Folks, North Carolina is showing us exactly what the fight for real change looks like when everyday Americans get fed up with business-as-usual in Washington. My guest today didn’t wait for permission or perfect polling numbers — he stepped up as a retired Green Beret, a devoted family man, and the founder and CEO of Savage Freedoms. After Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Adam Smith and his team mobilized veterans, volunteers, helicopters, and millions of pounds of critical supplies to people the system left behind. That same no-nonsense leadership and spirit of service is exactly why Adam Smith made a bold GOP primary run for Congress in North Carolina’s 11th District. He challenged the establishment on the issues politicians only talk about when it’s politically safe. He saw the gap between empty promises and what communities actually need — on border security, government accountability, and putting America First without apology. Today we’re going to talk about what it really takes to drive change against a tempest of entrenched power, especially as we watch critical signals coming from the courts, from Congress, and from the front lines of national security and counter-terrorism.
