American Patriotism in 2026 with John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting

Musician and cultural critic John Ondrasick of Five for Fighting joins the show for a no-holds-barred talk on free speech, media hypocrisy, and American patriotism in 2026. He shares his hero's journey to the stage, dissects shifting narratives around Biden and Trump, and unpacks the "free speech martyr" tactic that distracts from real accountability. Ondrasick calls out the politicization of sports, cancel culture's grip on the music industry, and why moral clarity, calling evil actors evil, matters now more than ever. He weighs the opportunities and risks for artists embracing unapologetic patriotism amid today's culture wars.
