Do you really believe there will be a fair and honest election process in November 2026? "We the People" ask: Is it time to bring in the Marines and call out martial law to clean up the remnants of past and present domestic and foreign agents? Humanity's inhumane experiments on American families have left most of us facing financial hardships...

Guest Host Terry Slatic & Nick Richardson In August 1950, Truman was personally answering correspondence when he received yet another letter advocating that the Marine Corps receive independent representation on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The letter came from Republican Congressman Gordon L. McDonough of California. The Marine Corps University document confirms that Truman did in fact call the Marines "the Navy's police force" and compare their advocates to a powerful propaganda machine. However, it also preserves his little-remembered follow-up letter, in which he apologized for his wording, praised the Marines' combat record, and reaffirmed his support for maintaining the Marine Corps as a distinct and vital branch of the U.S. military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotions of four Army officers who had been selected for promotion to brigadier general (one-star rank), according to reporting by The Hill cited by NewsNation. The move is the latest in a series of Pentagon personnel decisions that have generated controversy inside military and political circles.

Title: Food: The Ultimate Messenger  In this episode, we're looking at a warming world through a lens you may not expect: your dinner plate. Our guest is Mike Hoffmann, who has spent his career helping people understand the impacts of carbon pollution through the foods we all love and need. Mike has written on the subject for outlets including The Hill, Fortune, Medium, and USA Today, and is the lead author of Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need, published by Cornell Press in 2021. He's also delivered a TEDx Talk, "Climate Change: It's Time to Raise Our Voices," and has given more than 150 related talks over the course of his career. Mike grew up on a one-cow dairy farm, served in the Marines during the Vietnam War, and went on to hold multiple leadership roles at Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, where he now holds the title of Professor Emeritus. As he puts it, he intends to keep telling this story for as long as he can.  The conversation opens with a snapshot of where things stand this fall with extreme weather, from wildfires and rising heat to the incoming El Niño, setting the stage for the deeper conversation about food. From there, Mike explains why he chose food as his entry point into this story rather than energy, sea level rise, or extreme weather, and what makes it such a powerful and relatable way to reach people. He and host Shannon Maganiezin dig into how food itself is changing due to excess greenhouse gases (GHGs), including troubling shifts in nutritional quality, the vitamins, proteins, and essential minerals that our diets depend on.  Mike also shares a story about pizza, one he's found to be a surprisingly effective way to illustrate the far-reaching effects of a warming climate on the foods we love, drawn from the many presentations he's given on the topic. The discussion turns to his teaching at Cornell, where he leads a course called Using the Power of Food to Confront Climate Change, and what he's learned from working with the next generation on these issues. The episode closes on a call to action: Mike's belief that food is the ultimate messenger for telling this story, and the potential for real change if more people start talking about and sharing it, including producers, food media, consumer groups, and chefs.  Tune in for a conversation that reframes carbon and other GHG pollution as something we all encounter three times a day and hear why one of the field's most experienced voices believes food may be our best tool yet for getting people to listen.   

In Part 2 of our conversation with Kyle, he continues sharing his journey from Marine infantry deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan to a difficult battle with alcohol, marriage strain, and identity. Brody and Kyle talk honestly about combat, loss, coming home, and what happens when you try to carry everything on your own.The conversation turns to faith and finding his way back to God through a family health scare, honest friendships, and a renewed life of prayer. Kyle shares how he learned he didn't have to “get right” before coming to God.Today, Kyle and his wife, Jennifer, are helping build a church inside a Marine barracks through Manna Church. We talk about military ministry, staying faithful through hard seasons, and watching young Marines come to faith and carry the mission forward.Part 1: Training Builds. Brotherhood Strengthens.

Sometimes you have to step away from the noise to realize just how much we're focused on the wrong shit.After taking 30 days away from creating new content, I'm back with a different perspective.In this episode, we talk about Lance Corporal Jordan Houston and the Marines whose awards stemming from the Abbey Gate attack were upgraded. Houston stood there receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Valor for his actions during one of the darkest moments of the Afghanistan withdrawal, and somehow much of the conversation online became about his beard, his hair, and how he wore his uniform.At what point did we lose sight of what actually matters?We also need to have a conversation about the military content creator space. Having a platform comes with influence, whether we acknowledge it or not. Junior Marines, future service members, peers, and leaders are watching. So when does creating meaningful content turn into simply feeding the algorithm?And finally, I talk about what 30 days away taught me about my own platform, burnout, Facebook unexpectedly taking off, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is step away, recalibrate, and come back focused.In this episode:Taking 30 days away from content creationWhy old content can find an entirely new audienceLance Corporal Houston and the Abbey Gate award upgradesWhy we focused on his appearance instead of his actionsThe uncomfortable truth about appearance in the militaryMilitary influencers and the responsibility that comes with an audienceCreating for impact vs. creating for the algorithmWhy sometimes you need to step back to see the bigger pictureIf you get anything from this episode, remember this:Sometimes we're so close to the noise that we completely lose sight of what actually matters.

