    Remembering Linda Tripp, An American Hero

    Remembering Linda Tripp, An American Hero

    Linda Tripp was an American hero and civil servant. She will be sorely missed, always remembered, and always appreciated. In short, she helped settle the difference between the president's word and that of the Secret Service officers and agents who were forced to testify against him and tell the truth. Because of her actions, DNA evidence was finally revealed to help settle the dispute. What people don't realize is how the criminal investigation would have escalated and not gone away. We discuss her memory and service even further. Rest In Peace. And thank you. -Gary Byrne

    How to Write Your Book And Get Published

    How to Write Your Book And Get Published

    I get asked a lot, especially from prior service members, cops and veterans and more, on my advice on how they too can write their memoir or history book. Being as I NEVER thought I would be an author and now I'm a New York Times Bestselling writer with half a million books sold, my co-writer and I break down the simple and the hard truths about getting started, getting going, getting literary representation, and eventually getting published. It is a hard road and one I don't think I will go down again. But if you can follow these hard truths then you can probably do it. And like me, you will find that the point to writing your life's story is not about making money but something entirely more satisfying and worthwhile. We break it down here.

    Mueller VS. Starr, a comparison

    Gary Byrne and his co-writer Grant Schmidt discuss the comparison that many on the left are making: comparing The Starr Report and Starr Investigation to the Mueller Report Summary and the Mueller Investigation. The devil is in the details and there is certainly an insistence to gloss over or re-characterize history and its many players.

    HRC Running Again in 2020! Biden No Good For Secret Service Wives?

    This is a short one. Gary reveals two secrets he's learned. The first is why the GOP believes Hillary Clinton is definitively running again in the 2020 election. The fact is simple and hard to beat. The second secret revealed is why Joe Biden has gotten Secret Service agents in hot water and one reason he may not run in 2020. Gary breaks down the news that are in keeping with the themes of his latest books, out now: Secrets of the Secret Service and Crisis of Character.
