Look, anywhere you turn, you’re going to see the challenges we face as Americans. Some, just designed to stir up infighting and eyeballs on media outlets. Others, genuine threats to our way of life. It’s hard to know which is which but it’s imperative we start having some real discussions about the real issues.
My guest today is Mike Ritland, former Navy SEAL, New York Times Bestselling Author, and author of his latest book, Unf*ck America: A Respectful Open-Minded Conversation. Today, Mike and I don’t see eye to eye on everything but we have a powerful conversation about emotion, religion and bias in politics, whether or not inequalities exists in America, what hate speech is and isn’t, money in politics and the dangers of lobbying, the eroding checks and balances in American politics, and ultimately, how to Unfu*k America.

My guest today, is former Navy SEAL and New York Times Bestselling Author, Mike Ritland. He is the author of his newest book, Unf*ck America and is the host of the popular podcast Mike Drop.
He is a threepeat guest on the podcast and for good reason. Despite our few disagreements, Mike is always willing to have an open discussion and pulls no punches in the way that he views modern culture, society, and America in general. In a world of people afraid to speak their mind, Mike is never one of those individuals and I enjoy our discussion and his friendship immensely.
Agree or disagree, you men are going to enjoy this conversation and, I can already hear you yelling through the radio or ear buds while you listen to this one. Enjoy.

Gents, I’ve been talking about if for months but my son and I finally recorded our first episode of his podcast, Man in the Making. This is a podcast of father/son conversations around all the discussions we know we should have but often find a way out of them – porn, drugs, girls, puberty, business, relationships, etc.
And, starting soon, he’ll also be interviewing incredible men as he strive to learn how to become a man. Guys, this podcast is designed for you to listen with your boys so we’ll keep it clean and relevant as we really want to unlock the conversations you guys want to have with your boys.
To get notified about when the first podcast drops on December 31st, head to www.maninthemaking.com/update.
