Podcasts about Military justice

This is a huge and news-making show. Recorded just before Kelly's pivotal meeting with Hegseth in Washington. When Donald Trump used the power of the presidency to call for Senator Mark Kelly's execution, he crossed a dangerous new line—and sent a chilling message to millions of veterans and every American who dares to speak out. In this all–new episode, Independent Americans host and Army veteran Paul Rieckhoff sits down with the Arizona Senator, Navy combat pilot and astronaut for a raw, unfiltered, and urgent conversation about retribution, free speech, and the future of American democracy.​ Just hours before his first face-to-face meeting with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth since Hegseth and Trump launched an unprecedented military investigation into Kelly.  Senator Kelly explains why Trump's move is not just an attack on him, but on every retired service member who might now think twice before speaking his/her mind. He breaks down how Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are trying to weaponize the Uniform Code of Military Justice against political opponents, and why he refuses to be silenced—even if that means facing a “kangaroo court” in uniform.​ Rieckhoff presses Kelly on the looming risk of a new war with Venezuela, what Trump might do while Congress is out of session, and why the administration still hasn't offered any clear legal or strategic justification for putting American troops in harm's way. Kelly connects the dots between Trump's past calls to kill the families of terrorists, shoot protesters in the legs, and “just kill people,” and the dangerous culture now spreading inside the Pentagon.​ This is a critical, behind-the-scenes briefing with the Senator on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees who is directly in Trump's crosshairs—and who is still showing up to hold this White House to account. It's also a powerful message to every independent, veteran, military family, and engaged citizen about courage, oversight, and what it really means to stay vigilant in this moment. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

What happens when conscience collides with command? We dig into the duty to refuse illegal orders, why “just following orders” isn't a shield under U.S. military law, and how real-world pressures push service members toward compliance even when red flags are waving. Drawing on the Nuremberg legacy and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, we lay out the reasonable person standard, the gray zones operators face, and the information gaps created by tempo, classification, and deference to the chain of command. The debate isn't abstract. We tackle drone strikes and maritime interdictions that occur far from declared battlefields, where targets are labeled threats without due process and legality is assumed rather than tested. We also unpack the political firestorm around lawmakers telling troops to refuse unlawful orders, the backlash from prominent figures in Washington, and why specificity matters if you want to help real people making life-or-death choices under orders. From there, we turn to Gaza and the West Bank, mapping how a “truce” can mask a harder reality on the ground: concentrated control of land and water, constrained aid, and an approach to settlement and displacement designed to be incremental and quiet rather than spectacular and condemned. We examine the strategic logic behind slow-motion annexation, the global signals that enable it, and the human consequences that follow—especially for families facing medical collapse and shrinking horizons. It all connects to a single theme: accountability. A credible military requires lawful orders and the courage to refuse unlawful ones. A sustainable foreign policy demands consistency between values and actions. If this conversation challenged your assumptions or gave you a clearer framework for thinking about duty, law, and Gaza, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review with the one question you still want answered.

Members of the military have a duty to obey lawful orders but must not obey patently unlawful orders. Given the administration's unlawful, deadly strikes in international waters, our troops are being put in difficult and dangerous circumstances by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. The National Institute of Military Justice has created The Orders Project to provide real-time, informed advice for military members who are trying to lawfully navigate the difficult situation in which they are being put.

With guest host Lucas Moody, Soundman Jim and Mark. Our Word of the Week is “Anti-War.” First, we look at how President Trump's “peace plan” in the Ukraine-Russia war is faring. Then we look at how international workers are building a ‘People's Embargo' for Palestine and against Israeli genocide. After that, we look at the genocide occurring in the Sudan. Lastly, we look at the Trump Administration's murder on the high seas off the coast of Venezuela, and how the US Uniform Code of Military Justice requires military personnel to not obey unlawful orders, such as these extrajudicial killings.