Juvenile delinquent. Those words typically bring to mind someone specific. Usually, a child who never had much of a chance to be something other than a delinquent. A home that set them on the wrong path. Parents that showed them the way. Very few make it out of that lifestyle. But some, by God‘s grace and intervention, not only make it out, but thrive on a totally different path. On this weeks show, Robert “Bob” Smith join Kurt and Chad to talk about his testimony, as shared in his new book And You Thought Police Work Was Exciting! Bob shares his story from a childhood destined for rebellion, to a trip to military school, to his service in the Marines, and a career in airline security, the rollercoaster ride had this as a constant: God was watching over Bobby. Protecting, leading and providing all the way.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithThe West's grip on Iran is not diplomacy. It is an offer a country cannot refuse. This episode follows that gangster logic from the 1953 CIA-MI6 coup against Mohammad Mossadegh, through Iran-Contra and Mena, to the Business Plot — the Wall Street scheme to recruit America's most decorated Marine to stop the New Deal.Smedley Butler had two Medals of Honor and 33 years in the Corps. In War Is a Racket he said he was not a patriot for hire. He was “a high-class muscle man for Big Business… a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.” He made Mexico safe for oil, Haiti safe for the banks, Nicaragua safe for Brown Brothers, Honduras safe for fruit companies, China safe for Standard Oil. Al Capone ran three city districts. Butler said the Marines ran three continents.Same playbook in Tehran. Mossadegh nationalized Iranian oil. Operation Ajax removed him. Decades later Iran-Contra sold weapons to the same “terrorist state,” funneled the profits to the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment, and looked the other way while cocaine paid for the war. Gary Webb was right that the CIA protected Contra-linked traffickers. He was wrong that one ring explained the crack epidemic. Mena was real. The legend is bigger than the documented load.Then they tried it at home. In 1933–34, after Roosevelt left the gold standard and launched New Deal jobs, housing, and labor programs, financiers approached Butler to lead 500,000 veterans on Washington. The plan: a “Secretary of General Affairs” as dictator, FDR as figurehead. Money from Wall Street. Arms from Remington. Cover from the American Liberty League.Butler got the names and testified under oath. The McCormack-Dickstein Committee reported that the plot “was discussed, was planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.”Nobody was prosecuted. The names were stripped from the public report. The press called it a hoax, then went silent.Same offer. Same refusal. Different map.In this episode:Why Iran policy still reads like a protection racket over oilOperation Ajax and the 1953 overthrow of a elected governmentIran-Contra: arms, hostages, Contras, and the cocaine pipelineWhat Gary Webb got right — and what he overstatedSmedley Butler's confession in War Is a RacketThe Business Plot against FDR, and why no one was chargedRelated episodes:The Clintons, Cocaine, Conspiracy, and Cover Up (Parts 1 and 2)Episode 474: Deep Down the Rabbit Hole of Drug SmugglingBonus: Iran, The History of US Aggression and LiesSeeking the truth.

Send us Fan MailA comedy career can start in the most unexpected place, and Marc Yaffee proves it. We sit down with Marc, a Native American stand-up comedian who once worked as a DMV driving examiner, then taught traffic school before ever thinking he'd end up headlining clubs, casinos, and events across the country. That strange “day job” origin story turns into a real masterclass on stage presence, writing jokes, and learning how to win over strangers one laugh at a time.We also get honest about what comedy audiences don't see: the grind of open mic nights, the value of mentors, and why we cared so much about clean comedy at Laughs Unlimited. We talk about originality, why stolen bits kill your momentum, and how professional comics treat the craft like a job. If you're searching for stand-up comedy tips, how to write a set, or how to structure a comedy show, you'll hear practical tactics like recording your sets, saving joke ideas, and placing experimental material in the middle while you open strong and close stronger.Then Marc delivers the kind of road stories you can't make up: telling jokes over an airplane PA, performing for Marines in Iraq, and using commitment and timing to lift a room. We wrap with why clean, flexible comedy is perfect for fundraisers and community events and share a stand-up set from Mark that highlights his sharp perspective and identity-driven humor.If you enjoy behind-the-scenes comedy stories, clean stand-up, and real-world advice from working comics, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Hosted by: R.

