America's Frontlines Podcast 27 May 2026

In this episode of America’s Frontlines: * Colonel Denny and Skip take a hard look at the United Nations and ask whether the institution America helped build after World War II is increasingly being shaped by China and the Chinese Communist Party. From leadership positions within the UN to growing influence over global policy—and billions in U.S. funding—they examine whether American taxpayers are supporting an organization that may no longer align with American interests. * They also break down a consequential week in world events—from President Trump halting a proposed AI cybersecurity order over concerns it could hinder American innovation in the race against China, to reports of an Iran-linked threat against Ivanka Trump, a sweeping Pentagon review of the military justice system, and the powerful nationwide response honoring a World War II veteran who was nearly buried alone. Together, these stories reveal the ongoing tension between security, freedom, reform, and the enduring spirit of everyday Americans. * As always, Colonel Denny delivers another round of his clever one-liners to keep things balanced. * Our featured guest is Jon Turnbull, whose military career is filled with extraordinary experiences—and whose survival through some of them is remarkable in itself. * We also bring you our regular look back at military history from this point in time to help keep us sharp and connected to the lessons of the past. * Retired Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Roland Ashby returns with more “Warrant Wisdom,” this time focusing on hypersonic technology and the growing strategic challenges surrounding it. * And finally, we spend time with team member Gil Maza, retired Marine and former Border Patrol agent, as he shares his perspective on the current situation facing the country and the challenges ahead.
