Episode Synopsis
In this powerful episode of The Source, we sit down with Lt Col Alex Pelbath (Ret.), decorated combat veteran, Air Force leader, and America First conservative candidate for U.S. Congress (SC-01).
Alex Pelbath isn’t a politician—he’s a mission-driven patriot who gets things done. After 22 years of service and more than 4,000 flight hours—including 1,000 in combat—Alex led from the front during one of America’s darkest military moments: the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. As Air Mission Commander, he personally flew the last American plane out of Kabul, saving lives amid chaos and earning both the Distinguished Flying Cross and the “Sully” Sullenberger Award for Courage.
From his time advising the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to shaping two national defense budgets, Alex has seen firsthand how bloated bureaucracy and weak leadership threaten America’s security. Now, he’s taking that fight to Washington.
Tune in to hear:
The untold story of the final evacuation from Kabul
How Alex Pelbath’s combat experience shapes his vision for Congress
His mission to secure the border, stop the fentanyl crisis, and restore America’s strength
Why leadership—not politics—will determine the future of our nation
