In this episode, we're talking about how America has real leadership again under Trump's administration, the importance of deporting illegal immigrants to restore law and order, and why we need to confirm RFK Jr. for the good of American health and wellbeing. We'll break down the policies that actually put America first, expose the chaos that's unfolded since, and discuss how we can push for real positive change for our country. We also need to focus on how we (desperately) need a separation of business and state.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/invest/gold-ira/

In this conversation, Lisa and Elbridge Colby discuss the current state of global affairs, particularly in relation to the foreign policy of President Trump compared to Joe Biden. They explore the challenges facing the U.S. in reasserting its authority on the world stage, the importance of military strength, and the need for a realistic approach to international relations. The discussion also touches on the reactions of other countries to Trump's leadership and the concept of 'America First' as a common-sense approach to foreign policy.

The Index of U.S. Military Strength(Lt. Col. James Carafano) James Jay Carafano is Senior Counselor to the President and E.W. Richardson Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. A leading expert in national security and foreign policy challenges, Carafano previously served as the Vice President of Heritage's Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy. Carafano is an accomplished historian and teacher as well as a prolific writer and researcher. His most recent publication is “Brutal War” (Lynne Reinner, 2021), a study of combat in the Southwest Pacific. He also authored “Wiki at War: Conflict in a Socially Networked World” (Texas A&M University Press, 2012), a survey of the revolutionary impact of the Internet age on national security. He was selected from thousands to speak on cyber warfare at the 2014 South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference in Austin, Texas, the nation's premier tech and social media conference. Before assuming responsibility for Heritage's entire defense and foreign policy team in December 2012, Carafano had served as deputy director of the Davis Institute as well as director of its Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies since 2009. His recent research has focused on developing the national security required to secure the long-term interests of the United States—protecting the public, providing for economic growth and preserving civil liberties. (Many of his writings for Heritage appear below.) He is editor of a book series, The Changing Face of War, which examines how emerging political, social, economic and cultural trends will affect the nature of armed conflict. From 2012 to 2014 and 2020 to 2021, he served on the Homeland Security Advisory Council convened by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Carafano, a 25-year Army veteran with a master's and doctorate from Georgetown University, joined Heritage in 2003 as a senior research fellow in homeland security and missile defense. He worked with Kim R. Holmes, his predecessor as vice president and director of Davis Institute, to produce Heritage's groundbreaking documentary film “33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age.” Carafano now directs Heritage's team of foreign and defense policy experts in five centers on the front lines of international affairs: the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, the Asian Studies Center, the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, the Border Security and Immigration Center, and the Center for National Defense.  Carafano served as president of a nonprofit organization, Esprit de Corps, which educated the public about veteran affairs. In this capacity he co-produced and co-wrote the documentaries “Veteran Nation,” an official selection of the 2013 G.I. Film Festival, and “Why We Fight: 9/11 and America's Longest War” (2018).  Before coming to Heritage, Carafano was a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a Washington policy institute dedicated to defense issues. In his Army career, Carafano served in Europe, Korea and the United States. His assignments included head speechwriter for the Army Chief of Staff, the service's highest-ranking officer. Before retiring, Carafano was executive editor of Joint Force Quarterly, the Defense Department's premiere professional military journal. A graduate of West Point, Carafano holds a master's degree and a doctorate from Georgetown University as well as a master's degree in strategy from the U.S. Army War College.

The Russian war economy is not doing well. But it seems like there is an attritional race on – will the Russian war machine collapse before the will and resolve of Ukraine's allies, to support it for victory. Is it time to let go of the idea that Russia has endless resources to continue the war indefinitely, and that historically is not uncommon for Russia to lose wars – and catastrophically, without the country, and indeed the world, ceasing to exist. The next six months will likely prove crucial, and we'll be exploring these issues today with Anders Puck Nielsen. ---------- GUEST: Anders Puck Nielsen - YouTuber and military analyst.