We are debating the UCMJ,( Uniform Code of Military Justice), on carrying out Needless / Senseless Killings, as being lawful? Pete Hegseth hangs himself on his own 2016 speech when he said…. NEVER follow unlawful orders. Would attacking Venezuela be considered a War Crime? Donald Trump’s Plan: How many diversion stories this week, to lead us away from the Epstein files and Gaza?

The Department of Justice failed to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges. The FBI has arrested and charged a suspect for the pipe bombs placed at the DNC and RNC on January 5th, 2021.Jim Jordan has subpoenaed Jack Smith to appear behind closed doors after rejecting the Special Counsel's request to testify before the House Judiciary Committee publicly.Kash Patel faces more scrutiny about his personal use of public resources after ordering an FBI detail to give his girlfriend's inebriated friend a ride home after a night out.Plus listener questions…Do you have questions for the pod?   Follow AG Substack|MuellershewroteBlueSky|@muellershewroteAndrew McCabe isn't on social media, but you can buy his book The ThreatThe Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and TrumpWe would like to know more about our listeners.

Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) rips through one of the most urgent, dangerous stories in American politics right now: Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's unprecedented weaponization of the Department of Defense and FBI against Senator Mark Kelly and five other members of Congress, and millions of military retirees—just days before Thanksgiving.  Coming to you from the new MS Now (formerly MSNBC) headquarters in Times Square, and after a whirlwind of speaking out, Paul connects the dots between Trump's escalating attacks, Ukraine's ongoing fight, 9/11 first responder revelations, and why this moment demands maximum vigilance from you—and every independent American.  Paul explains how Trump and his “Acting” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are targeting Senator Mark Kelly and six other members of Congress—sending a chilling message to over two million military retirees—who now fear being dragged back under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for what they post or say.  This is bigger than Democrat vs. Republican—it is about right vs. wrong, and about whether America is still a place where free speech is protected from government retaliation. He analyzes Senator Slotkin's warning about a new FBI counterterrorism inquiry into her after a Trump-criticizing video, and how combining DOD and FBI power into a dual intimidation strike looks less like a democracy and more like the behavior of despots in Russia, North Korea, or Saddam's Iraq.  In classic Independent Americans fashion, Paul also hits rapid headlines that everyone should be tracking heading into Thanksgiving: fresh Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, the simmering risk of U.S. strikes on Venezuela, the underreported stakes for National Guard and Reserve members serving in Congress, and new revelations about long-buried documents on the toxic dust that has killed more 9/11 first responders than were lost on the day itself. He connects it all back to accountability, vigilance, and the open seats at Thanksgiving tables that still remind families of the lasting costs of 9/11.  And because this show always brings light, Paul closes with “something good”: a shout-out to The Duffel Blog—the “Onion for the military”—whose brutal satire of Trump's “woke” rhetoric, ICE raids, and Pentagon absurdity offers a sharp, much-needed laugh for vets and civilians alike.

On November 20th, a group of six Democratic Senators and Representatives released a video addressing American servicemembers, reminding them that they can and must refuse illegal orders that are given to them. The video comes as the Trump administration continues deploying the National Guard to cities around the country - and a day before a judge ruled that the National Guard deployment in Washington, DC was illegal. In the video, Representatives Chris Deluzio, Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan along with Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin say in part, “the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.”Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have labeled them the “Seditious Six” and called for them to be hanged. Now, the Pentagon has opened an investigation into Mark Kelly because of the video, creating the possibility that the retired Navy Captain could be recalled and face charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Elissa Slotkin is a former CIA analyst, and the rest have military backgrounds. Kelly is the only one who served long enough to retire, receive a pension and continue to be subject to the UCMJ. The FBI has also announced an investigation into all six.The video and the responses of criminal investigation and even death threats reflect a severe disagreement within the ruling class on how to go forward as basic parts of the social contract are destroyed and trust in social institutions withers.Support the show

