Aaron Love of Aaron Love's America, The War Room Podcast, and Ones Ready Podcast joins the show again and we take a hard look at the 2024 assassination attempts against President Donald Trump.

We unpack the Butler, PA shooting by Thomas Matthew Crooks and the West Palm Beach golf course attempt by Ryan Wesley Routh. We aren't here to tell you what to believe, we lay out the known facts and ask hard questions the official narratives avoid. If it feels like a cover-up, that's exactly what needs examining.

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.

On this episode Brandon & Zach talk with Christopher Messina, someone who truly embodies what it means to be a "Renaissance Man". On top of hosting his own Podcast, "The Messy Times Show", Christopher sits on the Board of Directors for the US Air Force Combat Control Foundation, and is the CEO of "Tanbreez": the world's largest rare earth mineral mine. Probably one of the most interesting tidbits about owning the world's largest Rare Earth Mineral mine (aside from all the rare earth minerals), is that Tanbreez is located in Greenland and it is for that reason that President Donald Trump made an offer to purchase the country of Greenland just to have the mineral deposits! In this episode the guys discuss why rare earth minerals are so vital to United States trade, foreign policy, and supply chain. Furthermore, what it really means for the global stage to reap these minerals and for what benefit. As the world leans more and more into advanced technology, rare earth minerals will vastly become of more strategic import. Harvesting, using, and cornering the market on them will command more than serious control for the United States. It means should the Chinese flood the market on these minerals to reduce their value, the United States would remain largely unaffected and can outpace the Chinese nearly 800 to 1. Now, all the United States needs to do is act. Join us for a fantastic episode as we discuss this, Christopher's unique and heartbreaking experience of walking away from the September 11, 2001 tragedy, and how he's managed to walk away from four other terrorist bombings!

Currently, a massive power struggle is going on between the United States and China. For many decades, the relationship between the Chinese and United States has been strained, with the US hoping that cooperation and free markets would create an American and Chinese partnership rooted in mutual benefit. However, this was not the case nor the plan of what would eventually be known as the Chinese Communist Party, or "CCP". Over the past 20+ years, the United States has been bogged down and focused on war in the Middle East. It's longest war, ever. The Chinese have diligently used that time to commit espionage, theft, and undermine the US as the global hegemon. This has now become very apparent with Chinese technological advances, a military growing at an alarming rate, and it's attempt to begin replacing the US dollar as the worlds global currency. On the surface, this may seem frightening and with genuine reason. However, is China truly the rising superpower it claims to be and the global media portrays it as? We talk with David Zhang from "China Insider" to discuss the reality, disabuse misinformation, highlight terrible Chinese human rights violations, organ harvesting, CCP rise to power and corruption, its crumbling economy, failure to respect, feed, and care for its citizens, and its global initiatives to destabilize the West. David is a journalist, former writer for The Epoch Times, and focuses heavily on spreading truth about the CCP ands abuses. China and the United States will be a topic the world discusses at length for the foreseeable future. With a new Cold War heating up and China's authoritarian plan to become the sole global superpower by 2049, seeking accurate information and truth are more vital than ever.

If you have never heard of Israel "DT" Del Toro, you're in for a treat. DT, as he's otherwise known, is a Retired US Air Force Senior Master Sergeant who spent twenty years as a Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Operator, an arm of the Air Force Special Warfare battery. While deployed earlier in his career, DT was wounded and sustained burns covering most of his body. He would spend 4 months in a coma recovering. With his family ceaselessly sticking beside him, he was able to return to Active Duty status and carry out his career until retiring as a Senior Master Sergeant. June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and DT is quite the person to listen to when it comes to understanding resiliency, seeking help, breaking stigmas, and coming out on top! We are so happy we got the chance to talk to him and truly hope listening to his story inspires others to seek the help they need and to lift up those around you. A RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS.

Welcome back to another captivating episode of "I Came With Fire Podcast"! In this episode we are taking you down a pretty gnarly rabbit hole: The Missing 411. Popularized and coined by David Paulides, The Missing 411 chronicles some odd and downright scary disappearances inside of North America's National Parks and highlights a potential conspiracy in covering up these disappearances and their culprit(s). Tonight's episode begins with Mr. Paulides' venture "The CANAM Project". Named for the nations of Canada and the United States, The CANAM Project seeks to shed light on these disappearances plaguing National Parks within the respective nations. David was first approached about these disappearances by a Park Ranger, who gave him a list of incidents and told him about how the National Park Service was allegedly covering up these disappearances. Seeking to get to the bottom of the problem, David submitted multiple "Freedom Of Information Act" (FOIA) requests but was met with refusals and demands for insurmountable sums of money for the information he was requesting. Tonight, we go over just a few of these eerie disappearances and tell you about why they are so creepy and mysterious. First, there are some odd themes between quite a few of these cases: for many of these disappearances, dog teams are called in to search but are unable to pick up the scents of the missing or lead Search and Rescue (SAR) teams to locations that make no sense. In one case, a set of dogs led SAR teams to a cliff face. Thinking these dogs made a mistake, the SAR team brought in another set of dogs who repeated the actions of the first...leading them to a sheer cliff face. Another theme is that when someone's remains or belongings are found, they are typically found in an area already covered by SAR teams. Furthermore, these remains or belongings are found seemingly placed in manners as if the missing person simply set their items down and wandered away into nothingness. In a wide range of those who's remains are found, the same type of bodily remains are recovered. The skull caps and teeth are left behind. What is causing these odd disappearances? Why is there seemingly a conspiracy to hide information about these missing persons? Why do many of these people go missing mere feet from their camping/hiking groups? And why are some National Park Rangers claiming they're encouraged to dissuade search efforts for the missing? Check this episode out if you love a good spook, have an interest in the strange and macabre, and definitely before you go on that hike into your nearest National Park.

