The Revolutionary War and the New York Campaign

Kim opens with gratitude to the Divine Provider who had His hand in the founding of our nation. As Ben Martin will explain later in the show, without God America would not have become a nation of freedom. The socialistic trend leaning towards communism that is seen today must be stopped.

Will America Spend Itself Out of Existence?

Kim begins with a Soviet Dictator Vladimir Lenin quote, “America will spend itself out of existence.” Current government proposed policies are anti-American and by design have an end goal that elites will rule.

Both men contributed a chapter in the book Echoes of Our...

Ben Martin's American Revolution Recap

Kim and Producer Steve note the American Revolution was a revolt against taxation without representation. Today we have taxation with representation, which begs the question, “Who is being represented?” Be diligent in the usage of words and counteract the narrative in place by the radical left. When freedom of speech is shut down, we are in a dangerous place.