Sean Noble and Chris Clements are back with a Thanksgiving week episode breaking down Zoran Mamdani, Mark Kelly's Pentagon trouble, and the latest “peace framework” in Ukraine – plus why all of it matters for Arizona, America, and the future of the Democratic Party. They start light with a quick recap of Sean's first-ever Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas Strip and Chris' old Long Beach Grand Prix pit-pass stories, then pivot hard into New York politics and Mamdani's cozy photo op with President Trump at the White House. They talk about how a self-described socialist is being treated as the future of the Democratic Party, Trump's overly chummy tone, and why Mamdani's rent-freeze ideas are the exact reason New York has a housing and affordability crisis – including tens of thousands of units sitting empty under rent control.  From there, they turn to Arizona's own Senator Mark Kelly. The Pentagon has launched an investigation after Kelly and other Democrats recorded a video telling U.S. service members they can and must refuse “illegal orders.” Sean and Chris unpack why that message is dangerous when there are no illegal orders on the table, how it collides with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and why Trump's furious “traitors, punishable by death” response actually elevates Kelly into martyr and fundraising territory. They dig into Kelly's record, his time out of state, his lack of solutions for Arizona, and his national ambitions heading into 2028 – and why they see him as a more dangerous Democrat than someone like Gavin Newsom. The guys also hit Ruben Gallego's vulgar “drive time” video response to Trump, and what it says about the current state of political discourse. In the back half, Sean and Chris react to reports of a new 19-point peace framework for Ukraine – and Russia's rejection of it. They break down why demands around Donbas, Crimea and NATO are likely non-starters for Putin, how demographics and sheer manpower give Russia an ugly advantage in a war of attrition, and why continued support from China, Iran and even North Korea complicates any hope for a near-term deal. They close with a heartfelt Thanksgiving reflection on America as a nation founded on faith, freedom and free enterprise – from the pilgrims fleeing religious persecution to our modern debates – and why gratitude, family and faith still matter in the middle of all the chaos.

Senator Mark Kelly, in an interview with Rachel Maddow, emphasized his view that "it's almost comical" that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are calling it a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that he cited part of the Uniform Code of Military Justice in a recent video. Kelly explained his participation in the video in the context of protecting members of the military from a president who "doesn't seem to care about the Constitution, the rule of law."Rachel Maddow shares reporting on bizarre behavior by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who tampered with his ankle monitor while on house arrest and was sent to jail. Donald Trump subsequently boasted of speaking with Bolsonaro and expecting to see him soon, apparently unaware of Bolsonaro's incarceration. Did Trump accidentally reveal too much about why Bolsonaro was tampering with his ankle monitor?While there were questions at the start of the Trump administration about whether court rulings would be obeyed, it wasn't seen as a certainty that Donald Trump's representatives in court would lie so much to judges. Former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade talks with Rachel Maddow about what the likely fallout will be for Trump's legal lackeys.  Want more of Rachel?

  Some Democrats published a video reminding military members that they do not have to obey illegal orders. Pres. Trump called it sedition and said it was a crime punishable by death. After controversial comments about sedition and military obedience, we dig into the oath of enlistment and what counts as an unlawful order under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Where’s the line between duty and defiance?

On todays Show the Gang talks about the complexities of ecclesiology, focusing on church governance and discipleship. James Wilkerson and others debated the merits of top-down versus bottom-up church structures, using examples like the Catholic Church and Baptist Church. They emphasized the importance of comprehensive discipleship, including personal growth, corporate growth, sound doctrine, and comprehensive equipping. The conversation also highlighted the need for structured prayer and Bible study, the role of tithing, and the balance between church structure and individual spiritual growth. They concluded that a spirit-filled approach is crucial for effective church leadership and discipleship. The conversation revolves around the practice of tithing and spiritual disciplines. James Wilkerson discusses the difficulty of calculating his tithe and suggests reviewing his finances annually. Speaker 1 emphasizes the importance of tithing as a spiritual discipline, likening it to other routines that become instinctive with practice. The discussion also touches on the need for training in spiritual practices, similar to how one prepares for marriage or parenthood. Speaker 2 humorously compares the reluctance to accept such training to a military briefing on the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Don't Miss It!

