    On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the 9/11 families still lack answers from Saudi Arabia's involvement in September 11th. Mohammed bin Salman's claim that Osama bin Laden used Saudis to destroy U.S.-Saudi relations is crap. MBS says he wants a two state solution with Israel and Palestine but he won't take in one Palestinian from Gaza. Later, NY Post's Miranda Devine criticizes the FBI and Secret Service for mishandling the investigation into Thomas Crooks' attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania rally. An independent source uncovered Crooks' 17 online accounts revealing his ideological shift from pro-Trump supporter in 2019—issuing threats against Democrats—to anti-Trump critic by 2020, with increasingly violent rhetoric advocating terrorism, assassination, and interactions with a neo-Nazi. The Crooks files need to be released.  Also, Gov Mike Dunleavy calls in to discuss a new discovery at Alaska's Graphite Creek site near Nome which has uncovered vast reserves of graphite and rare earth elements potentially dealing a major blow to China's 90% dominance in these minerals. The project qualifies for Defense Production Act materials and plans to ship resources to an Ohio plant, maximizing value through by-product recovery. This find allows the U.S. to wean off China's rare earth minerals. Afterward, all of the so-called Epstein files will be released. Rep Clay Higgins was the only Congressman to vote against it, but he has a good point. There are innocent victims, witnesses and people who were helping investigators that do not want there name out in the media.  Finally, Dr Marc Siegel calls in to discuss his new book – The Miracles Among Us: How God's Grace Plays a Role in Healing.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is operating in an unprecedented way during US President Donald Trump’s second term. The agency has existed for over 20 years, but now operates as a masked force. Imposters posing as agents have committed crimes such as kidnapping and sexual assault. The FBI has urged ICE officers to unmask and identify themselves. How did the agency get here?

    Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On the night before Thanksgiving, November 24th, 1971, a man in a dark suit and a sensible tie took seat 18C on Northwest Orient Flight 305—a short hop from Portland to Seattle aboard a Boeing 727. He ordered bourbon and soda, smoked his Raleighs, and handed a folded note to the flight attendant. It wasn't a phone number. It was a promise. Inside the briefcase, he said, was a bomb. What followed would become the only unsolved hijacking in American aviation history: a case file swollen with false confessions, river drags, suspect sketches, and a handful of decaying bills that surfaced years later like a message from a ghost. In this true crime deep dive, we unravel the legendary 1971 hijacking of Northwest Orient Flight 305 by the man calling himself Dan Cooper—mistakenly immortalized as D.B. Cooper. Calm, well-dressed, and carrying what he said was a bomb, Cooper demanded $200,000 in cash and four parachutes, then jumped out of a Boeing 727 mid-flight over Washington State… and was never seen again.In this episode, we break down the full timeline of the hijacking, how the FBI launched NORJAK (Northwest Hijacking), why the 727's aft airstair mattered, the discovery of ransom money on the Columbia River years later, and the leading suspects who've been tied to the case—none of whom were ever charged. More than 50 years later, the D.B. Cooper case remains the only unsolved skyjacking in U.S. history.You'll hear:Who D.B.

    Ex-FBI sniper Christopher Whitcomb survived warlords, black ops, and helicopter crashes. He's here to explain how calculating risk kept him alive. [Pt. 1/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1242What We Discuss with Christopher Whitcomb:Risk calculation becomes second nature in high-stakes environments. Christopher Whitcomb describes constant mental math in life-threatening situations, assessing odds, escape routes, and survival probabilities while meeting warlords or navigating hostile territories.The psychological toll of extreme operations is cumulative and often invisible. Years of black ops, moral ambiguity, and life-threatening missions create layers of trauma that don't announce themselves until something breaks, making the "finding himself again" journey essential.Helicopters are surprisingly resilient war machines. Contrary to Hollywood's explosive fantasies, Vietnam proved these birds can take serious damage and stay airborne. When power does fail, auto-rotation uses blade inertia to control descent, turning disaster into survivable physics.Adrenaline addiction isn't about having too much adrenaline. Christopher Whitcomb explains he wasn't addicted because he didn't have it; his body adapted to extreme situations by no longer producing the chemical response most people experience, revealing how repeated exposure rewires our biology.Understanding the physics of consequence helps you push boundaries without crossing them. Whether rock climbing, tactical operations, or any high-risk endeavor, calculating limits lets you explore your edge safely.

    The internet is not a cloud; it's a house of cards that is built on the foundation of a small number of companies. When one of those companies goes down, it becomes a widespread issue. We saw that today when Cloudflare's latest outage took out X, ChatGPT, Spotify, and other websites. Glenn breaks down how each outage affects you and ponders what happens when a foreign enemy goes after some of these critical companies. Texas has become the home of hundreds of mosques, as Glenn warns of the political religion that could lead to the complete takeover of Texas and the West. As more information comes out about the man who tried to assassinate President Trump, the FBI's failure comes to light. How did the FBI fail to stop somebody who openly threatened the president? Glenn and Stu further discuss the degenerate nature of the furry community. Justin Haskins, the Heartland Institute vice president and author of “The Next Big Crash,” joins to discuss the signs that a big economic crash is coming.

