Former Latvian Defense Minister Dr. Artis Pabriks joins us with a stark warning: the West still misunderstands Russia’s long-term ambitions—and its slow, fragmented response to the war in Ukraine is already reshaping Europe’s future. From Belarus’s silent absorption to NATO’s fragile cohesion, Pabriks argues the stakes couldn’t be higher.

In a seismic allegation, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claims former President Barack Obama “led a coup attempt” against Donald Trump—accusing him of directing the intelligence community to fabricate the Russia collusion narrative to overturn the 2016 election. In this episode, we scrutinize Gabbard’s charge against the historical record, including testimony from former DNI James Clapper and findings from years of bipartisan investigations. Is this a long-suppressed truth coming to light—or a dangerous rewriting of history? We dig deep into the evidence.

In this explosive episode, we dive into Chinese Espionage: Operations and Tactics—a chilling exposé by Nicholas Eftimiades, a 35-year veteran of the CIA, DIA, and State Department. Eftimiades pulls back the curtain on China’s massive, evolving spy machine—revealing how Beijing is quietly infiltrating America’s power grids, research labs and even targeting young U.S. military personnel online. It’s espionage without borders—covert, relentless, and already inside. If you think the threat is far away, this episode proves it’s already knocking at the door.

A high-ranking Ukrainian intelligence officer is assassinated in broad daylight—five shots, close range, in the middle of Kyiv. Within hours, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) launches a manhunt. Days later, they kill two suspects tied not only to Russia’s FSB but also to a U.S.-founded extremist group now operating from inside Russia.

In this episode, Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Sr. Director at the Counter Extremism Project, navigates us through the shadow war playing out across Eastern Europe, where the lines between war, terrorism, espionage, and state power are blurring.

Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker didn’t mince words—Putin has effectively given U.S. Presient Donald Trump “the middle finger,” rejecting every offer of peace Trump has put on the table. From lifting sanctions to restoring Russia’s global status, Trump tried to cut a deal. But Putin isn’t interested. He’s doubling down—escalating attacks on Ukraine, brushing off diplomacy, and chasing an imperial legacy soaked in blood. With over 100,000 Russian troops dead this year alone, even Putin’s allies—Iran, North Korea, and China—are starting to question his grip. This war isn’t just grinding on—it’s accelerating toward a geopolitical rupture.

In this episode, we cover the deadliest escalation between Iran and Israel in years. Beginning June 13, Iran launched up to 350 ballistic missiles and drones in waves that pounded Israeli cities through June 16. Civilian areas were hit hard—28 people killed, including children and a Holocaust survivor, and hundreds injured in Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, Rehovot, and Rishon LeZion. This wasn’t routine retaliation—it marked a dangerous shift into a wider conflict. And today, we bring you voices from inside two different bomb shelters—two very different perspectives on fear, resilience, and what this war feels like from the ground in Israel. We also have an update on where Iran's nuclear program stands.

Two men. One war. And a war of words that could dictate the terms of a new world order. Trump calls Putin crazy. Putin fires back—calls Trump emotional. Trump warns he’s playing with fire. But behind the insults is a deeper conflict—one that could tip the scales of history. At the center: Ukraine. Not just a battlefield, but a test of resolve, ego, and global power. This is where rhetoric meets reality—and the consequences are deadly. Former CIA covert operative Robert Baer explains what drives Vladimir Putin.
