Behind Enemy Lines Radio

Outside of the 2016 Presidential primaries, another primary that pundits will be watching is the fight for Sen. John McCain's seat in Arizona. One of the contenders lining up support is Alex Meluskey, a small business owner who has taken up the grassroots mantle to take on a grassroots charge at the 28-year incumbent. While at the Values Voter Summit in DC, Behind Enemy Lines caught up with Meluskey - who actually ran into Sen. McCain there! - on a whole host of issues.

We'll be bringing you a whole bunch of great audio from the Values Voter Summit that took place this past weekend in Washington D.C., including Gov. Mike Huckabee's press conference, and our exclusive interview with Jason and David Benham! Then, listen to our exclusive interview with Dr. Alveda King to win a SIGNED COPY of her book King Rules!

One of the great things about attending conferences like Value Voters Summit is exploring the Exhibition Halls where vendors, interest groups and politically-affiliated organizations gather to spread education, promote products and enlighten attendees to great opportunities. Opportunities like Liberty HealthShare. Liberty HealthShare is a healthcare sharing ministry of Gospel Light Mennonite Church Medical Aid Plan, Inc. which provides an alternative to traditional health insurance. Health cost sharing is currently being used by thousands of families nationwide as an organized means of sharing medical expenses whereby like-minded people of the same ethical or religious background pool resources together in a self-pay system that keeps costs down by taking advantage of an easy enrollment process, a transparent, secure, on-line payment system, and a process to connect to a community of support. Listen to our interview with Dale Bellis, Liberty HealthShare's Executive Director to learn more about this great organization.

Congressman Gohmert, right before speaking at a dinner at Values Voter Summit, took some time to go Behind Enemy Lines to give us his reaction to Speaker Boehner's resignation.

BREAKING AUDIO from Values Voters Summit! Gene Berardelli joined an impromptu interview at the Values Voter Summit with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). He talks about House Speaker John Boehner's shocking resignation, Donald Trump, and unifying the Republican Party as we head down the road to Election 2016!

It's the two subjects they say you shouldn't mix! Well this week on Behind Enemy Lines Radio, Gene Berardelli and special guest co-host Lu Esposito of #RedNationRising Radio do just that! Gene & Lu talk about the continued fallout from the CNN Debate, including the end of the road for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Then, they tackle tough questions surrounding Pope Francis's visit to the US - including whether his good will will be used to score political points. And speaking of mixing religion and politics, Gene outlines his preview of the Values Voter Summit taking place in Washington D.C. All that, plus WHO YA GOT for this week's Buffoon of the Week!

Taped immediately after the #CNNDebate, Behind Enemy Lines gives you our snap reaction to what we heard on stage from the 2016 Republican candidates for President in California. Gene & Russ are joined by a myriad of WAAR radio hosts, including Vito & Vito, Watson Prunier and Duke Machado, as well as getting some insight from those who attended the Brooklyn Young Republicans debate watch party at Cafe On The Hill in Brooklyn, NY. Who won? Who lost? Who didn't do enough? Relive the awesome and the awkward, and debate who you think came out on top!

BEL brings you inside the #StopIranRally with reports from two people on the ground there - Brooke McGowan, the Executive Director of Concerned Christians for America, and regular BEL Contributor / PolitiChick Mona Salama! Plus, Gene Berardelli and Amanda Kohut weigh in on whether the rally was meant to bring change, or was a campaign stump speech in disguise! All that - AND Buffoon of the Week! WHO YA GOT, America!

We all have that crazy relative that is fun and cringeworthy all at the same time, right? Well for the Democrats, no one personifies fun (for us) and cringeworthy (for them) than "Crazy Uncle" Joe Biden. Relive some of his... um... finer moments during the show. But this show also runs the gamut. Gene Berardelli and Russell Gallo talk about the juggernaut that is Donald Trump, and Russ goes off on a rant about how women actually are different than man! Oh, and you're all about to be Yak Attacked! Our version of "Crazy Uncle Joe" decides the show on a little joy ride to talk about.... (formerly) Orthodox Reggae Artist Matisyahu??? A jam packed show - plus WHO YA GOT for Buffoon of the Week! Vote NOW on www.behindenemylinesradio.us

