On June 13, military veterans and their families and supporters protested in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, demanding that taxpayer dollars for Donald Trump's ill-fated military parade and his decision to send troops to Los Angeles should be used instead for housing, healthcare, food, and taking care of veterans. Around 60 demonstrators were arrested by Capitol police. In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with veterans Michael  T.  McPhearson, Kevin Benderman, and Amber Mathwig, two of whom were arrested on June 13, about the duty they feel to oppose the Trump administration's actions and the vital role veterans have to play in the larger fight against the Trump agenda.Guests:Michael T. McPhearson enlisted in the US Army Reserve while in high school at age 17 in 1981. A distinguished military graduate, McPhearson received an ROTC commission from Campbell University. He served five years on active duty as a field artillery officer in the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division during Operation Desert Shield/Storm (the Gulf War). McPhearson separated from the US Army as a Captain in 1992. He is a member and the Executive Director of Veterans for Peace. He lives in Seattle, Washington.Kevin Benderman served in the US Army for ten years of active duty, eventually reaching the rank of E-5. He deployed to Iraq in 2003. He became opposed to the continued occupation of Iraq after his initial deployment, and he filed for conscientious objector status and was eventually court-martialed. He is a disabled veteran and lives in Augusta, Georgia. Kevin is a longtime member of About Face: Veterans Against the War.Amber Mathwig enlisted in the US Navy in 2002, serving 10 years in various duty stations, including a deployment to Baghdad, Iraq, in 2008-2009 and a deployment to the Middle East in 2010-2011 on a ship that participated in the bombing of Libya. These experiences, combined with what she witnessed in regards to the culture of sexism and sexual assault in the military, sparked her journey to understanding the stranglehold the military-industrial complex has on our country. In addition to being a longtime member of About Face: Veterans Against the War, she is a member of Teamsters Local 638, and an organizer who focuses on the intersection of labor and the military-industrial complex. Additional resources:Veterans for Peace websiteAbout Face: Veterans Against the War websiteKatie Bauer, HuffPost, “Storming the steps of the Capitol: Why I got arrested with other veterans to protest Trump”Credits:Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: David HebdenAudio Post-Production: Stephen FrankFollow The Marc Steiner Show on Spotify Follow The Marc Steiner Show on Apple PodcastsHelp us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Allan, Luke, and Zoe got together to break down the cast for The Challenge Season 41. This was originally gonna be uploaded as a single podcast, but it got so long that we had to split it up into two podcasts. First we talk about the vets and then in a second video, we'll talking about the rookies. 

Harvey and Jim share clips from important people on the national and international scene that you will never hear on the mainstream media. We start with an update and audio from the protests that ended the VFP-40 day fast to demand an end to genocide. We hear from co-organizer Phil Tottenham and Joy Metzger. We then turn to voices who are educating us on the issues of the day and thus pleading with us to take action. They also provide an opportunity to dream of better days. The voices include Clare Daly, Francesca Albanese, Zehra Imam, and Yanis Varoufakis.

NSFW   We're getting into the first of our listener mail segments, and it's the usual drugs and sex content you come here for week after week. What's the appropriate level of embarrassment to feel after your vet surgically removes a sex toy out of your dog?  If my dog starts acting funny after our walk through Portland, what are the signs for ingesting marijuana vs. methadone vs. methamphetamine?  Does my dog lead a double life as a rock star with all these sex toys and drugs they're ingesting? How can I lead a life more like my dog?   You can get the answer to all these questions and more, this season on The Vets Unleashed!   This Week's Drink:   The Foreign Body   1 oz Vodka 1 oz Dark Rum ½ oz Blue Curacao Simple Syrup (to taste) Lemon Juice (to taste) Raspberries (for foreign bodies)  

