We saw in the last episode, that Britain's involvement in the NATO intervention in Kosovo could be regarded as part of an ‘ethical foreign policy', since its objective, many felt, was humanitarian, though others disagreed. Another military action, to support the government of Sierra Leone against rebellion, was more clearly humanitarian rather than self-serving, and so easier still to defend on ethical grounds.All this, together with a strong economy and some reforms that were beginning to bear fruit, in the social, educational and health arenas, but Blair's Labour government in a strong position. So it called a general election in June 2001, when it would set out to do something the party had never achieved before: win a Commons majority, serve out a term in office, and then win another.And Blair pulled it off. Indeed, not only did Labour win, it took another landslide majority.Celebrations didn't last long though. Within three months of the election win, terrorists attacked the US in the atrocity we now call 9/11. An attack that serious led to a massive response, but not against the nation from which most of the terrorists and their leader, Osama bin Laden, came, which was Saudi Arabia, but against the nation that offered bin Laden refuge, Afghanistan.That rather questioned the extent to which Labour was pursuing a foreign policy that could be called ethical. However, far worse was still to come. That, though, we'll see in the next episode.Illustration: the Twin Towers ablaze on 9/11, 11 September 2001.

Nick dives into the long tradition of breaking on Saturday Night Live—those unexpected moments when cast members or hosts crack up mid-sketch and the fourth wall comes tumbling down. While frowned upon in the show's earliest years, breaking eventually became part of the fun, and no one was guiltier of it than Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz. This episode revisits some of their most infamous crack-ups, from “The Leather Man” to “Aquarium Repairmen” to the unforgettable “Sadam and Osama.” Nick also plays clips from a Tonight Show interview where Fallon and Sanz laugh about their reputation for breaking and share behind-the-scenes stories from their time at Studio 8H. To round things out, Nick goes back to the very first major break in SNL history, when Candice Bergen lost it during a 1976 sketch, proving that sometimes the funniest moments are the ones that weren't planned.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela kick off with playful headlines from celebrity news about Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. The hosts turn to the much-hyped release of the Amelia Earhart files, treating the century-old mystery as a jumping-off point while questioning why other long-awaited files remain sealed. The conversation then moves to digital ID proposals in the U.K., where the group unpacks concerns about government control, surveillance, and social credit systems. The hosts also weave in reflections on pop culture, music history, and generational shifts. Later, they examine the role of the Anti-Defamation League, discuss New York mayoral politics, and explore surprising revelations about Osama bin Laden's media consumption. International activism enters the mix with Greta Thunberg's involvement in a pro-Palestine flotilla, highlighting tensions between political movements and cultural values.

PREVIEW GUEST NAME: Alejandro Peña Esclusa; Bill Roggio 50 WORD SUMMARY: Alejandro Peña Esclusadiscusses Venezuelan opposition leaders (González and Machado) asking the UN and US to intervene against the Maduro drug cartel, an ally of Iran, Cuba, and Putin. Bill Roggio covers the potential US swap of Guantanamo al-Qaeda operative Muhammad Rahim (an ally of Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar) to secure an American hostage held by the Taliban.

ROGGIO Bill Roggio, associated with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discussed the recent news regarding a hostage situation involving the Taliban. Key details from Roggio's segment: Hostage Release: Secretary of State Rubio reportedly won the release of an American citizen who had been held hostage by the Taliban in Kabul for nine months. The citizen was being held "illicitly and outrageously." The Cost (The "Twist"): Roggio noted that the crucial detail—the "twist"—is what the US may have given up in order to secure the return of its own citizen. The Likely Swap Target: It is very likely that the exchange involves an individual held at Guantanamo named Muhammad Rahim, an al-Qaeda operative. Significance of Muhammad Rahim: According to US intelligence: Rahim was close to Osama bin Laden. He helped bin Laden escape from Tora Bora. He served as Mullah Omar's driver. Mullah Omar was identified as the founder and former head of the Taliban. US Military Stance and Prediction: Muhammad Rahim is an individual whom the US military does not want to release. Despite this, Roggio predicted it is very likely that Rahim will be "walking free sometime soon." Negotiation Dynamics: Roggio concluded that in these types of negotiations, there is "always a cost," and the Taliban usually wins.

