Chuck Warren, co-host of Breaking Battlegrounds, heard every Saturday at 9 AM right here on 960 The Patriot, joins Seth in studio for the full hour. Boad Swanson, author of the newly-released book Great Souled Men: Reclaiming Aristotle’s Vision for Building Character and Virtue joins Chuck and Seth by phone to talk about why he wrote the book and his dream for a society that appreciates the virtues once again. Great Souled Men explores Aristotle's timeless principles and touches on the importance of virtues such as temperance, truthfulness, and ambition, which are essential for building strong character. The three gentlemen discuss how these values are often overlooked in modern society, leading to a lack of purpose and direction among young men. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Republics are hosting a National Convention this year to promote the party ahead of the 2026 midterms. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth.
