Ep. 075 - Cpl Julio Rosas - Journalist and Marine Reservist

Published: Sept. 18, 2020, 6:07 p.m.

Julio Rosas is a MAGTF Planner in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and he's a senior writer for the conservative news outlet Townhall.com. In this interview, Rosas and I quickly discuss his Marine Corps experience before moving on to his role as a journalist covering protests and riots across the United States.

Rosas has been on scene for some of the most dangerous protests in the country. From the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville to BLM protest/riots in Kenosha, Rosas provides quality video detailing the events he covers. I appreciate him coming on the show and will continue to turn to his twitter page for updated coverage of events across the country.