Time now … for the losers. Time to hear from presidential candidates who ran for the White House – and lost … and the reasons they gave for losing. Like Democrat John Kerry after the 2004 election Fear and the war were shoved at America in an exploited way that made it very difficult for people to get out from under that 9-11. And when Osama bin Laden appeared on the Friday before the election in that tape, it shifted the last days of that election. And Republican George Bush after the 1992 election: I think by beating back against tremendous odds, some lousy legislation, we ended up with getting good legislation. I'm afraid in the campaign, in the process, we were accused of being against people because of having to take a stand for fiscal responsibility Losing a presidential election is back in the news. In September 2025, Kamala Harris will publish a memoir on her losing run for the White House in 2024.   Which makes this the perfect time to hear other presidential candidates explain why they lost.   What do they say about losing? What went wrong? Why failure? Who's to blame? – And -- is it ever the losers' fault?   Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" — when we hear exclusively from just one group of people — the losers.   Find C-SPAN's "The Weekly" wherever you get podcasts.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk They frame Kirk’s death as a political assassination, comparing it to historical killings of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts emphasize concerns about political violence, the dangers of polarization, and left-wing reactions online. They highlight messages of unity from unexpected voices on the left, such as Cenk Uygur, while contrasting that with those celebrating Kirk’s death. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz details violence by Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, citing statistics of tens of thousands of Christians killed and thousands of churches destroyed. He introduces the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which seeks to: Classify Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom. Keep Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa labeled as terrorist groups. Sanction Nigerian officials complicit in persecution. The discussion connects this to broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, criticizing past administrations (especially Obama and Biden) for not doing enough to defend persecuted Christians. Tucker Carlson’s controversial statements Carlson’s remarks about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning Hamas’s designation as a terrorist group, and sympathetic portrayals of Russia and Iran are strongly criticized. Cruz and Ferguson accuse Carlson of moral relativism, equating his views with those of progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. They reaffirm that groups like Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are terrorist organizations, citing both U.S. and international designations as well as historical attacks.

El 9 de septiembre de 2025, Israel realizó un ataque aéreo en Doha, Catar, contra líderes políticos de alto rango de Hamás. Aunque los objetivos principales sobrevivieron, cinco miembros de menor rango murieron. Este evento ha desatado una fuerte condena internacional y plantea un complejo debate geopolítico. Puntos Clave:Reacciones y Críticas Internacionales:El Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU y varios países condenaron el ataque como una violación flagrante de la soberanía de Catar y del derecho internacional.Incluso EE.UU., aliado de Israel, expresó su desaprobación.Justificación de Israel:Israel, liderado por Benjamin Netanyahu, defendió la operación como un acto de “legítima defensa” y un golpe necesario contra el terrorismo, comparándolo con la operación estadounidense que mató a Osama bin Laden.Argumenta que no puede haber “refugios seguros” para los líderes de Hamás, a los que responsabiliza de la masacre del 7 de octubre de 2023.La “Hipocresía” de Catar:El texto subraya la doble moral de Catar: actúa como mediador neutral en las negociaciones de paz entre Israel y Hamás, mientras alberga y protege a la cúpula política de Hamás en su territorio desde 2012.Se critica a su canal estatal, Al Jazeera, por actuar como plataforma propagandística para Hamás, presentándolos como “luchadores de la resistencia” en lugar de terroristas.Impacto en las Negociaciones de Paz:El ataque ocurrió en medio de frágiles negociaciones de alto el fuego mediadas por Catar, Egipto y EE.UU., lo que podría sabotear por completo el proceso diplomático y la futura disposición de países a mediar.Consecuencias Geopolíticas:La acción podría escalar el conflicto regional, generando una mayor solidaridad árabe con Catar y posibles represalias.Expone las contradicciones en la política global: mientras Israel es condenado por violar la soberanía, la protección de figuras terroristas por parte de Catar a menudo pasa desapercibida debido a su riqueza e influencia.El ataque como una violación censurable del derecho internacional que pone en riesgo la estabilidad regional. Sin embargo, también sirve para exponer la hipocresía de Catar, que profesa ser un pacificador mientras da cobijo a una organización considerada terrorista por gran parte del mundo. El evento deja el camino hacia la paz más estrecho y complicado.

