The Rob Maness Show

Over the weekend we witnessed Republican Speaker Mike Johnson pass more than $60 billion in more aid to Ukraine without a majority of votes from his own party, even more than we spend every year on our entire Marine Corps, as Senator Paul said. What is the cause in Ukraine though? That is the driving question behind opposition to sending more billions from America to Ukraine. We have asked for and not been told what the desired end state is for the war effort. Is it Ukraine taking all of its lost territory? Does that include Crimea? Unfortunately, all you ever hear from the endless war politicians is that we’re degrading Russia on the cheap! Yes, as disgusting as that is, they actually say it. The other phrase we hear a lot, and did this weekend on the US House of Representatives floor is “we will defend Ukraine at all costs” and no one ever explains it because what that means is that we will fight until the last Ukrainian is dead, and then we’ll throw American kids into the meatgrinder in this totally unnecessary war. Hundreds of thousands dead and more to come now that the war will grind on for a few more months with this new aid package. My guest today is retired US Navy commander, author, college professor, and former senior DHS official Randy Arrington.

We live in a time where average patriotic Americans are being labeled "domestic terrorists". The punishment for "wrongthink" varies from restriction of free speech on social media, businesses and people being censored or completely canceled, to being a political prisoner. Who is behind all of this madness? As they label anyone who dares to question the government's narrative a "domestic terrorist" the censorship police are primed to do much more to you than just not let you post your "wrongthink" on Facebook. The 2024 elections are definitely a target of the censorship cabal and yes, they’re even using artificial intelligence and we should expect massive increases in attempts to keep the American people from getting true information about that election. My guest today, Anrew Riddaugh, says "AI is already being used by the Censorship Industrial Complex to suppress search results, your emails, the news you see, your social media feeds, business directed to you, donations, and more. It's so easy for them to impact elections. A woke google employee could easily set the algorithm to auto spam conservative emails, or shut down your company email, altogether. This is happening and going to happen more often this election year." Andrew Riddaugh is CEO of Liberation Technology Services, a company at the forefront of the private cloud hosting industry, groundbreaking cybersecurity solutions and the pioneer of liquid-cooled edge data centers. Prior to building Liberation Tek, Riddaugh was with the Executive Office of the President of the United States in the Trump Administration

Every day we see it and we are sick and tired of it. The whole of government, the legal system, Corporations, and even our banks, are weaponized against those they hate for their beliefs. But we are fighting back, as you just heard a January 6th case is at the Supreme Court on appeal and if it is overturned, over 300 defendants will get some level of relief from a crazy lawfare application of a financial document law being misused by the Department of Justice. President Trump is also fighting back and being threatened with jail time for daring to speak out in his own defense against these nut job tyrants! But its getting worse too as we’re now hearing the internal revenue service is using artificial intelligence to spy on our bank accounts so we must always keep up our efforts to push back! US Navy veteran and host of the I’m Fired Up Show joins me today to discuss this and more!

Over the weekend we all watched as Iran launched a large aerial attack from its soil at the nation of Israel. As I’ve reported previously Iran has always been behind its proxy militia forces and those groups actions are under the direction of Iran through the Iranian Republican Guard Corps, or IRGC. Iran’s actions this weekend finally ripped the mask off revealing for the rest of the world who is actually behind attacks like what happened on October 7 2023. Even though Iran says the attack was only in response to Israel’s attack on a building next to their embassy in Damascus, Syria, killing the top IRGC commander in the region who was directing Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad combat operations against Israel, the reality is now that Iran is out in the open in its war, its actions are a legal act of war against another country. The United States, United Kingdom, France, and Jordan openly defended Israel when they all used their Air and Naval Forces to shoot down a large portion of the more than 300 attacking drones, land attack cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, prompting Russia to threaten the United States not to attack Iran or it will enter the conflict. As Israel considers its response options the larger question is will China and Russia take any military action beyond their current positions, both aligned with Iran, when Israel responds? The risk of escalation to regional war and beyond is real and each must act appropriately.

