After nearly a decade of activism and civil unrest ignited by the often false narratives perpetuated by the corporate media and certain activist groups, we discuss why a recent, fact-based and particularly disturbing police misconduct incident in Mississippi has not garnered the same attention and disobedience, despite having all of the earmarks needed to generate similar demands for police accountability and solutions to these issues. While we provide no quarter for the officers and the police...

Today the guys provide their thoughts on the recent unanimous policy decision presented by the City Council of Ann Arbor, Michigan, that bans their police department from conducting otherwise legal traffic stops for certain minor traffic violations.

So on this episode, we are joined by accomplished Australian schoolteacher, Christian Williams, to discuss how he utilizes entrepreneurship as a way to inspire his students to not only learn and grow but to also give back to their communities.

On this episode, we’re joined by an Ivy League educated attorney who discusses how his stint in one of the most infamous prisons in America has changed his perspectives on crime and society.

On this episode, we discuss how our society's long held commitment to individual rights and responsibilities can quickly dissolve when we have the opportunity to judge an entire group based upon the "bad" actions of an individual. We also ponder the similar standards of judgement that are often applied to the misgivings of both the police and certain members of the public, despite the facts that prove otherwise. All Things Military and Veteran US Veterans and Active Duty Military discuss every...
