EP:4 - LIVE - JIM WEBB PODCAST - w/ Fmr. Senator Jim Webb. : Citizen Soldiers

Thursday, May 7, 2026 • Duration 59:26

You can feel it when a country’s leadership stops matching the character of the people it asks to serve. That’s where this conversation begins, with a rare father and son pairing: the host sits down with his dad, Jim Webb, former U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Navy, Navy Cross recipient, and author of Born Fighting and Fields of Fire, to talk about the cultural roots that still drive American populism and military service.

We dig into the Scotch-Irish “citizen soldier” tradition: why honor, duty, and loyalty matter, why people distrust aristocracy, and how everyday customs like hunting, firearms rites of passage, and constitutional instincts around the Second Amendment and Fourth Amendment connect to a bigger story about democracy American style. From Ulster Scots migration to the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Kings Mountain, we trace how this culture helped form the backbone of the American military and a bottom-up expectation that leaders must earn allegiance through courage and humility.

Then the conversation turns to the cost of blurred missions. Webb reflects on Vietnam, on-the-ground leadership, and his reporting from Beirut, where Marines carried political symbolism without political clarity. From there we tackle Congress, war powers, and why the post-9/11 era normalized executive overreach. Finally, Webb compares today’s Iran and Strait of Hormuz tensions to the 1980s tanker wars, arguing that U.S. choices can widen conflict and trap us in long-term Middle East entanglement.

If you care about U.S. foreign policy, civil-military relations, and how American political culture is changing in real time, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review with what you think Congress should do next.

EP:3 - LIVE - JIM WEBB PODCAST - w/ JOE KENT - Fmr. Dir. National Counter Terrorism

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 47:26

“Project Freedom” sounds bold until you game out what it really means: more U.S. ships and aircraft operating in the Strait of Hormuz, more opportunities for Iran to take a shot, and more chances for a single incident to drag us into a wider regional war. We sit down with Joe Kent to cut through the slogans and ask the question that keeps getting skipped in public: what is the U.S. strategic objective, and what does the end state look like when the shooting stops?

We walk through why escorting global commerce can be an escalation trap, why a “temporary pause” may just be a reset for the next round, and how influential war voices can box presidents into maximalist demands. Joe draws on hard-earned experience to dismantle the recurring “arm the moderates” fantasy, tracing how well-branded proxy plans in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria have repeatedly produced blowback, empowered extremists, and left Americans paying the bill in blood and treasure.

Then we focus on a diplomatic off ramp that treats incentives and verification as real tools, not talking points. We discuss pulling vulnerable U.S. footprints back from Iran’s borders, targeted sanctions relief as leverage, and the nuclear question: how insisting on zero enrichment can poison negotiations, and how continued fighting can actually guarantee long-term nuclear proliferation as leaders look to North Korea-style “insurance.” We also dig into U.S. credibility, the petrodollar, alliance leverage, and what it would take to rebuild a foreign policy culture that prioritizes clear interests over endless entanglements.

If you care about U.S. foreign policy, Iran diplomacy, Middle East strategy, and a serious America-first use-of-force threshold, this is the conversation to hear.

EP:2 - LIVE - w/ LtCOL. Daniel Davis - When A Presidency Become A War Machine

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 • Duration 29:09

The Strait of Hormuz is the kind of headline you can scroll past until the price of gas proves you shouldn’t. We sit down with retired Lieutenant Colonel Dan Davis to cut through the competing stories around Iran, the ceasefire, and the naval posturing that’s being sold as “success” while ships still hesitate to transit. We talk deception as a feature of war, why you should be skeptical of every side’s messaging, and what the observable reality suggests about escalation risk.

Then we follow the money, because energy markets don’t care about talking points. Dan connects the standoff to oil prices, diesel costs, and the downstream squeeze on goods moving to market. We also challenge claims about imminent nuclear timelines by comparing them to statements that key sites remain buried and undisturbed. If the justification for force doesn’t survive basic logic, the public deserves to know before the next round starts.

The most urgent part might be the legal one. We break down what the 1973 War Powers Act actually says, why the “60 day free pass” myth is wrong, and how Congress helps the executive branch by refusing to enforce its own authority. Finally, we pivot to Cuba and ask what it means when threats of military action expand to new targets with no clear national interest and no respect for constitutional guardrails.

If you care about US foreign policy, presidential war powers, and what escalation does to your wallet, listen, share this with a friend, and leave a review. What should Congress do right now to reassert its role?

MONOLOGUE: Military Misadventure Ends Empires

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 • Duration 27:00

The Strait of Hormuz is not just a map label, it’s a pressure point that can spike oil prices, rattle global shipping, and land right in your grocery bill. We start with signs a ceasefire is breaking down around Iran and the Gulf, including a major strike that raises the stakes for everyone relying on stable energy flows and open sea lanes.

From there, we put public claims under a microscope. If Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated,” why do we immediately hear talk of blockades, “checkmate” scenarios, and even arming Iranians to overthrow their government? We walk through the contradictions in the messaging, the attempt to frame Iran as the clear aggressor, and why that framing collapses when you account for what happened first and how predictable Iran’s response was in an existential fight.

