The boys are joined by Simone Ledeen, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East at the U.S. Department of Defense, and Drew Berquist, who spent more than 20 years in national security, including work with the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency supporting intelligence and counterterrorism operations. Together they break down the rapidly evolving situation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, analyzing military developments, intelligence signals, and the potential for regime instability inside Tehran. The discussion also explores how Iran fits into China’s broader geopolitical strategy and why Middle East conflicts are increasingly tied to great-power competition and shifting global alliances.Chapters: 00:00 Expert Introductions and Backgrounds02:41 Diverse Perspectives on U.S. Actions in Iran08:44 Intelligence Insights and Military Operations13:38 The Nuclear Threat and Its Implications17:15 Speculation on Political Dynamics and Decision-Making22:03 Differing Goals: U.S. vs. Israeli Strategies28:24 The People's Desire for Secular Leadership30:39 Challenges of Regime Change32:26 The Kurdish Factor in Middle Eastern Politics34:34 Speculations on Kurdish Armament38:20 The Complexity of Kurdish Alliances40:38 Potential Outcomes of a New Iran47:48 Reflections on Military Effectiveness52:08 Geopolitical Implications of U.S. Actions53:58 Connections Between Venezuela and Iran57:51 China's Role in Middle Eastern Dynamics01:01:31 China's Influence in the Middle East01:03:51 The Dynamics of Saudi-China Relations01:05:18 Taiwan: A Strategic Flashpoint01:06:41 The U.S.-China Economic Tug-of-War01:10:23 The Role of the EU in Global Politics01:12:52 Canada's Shift Towards China01:16:18 The Future of U.S. Global Leadership01:33:55 The Complex Web of Influence in Afghanistan01:36:04 Iran's Role in China's Belt and Road Initiative01:39:00 Canada's Geopolitical Position and Its Implications01:46:22 The Future of U.S.-Iran Relations01:50:45 Reflections on Military Operations and Strategic Goals

Army veteran and former law enforcement officer Cory Gautereaux, founder of the GOAT Initiative, joins the show to reveal what he’s uncovered while investigating activity along the US–Mexico border. Through grassroots intelligence gathering, recovered cell phones, and on-the-ground investigations, Cory has identified networks tied to human trafficking, counterfeit documents, and even communications linked to Chinese nationals coordinating border crossings. We discuss how volunteer-led efforts and technology are exposing gaps in federal enforcement that most Americans never see. This episode breaks down the evidence, the methods, and why Cory believes the border has quietly become a national security battlefield.Check out GOAT Initiative: https://www.thegoatinitiative.org/Chapters:00:55 Cory's Journey: From San Diego to Montana01:44 The Birth of Goat Initiative05:52 Observations on Border Patrol and Immigration14:00 Building Trust and Community Engagement15:34 The Local Initiative: A Community Response17:31 Eminent Domain and Border Control Issues19:10 Building Trust and Community Relationships22:23 The Goat Initiative: Scope and Operations27:22 Filling the Gaps: National Security and Local Action32:59 Evidence and Proactive Measures at the Border33:14 Visual Evidence: Fires and Community Impact35:52 Bureaucratic Incompetence and Personal Responsibility39:19 The Breakdown of Community and Responsibility43:12 Abdication of Responsibility in Society45:26 The Role of Local Businesses in Community Safety49:09 Observations on Immigration Patterns54:53 Complicity in Policy and Bureaucracy58:31 Trust and Responsibility in Law Enforcement01:03:08 Chinese Immigration and Organized Processes01:10:55 Coordinated Invasion: Understanding the Threat01:14:28 Intel Gathering: The Role of Military and Asylum Seekers01:18:41 The Impact of Bureaucracy on Border Security01:24:30 Solutions and the Role of Private Contractors01:29:27 The Need for Action: Congressional Responsibility01:34:23 Future Threats: The Reality of September 11th 2.0