Nine-eleven ist zu einem Synonym geworden. Nine-eleven meint den 11. September 2001. An diesem Tag sind in den USA vier Flugzeuge entführt worden um damit einen beispiellosen Terrorakt zu vollziehen: die Nutzung von Passagierflugzeugen als menschengesteuerte Angriffsmaschinen, um so viele Menschen wie möglich zu töten und quasi den USA den Krieg zu erklären. Und das in der unglaublich verqueren Logik von Osama bin Laden und Al Quaida – im Namen Gottes.Im Namen Gottes töten? Das widerspricht absolut unserem Empfinden von gläubigen Christen, die an einen liebenden und lebensspendenden Gott glauben. Ja, auch Christen haben im Laufe der zwei Jahrtausende im Namen Gottes getötet. Und wir sind bis heute beschämt darüber. In unserer heutigen Lesung steht aber genau das Gegenteil von machtvoller Demonstration von Überlegenheit und kriegerischer Kraft. Im ersten Petrusbrief geht es darum, einander zu dienen als gute Verwalter der vielfältigen Gnade Gottes, jeder mit der Gabe, die er oder sie von Gott empfangen hat. Wer redet, rede mit Worten, die Gott ihm gibt, wer dient, der diene aus der Kraft, die Gott verleiht. So wird in allem Gott verherrlicht durch Jesus Christus.Wer aber aus der Kraft Christi wirken will, wird tun, was Christus getan hat: den Armen beistehen, die Kranken pflegen, Kinder segnen, Trauernde trösten, und allen Menschen das Reich Gottes verkünden. Dieser 11.9. kann uns helfen, darüber nachzudenken, was ich, was jede und jeder von uns im Namen Gottes tut und das wichtigste Gebot dabei keinesfalls zu vergessen: Liebe Deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst.

Tucker Carlson has been at the center of several heated debates and high-profile moments over the past few days. In a recent high-profile interview on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Carlson discussed his forthcoming documentary series centered on the events of September 11, 2001, promising to question the official narrative and explore what he calls overlooked truths. This project has already sparked substantial discussion across social media, with Carlson suggesting that Americans deserve to know "what actually happened." The documentary, teased heavily in his media appearances, is expected to challenge both government transparency and media orthodoxy.Carlson also recently tangled with billionaire Mark Cuban during a live debate over U.S. aid to Ukraine. Pushing Cuban on his support for Ukrainian aid, Carlson pressed him to personally contribute, leading to a viral exchange in which Cuban admitted that, despite vocal support, he had not donated money directly. Carlson criticized this position as performative, igniting a broader discussion online about authenticity in political advocacy.In his own podcast, Carlson made headlines for saying he would feel comfortable offering condolences to Osama bin Laden's family after his death. This remark drew sharp condemnation from Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who called Carlson's comments bizarre and took issue with Carlson's broader arguments about U.S. foreign policy, particularly his interview with Iran's president and his willingness to air controversial historical perspectives, including a guest who argued the U.S. should have sided with the Nazis in World War II. Cruz warned against entertaining such extreme views and questioned Carlson's judgment for giving them airtime.Carlson's influence continues to loom large in the conservative media world. According to the Daily Signal and AMAC, Fox News recently acquired Red Seat Ventures, the firm representing Carlson and several other prominent right-wing hosts. This comes as part of a significant shift in the media landscape, with new private sector initiatives and media outfits challenging what some describe as legacy media's former dominance.Financially, Carlson's independent media company, Last Country Inc., is thriving after a major investment from 1789 Capital, which is linked to Donald Trump allies and positions itself as championing conservative and "anti-woke" values. The company reportedly focuses on building a "parallel economy" that caters to audiences seeking alternatives to mainstream narratives and institutions. 1789 Capital touts investments in other prominent ventures alongside Carlson's company, reinforcing his significant standing in the evolving right-of-center media ecosystem.Recent discussions about Carlson's impact have centered not only on his reach but also the controversies he courts—by hosting polarizing guests, challenging American foreign policy consensus, and amplifying debates around topics like the COVID-19 response, as seen in episodes of his Tucker Carlson Network.Carlson also remains engaged in ongoing debates about political trust, media bias, and the role of new media in shaping public opinion. His statements and projects continue to generate strong reactions from both supporters, who view him as a truth-teller unafraid to challenge establishment narratives, and critics, who argue that his platforming of fringe or extreme viewpoints is reckless and divisive.Thanks for listening to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

