Ruby Ridge, in the summer of 1992, a remote mountaintop in northern Idaho became the battleground for one of the most explosive standoffs in American history.This week, we take you deep into the story of Ruby Ridge — a case of government overreach, deadly miscommunication, and ideological extremism that changed the way Americans viewed law enforcement forever. It started with a man named Randy Weaver — a former Green Beret wannabe, white separatist, and survivalist who moved his family off-grid to escape what he believed was a collapsing society. But when he refused to become a federal informant, the ATF set a trap: two illegally sawed-off shotguns would snowball into an arrest warrant, a missed court date, and an 11-day siege that left a 14-year-old boy, his mother, and a U.S. Marshal dead.We walk you through the moment-by-moment timeline: the surveillance missions, the fatal gunfight at “the Y,” the controversial FBI sniper rules of engagement, and the second shot that would shatter America's faith in its own government — killing Vicki Weaver as she held her baby in her arms. We explore how the cabin became a fortress of grief and resolve, how negotiators like Bo Gritz broke through the silence, and how the aftermath shook Washington to its core.But Ruby Ridge didn't just end in 1992. It became fuel for the militia movement, a martyr tale for the far-right, and a conspiracy flashpoint that still echoes today. What really happened on that ridge? Who fired first? And why did the federal government quietly settle for millions afterward?Join us as we untangle the real story of Ruby Ridge — a tragedy that lives on in court records, extremist manifestos, and a deeply divided American memory.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

On today's Joe Untamed, we confront one of the most shocking acts of political violence in recent memory—the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during his campus event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was struck in the neck while speaking on stage, sparking chaos as students and staff scrambled for safety. Authorities confirmed the shot came from a building roughly 200 yards away, and although one person was briefly detained, the true suspect remains at large. The FBI and ATF are now leading the investigation, underscoring just how serious this attack is. We speak with Lara Logan, an award-winning investigative journalist who has exposed corruption, terrorism, and propaganda campaigns around the globe, views the shooting of Charlie Kirk as part of a broader pattern where truth-tellers and political dissenters are increasingly targeted. With her deep background in uncovering hidden networks of influence and manipulation, Logan warns that this attack is not random—it reflects the weaponization of narratives and the escalation of political violence designed to silence voices that challenge entrenched power. Her expertise reminds us that, just as in war zones abroad, those who control the flow of information and use violence to intimidate their opponents hold a dangerous advantage unless exposed. Next we connect with E.M. Burlingame, drawing on his experience as a Green Beret, an expert in counterterrorism, and human-domain warfare, agrees that the shooting of Charlie Kirk is not an isolated act but a dangerous symptom of America's growing fragmentation. He sees it as a textbook example of how political violence mirrors insurgent tactics—engineered to fracture trust, capture attention, and distort narratives. In his view, the incident underscores the urgent need for a disciplined, multi-layered response, much like irregular warfare demands: vigilant intelligence, stronger community resilience, and strategic clarity to prevent ideology from destabilizing the nation further.

Seth and Dax talk about whether he believes there are secret military operations that are justifiable, the Fort Bragg murders that kicked off his investigations which became this book, and the massive corruption of the war in the Middle East that rubbed off on its operators. Seth explains how Los Zetas went from US military-trained Mexican forces to the most powerful cartel in the country, the coverup of a drug-fueled “justified” homicide because the perpetrator was Delta Force, and the truth about the origins of the opioid crises and the client-state in Afghanistan.

