From Battlefield to Ballot Box: A Veteran's Fight Against Marxism
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Chase Spears sits down with Chandler Langevin, a Navy veteran and Palm Bay City Councilman, to explore a journey shaped by real-world experiences. Chandler shares his eye-opening deployment to Afghanistan, where restrictive rules and political priorities cost American lives, sparking his disillusionment with government institutions. From there, he recounts travels studying the devastating impacts of Marxist revolutions in places like Cambodia's Killing Fields, witnessing firsthand the horrors of ideologies that claim millions.
Back home, COVID lockdowns, election concerns, and vaccine mandates pushed him into activism—fighting for medical freedom, parental rights, Second Amendment protections, and ultimately winning a city council seat to flip a poorly run local government. The conversation dives deep into the need for virtuous Christian leadership at the local level, the dangers of bureaucratic capture, the merchant-class influence in modern politics, and why men must reclaim masculinity, involvement, and purpose to restore America.
A powerful call to bold, principled action.
