In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys discuss the current Government shutdown. They also look into a judge's decision to block Trump from deploying any National Guard under his command to Oregon. And they take a good look at things the Government should and should not be doing, including blowing up civilian ships without warning, and sending masked agents to pull people off the streets.

ls planned arson. Midnight Ignition and Multiple Points of Fire Suggest Design in the Great New York Fire Professor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution The fire started between midnight and 1:00 a.m. on September 21, 1776, near Whitehall Slip. One version suggests an accidental fire started by "careless drunkards" in a tavern. However, British observers on warships reported multiple, relatively simultaneous points of ignition (up to 20 points), strongly suggesting rebel saboteurs. Civilian governance had deteriorated; the fire chief feared rebel arson. Firefighting efforts were hindered because the city's bells had been removed for cannons, and equipment was in disarray.

Denmark will ban all civilian drone flights across the country over the coming days to ensure security as Copenhagen prepares to host a European Union summit. Mysterious drone sightings across Denmark since September 22 have prompted the closure of several airports, with Denmark hinting at possible Russian involvement, though Moscow denies the charge. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says people caught breaking the rules will face a fine - or up to two years in prison. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's talk about Hegseth, medals, warriors, and a random civilian....

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryThe number that stops us in our tracks: every 11 minutes, a life is lost to suicide in the United States. That reality fuels this deep, practical conversation with Tony DeMeio—coach, entrepreneur, media producer, and the founder of Helping Heroes USA—about what actually helps veterans, first responders, and their families when the weight feels unbearable. Tony didn't wear the uniform, and that became a strength. Decades of listening—on bikes, in workshops, and across thousands of interviews—taught him how to earn trust without trying to “one‑up” someone's story, and how compassion plus attention can interrupt a deadly spiral.We trace Tony's winding path from UCLA's Rose Bowl win to building Duraflex Sports Products and beyond, and we land where his work matters most: suicide prevention strategies anyone can learn and use. You'll hear how isolation quietly sets the stage, why warning signs like giving away cherished items or sudden financial organizing can signal acute risk, and how access to firearms changes outcomes. We get specific about reducing means, rallying the right mix of friends and peers, and starting tough conversations with presence instead of judgment. Tony also shares how faith and a one‑day‑at‑a‑time mindset help people move through moments that feel impossible, and why the “victim–persecutor–rescuer” loop keeps so many stuck.If you've ever thought “I don't know what to say,” this episode offers a better script—and the confidence to use it. We talk about building “support angels,” recognizing risk factors like grief, job loss, divorce, and PTSD, and creating simple, reliable routines that pull people out of isolation. Our goal is clear: fewer families haunted by “If I had only known.” Explore free workshops and resources at helpingheroesusa.org and SilentBattle.life, share this with someone who checks in on others, and help us grow a community that listens first.

According to Find Your Dream Job guest Angie Condon, one of the biggest challenges is letting go of rank structures and moving from a team-first mindset to advocating for your own career growth. Angie highlights common mistakes veterans make when entering the civilian job market, including not preparing early enough, relying on military hierarchy in corporate settings, and struggling to clearly communicate their value to employers. Her advice is to start your job search at least a year before leaving the military, take advantage of transition assistance programs, and connect with veteran-focused employee resource groups. Angie also stresses the importance of finding an employer whose values align with your own. Veterans may need to accept an initial step down in responsibility, but their strong leadership skills, reliability, and discipline often set them up for rapid advancement. With the right approach, Angie says, veterans can turn their military experience into a powerful advantage — and often rise more quickly than their civilian peers.

