Her loss represents more glaring evidence beyond President Trump’s election of the deep dissatisfaction with both conventional politicians and the Establishment—for their lack of mettle against the Left and their refusal to address many issues that fell outside of their conventional views of conservatism. Today’s guest has created an organization whose stated mission is “to address the fact that many establishment voices have still not come to terms with the necessary corrective actions needed to fulfill the America First phenomenon. God, country, and community are at the heart of this agenda. These are the correctives the Center for Renewing America was built to champion, and our effectiveness in framing and winning the policy battles on these central issues will bring opportunity for renewal across our nation.” Russ Vought is President of the Center for Renewing America. Prior to founding the Center, he served as a member of President Trump's Cabinet and was responsible for overseeing the implementation of the President's policy, management, and deregulatory agendas across the Executive Branch. He worked as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for nearly two years, first in an acting capacity and then as confirmed by the Senate. During the Trump Administration, OMB was a key office in pushing for conservative victories and helping President Trump cut through bureaucracy. During his four years at OMB, Russ was one of Trump's most trusted and competent managers.

In 1991, the smoldering ruins of Saddam Hussein’s regime testified to America’s unchallenged might. Having defeated one of the world’s largest armies in a matter of days, the United States looked forward to a new century of peace and prosperity. Thirty years later, a ragtag Taliban chased us out of Afghanistan in a humiliating rout. At home, our cities are cesspools of homelessness and crime. The former land of opportunity seems to be in irreversible decline. How did we suffer such an unimaginable fall? And is our current impotence permanent? With his trademark wit, Kurt Schlichter—warrior, lawyer, and commentator—makes a compelling case that America’s decline is not irreversible. No Pollyanna, he offers a sobering catalogue of the dangers ahead, from subjugation to China to the poverty of socialism. Even civil war. But Schlichter was among the U.S. forces that took down the tyrant of Iraq in 1991. Having seen American greatness in action and appreciating the virtues that produced it, he knows that decline is a choice—a choice that we need not make. Sometimes mordant, often humorous, always incisive, Schlichter shows that our resilience is far from spent. American society is uniquely blessed with the ingredients of greatness. A pushback is coming. Schlichter offers no guarantees but something more important—hope.

For those that have actually attended the General Flynn-Clay Clark ReAwaken America Tour you will see lots of praying, a plethora of speakers not of the same race, religion, or politics discussing election integrity, free speech censorship, and vaccine injuries. For a year and a half, the tour has brought healing to Americans who found out the truth about Ivermectin and other smeared medical therapies that the Medical Industrial Complex has slandered. For a year and a half, the ReAwaken America tour has given a voice to those censored by Big Tech giants like Robert Kennedy Jr., Dr. Eric Nepute, Kash Patel, Andy Wakefield, Dr. Judy Mikovitz and more. However, for some inexplicable reason, those topics, those cures, those people gathering together and spreading factual information reaching billions worldwide have led to some members of the media and people misled by the media to cry "racism." Pastor Leon Benjamin is the ReAwaken America Tour Lead Pastor and I am grateful to have him as our guest this week. A native of Richmond, VA, he is also the GOP Virginia Congressional District 4 House nominee.

My fellow Airmen and citizens, our Air Force is dangerously corrupt from the top down. Religious exemptions for the COVID vaccine have been denied at the direction of no less than the Secretary of the Air Force himself. The highest-level commanders refuse to acknowledge the facts about the vaccine or to allow any religious exemptions even though their Chaplains are confirming almost all of them as deeply held and real.

Listen to Keelin Darby tell the story of her husband, Huntsville, Alabama Police Officer Ben Darby and the injustice he is suffering for following policy and saving 2 officer's lives.

