Podcasts about Benghazi

Never mind. I found a good Memorial Day episode. And by "I", I mean it definitely wasn't Louisville Joe who came up with the idea and found the episode number for me. Nope, all me. Anyway, Tig, Oz, and Tanto were all present at the attacks in Benghazi in 2012. Can't get much more military than that. Surprisingly, for people who recently saw direct combat, they're fairly upbeat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 740 Can collagen help you ‘die young as late as possible' and keep your body in peak condition? Sean Lake, Founder of BUBS Naturals, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 740, to share how collagen supplementation transformed his own healing process, allowing him to maintain a life of adventure in his 50s, why only a fraction of supplement companies genuinely care about helping you heal, and how collagen helps with connective tissue repair and alleviating joint pain. "After you're in your early mid-20s, you lose 1 to 2% of the collagen in your body every year. So when you turn 55, you're at half. All of your connective tissue support is fed by the exogenous intake of collagen peptides, and it fuels that collagen production inside the human body." - Sean Lake 20% Off BUBS Naturals' Collagen Peptides Using BUBS' Collagen supports your body and enhances overall wellness from the inside out. BUBS Collagen Peptides start out as grass-fed bovine collagen and are then turned into collagen peptides through a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process. This process transforms the collagen into much smaller and easily digestible peptides that are highly bioavailable. Collagen peptides are typically recommended for those looking to support skin health, improve joint function, boost bone density, and enhance hair and nail growth.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Exogenous Collagen Peptides "If you exogenously take collagen peptides, it will have your body endogenously producing collagen peptides. And that collagen protein in your body is going to help with your hair, skin and nails. But more importantly, it will improve your muscle recovery, joint health, and intestinal health." - Sean Lake Show Your Children The Right Path "I'm hell bent on taking care of myself physically, mentally, spiritually, as much as humanly possible, learning as much as I can, because I want to be as present as possible so that I can give all that up to be there for my children. So that it's not about me, it's about them. What am I bringing to the table to help shape them, to help steer them, to help show them the path? They have to walk it, but I want to show them the right path." - Sean Lake Can You Get Enough Collagen From Your Diet? "Ground beef and bone broth are an amazing way to get gelatin collagen in the body. But what you don't realize is how much you'd have to eat. For most bodies, 20 grams is the baseline. But to get 20 grams from nature, you'd have to be eating a lot of ground beef or bone broth. And our lifestyles don't really allow us to do that and then there's also a digestive cost." - Sean Lake Links From Today's Show  Sean Lake BUBS Naturals - 20% off with code JOSH20 357 Robb Wolf | Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat The Collagen Synthesis Response to an Acute Bout of Resistance Exercise Is Greater when Ingesting 30 g Hydrolyzed Collagen Compared with 15 g and 0 g in Resistance-Trained Young Men 216 Exploring The Shadow Self For Healing: George Bryant 629 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) The Queen's Code by Alison Armstrong Driven by Dr. Doug Brackmann + Randy Kelley Thomas DeLauer Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley -  Save 15% off here!

In 2018, he launched BUBS Naturals, naming the company after his best friend and adventure partner, Navy SEAL Glen “Bub” Doherty, who was killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack. BUBS commits 10% of every sale to veteran-focused charities, most notably the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation and the Navy SEAL Foundation, so the business is, in Lake's words, “a perpetual fundraiser disguised as a supplement company.” Website Instagram Facebook YouTube

The world has a lot wrong with it right now. There are serious injustices. We can't fix everything. But as Sean Lake's story proves, sometimes you look around and realize your moment has come, and you answer the call to step up and right a serious wrong.For Sean, that moment tragically came when his best friend Navy SEAL Glen Doherty was killed in action, defending the CIA Annex in the notorious Benghazi strike on 9/11/2012. Discovering a major inequity in the death benefits system, Sean sued the federal government, challenged the CIA, and ultimately succeeded in getting the agency to change its standards to offer its personnel like Glen a proper death benefit. In fact, because of Sean's work, the CIA not only changed the standard, they retroactively awarded death benefits to over fifty families.Today, Sean is a successful entrepreneur, a devoted husband and a loving father. As a former professional athlete, he maintains an impressively active lifestyle, engaging in snowboarding, cross-training and various athletic endeavors that few would dare attempt after the age of 50.https://www.bubsnaturals.com