Wendy Adelson's Ex Reveals Chilling Confession About Charlie's Murder Plot In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Robin Dreeke, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dig deep into one of the most revealing moments in the Dan Markel murder investigation: the police interrogation of Wendy Adelson's ex-boyfriend, Dr. Jeffrey Lacoste. Recorded in the aftermath of early arrests tied to the hit on FSU law professor Dan Markel, the interrogation showcases how detectives worked to separate suspicion from truth. At first, Lacoste himself was under the microscope. But what unfolded quickly redirected focus onto the Adelson family—Wendy, Charlie, and their controlling matriarch, Donna. Lacoste recalled haunting conversations with Wendy, including one where she confided that Charlie Adelson had “legitimately explored” hiring someone to kill Markel. Not a joke, not an offhand remark, but a chillingly serious disclosure. His statement matched courtroom testimony years later, but in this raw police interview, the gravity hits even harder. Our panel breaks down credibility cues, body language, and tempo of disclosure, explaining why Lacoste read as a highly reliable source—even while acknowledging his lingering attachment to Wendy, which slightly complicated his objectivity. We also explore his sharp memory for details, dates, and conversations, and why the one moment he couldn't precisely recall raises questions worth unpacking. The interrogation also highlights Charlie Adelson's bizarre behavior—bragging about his connections to Green Berets and surrounding himself with militant types, despite being a wealthy South Florida dentist. Was this insecurity? Narcissism? A desperate attempt to project toughness after years under his mother's thumb? With convictions already secured against Charlie Adelson, Sigfredo Garcia, and Katherine Magbanua, attention now turns to Wendy and Donna. The Lacoste interrogation remains a critical piece of the puzzle in exposing the family's role in this murder-for-hire plot. Join us as we dissect the interrogation line by line, revealing the psychology, the family dynamics, and the chilling implications for everyone tied to Dan Markel's death.

Lacoste recalled haunting conversations with Wendy, including one where she confided that Charlie Adelson had “legitimately explored” hiring someone to kill Markel. Not a joke, not an offhand remark, but a chillingly serious disclosure. His statement matched courtroom testimony years later, but in this raw police interview, the gravity hits even harder. Our panel breaks down credibility cues, body language, and tempo of disclosure, explaining why Lacoste read as a highly reliable source—even while acknowledging his lingering attachment to Wendy, which slightly complicated his objectivity. We also explore his sharp memory for details, dates, and conversations, and why the one moment he couldn't precisely recall raises questions worth unpacking. The interrogation also highlights Charlie Adelson's bizarre behavior—bragging about his connections to Green Berets and surrounding himself with militant types, despite being a wealthy South Florida dentist. Was this insecurity? Narcissism? A desperate attempt to project toughness after years under his mother's thumb? With convictions already secured against Charlie Adelson, Sigfredo Garcia, and Katherine Magbanua, attention now turns to Wendy and Donna. The Lacoste interrogation remains a critical piece of the puzzle in exposing the family's role in this murder-for-hire plot. Join us as we dissect the interrogation line by line, revealing the psychology, the family dynamics, and the chilling implications for everyone tied to Dan Markel's death.

He gave the Army 20 years, 8 months, and 8 days, nearly all of it in special operations. From Ranger Regiment to Green Beret team sergeant, Joshua Daniel lived and breathed the mission. But when the wars ended, so did the mission, and he felt it in every bone, every memory, every unfinished story. Rather than fade out, he built something bigger than himself. In this episode, Joshua opens up about the pain of stepping away, the harsh words that forced him to rethink his exit, and how he turned guilt into leadership with Hero Games Charity and Counterculture Solutions. From one-on-one mentoring to purpose-driven events honoring Gold Star families, he's proving there's still work worth doing, and it starts with refusing to settle for half a life.

Wendy Adelson's Ex Reveals Chilling Confession About Charlie's Murder Plot In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Robin Dreeke, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dig deep into one of the most revealing moments in the Dan Markel murder investigation: the police interrogation of Wendy Adelson's ex-boyfriend, Dr. Jeffrey Lacoste.

