On Offense with Kris Goldsmith

<p><em>On Offense with Kris Goldsmith</em> is a podcast about fighting for democracy and organizing against fascism. I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran, antifascist investigator, and founder of Task Force Butler and Veterans Fighting Fascism—and together with my guests, we bring a strategic, hard-hitting perspective to the most urgent threats facing America. We call it <em>On Offense</em> because defending democracy isn’t enough—we need to take the fight to the fascists. Each episode breaks down how everyday Americans can push back against authoritarianism—drawing on experience from the battlefield to the streets to the halls of power. This show is for anyone serious about building a pro-democracy movement that wins. No fluff. No fence-sitting. Just real talk from people who’ve been in the fight and aren’t backing down.</p>

Episode 1

Historian and veteran Tad Stoermer joins host Kris Goldsmith for the debut episode of On Offense. Together, they dig into the dangerous power of patriotic myth-making—like that in Ken Burns’ feel-good history—and how it’s left Americans unprepared to face modern authoritarianism. They cover:– What the Founders really understood about tyranny– Why “defending democracy” isn’t enough– How weaponized nostalgia helps fascists win– What resistance actually looked like in early America