The United States military exercises a continuous presence globally, intended to safeguard American interests and those of our allies. Unfortunately, the armed services are now confronted with marked challenges, including understaffing and an escalating engagement in unstable areas during President Biden's stint in power. Notably, a recent study suggests that the nation has reached a pivotal point where the capability of the military to adequately safeguard the country is uncertain. Derived from the Heritage Foundation's 2024 Index of U.S. Military Strength, this serves as an assessment of our military might. The overseer of this report, retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Dakota Wood, has given the current circumstances surrounding the US military a rating of 'weak.' During 2023, from the tensions in Ukraine and Israel to the US taking up the mantle in the Middle East's rising instability, issues of concern were spotlighted. Factors contributing to this include deficiencies in ammunition and weaponry reserves. Additionally, it became evident that at present, the U.S. military might struggle to meet the demands of simultaneous involvement in multiple emergencies worldwide. The document's introduction states the U.S. military is in considerable danger of not safeguarding vital national interests as it currently stands. For the second consecutive year, the U.S. military has achieved a ‘weak' rating. This is assessed relative to the force necessary to protect national global interests against real-world challenges, not as we would prefer them to be. It was observed that not only each branch of the military, but also the national nuclear and missile defense systems, are grappling with problems.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most Americans do not realize the sorry state the U.S. military is in. Following years of overextension, deployments, and a lack of prioritizing defense spending on what is needed to fight and win America's wars, the military is far from the strong force built by Ronald Reagan to defeat the Soviets. The tenth edition of The Heritage Foundation's Index of U.S. Military Strength makes that clear. With adversaries growing in strength and causing chaos in nearly every corner of the globe, coupled with a new Cold War with China, this weakness only makes the world more dangerous. But American military power can be restored if the urgency is felt, and the right actions are taken now.Join us for a conversation with Senator Roger Wicker, followed by a panel with retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, noted grand strategist Elbridge Colby, and former Green Beret Joe Kent on how we can reverse a decade of decline and restore America's military power.

Former President Donald Trump defeated former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley by ten points in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday. As the race continues, Trump continues to win support from members of the Republican Party, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramaswamy, all of whom have suspended their campaigns. Kansas Senator Roger Marshall endorsed Trump in the 2024 race and says there is "no path to victory" for Haley. He joins the Rundown to discuss the results of the primary, why the country needs to secure the border, and the need for lawmakers to continue investigating the origins of COVID-19. As conflicts in the Middle East continue to escalate, questions about America's military readiness are being posed by government officials.

Is the United States Military weak? The Heritage Foundation has fired a shot across the bow with its “2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength.” The Index concludes that the U.S. military in its current posture is “weak.” The Pentagon might not like the report. But, my guest, Dakota Wood, is calling things as they are rather than the way people would like them to be.  “Nobody likes their baby being called ugly. But the facts are what they are.” -Dakota Wood The 2023 Index starts with an assessment of the operating environment from Europe to the Indo-Pacific. Dakota explains that the Index is looking at American military power within a two major-regional conflict (MRC) framework. The Index analyses enemy threats through the lens of “intent and capability.” The focus is on Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and terrorist groups like ISIS. The Index then shifts to a detailed overview of each U.S. military branch in terms of capacity, capability, and readiness. After grading each branch individually, the Index comes up with an aggregate grade of “weak.” This is not an indictment on any individual service member or unit. Dakota explains that this is a combination of years of underfunding, misuse of resources, and a “profound lack of seriousness.”  Topics of discussion: The purpose behind the Index and its target audience How two major-regional conflicts (MRCs) was developed as the framework for the Index Why the Index assesses the overall operating environment as “favorable” We dive into two specific “competitors”: Russia and China Breaking down U.S. service branches: The Army is “marginal”; the U.S. Navy is “weak”; the Air Force is “very weak”; the Marine Corps is “strong”; the Space Force is “weak”; and nuclear capabilities are “strong” but trending toward “marginal” Find the “2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength” at www.Heritage.org/military  Connect with Dakota on LinkedIn and follow him at The Heritage Foundation About the guest: Dakota Wood is a Senior Research Fellow, Defense Programs, Center for National Defense at The Heritage Foundation. He served America for two decades in the U.S. Marine Corps. His research and writing focuses on programs, capabilities, operational concepts, and strategies of the U.S. Department of Defense and military services to assess their utility in ensuring the United States has the ability to protect and promote its critical national security interests.

