Happy 250th birthday to the Marine Corps, and Semper Fi to all my leatherneck comrades. And in the spirit of the devil dogs, know that Democrats are about to get electric shock to their tiny testicles over the next 3 years, and it starts NOW.From their loss in shutting down the government to the exposes coming on J6 and the multitude of other crimes, Christmas will come daily for Conservatives...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

CannCon, JB White, and Cam Cooksey are back with an uproarious Marine Corps birthday episode of Y Chromes, celebrating 250 years of Semper Fi spirit and plenty of friendly trash talk. The guys kick things off with NFL highlights, laughter at Alpha's missing streak after his team's losses, and a recap of the now-legendary Badlands beach football game at GART Cocoa Beach. Between fantasy football banter and talk of bruised egos, they dive into Trump's unforgettable NFL broadcast moment and a wild discussion on gender roles, relationships, and cultural traditions. From debates about feminism and serving your man's plate to military humor, death metal, and Miss Chile's shocking performance, no topic is off-limits. The crew wraps up with pure chaos, laughter, and a plug for Soft Disclosure, officially “Black man approved.”

Semper Fi & America's Fund Chief Program Officer, Case Management East, Karen Hetherington, highlights her organization's initiative to serve veterans and their families. She explains some of the services the organization provides and upcoming volunteer opportunities. As a military spouse herself, Karen understands firsthand the experiences of military family members.

What does it take to be truly transformed?In the Marine Corps, transformation begins the moment you surrender to something bigger than yourself. The same is true in faith. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow reveal how the mindset of a Marine mirrors the walk of a Christian—where discipline, obedience, and unity are not optional. Are you submitting to the mission of Christ? Are you standing shoulder to shoulder with others in the fight for the Truth? Or are you still trying to do it alone? As the Marine Corps marks its 250th birthday on November 10, we honor the brotherhood, discipline, and sacrifice that continue to inspire every follower of Christ to live with courage and conviction. Discover why transformation doesn’t happen in isolation—and why we’re better together. Listen now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.

Today's guest is Billy Birdzell, founder of Horatius Group, an independent investment bank focused on creating exceptional outcomes for founder-led and family-owned businesses, and Horatius Impact, a non-profit dedicated to training and equipping scouts to defend endangered species like rhino and lion from poachers in Africa.  Billy began his career as an infantry and special operations officer in the United States Marine Corps. On September 11, 2001, he was in New York City — an event that would forever shape his path. Soon after, he deployed to Iraq, meeting his platoon in combat and leading Marines through the fight to Baghdad. In this conversation, Billy and Jack discuss what it means to lead in the chaos of war, the relentless push to “just keep moving forward,” and the weapons and gear that defined those early battles.They revisit the Battle of Najaf in August 2004 and the historic January 2005 elections in Iraq, reflecting on the cost and meaning of those moments. Billy shares his journey from conventional infantry operations to Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC), his experiences training for special operations, attending French language school, and deploying to Africa.The two also look back on their long friendship and Jack's transition from the Teams to becoming an author, before diving into Billy's post-military mission — building Horatius Group and Horatius Impact, and his ongoing work in Africa protecting wildlife and empowering local defenders on the frontlines of conservation.FOLLOW BILLYLinkedIn: @BillyBirdzellWebsite: https://www.horatiusgroup.com FOLLOW JACKInstagram: @JackCarrUSA X:  @JackCarrUSAFacebook:  @JackCarr YouTube:  @JackCarrUSASPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller Bravo Company Manufacturing - https://bravocompanyusa.com/ and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear

The toughest battles don't always happen overseas. Sometimes they hit when you're back home, trying to figure out how to live with injuries, stress, or changes you never saw coming. Karen Hetherington knows this firsthand. She's part of the team at Semper Fi & America's Fund, and she has spent years walking alongside service members and their families during some of their most challenging moments. In this conversation, Karen shares how The Fund got its start and how it's grown into a lifeline for thousands of veterans. We talk about the little things that make a big difference, like covering bills while a family sits through long hospital stays, and the big things, like connecting someone with life-changing medical treatment or helping them find a new purpose after leaving the military. You'll hear about fast action that saved a Marine in crisis, the cutting-edge care that helped an amputee get back on his feet, and why listening closely matters more than any program on paper. The Fund restores independence, eases the weight on families, and proves that no veteran has to figure it out alone.

When the pressure hits, it’s too late to decide who you’ll be. In the military and in aviation, immediate action drills save lives. You rehearse your response before the crisis so when it comes, you act—not panic. The same applies to your faith. If you don’t have your mind made up ahead of time, the world will make it up for you. This week on "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk about how to prepare spiritually before the battle begins—so you can respond to stress, temptation, and conflict with the Truth, not emotion. Have your drills ready. Know the Scripture. Be equipped to stand firm. Listen now at CourageousChristianity.today, on KKHT.com, iHeart Radio, or on select podcast platforms.

