Fmr. Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt is in the house to discuss the state of strategic play concerning Iran.  We recorded this on March 5th, but it doesn't matter.  It's all still very relevant today.  Given how fast the world is changing, that's saying something.Show Notes:Blaine on SubstackDangerous Intellectuals PodcastBlaine on XTom on XGGnG Patreon

Podcaster and survivor of the great censorship purge of the Biden Junta Tommy Carrigan joins the show to get on the other side of the microphone and discuss his journey from a fat loser to a hardened veteran.  For me, his story resonates with where our heads need to be to engage the fight in front of us for the future of not just our country but for the direction of the species itself.  Show NotesTPC on YouTubeTPC on RumbleTommy on XTom on XGGnG Patreon