Send us a textJustice should not depend on who's most afraid of a headline. We sit down with nationally recognized trial lawyer and former Air Force JAG Davis Younts to examine where military justice goes off the rails—and how to bring it back on track. Davis shares the moment a 15‑minute acquittal at the Air Force Academy changed his career path from prosecution to defense, revealing what happens when allegations gain momentum and no one can find the off‑ramp.We dig into the uneasy balance between command authority and legal oversight, why the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) is slowing cases while pulling commanders away from discipline, and how political risk trains leaders to push weak cases to court rather than make hard calls. You'll hear specific, practical fixes: raising the evidentiary bar to open administrative investigations, creating an affirmative defense for leaders who are strictly enforcing published standards, and finally training investigating officers to recognize bias, weigh credibility, and document decisions with rigor.On the UCMJ side, Davis makes the case to restore Article 32 preliminary hearings as a real evidentiary gate that protects true victims from re‑traumatization and the innocent from trials doomed by thin evidence. We also spotlight the “titling” trap—when simply being investigated can plant a damaging FBI record without charges or notice—along with common‑sense safeguards like notification and appeals. The through line is standards: physical readiness, professional conduct online, and the moral clarity to seek peace through strength without rewarding victimhood or punishing honest leadership.If you care about due process, warrior ethos, and a military that can command trust at home and deterrence abroad, this conversation is for you. Listen, share with a teammate, and tell us where you think reform should start. And if this resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and pass it to someone who needs to hear it.

Send us a textBuckle up—this one's going to piss some people off. Peaches, Trent, and Aaron sit down with Arvis Owens, a Naval Academy grad and former officer who had his career torched by a broken system. From botched carrier landings to fighting false accusations, Arvis lays out how the Uniform Code of Military Justice turned into a political circus where accusations = convictions and careers burn for headlines. The crew rips into toxic training, third-party harassment nonsense, and the absurd reality that you can be innocent and still lose everything. This isn't a pity party—it's a call to action.

The discussion shifts to various challenges in leadership styles within the military, compliance with orders, and the balance of personal beliefs versus professional duties. Spencer shares his experiences defending service members, navigating legal issues related to COVID-19 mandates, and working with federal agencies such as ICE.  

Join Holly Pflager Yeager and Arvis Owens as they reveal the devastating impact of outdated and unjust military justice practices. With over 600 cases of alleged wrongful convictions—many resulting in lifelong placement on the sex offender registry—they call for independent reviews and public scrutiny. These veterans defended our country but were denied the very rights they swore to protect. Learn why reform is urgently needed and how you can help. They also share their own reasons why this is so near and dear to them and has completely changed their life's.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, decorated veteran and military justice reform advocate Adam DeRito takes us through his remarkable journey from Air Force Academy cadet to the frontlines of a battle few civilians understand: the fight against military retaliation.Adam's story begins with his post-9/11 commitment to service, arriving at the Air Force Academy with real-world experience as a firefighter and EMT. After becoming an OSI confidential informant reporting cadet misconduct, his life took a devastating turn when he experienced sexual assault off-campus—and faced dismissal rather than support from his command. What followed was a systematic campaign of retaliation culminating in falsified medical records dated after he'd already left the Academy, an illegal tactic designed to permanently block his military career.Despite these obstacles, Adam persevered through multiple administrative appeals, federal court battles, and political advocacy while continuing to serve in the National Guard and Army Reserves. His experiences led him to draft the Military Mental Health Protection and Justice Act (known informally as the "DeRito Act"), which would prevent commanders from weaponizing command-directed evaluations against service members who report misconduct.The conversation exposes critical gaps in military accountability where commanders operate with minimal oversight, creating a chilling effect that damages readiness and unit cohesion. Adam's documentation of his case—including medical records falsified by someone without proper licensing—reveals how military mental health evaluations can be weaponized to silence whistleblowers and assault survivors.For anyone concerned about veterans' rights, military readiness, or constitutional protections, this episode provides rare insight into how our military justice system actually operates and why reforms like the DeRito Act are desperately needed. Visit adamdorito.com to review the evidence and join the fight for accountability that affects thousands of service members.