The world changed significantly in early 2020 when the so-called pandemic broke out from Wuhan, China but the biggest changes were in the U.S. military once an emergency use authorization vaccine was mandated upon all service members. The lawfulness of that order and its implementation are likely a part of the cause of our recruiting goal challenges today. Military member’s right of informed consent, due process, and religious freedom were all violated as military leaders forced members to take an unlicensed EUA vaccine or face disciplinary action. Eventually Congress rescinded the vaccine mandate, but the damage is done and will likely be with us for a long time. Restoring trust in military leadership will be difficult as there seems to be a long-term trend of American leaders choosing to protect their institutions instead of the defending the constitution they swore an oath to. Two men have taken up the challenge of explaining what happened, why this happened, and making recommendations for a course correction before its too late. Commander Rob Green, is an active duty Navy Commander, author of the book Defending the Constitution behind Enemy Lines, and of the Declaration of Military Accountability, and retired Vice Admiral William “Dean” Lee, who concluded his U.S. Coast Guard career as the Atlantic Area Commander, serving as the operational commander for a force of 21,000 active personnel conducting all U.S. Coast Guard missions from the Rocky Mountains to the Arabian Gulf, spanning across five Coast Guard Districts and 40 states are my guests today.

Yes they will, if we, you, do nothing when you see abuse of power by them, the government agencies like the CIA and FBI. Eventually, there abusive policies will touch you. Over the last few years, revelations have shown the CIA, which is supposed to focus outwardly, has long been meddling in domestic politics. Worse, they’ve become the endless war machine’s go to agency for continuing the policies that are destroying American credibility and our ability to deter our adversaries from starting wars, the opposite of what their mission is. Those that pull the levers of power in the intelligence community are betraying their oaths of office and the American people. A few are standing up and calling them out and we have one of those whistleblowers with us today. Pedro Israel Orta is a former CIA Intelligence Officer, Cuban-American and author of the new book The Broken Whistle.

What a time to be living and a part of human history. With technology developments exponentially increasing, natural events like earthquakes happening in places like New York, the eclipse from yesterday, Christianity under attack, and wars breaking out all over the world, this is the perfect year to energize Americans to re-elect a man named Donald J. Trump and re-dedicate themselves to their religious faith, especially Christians like me. We’ve got two great guests today, in the second half of the show Clay Clark of the Re-Awaken America Tour will join us but first up is the man who lives his life by these words visionary, truth teller, disruptor, patriot, target, brother, husband, father – the descriptors of General Mike Flynn, who not only served his country in uniform but continues that service to save our country for our grandchildren. The General is now on the road, premiering his new movie Flynn-Deliver The Truth, Whatever The Cost for every day Americans. 34 cities in 55 days in the election year of 2024, I can’t think of a better time to energize we who believe America should come first in all our policies and he’s taken a few minutes to join us today.

“In the minutes after a launch detection or nuclear detonation, would America’s nuclear command, control, and communications system enable the president to make a timely and accurate decision to retaliate? We do not know.” That is the very first line from a recent article from the National Institute for Deterrence Studies. We have raised concerns on this show often about our country’s questionable ability to deter Russia and China considering technology developments such as both countries successful fielding of nuclear capable hypersonic missiles because response timelines in a protentional nuclear war exchange are now very compressed compared to those our nuclear command and control system was developed and fielded to handle. The article recommends use of artificial intelligence to speed up our decision-making process as a “dead-hand” system. Any mention of AI use in a critical system such as nuclear forces and command, control, and communications raises serious questions that must be answered before moving forward. One of the authors of this thought-provoking article is my guest today. Retired Colonel Curtis McGiffin is the vice president for education at the National Institute for Deterrence Studies and a visiting assistant professor at Missouri State University.

What really happened when the container ship M/V Dali struck the Francis Scott Key bridge and, it immediately collapsed, destroying not only a key bridge but maiming or killing at least eight people? We will look at what happened based on what we know now of the facts and the timeline. I know there is a lot of speculation out there about the root causes and the national transportation safety board investigation team is currently on the scene combing through all the information and data. Unfortunately there are some issues with the unified command structure that’s been set up to handle the incident and we’ll talk about the potential consequences. I’ve said it before, nothing should be ruled out until a thorough and competent incident investigation is completed. My guest today is Professional Mariner and Offshore Towing expert and US Coast Guard veteran Matthew Caldwell.

Election fraud in 2020 continues to make headlines and as more facts are revealed like you just heard in that clip from yesterday, the truth is slowly coming out. These revelations justify the reasons why Americans gathered to make their voices heard on January 6th, 2021, at the US Capitol. They were there because they had a right to demand redress of their grievances about potential election fraud from their government, just as it says in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Thousands of these patriots that were swept up into the protest that turned into pockets of rioting have been arrested, charged, imprisoned, without due process in many cases, and defamed falsely as “insurrectionists.” The good news is that Americans are organizing to care for the incarcerated and unfairly accused as they’ve had their lives turned upside down. One such organized group is My Brother’s Keeper right here in Oxford Mississippi whose mission states they are “dedicated to helping our state's January 6th prisoners. We endeavor to make Mississippi proud through our efforts to assist each one hailing from, or having moved to, our state.” As the arrests of Americans continue for participating in the January 6th protests, more and more of our citizens are being mistreated by the weaponized justice system so we’ll continue to need these kind citizens to support the. Lori Cyree of My Brothers Keeper and Sheldon Bray, a recently charged January 6 defendant and Mississippian, join me today to inform us on the effort.

