Welcome to the America's Veterans Stories podcast.
Kim Monson is your host.

 Retired Major General John Raaen was a young Army Captain on Omaha Beach, D-Day 1944. As part of the elite 5th Ranger Battalion, their job was to knock out the guns located at the top of the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc and secure the roads around the Pointe to prevent the German’s movement. We are re-broadcasting an interview with General Raaen. You’ll hear stories of D-Day from a soldier who lived it.

Ep. 2240 - HILARIOUS: Shane Gillis Destroys The ESPYS…And Wokeness

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, there's a plot within the Republican Party to undermine Trump's immigration agenda and push amnesty. Also, a guy in San Francisco tried to shoplift from a Walgreens. The store manager got in a fight with him to stop him. Guess who was just convicted of a felony? And xAI unveils new virtual "companions," including one that looks like a half-naked anime character. I'm not a fan of this new innovation, as you might expect.
