    Episode 380: Private Armies, Wars & Blackwater From a Navy Special Operator

    War isn’t what you think it is. A former Navy Special Warfare operator and Blackwater contractor reveals what really happens behind military operations, private armies, and global conflict. This episode of Live From America features a powerful and unfiltered conversation with Trevor Fortner — a former Navy Special Warfare operator and Blackwater private military contractor. Trevor shares firsthand experiences from war zones, including protecting U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad in Iraq, and gives rare insight into how modern warfare actually operates beyond what the public sees. We break down the reality of war — the difference between controlled military strategy and the chaos experienced on the ground — and explore the controversial world of private military contractors (PMCs), including Blackwater and comparisons to groups like Russia’s Wagner Group. The conversation dives into: The truth about private military companies and how they operate The Nisour Square incident and the complexities behind it Accountability, regulation, and the evolution of PMCs The business of war and who really benefits Patriotism, national service, and cultural identity Why war may be inevitable — or driven by leadership decisions Trevor also shares personal reflections on time, leadership, and what he learned from operating in high-risk environments across the world. This is a deep, thought-provoking discussion about war, power, and the systems that shape global conflict.

In this episode of the Live From America Podcast, Hatem Gabr and Noam Dworman break down one of the most confusing and high-stakes global conflicts today: the Iran war and the truth behind it.

  5. Episode 378: How Intelligence Works in War — and How to Apply It to Life, Business and relationships

    Episode 378: How Intelligence Works in War — and How to Apply It to Life, Business and relationships

    How are decisions made in war when the information is incomplete — or wrong? And how can those same intelligence principles be applied to real life, business, and relationships? Episode 378 | Live From America Podcast As global tensions rise — including escalation involving Iran and conflict across multiple regions — understanding how decisions are actually made becomes critical. In this episode of the Live From America Podcast, Hatem sits down with former U.S. Military Intelligence Officer Trenton Miguez to break down how intelligence really works — in war, in high-stakes environments, and in everyday life. Trenton operated in high-risk regions across the Middle East, supporting counterterrorism, threat reduction, and de-escalation missions. His work focused on intelligence collection, analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty — where incomplete or incorrect information can change everything. Today, he applies those same intelligence frameworks to business, leadership, and human behavior — helping people think clearly, assess risk, and make better decisions when the pressure is real. In this episode, we break down: The importance of intelligence in times of war and peace What intelligence really is (and what people get wrong) Breaking down modern conflict and escalation involving Iran Intelligence in a world of AI and misinformation Counterintelligence and deception Operating under uncertainty with limited information Public opinion vs reality — truth vs perception Human intelligence vs artificial intelligence Why movies get intelligence wrong The smartest and worst intelligence operations How to think like a spy in real life Applying intelligence to business, leadership, and relationships Core Question of the Episode: What’s more dangerous — not having information… or believing information that’s completely wrong? Because in the intelligence world, that difference can shape wars, decisions, and outcomes.

    Episode 376 | Live From America Podcast Amanda Knox joins Live From America to discuss her return to Italy and the story behind the Hulu documentaries about her case. We explore the search for truth, media narratives, and what happens when the world believes a story before the facts are fully understood. In this episode, Amanda Knox reflects on her experience being wrongfully convicted in Italy and how the events shaped the global conversation about justice and media responsibility. We discuss two major documentary projects: Hulu’s "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" and her new documentary "Mouth of the Wolf," where Knox returns to Italy and confronts the prosecutor who pursued her case. The conversation examines how narratives are constructed in high-profile criminal cases and asks a deeper question: Does the truth exist if no one believes it? Amanda also reflects on the long aftermath of global notoriety, the challenge of reclaiming identity after a public trial, and the responsibility of storytellers when real lives are involved.
