What happens when a retired Green Beret starts questioning the stories America is being told?
In this Digital Social Hour Episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Nathan Cornacchia from Valhalla VFT to talk about his military background, his rise on YouTube, stolen valor investigations, the Charlie Kirk case, Turning Point USA, the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, foreign influence, America First politics, China, Taiwan, Iran, Venezuela, and the future of U.S. power.
Nate breaks down how his experience as a Green Beret shapes the way he looks at security failures, foreign policy, military spending, and global conflict. The conversation moves from YouTube growth and veteran content to deeper questions about war, money, political influence, and whether America is still putting its own people first.
This is a wide-ranging conversation about power, media, war, and the shifting future of America.
Watch until the end because the final stretch gets into China, Iran, U.S. foreign aid, and why Nate believes America’s biggest threat may not be the one most people are focused on.