    Today's Headlines: Trump did a full-speed-reverse on Sunday night, suddenly telling House Republicans to go ahead and vote for releasing the Epstein files—after spending months trying to stop exactly that. By Monday he was even claiming he'd sign a bill to release them, adding the very believable disclaimer: “but don't talk about it too much.” To change the subject, he floated a new promise: $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks for middle-income Americans next year—right around the midterms. Nothing says “stop asking about sexual misconduct” quite like a surprise government check. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel's country singer girlfriend has been assigned her own FBI security detail—yes, on your dime—which is unusual even by this administration's standards. Airports should be mostly back to normal this week now that FAA restrictions are lifted with the end of the shutdown. At FEMA, acting director David Richardson resigned after a rough seven months and a disastrously mishandled Texas flood response. Karen Evans, FEMA's current chief of staff, will take over. Markets took a nosedive, with the major indexes seeing their worst day since Liberation Day. The AI bubble might finally be bursting, especially after new filings showed Peter Thiel's fund and SoftBank both dumped their Nvidia stakes. Finally, a new mental health study found that social media creators are burning out at alarming rates—1 in 10 have had suicidal thoughts tied directly to their work, two-thirds say their self-worth drops when posts underperform, and nearly 70% say their income is totally unpredictable. The Internet economy is thriving; its workers are not.

His agents guarded trains, infiltrated gangs, and uncovered a plot to kill a president.   But how did a poor Scottish immigrant build a private army more powerful than the police?

    Today's Headlines: The House is gearing up for a major vote on Wednesday to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files—and suddenly a lot more Republicans are ready to say “yes” now that it's happening in public. Rep. Thomas Massie says they could have 100+ GOP votes and maybe even build a veto-proof majority. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to steer the conversation elsewhere, calling on AG Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's ties to Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, and JP Morgan—even though Donald Trump himself is the single most mentioned person across those emails.  Trump also found time to wage war on Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her “Marjorie Traitor Greene”. MTG went on CNN to say she's “humbly sorry” for toxic politics and wants the Epstein files released, which… we'll believe when we see it. In other Epstein-adjacent news, several employees at Ghislaine Maxwell's prison were reportedly fired after a whistleblower exposed how much special treatment she's been getting. The DOJ is also in settlement talks with Michael Flynn, who's somehow demanding $50 million in damages for being prosecuted for lying to the FBI back in 2017. As for another distraction tactic, Trump implemented a major rollback of tariffs on beef, coffee, fruits, nuts, spices. He's also rattling sabers with Venezuela as the USS Gerald Ford arrived in the Caribbean. Meanwhile ICE is expanding its aggressive raid tactics to Charlotte and New Orleans. And finally, Indiana lawmakers delivered Trump another L by refusing to redraw their state maps, despite his team begging them to come to the Oval Office so he can “convince” them.

    The Epstein case has always revealed the same ugly truth: institutions protect influential adults far more aggressively than they protect exploited children. These new emails only deepen that pattern. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski and former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program chief Robin Dreeke strip away the political noise and examine what the emails actually show: a system terrified of transparency, trained in secrecy, and conditioned to protect itself — even when minors are involved. Robin explains the behavioral reality behind the new revelations. Why Epstein described Trump as “a dog that hasn't barked.” Why predators routinely exaggerate, distort, and manipulate — and how investigators separate lies from leverage. He details exactly how agents would treat these emails if they landed on a real FBI desk: timelines, corroboration, interviews, behavioral markers, and evidence triage. Tony and Robin also break down the DOJ's credibility crisis. When officials insist there is “no client list,” “no more documents,” and “no wrongdoing,” the public hears something very different — especially after Epstein's sweetheart plea deal, his unsecured sex-offender transfer, and his suspicious jail death. This episode digs into: The secrecy reflex agencies fall into when powerful names appear in case files How bureaucratic fear transforms into silence Why survivors feel erased when institutions minimize evidence Why bipartisan lawmakers are demanding the release of every Epstein file And what a morally correct, victim-centered investigation would look like today This isn't about left or right. This is about children hurt, predators protected, and institutions choosing power over truth.

    It appears that the FBI lied about Trump assassin Thomas Crooks. Not just to the public, but to Congress, under oath. But why? And did Crooks have a foreign, Antifa-linked handler?

