He’s President now. Again. And he’s wasting no time. With national security and the debate over the Hegseth nomination for Secretary of Defense front and center, this show is rising to meet this trying and perilous moment. In the hard-hitting and independent way that defines this show.

It's a 30 minute download of all the things you need to know, without the corporate and partisan spin, and with a healthy dose of good patriotism and a dash of inspiration.