He breaks down how being a hyper responder shaped his approach to PEDs (less is more), the problem with influencers recommending a gram of testosterone or 400-500mg of Trenbolone to beginners, why he believes GLP-1s are essentially cheating in competition prep, why he thinks no one in the open division is bringing diet face anymore, how barbell rows and training back twice a week transformed his physique, the mental shift from training angry to training joyful after his faith walk, his four and a half years of depression post-retirement, how he turned down Hollywood roles he felt were degrading, and his anticipation of becoming a father for the first time at 46.

In this episode of The Biollywood Podcast, the Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense at the Atlantic Council, Asha M. George, Associate Director for Research, J.T. O'Brien, and Associate Director for Government Relations and Policy, Robert Bradley, discuss the 2005 film "Doom" - starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Karl Urban - and its implications for astrobiodefense, biosafety and biosecurity, and genetic modification. Premise: In the year 2046, the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) operates a top-secret research facility on Mars called Olduvai. When a distress signal reports a containment breach, a squad of Marines known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad (RRTS) is deployed via "the Ark" (a teleportation gate) to secure the facility. They arrive to find the staff slaughtered or mutated into grotesque creatures. The threat isn't supernatural, but biological: an ancient Martian "24th Chromosome" (C24) that has been weaponized as a serum. The squad must contain the threat before it can spread to Earth via the Ark, leading to a brutal conflict between duty, ethics, and survival.