It's the Fourth of July, and she might be a little dinged up, but after 249 years, America is still standing. And she will keep standing as long as there are independent Americans out there to stay vigilant and ensure that the torch that Lady Liberty holds high above her head as a beacon for all stays lit. And this show will always stay vigilant. Especially on Independence Day. Or INDEPENDENTS Day! It's a time for us all to reflect on what independence really means. And explore who will stand up now and fight for it. Men and women of all backgrounds—united in a love for America. And a dedication to making it better.  Men and women like the fine residents of New York's 17th that are represented by this episode's guest. He's Republican Congressman Mike Lawler—and he's here to mix it up with Paul and react to the New York mayor's race, Ukraine, the AUMF, Trump's Iran strikes, the dropping popularity of his party, and his support for veterans. He's been effective in representing a rare moderate perspective inside the GOP. It's how he has won in a 2 to 1 Democrat district. And how he might try and win the New York governor's seat next year. It's America's birthday and after the start to this year, we could all use a break. So put your feet up, kick back and press play. Listen now or watch us on YouTube.  Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 341. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 49% of Americans that call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Tim Hixson_____________________________________________________________ Hi Vic and Ken,Thank you for doing this. This is a short story about my great grandfather, Matthew Hixson, who fought in the American Revolution. God bless.Sincerely,Tim Hixson Name/Rank: Matthew Hixson, Private & Colonel, enlisted at Ringo’s Tavern, New Market, NJ Colony summer of 1775Branch/Battalion: New Jersey Colonial Militia, later Continental Army, during the American RevolutionDate of Service: Served: summer 1775 until fall of 1778Awards/Medals: None known. Matthew Hixson was my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. He was born in 1757 in the town of New Market, Colony of New Jersey. He was one of three brothers who served during the American Revolution. During his 3 years of service he was stationed in and around various townships around New Jersey and New York primarily, serving as a private first in the NJ Militia and later the Continental Army. However, during his last posting in 1778 he held the rank of Colonel for 10 days before his final discharge, no idea why! He married my great (times 8!) grandmother Catherine Hogg in 1779 and eventually moved to Ohio and bought a farm north east of Cincinnati. While we don’t know what if any combat he might have seen as he apparently never talked about it during his life, we know from his own words how in 1832 he finally received notification of the promised veterans pension him and his fellow soldiers were originally promised by the Continental Congress during the War and later the US government. He was 75 years at the time, and he still had to wait another year for it to arrive. In 1833 $100 from the US government was sent to a solicitor (lawyer) in his son’s name for 2 and a half years pension. When Matthew died in 1838 and his debts were paid and remaining estate split among his children, it was realized that he never actually saw a cent of any of that pension the few years he received it. So, for those veterans alive today still dealing with all the troubles in the VA, take heart…the guys who fought in our first war as a nation had to go through similar crap in their day. Vic and Ken, love your show. Thanks to my grandfather, I’ve discovered I’ve got a little bit of New Jersey in me too! God bless! ________________________________________________________________ This is today’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America on NewsTalkSTL.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Sandra D _____________________________________________________________ Vic and KenDad would be against me telling people what he did, because he didn't have to go to combat. But he was prepared to be on a landing craft heading toward the shore of Japan. He always said he wasn't afraid, which might be why they tested him to be a frogman. There was something in his makeup that did not register fear. I saw that over and over. I think he got that job because he was a little knowledgeable about motors and equipment, having been on a farm. So if the motor of the landing craft went down, Pop could have worked on it. So think about this: Pop knew he might have to work on an engine on a landing craft off the shore of Japan while he was being shot at. He was okay with that. Because he knew he had to be. Here is my submission:Pop was drafted in the fall of 1944[, which was remarkable in itself. It meant that the US was so hungry for soldiers and sailors that even young farmers were being drafted and that women, old men, and kids were left to feed the country. But ]the US was ramping up to invade Japan. Pop was assigned to the Navy. [After training at Great Lakes near Chicago, he was tested to become a frogman at Fort Pierce, Florida. Frogmen were the precursors to the Navy Seals. It bothered him to the day he died that he did not pass one test to go on to the next level. My guess is, as a frogman, he would have been used to swim to the shores of Japan and blow up obstacles to landing craft. Instead, ]In 1945, he trained to crew a landing craft to invade Japan. They were told that one half of them would die. They were also told that they would know their chances of survival based upon what "wave" they were in. He was 20 years old when he was told to contemplate dying. We know how it ended, the atomic bomb meant that Pop never shipped out from Norfolk to the Pacific. Instead, in the spring of 1946, he was assigned to the engine room of the USS Missouri and sent all the way to Istanbul, Turkey. This was a way for President Truman to tell the Soviet Union to "back off." My father loved that ship so much, that I think if they had told him he could have stayed on it, he would not have come back and married my mother whom he had known for her entire life. (And loved. I have the Valentine he gave her in the 1930s to prove it.) My father never wanted to be recognized for his service because he did not go into combat. He knew people who did. He was incredibly loyal to family members who suffered alcoholism because of being in combat in the War and in Korea. But he was prepared to drive a landing craft with troops onto the shores of Japan. And, if he lived through doing it once, I have no doubt he would have backed that craft up and done it again. His entire life, he did whatever it took. Thank you for recognizing Pop.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Christopher Slater _____________________________________________________________ Good morning Ken, Thank you to you and Vic for honoring our military members. My veteran is Specialist (Corporal) David Bixler, Specialist Bixler was assigned to the 1st Ballalion, 320th Field Artillery, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division. On September 30, 2010, Specialist Bixler was on patrol in heavily mined farmland in the Arghandab(AR-CON DOB) River Valley in Afghanistan. He was leading a team of three Afghan National Army Soldiers, when his unit was ambushed and heavy gunfire ensued. When Bixler saw that one of the Afghan soldiers had veered toward uncleared ground, he ran after him and pushed him to safety. While doing so, Bixler stepped on an improvised explosive device. He suffered the loss of both legs, damage to his spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, and other serious injuries. For his heroic action, Bixler was awarded the Silver Star, as well as a Purple Heart for his wounds. Bixler was the 2011 USO Soldier of the Year. Bixler was evacuated on or about October 1st, 2010, by an Illinois Air National Guard KC-135 tanker aircraft, configured for an aeromedical evacuation flight from Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, to Ramstein Air Base, Germany (close to Landstuhl Military Hospital, Germany, Bixler's destination). Bixler survived his catastrophic wounds, and has since accepted a smart home from Tunnels to Towers (2016) and become successful in the computer industry, owning his own small business, specializing in 3D printed components.

