John brought Rhonda to Pete's attention because of her book about her father and uncle who fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II To get Rhonda's book head to amzn.to/3SWVsPy Rhonda's website is RhondaLomeli.com Here's a blurb from the book. In the shadow of a quiet American small town, two ordinary brothers answered the call that would forge them into Marines and hurl them into the savage Battles of the Pacific Theater Operation. Through raw, first-hand accounts, Semper Fi, Marine brings the hellish coral ridges, deadly caves, and brutal fighting of Peleliu to vivid, heart-pounding life. Through fear, loss, and unimaginable courage, the brothers survived the war only to face a new battle, rebuilding lives in a world forever changed. Now in this revised and expanded second edition, their powerful story is more immersive than ever. Enhanced photographs throughout reveal the faces, the foxholes, and the battlefields of Peleliu in stunning new detail. Decades later, the author journeys to the far side of the globe to stand on the very ground where her father fought, closing a circle of honor that spans generations. With a powerful new foreword by Colonel John C. McKay, USMC (Ret.) and glowing advanced praise from former military members who call it "unforgettable," "deeply moving," and "a must-read for every American," this is more than a war story. It is a timeless tribute to brotherhood, sacrifice, and the unbreakable Marine spirit that still defines us today.

What makes this episode unique beyond Victor's brilliant mind is Max sitting in as the primary host on the episode. Rather than a political book celebrating Donald Trump, VDH's work is a history and accounting of what happened, and how Pres Trump fell, then returned to power. From his nadir post January 6, including his long legal battles, to his historic rise featuring a series of unprecedented events. A few of the improbable things that led to Pres Trump's re-election. He survived being shot during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. He became the first Republican in decades to win the popular vote. Trump shutting out incumbant VP and 2024 Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in all the key swing states. This unlikely collection of events culminated in just the 2nd perforated presidency in US political history following Grover Cleveland's equally improbable phoenixing return to the presidency. Victor Davis Hanson is a Senior Fellow at The Hoover Institution. USC President Emeritus Max Nikias is the author of "American Trojan," available now on Amazon at amzn.to/4A34yuN Thanks to Brad Hutchings for the work on the graphic