Would our troops be used to quell demonstrations in the United States with force? Seeing crowds in Washington, D.C., during the George Floyd riots in 2020, Trump is reported to have asked "Can't we just shoot them?"  How do we answer the question as to whether the current administration will have U.S. troops fire on the crowds? We will look at the Constitution, especially the 10th Amendment, the Insurrection Act of 1807, and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. We will review some history where the military has been used domestically to safeguard civil rights marchers, intervene when requested by governors during violent riots, to stop the Bonus March on Washington in 1932, and to imprison Japanese civilians during World War II. We will also define who is in today's military, where do they come from, how do they line up politically—and would they follow an illegal order and fire on unarmed civilian demonstrators or support a government coup? This is concerning, says Dr. Michael Baker, given the militarization of ICE agents and the deployment of National Guard troops and the Marines to Los Angeles for specious reasons. About the Speaker Dr. Michael Baker recently retired from a 40-year career in general, vascular and trauma surgery. He also served 30 years in the uniform of his country and retired with the rank of Rear Admiral and has numerous kudos, including 3 Legion of Merit Awards, the Combat Action Ribbon, and River and Coastal Patrol Officer-in-Charge warfare pin.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe staggering scale of World War II's devastation remains difficult to comprehend even decades later. In just six years and one day, humanity's deadliest conflict claimed between 60-65 million lives—roughly 3% of the world's 1939 population and more deaths than occurred in three centuries of warfare combined.Drawing from Victor Davis Hanson's masterful "The Second World Wars," this episode explores the uncomfortable truth that most Americans overlook: approximately 40 million of these deaths were Chinese and Russian civilians killed by German and Japanese forces. For the first time in history, a major war saw civilian casualties vastly outnumber military deaths, as populations became legitimate targets for elimination under the cloak of conflict.What made this war uniquely lethal? Seven critical factors converged: a larger global population, industrially advanced combatants, unprecedented technological lethality, totalitarian ideologies that justified mass killing, military technology favoring offense over defense, the war's extended duration, and the deliberate targeting of civilian populations. Beyond combat, over 20 million people starved to death or perished from treatable illnesses. The capitulation of trapped armies sent approximately 10 million into prisoner-of-war camps, where more than half died—deaths often forgotten in conventional accounts.At its core, this catastrophic human toll stemmed from the fundamental failure to see others as fellow humans deserving dignity. Perhaps most chilling was what Hanson identifies as the "willful blindness" and "general indifference" that enabled atrocities on an industrial scale. As Jews disappeared from communities across Europe, most neighbors chose not to question how or where they had gone.Understanding this history isn't merely academic—it serves as a vital reminder of our fallen human nature's darker potential and how quickly radical, dehumanizing ideologies can create hell on earth. Take time today to remember, to learn from history, and to recognize the profound importance of viewing every person as your neighbor.Key Points from the Episode:• Most Americans fail to understand that 40 million of the 60 million deaths were Chinese and Russian civilian casualties• Seven factors made WWII uniquely devastating, including population size, technological advances, and ideological extremism• For the first time in history, civilian fatalities far outnumbered military deaths in a major conflict• The war's horrors stemmed from dehumanization and widespread indifference to the fate of targeted groups• Over 20 million people starved to death or died from treatable illnesses during the conflict• Of the 10 million sent to prisoner-of-war camps, more than half perishedLet us read history and always remember. We owe it to generations past to understand the philosophies that led to these horrific killings, and to keep fighting the good fight.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

