We need to stop right now and take a 30K foot level view of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Why did they do it? And why do they want us in the weeds focusing on small details. It's becoming crystal clear that The CIA and three letter agency connections to the Charlie Kirk assassination are growing too obvious to ignore at this point. Use Tyler Robinson as a patsy, use a convenient trans cover story, admit that you have overwhelming digital data during a court hearing yesterday, ask for a delay because there's just too much Digital evidence against Tyler. The CIA is really good at planting digital evidence. Allow cameras in the courtroom to help sell your story. Former CIA agents and CIA whistleblowers are admitting this has all the hallmarks of a CIA or Intel operation.

Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante returns for an unfiltered deep dive into the realities of power, propaganda, and politics in America and beyond. From why Joe Rogan won't have him on, to the CIA's controversial role in heroin distribution during the War on Terror, this conversation pulls back the curtain on government accountability, shadow operations, and the blurred line between freedom and control. We also cover the assassination of Charlie Kirk, media manipulation, the rise of conspiracy culture, and how global players like Israel, China, and Russia influence U.S. policy. Andrew shares why he's leaving the United States for the sake of his children's future and breaks down how cancel culture, polarization, and fear are eroding real democratic freedoms. If you want to understand how empires fall from within, the mechanics of information warfare, and the uncomfortable truths behind America's foreign and domestic policies, this episode is a must-watch.

Former CIA officer Mike Baker joins Dr. Phil to expose China's long-game intelligence play from IP theft to border infiltration and land grabs near U.S. military sites.   Dr. Phil talks with Mike Baker, host of The President's Daily Brief Podcast, former CIA covert ops officer, and cofounder of Portman Square Group to dissect the threats shaping America's future security. From China's long-horizon intelligence strategy and relentless intellectual property theft, to suspicious border crossings, cyber probing of U.S. infrastructure, and farmland acquisitions near military bases—this conversation connects the dots on a silent war unfolding in plain sight. Baker reveals how these moves aren't isolated incidents, but part of a systemic campaign to weaken America's resilience. Dr. Phil pushes the discussion further: What are the psychological effects of living under constant, invisible threats? Are Americans prepared mentally and structurally for disruption on this scale?

What's REALLY Going On Behind the Scenes of the CIA, the Media, and the U.S. Government? On Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, former CIA agents and intelligence officers Andrew & Jihi Bustamante (creators of the EverydaySpy podcast, authors of Shadow Cell: An Insider Account of America's New Spy War & popular guests on Diary of a CEO & The Joe Rogan Experience) pull back the curtain in this explosive, no-holds-barred conversation. From the moment you marry a spy (can you ever truly trust your partner?) to the shocking 4 categories of lies the CIA teaches—Mayim & Jonathan dive deep into the secretive world of espionage, national security, and the collapse of trust in modern institutions. Andrew and Jihi break down the shrinking middle class caused by American politics post-Trump, what it means for our future, whether the U.S. is moving closer to dictatorship (and if so, can we stop it?), and why the wealthy elite are leaving the U.S. (and which countries they're fleeing to). These whistleblowers expose what the CIA doesn't want you to know: - The 4 categories of lies every CIA officer is trained to tell - The agency's current use of psychics and Cold War-era remote viewing programs - The loneliness and psychological toll of living a covert life - How the news & media is manipulated—and why even “trusted” outlets are failing us - Post-Trump politics: is the U.S. sliding toward dictatorship or already in it? - Why wealthy elites are fleeing America (and where they're going) - The global fallout if a U.S. president is jailed, and what it means for our standing - The CIA's take on Israel, rising global conflicts, and the risk of world war - How AI is dehumanizing warfare and reshaping the battlefield - Why Epstein's case continues to expose cracks in our institutions Andrew and Jihi also reveal how influence, persuasion, and dialogue can still be used productively—even in a fractured society. From Venezuela's collapse as a warning sign to the everyday challenge of separating real news from propaganda, this is more than an interview—it's a wake-up call.

In a nation where the foundations are trembling, today's broadcast will shatter the illusion of stability. We're plunging into the unfiltered reality of election integrity, national security, and global power schemes with two of the most knowledgeable and unyielding voices in the battle. Former CIA officer and national security expert Clare Lopez joins us to unravel the hidden ties between radical Islamic movements and Marxist factions within the U.S. Lopez reveals the ideological assault endangering our nation—and how immigration, ideology, and subterfuge fuel it. Next, Dr. Jerome Corsi, Harvard-educated author and investigative journalist, exposes shocking claims about an Obama-Biden pact with Honduras that allegedly unleashed waves of illegal immigration, cartel influence, and political money laundering. Corsi details how this scheme supposedly leveraged immigration policies, religious figures, and financial ruses to bankroll political agendas, while systematically undermining election integrity. His evidence-based revelations will challenge your understanding of our borders, elections, and government. Far beyond a simple program, it's a bold summons to confront the truth, time for vigilance, action, and resolve. We'll also spotlight the unjust prosecution of Tina Peters, contrasting her severe punishment with the leniency shown to proven election fraudsters. Prepare for bold truths, unapologetic insights, and revelations the mainstream media avoids. Today's Untamed is a must-watch. The future of America is on the line.

