Lieutenant Colonel "Buzz" Patterson, United States Air Force (Retired), is a former Republican Congressional Candidate, CA-7; military combat pilot; distinguished White House military aide; bestselling author; popular conservative public speaker; and TV talk show host. Among Patterson’s literary efforts include two New York Times best sellers, Dereliction of Duty and Reckless Disregard. His most recent books include War Crimes and Conduct Unbecoming.

Patterson served 20 years as a pilot on active duty in the United States Air Force and saw tours of duty world-wide including combat operations in Grenada, Bosnia, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Rwanda, and Haiti.

From 1996 to 1998, Colonel Patterson was Military Aide to President Bill Clinton. During that time, he served at the right hand of President and Mrs. Hillary Clinton and was responsible for the President's Emergency Satchel, otherwise known as the "Nuclear Football," the black bag with the nation's nuclear capability that accompanies the president at all times. As such, Patterson had an office and a bedroom in the White House and accompanied the First Family at all times. In addition, Colonel Patterson was operational commander for all military units assigned to the White House, which included Air Force One, Marine One, Camp David, and the White House Transportation Agency. It was during these years that Colonel Patterson, disgusted and appalled with what he’d personally witnessed in the Clinton White House, developed his conservative vision.

Today, he believes in restoring our nation’s constitutional principles and returning our nation to its rightful place as the “shining city on a hill.” Among his many military commendations, Patterson received the Defense Superior Service Medal for accomplishments while at the White House and was awarded the Air Force Air Medal for flying combat support missions during the Bosnian War in 1994. He retired in 2001 to pursue a career as a writer, consultant and conservative speaker.

Lieutenant Colonel Patterson comes on the podcast to discuss his observations of the Clinton White House, including stories of disregard for military, sexual harassment and lack of morality from both Bill and Hilary. He also discusses Washington in general, being a pilot during war and so much more!