Join us for an informative conversation with Former Major, Coretta Gray & Col Don Christensen (USAF ret.), who is also the former chief prosecutor for the Air Force.

It's Friday, June 13th, 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 Adam McManus Christians in former Soviet Central Asian nations increasingly face persecution Formerly part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the five “stan” countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan — have a mix of ex-Soviet authoritarianism and Islamic nationalism that can be troublesome and even dangerous to Christians, reports International Christian Concern. The region has seen increasing repression of religious minorities during the last few years. Three of these five countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan — have seen a sharp rise in the persecution rankings. Even the comparatively less repressive nation of Kyrgyzstan has just this year returned to the Open Doors Top 50 list for the first time in more than a decade.   Kyrgyzstan has used special operations police to raid state-registered Protestant and Catholic churches and threatened to banish the entire Catholic Church from the country.   In rural Kazakhstan, authorities often pressure Christian business owners to pay bribes. Meanwhile, in neighboring Turkmenistan, a network of secret police and Muslim imams are primed and ready to flush out anyone partaking in so-called aberrant religious activity.  In John 15:8, Jesus said, "If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you" Air India plane crash kills 241 aboard with one survivor An Air India passenger plane carrying 242 passengers and crew crashed in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad at 1:38pm local time, soon after departing for London, reports CBS News. Ramesh Viswashkumar, the sole survivor of the Air India crash, escaped by jumping from the plane, reports India Today.  He was in seat 11A.  Campbell Wilson, Air India's CEO, expressed his condolences. WILSON: “First and most importantly, I would like to express our deep sorrow about this event.” Officials feared numerous casualties on the ground, as the aircraft had crashed into buildings, including the BJ Medical College undergraduate hostel mess, according to a social post on X. Christian leaders have also offered condolences and are vowing to help the families of the dead passengers, reports The Christian Post. Marines prepare for Los Angeles deployment as protests spread across U.S. California will face off with the White House in court today over President Donald Trump's deployment of U.S. troops in Los Angeles after demonstrators again took to the streets in major cities to protest Trump's crackdown on illegal aliens, reports Reuters. According to the Pentagon, 700 U.S. Marines will be on the streets of Los Angeles by Friday to support up to 4,000 National Guard troops in protecting federal property and federal agents, especially as they round up illegal aliens. Trump's decision to dispatch troops to Los Angeles, over the objections of California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, has sparked a national debate about the use of the military on U.S. soil. Carmen Colado, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst, spoke out publicly in uniform, condemning her own Commander-in-Chief, reports The Independent. COLADO: “We are not pawns for Donald Trump's agenda. Why now? It's because the military was called upon against the protesters. In our oath to serve, we serve the people of the United States, the Constitution. These constitutional rights are being stripped and just denied. The military will not be pawns to that. “So, I'm calling upon the conscience of military members who served previously and now. We have a duty and moral obligation to say no and resist evil.” In response, patriots have called for Carmen Colado to be dishonorably discharged or court-martialed for publicly criticizing the commander-in-chief's orders. Some argued that her actions constituted a violation of the U.S. military's Uniform Code of Military Justice and called for Article 15 to be invoked against her, which empowers a commanding officer to order nonjudicial punishments less severe than a court-martial. On Instagram, Colado describes herself as the “proud daughter of an illegal immigrant.” House cuts $9.4 billion in funding for NPR, PBS and foreign aid On Thursday, the House of Representatives narrowly voted to cut $9.4 billion in spending already approved by Congress as President Donald Trump's administration looks to follow through on work done by the Department of Government Efficiency when it was overseen by Elon Musk, reports The Associated Press. The package targets foreign aid programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides money for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. The vote was 214-212. This bill was passed at the request of President Trump, who has criticized PBS and NPR for alleged bias. Michelle Obama: Creating life is the least of what reproductive system does On the latest episode of the podcast “In My Opinion with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,” the former first lady said creating life is “the least” of what a woman's reproductive system does, reports the New York Post. Listen. MICHELLE OBAMA: “A lot of male lawmakers, a lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders think about the issue of choice as if it's just about the fetus, the baby. But women's reproductive health is about our life. It's about this whole complicated reproductive system -- the least of what it does is produce life.” Sadly, the former first lady despises the truth of Psalm 127:3 which declares, "Children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward.” Marcus Rogers, a Christian YouTuber, was horrified. ROGERS: “It's called the reproductive system for a reason. I really believe it's just a very demonic, antichrist spirit that these people are just so obsessed with killing babies. There's so many ways that you can prevent getting pregnant by someone you don't want to be pregnant by. There's so many things that you can do to take accountability. But the reality is these people don't want accountability. “They want to sacrifice their babies on the altar of self. They don't want a baby to inconvenience them. But they don't want to live a godly life where you would avoid all of that being a problem if you just got with the person that God has for you in the first place, instead of sleeping around.” Worldview listeners in South Carolina, Texas and Illinois share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences.  You can share your thoughts -- along with your  full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@theworldview.com Helen Mordente in Blythewood, South Carolina wrote,  “Because we have a small farm and my days are full, I don't listen to the newscast.  I scan the transcript to get the highlights which is all I have time to do.  I trust you as a reliable source of info.” Grace Cox in Duncanville, Texas wrote, “I just started listening this week. I like the stories of the persecuted church. It informs me on how to pray and I think it is important news for Christians to hear. “ And Rene Hernandez in Chicago, Illinois, wrote, “My wife, Adriana, and I, along with our four sons -- Naithan, Neo, Kal-El, and Othniel -- have enjoyed listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes because you give us the news from a biblical perspective. When we hear about missionaries and those being persecuted in another country, it gives us an opportunity to pray.  It is great to hear the connection with God's Word and the news.” 10 Worldview listeners gave $7,506 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by tonight at 12 midnight, 9 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Stephanie in Murrieta, California and George in Leesburg, Virginia – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Peter in Seaside, California and Kevin and Paula in Durham, Kansas – both of whom gave $300 as well as Nathan in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom who gave $506. And we were touched by the generosity of David and Tylaine in San Antonio who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Victoria in  Paradise, Pennsylvania who also pledged  $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Sydney in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada who gave $1,000, Roger in Crossville, Tennessee who gave $2,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two donations with an additional $2,000 gift. Those 10 Worldview listeners gave a total of $7,506   Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $32,071.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $29,678.80 by midnight tonight, Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Remember, if you are one of 6 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift.  Now, if that happens today, we will have raised $12,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 15 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 30 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300.

Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so we're going to drop in the first of two brainmelters. Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.After reckoning with the horrific current events aspect of this week's installment, Adam and Josh get down to brass tacks with “Military Justice,” which depending on where you watch it is either Episode 7 or 8 from Season 15 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. We discuss the essence of Galveston, the most heinous crime in the Boschiverse, the general self-preservation skills of ensigns, and Rollins straight-up laying a dude out, while marveling at a shockingly good episode of SVU complete with efficacious character development and some real tearjerking moments.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior team up for a packed episode of Badlands Daily, kicking things off with a critical look at California's ballooning Medi-Cal spending. With illegal immigrants and weight-loss drugs like Ozempic driving costs through the roof, the duo dives into the unsustainable nature of socialized healthcare and the systemic economic slavery it creates. Alpha draws from firsthand experience in California's public health system, offering sharp insights into how the deck is stacked against families trying to do better. The conversation shifts to a major development in military justice: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces the Pentagon will reverse discharge penalties for service members who refused the COVID-19 jab, calling the original order "unlawful." It's a bombshell move with massive implications for reinstatement, back pay, and policy credibility. But it's not all redemption arcs—leaked Hunter Biden warrant details, tensions over Trump's Iran strategy, and DoD infiltration by anti-Trump officials all take center stage. CannCon and Alpha unpack an O'Keefe exposé revealing a Pentagon official openly bragging about resisting Trump, raising red flags over seditious intent. Top it off with a geoengineering bombshell (sun-dimming, anyone?), China-linked intel leaks, Hogg vs. the DNC, and a final dose of comic relief from Nancy Pelosi's public fumbles, and you've got a classic Badlands blend of truth, tinfoil, and tactical optimism.