    Retired FBI agent Pete Lapp helped capture Ana Montez, a Puerto Rican-born American and UVA alumna who was a senior analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency overseeing the Cuban account. For 17 years, she was also a spy for Cuba and was an avowed communist. Ironically, as many of four of Anna's close family members worked for the FBI and despite Anna's more extreme political views, assumed she was a loyal American. From his book “Queen of Cuba,” Pete relates how Ana was identified as a potential national security risk, secretly investigated, and ultimately apprehended after years of committing espionage. He describes how she transmitted information and also shares his view of her psychology: Withdrawn, lonely, at odds with her father, and driven by her political convictions and personal disagreement with U.S. foreign policy (including its policy towards Nicaragua) rather than financial gain, by which so many other spies have been enticed.Recruited while in college in 1983 during the Reagan administration by Cuban agent Marta Velasquez, (who was also a Puerto Richan-American) Ana's steadfast career rise at the Department of Defense gave her increased access over time to information of value to Castro's Cuba, stopping short of putting agents in personal peril. Cuban intelligence has been chronically underestimated over decades and makes Ana's case a warning example of an organized program to infiltrate critical branches of the U.S. government, along with the recent apprehension of former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Manuel Rocha, whose been identified as a Cuban spy.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

    The Epstein case has always revealed the same ugly truth: institutions protect influential adults far more aggressively than they protect exploited children. These new emails only deepen that pattern. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski and former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program chief Robin Dreeke strip away the political noise and examine what the emails actually show: a system terrified of transparency, trained in secrecy, and conditioned to protect itself — even when minors are involved. Robin explains the behavioral reality behind the new revelations. Why Epstein described Trump as “a dog that hasn't barked.” Why predators routinely exaggerate, distort, and manipulate — and how investigators separate lies from leverage. He details exactly how agents would treat these emails if they landed on a real FBI desk: timelines, corroboration, interviews, behavioral markers, and evidence triage. Tony and Robin also break down the DOJ's credibility crisis. When officials insist there is “no client list,” “no more documents,” and “no wrongdoing,” the public hears something very different — especially after Epstein's sweetheart plea deal, his unsecured sex-offender transfer, and his suspicious jail death. This episode digs into: The secrecy reflex agencies fall into when powerful names appear in case files How bureaucratic fear transforms into silence Why survivors feel erased when institutions minimize evidence Why bipartisan lawmakers are demanding the release of every Epstein file And what a morally correct, victim-centered investigation would look like today This isn't about left or right. This is about children hurt, predators protected, and institutions choosing power over truth.

    This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world—including Donald Trump.Based on exclusive interviews with intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB, thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine. The book addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset? The answer, American Kompromat says, is yes, supporting that conclusion with the first richly detailed narrative on how the KGB allegedly first “spotted” Trump as a potential asset, how it cultivated him, arranged his first trip to Moscow, and pumped him full of KGB talking points. Among its many revelations, American Kompromat reports for the first time that:   • According to former KGB major Yuri Shvets, Trump first did business over forty years ago with a Manhattan electronics store co-owned by a Soviet émigré, triggering protocols through which the Soviet spy agency began efforts to cultivate Trump as an asset, launching a decades-long “relationship” of mutual benefit to Russia and Trump, from real estate to real power.    • Trump's 1987 invitation to Moscow was billed as a scouting trip for a hotel, but according to Shvets, was actually initiated by a high-level KGB official. These sorts of trips were usually arranged for "deep development."   • Before Trump's first Moscow trip, he met with Natalia Dubinin, who worked at the United Nations library in a vital position usually reserved as a cover for KGB operatives.    • In 1987, according to Shvets, the KGB circulated an internal cable hailing the successful execution of an active measure by a newly cultivated American asset who took out full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe promoting policies promoted by the KGB. The ads had been taken out by Donald Trump, who, Shvets said, would become a “special unofficial contact” for the KGB.In addition to exploring Trump's ties to the KGB, American Kompromat also reveals:   • How Jeffrey Epstein and Trump jostled for influence and financial supremacy for years. Epstein became a millionaire in part with the help of Ghislaine Maxwell's father—media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who allegedly served as a spy and likely gave Epstein a sum between $10 and $20 million before his death in 1991.    • How the Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking operation provided a source and marketplace for sexual kompromat.   • How the Epstein-Maxwell ring helped enable young women with possible ties to Russian intelligence to gain access to the highest levels of Silicon Valley and the worlds of artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and the internet. This, at a time when Vladimir Putin has asserted, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere [artificial intelligence] will become the ruler of the world.”   • How John Mark Dougan, a former deputy sheriff in Mar-a-Lago's Palm Beach County, says he acquired 478 videos confiscated from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, fled to Moscow, became only the fourth American to win asylum in Russia, and immediately gained access to Putin's inner circle, showing the ongoing power that comes from kompromat and how its value is highest before it is “used.”https://amzn.to/4i4T3dKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