A couple of weeks ago, the conservative Heritage Foundation published its 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength. At that time, we discussed the Index's findings with the editor, Dakota Wood. The Heritage study concluded that the current U.S. military is at significant risk of not being able to meet the demands of a single major regional conflict.  We wanted another point of view on the current U.S. military posture. So this week, we asked longtime observer and critic of the U.S. military procurement process, Winslow Wheeler, to talk with us. He has spent over 40 years working on national security defense budgets and military reform for both political parties, the Government Accountability Office and the Center for Defense Information.        Learn more about your ad choices.

In October, the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC, released its 578-page 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Dakota Wood edited the Index, which includes essays and analysis from over 16 experts chosen by the Heritage Foundation. The introduction to the Index concludes: "America's leadership role remains in question, and its security interests are under substantial pressure. Challenges continue to grow, long-standing allies are not what they once were, and the U.S. is increasingly bedeviled by debt and domestic discord that constrain its ability to sustain its forces at a level that is commensurate with its interests." Lt. Col. Wood joins us to talk about the findings.      Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dakota L. Wood, who served America for two decades in the U.S. Marine Corps, is the senior research fellow for Defense Programs at The Heritage Foundation. Wood's research and writing focus on programs, capabilities, operational concepts, and strategies of the U.S. Department of Defense and military services to assess their utility in ensuring the United States has the ability to protect and promote its critical national security interests. Mr. Wood originated and serves as the editor for Heritage's “Index of U.S. Military Strength,” the only annual assessment available to the public of the status of America's military and its ability to carry out its core functions. Wood retired from the U.S. Marine Corps as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2005. During his service as a Marine, he served with a variety of operational units and in various high-level staff assignments. He participated in the planning and execution of operations around the world to include Operation Enduring Freedom, when he served as a lead operational/logistics planner for U.S. Central Command during the initial operational response to the attacks of Sept 11, 2001, and then as a by-name request in late 2002 to augment and lead operational analysis and logistics planning and execution efforts in support of Marine Corps combat forces for the invasion phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom to depose Saddam Hussein.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you miss any of The Rich Zeoli Show this week? It's ok. We forgive you. But now is your chance to catch-up on all the action: Harvard University's endowment has shrunk by $2.3 billion (a 1.8% negative return)—this comes after the school announced it would discontinue investments within the fossil fuel industry. According to reporting from the Daily Wire, in a letter, Harvard Management Company CEO N.P. Narvekar wrote, Harvard's abandonment of new fossil fuel investments “weighed upon performance.” Similarly, BlackRock has seen its stock downgraded over its embrace of “environmental, social, and governance movement” investing strategies. Chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann has been accused of cheating—with some suspecting he has been using a “wireless device” that he “inserted into his rectum.” At the US Chess Championships, Niemann underwent a hilarious metal detector sweep. Niemann has admitted to cheating in the past. According to the Heritage Foundation's 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, the nation's military may not have the capability to successfully wage war in two areas of conflict simultaneously. Alarmingly, the report stated of the U.S. Airforce: “even though the munitions stockpile may have returned to a level that is capable of supporting a surge in expenditures associated with a conflict similar to the global war on terrorism—loosely encompassing operations in Afghanistan and Iraq—it probably would not support a peer-level fight that lasted more than a few weeks.” The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is denying they had anything to do with a series of postings warning of potential Bigfoot encounters in state parks. In a statement, the department emphasized: “Bigfoot is not real.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:  6:05pm- Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano—Republican Candidate for Pennsylvania Governor—joins the show to talk about the CDC's advisory committee voting to recommend COVID-19 vaccines be added to the childhood immunization schedule. Sen. Mastriano states that he will not compel parents or children to receive the vaccine in order to attend public school, if elected governor.   6:15pm- While speaking via Zoom at Stanford University, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine criticized state laws that prevent children from undergoing “gender affirming” medical procedures.    6:30pm- According to reports, Georgia has broken a state record for most first-day early voting ballots cast in a midterm election—with other 131,000. However, Democrat candidate for Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams continues to insist that voter suppression is rampant in the state.    6:45pm- According to the Heritage Foundation's 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, the nation's military may not have the capability to successfully wage war in two areas of conflict simultaneously. Alarmingly, the report stated of the U.S. Airforce: “even though the munitions stockpile may have returned to a level that is capable of supporting a surge in expenditures associated with a conflict similar to the global war on terrorism—loosely encompassing operations in Afghanistan and Iraq—it probably would not support a peer-level fight that lasted more than a few weeks.”   6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? + Zeoli's Final Thought