Modern dating didn’t just “get weird”, it was built this way. In this episode, we sit down with Matt from Effective Purpose to break down the structures and incentives behind the broken dating system, from feminism and cultural propaganda to the way churches sometimes reinforce the status quo. We dig into hypergamy, accountability, and what Christian community is supposed to look like when it actually functions. If you want clear-eyed analysis and practical steps for men and churches to rebuild healthier relationships, this one’s for you.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the Broken Dating System11:45 Exploring the Structures Behind Modern Dating23:52 The Impact of Feminism on the Church36:30 Hypergamy and Its Effects on Relationships46:03 The Crisis of Modern Relationships52:13 The Loneliness Epidemic Among Men56:27 The Propaganda Machine: Maintaining the Status Quo01:06:12 A Call to Action: What Young Men Can Do01:15:40 Big Brothers: Supporting the Next Generation

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman joins the show to discuss Artemis, what it will take to build a sustainable moon base, and how that lunar infrastructure becomes the proving ground for eventual Mars missions. We dig into the emerging lunar economy and space industry; training, logistics, and the systems that turn “missions” into durable presence. Finally, we talk candidly about the competitive dimension with China and why space exploration is increasingly tied to national security and long-term strategic advantage.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Artemis and NASA's Vision01:58 The Artemis Program: Goals and Objectives05:30 Training for the Moon: Astronaut Preparation07:55 Building a Long-Term Moon Base09:54 Sustainable Practices for Moon Missions11:56 Inspiration and American Identity in Space Exploration13:16 National Security and Global Competition in Space

Steve Fendley, President of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division at Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, joins the show to discuss where unmanned and autonomous systems are taking U.S. military power. He breaks down the logic of attritable platforms, scaling production, and why the next decade of deterrence is going to be won by systems you can field in volume. We get into what “next-gen warfare” looks like when autonomy and electronic warfare compete inside contested environments and why the US Navy may be fielding unmanned craft, no known weapon can defeat.

In 1983, Emanuela Orlandi, a 15-year-old Vatican citizen, vanished after an ordinary day in Rome, and the case has refused to stay buried ever since. What began as a missing-person investigation quickly brushed up against forces far larger than a single crime. In this episode, we trace the known timeline, the strange communications that followed, and how official explanations kept shifting just out of reach. Along the way, the story drifts into Rome’s criminal underworld, where favors, silence, and leverage often matter more than truth. It also intersects with an old prophecy that carried real political weight during the Cold War, raising uncomfortable questions about motive and timing. As parallel cases and overlooked connections resurface, the picture grows darker rather than clearer. This isn’t a story about rumors, it’s about why some mysteries are never solved.Snag some merch: www.redpillthreads.com/icamewithfireChapters:00:00 The Mysterious Circumstances of Disappearance13:46 The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi19:18 The Role of the Vatican22:55 The Dossier and Its Implications34:09 The Demand for Emanuela's Release43:29 The Timeline of Events49:24 The Chilling Evidence: The Torture Tape55:15 The Role of Media in Kidnapping Cases01:02:19 The Pope's Visit and the International Terrorism Narrative01:08:10 The Family's Desperation and New Leads01:14:15 The Impact of Institutional Walls on Investigations01:19:37 The Luxembourg Incident01:25:58 New Witness: Raffaella Notorialli01:33:35 The Favor for the Vatican01:41:07 The Vatican's Sovereign Immunity01:49:33 The Vatican's Involvement in the Scandal01:56:45 The Prophecy of Fatima and Its Significance02:05:38 The Mysterious Death of Roberto Calvi02:11:54 The Influence of the P2 Masonic Lodge02:20:50 New Evidence and Witnesses in the Case02:26:09 The Vatican's Denial and the Consequences02:33:46 The Connection to International Politics02:39:05 The Message Behind the Kidnappings02:43:49 The Mysterious Messages and Disinterment02:49:36 The Legacy of Emanuela and MirellaCheck Out Our Sponsors:Honor Tribe Outdoors (HTO) is more than a non-profit organization – we are a tribe, a community of Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families who find healing and connection through the serenity of outdoor conservation activities.