This week, we welcome one of our newest members to the Big Fish team, Zachery Weibye, who works in the window, siding, and roofing division at the company.

We even dig into a little bit of football. And as a forewarning, Zachery is a Vikings fan, but try not to hold that against him!

What does it really mean to live with courageous faith? After 300 episodes of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," one truth stands out—faith isn’t passive. It’s active and on mission. Courageous Christianity means standing firm in defense of the Truth and moving forward on offense with compassion, conviction, and action. It means reading the Bible, living it out, and refusing to retreat in a culture that’s lost its way. If America’s faith is in decline, then it’s time for followers of Jesus to rise—stronger, clearer, and more courageous than ever. Join host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow as they mark their 300th episode and answer one defining question: What Does It Mean to Be a Courageous Christian?

In 2024, Warner continued to deliver hits with a steady stream of new singles and milestone performances, including his debut appearances at both CMA Fest and the iconic Country Thunder festival in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin.2025 is already shaping up to be a milestone year for the Nashville authentic country music sensation, marked by the release of his most dynamic project yet.

Freedom of speech isn’t just one of America’s greatest blessings—it’s the foundation of our free civilization. No other nation on earth protects it like we do. But with that freedom comes responsibility. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow take a hard look at what’s happening in our culture—the flood of hateful words, the loss of civility, and the growing temptation to silence voices we disagree with. As Christians, we’re called to something higher. While everyone has the right to speak, followers of Jesus have the responsibility to speak the Truth—with grace, discipline, and courage. This conversation digs into why that matters not only for your faith but for the future of freedom itself.

You can’t back into Heaven. You can’t coast, drift, or reverse your way in. Where is your life headed right now? Every choice is a turn of the wheel. Are you steering by God’s Word—or by the world’s map? What happens when the road gets hard, when persecution rises, or when compromise seems easier than conviction? In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow challenge you to check your direction.

Denny Franklin grew up in nearby Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He is a former United States Marine, who served in the capacity of Small Arms Repairer/Technician (MOS 2111).In this podcast, Denny shares a bit about his troubled youth - getting expelled from school and tearing up the town in his hot rod. It was the positive influence of his brothers, who were all US Marines, which guided him to sign his life away.Denny served in peacetime, just prior to the Vietnam War but he has some great stories of his time in service. I enjoyed my conversation with this Devildog. Semper Fi, Denny!

What kind of leader are you? One who points men to Christ—or one who points them to yourself? Every choice you make communicates to others whom you follow. But if you’re not surrendered to Jesus, what are you really passing on? So, start where leadership begins: will you follow daily in Scripture, in prayer, and in obedience before you ask any man to follow you? In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow tackle a critical truth: real leadership starts with following Christ in humility and obedience.

Loss leaves us with a choice. We can let it break us—or we can let it teach us. Even as we grieve, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, we’re faced with the question: what will we learn? Charlie’s life reflected discipline, conviction, and love for others—even those who disagreed with him. Will we follow that example by being more careful with our words, more disciplined in our thinking, and more committed to showing love even when it’s hard? Or will we allow anger and hate to define us? In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow share a message about learning from loss. They challenge us to honor Charlie’s memory not with despair, but with courageous faith lived out in our families, our communities, and our nation. Don’t just listen—take this to heart.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk on 9/10/25 shook us all. On the eve of the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we were reminded yet again of the deep darkness pressing in on our world. From violent attacks in the United States to tragedies abroad, the evil seems relentless. In moments like this, we need to be reminded of the only way forward—standing firm in Christ. That’s the focus of this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," recorded just 24 hours before this unthinkable act. Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow speak to the reality of our spiritual battlefield, the constant pull of a depraved world, and the hope we have when we trust God completely. As Philippians 2:15 reminds us, God calls us to “shine like stars in the sky” in a warped and crooked generation. Though Charlie’s earthly light is no longer with us, his life seemed to live that out—standing firm and pointing others to the Truth. That same call is before us: to trust God and to do what He says—so that we shine like stars.

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2025   Luke 14:25-33 Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and addressed them, “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.' Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”

We wave the flag—but are we walking in freedom? In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow confront a hard reality. The founders of this country risked everything for liberty rooted in the Truth. Today, that Truth is under attack.

