What if modern warfare has evolved beyond anything history's great strategists could have imagined? While Metternich orchestrated the balance of power through diplomatic summits and Machiavelli counseled princes on maintaining state authority, today's battles for sovereignty unfold in unlikely places: doctors' offices, veterinary clinics, and local zoning boards across America.

In this unsettling episode of The Bill Walton Show, national security expert Stephen Bryen returns to cut through the fog about Russia's game-changing hypersonic missile and what it means for U.S. security. As Joe Biden requests another $24 billion for Ukraine, Bryen reveals how Russia has achieved strategic superiority in missile technology - a capability we cannot match or defend against.

It won’t be news to anyone that this upcoming election is fraught with many potential problems. 

Based on a new study by Just Facts, 10% to 27% of “non-citizen” adults in the U.S. are estimated to be illegally registered to vote. Aggressive attempts to debunk the study have completely failed.

In international tests, American eighth graders score 9th in reading, 16th in science, and 34th in math. 

With few other options granted other than attendin...