Alleged Targeting of Christians by the Biden Administration The discussion focuses on a task force created under former President Trump, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi, which claims to have uncovered numerous instances of anti-Christian bias within federal agencies during the Biden administration. The report accuses agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Labor, and others of mishandling or denying religious exemptions, imposing large fines on Christian universities, targeting religious groups through the DOJ and FBI, and showing favoritism toward non-Christian religions. Cruz and Ferguson frame this as government “weaponization” against Christians, emphasizing violations of First Amendment rights and calling for accountability, firings, and possible prosecutions. Criticism of Tucker Carlson’s Recent Positions The second half shifts to sharp criticism of Tucker Carlson, arguing he has become increasingly extreme and “unrecognizable.” They cite his comments about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning whether Hamas is a terrorist group, and sympathetic tones toward authoritarian leaders like Putin and the president of Iran. Cruz and Ferguson strongly denounce these stances as “bizarre,” “unhinged,” and morally wrong, stressing that groups like Hamas and leaders like bin Laden should unequivocally be condemned. They frame Carlson as betraying conservative principles and aligning with rhetoric from figures like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib, which they see as evidence of his spiral away from mainstream conservatism.

What drives someone to board a helicopter on what might be a one-way mission to take down the world's most wanted terrorist? In this gripping conversation with Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill, we dive deep into the mind of the man who killed Osama bin Laden and explore the extraordinary journey that led him there.Rob's story begins unexpectedly in Butte, Montana, where a chance encounter with a Navy recruiter – and the absence of the Marine recruiter he'd actually come to see – set him on a path that would ultimately change history. With disarming honesty and unexpected humor, he reveals how he joined the Navy without even knowing how to swim properly, a decision that would lead him through the world's most grueling military training and eventually to SEAL Team 6.The psychological framework that carried Rob through countless missions resonates far beyond military applications. "Long-term goals are achieved through short-term goals," he explains, breaking down how SEALs compartmentalize seemingly impossible challenges. His philosophy on quitting – "Never quit right now. That's emotion. Quit tomorrow" – offers profound wisdom for anyone facing adversity.The heart of our conversation centers on the bin Laden raid – the 90-minute helicopter flight into Pakistan, the crash landing that threatened to derail the mission, and those fateful moments face-to-face with America's most notorious enemy. Rob's vivid recounting places you right beside him in that compound, experiencing the controlled chaos and split-second decisions that changed history.What stays with you longest isn't the tactical details, but the humanity behind the mission. These weren't supermen, but ordinary Americans with extraordinary training, willing to sacrifice everything not for glory, but for the victims of 9/11 who never chose to be in the fight. As Rob poignantly reflects, "We're going for the single mom who jumped to her death out of a skyscraper because that's a better alternative than whatever was happening at 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit."Listen now to hear one of the most consequential military operations in American history told by the man who lived it. Then ask yourself: What challenges in your own life might benefit from a SEAL's mindset?The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

