With insightful commentary and bold conversations, Dr. Spears examines the tradeoff many make between conscience and comfort, reminding listeners that true freedom requires the spine to defend it.

Green Beret’s Defiance of COVID Mandates

A Catholic convert, Frankman relied on faith to discern his stand, advocating for accountability and ethical training. He recounts meeting President Trump and Rep. Matt Gaetz, pushing for military reform. His story inspires courage against institutional pressure. Follow John at JohnFrankman.com, X (@JohnFrankmanFL), or Instagram (@Johnny_Franks).