As July 4 approaches, Americans across the country are preparing to honor the sacrifice of our military heroes, many through donations to veterans' charities. But with billions of dollars donated each year, how many people really know where that money goes? Rick Berman, Executive Director of the RAM Foundation, will join me to discuss their new national campaign to help the public give smarter via its nonpartisan, data-driven resource — CharitiesForVets.org.With the Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's ban on medical transitions for minors, there's a critical national conversation happening right now around gender identity, mental health, and the role of parents and professionals. Dr. Kim Metcalfe, an educational psychologist with decades of experience working with children and families, joined me in discussing the topic. She approaches these issues through a child development lens, offering a respectful and science-informed insight into how we arrived at this point, what is missing from the current conversation, and how mental health professionals should approach this polarizing issue. Ron Edwards, host of the Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me to discuss the results of the NYC Democratic primary and recent rulings from the SCOTUS.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Steve Shaw of the band Cottonwood Gunners _____________________________________________________________ Hello Vic and Ken, I would like to submit a story about my great Uncle Charlie Payer. Charlie was my father's favorite uncle as a patient, wonderful uncle who would always take him fishing. Charlie quit high school, lied about his age and enlisted in the Army - Private First Class. He was seventeen when he was shipped to Europe and eventually the Ardennes region where he fought in the Battle fo the Bulge. Sadly when Charlie returned home he attempted suicide twice - he once threw himself off a Highway 44 overpass and he also attempted to kill himself with a shotgun that caved in the left side of his face. I only remember Charlie when I was a young boy and I was scared of him because he was a huge man and the injury to his face scared me. After he had passed away and my father told me the stories, I wish I had known. He was extremely quiet and humble and would never talk about the war. Obviously the things he experienced as a 17 year old had profound effects on him that he struggled with his whole life - although he quietly went about working at a factory until retirement and passing away at 68. Sincerely Steve Shaw Cottonwood Gunners PS: My band Cottonwood Gunners is committed to Veteran's causes and we often write songs honoring them. I have at least one relative who saw action in every war since World War 1. We host a benefit every year to raise money for veterans causes - last year it was for Got Your Six Service Dogs.I would love to send you more info and to offer our services at any time for vet's causes. One quick look at our Facebook shows our commitment: And you are welcome to use any music for bumpers - this one about the Bootheel of Missouri and a veteran family: Much appreciate your consideration. ________________________________________________________________ This is today’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America on NewsTalkSTL.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Mike Marfell from the Bluff City Outdoors Show _____________________________________________________________ Hey Mike Marfell here from the Bluff City Outdoors Show submitting this in behalf of my late Father 32 years in the Illinois Air National Guard. Allen E Marfell was born July 20th, 1937 and passed August 12th 2019. Allen joined the Air National Guard 183rd Tactical Fighter wing unit in 1955 at the age of 18 Allen served in this Unit based out of Springfield, Illinois for 31 years where he then retired as Master Sergeant on the flight line. He had multiple deployments overseas including Great Britain, France and Italy. He was also active during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He loved his service and made lifelong friendships. As his children we have great memories of seeing him in his uniform and feeling great pride in his service. Every summer he would spend a month in Wisconsin with his Unit and we would follow and vacation there. Also there were innumerable air shows we attended as a family sitting on the flight line and feeling tremendous pride that our father was part of this. When he passed many years later in 2019 many fellow service members attended his funeral with military rites. Some of these men we had never met but they came to show their respect 20 some years after his retirement. They shared great stories of him and his service, one of our favorites of him driving a truck on the flight line with a cigar hanging out of his mouth. Serving their country together had built lifelong friendships and an unbreakable bond. Two of Allen's grandsons followed in his footsteps with military service. Tyler A Robinett served 11 years in the 82nd Airborne ending rank of Captain & Graduated Ranger School. Spencer Marfell currently serving in Idiana Army National Guard Airborn Infantry C Co 2-134 IN (ABN) Rank - Specialist with 3 years served and a 1 year deployment to Kenya Africa. ________________________________________________________________ This is today’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America on NewsTalkSTL.

