Memorial Day — Remembering Criminals or Remembering Heroes?

In Episode 94 of The Daily Carry Podcast, we tackled some of the hardest conversations facing America today.
We talked about how Memorial Day has shifted from honoring fallen service members to glorifying criminals and influencers. We discussed racism, division, and the spiritual decay tearing through our culture.
We also covered the tragic story of an 18-year-old Colorado mother who lost her life after a botched abortion, and the silence surrounding stories like hers.
Most importantly, we talked about the only true hope for this country and this generation: Jesus Christ. No politics. No fake outrage. Just truth, conviction, and prayer.
As always, we ended the episode with prayer.

Inside the Aurora Theater Massacre | Retired Bomb Squad Officer Exposes the Reality of Violent Crime

In Episode 93 of The Daily Carry Podcast, we sit down with Jon Vaala, a retired Colorado EOD police officer and bomb squad veteran who responded to some of the most horrific scenes imaginable, including the Aurora Theater Massacre.
Jon gives a firsthand account of what it was like walking into the theater that night: the chaos, the threat of explosives, the overwhelming horror, and even the smell that still stays with him years later.
But this conversation goes far beyond one tragic night.
We also dive into the growing global issue of violent criminals being repeatedly released back onto the streets by weak judicial systems, activist policies, and soft-on-crime leadership. From judges handing out minimal consequences to repeat offenders, to the devastating impact these failures have on innocent families and communities, we ask the hard question:
At what point do broken systems and irresponsible decisions share responsibility for the bloodshed that follows?
We also discuss:
• The Marine killed by a repeat criminal in Wilmington, North Carolina
• The tragic case of Henry Nowal in the UK
• Media narratives vs reality
• Law enforcement frustrations behind the scenes
• The psychological toll first responders carry for life
• Why accountability matters at every level of society
This is a raw, emotional, and unfiltered conversation about evil, justice, trauma, and the systems meant to protect the innocent.
As always, we end the episode sharing faith and prayer.
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28
 

What Happens When Society Stops Saying “No”? America Changed FAST

America didn’t change overnight… but looking back, the warning signs were everywhere.
In this episode we react to the viral map charting gay marriage acceptance across the U.S., discuss how cultural “boundary probing” keeps escalating over time, unpack the disturbing trans-related family murder case making headlines, and revisit the terrifying stroller clip that shocked millions online.
We also dive into Josh Howerton’s response to Theo Von’s powerful reflections on faith, healing, and whether people sometimes cling to brokenness because healing would fundamentally change who they are. Culture, politics, faith, and viral chaos, all in one episode.

Welcome to Episode 90 of The Daily Carry Podcast and the first installment of the Gubernatorial Shootout Series.
In this episode of Shoot N’ Pod, we hit the range with Victor Marx for a full day of shooting, gear talk, and conversation about the future of Colorado.

Candace Said WHAT?! Victor Marx Responds (With Receipts)

In this episode of The Daily Carry Podcast, we walk through some of the most serious allegations currently circulating and give space for real answers, real context, and real evidence.
This is not a hit piece. This is not a platform for blind defense. This is direct questions, asked clearly, without dodging, and without distortion.
 
We cover:
• The core of Candace Owens’ claims
• Questions surrounding public controversies
• The Charlie Kirk timeline and relationship
• ATF and weapons-related accusations
• Fold AR messages and context
• ATP operations and impact claims
• Financial transparency and structure
• Personal history, credibility, and documentation
• Military service and credentials
 
Our goal is simple: What’s true? What’s not? What can actually be proven? We believe truth doesn’t need to be protected, it needs to be revealed.
And in a time where narratives move faster than facts, conversations like this matter more than ever. Watch the full episode, weigh the responses, and come to your own conclusions.

Soft Sentences & Hard Truths: SCOTUS, Judges & Justice Under Fire

What happens when the highest court in the land makes a ruling that could reshape how America votes forever? We break down the recent Supreme Court decision on race-based district mapping, and why some are saying it’s long overdue. But that’s just the beginning.
We dive into a disturbing case where justice took a shocking turn, raising serious questions about accountability in the courtroom. Are some judges going too easy on violent criminals? And who holds them responsible when they do?
Then we zoom out to the bigger picture, slavery. Not just history, but a brutal reality still affecting millions across the globe today… and why it may actually be worse than ever before.
Through it all, we bring it back to faith, truth, and the ultimate source of justice. This episode closes with a powerful reminder of where hope is found, even in a broken world.

White House Shooting: What REALLY Happened?!

In Episode 87 of The Daily Carry Podcast, we break down everything we know so far about the shocking shooting at the White House Correspondence Dinner. We go deep into the timeline, the response, and the viral footage showing the suspect running straight through a checkpoint while agents appeared to hesitate. What went wrong, what went right, and what could have happened?
We also discuss the return of the controversial Secret Service DEI hire and ask tough questions about standards, training, and accountability. Should protective agencies be focusing more on real-world defensive skills?
To drive the point home, we compare that failure to an unexpected hero, a pizza delivery driver who didn’t hesitate to trip a fleeing suspect and assist in an arrest. Sometimes instinct and courage matter more than protocol.
We wrap things up by previewing upcoming guest episodes and, as always, bringing it back to faith, truth, and staying grounded in God no matter how chaotic things get.
Stay ready. Stay grounded. Stay faithful.

Shoot N’ Pod: Range Day Field Trip with Teddy Collins

Episode 85 of The Daily Carry Podcast takes us out of the studio and onto the range for a Shoot N’ Pod field trip with Teddy Collins. We spent the day running drills, sending rounds, and having a whole lot of fun. From dueling trees and rotating targets to movement drills and cowboy guns, this range day had a little bit of everything, including skeet shooting with a sawed-off. Has anyone ever laced Tannerite into clay pigeons for that extra kick?
We also got into some real conversation with Teddy, talking gear, training mindset, and his current run in the Colorado Senate race. He shared where he stands, what he’s seeing on the ground, and how he plans to make an impact for the people of Colorado if elected.
We wrapped the day the right way: with gratitude, reflection, and prayer.
