  Memorial Day Tribute and Miracles: Lt. General recalls battlefield triage at the Pentagon 19.05.2026 33мин

  This week we’re highlighting the National Memorial Day Concert, airing Sunday, May 24, 2026, on PBS. One concert segment will focus on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and will tell the story of Lieutenant General Patricia Horoho, one of the heroes at the Pentagon that day. After joining the U.S. Army, she trained in clinical trauma nursing and was assigned to the Pentagon in August 2001. Moments after terrorists crashed a plane into the heart of the DoD (only 100 yards from her office) she raced to the site and quickly emerged as the experienced leader. Lt. Gen. Horoho shared a vivid look at the battlefield triage that followed and how with only a belt and the supplies in a medic’s backpack, she started an IV and treated her first of 75 wounded patients that day. She also shared how 9/11 was not her only experience respoding to a plane crash. From Afghanistan deployments to becoming the first woman and nurse to serve as the Surgeon General of the United States Army, Lt. Gen. Horoho shares examples of service, sacrifice and true miracles. As our nation celebrates 250 years, we remember all those we have lost, and Horoho’s memories capture the pride of being American and the power of human connection.

  White House Greenlights Psychedelics: SEAL veteran Marcus Capone shares what comes next on this long legal trip 24.04.2026 54мин

  This week we’re hearing about a major mental health milestone for psychedelic assisted therapy, after President Trump signed a landmark Executive Order demanding research on alternative treatments for severe mental illness. We broke it down with Marcus Capone, Navy SEAL veteran, Founder of Veterans Seeking Treatment Solutions and an elite combat vet whose life was saved after his experience with the psychedelic, Ibogaine. Capone describes how this Executive Order will impact the veteran community, the studies that show the efficacy of psychedelic medicine, and if the influence of Big Pharma will pervert research on plant-based medicines. We also take a closer look at what psychedelics qualify for the Executive Order’s “Breakthrough Therapy” designation, and if that will become a hurdle that disrupts veteran's ability to get access. Capone offers a glimpse at surprising connections between psychedelic medicine and God. And he shares the celebrity podcaster Joe Rogan played in getting President Trump to sign the Executive Order.

  Remembering Pat Tillman: Ranger, NFL Star, and the legacy that continues to inspire 21.04.2026 41мин

  On Wednesday Apr 22 we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Army Ranger Pat Tillman who was killed during combat operations in Afghanistan. A unique Ranger in that he left a pro football career with The NFL’s Arizona Cardinals to join the Army shortly after 9/11, along with his brother. On the evening of April 22, 2004, Pat’s unit was ambushed as it traveled through the rugged, canyon terrain of eastern Afghanistan.

  Iran War! SF veteran, author Brad Taylor examines Operation Epic Fury 06.03.2026 45мин

  This week we discuss Operation Epic Fury, with Army veteran and former SFOD-Delta, Lt. Colonel Brad Taylor. A veteran with years of covert operations experience, best-selling author and detailed researcher, Taylor looks at all sides of this war with Iran, which has broadened to a level not seen since WWII. We begin with what initiated the US-Israeli attack on Iran, and the dangers the world now faces. We looked back at Iran’s support of murderous terrorist groups, i.e., Hamas, Hezbollah, IRGC, Quds Force, and how Iran has been conducting asymmetric warfare for decades. We also take a deeper look at previous wars, and how killing our enemies is only half the battle. Taylor describes deadly lessons from Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, and the true cost of leaving behind a failed state. He also offers lessons on successful US “dislocation strategies”, but pairs it with a brutally honest look at the current situation in Iran. And he describes a few end game scenarios, which leaves The Middle East and The United States with more questions than answers.

