Publisher's summary
This program is read by the author.
Congressman and retired Green Beret Mike Waltz shares how the mindset he honed in military service can help anyone—in politics, in business or in life—conquer everyday challenges.
Up in the mountains of Afghanistan, one of Mike Waltz's snipers watched through his scope as a young boy acted as a spotter for the Taliban mortars attacking a Green Beret position. The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family—because the child wasn't willing to fight for them.
Restraint is a trait common to Green Berets, but rare on the battlefield—and even rarer in today's national political discourse.
Now, Mike Waltz is a retired Colonel and a U.S. Representative from Florida, the first Green Beret ever to be elected to Congress. After twenty-seven years in the Army, nearly all of them in the elite Special Forces where he fought America's enemies around the world, he has developed a perspective distinct from most—probably all—of his colleagues in politics today.

Chang believes it is time to take a page from Ronald Reagan’s playbook and work to bring down the enemy: the Communist Party. The Communist Party often talks about “win-win” solutions, but as its actions make clear, it believes there can be only one survivor, either the People’s Republic of China or the United States of America. China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?

It’s rare that a campaign season has anything like an IRS whistleblower and a California US attorney saying they were blocked from pursuing charges, foreign wire transfers of millions of dollars going to several members of politician’s family, suspicious slap-on-the-wrist plea deals, mounds of incrimination texts, a previously unacknowledged child with a stripper, and multiple congressional investigations. It’s unprecedented to have them all tied to one politician like Joe Biden.

The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Free speech is a human right, and the free expression of thought is at the very essence of being human. The United States was founded on this premise, and the First Amendment remains the single greatest constitutional commitment to the right of free expression in history. Yet there is a systemic effort to bar opposing viewpoints on subjects ranging from racial discrimination to police abuse, from climate change to gender equity. The Indispensable Right places the current attacks on free speech in their proper historical, legal, and political context.

Of the 1.3 million active-duty service members in the US military, only a tiny fraction are selected as “operators.” Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this level and was widely recognized as one of the best. Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can’t even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world.

In Toxic Empathy, Allie Beth Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving. She explores the five most heated issues through which toxic empathy is deployed: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspective as empathetic, like “abortion is healthcare,” “love is love,” or “no human being is illegal,” but in each case, they ignore the other side of the moral equation.

These have been eroded not only by globalization, but by the lies we tell ourselves, including, “Anyone who loves each other is a family,” “Real community can be found on the internet,” and “We’re all citizens of the world.”

Critic reviews
"An inspirational call to action"—Booklist
"Mike Waltz’s latest book, Hard Truths, is a must read, not just for every leader in America, but for every citizen. From combat in the mountains of Afghanistan, to advising at the highest levels of the Pentagon and the White House, to building one of the country’s fastest growing small companies in the private sector, and ultimately to continuing his service in the halls of Congress, the retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel and current congressman combines his personal experiences and lessons with examples from the pages of history to illuminate the path ahead. In Hard Truths, he applies the Green Beret's principles of unconventional warfare to leadership and governance as only someone with his unique background can. Veterans like Congressman Waltz who have sacrificed and invested in America offer hope for the future. Waltz understands the importance of maintaining the moral high ground in combat and in congress and of applying the lessons of the past to create a brighter future for us all. Add Hard Truths to your library today!”—Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Terminal List Series
"Very few people know as much about the American military and political system as Congressman-Colonel Michael Waltz. In Hard Truths, he brings us into the battles he has fought all over the world to help us understand the mindset of the Green Berets and to understand what Americans need to do to win the fight for a well-rounded moral life."—Brian Kilmeade, six-time New York Times bestselling author, co-host Fox & Friends, and host of "The Brian Kilmeade Show"

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

The religious wars of the crusades are renowned for their military engagements. But the period was witness to brutality beyond the battlefield. More so than any other medieval war zone, the Holy Land was rife with unprecedented levels of criminality and violence. In the first history of its kind, Steve Tibble explores the criminal underbelly of the crusades. From gangsters and bandits to muggers and pirates, Tibble presents extraordinary evidence of an illicit underworld. He shows how the real problem in the region stemmed not from religion but from young men.

With rich examples and stories, the authors show how deeply ingrained the legacy model of leadership remains and how destructive it is, causing waste and loss of human potential, stifling innovation, and ultimately resulting in what the authors call "organizational darkness."

The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

Great book! Must read!
This book highlights the importance of selfless servitude, leadership and finding your personal inner-strength. The book also covers Mike’s personal and professional life experiences as he details his successes, failures, and humilities requiring grit and dedication to overcome tasks. From the battlefields to corporations, and the highest offices in the land, America today needs real leadership. Those leaders must be tough, approachable, diplomatic, principled and have a vision how to keep this country free, secure, and prosperous. Mike demonstrates how leaders must be willing to rightfully earn and keep their positions through merit, sacrifice, and dedication. Mike sets a great example for others to emulate and follow. I hope to see Mike remain in politics and eventually seek and enter into a higher office. Bravo Zulu!

Compelling and candid account of lessons learned from a first hand participant.
Col. Waltz provides several themes throughout the book related to opportunities for our culture to get back to what makes Americans different from so many other cultures. Starting with tenacity and personal commitment to achieve. Personal discipline is a character trait that needs to be reintroduced to our youngsters and anyone with a victim mentality.