Democrat leftist Sanford Bishop has been in office in Georgia’s 2nd Congressional District for over 30 years. He continues to bring leftist policies to his district and the nation. Bishop stands for everything we are against, leviathan federal government, endless war policy, America last Trade policy, open borders, cultural Marxism in our schools, and the destruction of the rule of law. Today we have one of his opponents as my guest. As an America First candidate in this D+3 district Michael Nixon believes in putting Americans liberty, security, and prosperity before any other priorities just as you heard from President Trump in his policy actions in his first administration.

Days ago, the Russian armed forces introduced unmanned ground combat vehicles to the battlefield for the first time in the history of warfare. As usually happens, I’m sure things didn’t work out as they hoped, especially since the Ukrainian armed forces destroyed at least two of the robots with their own airborne drones. We humans have a tendency to become complacent about digital evolution because we inherently think these advancements are good for society as a whole but that is not always the case, in fact, the artificial intelligence that increasingly underpins the effectiveness of these advancements is said by many thought leaders, such as Elon Musk, to be quite dangerous if not developed appropriately. My guest today is War Room’s Tech Editor Joe Allen, author of Dark Aeon, the groundbreaking book revealing the dangers of AI and the intent of many of the people and entities seeking to advance it. The introduction on Dark Aeon’s Amazon page says “Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice.” Joe writes in the book, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems.”

Democrats are trying to destroy President Trump and ram him through civil and criminal trials in New York and across the country. Democrat judges are issuing gag orders and barring him from speaking out about the trials. This is lawfare. This is election interference. This is unconstitutional. This is clearly illegal. We’re talking about the ongoing lawfare on Trump, the lack of accountability in America’s military and the RINO plan to give the house to the democrats today! My guest is former Green Beret retired Army LTCOL Ivan Raiklin. Raiklin Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Ivan E. Raiklin, former Green Beret and Constitutional Attorney Served 25 years in the DOD, Intel and Special Operations Communities and DTRA as an enlisted, officer, civilian, contractor on active duty, reserves and national guard across 5 states and 5 continents in five languages Ivan served as a Green Beret Commander countering ISIS in the Middle East, Taliban in Afghanistan, MS-13 in Central America, and countering Russian aggression as a military diplomat in the Republic of Georgia. Ivan has also rigorously investigated the illegal government spying on Lt Gen Michael Flynn and former Naval Officer Carter Page among many other illegal activities by government operatives, including the rigged 2020 election.

The attack on Moscow civilians by alleged ISIS-K jihadist terrorists highlights the remaining threat from Jihadist terrorism but also lays bare the great differences between members of what was once a relatively united coalition against it. The existing rift between the United States and Israel over its war to destroy Hamas in the Gaza strip only exacerbates the situation. Joe Biden’s regime is abandoning its justified support for Israel’s defensive military operation to eradicate the threat from Hamas completely as the IDF continues combat operations in Gaza like at the Shifa hospital and is beginning operations in Rafah. But the most dangerous aspect of these latest developments may be the obvious and almost complete lack of trust in Western Intelligence agencies that have all identified ISIS-K as the perpetrators of the Moscow attack, opening the door for Putin to say it was Ukraine and its Western backers that are really behind the operation. The complexities we face in this new situation could completely fracture the USA-Israel relationship while Russia could use it to justify a massive escalation in the ongoing war in Ukraine, potentially spilling over into more countries. My guest today to discuss the situation is Jonathan Tobin, Editor in Chief of the Jewish News Syndicate, Host of Top Story With Jonathan Tobin podcast, Sr. Contributor at The Federalist, and a Columnist Newsweek.

Yesterday, the American people finally got the truth about the Biden family’s influence peddling schemes in the latest public House Oversight Committee hearing. Tony Bobulinski listed the crimes he witnessed Joe Biden commit and he called out the lying Democrat Congressmen and women. Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin fumed after Mr. Bobulinski called him a liar to his face during the Biden family business dealings hearing. “Rep Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers... will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies," Bobulinski said. Rep Byron Donalds made Biden’s betrayal of his country for money from China very evident "It is clear that the source of this money came from the CEFC and that CEFC is a company that is directly linked to the CCP and the chairman of the CCP.. Chairman Xi Jinping." Mr. Bobulinski also clearly identified and Hunter, who failed to appear under subpoena, and Jim Biden as liars, having perjured themselves in previous sworn testimony. Dr Randy Arrington is my guest today. Dr Arrington is a political science professor, author, a former Department of Homeland Security official, and retired US Navy Commander and pilot.