Mark Lamb is the unapologetically bold, newly-retired Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, who made national waves for bringing old-school grit and modern media savvy to law enforcement. Serving from 2017 to 2024, Lamb wasn't just a badge and a gun—he became a digital-era lawman, turning to YouTube to share raw, unfiltered police footage while regularly appearing on FOX News, Newsmax, Live PD, and 60 Days In. Known for his no-nonsense stance on border security, Lamb stepped into the political arena in 2024, launching a U.S. Senate run to replace Kyrsten Sinema—only to be edged out in a high-profile primary battle by Kari Lake. After nearly two decades of service and a reputation that stretches far beyond Arizona, Sheriff Lamb officially hung up his badge on December 31st, 2024—but he's far from done making noise. #sheriff #LEO #navyseals #sherifflamb #arizona #lawenforcement #backtheblue Subscribe to the Mike Drop Patreon Page to see Ad-Free Episodes Early + Bonus Content at https://www.patreon.com/mikedrop ---------- Support Mark Lamb - Get Your Copy of Mark's Book 'American Sheriff: Traditional Values in a Modern World' and 'American Sheriff: Rules to Live By' at https://www.sherifflamb.com/ Website - https://www.sherifflamb.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/americansheriff/ X - https://x.com/sherifflamb1 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sherifflamb ---------- Sponsors: C.

Ashe in America and CannCon crack open Chapters 2 and 3 of Government Gangsters, uncovering shocking connections between the Benghazi cover-up, selective prosecutions, and the real roots of the deep state's grip on justice. From Kash Patel's courtroom showdowns and DOJ sabotage to the weaponization of the judiciary and the truth behind SignalGate, this episode hits harder than a redacted Special Forces op. Throw in a few spicy sidebars on failed upward mobility, the FBI's greatest hits, and Epstein theories, and you've got a book club like no other.  

Iron Butterfly Podcast is back for part two of our season premiere with Katrina Mulligan!  Part two is just as fun as the first with Katrina diving back into her extraordinary career. Currently the National Security Lead at Open AI, Katrina shares her experiences as Barack Obama's paralegal before he even ran for the Senate, working on GTMO policy at the ODNI, and being Chief of Staff to the first female Secretary of the Army. Along the way, she shares some unforgettable moments and reflections. She even talks about attending Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour and making friendship bracelets with her boss!

Ghost is joined by CannCon and Alpha Warrior for a powerful deep dive into the tragic Tongo Tongo ambush that claimed the lives of four U.S. soldiers in Niger in 2017. What was originally framed as a simple reconnaissance mission quickly turned deadly...and suspicious. The crew breaks down the mission's timeline, the intel failures, and the eerie absence of air support, while exploring the theory that this was no accident but part of a much darker operation. They also dig into the media's attempt to spin the story as "Trump's Benghazi," the Pentagon's questionable cover-up, and the geopolitics behind it all, including CIA involvement, uranium interests in Niger, and the globalist plan to destabilize Africa. A gripping and emotional episode that shines light on a story too many have forgotten.  

Clint Emerson is a retired DEVGRU Navy SEAL, bestselling author, media personality, and the #1 crisis management professional you want in your corner when things go awry. As an operative within the elite SEAL Team 6, Clint served in various combat zones executing high-stakes missions including against Somali Pirates, Al Qaeda Leaders, and other covert operations. And he's a returning guest to the podcast as well - a personal friend of Mike's outside the studio, familiar fans will recognize Clint from his previous appearances alongside the likes of Shane Hiatt and Clark Impastato. But lately, Clint's been working on something new - a state-of-the-art crisis management and risk mitigation company called 'Escape The Wolf' that's been making worldwide waves in the private security sector due to Clint's emphasis on providing actionable information on insecure corporate buildings, file systems, and even employees - all obtained by breaking into multi-billion dollar corporations in the dead of night, among other means. And speaking of security, what kind of hardware are two retired Navy SEALs like Mike and Clint hauling around in their EDC's nowadays, anyway?

