She served in a war zone. She resigned rather than appease Putin. Now she's coming for Tom Barrett's seat — and she's got receipts. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones sits down with former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, the Democrat fighting to flip Michigan's 7th Congressional District. Brink spent three years on the front lines of America's most critical foreign policy challenge, then watched the Trump administration throw it all away. When she came home, she was diagnosed with breast cancer — and watched Republicans vote to gut healthcare for 25,000 people in her own district…..she’s running for Congress to fight back.

Ken Harbaugh sits down with Senator Tammy Duckworth to cover the real costs of Trump's war of choice against Iran — 13 dead, hundreds wounded, gas above five dollars a gallon — and the Republican “invertebrates" who enabled it. They also dig into the case of Deisy Ortega, the Army wife detained by ICE while her husband served on active duty, and the $1.8 billion slush fund Trump is using to pay off January 6th rioters while ignoring the Capitol Police officers they attacked and injured.

Retired Commander Bobby Jones sits down with Josh Turek — two-time Paralympic gold medalist, Iowa state legislator, and the Democrat making Republicans nervous about a Senate seat they've held since 2008. Turek isn't a typical candidate. Born with spina bifida after his father's exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, he survived 21 surgeries by age 12 — and went on to win gold for Team USA. Then he won a state House seat in a district Trump carried twice, by six votes, confirmed by recount. Now he's taking that same underdog energy into one of the most consequential Senate races of the 2026 cycle. Subscribe: @ValorMediaNetwork Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Ken Harbaugh examines Ohio's political landscape ahead of November, arguing that Trump's MAGA coalition — built on broken promises and outright lies — is fracturing. From a stupid war with Iran to a crushing cost of living, the cracks are showing, and Democratic momentum is filling the void — starting with gubernatorial nominee Dr. Amy Acton.

Ken Harbaugh breaks down the Trump administration's nearly two-billion-dollar settlement fund for January 6th rioters — including the case of pardoned insurrectionist Andrew Paul Johnson, sentenced to life for molesting two children after telling one victim he expected millions from Trump. Ken is joined by Army combat vet and Veterans Fighting Fascism founder Kris Goldsmith to unpack what the slush fund really signals six months before the midterms.

After Trump accuses NYT reporter David Sanger of treason for asking why the administration has failed to achieve its political objectives, Ken Harbaugh brings in former Navy Commander and F-18 pilot Jason Knapp — who flew missions over the Strait of Hormuz and served on NATO's International Military Staff — to answer the question Trump won't: is America winning, or just bombing?

Ken Harbaugh sits down with Daniel Ayers and Quinn Ray of The Hometown Holler to break down the Republican redistricting blitz sweeping the South — from the Supreme Court's Callais ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act, to Tennessee's deliberate erasure of Memphis's political voice, to why the GOP's own gerrymanders may be built on sand. Ken argues that a broad pro-democracy coalition can turn supposedly safe Republican seats into battlegrounds — and that local outlets like The Hometown Holler are the last line of accountability standing between voters and unchecked legislative power.

Ken Harbaugh breaks down Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Europe — no Pentagon review, no preparation, just a tantrum over Iran and a 90-minute off-the-books call with Vladimir Putin.

Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones breaks down the numbers behind Trump's second-term staffing chaos — and they're damning. We're already at 32% "A Team" turnover in just over a year, with Cabinet departures, intelligence officials quitting in protest over the Iran war, and a revolving door at the IRS that has cycled through SIX commissioners. This is a loyalty purge. The watchdogs are gone. The dissenters are gone. America and the rest of the world are paying the price. Subscribe: @ValorMediaNetwork Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Ken Harbaugh speaks with Nadim, a former interpreter for U.S. forces in Afghanistan who later enlisted in the Marine Corps as a non-citizen, about what drew him to serve alongside American forces and ultimately put on a U.S. uniform himself. Against the backdrop of the Trump administration's ultimatum to more than 1,100 Afghan allies stranded in Qatar, the conversation takes on new urgency — a reminder of the human cost when America fails to honor its commitments.Find Meidas Defense on the Meidas+ Substack here: https://substack.com/@meidastouchWatch IAVA’s ad featuring Nadim here: https://youtu.be/6KSYet-61iQSubscribe to Ken’s Substack here: https://thekenharbaughshow.substack.com/ Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

He's joined by Reverend Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President of Interfaith Alliance, to discuss what it means for American democracy when the people in power treat faith as a political prop.

Retired Naval Officer Bobby Jones breaks down the real reason food could be running out on U.S. warships in the Middle East — and it has nothing to do with the photos Pete Hegseth posted on X. The truth is in the logistics…when every port your replenishment ships depend on is under missile attack, your sailors eat boiled carrots and a tortilla. That's the reality.

Ken Harbaugh examines Donald Trump's claim that Iran agreed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open — a declaration that collapsed within 24 hours when Iranian gunboats forced ships to turn back mid-passage. He speaks with retired Air Force Major General Steven Lepper, former Deputy Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Air Force and Deputy Legal Counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, about what it means to wage war without legal guardrails — and what that does to the prospects for a legitimate resolution.

Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade Iran — and nobody's talking about what it actually means for American sailors, the global economy, and international law. Retired Naval Officer Bobby Jones breaks down the various strains Trump is imposing on the world, to include his very own Service members. Is there a way out? And if so, is President Trump willing to lose face to have peace? Subscribe: @ValorMediaNetwork Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Trump is picking a fight with the first American Pope — and according to Army combat vet and Vets Fighting Fascism founder Kris Goldsmith, it has nothing to do with religion. Ken Harbaugh brings in Goldsmith to lay out his case that the attacks are really about forcing JD Vance into a public act of submission, the latest in a pattern of humiliation rituals Trump deploys against anyone who might threaten his grip on MAGA.

Ken Harbaugh examines the moment Trump's AI Jesus image cracked the loyalty of his own Christian nationalist base — and what it means that figures like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones are now floating the Antichrist accusation in earnest. He speaks with historian Kristin Du Mez about the theology, symbolism, and cultural history driving one of the strangest inflection points in American religious politics.

Retired Commander Bobby Jones sits down with James Martin — fourth-generation Floridian, former Coast Guard lieutenant commander, and the Democrat taking on five-term Republican incumbent Brian Mast in Florida's 21st Congressional District. Martin isn't your typical challenger. His teams seized over 200 tons of narcotics worth $3.5 billion. He commanded cutters in the Persian Gulf. He served as Chief of Staff for National Security Affairs in the Office of the Vice President across two administrations. And now he's bringing that record to a district Republicans have owned for years. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Ken Harbaugh breaks down why the U.S.-Iran ceasefire may be less a diplomatic triumph than a strategic defeat — with Iran retaining its nuclear program, its missiles, and new leverage over the Strait of Hormuz — and speaks with Army combat veteran Kris Goldsmith about what this war has cost the troops who bore its consequences.

From Christian Nationalist tattoos to a Pentagon worship service, this episode asks what it costs a military when its civilian leadership treats killing as something to celebrate.

For weeks, Iran has been strangling the Strait of Hormuz, choking off global oil supplies and sending gas prices skyrocketing. Now Yemen's Houthi rebels have opened a second front — and with it, a second chokepoint: the Bab al-Mandab Strait. That's 15% of global maritime trade. 30% of container ship traffic. And the only remaining exit for Gulf energy exports. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones — who commanded U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf— breaks down why the Houthi entry into this war could be more economically devastating than the Strait of Hormuz crisis alone.

Six weeks ago, Donald Trump stood in Davos and announced a new international organization he called the "Board of Peace" — declaring it would be "the most consequential international body in history." He signed the charter. He posed for photos. He charged countries $1 billion for a permanent seat at the table...then he launched a war. Commander Bobby Jones breaks down exactly who signed onto Trump's Board of Peace, what they were promised, and where those countries find themselves now.

The U.S. Army just raised its maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42 — but the Pentagon is simultaneously bragging about record-breaking recruitment numbers. So which is it? If joining the military under Pete Hegseth is so appealing, why do we need 42-year-olds to fill the ranks? In this video, Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones break down what the data actually shows — from the DoD's own surveys to signing bonuses being dangled to fill technical roles. And we can't ignore the elephant in the room: we are in an active conflict with Iran. Something doesn’t sound right… Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Donald Trump keeps telling America we're winning — but the Pentagon is sending the 82nd Airborne, the 31st MEU, and the 11th MEU toward the region. Winning nations don't surge combat-ready forces. Losing ones do. Trump is simultaneously boasting about strength while quietly calling on allies for help and repositioning some of the most capable rapid-response assets in the U.S. military. Retired Commander Bobby Jones breaks down what these deployments actually signal — and why the gap between Trump's rhetoric and America's real strategic posture should alarm every American.

Bobby Jones breaks down one of the most underreported stories of the U.S.-Iran conflict — the collapse of American credibility with its own allies. From NATO to the Gulf States to Japan, the war didn't just expose Iran's capabilities. It exposed how years of alliance neglect left the United States fighting alone while friends watched from the sidelines. Bobby walks through how Trump's public shaming of treaty allies, the devastating Iranian strikes on Bahrain, Kuwait, and the UAE, and the audacious demand for warships in the Strait of Hormuz paint a picture of a superpower that burned its bridges and is seen as on the decline in the international community.

Then Ken sits down in Boston with Capitol defender Mike Fanone, Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey, and Senate candidate Seth Moulton to expose ICE's expanding brutality and why every Democrat needs to get behind a simple demand: Prosecute ICE.

Ken Harbaugh and Army combat veteran Kris Goldsmith, founder of Vets Fighting Fascism, respond to the Trump PAC's use of a dignified transfer photo in a fundraising email — and the offer of "private national security briefings" to donors. It's the latest example of Trump exploiting the military's fallen to fill his coffers, even as his administration slashes funding for the veterans still living.