The weaponized Justice Department’s efforts to eliminate the main opponent against President Joe Biden continues but is apparently failing spectacularly! With the news this week that Mr. Trump is having difficulty raising the nearly half a billion dollars he needs in the New York cases for his appeal bond, we shouldn’t take our eyes off the most important cases against him, the criminal DC January 6 case and the Florida classified documents case. Both have critical developments that reveal the cracks in wacko special counsel Jack Smith’s novel legal theories that will possibly lead to delays beyond the election if not dismissals of some or maybe even all charges against him. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since the January 6 narrative crumbles more every day and the classified documents outcome in the Biden case came out as it did. If they think they’re taking Trump down, they’ve lost their minds as last night’s new republican primary results show, with Trump taking 80 percent or more of the vote and racking up delegate tallies that crush any and all opposition and seal the deal on his nomination! My guest today is independent investigative journalist Julie Kelly. Julie has been investigating cases like the Whitmer fed knapping, the January 6th “insurrection” false narrative, the lawfare cases against President Trump, and I might add, the January 6th political prisoners, for over three years now. Along with Revolver News Darren Beatty and the Blaze Steve Baker Julie has doggedly investigated the J6 pipe bomb incidents at the DNC and RNC headquarters and she uncovered the new evidence that bomb sniffing dog teams were used there.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has removed the words “Duty, Honor, Country” from its mission statement in what some critics say reflects the deepening politicization within the military services under President Biden. From the Armed Forces Press: LTG Steve Gilland, current Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, needs to resign immediately. The General is spearheading the move to remove 'Duty, Honor, Country' from the West Point Mission Statement. These words have been the foundational creed for West Point throughout its history. Removing the phrase has no obvious purpose, other than to remove West Point's history, and allegiance to the American republic. The General admitted as much in his letter announcing the move to The Long Grey Line. The best reading of this development is Gilland is showing no leadership to his oath of office and will not stand up to 'external stakeholders', like the Maoist regime in The White House. At worst, Gilland is part of the regime and enabling America's slow destruction. We also witnessed a spectacle attacking our first amendment free speech rights in the US Supreme Court yesterday as exhibited by Justice Kentaji Brown-Jackson here; "The government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country... by encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information". An X user asks: Who determines "harmful" or "truthful". The Biden administration? My guest today is the author of the Armed Forces Press article, US Air Force Academy graduate L Todd Wood. As a Special Operations pilot, Todd flew missions for Seal Team 6 and Delta Force. As CEO of CD Media, he’s on a new mission now — to protect the American way of life and rescue it from the destructive grip of the socialist ideology that threatens its sovereignty and everything that makes this country great.

The real #bloodbath is the economic and crime impacts on the American people from the Biden Regime's border invasion - @RealAlyLegge

The biggest news of the day should be Donald J. Trump securing the Republican nomination for a historic third time but even though the government media is forced to cover the story, like you saw with the AP’s coverage there, just can’t bring itself to give anything but superficial coverage to the accomplishment but have no problem highlighting the false, manufactured negatives in the same coverage. Speaking of manufactured, the same Judge who will rule on Fani Willis ethics case potentially throwing her and her team off the Georgia RICO case against Mr Trump and his colleagues, dismissed six of the crazy DA’s charges against them. Breaking news is also happening today in the Florida classified documents case against Mr Trump and finally, Elon Musk is calling out the gamer industry as the biggest woke indoctrination effort of America’s kids in existence, even topping our government school’s efforts to sexualize our kids! Talking about all of this with me today is David Pollack, David Pollack is a renowned lawyer, political commentator, and the COO of The DC Patriot, where he plays a pivotal role in steering the platform towards excellence in conservative journalism. As the host of The David Pollack Show and co-host of DC After Dark, he brings a unique blend of legal insight and political acumen to the forefront, engaging audiences with his deep understanding of the complexities facing today’s political landscape. He’s also a key leader of the Veterans for Trump Florida team

Sarasota Memorial Hospital (SMH) has been recognized among the world’s best hospitals in Newsweek’s sixth annual global ranking of hospitals. It is the only hospital in southwest Florida ever to make the list, SMH announced on Feb. 28 2024. But as we see in the opening video, the rating is highly suspect based on the hospital’s past history. Dr. Stephen Guffanti was an emergency room doctor for fifty years but when he came down with Covid he found himself as a mistreated patient in Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Florida. DR. Guffanti also watched his roommate being mistreated by the hospital, whom he tried to help, but that led to his mistreatment by medical personnel at the hospital. Dr. Guffanti eventually checked himself out of the hospital in order to save his own life. Dr. Guffanti survived, his roommate was not as lucky. Had they just listened to this experienced and caring doctor, the roommate would not have died.