Andrew Card served more than five years as White House Chief of Staff for President George W. Bush. Less than eight months into Bush's first term, Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners. Two were flown into each of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Another was used to crash into the Pentagon. The fourth plane was headed to Washington, but was forced down in a Pennsylvania field by the heroic passengers of United Flight 93.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Mr. Card takes us moment by moment as he learned the disasters in New York City were actually deliberate acts of terrorism by Islamic extremists, told the president the news in a Florida elementary school classroom, gave orders to get Air Force One ready to depart early, and figured out where they were going next.He also takes us inside the intense debate he had with the president about whether to return to Washington and the first decisions Bush had to make, including whether to shoot down airliners refusing to obey air traffic commands.Card also discusses President Bush's speech after returning to the White House, his impromptu message to Ground Zero recovery workers  on a bullhorn, his emotional meeting with first responders and families of those lost on 9/11 and much more.We'll also hear why Bush asked Card to take one high-ranking national security official "to the woodshed" and the shocking thing British Prime Minister Tony Blair told Card after Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress. And we'll learn how both Bush and Card were scolded after Bush said he wanted Osama bin Laden captured "dead or alive."

Filmen visar hur den jordanska stridspilot som kraschat med sitt plan utanför Raqqa I Syrien stängs in i en bur och bränns levande till döds. En av de IS-krigare som medverkade i mordet var den då 22-årige Osama Krayem från Malmö. Tio år senare ställs han till svars i en världsunik rättegång i Stockholms tingsrätt.

Marshall and Jon discuss the legacy of America's 20-year war in Afghanistan, how policymakers and the military struggle to define "victory" during wartime, why post-WWII conflicts and the end of the norm of "total war" has made it harder to "win," and why, despite achieving the goal of ending the country's status as a safe haven for terror, eliminating Osama bin Laden, and initially removing the Taliban from power, the U.S. still lost the war.

In this episode of The Burn Bag, A'ndre sits down with retired CIA analyst Gina Bennett, who famously authored the first classified warning about Osama bin Laden in 1993. A key voice in the fight against al-Qaeda — and featured in the Netflix documentary Manhunt — Gina reflects on her decades in intelligence and how the U.S. national security system has long understood the nature of threats.Now, she's pushing for a paradigm shift with her Hunter-Gatherer National Security theory — a bold framework that challenges the traditional, militarized view of power and argues that skills like emotional intelligence, civic engagement, and social cohesion are just as vital to national security as military might. Together, A'ndre and Gina explore the deep historical biases embedded in how we define “security,” the concept of evolutionary power, the dangers of neglecting civic education in a democracy, and what a more holistic, evolved security strategy could look like.