In recent weeks Americans have seen some unbelievable breaking news about its Armed Forces, once the most feared and capable in the world. The US Army has even removed its requirement for a high school diploma to enlist as of last month. America’s all volunteer force has never been in such a shambles. We can’t even get young men and women into the Army with an upwards of $50K enlistment bonus implemented months ago. The Army isn’t the only service with recruiting failures. Recent reports on the next incoming class to the Air Force Academy say that every single qualified applicant is being offered a slot in the class. That is unheard of in the Academy’s contemporary history and doesn’t bode well for the future capability of the Air Force’s core leaders. What is happening? Two events are the forcing function of both recruiting and retention. Critical Race Theory policies dismantling the defense team along race and gender lines, and the vaccine mandate. My guest today is United States Air Force Lt John Bowes. John commissioned in 2019 as an officer and distinguished graduate from the US Air Force Academy and was removed from the F-16 training program in September after filing a religious accommodation for the COVID vaccine. He has since become intimately familiar with the consequences of this mandate to National Security, recruiting, and the function of the military as a whole.

There is an election coming, no not the 2022 congressional elections, but the election for the presidency of the Southern Baptist Convention, or SBC, in just days. My guest today is a candidate for that office and his latest article in The Federalist starts with this “There is no question that the Southern Baptist Convention is facing a moment of reckoning. The SBC is a free association of churches, and trust is its connective tissue. The release of the Guidepost Solutions report on the Executive Committee’s response to Sexual Abuse Allegations has revealed horrifying accounts of broken trust. It is clear that our local churches and some of our SBC leaders have at times failed by mishandling or even covering up abuse allegations involving their friends.” SBC Presidential Candidate Tom Ascol has served as a Pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL since 1986 and he says the SBC is in need of a change in direction. Over the last few years the SBC leadership has increasingly attempted to turn the SBC toward today’s secular social culture instead of away from it. The revelations in the sexual abuse response report is only the tip of the iceberg as SBC leaders are embroiled in serious issues concerning critical race theory, social justice, and the woke culture advocating for, and acting on, sexualizing children.

Retired Army Colonel Conrad Reynolds is challenging a GOP Insurrection truther named French Hill in Arkansas’s second congressional district. Hill has veered in the wrong direction for the people of the Second Congressional District. For example, Hill sided with Democrats in dismissing Trump’s questioning of the 2020 election results. Further, Hill voted with Democrats on the establishment of a partisan January 6 Committee, which has turned out to be nothing other than a tool for attacking Trump. Hill also voted with House Speaker Pelosi and Democrats to establish a compulsory national data base for tracking vaccine status. By contrast, Conrad Reynolds supports election integrity, believes the truth about the 2020 election should be exposed, and feels that each American should make his or her own decisions in health matters.

Did you know that zero police officers died on January 6, 2021, or even as a result of being injured on that date? Did you know that as many as 5 protesters died that day and the only one to die from gunfire was a female Air Force veteran who was trying to get people not to be violent and threatened no one? Do you know that there were federal agents and informants in the crowd on January 6th? Are you aware that of the 4 defendants tried in the Governor Whitmer kidnapping case two were acquitted and two could not be convicted because the defense was able to raise an FBI entrapment defense? You probably aren’t aware of the truth surrounding these events because the corporate media you watch is either not covering them or is lying about the facts when they do cover it. A consistent example about January 6th is that an insurrection happened instead of a riot that might really have been planned and initiated by the actions of law enforcement and their undercover agents or informants. Not one person has been charged with insurrection, not one. While corporate media contuse its propaganda narrative to support the establishment powers in DC, other independent investigative reporters are not. Some have done so much research on January 6th they’ve even published books on the facts. Senior writer at American Greatness and Author of JANUARY 6: HOW DEMOCRATS USED THE CAPITOL PROTEST TO LAUNCH A WAR ON TERROR AGAINST THE POLITICAL RIGHT, Julie Kelly, is my guest this week.

