What happens when a former Green Beret, Virginia delegate, and homeschool dad gets tired of bad political and economic ideas and decides to start calling them out online? Millions of people start paying attention!

Known for his viral clips that mix sharp humor with hard truths, Nick Freitas has built a loyal online audience using his unique life experiences to share bite-sized nuggets of wisdom on a variety of topics--from marriage and parenting to politics, economics, and the growing war on reality. Tune in as Nick joins Frank to share important life lessons "learned the hard way" and answer questions like:

-- How did being in the military strengthen his Christian faith?
-- What are the unique benefits of marrying young?
-- How did sarcasm become his first language and where does the inspiration for his videos come from?
-- What important life lessons did he learn as a former Green Beret and Virginia State Delegate?
-- Why do we need to LIVE for our faith and family–not just die for them?
-- How did narrowly losing the Senate race against the current Virginia governor change his perspective on God's timing?
-- How does the Left's criticism of wealth and figures like Elon Musk expose their own ideological hypocrisy?
-- Is lawn care "racist" as some people claim, or have we officially reached a state of cultural psychosis?
-- Why is violence the inevitable logical conclusion of modern postmodern philosophy and leftist ideology?

Be sure to check back next week as Frank gleans more bite-size wisdom from Nick on topics like Islam, socialism, Marxism, the uniqueness of the U.S. Constitution, and so much more!
