What would you sacrifice to defend freedom? In this explosive and deeply personal session, Matt Strickland — Army veteran, combat medic, restaurant owner, and federal whistleblower — shares how he risked everything to stand against government overreach, political betrayal, and corruption at the highest levels.

From the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to the front lines of America’s fight for liberty, Strickland has never stopped serving his country. When COVID-19 mandates hit, he refused to enforce unconstitutional restrictions at his Virginia restaurant, Gourmeltz, choosing to trust Americans to make their own decisions. The government retaliated — revoking his licenses, suing him, and trying to destroy his business. But Strickland refused to back down — and won after a brutal 3.5-year fight.

But that was just the beginning. Matt exposes how politicians from both parties — including Republicans he helped elect — betrayed their promises and continued persecuting him. He also reveals shocking details from inside the Department of Homeland Security, where he uncovered corruption, fought to have fentanyl declared a weapon of mass destruction, and was fired for refusing to stay silent.

In this unfiltered conversation, Matt lays it all bare:

⚔️ How he defied unconstitutional COVID mandates — and why he’ll never comply

🏛️ The truth about Republican betrayal and why no politician will save you

💉 How corruption and Big Pharma blocked action on the fentanyl crisis

🧠 Why information is the most powerful weapon in today’s war for truth

📣 Why we must question everything, get loud, and hold leaders accountable

✊ Why he believes America needs a revolution — not with muskets, but with courage, action, and unity

This is more than a story — it’s a call to arms for every American who refuses to be silenced. Matt’s message is simple: We the People must take our country back.