It's Tuesday, September 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims kill and injure Christian farmers On August 27th, when five Nigerian Christians went to check on their farms  located in Bauchi State, they found Fulani Muslim herdsmen grazing their cattle on the land owned by the Christians.  The argument led to the Muslims killing a Christian farmer and wounding three others, reports Morning Star News. Rev. Samson Habila, local chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said, “We solicit that we all go on our knees for prayers to our loving God to bring this conflict to a swift end for the betterment of our land and people.” In a separate incident on the same day, Muslim herdsmen assaulted two Christian women and a teenager who were on their way back from their farm. Naomi Sabo, was cut on her hand with a machete, her teenage son was cut with a machete, and a third victim, another Christian woman, had her ear cut off by the Muslims. In a span of two weeks in late August, hundreds of Nigerian Christian farmers lost their crops to Muslim Fulani herdsmen who took their cattle to graze on them. According to Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List, Nigeria is the 7th most dangerous country on Earth for Christians. Of the 4,476 Christians killed for their faith worldwide during the reporting period, 3,100 of those Christians -- or 69% -- lived in Nigeria. Russia launched 800 drones against Ukraine Russia has stepped up its drone attacks on Ukraine, in its largest salvo since the beginning of the war, reports KGOU Radio. The aggressor launched 800 drones over the weekend — hitting the government building in Kyiv for the first time. Japanese Prime Minister resigns Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has announced his resignation.   Japan's economy is still hurting. The nation's real Gross Domestic Product is just now recovering to 2019 levels, after an extended 5-year recession. Japan's national debt is the highest in the world, at 255% of GDP.   The Japanese government's proposed budget for 2026 represents another 8% increase, year over year.  Indeed, 27% of the budget is set aside just to service the nation's debt. G7 vs BRICS The Group of 7 or “G7” nations includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.  BRICS is now recognized as the competing force opposing the G7 nations. BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. In a BRICS summit, spearheaded by Brazil's socialist president, Luiz Lula, the mostly southern and eastern world powers worked on what they called “joint responses to tariffs and sanctions under the Trump administration and discussions on a multipolar world order.” Thousands of Brazilian protestors object to trial of Jair Bolsonaro Tens of thousands of Brazilians have taken the streets over in the last week, protesting the trial of Brazil's former president, Jair Bolsonaro, reports the Associated Press. He is facing 46 years in prison for allegedly supporting an attempt to overturn the 2022 election. Plus, Bolsonaro's opponents also claim that he encouraged a protest on January 8, 2023 that resulted in several millions of dollars of damage to the capital building. Brazil's Supreme Court is expecting to sentence the former president later this week. Bolsonaro was a pro-life president, and opposed homosexual marriage for his country. The current president, Luiz Lula, has committed himself to the pro-abortion and LGBTQ agenda for the nation since his election in 2022. 47% of Brazilians receive welfare In a related story, 47% of Brazilians receive a welfare check from the government. The most welfare dependent states are in the north and northeast of the country. These twelve states record more welfare recipients than jobs among their residents. The socialist candidate in the last election, Lula de Silva, won 10 out of 12 of these states. He only won the votes with three other states in the election. God is sovereign over all. Jesus told Pontius Pilate, “You would have no authority over Me at all unless it had been given you from above.” Company that profits from porn fined $5 million The Canadian company Aylo has been fined $5 million by the US Federal Trade Commission for portraying certain egregious forms of sexual sin on its websites (which include PornHub).   This amounts to a slap on the wrist for a company operating on an estimated $700 million of annual income. That's about 0.7%. The Federal Trade Commission has charged the company with allowing non-consensual and child-abuse related material on its websites. Democrats blocking all Trump's civilian nominees The U.S. government has come to loggerheads. Thus far, not a single Trump civilian nominee has been confirmed by a voice vote through the US Senate — due to Democrat filibusters. That's the first time this has occurred in the nation's government in a century. That compares to 65% of Trump's nominees clearing the Senate by voice vote in his first term and 57% of Joe Biden's nominees confirmed by voice vote.   GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune is considering pulling the nuclear option, or a rule change, to speed up the approval process, according to the Daily Caller. Few Americans, Christians included, believe we are sinful American Christians are pretty much agreed on this statement: “Sin is real, but people are basically good at heart.” That according to the latest George Barna survey. The pollsters discovered that 82% of Catholics and 70% of self-identified born-again Christians believe in “The basic goodness of humanity.” And only 57% of Catholics and 85% of self-identified born again Christians believe Romans 3:23 — that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”  Meryl Streep to voice Aslan in new “Chronicles of Narnia” And finally, Netflix plans to release the next movie installment of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia story in November of 2026. Filming began last month which included a well-publicized street chase of Jadis, “the White Witch” last weekend. Brace yourself. Greta Gerwig, best known for directing the feminist hit film “Barbie” released in 2023, is directing this next Narnia release. Not surprisingly, Meryl Streep is slated to voice Aslan.  (The character of Aslan, Lewis's Lion, is meant as a personification of Jesus Christ). Movieguide, the Christian ministry led by founder Ted Baehr, calls this “a dangerous cultural shift,” and has initiated a petition to "respect the theological foundation of the story.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Jim Hake, founder of Spirit of America, joins The Burn Bag to discuss why civilians matter in modern national security—and how his organization is filling gaps government can't. A Silicon Valley entrepreneur turned national security innovator, Jim founded Spirit of America after 9/11 to bring a whole-of-society approach to U.S. missions overseas.In this conversation, Jim breaks down why he believes the U.S. has been “fighting with one hand tied behind its back,” what it means to be not neutral in global competition, and how Spirit of America became the only nonprofit with a formal partnership with the Department of Defense. We explore how his team works alongside U.S. troops and diplomats in places like Ukraine and Taiwan, strengthening trust, building resilience, and shaping outcomes in the gray zone.Jim and A'ndre reflect on where civilian support fits in a new era of strategic competition—and what it says about America's ability to lead without uniformed force.