This week we focus on football in Libya, as Senegal's Aliou Cissé has been appointed Libya national team coach, with a contract that will make him the second-highest-paid coach in African football, and with a glittering new stadium opened in Benghazi. Will Libya be rewarded with success?Also we talk about the issue of players switching international allegiance, and we hear from Chuba Akpom, who switched allegiance from England to Nigeria, but is still waiting to be called up by the Super Eagles.And Stuart has lots on the FA Cup, including analysis on Manchester United's exit from the competition.

Jon Herold and GhostofBPH dive deep into one of the most sinister cover-ups in recent history...the Tongo Tongo ambush in Niger. Was it a Pentagon-orchestrated setup to create a Benghazi-style scandal against Trump? The guys break down the botched mission, the outrageous media spin, and the real reason Green Berets were left to die while the deep state scrambled for damage control. They also dissect the latest Epstein document debacle, Pam Bondi's weak rollout, and the ongoing exposure of the DOJ and FBI. Plus, the team takes a hard look at Ukraine's sudden pivot to peace and what it really means for the deep state's grip on global power. It's a wild ride of hard truths, baseless theories, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

[EP 25-039] Trump is making major moves on multiple fronts. He will keep the Left hopping for some time. Leftists now feel what we have felt since the Obama era. News came fast and furious under Obama as Leftists honored the saying, “Let no crisis go to waste.” Obama's legacy is pitiful. His administration presided over multiple scandals, while being in the midst of them. Obama even had the gall to declare his administration scandal-free. That statement kept him in the news cycle. Meanwhile, his IRS prosecuted conservative organizations, he tried to run guns from Mexico, and he allowed veterans to die on waiting lists. And that's just for starters. Obama also persecuted journalists, he blatantly lied about Obamacare and the ability to keep your doctor, and he allowed 4 Americans to die as he ignored their pleas for support during Benghazi. The man who was supposed to be a uniter, divided the country on race lines, gender lines, and religious lines. We are still dealing with the fallout of Obama's policies. And let's not forget that Obama doubled the debt. For 8 years we played defense with Obama. Because he controlled all the levers of politics, particularly the media.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

This past week, a podcast decided to go after the men who took part in "13 Hours" that survived the Benghazi attacks of 2012. They claim that members of Delta Force have a different story to tell, and that the accounts of Tanto, Boon, Oz, and Tig, along with Sarah Adams are fictional. On this episode our host Kris "Tanto" Paronto responds to these malicious claims. Follow us:http://instagram.com/battlelinepodcasthttp://twitter.com/battlelinepod For 20% off your first order with Bubs Naturals go to https://www.bubsnaturals.com/?discount=BATTLELINE ..

P1: And we're back for another fiery show! Tig Tiegen joins us to discuss his time in Benghazi, recounting the story of 13 Hours and highlighting what a proper, masculine militia looks like—and why such a force is necessary to properly defend our country. Later, Joe and Tig discussed Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing for Attorney General, noting how she stood her ground on key issues that have concerned Americans for years. They also touched on Marco Rubio's hearing for Secretary of State, commending how he clearly and effectively articulated his position. In closing, the pair urged that our GOP members must support Trump's picks. Failure to do so would be a blatant betrayal, not just to Trump, but also to the people.