Big news in the non-fungible token, or NFT, marketplace is breaking in the 2022 elections. Restore Truth Token (RTT) is the first politically focused crypto to have a real-world use case in the United States and will be wholeheartedly supporting the America First movement. RTT has formed three PACs which makes them the first crypto approved not once but three times by the Federal Election Commission. RTT has attracted over 5,000 supporters and raised over $350,000 within its ecosystem. The first beneficiary from the ecosystem was the Wounded Warrior Project which RTT supported on 11 November 2021 (Veterans Day). It's important to the RTT team that they continually make charitable donations congruent with the America First philosophy. The first America First candidate supported by RTT, which followed extensive legal consultation with the team's campaign counsel, was to congressional candidate Max Miller. Max is a Donald Trump endorsed candidate and was on President Trump’s White House staff as his Lead Advance Director. RTT’s CEO John Ward and lead developer Michael Buckmaster are my guests this week.

Having run for the U.S. Senate, that is a daunting question for Republicans in Missouri. Each GOP candidate needs to be asking themselves if their presence in the race is causing the seat to be at risk? The intra-party primary fight is often about establishment versus outsider candidates and the usual barbs thrown at the outsiders are, you have to get out, your causing x, y, or z effect. In this case putting the seat at risk. Believe me, I’ve been told to get out of a race publicly by the biggest of names in GOP politics, so I understand where a particular candidate who is being called out is intellectually. But I’ve never been called out for family or character issues that were documented facts and that’s why I wanted to get our guest to come on the show this week. A recent article of his in Townhall.com starts out like this: “Politicians are fungible – in almost every instance, one candidate is essentially replaceable by another – and this is why we must be utterly unsentimental about them. They owe us loyalty, and they have a fiduciary duty to us to win or to get out of the way in favor of someone who can. And this is why Eric Greitens, aka Kinky Todd Akin, needs to drop out of the race for the Missouri Senate seat. Greitens is the ex-Democrat who changed into a Republican to become Missouri governor, a post he quit in disgrace one step ahead of impeachment by a GOP supermajority.” So lets get this discussion started. Noted author, retired Army Colonel, and all around “caring” person, Kurt Schlichter, welcome back to the Rob Maness Show!

Since September 11, 2001, most of the focus in the United States on radicalism was on the Islamist violence hunted around the globe in the war on terror. I’ve observed today’s guest ever since I first saw him on cable news courageously talking about his opposition to violent radical Islamists like those attacking countries around the world, and he is of the Muslim faith. That was our country’s focus until recently, when US government Homeland Security types said it was white supremacists that are the violent radicals, we should fear more than any other extremism. I’ve closely followed terrorism in our country most of my life, having been a bomb disposal technician and studied the terrorism in the 60s and 70s from communist infiltrated groups such as the weather underground, among others. I’m puzzled because of two things, first the Marxist driven Black Lives Matter movement and its violence throughout the last half of 2020, and the massive invasion across our Southern border, especially the last 14 months, of illegal entrants from around the world. These two facts lead me to believe, based on my extensive experience, that we are at least just as much at risk from an Islamist or other non-domestic actor terrorist attacks as we were in the years before DHS decided it was these white supremacists that don’t seem to be doing anything significant enough to reprioritize our intelligence and law enforcement efforts away from Islamists and narco terrorists from the Mexican drug cartels. We’ll discuss these questions today with Dr M. Zuhdi Jasser, President, American Islamic Forum for Democracy, a Former US NAVY Lieutenant-Commander, Host, Blaze Radio Podcast: “REFORM THIS!”, Founder, Take Back Islam, Co-Founder, Muslim Reform Movement, and Author, A Battle for the Soul of Islam.

The 2022 congressional primaries have begun and it looks like things are shaping up into a battle royale between the non-career, non-establishment candidates against the establishment and career politicians in many of these races. We’ve had our eye on Ohio for quite some time as the GOP primary there has a mix of non-career, establishment, and career politicians running. At least three of them are capable of winning in the general election, but one Marine veteran and author stands out among them. That is JD Vance, author of the book Hillbilly Elegy and a Marine who deployed to Iraq. What really stands out is not these bits of his bio, but his policy positions. At a time when our country is in grave danger form a literal invasion through our Southern border, over 100K fentanyl overdose deaths last year, and the US Congress just passing $14.2 billion in aid to Ukraine, while giving no increase to customs and border patrol, the American people desperately need more men and women who have the courage to stand up to the elites, the establishment uni-party power brokers, and America’s enemies from a position in the U.S. Senate. That is why we have a man who is demonstrating this courage every day, Mr. Vance, on the show.