3:05pm- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) advisory committee voted to recommend COVID-19 vaccines be added to the childhood immunization schedule—which could potentially result in vaccination being required in order to attend public schools. While appearing on Fox News prior to the recommendation officially being made, Johns Hopkins Professor Dr. Marty Makary explained that the CDC's guidance is being issued despite no clinical data supporting vaccination against COVID-19 for young children being made available to the public.    3:20pm- While visiting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden delivered a 20-minute speech touting his Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and appeared alongside Senate candidate John Fetterman.   3:40pm- Ben Weingarten—Columnist at RealClearInvestigation—joins the show to talk about his latest project, “Invisible Hand or Iron Fist? RealClearInvestigations' Guide to Politicized Capitalism,” which operates as “a one-stop trove of resources allowing readers, including investors, to survey today's politically charged corporate battlefield and assess how companies are influencing American politics from outside the voting booth, and being influenced themselves.”   4:10pm- MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell is facing criticism following a “softball interview” with Democrat candidate for Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. During the interview, Mitchell did not ask a single question about high-crime-rates in Pennsylvania. Mediaite's Jackson Richman writes: “Both violent and property crime in Pennsylvania have only increased over the past year. As of Oct. 13, there have been 429 homicides in Philadelphia in 2022, just three fewer homicides than the number of them at this point in 2021. The number of armed and non-armed robberies in the City of Brotherly Love has skyrocketed year-over-year.”   4:35pm- The Daily Caller's Jack McEvoy described President Joe Biden's claim that he hasn't done anything to hinder domestic oil production as “disingenuous.” He writes: “the Biden administration has instituted a regulatory crackdown on producers and discouraged investment in the industry while blaming oil and gas companies for the resulting shortages and price hikes.”   4:50pm- During his monologue on Wednesday night, MSNBC host Chris Hayes stated, “keeping gas prices low is key to preserving and strengthening the future of our democracy” because price stability will, theoretically, lead to people voting Democrat over Republican during the 2022 midterms.    5:05pm- During a recent debate, Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton (D-Virginia) claimed that high gas prices emphasize the need to transition to Green Energy.   5:10pm- According to a Rolling Stone Magazine report from Tatiana Siegel, Emmy award-winning producer James Gordon Meek—who was in the process of investigating the Biden Administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan—had his home raided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has remained out of the public spotlight since.    5:30pm- Dr. Mehmet Oz—Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate representing Pennsylvania—joins the show to talk about the biggest issues being debated in the 2022 midterm elections: the economy, high crime-rates, and education. Biden continues to deplete the nation's petroleum reserves while denying responsibility for increased gas prices. Dr. Oz explains how Pennsylvania fracking can help America become energy independent.   5:55pm- Time to Reduce the Load: U.S. developed “green technology” but gave it away to China, robot cops with shotguns, Jeff Bezos' economic warning, Elon Musk's feud with Ukrainian officials.   6:05pm- Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano—Republican Candidate for Pennsylvania Governor—joins the show to talk about the CDC's advisory committee voting to recommend COVID-19 vaccines be added to the childhood immunization schedule. Sen. Mastriano states that he will not compel parents or children to receive the vaccine in order to attend public school, if elected governor.   6:15pm- While speaking via Zoom at Stanford University, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine criticized state laws that prevent children from undergoing “gender affirming” medical procedures.    6:30pm- According to reports, Georgia has broken a state record for most first-day early voting ballots cast in a midterm election—with over 131,000.

The U.S. military not only is weak overall but “at growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America's vital national interests,” according to a new report from The Heritage Foundation. On Tuesday, Heritage released its 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, a document of nearly 600 pages that assesses the strength of America's armed forces. “In our index, we score or measure the status of American military power in the year that's just passed. Over years, you can start to see trends and you can see the implications for the United States, and our foreign policy, and economic health, and those sorts of things,” says Dakota Wood, a senior research fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Center for National Defense. (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.) “I think it's the easiest way to think about it, is how did the Army do? The Navy, the Air Force, and [other] military services? And what was the nature of the world?” Wood, who served for over two decades as a Marine, says. Wood joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to break down the findings of the Index of U.S. Military Strength, how America's military compares to that of China, and what he hopes Americans will take away from the report.