Alex Cody Foster is one of the most successful Ghost Writers in the world. Having penned eight #1 Amazon best sellers, he's one of the most sought-after Ghosts in the field - a reputation that would eventually attract the attention of the highly controversial crypto magnate John McAfee. Alex's travels with Team McAfee would go on to inspire his book 'The Man Who Hacked The World: A Ghostwriter's Descent Into Madness with John McAfee', along with inspiring the Netflix documentary 'Running with the Devil' in which Alex himself would also star. Since then, Alex has continued writing, dancing along illicit lines with the story of Owen Hanson in 'The California Kid: From USC Golden Boy to International Drug Kingpin' along with his investigations into serial killers and murder theories. Recently he's taken a keen interest in one criminal conspiracy - the Smiley Face Murders, a serial killer theory alleging that the drowning of 45 men across the United States are actually the collected works of by a shadowy group of murderous individuals. It all makes for a killer conversation - now if only we had the perfect ghost to punch it up. --- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 09:54 - Obsessed with the Craft 19:29 - Waking Up in Different Timezones 28:39 - Growing Up in the Woods on the Cape 37:13 - Nearly Expelled from High School 51:57 - Going Homeless to Hitchhike Across the Country 01:18:51 - A Homeless Documentarian on the Streets of L.A. 01:33:49 - How to Shoot a Documentary With No Money 01:47:31 - Meeting My First Serial Killer 02:02:00 - I Remember When I Lost My Mind 02:26:30 - A Memoir in Maine 02:33:43 - Ghost Writing in Bar Harbor 02:44:08 - Finding the Next James Patterson 02:50:14 - Then I Met John McAfee (Thanks to Jimmy Watson) 03:06:33 - Team McAfee Falls Apart 03:17:59 - The Man Who Predicted John McAfee (& Jeffrey Epstein's) Demise 03:25:21 - On Body Language - Detecting Killers with Predatory Intent 03:35:25 - Stepping into the World of Serial Killers 03:57:33 - Regarding the Smiley Face Killers 04:15:05 - Starting WHSK - We Hunt Serial Killers 04:19:01 - Writing the Owen Hanson Story in 'The California Kid --- Support Alex Cody Foster - Get Your Copy of Alex's Books 'The Man Who Hacked The World' & 'The California Kid' at https://shorturl.at/VP38G We Hunt Serial Killers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whskofficial We Hunt Serial Killers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WHSKOfficial Website: https://www.alexfosterghostwriter.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfosterghostwriter --- Sponsors: 120Life Go to https://www.120life.com - that's https://www.120life.com - and remember to use code, “DROP” D-R-O-P to support the show and save 15%! --- BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB' Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Ryan Hendrickson is a 13-Year Green Beret, Author, and Landmine Recovery Expert. While serving as an 18C in 2010 on his first deployment as a Green Beret, he suffered an IED blast that should have killed him - a devastating injury that would have cost him his leg, if not for the Army's new THOR 3 program and a newfound appreciation for medical limb salvage. To the surprise of nearly all parties involved, Ryan returned to the battlefield a mere 18 months later, where he continued to serve for 12 more years at the Tip of the Spear. Later, he'd pen a memoir of his personal struggles from his deployment journals called ''Tip of the Spear: The Incredible Story of an Injured Green Beret's Return to Battle' along with pivoting into military contracting, but he felt a new calling when the Russia/Ukraine engagement began to swell in 2023. He headed into the chaos, performing his unique specialty - the deadly art of landmine removal - where he continues to work today. One thing's for sure - with Ryan's newfound appreciation on life (and surprise in-studio guests like Scott Huesing in tow), anything's possible.  Subscribe to the Mike Drop Patreon Page to see Ad-Free Episodes Early + Bonus Content at https://www.patreon.com/mikedrop  ---------- Sponsors:  Public Rec Save up to 20% OFF when you use code MIKEDROP at checkout at https://www.publicrec.com!

How confident are we in our election integrity? Do we believe that our votes are counted fairly - and that the people we're electing to office are truly there to represent us? And between the political lobbying, allocated tax dollars, social media shadowbanning, and widespread fears of national voter fraud, how does anybody maintain any real confidence in the system? One thing's for sure - with a big country comes big problems, and big solutions aren't always easy to come by.  That's why Mike's sitting down with two friends of the show - Clint Emerson, ret. SEAL Team 6 and the author of '100 Deadly Skills', and Clark Impastato, ret. SEAL Team 5 and a former Phoenix Police Officer - to talk about the state of the union, U.S. election integrity, potential long-term solutions, and how things may end up going after November 5th, 2024.