(5:53) • [Rob O'Neil] I have a podcast as well, called “The Operator.” We're called The Operator because if you're doing anything, you're an operator. (6:18) • Having a big man to kick your ass and teach you wind a bobbin; you realize there is skill here. (9:59) • When people quit BUDS, it's not because “this is hard”. [It's because] I'm tired of the broken foot.; I'm tired of the shin splints; I'm tired of my dislocated shoulder; I'm tired. (21:20) • In BUDS, one of the biggest problems is eating too much. Like I want 5 cheeseburgers, but we have a 4-mile run afterwards. (26:35) • [Rob] and for everyone that doesn't know, can you explain what a SDV is? (39:20) [Marcus] Imagine a mini submarine and shrink it down. The difference is that a submarine is dry inside, and the SDV is completely full of water. (39:23) • Listen to Marcus discuss the details of being in an SDV for 8 hours. Talk about ultimate torture - If you have a deep freeze in your garage, fill that sucker full of water, crawl in there and sit down for 8 hours. (40:32) • The first time I got in there, I was terrified. (45:29) • [Marcus] There's stuff that happens to us out there. Sometimes safety gets in the way of it. (58:49) • [After falling down the mountain during Operation Red Wings] I could hear that stream running. I've got to get me water, but I kept thinking I can't drink out of it, because my buddies are in it. (81:07) • If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plan is. (92:04) • [Marcus] Bro, when you saw that son of a bitch's face [Osama Bin Laden], what was the first thing you saw? [Rob O'Neal] I saw his nose. He was skinny, wearing white – tall. (95:22 ) • My nickname was “Nisro” (Navy SEAL Rob O'Neal). When they asked “Who got him?” They go “Nisro,” and they said “Fuck! We're never gonna hear the end of it.” (97:30) Support Robert:   - IG: mchooyah - Host of The Operator Podcast Support TNQ   - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13   -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors:   - dripdrop.com/TNQ    -  cargurus.com/TNQ    - armslist.com/TNQ   - partnersinbuilding.com - Navyfederal.org        -    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - WARFARE IN THEATERS APRIL 11th Watch Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JER0Fkyy3tw First Look Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3DWuqiAUKg&t=3s    -   - PXGapparel.com/TNQ   - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ    - Selectquote.com/TNQ    - Groundnews.com/TNQ    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - shipsticks.com/TNQ    - Robinhood.com/gold    - strawberry.me/TNQ    - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}    - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ]   -  kalshi.com/TNQ   -  joinbilt.com/TNQ    - Tonal.com [TNQ]   - greenlight.com/TNQ   - PDSDebt.com/TNQ   - drinkAG1.com/TNQ   - Shadyrays.com [TNQ]   - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ]   - Hims.com/TNQ   - Shopify.com/TNQ   - Aura.com/TNQ   - Policygenius.com   - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ]   - usejoymode.com [TNQ]

All while trying to evade federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), the deadliest agent you'll find  in Hillary Clinton's State Department.   We discover how fascinating Vin Diesel is for Laci, who has had startlingly little exposure to the man of the vast empire he controls.

It's not that they're captivating actors.

Lt. Col. Robert Buzz” Patterson exposes the terrifying, behind-the-scenes story of the years when the most irresponsible President in our history had his finger on the nuclear trigger. Dereliction of Duty is the inside story of the damage Bill Clinton did to the U.S. military and how he compromised our national security. From his laughable salutes, to his arrogant, anti-military staffers, the message came through loud and clear: the Clinton Administration had nothing but contempt for America's men and women in uniform.For two years, Patterson was the White House military aide who carried the nuclear football,” which provides the President with remote nuclear strike capabilities. What he witnessed is shocking. In Dereliction of Duty, Patterson reveals:How Clinton missed a golden opportunity to take out Osama bin Laden long before September 11, 2001Why a minor family matter” caused the Clintons to scramble a military jetHow a young Clinton staffer tried to divert a full Navy carrier battle group just so the President could have a photo-opWhy female stewards on Air Force One had to keep their distance from the PresidentBut that's not all. Colonel Patterson reveals that Clinton treated our nation's most sensitive secrets and powerful weapons with cavalier disregard, while his aides regarded the military as just another tool for domestic politics.Dereliction of Duty is the book every American concerned about our national security has been waiting forwritten by a military man who was an eyewitness inside the Clinton White House, and who can no longer in good conscience keep silent.https://amzn.to/462zE9fBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this gripping episode, Zak Paine and Jon Herold sit down with Nick Noe, a Benghazi whistleblower whose experience inside U.S. military intelligence offers an insider's view into some of the most explosive claims of the last two decades. Nick recounts his time working at the 603rd AOC in Ramstein, where he witnessed the events of Benghazi unfolding in real-time and the orders to stand down that left American forces unable to respond. He details how these actions tied into a larger web of deception surrounding Osama bin Laden, including allegations that John Brennan facilitated bin Laden's protected status in Iran for years. The conversation dives into Extortion 17, the alleged trophy kill operation, and the suspicious deaths that followed. Nick also shares how whistleblowers were stonewalled by Congress and the FBI, and how his evidence, including recordings and classified documents, is starting to surface as military tribunals begin. This first installment offers an unfiltered look at the hidden history behind Benghazi, 9/11, election interference, and the deep state's parallel power structures.

