Matthew Lohmeier served in the United States Air Force as well as well as the U.S. Space Force from 2020-2021 until he was separated from active duty for discussing the proliferation of Marxist rooted CRT theory in the military and its divisive impact on the force and mission. He self published his book, "Irresistible Revolution" and now is a highly sought after public speaker to educate people on the betterment of military culture and the preservation of liberties. Matthew and I discuss how he got into the military and how his education provided the foundation for understanding the importance of the principles of liberty and equality that underpin the United States. Of course, we also get into the role of religion and the spiritual nature of man which cannot be overlooked when discussing culture and the policies that emanate from it. Lastly, Matt offers some hope for the future and advice on how best to proceed in today's world.