On the fourth day of the war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s nuclear forces into a higher state of alert, the first time the Kremlin has done so since the Russian Federation was established in 1991. Unfortunately, the Biden administration should have countered Putin’s order by putting its bombers, nuclear silos and submarines on a higher alert level. Instead, the White House made clear that it had not changed. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations also told the Security Council that Russia was “under no threat” and chided Putin for “another escalatory and unnecessary step that threatens us all.” The administration went even further and canceled its regularly scheduled firing of an unarmed combat ready intercontinental ballistic missile, that is critical to message our adversaries that our missiles are reliable and ready. So, are these measures de-escalatory as the administration suggest? I suggest not, they have actually escalated the conflict toward a nuclear exchange because we have openly told President Putin that he could actually win in a nuclear exchange with us, the exact opposite impression of what nuclear deterrent operations is supposed to produce. Nuclear deterrent operations are intended to keep foremost in our adversary’s mind that he or she will risk complete destruction if they launch on us but if we don’t maintain nuclear alert readiness parity with that adversary, he or she is NOT seeing that we have the political will and resolve to use our arsenal if necessary. Today’s guest is a dynamic Military & Political Consultant, NY Times Bestselling Author, and noted Speaker with a history as a USAF Combat Pilot, Commander, and Sr. Military Air Force Aide to President Bill Clinton, which means he’s carried the nuclear decision handbook (the football) and been trained on how to guide the President of the United States in its use to first deter a nuclear strike or launch an option if necessary. Retired Air Force Lt Colonel Buzz Patterson

Called the MIG 29 hot potato between the United States and Poland by independent media Human Events Editor Jack Posobiec, has failed, at least for now. It is a very good thing this escalation failed friends. Why you ask? Well, Russia has put its nuclear deterrent forces at a higher alert level and the United States did not respond with strength, but only with weakness.

Politico is reporting “Several Republican-leaning states that eschewed so-called vaccine passports over concerns that they limited freedom are now embracing the technology behind them so that their residents can travel and get their immunization and health records online. The technology — which allows proof of Covid-19 vaccination to be digitized and often includes a QR code — had been touted by supporters, largely in Democratic-leaning states, as a way to facilitate safer reopening after pandemic-related shutdowns. But now the technology is gaining momentum in at least five states — Arizona, Mississippi, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Utah — despite bans on “vaccine passports” or governors opposing them

President Donald Trump advocated for the precinct strategy in his recent CPACC 2022 speech. We spent an hour with Dan Schultz explaining it. Watch and learn from this special presentation

Unfortunately, it appears the prediction that Russia and China would act in unison against Ukraine and Taiwan after the Olympics ended may be in progress before the eyes of the world.

According to the John Kerry, the real problem is thatUkraine will distract us from focusing on climate change.

Russia increased its nuclear force posture today, time is running out.

Let’s have some real talk about war tonight folks.

The President of The United States announced more sanctions today and took questions. I won’t drag you through the questions but Biden was forced to admit that removal from the SWIFT banking systems was not part of the package because not all the European players are not on board with that action. These European countries include NATO countries like Germany and Italy and THAT is a big deal my friends. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Telecommunications (SWIFT) is a cooperative of financial institutions that acts as a secure messaging system to provide secure transaction activity information to its members and countries. Sanctioning Russia by kicking it out of SWIFT is THE sanction that will have an impact but its not going to happen so these sanction packages are two things, window dressing so Biden can say he’s responding, and revealing fractures in NATO and our European allies. That is not a good thing considering Mr Putin has already gone much farther than most analysts expected in his aggressive attack on Ukraine. If Russia attacks a NATO country a lot of people are going to die and WW3 might kick off. Pray for peace.