In this explosive episode, CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by Nick Noe for a deep, unflinching look at some of the most controversial operations of the modern era. Nick walks through the tangled web connecting Osama bin Laden, Extortion 17, and the Benghazi attacks, explaining Alan Howell Parrot's extensive evidence that bin Laden was sheltered in Iran and that the infamous SEAL Team 6 raid was a staged trophy kill. The trio dives into the CIA's covert Safari Club, secret payouts, and weapons trafficking under Hillary Clinton, including the flow of Stinger missiles through Benghazi that were later used to shoot down American helicopters. They also break down how black budgets and stay-behind networks shaped regime change from Iran to Ukraine, and why General Dan “Raisin” Kane's sudden rise to power signals a larger military restructuring. With stories of vanishing witnesses, threats against whistleblowers, and decades of hidden crimes, this episode is a marathon of classified history, raw frustration, and a call to expose it all.

Unsolved Murder of Jim Grimes Haunts Quiet Tennessee Town By Robert Riggs A bold reward offers ONE MILLION DOLLARS to solve a cold case murder mystery. Since the $25 million bounty on Osama bin Laden, few rewards have reached this level—yet a grieving widow in rural Tennessee is offering $1 million of her own money to find her husband's killer. A single shotgun blast shattered the life of a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. Sixty-three-year-old Jim Grimes was ambushed while tending animals on his peaceful property on April 19, 2021. No witnesses. No forensic evidence. Just shadows and silence. Who knew Jim's routine? Who knew their way around the property at night? Who lay in wait? And who's finally ready to talk? This is a true crime story of grief, grit, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

In honor of the Memorial Day holiday, we're once again re-airing an interview we did back in 2017 with retired Admiral William “Bill” McRaven. If Bill's name sounds familiar, it's because he presided over the 2011 Navy SEAL raid that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. A few years later in 2014, the four-star admiral and 37-year Navy SEAL veteran delivered the commencement speech at his alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin. Little did McRaven know that his address, which spoke to how students could overcome challenges and change themselves, would become a viral hit with 20 million views online. McRaven was eventually encouraged to expand his commencement speech into a book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World. Have a money question?

Former Congressman Kurt Weldon claims Osama bin Laden was hidden in Iran with U.S. intel cooperation, not in Pakistan. Backed by CIA veterans, “birdmen,” and multiple sources, he details 10 silver bullets and offers to take a polygraph. Why was bin Laden buried at sea—and by whose order?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Phoenix Eichner, a 20-year-old Florida State University student and son of a Leon County sheriff's deputy, opened fire near the Student Union on the FSU campus in Tallahassee, killing two people and injuring six others. The media's response to this is so predictable. They focus on gun control but ignore other amendments, while advocating for due process for illegal immigrants. Not all violent deaths, like stabbings, involve guns, yet the media emphasizes the Second Amendment. This shooting, where the shooter's mother is a deputy with necessary gun access, is unrelated to gun control. The media should clarify which amendments they prioritize and why. Also, Islamists follow a purist ideology that prioritizes the afterlife and seeks to eliminate barriers to pure Islam, including less devout Muslims and non-believers. The 9/11 attacks, led by Osama bin Laden, exemplified this ideology, as does the Muslim Brotherhood. Traditional deterrents fail against this mindset, which values the next life over the present, making Iran's potential nuclear weapons a serious concern. Allowing a country that chants "Death to America" to develop and potentially use nuclear weapons is not noble. Later, Mark announced that President Trump had appointed him to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, which is a great honor. Those appointed to this board want nothing to do with open borders.  Afterward, the Supreme Court will review Trump's plan to restrict birthright citizenship, which lacks a basis in the 14th Amendment. One possible solution the court could agree on is ending birthright citizenship from a set date, grandfathering prior cases. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
