#140 Eli Crane & Tim Burchett - Two Things All Americans Want: Accountability and Transparency

In this gripping episode of SRS, we dive into the raw realities of American politics with special guests Congressman Tim Burchett (TN) and Congressman Eli Crane (AZ). Together, they unpack the Secret Service's failure to adequately protect former President Donald Trump and the conspiracies surrounding these incidents. They also explore the dark undercurrents of government corruption and how hidden agendas manipulate the corridors of power, impacting policy decisions and American lives alike. The congressmen also pull back the curtain on what really happens behind closed doors in Congress, exposing the unexpected alliances, the bitter rivalries, and the influence of special interests shaping key legislation. With firsthand insights and candid commentary, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking an unfiltered look at the inner workings of government—and the challenges of maintaining transparency and accountability in today’s political landscape.

#174 Joshua Mast - U.S. Marine's Message to President Donald Trump

Major Joshua Mast, a U.S. Marine Corps officer, gained attention for his efforts to adopt an Afghan war orphan. Mast initiated adoption proceedings for a baby girl found on an Afghan battlefield in 2019. His actions, motivated by a desire to ensure the child's safety, led to a complex legal battle involving the Department of Justice and the State Department. In October 2024, a military board substantiated misconduct allegations against Mast but declined to separate him from service. The board found that while Mast acted in a way “unbecoming an officer”, his actions did not warrant dismissal from the Marine Corps. Mast, now 41 and living in Hampstead, North Carolina with his wife Stephanie, continues to advocate for the child's well-being.

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 2/24/25

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, it’s amazing that any company would put Joy Reid on the air. She’s very dangerous and she finally got fired from MSNBC. The fact that she held a position with a massive company is an embarrassment. Also, congratulations to Dan Bongino on his very important post – Deputy FBI Director. It’s a hands-on position, and no one is better suited for this role. There’s no better team than FBI Director Kash Patel and Bongino. They are exactly what’s needed: a no-nonsense approach to law and order. Later, Generals shouldn’t assume they have lifetime roles, and those pushing personal agendas should be removed, as President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are doing by eliminating radical left policies that have undermined the military. This cleanup seems to be a recurring task for Republican presidents after Democratic ones, reflecting our support and honor for the military. A President needs loyalty to his public agenda, not his personal one. Afterward, what’s wrong with receiving an e-mail asking ‘what did you do last week?’ It’s a massive bureaucracy and we need to know who you are and what you’re doing. DOGE is a threat to the government within the government. Finally, you might believe you own your home, but if you fail to pay property taxes, the government has the power to seize it. The government determines the tax amount, and challenging this decision can feel nearly impossible. There’s something fundamentally unfair about this system. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 2/21/25

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, corporate media isn’t dead yet but it’s not what it used to be. It’s filled with propaganda and pseudo-events. There are aggregator sites like Mediaite that don’t have a single clip about the horrors in Israel breaking every hour, but lots of Ukraine-Russia etc. Also, there’s a small percentage of people in America who support Putin, Putinoids, - Trump is not one of them despite the media’s efforts. The issue with Putin and Russia extends beyond Ukraine, but too often, people fail to see the bigger picture. Putin has openly talked about ambitions that reach far beyond Ukraine's borders. Later, Trump’s minerals strategy is a stroke of genius. Ukraine holds trillions in untapped mineral wealth, a prize Russia is desperate to claim. Rather than simply funneling cash into Ukraine, Trump suggests a smarter play: partner with Ukraine through deals that bring American companies in to mine and process these resources. A mutually beneficial financial arrangement could be struck, fueling Ukraine’s reconstruction while securing vital metals and minerals for the U.S.—and keeping them away from Russia. This approach outshines the Marshall Plan, offering more than just aid—it’s a strategic win. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
