Warning, you're about to enter the arena and join the battle to save America with your host, John Parnell.

Good evening, America.

Welcome to Battleground Live.

This is the show where we kick ass and we take names and we lock horns with the

radical left.

We never quit.

We never surrender from sea to shining scene.

Everybody in between.

Welcome American Patriots on this glorious, glorious Thursday.

Week is flying by.

I've kind of become the unofficial spokesperson for Pete Hegseth's confirmation process on

the secretary of defense.

Nobody asked me to be.

I just, I just defend my friends when they need to be defended.

And it's something that's very, very important to me.

Actually, I'll tell you a kind of a crazy, but also very, very personal story of why I

think that I am wired like this.

And if you're an OG on the show and been listening, we've been on the air now for just

a little over a year, you know that I've said many times that we should judge the quality of our

relationships and friendships based on whether or not those people are there when times are really tough.

Who cares?

I mean, it's always nice to have people in your life when times are great and you're riding high when luck runs with the fortunate son.