The murder of Seth Rich occurred on July 10, 2016, at 4:20 a.m. in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Rich died about an hour and a half after being shot twice in the back. The perpetrators were never apprehended; police suspected he had been the victim of an attempted robbery. The 27-year-old Rich was an employee of the Democratic National Committee. Beyond these facts the story of Mr. Rich becomes completely riddled with multiple layers of what appears to be disinformation and deception messaging from elements of the US government like you just heard. Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange made comments early on in the investigation that are still generating impact on the story today and I believe, preventing his freedom. New developments in the case have come to light due to attorneys for Matt Couch, who was sued by Rich’s family for his reporting on the case, successfully getting a judge to order the FBI to release Seth Rich’s laptops and tape/DVD drives in a court case and guess what, the FBI still appears to be lying and trying to cover up information. Matt has been investigating the Seth Rich murder for eight years now and is my guest today to give us an update and enlighten us on the background of the case. He is the publisher of the DC Patriot and host of DC After Dark.

We’re setting our own traps in the Middle East, again, Americans will die in the Gaza port operation. From Joint Logistics expert @cynicalPublius on X: Biden is sending U.S. logistics troops to do a humanitarian aid mission, and he is pretending those logistics troops don't need U.S. combat arms troops as security, because Hamas will lovingly provide such security. Many Americans will die. That is the readers digest version, go to his account for a detailed explanation about why implementing a Joint Logistics over the Shore operation in Gaza with no American combat force security is nuts, especially since it is only to secure 100K Muslim votes in Michigan for Biden. The domestic Hamas extremist threat is real, even from inside our own armed forces. As we’ll show you, the American extremists supporting the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 2023 are here, and they mean to kill you and themselves. But that is not the worst part of the domestic threat, hundreds of thousands of military aged males from places like China, Iran, Venezuela, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and yes, even Gaza and Lebanon, have entered our country illegally in the last three years under Biden’s open border invasion. The threat is so real, my guest today wrote his latest book about the it, detailing how a nation-wide attack by these illegals would be executed. U.S. Army retired Colonel and attorney Kurt Schlichter is the author of THE ATTACK. Set in the very near future and ripped from today’s headlines, THE ATTACK is a terrifying novel that describes in frightening detail exactly how America’s enemies could launch a massive terrorist assault here at home.

The attempted prescriptions for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor. Demands to transform the global energy infrastructure to depend heavily on wind, solar, and other renewables are harmful to people in America and the world–especially to the poor. Meanwhile, continued large-scale use of traditional energy sources like nuclear, hydro, and fossil fuels would reduce poverty while doing less harm to the environment. That is all from the new book Climate and Energy: The Case For Realism which combines outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it. My guest today is the author. Dr. Cal Beisner is the founder and president of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, a network of Christian theologians, natural scientists, economists, and other scholars. Dr. Beisner was associate professor for over a decade. He has written over fifteen books, published thousands of articles, and testified on the ethics and economics of climate change before both the U.S. Senate and House. He has also briefed the White House Council on Environmental Policy and is a sought after speaker at climate conferences world-wide.

As he told us would happen on the show last week, last Friday, Blaze journalist Steve Baker was arrested and charged for his reporting actions as an independent reporter in the US Capitol on January 6 2021. This may seem routine to some Americans considering how ill informed many are about the political prisoners, but I see this action as another attack on the first amendment by the current regime. Much like what would happen in the old Communist USSR and Communist China, Baker was handcuffed and shackled in leg irons for his appearance in court on four misdemeanor charges while those accused of felonies felon were not. The disdain for American citizens who oppose them shouldn’t surprise anyone from this regime. After all they are directing an all-out invasion of over 10 million illegal aliens at our Southern border. This is the ultimate America Last policy and reveals how much the regime hates us. FBI tyranny is why former FBI agent, whistleblower, and Senior Fellow at the Center for Renewing America Steve Friend is here for the first half of our show today and Veterans For Trump National Spokesman retired Rear Admiral Chuck Kubic will join us in the second half to talk about a brand new premier of a new documentary about the border invasion!
