    Incredible Interview with Frank Schaeffer
    This was one of the most informative and insightful podcast interviews I’ve heard, and I listen to a lot! Every American should listen to this in light of our upcoming election. Thank you for providing this!

    The Absolute Best
    I have listened to a boatload of podcasts and this is by far the best for critical thinkers and patriots!
  • Citizen John Q
    Deeply Thoughtful
    Burn the Boats underlines the present extreme threat to American and world systems of democratic governance, the systems that promote the freedom and health of humanity. The host somehow manages to remain soft spoken, deeply thoughtful, and yet positive while shining a bright illumination on extremely dark and divisive subjects.

    What a great podcast!
    You do such a great job with some very prickly & controversial topics. I love your show because I don’t leave feeling completely hopeless. When I hear your commentary, I feel less panic and despair. You are so grounded in common sense. I was pleasantly surprised to find you. I’m accustomed to military people being Conservative Republicans. Hearing a liberal person who served is so enlightening. With project 2025 hanging over us, I am glancing at the military because Trump has an amazing capability to convince people to act directly against their own interests. Trump calls people who lose their lives serving their country as losers. Ken, what do you think of Trump’s plan to invoke the Insurrection Act? Will the military comply or will they refuse? He’s got people doing loyalty testing of people who are eligible to serve the Melon Felon for Trump 2.0z His prospects for winning the WH soar as the media is continues to normalize his behavior.

    Great guests, insightful interviews
    Always has intelligent guests and interviews that focus on areas that are key to our political times; I don’t seem to find these anywhere else. Thank you for your podcast. Highly recommended for its solid and sober assessments of where our democracy stands and its call to join in the work to save it while we still can.

    Fantastic, Facts Driven, Stress Free šŸ‘šŸ»
    I love this podcast and watch his YouTube program as well on The Meidas Touch channel. I feel my shoulders relax knowing Ken is giving us the REAL news not the lying blues from Fox or other non news news stations. The station wannabes. Thank you Ken ! It’s obvious your boat has stabilizers !!! I am now a loyal fan ! 😊

    Real + Honest + Thought Provoking
    Yes, there are true Americans who wish to protect our Democracy. These are intelligent, real discussions that gives hope knowing that there are still good people who take their service and oath to this country seriously. Burn the Boats and Against All Enemies are must listen to podcasts each week.Thank you for your continued service Mr. Harbaugh.

    Retired Marine Corps Naval Aviator glad to hear a different voice
    I found your podcast through YouTube and have enjoyed the first two videos that I found. As a Texan and retired Marine Corps officer it is refreshing to hear someone that exploring issues in a deeper and more genuine fashion. I noticed the Wings of Gold on your shelf in the video. Best of luck in growing your audience and encouraging people to think and listen.

    General McChrystal Podcast gives me Hope
    I just discovered your podcast through your work with the Midas Touch Youtube. ā€œBurn The Boatsā€ is excellent and thorough when it comes to disseminating facts information. On the local state level. It’s comforting to know there are people like me who want to see our country hold on to, save and fight for our democracy.

    Burn The Boats
    I haven’t seen a bad podcast from Ken yet! It’s an excellent source of up to date interviews on YouTube. Keep up the great work.
  • msm707
    Thought provoking
    As a non gun owning person living rurally this podcast gave me a lot to chew on. I am resistant to the whole ā€œdo or die ā€œ position exposed by the ā€œ Burn the Boatsā€ theme. It feels like as a society we are going backwards from civility to being ready to shoot our neighbors. I don’t have any answers so appreciate the information and awareness you are bringing. Hopefully some will decide the direction our country is going is not going to serve us by listening to your guests.

    Treats the current situation seriously
    I love your work, but please tell me why many many guests have to engage in what-aboutism. Stanley McChrystal mentioned that on the left you have defund the police. The left has pretty much retreated from that position after reasoned discussion. I just don't get it.
  • Matt 755
    There’s Hope!
    General McChrystal gives me hope that our military leaders understand the true meaning and value of a complex and moral society. If the rest of our leaders were this intelligent and wise, we would all be in good hands. Alas, that’s not the case. Keep up this great and important work.

    Fantastic host/interviewer
    Hard to say if it’s more comforting, inspiring or disturbing to listen to this podcast — but it’s the kind of truth-telling this moment in our history requires. Ken Harbaugh is eloquent, honest and deeply informed. He truly understands all sides of our current political divisions and speaks with empathy for everyone involved — while pulling no punches in describing the moral collapse of one of our major political parties and the urgent need for EVERY citizen of good faith to get involved in saving our democracy. Listen — and act.

    Mila Atmos Moving the needle
    I am so glad to discover Mila and her thoughts. Ken really does excellent interviews. He asks intelligent questions and gets genuine answers that one can chew on, and in every episode Ive watched I learn a LOT. We are so starved on good discussion that this podcast is a true breath of fresh air, thanks Ken! I have appreciated your wonderful and diverse guests enormously.

    Gay Navy Seal
    I was very surprised that the LGBTQ agenda has made it to BTB I listen weekly, not even reading what the show is about. A few minutes in I found out the subject matter. I immediately ended listening. How about you put the SEAL that decided he/she was transgender then decided he/she wasn’t transgender. I’ll unsubscribe before that nonsense is broadcast Thanks Chris Cox

    Will Somers interview
    I had no idea Qanon was still a thing. I'm concerned that Trump's rhetoric will set off the loonies again.

    I listen to every episode. Ken does a great job of exposing his audience to often overlooked or understated problems in our democracy.

    Ken does a great job digging into both the intellectual and emotional heart of issues. You won’t be disappointed if you are looking for a fresh and authentic take on current affairs and politics.

    a must-listen
    every episode is unpredictable in the best way possible, with one-of-a-kind stories from incredible guests and a skillfully engaging host; add listening to this podcast to the top of your to-do list—you won’t regret it!
  • WinstonTheWolf
    Should be more open about its politics
    I thought this podcast would be different from other political podcasts, but it’s just another platform for the progressive left to push their agenda, but with the appearance of being in the center—which it isn’t.
