This book gives an extraordinary and timely update to the fraudulent claim that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction. It’s a detailed insider account of how a Pentagon cabal strategized to manipulate intelligence, pressure the United Nations, forced a Congressional authorization for the use of force, and scared the American people after 9/11 into supporting an attack on Iraq. Dennis Fritz is a Pentagon insider and senior enlisted leader with nearly three decades standing. He worked directly for - and advised - some of the most senior General Officers in the Department of Defense. They included General Richard B. Myers, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the height of the Iraq War. After military retirement, Fritz found himself inside Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon working for Douglas Feith, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and key architect of the case in favor of war. Fritz’ access to thousands of personal handwritten notes, documents, and Pentagon’s internal conversations, allowed him to tell the hidden story of why America invaded Iraq. Reviewers of the book, Deadly Betrayal, say that Dennis Fritz discovered three reasons for the misguided Iraq War: To restore American “credibility” in the Middle East. To go to war on Israel’s behalf. And to deliver “democracy” at gunpoint. The results were a massive failure on all counts. The reviewers state that the lessons of the Iraq War remain crucial for our own time, as various lobbies continue to try to manipulate the US into still more unnecessary and reckless wars - such as an attack on Iran. In spite of the historic and contemporary significance of the book it has remained shrouded in silence. On Oct 30, 2024 Judge Andrew Napolitano gave Dennis Fritz one of the first interviews on his YouTube channel: Judging Freedom. Judge Napolitano served as a New Jersey Superior Court Judge and as legal analyst for Fox News. After his career in TV, Napolitano started his own Youtube show - Judging Freedom. You can watch the full 24 minute interview on YouTube. Search for the title: Dennis Fritz: Why the US Invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. DATE: Oct. 30, 2024

What happens when a fiercely independent lawyer, an accidental diplomat, and a president with a talent for making enemies steps into the highest office in the land? You get John Adams—America’s most underrated Founding Father and the man who somehow managed to lead a nation while setting it on fire at the same time. In this episode of The Buck Starts Here, Kyle and Eric take a deep dive into Adams’ presidency—one filled with international intrigue, domestic chaos, and a brand-new navy that wasn’t quite sure what it was doing yet. From the diplomatic disaster of the XYZ Affair to the highly controversial Alien and Sedition Acts (because jailing your critics is always a great look), Adams' term was anything but smooth sailing. But Adams wasn’t just a political lightning rod—he was also a man with deep moral convictions, a complicated relationship with power, and a front-row seat to the rise of political parties that would shape the country for centuries. The hosts break down the economic struggles of the era, the role of privateers in early American naval strategy, and why Adams’ biggest problem might have been the shadow of George Washington himself. Kyle and Eric bring their signature mix of history, humor, and economic insight to untangle the mess, the myths, and the legacy of America’s most reluctant one-term president. Tune in to hear the unexpected stories, the economic realities, and the fiery debates that made Adams’ presidency one for the history books.