The bigger issue is strategy. We can argue tactics all day, drones, islands, maritime patrols, interdiction, but tactics aren’t a plan. We connect the dots to hard-earned lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan and then zoom out further to a historical warning: empires in decline often lash out with dramatic strikes that feel decisive and end up speeding the decline. Using Britain before World War I as a case study, we ask what hubris looks like in real time and what it costs when a professional force meets a peer-level challenge.

EP:1. Darryl Cooper - Iran War Powers And The Missing Vote

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 01:01:57

The story we’re being told about Iran changes by the hour, and that’s the point. One day it’s “we destroyed their capabilities,” the next it’s “their ambition remains,” and then a War Powers notice lands like a bureaucratic shrug that can restart the clock while the public tries to keep up. I sit down with Daryl Cooper (Martyrmade, Provoked) to untangle what the weekend’s signals actually suggest about U.S. decision-making, who owns the consequences, and why Congress so often seems eager to avoid a clear vote when war is on the line.

From there we get brutally practical. Daryl draws on his air defense background to explain why ballistic missile defense can look solid in controlled tests but become fragile in combat. We talk about integrated networks, early warning, Link-style data sharing, and what it means when you start seeing far more interceptors launched per incoming missile than doctrine would normally justify. We also zoom out to the manufacturing and procurement reality: defense against cheap drones and mass salvos can become an economic losing game long before it becomes a purely tactical one.

Then we go where most analyses won’t. We talk about empire incentives, political radicalization, and the moral cost of hitching our identity to other nations’ blood feuds. The episode ends with a simple, demanding idea: if we can’t repair our politics overnight, we can still choose accountability and decency, including apology and compensation when civilians are harmed.

COL. DOUG MACGREGOR : Thomas Massie's Loss And The Money Behind US Foreign Policy

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 50:42

A newborn comes home from the hospital and, minutes later, we’re back on the hardest question in American life: who actually has power in Washington when a high-profile incumbent can be drowned under tens of millions in outside money? We start with Thomas Massey’s primary loss and talk candidly about donor influence, lobbying pressure, and why it feels like some foreign policy positions are effectively “off limits” if you want to keep your seat. If you’ve ever wondered why Congress struggles to reflect what voters say they want, this is the uncomfortable incentive structure behind it.

From there, we connect the political story to the economic one. We dig into runaway spending, entitlement promises no one wants to reform, and the slow-motion danger of a weakening dollar. The theme is simple: meaningful change rarely arrives because of speeches or think pieces, it arrives when households feel real pain through inflation, shortages, or job loss. That’s when public opinion stops being theoretical and starts becoming political force.

Then Col. Doug McGregor walks through the escalating risk of war with Iran and why the Persian Gulf is not a place where the US can assume dominance. We talk modern surveillance and strike networks, missile saturation, lessons from Ukraine’s battlefield, and how a wider conflict could hit oil infrastructure and desalination plants with knock-on effects that ripple through energy markets, shipping, fertilizer, and food prices. We also zoom out to BRICS, gold settlement, and the growing China Russia Iran alignment, ending on what we should prioritize first: defending North America and rebuilding real capacity at home.

The China Trip That Delivered No Wins. w/ ALEX CHRISTOFROU

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 55:38

The strangest part of the US China summit is how little it clarifies. After two days of praise and photo ops, we’re left asking what Washington actually went to get, and what Beijing was happy to let it take home. With Alex Christophorou of The Duran, we unpack why the trip reads more like a high-level business roadshow with top CEOs than a fully prepared superpower negotiation, and why that distinction matters when global markets are already on edge.

From there, we move straight into the real pressure point: Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. We talk through how a blockade strategy can shrink your leverage instead of expanding it, especially when China has deeper ties with Tehran and a direct stake in keeping energy flows stable to Asia. The bigger story isn’t only whether ships move or don’t move, it’s what that signals to US-aligned countries in Asia about who can actually protect energy supply in a crisis. That’s where BRICS diplomacy and parallel negotiations start to look less like background noise and more like a competing center of gravity.

We also dig into what could come next, including a potential Putin visit to China and the energy realignment implications of Power of Siberia 2 for Europe’s long-term gas and LNG outlook. On the US side, we connect foreign policy swings to domestic pain: high prices at the pump, strategic petroleum reserve drawdowns, and the political blowback that follows. We close with the growing focus on Cuba, why “easy win” thinking can be dangerous, and how escalation risk creeps in when sanctions and ship seizures become the main tools.

Ceasefire On Life Support w/ LtCOL. KAREN KWIATKOWSKI

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 52:40

A ceasefire that’s “on life support,” a Strait of Hormuz that still shapes global energy, and a US military that looks powerful on paper but struggles to surge in reality: that’s where this conversation goes fast. I’m joined by retired Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, a former Pentagon and NSA professional and a founding member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, to sort through what’s signal versus noise.

We start surprisingly close to home with Virginia redistricting and gerrymandering, because engineered maps don’t just pick winners, they erode real representation and deepen political separation. From there we move into the Iran conflict and the question Karen keeps pressing: what does “victory” even mean if objectives keep shrinking, commercial shipping remains threatened, and Americans feel the blowback in gas prices and economic stress?

Then we get concrete about military readiness and the defense industrial base: production at scale, logistics, long deployments, and why modern warfare is being reshaped by cheap drones, rapid iteration, and adversaries who adapt quickly. We also touch the bigger arc of a multipolar world, rising interest in gold and precious metals, and what it signals when confidence in US power and strategy slips.