How many battles are you fighting without even being aware you're in the arena?It might seem like everything is “fine”. Sure, you had struggles, some hard times and bad luck, and things that didn't quite go your way. Many people have a story or two about the time they got fucked over BECAUSE they were doing the right thing.That boomerang can spin around and hit you when you least expect it, like it did for Tony Crescenzo.Tony grew up in a family of mechanics. Really, all the men in his family were mechanics, except for one grandfather who retired relatively young and bought a farm. They all lived in that same South Philadelphia neighborhood where the Rocky Balboa character trained for his fights with Apollo Creed. So young Tony worked Saturdays as a mechanic and Sundays on his grandfather's farm, learning the value of good, honest work.Tony's parents divorced. His mother remarried to a Navy officer and they moved to Hawaii. His stepfather's friend was an old-school Marine whose John Wayne-esque tales of service and heroism inspired young Tony to join the Marines. That's where he learned priceless lessons about teamwork, being part of something greater than yourself, and the importance of service. That's until he was assigned to NIS (which is what it was before NCIS), working in criminal investigations to bring down a paycheck scam. As the only witness for the upcoming court-martial of the accused, he soon found himself being court-martialed – and convicted – for a plethora of exaggerated charges, one of which was that he was UA (think AWOL) even though he was on an approved leave!So much for Semper Fi, right? Well, not exactly. Tony did get the conviction reversed, along with a commendation for his service and $20 for his trouble. But he decided to pivot to the private sector, working for, leading, and owning various companies and becoming a sort of “Clint Eastwood” of corporate restructuring. The thing is, his penchant for fighting was affecting every aspect of his life. Both his first and his second wives were used to Tony waking them up in the middle of the night screaming in his sleep. In his own words, he was was one of those people who goes from zero to fuck you in 10 seconds. So things weren't “fine”. It's a four-letter word. And then everything changed when he mis-Googled directions to the CIA.In a moment, when we meet Tony, he is going to give us a master class in accountability, vulnerability, and leadership including the power of meditation and an innovative method he is bringing to market for treating PTSD. As you listen, reflect on the fact that PTSD is not limited to those who have seen death and destruction on the battlefield. It comes in many different forms from triggers you might not even know.Tony's hype song is “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra.

And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of...

For most Americans, the 4th of July means beaches and BBQs — but on that day in 2012, Army Staff Sergeant Monte Bernardo was fighting for his life in Afghanistan. After stepping on an IED, Monte lost both legs and his left arm, beginning a long and grueling recovery. With the help of his family and the Semper Fi & America's Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides lifetime support for critically wounded or ill service members, veterans, and military families, he rebuilt his life — and his mindset. Today, Monte joins Ben to discuss why he has no regrets about what happened while he was fighting for America's freedom, how he was able to keep a positive attitude while going through a painful recovery, and why the 4th of July is now the most important celebration in his life — because it's the day he survived.Find out more about the Semper Fi & America's Fund here: thefund.org Follow Benjamin on X: @BenjaminHallFNC Learn more about your ad choices.

Marines, Marathons, and Meaning: The Legacy of Col. Hank Donigan In this week's Team Neer Quit podcast, Marcus and Melanie speak with Retired Colonel Hank Donigan—a Marine whose life reads like a battle-hardened adventure novel. From his early days jumping out of airplanes at Fort Benning to leading troops through intense combat in Lebanon, Grenada, and Iraq, Col. Donigan has lived a life of sacrifice, courage, and service. A graduate of the Naval Academy and a 30-year Marine Corps veteran, Donigan shares the emotional and physical toll of war, including his own battle with PTSD and traumatic brain injury. Yet, rather than slowing down, he has turned pain into purpose—running marathons nearly every week and using each mile to raise awareness and funds for wounded service members through the Semper Fi & America's Fund. With $85,000 raised in 2023 alone, he stands as the nation's top individual fundraiser for the cause. At 68 years old and 46 marathons deep in a single year, Hank embodies resilience, leadership, and hope. In this episode, hear how staying in shape became both a coping mechanism and a mission to inspire others—and why, if given the chance, he'd proudly come back and do it all again as a United States Marine. Col. Donigan shares his experiences with: ·         Surviving combat in Lebanon and the aftermath of the Beirut barracks bombing ·         The healing power of running and his marathons ·         Raising funds for wounded warriors and their families ·         Leadership, legacy, and living with purpose post-service  In This Episode You Will Hear: • We need to do a better job with American history, and make our kids aware of, and proud of our heritage. (1:47) • I wanted to go where the action was, and was sent to Okinawa to serve battalion force Marines. (11:54) • The Marine Corps made me a runner. (20:36) • I had a grandfather who ran the Boston Marathon in 1916, so I always had this dream of running in it. (22:11) • I was the first Marine Corps finisher [of the Boston Marathon]. (24:24) • Everybody wants to be the popular guy; the likeable guy. But there are some things that your inexperienced troops don't know, and you have to be the hard guy – a bit of a prick. But if you're not willing to do that and you let things slide, people are gonna get hurt and you're not gonna bring everybody home. (31:31) • There was a group of engineers that were out playing football. All of a sudden, the first round came in, and one of the marines hit the deck and his helmet rolled off. The next round came in and a piece of shrapnel took the top of his head off. (32:47) • “Nice guys kill Marines” is something I live by and continue to teach. (33:42) • I learned how critical fitness was to leadership and combat leadership. (35:47) • Marcus, three's things about you, being a SEAL and being a sailor that will be with you till the day you die. (37:45) • I've been able to take veterans in need, and connect them with case workers with a fund and see them get immediate assistance. (41:19) • Walking is good. If you can get 10,000 steps a day, that really adds up to something good for your health.