Echo Chamber of Control: Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Adelson Family Psychology In this explosive deep dive, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins Hidden Killers Live to unravel the tangled psychology of the Adelson family. At the center of this discussion: Donna Adelson's obsessive control, Charlie Adelson's dangerous insecurities, and Wendy Adelson's revealing slip-ups that pointed investigators toward a murder-for-hire plot. The episode begins with comparisons between Jackie Fulford, Donna's so-called “doppelgänger attorney,” and the broader Adelson pattern of surrounding themselves with mirrors of their own self-image. Dreeke describes this as the classic “echo chamber” — a family environment where validation replaces reality, breeding narcissism, paranoia, and control. From there, the conversation turns to the police interrogation of Dr. Jeffrey Lacoste, Wendy Adelson's ex-boyfriend. His testimony is not only haunting but also deeply telling. Lacoste recalls Wendy confiding that her brother Charlie had “looked into options” for getting rid of Dan Markel. He describes Charlie openly talking about money, hitmen, and how much it would cost — chilling disclosures that made Charlie the first suspect to enter his mind when news of Dan's murder broke. Robin Dreeke dissects Lacoste's credibility, noting his remarkable memory for dates, his consistent disclosure tempo, and his vulnerability as a man still under Wendy's spell. Dreeke explains how narcissistic family systems thrive on manipulation, impulsivity, and a desperate need for external validation — traits seen across Donna, Wendy, and Charlie. The discussion also explores Charlie Adelson's bizarre associations with Green Berets, criminal circles, and the Latin Kings, questioning why a wealthy dentist would gravitate toward such company. Dreeke suggests this was Charlie's way of masking insecurity, rebelling against his mother's dominance, and fabricating an image of power. This is not just a story of one murder — it's a case study in how toxic family dynamics, unchecked narcissism, and impulsive decisions can escalate into tragedy.

JB White returns with a candid episode mixing personal updates, tech struggles, and sharp political reflections. Broadcasting from Tallahassee ahead of his upcoming hip replacement, he riffs on Trump's authority over agencies like the FBI and Federal Reserve, the fraud of Biden's “81 million votes,” and the ongoing lawfare designed to stall Trump's agenda. The centerpiece is Joe Lang's recent analysis tying together drops, Jeff Sessions, and Trump's Sun Tzu–style battle plan. JB argues that Sessions, Trey Gowdy, and Bob Goodlatte may have been playing assigned roles in a long game of counterintelligence, urging listeners not to dismiss their contributions. He frames Trump as a true wartime president, waging an internal conflict that mirrors the strategies of the Green Berets. The show closes with reflections on Bitcoin, Trump's embrace of crypto, and why the U.S. entrepreneurial spirit ensures both the dollar and digital currencies will shape the future. Raw, personal, and insightful, this episode blends Badlands grit with JB's trademark Southern candor.

In Episode 254, Part 3 of the Mike Drop podcast, host Mike Ritland continues his conversation with former Green Beret Mark Gianconia, delving into the complex motivations behind the Iraq War and Mark's post-combat transition. The episode opens with a discussion on the murky intelligence surrounding weapons of mass destruction and the decision to invade Iraq, exploring whether it was a justified response to perceived threats or influenced by ulterior motives. Mark reflects on the chaotic post-invasion landscape, including his role in devastating airstrikes against the Iraqi military, navigating minefields, and managing volatile tribal factions in Tuz. He shares the emotional toll of combat, including feelings of guilt and fear, which led to his decision to leave special operations. Mark's career pivots dramatically as he becomes an instructor for the 18 Fox intelligence course, mastering geospatial intelligence and coding, which propels him into a tech career. He also discusses his book, One Green Beret, a cathartic effort to process his experiences, and his current role in geospatial technology, emphasizing AI as a tool rather than a threat.

Dive into this epic conversation on the Mike Drop Podcast with Green Beret legend Mark Giaconia. A 20-year Army veteran who traded infantry boots for Special Forces grit, Mark opens up about his raw reaction to 9/11—burning with jealousy as Fifth Group charged into Afghanistan, only to carve his own pinnacle in Iraq's brutal ops. But before the GWOT glory, he takes us back to the forgotten chaos of Bosnia in the late '90s, where peacekeeping turned into high-stakes intel gathering: embedding in remote villages, renting houses amid fresh war scars, and dodging tense standoffs with Serbian cops who grabbed their weapons at the sight of an American. From concealed pistols and civilian rides to wild encounters—like spotting a Beirut bombing fugitive in a roadside eatery or monitoring Russian convoys on the brink of World War III—Mark's stories pulse with the raw edge of undercover life in a powder keg. We geek out on metal shredding (check Patreon for the deep dive), philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche, and his time-travel wish to homestead in colonial Connecticut. Whether it's surviving Ranger School's 200+ day grind, losing 40 pounds in the suck, or bonding with locals over slivovitz amid genocide echoes, this episode hooks you with unfiltered warrior wisdom, historical twists, and the unexamined life's brutal truths.