Gene and Russ go back Behind Enemy Lines! This week, they re-count the epic failure that is Hillary Clinton, and the ghastly horrors described in the latest CMP-Planned Parenthood video. Can the Clinton campaign get any worse? We all know about the horrid press conference where Hillary was totally exasperated in discussing EmailGate, but did you see what BEL uncovered about her Charleston, SC office? All we have to say is "Ick." Then the boys get serious in talking about the 7th Planned Parenthood video, painstakingly addressing Holly O'Donnell's graphic account of the horrible and unethical practice of organ harvesting from aborted babies - not fetal tissue: babies. All that, plus WHO YA GOT! Buffoon of the Week Returns! Vote on www.behindenemylinesradio.us

BEL's Gene Berardelli is joined by PolitiChicks' Mona Salama and Vito DiGiovanni of the Vito and Vito Show to re-count their personal experiences covering the GOP Debate in Cleveland, including stories from the ACU's Buckeye Boot Camp and Debate Watch Party, from "The Q" where the debates were held, as well as rallies and some stops on the road. We also hear a "Snap reaction" to the debates from Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, and check on some BEL Debate predictions that panned out - and some that didn't! And stick around for Gene's "Final Thought" on the rise of the #Trumpservative - it's awesome!

We've been dying to use a "Family Guy" pun on this show for years, and we finally got to do it. (all-right!) Russell Gallo's triumphant return is a doozy, folks. Enjoy this great episode where the boys discuss the huge Fox News debate in Cleveland, Cecil the Lion, Planned Parenthood, the Camp Shelby shootings and more.

Behind Enemy Lines goes international this week with the OUtreach Officer for the Liberty GB Party in the United Kingdom, Jack Buckby. Jack is leading the fight for conservatives in the UK when it comes to the Islamization, or as they say across the pond "Islamisation" of British political and social culture. And Jack says that America can learn from Great Britain's mistakes - but there's not much time. You may not like what you hear. You may not want to think about this issue. But take it from us - open your mind and listen without prejudice to what Jack has to say. If you do, we guarantee that you'll leave the interview questioning - can that happen here? Then, I try to "keep it real" on two major news issues - Mark Meadows's attempt to oust House Speaker John Boehner and what to do about the ghastly, horrid disgusting Planned Parenthood practices of selling baby parts. It's a show of "hard truths" that real patriots can deal with head on. Are you one of those patriots?

et's play two! BEL welcomes Tea Party Nation's Judson Phillips and American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp Behind Enemy Lines in separate back-to-back interviews! Judson not only broke news about the BRAND NEW Tea Party Nation app now available in all app stores for all mobile devices, but he discussed pending legislation that will positively affect your tax burden. Tune in to wonk out! Then immediately after, ACU Chair Matt Schlapp joined me to discuss the 2016 Election field. After shouldering the disappointment that I will not be running for President, Matt talked about Ohio Gov. Kasich, The Donald, Hillary and the layout of the Road to 2016. Will we have a nominee by the time CPAC 2016? Tune in to get Matt's opinion. Then, PolitiChick Mona Salama stops by to pull off the triple play by adding her two cents on Election 2016, but to also report from her experience at the Stop Iran Rally held in NYC. What speeches stole the show? And what Presidential candidate may have upped his profile? Tune in to hear Mona's analysis! From top to bottom - an amazing lineup!

It's always a pleasure to have Van Hipp on the show, and last night was no exception. Van joined Matt Fairley and me for a no-holds-barred discussion of the Iran Deal. Van pulled no punches in the interview, even comparing President Obama to Neville Chamberlain, and dropping a lot of knowledge on us. Did you know that there is no land-based missile defense on the ENTIRE east coast?!? That's just an example of what Van told us. Matt and I also talked about how CBS's Major Garrett may be the last of the dying breed of MSM journalists after taking President Obama to task on his administration's failure to address 4 American hostages languishing in Iran while he lauds the merits of his nuclear deal. We also give our pros and cons of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's recently-announced Presidential candidacy.
