Bryan Suits (born 1964) is an American war veteran of three military conflicts in Kuwait, Bosnia, and Iraq, and has been a talk radio host for more than 10 years.
However, he ultimately was summoned back to KFI hosting Saturday evening program "Dark Secret Place", Sunday evening program "Super Hyper Local Sunday"a and served as the official military and tactical sounding board for other KFI shows for related news.
[4][5] Enlisting in the United States Army Reserve in 1989, he served in Operation Desert Storm as a medic in HHT/2nd Squadron 2nd Armored Cavalry.
In 1992, Suits was called up as a California Army National Guardsman in 4bn 160th Infantry in response to civil unrest following the "Rodney King" verdicts.
Suits was involved in the ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia) investigation of the Croatian militia called "The Jokers."
As a member of C Company, 1st Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment, Washington Army National Guard he deployed as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
[13] Suits reported on his KVI show that during his 2003 Iraq deployment, he received an injury to his groin area from a roadside improvised explosive device and now suffers from bladder pain syndrome.
On March 6, 2003, an Iraqi caller named "Mohammed" confronted United for Peace and Justice spokesperson Andrea Buffa on Suits' show.
KVI put Peter Weissbach in for an hour of Bryan's old time slot (5 – 6 pm), the host whom Suits had been brought in to replace.
[citation needed] Suits periodically filled in as a guest host from 7 to 10 pm, following the contentious removal of John Ziegler in December 2007 on KFI, AM 640 of Los Angeles.
[citation needed] Suits announced December 31, 2007 that he had accepted a position from 7 to 10 pm, following John and Ken beginning January 2008 on KFI AM 640 of Los Angeles.
In addition, Suits continued to host The Dark Secret Place, on Sundays from 2 to 4 pm, on AM 640 KFI Los Angeles.
[22] He briefly revived his renowned "Dark Secret Place" program, in which he confines his topics of discussion to military-related matters and interviews with current or former members of the military.
His explanation declared in the post that the show had become "a pain in the ass" because he would have to give up personal time on the weekends to do it live, or have unspecified problems (possibly continuity errors related to developing stories) if he tried to pre-record it.
Suits left KFI in early July 2021 continuing to upload to his online subscription service podcast, "The Dark Secret Place".
His departure was cited as being a shift in political ideology by KFI leading to the limiting of speech regarding the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, 2nd Amendment rights, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Additional reasoning claimed by Suits was issues regarding his ownership of "The Dark Secret Place" and its redistribution to media platform, iHeartMedia.