Sanders talks about her grandfather, Murray Simon, whose life was saved by an American spy in Second World War France. In Ortiz's War, co-authored with historian Nicholas Reynolds, Sanders writes about Peter Ortiz, who became the Allies' secret weapon against the Nazis in France. With his stunning looks, Ortiz might have been a Hollywood creation. Polylingual Franco-American aristocrat, French Foreign Legion, race-car driver, circus lion tamer, the most battle-decorated member of America's first spy agency. He even played himself (anonymous brave soldier) in a number of post-war Hollywood movies. I wish he was my grandfather. Five Takeaways •       The Spy Who Saved Her Grandfather. Murray Simon was a 23-year-old Jewish kid from Queens who had never flown before the Army Air Forces trained him — then sent him over occupied France in a black-painted B-24 Liberator carrying spy supplies and carrier pigeons for the resistance. Shot down on May 6, 1944, a month before D-Day, on an OSS mission whose standing advice was don't get shot down — spies were tortured and killed, not taken prisoner — he was hidden by a Bulgarian-born Jew passing as Catholic, a man with an eight-month-old daughter and a pregnant wife who was “already supposed to be dead” and opened his door anyway. Smuggled onward, Murray was intercepted by Peter Ortiz — and made it home to the GI Bill, a family, and what he called “the warm womb of Uncle Sam.” Katie never met him; the book is her way of meeting him. “I gravitate towards stories of resistance, probably in part because I'm a product of one.” Publication day: the anniversary of the liberation of Paris.•       No Peacetime Soldier. Peter J. Ortiz's résumé reads like an unpublishable novel: son of a founding editor of Paris Vogue; French boarding-school runaway into the Foreign Legion (North Africa, Casablanca included); merchant seaman, dude-ranch manager, race-car driver, circus lion tamer; wounded fighting the Germans in 1940, captured, serially escaped — once off a hospital train under a dead soldier's identity; docked in New York the day after Pearl Harbor and enlisted in the Marines, rising to become the most battle-decorated member of the OSS and one of the most decorated Marines of the war. His military file: not a good candidate for a desk job, ever. He spoke five languages, not Wikipedia's ten (“Wikipedia is a storyteller”), walked into bars in occupied France wearing his Marine uniform, and wrote his own epitaph in a twenty-page memoir: “I'm no peacetime soldier.” Afterward: John Ford's Hollywood, minor roles, his own uniforms as costume — and no bragging, ever.•       The Heroic Surrender at Centron. The book's climax is Operation Union II, August 1944 — Ortiz's own inter-Allied mission into the Alps, culminating in the massive “Le Grand Parachutage” supply drop to the Maquis. He recruited his own Parris Island parachute instructors — Marines who remembered the legionnaire who blew them all away at boot camp — plus Francis Coolidge: Harvard dropout, fellow Foreign Legion veteran, and great-great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. When his patrol was surrounded at the village of Centron by vastly superior German forces on a murderous late-war rampage, Ortiz chose saving the town over fighting — the surrender as the war's most heroic act, bravery as the capacity to think while being shot at. Centron celebrates him every year; Katie was just there with Marines stationed in Germany, for the eighty-second anniversary. Guiding lights: noblesse oblige, Don Quixote, and a lifelong allergy to McCarthyism.•       Wild Bill's Wartime Startup. The OSS — forerunner of the CIA, whose Langley lobby still holds Wild Bill Donovan's statue — was, in Katie's telling, a wartime startup: 13,000 military and civilian personnel, mostly Wall Street lawyers, bankers, cryptographers, and cartographers, with a tiny operational subset that included Moe Berg, Virginia Hall trekking the Pyrenees on a wooden leg, and Ortiz. Donovan — World War One Medal of Honor recipient, FDR's “secret legs,” the man who could “see an acorn, envision an oak tree” — was banned from D-Day as the one man carrying too many secrets, and went sniffing around anyway. J. Edgar Hoover was considered for the job and rejected, with Churchill's SOE helping tip the choice. “I respect Donovan a lot more than I respect J. Edgar Hoover.” The lineage runs straight to today's Navy SEALs and MARSOC — including past Keen On guest Brandon Webb.•       Are We in 1939? Katie walks the museum timelines — 1933, and it's “not great”; 1936, and the warnings mount; “I certainly hope we're not in 1939.” Against Andrew's needling about greatest-generation nostalgia (via Brandon Webb's complicated heroism, Kristin Beck's good-and-evil seduction, Richard Overy's question of whether the war ever ended, and Matt Damon's regret-soaked Odysseus), she holds the line: someone like Ortiz is great in any time — and especially needed when democracy is under threat. The warfare itself has closed its chapter: her grandfather's black-painted bomber and carrier pigeons have become Ukraine's drones, delivering aid with less risk and less human connection alike. What survives the technology is the lesson: heroes don't brag — her grandfather and Ortiz would be mortified by the spotlight — and by illuminating what they did, the rest of us might learn to do the right thing. About the Guest Katie S. Sanders is an award-winning journalist who has written for National Geographic, The New York Times, Washington Post Magazine, TIME, Smithsonian, and Vanity Fair. Her reporting has brought her to the CIA, the White House, and the homes and reunions of World War II veterans and Holocaust survivors. After discovering that her late grandfather — a Jewish-American pilot shot down over France — was rescued by Peter Ortiz, she teamed up with the historian Nicholas Reynolds (Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy) to co-author Ortiz's War (Harper Horizon, August 25, 2026). A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she lives in Brookline, Massachusetts. References: •       Ortiz's War: The Allies' Secret Weapon Against the Nazis in France by Nicholas Reynolds and Katie S.

The Baghdad Shuffle is a crime thriller set against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but much of the world behind it comes directly from author Josh Bates's own experience as a Marine. Bates was serving as a Marine infantry officer when his unit pushed north from Kuwait into Iraq and eventually into Baghdad. What stayed with him was not only the combat, but the chaos that followed the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime—the looting, criminal activity, money left behind, and Marines suddenly dealing with situations far outside conventional warfare. One episode in particular, a Baghdad bank robbery involving thieves trying to breach a vault with RPGs, became part of the inspiration for the story he would eventually write. Although the novel is fiction, Bates says much of the Iraq section grew out of things he actually experienced during the initial push to Baghdad and the period that followed. He estimates that roughly 85 to 90 percent of the events informing the first act happened to him in some form, then were condensed and reshaped for the story. We'll talk with Josh about his Marine Corps career, his experiences during the invasion of Iraq, and how those memories eventually became the foundation for a novel. We'll also discuss the mix of military experience, crime, humor, and absurdity that shaped The Baghdad Shuffle, and why he wanted the book to reflect the perspective of the young Marines who actually lived through those early days of the war. Josh Bates is a retired Marine infantry and intelligence officer, podcaster, and author. The Baghdad Shuffle is his first novel.