  After Maddie Smith quit drinking, she just didn’t know what to do with her hands ... until she discovered Cross Fit and built her epic physique! Now she’s a top contender for “Ms. Health and Fitness 2026”, and she’s doing it all for a veteran nonprofit. We talked about how she overcame alcoholism, an eating disorder, and endured recovery groups that didn’t understand her trauma. Now, in peak physical condition she shared advice on conquering addictions and helping veterans through a partnership with Shields and Stripes, a veteran support program founded by Steve Nisbet, fellow athlete and Air Force Pararescue Specialist veteran. Nisbet described the life of an elite “PJ”, conducting casualty evac missions in combat zones, the tragic death of a fellow PJ, the Army's betrayal and the emotional toll of his service. But he powered through the pain and used his physical training expertise to create the acclaimed Shields and Stripes veteran support program. The program draws from the type of sports therapy used by pro athletes and Special Operations teams and combines it with customized nutrition plans and therapy from experienced psychologists. Nisbet described the incredible results attendees experienced at recent programs in Arizona and Florida, and shared stories of vets who no longer need the medications doctors said they couldn’t live without. Smith also expressed her shared love of fitness as medicine, and what she will do if crowned contest winner, “If I win, I’m donating the $20K prize to the Shields & Stripes Foundation. I’m competing to break the stigma around recovery & mental health, not to win money. Giving the prize to a nonprofit founded by someone who rebuilt his life after tragedy & now helps others find their strength, means more than anything $20K could buy me.” Vote for Maddie Smith, fitness pro and Army spouse, here:https://mshealthandfit.com/2026/madeline-smith Check out the innovative, healing programs for veterans at Shields and Stripes, here:https://shieldsandstripes.org/

  The God Molecule: Netflix documentary shows the power of Psychedelic Medicine 16.01.2026 56мин

  The Netflix documentary “In Waves and War” reveals the stunning results of psychedelic therapy and how medicines like Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT are proving to help warriors overcome their demons, which all too often drive them to suicide. Former Navy SEAL Chief Anthony Rivera completed this groundbreaking treatment back in 2020 and shares vivid memories from his experience. We start with a gripping look at what life on the SEAL teams was like, and the troubling after effects of combat. After attempting to fight the battle alone, Rivera was eventually convinced by a fellow team mate to undergo a powerful medically assisted session in Mexico, thanks to Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions. Rivera described in detail, the vivid images and feelings he experienced during the sessions. And he shared the profound connection between psychedelic therapy and feeling the presence of God. As the medicine coursed through his veins, the results that he and hundreds of other Special Operations veterans experienced, are nothing short of miraculous. Rivera also makes a powerful case for why psychedelic therapy is more effective than traditional mental health treatment and the overwhelming number of medications widely prescribed. Now a devout Christian, Rivera continues to serve his fellow veterans through his company Vetavize, which helps them navigate the VA benefit claims process, and receive the benefits they earned.

  The Warfighter: Tribute to Boone Cutler, Army combat vet and fiery voice of a generation 04.11.2025 1ч 46мин

  Simply put, Boone Cutler, was one of the most influential veterans of the post 9/11 era. His recent passing comes too soon but reminds us to remember the alarms he sounded for improving VA care and properly addressing mental health. Cutler called out Congress, DoD and VA for overloading vets with prescription meds while holding an outdated stance on cannabis. And he worked to save countless veterans from the suicide epidemic, through The Spartan Pledge. In this episode we hear rare conversations recorded in 2019, where we discussed his life, combat in Sadr City, Psy Op (Psychological Operations) tactics and the gripping origin story of his advocacy. We began at a saloon in Nevada, where Boone shared his family’s rich military tradition. Later we heard Boone’s miraculous, autobiographical story, recorded at his kitchen table, where we truly got to know the man behind those distinctive black sunglasses. The experiences he shared, would eventually be heard by Congress, and trigger the VA to address the over-prescribing of pills- an issue Cutler dubbed, “The Combat Cocktail”. He powerfully described the pharmaceutical link to the suicide epidemic and illustrated through his own difficult memories, how veterans can consider ending their life. Cutler’s story also revealed how he was one of the first vets to reveal the second order effects that stem from TBIs and blast injuries. He further shared fierce advocacy for cannabis, and offered vivid examples of how it effectively replaced the pain killers and heavy psychoactive drugs, which are still prescribed too often today. We finally dove into his love for his wife, family, veteran brothers and sisters, and how The Spartan Pledge, was forged as a battle plan to save veteran lives. There will never be another vet like Boone Cutler. I am honored to have known Boone and called him a friend. Till Valhalla my brother.