This week on Brush with Britt, I sit down with Alana Hall, MHA, RDH, a former Army Preventive Dentistry Specialist turned registered dental hygienist, to unpack why adopting military-style preventive models is not the answer to our hygiene workforce shortage.Drawing from her nine years of military service and 15 years across clinical, academic, and civilian care, Alana shares firsthand what the Army model was designed to do and why it can't be translated into civilian dentistry without putting patients at risk.We cover:-The real mission of military dentistry (battlefield readiness, not lifelong prevention)-Why the “scaling assistant” approach fails to deliver comprehensive, evidence-based care-Ethical and legal risks of lowering standards -How underserved populations suffer most when shortcuts replace preventionThis episode is a must-listen for hygienists, dentists, and anyone passionate about preserving the integrity of preventive care. Because all patients deserve comprehensive, high-quality dentistry that protects lifelong health.

The Modern Minuteman concept is still being fleshed out and developed with lots of considerations when it comes to modern warfare. Among the many details to establish has been the apparent need for weapon platforms that can increase engagement tempo and firepower offering tactical options for small units and teams. Having a platform available that can offer "flip-the-script" capability has been hard to attain due to laws and lack of demand, but times have changed. Looking back at history and at fighting philosophies that were used to great effect, the "Auto Rifle" platform quickly emerges. To help explore this topic further and to truly breakdown the Auto Rifle and how it is attainable in topday's world, Jacob and Stephen sit down with Cody of Red Right Hand LLC. In this episode, Cody talks about the Auto Rifle purpose and it's role within small unit fighting philosophies as well as highlighting the AR pattern Auto Rifle / LMG uppers that his company developes. We (the DDS Crew) have been extensivley testing these platforms and have been highly impressed by the capability that they offer.   WHERE TO FIND RRH LLC: Website Instagram YouTube   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

When we think about Revolutionary War ancestors, we usually picture them in uniform—standing guard at a winter camp, marching along a dusty road, or writing letters home with inky quills and weary hands. We honor their service. We may even know where they fought and under which command. But what happened after they stacked their muskets and went home? That's a story worth telling. Because that's where the rest of their life began...

Marine Corps Veteran Roger Michael Hall pulls no punches in this episode of Urban Valor. From 2017–2022, Roger served as an infantry mortarman (0341) — but this isn't the recruiting poster version of the Corps. This is the truth about months living on a Navy ship, crammed into tight berthing spaces, working long hours, and finding ways to stay sane in a floating steel city.Roger shares it all: wild overseas port calls, boot camp fights, grueling Mountain Warfare training, and the mental grind of deployment life at sea with hundreds of Marines shoulder-to-shoulder. He opens up about the moments that made him question why he joined — and the experiences that shaped who he is today.If you've ever wondered what Marine Corps life aboard a Navy ship is really like, this is the story no one tells!