Heston Russell has lived a life most of us couldn’t imagine. A former special forces commander, he’s been shot at, dropped out of helicopters, and led troops through the chaos of Afghanistan and Iraq. But it wasn’t until he came home that he faced his toughest fight yet — not against an enemy overseas, but against his own country. Heston and his men were accused of war crimes, and suddenly, he was battling to defend their names against the weight of national headlines and public judgment. In this episode, we dive into Heston’s intense defamation case against the ABC, but we go deeper, too, into what it’s like to be a soldier at war and what you do when you’re wrongly accused of a crime you didn’t commit. You can listen to The ABC’s of Heston Russell podcast here.

Send us a textFrom the corridors of military prisons to the unique challenges of civilian life, our guest Jimmy Cummings shares an extraordinary journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. A retired Marine with a commanding presence in military corrections, Jimmy opens up about his early struggles in Scranton, Pennsylvania, that led him to the Marines, meeting his wife in Okinawa, and the trials of transitioning back to civilian life—only to find his way back to the Corps.

Round 1: Marine Demoted for Wearing Unauthorized Decorations A senior Marine, then-Sgt. Maj. Charlie Clawson, was demoted to sergeant after a court-martial found him guilty of wearing unauthorized military awards, including the Purple Heart and Combat Action Ribbon, which represent significant honors. Clawson faced nine counts under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for "unbecoming conduct" and for submitting a fake doctoral degree. His actions are notable as one of the largest active-duty "stolen valor" cases in recent history. This issue shocked military figures, as Clawson held senior roles and received undeserved respect from peers. Round 2: Controversial Campaign Attire in Japan Female campaign staff for Japanese political candidate Masafumi Tabuchi drew attention for wearing mini-skirts and fishnets while working to attract votes, stirring online debate. Many saw this as inappropriate for the political setting, while Tabuchi claimed he was unaware of the attire choice until later. The incident generated discussion on social media about professionalism in political campaigns, and whether this tactic was an appeal to specific voters or merely a misjudgment in campaign attire. Round 3: Celebrity Endorsements in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election In the 2024 election, celebrities are split in support between candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Harris has garnered endorsements from prominent figures like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Oprah Winfrey, who align with her positions on social and climate issues. Trump's support comes from influencers such as Elon Musk, Kid Rock, and Hulk Hogan, aligning with his business-focused policies and more conservative voter base. These endorsements reflect a division within the entertainment industry, with supporters using their platforms to rally voter engagement for each candidate. Round 5: Halloween vs. Christmas Decoration Dispute in Australia A neighborhood dispute arose in Queensland, Australia, where residents displaying Christmas decorations before Halloween received anonymous letters requesting they take them down to preserve Halloween's atmosphere. One resident, Melanie Ryan, expressed frustration, noting her decorations bring joy, especially to her children. The anonymous letter argued that early Christmas decor undermines Halloween's spirit, sparking a local debate over holiday timing and respect for festive traditions.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

The highest military court has largely overturned the conviction of a Coast Guard chief who sent inappropriate messages to other senior-enlisted members in a group text thread ― a ruling that will impact how and when troops are charged for sending such content through their phone. The case involves former Chief Machinery Technician Fernando M. Brown, who was convicted in 2019 on an insubordinate conduct charge under Article 91 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for sending three text messages to a “chief's mess” group thread while they were all assigned to the heavy icebreaker Polar Star, according to court records.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
