel’s next steps in its own defense be since they took out the evil architect of the October 7 atrocities, Sinwar? My guest today to discuss all this is Veteran TV News Producer, Columnist, Host of The Analyst Substack, and Former Diplomat Jake Novak.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Listen to this from an October 12 Wall Street Journal report about a series of incidents at Langley AFB Virginia over a 17 day period in December of 2023: U.S. Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly wasn’t sure what to make of reports that a suspicious fleet of unidentified aircraft had been flying over Langley Air Force Base on Virginia’s shoreline. Kelly, a decorated senior commander at the base, got on a squadron rooftop to see for himself. He joined a handful of other officers responsible for a clutch of the nation’s most advanced jet fighters, including F-22 Raptors. For several nights, military personnel had reported a mysterious breach of restricted airspace over a stretch of land that has one of the largest concentrations of national-security facilities in the U.S. The show usually starts 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, another senior leader told Kelly. The first drone arrived shortly. Kelly, a career fighter pilot, estimated it was roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Other drones followed, one by one, sounding in the distance like a parade of lawn mowers. The drones headed south, across Chesapeake Bay, toward Norfolk, Va., and over an area that includes the home base for the Navy’s SEAL Team Six and Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port. The problem? No defense was mounted even though the most senior officers on the ground knew about this series of incidents. White house meetings were held for weeks, with appointees, civil servants, and military officers talking a lot, but not mounting an adequate defense of America’s premier advanced fighter base, a SEAL Team training base, the Atlantic Fleet’s Naval Air Station full of fighter and attack jets and the list goes on and on. America’s military problem is two-fold, leadership and lack of political will, and those are nation-ending problems folks. As a former commander responsible for two high value bases during my service, I have many, many questions and all of you should too. Americans are rightly questioning all of our institutions responsible for defending us, from election security, the border, and now our military bases at home. Former Senior DOD official, retired Army Colonel, and author John Mills is back with us today to discuss all this and more.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.