In this wide-ranging conversation, former CIA senior leader Sheetal Patel warns about the vulnerabilities the U.S. faces from evolving drone threats, drawing lessons from Ukraine's successful deep-strike operations against Russia. She highlights the lack of clear authorities, resources, and interagency coordination for defending against small drone swarms in America. Patel also stresses the crucial role of the private sector in rapidly advancing both drone and counter-drone technologies and underscores the growing counterintelligence risks U.S. companies face from foreign adversaries like China. The discussion extends to U.S.–India relations, where recent tariffs threaten to undermine years of strategic progress against Chinese influence.

Former CIA officer and bestselling author Barry Eisler joins us to discuss his new novel, The System. Here is what I wrote about the book: The System depicts a fictionalized version of the late US Empire—an economic and military juggernaut now in terminal decline as the regime and its institutions buckle under the weight of their own corrupt and corrupting inertia. With compelling prose, Eisler has written a deep political thriller in which the characters exist in shades of gray. They all must accommodate various governmental and private sector interests in such a way as to become complicit in a system so illegitimate that its true dimensions cannot be candidly discussed or explained in “mainstream” settings. Let us hope that entertaining fiction like this can help snap Americans out of their red/blue partisan trances and unite them against their real enemy—the oligarchic regime itself.

#616: Two school teachers in Ohio saved their entire lives for one dream — buying a farm. When they inherited $1.3 million and found the perfect property for $1.2 million, everything seemed perfect. Five days before closing, they received what looked like a legitimate email from their closing company with wire transfer instructions. They sent the money and showed up at closing, only to discover they'd been scammed. The email was fake, sent by hackers who had infiltrated the closing company's servers for months, waiting for exactly this type of high-value cash deal. That story comes from cybersecurity expert Dr. Eric Cole, who joins us to explain why ordinary people have become prime targets for cybercriminals. Cole, a former CIA hacker who served as cybersecurity commissioner under President Barack Obama and advises high-profile clients including Bill Gates' personal estate, has a message: if you think you're too small to be targeted, you're wrong. While billion-dollar companies deploy teams of 60 cybersecurity professionals, you have virtually no protection. Criminals know this. They're not trying to steal $100 million from one person anymore — they're stealing $50 from thousands of people every month. You probably won't notice the small amounts vanishing from your accounts. Cole calls it "death by a thousand cuts," and it's happening right now. We talk through the most common attacks targeting your money. Bank hacking is simpler than most people realize. All criminals need is your account number — printed on every check you write — and your password. With that information, they can often perform electronic fund transfers of up to 50 percent of your account balance without triggering alerts. Cole explains how phishing schemes have evolved beyond simple email scams. Criminals now use artificial intelligence to mimic voices, calling grandparents with their grandchild's actual voice asking for bail money. Ransomware has become a massive business operation. Cole describes a company in Russia with 700 employees whose entire business model is encrypting people's files and demanding payment. Cole advocates for going old-school on major financial transactions. When buying real estate, he meets face-to-face, brings certified checks, and refuses to trust email wire instructions. For daily security, he recommends turning on two-factor authentication for every account, setting up instant notifications for any account activity, and dramatically reducing the number of apps on your devices. We also cover the China-TikTok connection, secure messaging options, and why Cole helped configure President Obama's smartphone to connect to fake cell towers that masked his actual location. Cole's bottom line: cybersecurity isn't just for tech companies anymore. Criminals are targeting ordinary people because we're easier prey than heavily protected corporations.

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when even the most powerful leaders pull every lever they've been taught to use—bonuses, metrics, training—and nothing changes? That's the question that set Mike Mears, former CIA Chief of Human Capital, on a mission to rethink leadership from the inside out. In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mike joins Mahan Tavakoli to share deeply practical insights on why traditional leadership systems fall short—and what truly drives performance and innovation.As the founder of the CIA's Leadership Academy, Mike brings a unique combination of experience in intelligence, government, and corporate leadership. His ideas are grounded in neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and decades of operational leadership. Rather than focusing on leadership theory, he focuses on how leaders can create psychological certainty for their people—even amid external volatility.Throughout the conversation, Mike challenges long-held assumptions, including the overreliance on performance systems and leadership training that don't account for human nature. He reveals why emotional clarity and trust are more valuable than process, and how small, consistent actions from leaders—like weekly check-ins and genuine recognition—can transform team dynamics and unlock discretionary effort.This conversation is a must-listen for CEOs, board members, and senior leaders who want to move beyond abstract leadership models and build real engagement, alignment, and trust. With memorable stories and tested frameworks, Mike Mears offers a practical guide to leadership that resonates at every level of an organization.Actionable TakeawaysHear how a senior CIA leader's frustration with ineffective levers led to a deep reevaluation of leadership systemsLearn why many leadership tools—still rooted in industrial-era thinking—don't reflect how the brain actually worksDiscover how emotional uncertainty impacts employee performance and what leaders can do to restore clarity and directionUnderstand the behavioral progression that effective leaders follow: safety, trust, clarity, and only then challengeLearn why short, consistent check-ins often outperform more complex performance systemsHear Mike's candid reflection on the value of feedback—and why he wishes he had given far more of it as a leaderExplore how “soft accountability” can help embed new leadership habits without adding bureaucracyUnderstand the long-term damage of poor leadership selection—and why choosing the right managers matters more than developing the wrong onesLearn why culture is local, and why the team leader—not the organization—defines most of the employee experienceDiscover how to align leadership actions with human nature to build teams that perform better under pressure and changeConnect with Mike MearsMike Mears LinkedIn Mike Mears Website Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