In the first episode of No Party Affiliation, the hosts introduce their professional backgrounds and use that lens to unpack how U.S. foreign policy decisions are made, sold, and executed. They examine regime change as a practice, with Iraq, Venezuela, and Iran as case studies, and they question the gap between stated objectives and real incentives. The conversation covers how culture, propaganda, and bureaucratic planning shape military operations and public narratives. They also assess what China’s demographic decline could mean for its long-term military capacity and how communist government concentrates power and distorts decision-making. The through line is simple: international politics is messy, and understanding it requires more than slogans and official talking points.

Michael Thompson, co-founder and managing partner of Reinvent Capital, a director at Joby Aviation, and a board member at Oklo, joins the show to talk about what it will actually take to reindustrialize America. We dig into why Oklo's small modular reactors (SMRs) are the missing piece for abundant, reliable power and how overregulation has slowed nuclear’s ability to scale when the country needs it most. Then we pivot to the mobility side of the rebuild: why Joby’s approach is different, including its hydrogen-electric work aimed at unlocking true regional-range flight powered by hydrogen fuel cells. If you care about energy dominance, manufacturing capacity, and the next era of American infrastructure, this one’s a blueprint.Learn more here:Oklo: https://oklo.com/overview/default.aspxJoby Aviation: https://www.jobyaviation.com/VISIT OUR MERCH STORE https://www.redpillthreads.com/icamewithfireChapters:00:00 Introduction and Background02:58 The 1870s Thesis and Infrastructure Investment05:43 Challenges in American Manufacturing08:47 The Nuclear Industry's Decline and Regulation11:34 Oklo's Vision and Partnerships14:32 The Future of Nuclear Energy and SMRs17:42 Uranium Mining and Domestic Supply Chains20:45 Understanding SMRs and Oklo's Technology23:29 Community Integration and Energy Solutions26:47 Education and Career Pathways in Nuclear Engineering35:04 The Impact of AI on Education and Employment39:34 Nuclear Technology and Global Diplomacy43:26 Transformations in U.S. Defense and Manufacturing46:28 Joby Aviation: Innovations in Air Travel52:47 Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Future of Aviation01:01:05 Advice for Entering Cutting-Edge TechnologiesCheck Out Our Sponsors:Honor Tribe Outdoors (HTO) is more than a non-profit organization – we are a tribe, a community of Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families who find healing and connection through the serenity of outdoor conservation activities.

Pastor Eric Hambrock returns to take a hard look at the Shroud of Turin—what it is, what the evidence actually suggests, and why it’s remained one of history’s most contested relics. We trace the shroud’s known history, weigh the strongest arguments for and against its authenticity, and examine the scientific questions that won’t go away. Then we move beyond the lab: what the shroud means spiritually, why it grips believers and skeptics alike, and what it may truly mean. If you’re drawn to mysteries with real stakes, this one will stay with you.Chapters:00:00 Exploring the Shroud's Historical Context08:28 The Historical Journey of the Shroud19:27 Scientific Testing and Controversies35:00 The Reliability of Scientific Methods40:00 The Science Behind the Shroud47:55 Blood Type and Its Significance01:01:10 Crucifixion: The Physical Reality01:09:06 The Uniqueness of the Resurrection01:14:59 The Shroud of Turin: Evidence and Belief01:24:57 The Significance of Jesus' Life and Death01:30:54 Relics and Their Spiritual Significance01:41:32 The Nature of Quantum Computing and Entanglement01:48:40 The Implications of Quantum Computing on Reality01:56:55 The Relationship Between Science and Spirituality02:03:15 The Future of Technology and Human UnderstandingCheck Out Our Sponsors:Honor Tribe Outdoors (HTO) is more than a non-profit organization – we are a tribe, a community of Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families who find healing and connection through the serenity of outdoor conservation activities.