Peter J. Ortiz was the most battle-decorated member of the OSS, America's wartime forerunner to the CIA, and one of the most decorated Marines of the Second World War. In 1944, the former French Foreign Legionnaire twice parachuted into occupied France to arm the Maquis, sabotage German lines, and feed intelligence to London ahead of D-Day. Chris speaks with former Marine and CIA historian Nicholas Reynolds and journalist Katie S. Sanders—whose grandfather, a downed airman, was among those Ortiz rescued—about their book Ortiz's War, and the moment when Ortiz surrendered to a hundred Germans to spare a village.

Veterans leave the military having earned health care, education benefits, and job training. What almost nobody tells them is that none of it is automatic. You have to show up with your DD-214 and enroll yourself, and if you don't, no one follows up. On this episode, six veterans across four decades and four branches of service describe the same gap. A Marine who got out in 1989 and didn't learn what the VA was until 2019. An Army mechanic who called 211 out of desperation and found housing. A combat veteran who lost her home during COVID and was told she earned too much to qualify for help. Recorded at the U.S.VETS facility in Inglewood, California, with interviews from the Center on Conscience and War and 50501 Veterans. We requested an interview with the Department of Defense and did not receive a response. This episode includes discussion of suicide, sexual assault, and addiction.     Featuring: Mike Prysner – Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War.

In this episode of the RunRx Podcast, Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about what really happens inside the RunRx Zooms and why so many runners feel awkward at first, but then start to understand the movement over time. Valerie explains how the Zooms work, why they require only a small amount of space, and how she coaches runners live through drills, warmups, hops, skips, and running-specific movement patterns. The conversation also covers why most runners do not naturally do drills, why so many people skip warmups, and how learning the why behind the movement changes everything.Valerie shares how training like an elite athlete is not about identifying as elite, but about using the same kind of preparation, repetition, and movement awareness that elite runners use. She explains the importance of understanding pose, fall, pull, and the running man drill, and why memorizing a movement is not the same as truly understanding it. The episode also highlights how community plays a huge role in running success, how runners can feel silly at first, and why that feeling usually disappears once they understand how the drills improve their run. Valerie also shares a real success story from a Marine runner who trained with her, came in second overall in a 50K, and then brought a group of fellow Marines to learn how to run more efficiently and stay out of injury.▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now →Jon Sheldon has lived through more transitions than most people can imagine — Marine Corps infantry, corporate finance director, and now founder of Belleau Wood Coaching. This episode is a practical conversation about what it actually takes to lead yourself and your team well: getting clear on purpose, planning for what will go wrong, and building the kind of confidence that only comes from taking action. Whether you're just starting your bookkeeping practice or managing a growing team, there's something here for you.Chapters[00:00] Purpose as the Common Thread[02:54] Jon's Background: Marines to Finance[08:00] Life's Purpose vs. Purpose Right Now[10:48] Accepting the Cost of Transition[15:00] Contingency Plans Beat Burning Boats[17:54] The Six-Step Decision Framework[22:00] Failure, Resilience, and Confidence[26:00] The Four-Pillar Performance Blueprint[31:00] Accountability and Radical Honesty[34:00] How to Connect with JonPurpose Is Not Just a ClichéJon believes purpose is the most overlooked driver in business — and in life. "Most people I run into don't ever take the time to, or have never taken the time to, really plan it out or think about what, how are they living a purposeful life?" It doesn't have to be a grand existential answer. Finding what fills you with purpose right now is enough to start leading better — yourself and the people around you.Plan for What Will Go WrongOne of the most practical ideas Jon brings from his Marine Corps days is what he calls "accepting the cost." Most people building a business focus on the vision and avoid thinking through what could go wrong — because they don't want to scare themselves out of it. Jon flips that: "Most battles are won with better contingency plans. That's how most missions are won — by thinking through the challenges and obstacles that are inevitably going to come." Knowing your worst-case scenarios in advance doesn't kill confidence. It creates it.A Six-Step Decision FrameworkJon teaches a repeatable process he calls Clarity, Condition, Cost, Align, Act, Adapt. Get clear on what you're deciding. Do a gear check — do you have everything you need? Establish the cost of what could go wrong. Make sure your first action actually aligns with your goal. Act. Then adapt based on what you learn. "I've had the best plan and then the first action has nothing to do with pushing my business forward." The framework keeps that from happening.Failure Is Part of the DealJon is direct about this: failing is how you build the confidence to lead. "You might not hire the right person the first time. You might not make a great investment here or there. It's how you bounce back from that and get resilient that's going to really boost your confidence." If you're just getting started, expect some rough patches. If you have a clear purpose tied to where you're going, those rough patches are easier to push through — because the destination still matters.The Four-Pillar Performance BlueprintJon works with every client through a four-pillar framework: Purpose (your why), Vision (a day-in-the-life picture of where you're headed, three years out), Ecosystem (who and what you're surrounding yourself with — including your tools and your workspace), and Motivators (what actually energizes you to take action). From there, his coaching is high accountability and action-driven: clients leave every session with a tracked action step, session notes, and metrics they've defined themselves. As Jon puts it, he's "tactfully tough and radically honest" — because most business owners don't have enough people in their corner telling them the truth.Links mentionedBelleau Wood Coaching website: belleauwood.coachInstagram: @belleauwood_coachingLinkedIn: Jonathan Sheldon (search "Jonathan Sheldon Belleau Wood Coaching")Start With Why by Simon SinekAbout the guestJon Sheldon is the founder of Belleau Wood Coaching and a former Marine Corps infantryman who completed two back-to-back deployments to Iraq, leading 13 Marines through more than 200 combat missions.

