The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches its members to "renounce war and proclaim peace." Through its investment arm, Ensign Peak Advisors, it has held more than $250 million in the world's largest defense contractors — Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin — documented in its own SEC filings. Four hundred feet from the angel Moroni on the Salt Lake Temp...

"My plan." Those are Benjamin Netanyahu's own words — in a June 1, 2026 letter on official Israeli government letterhead, sent to U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) — describing Section 224 of the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act. A foreign prime minister called a piece of American defense legislation his plan. Three days later, on June 4, the House Armed Services Committ...

Mark Levin went on Fox and compared Donald Trump to Franklin Roosevelt — Trump going after Republicans like Thomas Massie in primaries is FDR purging the Democrats in 1938, and Levin says it's a good thing. Here's the twist: he's right. It IS the FDR playbook. He's just wrong about what that means — because the FDR story isn't a story about a leader purifying his party. It'...

The most consequential 72 hours of the 2026 cycle. Ed Gallrein wants the draft back. Pete Hegseth is flying to Kentucky to rescue him. The primary is Tuesday. In this episode of Bring Our Troops Home, Dan McKnight breaks down Ed Gallrein's own words from his Speak Video podcast appearance — where the retired Navy SEAL Captain and Trump-endorsed congressional candidate calls the all-volunteer f...

On Tuesday, May 19th, the Republican voters of Kentucky's 4th Congressional District will decide whether the most consistent antiwar vote in the United States Congress keeps his seat. His name is Thomas Massie. He is the natural successor to Ron Paul. He opposed the war in Syria, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Yemen, the war in Ukraine, military action in Venezuela, and the war in Iran. He...

A few hours after Scott Horton walked out of his first appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Dan McKnight sat him down to debrief. What he covered, the one sentence he most wants Joe's audience to remember, the truth about Iran's nuclear program, the eleven-bombs-in-two-weeks story, Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal — and what Robert Kagan is suddenly admitting now that America&#39...

On September 11th, 2001, Major Dan Caine was an Air National Guard F-16 pilot scrambled out of Andrews Air Force Base — with the authority to shoot down Flight 93 if it came for the Capital. He told his wingman: "Don't shoot anybody. I'll make the decision." Twenty-five years later, that same man — now Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — was reportedly walked over the line in...

At 8:10 AM Eastern, Sunday morning, President Trump postedthis on Truth Social: "The United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!" Forty-eight hours earlier, the same president had postedthat Israel was PROHIBITED from bombing Lebanon — the first time in a generation an American president publicly subordinated Israe...

Tuesday night, President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. The nation exhaled. We exhaled. But before you call it a win, you need to understand what we agreed to. Iran's ten-point proposal — which the White House accepted as the basis for negotiation — includes: a toll on the Strait of Hormuz that will generate over $7.5 billion a year in new Iranian revenue. The current government stays...

Joe Kent served 11 combat deployments. He earned six Bronze Stars. He was the director of the National Counterterrorism Center — appointed by Trump, confirmed by the Senate. His job was to know whether Iran posed an imminent threat. He resigned rather than lie about it. In his resignation letter, Kent said Iran posed no imminent threat — and that the president was deceived by an echo chamber runni...

We're not at war with Iran. At least that's what Speaker Mike Johnson says — it's just a "limited engagement." But President Trump is demanding unconditional surrender. You can't have it both ways. When Tucker Carlson explained the historical meaning of "unconditional surrender," the entire right-wing media attacked him. Trump himself said Tucker "lost his...

At the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, former United States Senator Scott Brown cited the War Powers Resolution and called it the Constitution. So Dan McKnight challenged him. “Show me where that’s in the Constitution.” What followed was a moment that stopped the room — and a private 30-minute conversation that may have opened the door to something much bigger than one exchange on stage. For the firs...

Last night one of Congress’ most reliable neocon voices, Dan Crenshaw, lost his Republican primary by double digits. Sometimes politics delivers a little accountability. But today’s episode isn’t really about Crenshaw. Today we take a closer look at radio host Mark Levin — the self-proclaimed “Great One” — and a viral post he made claiming the Founders did not give Congress the power to control wa...

Massie and Khanna are right. As two U.S. carrier strike groups sit within range of Iran, Congress has not taken a single vote authorizing war. Not one. In this episode of the Bring Our Troops Home Podcast, we break down the bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution introduced by Congressman Thomas Massie and Congressman Ro Khanna — and why this moment is bigger than politics. This is about Article I o...

On February 17th, the New Hampshire Senate Finance Committee held a hearing on HB 104 — the Defend the Guard Act. The bill had already passed the New Hampshire House by a 23-vote margin. Public testimony was overwhelmingly in support: 51 in favor, 2 opposed. And then, after the hearing concluded, the committee entered executive session. Ninety-six seconds later, the bill was dead. No debate. No di...

As state legislatures enter peak session, something rare happens in American politics. Votes are cast in public. Records are created. And elected officials preparing for primary elections can no longer hide from their own actions. In this episode of the Bring Our Troops Home podcast, we examine why legislative session combined with primary season is the moment when citizens have the most leverage...

On Christmas night, while families across the country were gathered together, the President announced U.S. military strikes in Nigeria. Another war. Another country Americans never debated. Another decision made without a vote of Congress. In this episode of the Bring Our Troops Home podcast, we respond directly to that announcement. We acknowledge the very real persecution of Christians in northe...

The Truth About Dick Cheney — The Cost and the Choice This episode closes the circle. For six episodes, we’ve traced how Dick Cheney built a doctrine, assembled a machine, and helped normalize undeclared war. In this final chapter, we stop talking about power in the abstract and confront what it actually did to real people. This is the human toll of Cheney’s worldview. Not in statistics. Not in ta...

The Global and Domestic Blowback of Cheney’s Doctrine The Truth About Dick Cheney The Iraq War didn’t just destroy a country overseas. It destroyed the rules that restrained American power. Episode 6 of The Truth About Dick Cheney examines what happened after the invasion — once the guardrails were removed and the machinery was allowed to run. This episode traces the global and domestic blowback o...

The Iraq War didn’t just happen. It was sold. By late 2002, the decision to invade Iraq had already been made inside the Bush administration. What followed wasn’t a debate. It was a coordinated campaign to manufacture certainty, suppress doubt, and move the country toward war before Congress or the public could stop it. Episode 5 tells the story of how that campaign worked. At the center of it was...

Episode 3: Betrayal in the Mountains In the days after 9/11, America was unified. The mission in Afghanistan was the clearest U.S. war objective since World War II. We had been attacked. We knew who did it. We were going after them. For a moment, everything was simple. But that simplicity didn't last. And it didn't disappear in the mountains of Afghanistan. It disappeared in Washington. This episo...

Episode 2 of The Truth About Dick Cheney is called The War Profit Pipeline , and it digs into the part of Cheney’s story most people never learned. Before the Iraq War, before 9/11, Cheney spent years helping shape an ideology that believed American power should be used to reorder the world. This chapter looks at the rise of the neoconservative movement, the Project for a New American Century, and...

This episode looks at Cheney’s rise from a little-known congressional staffer to a dominant force in Washington, shaping wars, executive power, and the lives of countless American service members. If...