US Marine Corps veteran, Donny Burgers, founder of New York Predator Hunters, uses decoy-based online sting tactics to expose suspected child predators, document their behavior, and hand evidence and leads to law enforcement. In this episode, we break down the patterns these offenders rely on and the practical, no-nonsense lessons parents can use right now to harden their kids’ online safety, spot grooming signals early, and tighten digital boundaries at home. It’s also a blunt reminder that evil isn’t abstract or historical; it’s real, it’s opportunistic, and it lives a lot closer than most people want to believe.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the Dark Topic05:08 Meet Donnie Burgers: The Predator Hunter07:50 The Mission Behind the Work10:59 Understanding the Decoying Process14:09 The Emotional Toll of the Work16:55 Red Flags in Apps and Online Safety19:56 The Dangers of Roblox and Online Grooming22:58 The Grooming Process Explained25:53 Planning the Confrontation28:48 A Successful Catch: A Case Study35:10 Uncovering Deception: The Skimmer Incident36:34 The Plan: A Sting Operation in the Barracks38:04 The Fallout: Confrontation and Consequences40:26 Dark Discoveries: Child Exploitation and Corruption46:06 Disappointment in Justice: The Case of the District Attorney Employee53:59 Learning from the Best: Mentorship in Predator Catching01:00:55 Effective Encounters: The Art of Predator Catching01:08:58 The Journey of a Predator Catch01:11:47 Understanding the Mind of a Predator01:13:58 The Role of Parents in Protecting Children01:17:05 The Impact of Technology on Child Safety01:19:59 The Dangers of Online Content01:23:03 The Future of AI and Child Exploitation01:25:51 Recognizing Red Flags in Predators01:31:55 Empowering Parents and ChildrenCheck Out Our Sponsors:Honor Tribe Outdoors (HTO) is more than a non-profit organization – we are a tribe, a community of Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families who find healing and connection through the serenity of outdoor conservation activities.

We unpack why conservatives are suddenly talking like progressives, why young voters are gravitating toward populism, and how affordability—not culture war—has become the new political battlefield.Batya explains why the American working class is fundamentally capitalist, why the socialist constituency is a vanguard masquerading as a proletariat, why the real threat to the middle class isn’t ideology at all, and the future of the America First movement.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Class Consciousness04:35 The Working Class and Capitalism07:29 The Impact of AI and Job Market Changes10:31 Cultural Issues and Political Discourse13:36 The Future of the American Dream16:29 Political Strategies and Economic Solutions19:28 JD Vance and the Future of Conservatism25:21 The Search for a Presidential Candidate27:17 Reflections on Trump and Voting29:12 Potential Candidates and Political Dynamics31:02 Moderate Democrats and Future Leadership33:36 The Political Quadrants and Andrew Yang37:32 Trump's Legacy and American Re-IndustrializationMerch:Want some I Came With Fire Merch?

The boys and Tom Cunningham pull back the curtain on the shadows behind America’s media and political machine. From haunted houses and ghostly encounters to the dark fingerprints of government manipulation, they trace the eerie patterns connecting JFK’s assassination, Hale Boggs’ disappearance, and the strange energy radiating out of Hollywood. Along the way, they confront the blurred line between reality and programming, where AI, social media, and predictive narratives bend truth into theater.

Matthieu Pageau, author of The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis and The Language of Creation: An Introduction to the Science of Meaning, joins the show!We explore the living patterns that unite nature, humanity, and the divine. The conversation expands into the spiritual dimension of technology, from AI and digital control systems to the symbolism of 666 and the Tower of Babel.

Becca “BX” Spinks joins the show to expose the dark online world of satanic cults like 764, O9A, and their offshoots of Accelerationism and Spawnism. These groups infiltrate youth forums, grooming kids to commit evil acts like school shootings, or manipulate others into doing so, often using blackmail and shame to trap them.