Football season has arrived, and the crew wastes no time debating whose game day schedule reigns supreme (East Coast breakfast kickoffs versus West Coast five-beers-deep mornings) before diving into a coffee-warmer appreciation segment that somehow doubles as a good-brew sponsor read. The meat of this episode is ESPN's three-year future power rankings, and the guys tear into them team by team. Expect a genuinely heated defense of Jordan Love as a tier-one quarterback, shots at the "emerging tier two" label, Herbert-over-Tua takes, and Alpha absorbing blow after blow as the entire NFC West gets ranked around him. Along the way, CannCon addresses the online mystery of whether he served in the Army or the Marines, and the trio gets sincere about aging, back injuries, and gym redemption arcs, including Alpha's raw story of restarting at rock bottom. It closes with a "real conversation" between men and women, illustrated with cartoons nobody can quite explain. Sports, self-improvement, and locker room honesty.

Isn't Gettysburg history so interesting, the more you dig into it? We think it is. And this one is something we would have loved to witness.  In 1922, the US Marine Corps was fighting for its life. Many in Washington, including the Commander-in-Chief, wanted to disband the Marines even though they fought valiantly in WWI. So, the Marines campaigned to stay alive by showing the American People who they are and why they're needed.  General John A. Lejeune had two goals for the Marine Corps. He wanted Marines to become better fighters by learning from past wars and testing new ways to fight. But he also wanted the American people to see the value of the Marine Corps at a time when some people were questioning whether the country even needed it. Instead of holding military exercises in places far from the public, Lejeune wanted to bring the Marines to famous historic sites where people could watch them train. As Gunnery Sergeant Thomas E. Williams explained, the Marines could practice working with artillery, armor, and aircraft while also putting themselves in front of the American public. Gettysburg was a perfect place to do it. At the time, Gettysburg and other national battlefields were still controlled by the U.S. War Department. That meant they could be used for military training. General Smedley D. Butler took command of the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia, in June 1920. He is credited with the idea of holding these exercises on famous American battlefields. Butler believed the Marines could study the decisions made by Civil War commanders, practice their own skills, and give the public a chance to see the Marine Corps in action. The idea was simple: train the Marines while also showing Americans why the Marine Corps mattered. LBG Rich Kohr joins us to talk about this lesser-known event in Gettysburg's history.

