Gen. Blaine Holt guest hosts a three hour conversation on independent media, intelligence agency accountability, and rebuilding American communities through entrepreneurship.Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) guest hosts Your News Talk America for Jake Smith, continuing his series on what he calls fifth generation warfare. The episode is organized around three practical tools for citizens, independent media, government transparency, and entrepreneurship, with recurring themes of national sovereignty, media trust, and public accountability. Hour one examines the rise of independent and alternative media. Holt is joined by UK based podcaster Rich, host of "Rich Does Politics," and by Tommy Kerrigan, host of "Tommy's Podcast," for a wide ranging conversation on why audiences are moving toward independent outlets, how interview driven shows are produced, and the growing public distrust of mainstream media since 2020. In hour two, former CIA contract pilot Robert "Tosh" Plumlee discusses his book "Deep Cover, Shallow Graves" and recounts his account of clandestine aviation operations, his Church Committee testimony, and the Iran Contra era, along with his views on intelligence agency accountability. The conversation also references the recent federal case involving a former CIA officer arrested in Virginia. Hour three turns to economic renewal with Colonel Scot Heathman (USAF, Ret.), CEO of The Wedge Innovation Center in Alton, Illinois, on entrepreneurship, workforce readiness, and revitalizing small town and suburban communities.FEATURED PANELISTSGuest host: Brigadier General Blaine Holt, USAF (Ret.), Newsmax contributor and host of the Dangerous Intellectuals podcastRich, host of Rich Does Politics (independent UK based podcast)Tommy Kerrigan, host of Tommy's PodcastRobert "Tosh" Plumlee, former CIA contract pilot and author of Deep Cover, Shallow GravesColonel Scot Heathman, USAF (Ret.), CEO of The Wedge Innovation Center, Alton, Illinois, and leadership consultantYour News Talk America with Jake SmithBroadcast weekdays on The Talk of Delmarva (92.7 and 98.5) and streaming online at WGMD.com and RealNewsTalk.com.Listen live, participate, and become a program Patriot by visiting:RealNewsTalk.com from 9 - Noon EasternFollow the latest national conversations, interviews, and commentary from voices shaping America’s political landscape.Produced by DTD MEDIA. © 2026 DTD MEDIA, All Rights Reserved.Interactive Radio - Join DIAL — Ask Questions & Chat LiveGo to RealNewsTalk.com on your phone or computer.Tap the blue "Join DIAL" button near the top of the page.Register with a quick display name Type your question or comment and send.