What does real advocacy look like when it's led by those who've lived it? In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Alexa Rice and Jimmie Smith—two dedicated leaders at Concerned Veterans for America—about their trip to Capitol Hill for Vets on the Hill, one of the most powerful veteran-driven advocacy events in the country. Alexa, attending for the first time, and Jimmie, a seasoned CVA leader and U.S. Army veteran, share why this mission matters. Their focus: fighting for greater health care choice through the Veterans Access Act, ensuring veterans can seek timely care in their communities if the VA falls short. They also advocate for keeping the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which supports the high rate of veteran entrepreneurship, and call for a smarter, right-sized foreign policy that puts American interests first and avoids endless wars. This episode dives deep into the personal motivations that fuel their work, the unique power of the veteran voice in policy discussions, and how real change starts with individuals sharing their stories directly with lawmakers. Whether you're a veteran, policymaker, or someone who simply cares about protecting freedom and opportunity—you'll leave inspired by what these two are doing to make a difference.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Peter (Andre) Brown_____________________________________________________________ Good Morning, There are two Vets I would like to recognize via your Vic to Vets. First: Vipot Lopitakwong (pronounced Vee-pot La-pit-a-wong), Lance Corporal, United States Marine Corps. Nov. 4th 1995 to June 1 2015. I met Vipot in boot camp in 2014 and he quickly became my best friend and bother in the Marine Corps. Unfortunately he was killed in a car crash in 2015 a few days before we were to meet up for some fishing in the Gulf down in Texas. I mess him very much. Rest in peace my friend! Second: Corporal Jeffrey Lucey United States Marine Corps, a man I never met yet I is a touch stone when things get rough for me. A brother Marine Jeffrey was an Iraq war veteran. He served 5 months in country with the 6th Motor Transport Battalion. Unfortunately as is far to common, on June 22, 2004 Corporal Lucey took his own life at age 23. Tom Waits wrote and sang a song based on his letters and final note to his family. It is both a tribute and a haunting reminder of what our brave me and women go through to keep our Country free. Jeffrey Lucey, Corporal, United State Marine Corps, rest easy brother.

Today we're hearing how veterans are being healed by the power of music, and collaborations with the organization “Songwriting with Soldiers”. Air Force veteran Bruce Anderson, his wife Lesley and SW:S Music Director Jay Clementi share how these weekend retreats pair award-winning songwriters with veterans to create songs that help them tell their story and bring them closure. (Clementi's credits include hit songs with Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker, Sara Evans, Martina McBride, and more) We start with a look at Anderson's deployments during the Global War on Terror. Anderson and his wife Lesley brilliantly recall the troubles he experienced after returning from war, and how they took a chance on attending a SW:S weekend retreat. The Andersons describe the origin of their song, “The Man You Used to Know,” and how writing it with hit songwriter Trent Willmon, was more powerful than any medicine. Jay Clementi describes the “Songwriting with Soldiers” writing process and a new music initiative where select songs from these powerful retreats are fully produced by award-winning Nashville producers and now available on all major streaming platforms.

America needs leaders. And leaders are in short supply. That seems to be the case in Washington at least. Whether it's Pete Hegseth's ongoing hateful attacks on the LGBTQ service members under his command or his self aggrandizing ad or the ongoing chaos at the Pentagon, none of it is efficient and none of it is making any of us any safer. America needs leaders. They're out there. And more and more frequently they aren't claiming either political party. Independent leaders we've profiled in recent episodes. Independent leaders like Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade, independent candidate for Senate from South Dakota Brian Bengs, Independent candidate for Mayor of New York Jim Walden. The future is independent—and chances are good that you're going to hear from those leaders of the future here, first. That includes Chattanooga, Tennessee Mayor Tim Kelly. He's just gotten reelected for a second term by a huge margin. And that's in large part because he's getting hard things done. Housing, crime, community relations and making the trains run on time. And, fixing potholes! He's also bringing business, international sports and excitement to this important crossroads American city. Much of what Kelly had been doing and saying in Chattanooga could be a model for the rest of America. And he could be running for higher office one day down the line.  Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 337. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 49% of Americans that call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy.
