America's Frontlines Podcast 10 April 2026

In this episode of America’s Frontlines: Colonel Denny and Skip break down a fundamental question at the heart of today’s political debates: Is America a democracy - or a Constitutional Republic? They explore why the distinction matters and how it shapes current issues like federal power, the role of government, the Department of Education, and states’ rights. Colonel Denny also dives into the latest headlines, including the remarkable rescue of an F-15 crew shot down over Iran after more than 13,000 successful missions - a story of resilience, precision, and courage. As always, he brings his signature humor to keep things grounded and engaging. This week’s guest, Tom Norton - an Army veteran and current candidate for public office in Michigan - joins the conversation to share his perspective on service, leadership, and the challenges facing the nation today. And of course, we wrap with our regular dose of military history - because understanding the past keeps us sharp for the future.