In this episode of Urban Valor, Ronald shares his incredible story of joining the U.S. Marines, experiencing combat, surviving an IED explosion, losing a fellow service member beside him, and confronting experiences that would follow him long after the battlefield.But Ronald's story started LONG before the Marine Corps...He grew up in Northern California in a Puerto Rican family that endured financial hardship, his sister's battle with cancer, his mother's addiction, abuse inside the home, and eventually the breakup of his family.As a kid, Ronald learned pretty damn quickly how to survive.By his teenage years, that meant helping raise his sisters, trying to help keep his family financially afloat, getting involved in selling marijuana, witnessing violence around his friends, and reaching adulthood without much of a plan for what came next.Then life changed FAST.Ronald began a relationship, discovered he was about to become a father, and suddenly needed a way to provide for a family.Then, seemingly out of nowhere...A Marine Corps recruiter called.Ronald signed the paperwork, went to boot camp, and began a path that would eventually put him into situations very few people can truly understand.And somehow, even surrounded by some incredibly dark moments, Ronald's Marine Corps stories can also be absolutely hilarious.From doing boot camp practically BLIND because nobody gave him his glasses......to Marines breaking into the WRONG barracks......to a drill instructor apparently studying World of Warcraft just so he could figure out new ways to destroy the recruits playing it. But combat was different.Ronald describes transporting bodies, seeing horrific injuries become almost routine, and the moment a pressure plate detonated feet away from him.For a moment, his mind transported him somewhere completely different.Then Abdul came crashing back into his reality.And Ronald realized his friend was dead.Thank you to Ronald Long for trusting us with his story.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denies the operational problems aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. For over nine months, more than 5,000 sailors and Marines have been trapped in a relentless deployment in the Middle East. Having spent over 250 consecutive days at sea without making landfall, the crew of the Lincoln has endured a record-breaking stretch for a modern aircraft carrier. Originally intended for routine operations in the Pacific, the warship was redirected into fifth-month combat duty against Iran without a sustainable rotation strategy or adequate logistical support.

Leadership in the Marine Corps is often associated with uncompromising toughness and strict command. But the most impactful leaders learn to balance high standards with genuine empathy, recognizing that an organization's true strength comes from investing directly in the success of its people.I've spent a lot of time reflecting on the evolution of military culture, and today's Marines are sharper, highly observant, and deeply focused on purpose and authenticity.  In this conversation, LtGen Watson and I dive in to his three-decade career in the United States Marine Corps: from his early days as an ROTC midshipman to commanding the 1st Marine Division and Training and Education Command and explore the critical transition from "tough guy" leadership and the lessons learned from leading through high-visibility commands like 8th & I and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory.Whether discussing the "reverse Pony Express" mentality of leadership turnover or the duty to stay connected to junior Marines, LtGen Watson emphasizes that a leader's ultimate mandate is to set their people up to win. Today's episode offers a meaningful masterclass in character, humility, and modern military command.

Craig Symonds, Part Two: This phase of the war focuses on the Central Pacific campaign, beginning with the brutal amphibious landing at Tarawa in 1943, where the Marines had to "invent" amphibious operations under fire. Nimitzcontinued to manage complex interpersonal dynamics, including the volatile "Howling Mad" Holland Smith and the difficult aviator John Towers. Despite skepticism from subordinates, Nimitz applied "calculated risk" by targeting Kwajalein directly, a decision vindicated by its swift capture. The account details the contrasting leadership styles of Raymond Spruance and Bull Halsey. Spruance's cautious but effective defense during the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" drew criticism from aviators, while Halsey's aggressive pursuit of "bait" carriers at Leyte Gulf nearly led to disaster. Nimitz often chose to retain Halsey despite major errors, including his failure to avoid two devastating typhoons, citing the importance of Halsey's public image and American morale. As the war reached the Japanese home islands, Nimitz faced the terrifying kamikaze threat and debated the merits of a naval blockade versus a full-scale invasion. After being briefed on the atomic bomb, the war concluded with the surrender in Tokyo Bay. Post-war, Nimitz served as Chief of Naval Operations and later co-edited the influential naval history textbook Sea Power. (2)

The murder of 16-year-old Adrianne Reynolds is one of the most heartbreaking and notorious juvenile crime cases in Illinois history. Having just moved to East Moline for a fresh start, Adrianne was a vibrant teen who loved music, dreamed of joining the Marines, and desperately wanted to fit in at her new alternative school. Tragically, her naive trust drew her into a toxic social circle anchored by Sarah Kolb and Cory Gregory. Driven by intense, territorial teenage jealousy over mutual love interests, Kolb and Gregory lured Adrianne into a car and brutally beat and strangle her to death in the backseat. Days later when Gregory confessed, leading police to the evidence and sparking two decades of intense legal drama. Both Kolb and Gregory transitioned while incarcerated—now going by Shane Kolb and Harli Quinn, respectively—both received lengthy prison sentences. While Kolb continues to serve a 53-year term, Quinn's 45-year sentence was recently overturned for a new juvenile resentencing hearing. Through it all, Adrianne's devoted father, Tony Reynolds, has kept his daughter's memory alive, turning their unimaginable grief into a legacy of hope by establishing a memorial GED scholarship fund that has helped hundreds of at-risk youth earn their diplomas.