The American military forces are in a diminished state, as readiness issues, old equipment, and a lack of capacity calls into question its ability to defend the United States and its interests. The conclusions of The Heritage Foundation's 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength indicate the force is too small, too old, and too unready to meet the challenges posed by adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and global terrorist organizations.As the military threat from the People's Republic of China grows by the day, this year's report card on the services should be a sobering wake up call to anyone who wants to keep America free, safe, and prosperous in a changing world.

As the Jews prospered, they did what most nations do: they trusted in their wealth, wisdom, and military power. They took pride in their tolerance of new or formerly taboo ideas. And they gave glory to false gods. All of this provoked the terrifying wrath of God. They can't say they weren't warned.

We're getting back to my hypertext series with a big of an obscure tale. ZOG is a hypertext system what was first developed in 1972 at Carnegie-Melon University. It then stagnated until the latter half of the 1970s when it was picked back up. By 1983 it was cruising on a US Navy aircraft carrier. ZOG presents a hypertext system with some very modern notions. But here's the part that gets me excited: ZOG was developed after Doug Engelbart's Mother of All Demos. So, in theory, ZOG should take ques from this seminal event.

It was recently reported that China tested a new hypersonic missile in August. This nuclear-capable rocket circled the globe and apparently took U.S. intelligence by surprise. So what does this mean for the U.S.? Do we have the ability to stop a missile traveling at 10,000 miles per hour traveling through space? As we continue to see our adversaries become more forward in their development, it's important to continue asking if the U.S. is able to adequately defend against all the threats that exist. On this episode Dakota Wood talks about the state of our preparedness, and uses the 2022 Index of Military Strength to demonstrate why the U.S. is only marginally able to defend America's vital national interests.You can read the Index here:2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With aging equipment, a lack of adequate funding, and limited production capabilities, the U.S. military is ranked "marginal" at best. That's the conclusion of the 2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength, an annual report from The Heritage Foundation that assesses the status of the military and the global threat level to the United States, which was released Wednesday."It's right there on the edge. It could handle one major war for, we believe, a limited period of time, but it couldn't do anything other than that," said Dakota Wood, the lead editor of the index and a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation's Center for National Defense. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)Wood joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the findings of the latest index.We also cover these stories:The White House is preparing a plan to vaccinate children against COVID-19 pending the approval of the Food and Drug Administration.New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announces that the city will extend its COVID-19 vaccine mandate to all public employees, as well as remove the option to opt out of vaccination through regular testing.Democrats announce plans to alter a proposal that would give the IRS the authority to obtain information on Americans' bank transactions.

The 2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength is The Heritage Foundation's eighth annual assessment of the United States Armed Forces' ability to provide for the common defense. This year's assessment reflects that progress has been made in building up America's military forces in some areas, but a great deal of work remains and there are storm clouds on the horizon as President Biden's 2022 defense budget request proposed to underfund a number of key capabilities. This year's Index provides a fresh, authoritative assessment of the U.S. military and updates on major threats to U.S. interests and the ability of allies to contribute to common security interests, along with a new chapter on Cyber and brand-new scoring for the U.S. Space Force. This highly anticipated event will feature keynote remarks from Representative Mike Rogers, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee. Representative Rogers is one of the leading voices in Congress for of a strong national defense, and brings a unique perspective on the challenges facing America's military based on his experience in Congress.

On the one hand, the U.S. military is still far-and-away the most powerful fighting force in the world. But compared to the actual missions it's being asked to perform and the range of threats the U.S. faces, it has some areas of weakness, and they're growing weaker. Those are the conclusions of the Heritage Foundation's annual Index of U.S. Military Strength. Tom Spoehr is the director of the Center for National Defense at Heritage. He talked the Federal Drive about the findings of this year's index.

Dakota Wood, Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, visited the Institute of World Politics to talk about the 2016 Index of U.S. Military Strength, an annual analysis of the military's readiness and defense capabilities.