Virginia Robinson and Ashley Keller join the show to discuss the toxic water scandal at Camp Lejeune. This situation has left countless service members, families, and civilians with lifelong health battles, many resulting in death. In this episode, we dig into the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and the fight for accountability. Despite the government’s own evidence proving contamination, victims and their families are still waiting, with many left in limbo as legal teams struggle against delays, bureaucracy, and stonewalling. This conversation uncovers the scope of the tragedy, the failures in delivering justice, and the broader implications for how America treats its veterans and citizens when the government itself is responsible for harm.Chapters:00:00 Virginia's Journey Through Cancer07:07 Linking Illness to Camp Lejeune09:49 The Chemical Contamination at Camp Lejeune12:11 The Camp Lejeune Justice Act15:07 The Struggle for Accountability21:11 The Impact on Future Generations26:15 The Camp Lejeune Justice Act and Its Implications31:32 The Struggles of Military Families and Health Issues33:35 Political Responsibility and Accountability41:38 Community Support and Resources for Survivors45:19 The Call for Action and AwarenessCheck Out Our Sponsors:Alp!

From the temples of Ancient Egypt to Silicon Valley boardrooms, the dream of transcending human limits has stalked civilization like a shadow. This episode pulls back the veil on transhumanism, its hidden roots in Hermeticism, Rosicrucian mysticism, and Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis. We trace the lineage from the occult whispers of Hermes Trismegistus to the cold eugenics of Julian Huxley, and finally into the hands of today’s architects: Peter Thiel, Ray Kurzweil, and Elon Musk. The story is not progress, but prophecy unfolding before us.Chapters:00:00 Setting Expectations for the Conversation02:30 Introduction to Transhumanism and Its Implications08:32 Concerns About Robotics and AI14:26 Hermeticism and the Dual Nature of Mankind20:24 Transhumanism: The Intersection of Art, Knowledge, and Eternity26:17 The Gnostic Perspective: Knowledge, Power, and the Divine32:16 The Tower of Babel: Historical Echoes of Human Ambition40:25 The Rosicrucian Influence: Secrets, Knowledge, and Utopia46:19 Luciferian Themes: Knowledge, Enlightenment, and the Human Condition53:53 Alchemy and Ancient Knowledge01:00:42 Modern Implications of Alchemy01:07:40 The Deception of Knowledge01:16:00 Transhumanism and the Future of Humanity01:26:00 The Nature of Governance and Human Value01:31:06 The Dangers of Human Engineering01:36:53 Spiritual Warfare and Transhumanism01:43:03 The Shared Consciousness of Humanity01:49:03 Democratizing Control Over Humanity01:53:09 The Dystopian Vision of Technology01:58:56 Transhumanism and the Quest for Immortality02:04:32 AI's Role in the End Times02:12:26 The Faustian Bargain of Technology02:18:25 The Mark of the Beast and Digital IdentityCheck Out Our Sponsors:Alp!

Brandon Shane of "Beyond Formal" joins the show.This episode unpacks the chilling night in 1955 when a Kentucky farmhouse was terrorized by "Goblins" and how that single event spiraled into a web of high strangeness. We trace the threads that connect Hellier’s unsettling rabbit holes, to the Goblins, from shadowy Mammoth Cave systems to the whispered name of Indrid Cold. Along the way, we dig into the eerie symbolism of the 37th parallel, Mothman, the Flatwoods Monster, and the unnerving synchronicities that refuse to be coincidence. Appalachia doesn’t just hold folklore; it holds secrets, and we went hunting for them.Chapters:00:00 Dogman Attack & the Land Between the Lakes17:08 Will-o'-the-Wisp and Cultural Folklore22:07 The Tapestry of Folklore: Mothman and Beyond27:34 The Goblins of Appalachia: Harbingers of Doom29:18 Biological Mysteries: The Physiology of Cryptids33:01 The Watchers: Spirits and Observers in Folklore34:28 Cultural Connections: Appalachian Myths and European Lore36:46 The Dark Depths: Caves as Spiritual Strongholds42:13 Hallucinations and the Unknown: The Psychological Aspect of Caves46:59 Native American Folklore: The Managishi and Other Spirits50:15 The Spread of Legends: Goblins Across Cultures51:07 The Kelly Hopkinsville Incident: A Case Study53:17 UAPs in Appalachia: A Low Reporting Region01:01:29 The Context of Appalachian Folklore01:02:24 Dramatic Retelling of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Incident01:07:58 Witness Accounts and Police Investigation01:13:42 Skepticism and Debunking the Sutton Family's Claims01:18:37 The Aftermath and Impact on the Sutton Family01:23:13 Physical Descriptions and Behavioral Analysis of the Goblins01:38:31 Theories on the Goblins' Nature and Intentions01:40:16 The Misunderstood Visitors01:41:17 Angels, Demons, and UAPs01:43:43 Spiritual Dimensions and Travel01:45:29 The Nature of Beings and Their Origins01:46:41 Transmedium Travel and Anomalous Phenomena01:49:35 Interdimensionality and Remote Viewing01:55:41 Mysteries of the Spiritual Realm01:57:40 The Flatwoods Monster and Mothman Connection02:05:33 Hellier and Modern InvestigationsCheck Out Our Sponsors:Alp!