Dan Schilling is absolutely what you would call a Renaissance Man. One of his mantras is "Reinvent Yourself"--and that is exactly what Dan does. You see, Dan is no ordinary person, at least to us (and thousands of others). At the beginning of his 30 year military career, Dan made the choice to join the US Army as an Infantryman. He then found out how cool "Pro Pay" was, along with just how much of a badass you get to be as an Air Force Special Operations Combat Controller, and then made the best decision of his life: to switch branches and join the US Air Force. Dan made it through the rigorous Combat Controller pipe-line and came out on the other side ready to take on the world. All that aside, Dan is one of the most humble and down to Earth people we've ever talked to. His words are rife with wisdom, intelligence, and humor. Have you ever seen the movie "Black Hawk Down"? A lot of people have. Long story short, it chronicles the men on Operation Gothic Serpent, where multiple Black Hawk helicopters were downed in the Somalian city of Mogadishu, and a daring operation to tag a violent warlord became a thing of legend. Dan was there, as a US Air Force Special Tactics Officer (Combat Controller). And NO ONE on the field of battle, since the beginning of human warfare, is more lethal than a US Air Force Combat Controller. Dan has also stood up multiple Special Operations Squadrons, commanded them, and retired as Lieutenant Colonel. This snapshot of Dan's military career, as he would say, are just "things I did, not who I am". After reading a couple of his books and spending two hours talking with him, its easy to see what he means. As you may have guessed, Dan is also an author--and a damn good one. His most acclaimed book is "Alone At Dawn: Medal of Honor Recipient John Chapman and the Untold Story of the World's Deadliest Special Operations Force", a book detailing the life of Air Force Master Sergeant (MSgt) John Chapman, Medal of Honor Recipient and Hero and also the tale of the most unsung Special Operators ever. You can find "Alone At Dawn" and Dan's other books wherever books are sold. We cannot recommend them enough. When Dan isn't absolutely hauling ass down the side of a mountain wearing a pair of skis and a parachute, he spends his time helping the military community understand what resilience looks like, is working on a screenplay, working towards making a movie about MSgt John Chapman, and coming on podcasts with a couple Air Force dudes (us, of course). Yes, you read that right too...skis and a parachute. Apparently, for Dan, sky-diving is too boring now. I guess when you're the World Record Holder for most base jumps, that makes sense. Dan won't admit it, but he is a giant amongst men and we will be forever grateful he decided to spend a couple hours talking to us on this episode.

In this episode Brandon and new Co-Host Zach sit down with Texas based paranormal team "MP Paranormal"! MP Paranormal is led by Air Force veterans Dillon and Brian. While MP Paranormal may be lesser known at the moment, they certainly won't remain that way for long! Dillon and Brian have some of the VERY BEST evidence you will ever see, hear, or experience. The guys discuss what hauntings may actually be, share some absolutely incredible evidence, discuss the hierarchies of Demons & Angels, and generally marvel at how incredible the supernatural really is. So hop in for a listen...if you aren't too scared!

"I Came With Fire Podcast's" first ever "After Fire Embersode"!

In these "Embersodes", Zach & Brandon do an instant react to the conversation they just had on the full episode. They give insight not mentioned on the full episode, discuss other relevant topics, and give candid thoughts and opinions on the topic at hand and the way the conversation went down.

No episode is scripted, but every episode is planned with a template in mind with how each conversation could go. These "Embersodes" are completely raw, unfiltered, and without any guidelines. This is just Brandon & Zach at their best.

In this one, the guys discuss the now famous photo of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, seated in what appears to be a SCIF, looking defeated and tired. The photo described now, perhaps not so hyperbolically, as "The first man to know about World War III". Brandon & Zach also discuss they conversation with Christopher Messina on the previous "Special Release" episode and give further thoughts to the global climate at hand.

These "Embersodes" won't always come out after a full episode, so when you see one...don't miss it! Let us know what you think about these smaller shows and whether you want them more or less often!

As always, thank you so much for listening! We appreciate you all, and wish you nothing but peace, happiness, and safety.

In this chilling and thought-provoking episode, Pastor Eric Hambrock joins us to unravel the biblical history of Satan and demons, from their ancient scriptural origins to their role in spiritual warfare today. We dive deep into the authenticity of biblical accounts and how they align with modern spiritual encounters.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this conversation will make you question what’s really at play in the unseen world.

What if crypto actually worked for the people?

In this episode, we sit down with Christopher Messina and Greg Chew, the minds behind Gajumaru, a new decentralized marketplace they’re calling “Bitcoin 3.0.” This isn’t just another token, it’s a full-blown, censorship-resistant, global trading ecosystem built to rival the scale of a G20 economy.

They break down how Gajumaru uses smart contracts, real-world asset tokenization, and decentralized identity to let anyone trade, buy, or sell, without middlemen, gatekeepers, or platforms that can cancel you.

If you want to understand where crypto is really headed, this is the episode to hear it.

At just 8 years old, Chris Kubecka hacked the U.S. Department of Justice. Today, she’s a world-renowned cyber warfare expert, critical infrastructure strategist, and trusted advisor to governments and militaries across the globe. In this episode, Chris joins us to reveal how Generative AGI is set to redefine the laws of war, erase traditional ideas of self-defense, and permanently alter our concept of justice and identity.

Chris has been on the front lines of integrating artificial intelligence and quantum computing into cybersecurity frameworks for both public and private sectors. Her work bridges the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-world national defense, helping institutions prepare for a future where quantum-powered AI could overwhelm traditional security models.

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. Find it anywhere books are sold.
