President Donald Trump on Monday said negotiations with the Iranian regime are "proceeding nicely." He said there will only be either a great deal for all, or a return to "Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before."

Israel's assault on Iran comes while it's still attacking Gaza and Lebanon, after bombing Syria, Yemen, and Qatar in the past year. What are the risks for Israel opening another battlefront, and from the collapse, or the survival, of the Islamic Republic?

Clay joins journalist Jonathan Thompson, publisher of The Land Desk on Substack and author of Sagebrush Empire: How a Remote Utah County Became the Battlefront of American Public Lands. Thompson, who is currently living in Greece, begins by providing a European perspective on what is happening in the United States — the assault on NATO, the flirtation with taking Greenland from Denmark, the overreach of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service, and European bewilderment about America's intended place in the world community. Most of the conversation is about the crisis of public lands in America — the push to open more of the public domain to resource extraction, the calls for privatizing parcels of BLM land in the West, and the recent revocation of grazing permits for the American Prairie Reserve in eastern Montana. And oh yes, the future of the Colorado River. This episode was recorded on January 28, 2026.

Today, we investigate the intersection of the energy transition, critical minerals and defense. As with commodities, warfare is also going through rapid and profound change, with the electrification of defense over the last 20 year. Batteries proliferate the battlefield and the energy transition is impacting national security. We are seeing the shift from capital assets to small, cheap weapons such as drones that can have profound impacts. This poses a particular problem for the US, where energy dominance has been based in hydrocarbons along with their warfare fighting capabilities. Now in an electrified battlefront, supply chains that support them sit in China, threatening the West's defence capabilities. Our guest is Joe Bryan, principal at Muswell Orange, a boutique consulting firm, focused on energy and particularly its intersection with national security. Before his return to the private sector, Joe was a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense and was the Department sector, of Defense Chief Sustainability Officer. He previously served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Navy for Energy, where he was responsible for policies relating to the Department's installation and operational energy programs. Earlier in his career, Joe led investigations for the Senate Armed Services Committee and served on both Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence and the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He has consulted on energy policy around the world and began his Investigations. He has consulted on energy policy around the world and began his career working on electricity restructuring and state level policies to encourage growth of clean energy markets.

The Star Wars Battlefront 2 community is rising from the ashes—and we're here for it. In this episode, Sage Goodwin and SammyBoiii dive deep into the unexpected resurgence of Battlefront 2, what's driving players back eight years after launch, and why this classic FPS might be the key to the future of Star Wars shooters. We explore: The community-led Resurgence Day movement Why EA and Lucasfilm Games can't ignore these player numbers What Battlefront 3 could look like—and who should make it The frustrating state of modern FPS games Why Battlefront 2's monetization-free model feels so refreshing today With 30,000+ concurrent players and meme culture breathing new life into the game, the demand for a new Battlefront is louder than ever. Is this just nostalgia—or the clearest signal yet that the FPS industry needs a shake-up?

In this riveting conversation, Tara and Roger draw stark comparisons between the U.S. military campaigns in Iraq and the escalating domestic unrest in California. They recount how immigration enforcement operations now resemble war zones—with armored vehicles, block-by-block advances, and threats from radicalized protesters. The hosts discuss ICE raids hampered by local political leaders, no-go zones where law enforcement fears to tread, and shocking allegations of child exploitation in blue-state sanctuaries. Framed as a struggle to reclaim American territory from chaos and criminality, this segment warns that parts of the United States are slipping into lawlessness reminiscent of foreign conflict zones.

Duncan, Eddie and Lee return with another episode of Shoot and Scoot, the Team Yankee wargaming podcast. This episode we talk about what we have been painting and playing, and discuss Battlefront's recent announcement, and ponder the state of WW3: Team Yankee wargaming.

This Week: Elden Ring: Nightreign is here and it's dominating, Zelda’s live-action movie is starting to take shape with its first casting rumor and should there be a Battlefront 3? We go over EA’s cancellation of its Black Panther game, and what that means for titles like Mass Effect 5 and the Jedi franchise. Meanwhile, Call of Duty fans are pushing back on new in-game ads for microtransactions, and we look at how studios are proving that $40-$50 games can still feel AAA. With Summer Game Fest and the launch of the Switch 2 just days away, we’ve got our predictions. Victor Lucas and I discuss!

The global economy is in a tumultuous state, inflation has carved away everyone's purchasing power, and prices are almost universally going up. So naturally, PlayStation will follow suit and jack its rates up too, right? Well, no. Instead, they're doing the exact opposite of what seems natural: For their annual, weeks-long Days of Play sales event, Sony has slashed prices on PS5 and PS5 Pro, PSVR2 and DualSense, and even DualSense Edge and the Access controller. Is Sony's boldness in risking economic erosion worth it? Is its strategy simply to put its boot on Xbox's neck once and for all? We discuss. Plus: If all went according to plan, The Order: 1886 would have gotten two sequels, EA cancels its Black Panther project while shutting down the studio behind it, Build A Rocket Boy suggests there may be a paid, organized campaign against its upcoming title MindsEye, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What does Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's success mean for the future of global JRPGs? Could Star Wars Battlefront be revived on the basis of a recent resurgence in popularity? Is Colin ignoring an obvious connection between Souls games and his beloved Castlevania?

Clay Jenkinson interviews Jonathan Thompson, the author of books about the American West, including Sagebrush Empire: How a Remote Utah County Became the Battlefront of American Public Lands. Thompson has written much about the pushback of western ranchers, irrigators, mining interests, and chambers of commerce against federal regulation (and even federal ownership) of the public lands in the West. How should we balance the varied interests in the West: agriculture, mining, motorized recreation, backpack recreation, Native American interests, and America's deep addiction to carbon extraction? Who should be at the table? Clay asked Thompson to look at the West from 38,000 feet and offer his predictions of its future in the second half of the 21st century. Will President Trump achieve his goal of privatizing whole swaths of the public domain?

Nazi Germany had finally been defeated. And, for 24 hours, Britons could let their hair down and celebrate. But not everyone was in the mood to party. As 2025 marks the 80th anniversary, John Willis tells the story of VE Day via the experiences of ordinary Britons who lived through it. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, he discusses what these testimonies reveal about the state of mind of a nation after six long years of war. (Ad) John Willis is the author of The People's War: Unheard Voices: Life on the Battlefront and at Home in World War II (BBC Books, 2025).

During the Biden administration, we witnessed one of the most blatant public violations of the First Amendment in U.S. history. Simply voicing a different opinion became a crime, with examples of persecution based on free speech including J6ers, Tina Peters, and others. This ideology—that free speech must be restricted—has not faded since the election of Donald Trump, with Europe remaining one of the biggest proponents of speech restrictions. Freedom of speech must be protected at all costs, and the United States should not align itself with any country that does not champion these beliefs. Joe Biggs joins us to share how his rights were personally violated and how free speech today only applies if you agree with the status quo. Next up: more DOGE updates, audits, and government cuts. This week is going to be big. All this and more on today's Untamed!