John Kiriakou was the CIA officer who blew the whistle on illegal torture programs and paid the price. While the architects of enhanced interrogation walked free, Kiriakou was the one sent to prison. John opens up about the inner workings of America’s intelligence machine, what really went down after 9/11, and how programs like Stellar Winds and the PATRIOT ACT laid the groundwork for mass surveillance on U.S. citizens.We dig into the shadowy networks behind fentanyl trafficking, the truth about Afghanistan and Iran, and how past intelligence failures have shaped today’s world. John also exposes institutional rot, the legacy of the Dulles brothers, Henry Kissinger, and the weaponized use of diversity in the intelligence community.

In this episode, Brandon and Chris go full devil’s advocate, challenging modern morality, cultural comfort zones, and the collapse of clear language. They question everything from the difference between ethics and morality, whether morality can be legislated, and how childhood experiences shape adult accountability. The conversation tackles online decency, the failure of digital age governance, and the way society manipulates truth through semantic overload. It’s equal parts philosophy, dark humor, and cultural dissection. If you're uncomfortable, good. That means you're thinking.Chapters:00:00 Engagement and Perspectives on Tactical Equipment00:24 The Importance of Language and Conflation06:21 Conflating Racism and Murder: A Deeper Discussion13:44 Semantic Overload and the Control of Language28:19 Defining Objective Truth in a Subjective World31:57 Reality vs. Perception: The Nature of Truth35:12 The Scientific Method and Objective Truth39:19 Consensus and Its Role in Society44:25 The Impact of Comfort on Perception of Reality49:22 The Dangers of Skewing Reality55:09 Consequences of Choices and Personal Responsibility01:01:51 The Impact of Childhood Environment on Adult Choices01:04:06 Legislating Morality: A Complex Debate01:09:57 Morality vs. Ethics: Defining the Terms01:14:20 The Role of Government and Religion in Morality01:19:39 Public Decency and Online Spaces01:33:26 Age Verification and Online Content Responsibility01:34:30 The Effectiveness of Online Age Verification01:38:05 Public vs. Private Spaces on the Internet01:41:01 Legal Protections and Responsibilities of Social Media01:46:01 The Impact of Online Platforms on Society01:51:28 The Role of Judeo-Christian Principles in Law02:01:45 Navigating Pragmatism in GovernanceCheck Out Our Sponsors:Alp!

We tackle the failures of the Department of Education, the myth of presidential infallibility, and why America’s identity crisis is no accident.

Former Blackwater contractor Morgan Lerette pulls back the curtain on the secretive world of private military contractors (PMCs) and the shadow economy that fuels modern warfare. From Iraq’s combat zones to backroom military contracts, we dig into the true cost of war — not just in lives, but in billions of dollars, broken systems, and blurred moral lines. Morgan shares wild stories from his time on the ground, the reality behind the infamous Blackwater incident, and why PMCs remain both a political tool and a legal gray area. We also explore the failures of USAID, the business of human trafficking, and how U.S. taxpayer dollars get funneled through complex, often corrupt global networks. If you’ve ever wondered who profits from endless war — and how — this episode tells you what no one else will.Morgan Lerette is the author of Guns, Girls, and Greed: I Was a Blackwater Mercenary in Iraq.
