    NICK BRYANT | How Political Blackmail Exacerbates Sex Scandals

    We are without a shortage of sex scandals from Jeffrey Epstein to P. Diddy and, now implicated Jay-Z. But sex scandals from the highest echelons of entertainment, social elites, and political juggernauts are nothing new. In fact, Alexander Hamilton was once outed for having an affair with a married woman and Thomas Jefferson was proven to have been sleeping with his slave. Unfortunately, the trend continues with seemingly increasing high profile cases against these villains and their sexual improprieties. Today, I’m joined by investigative journalist, Nick Bryant to talk about his decades-long work against child sex-trafficking. Today, Nick and I talk about the similarities between Epstein and Diddy, why and how these blackmailing strategies turn into political weapons and assets, why these pedophiles get caught when they do, and what a man can do to protect his loved ones and serve a greater calling to destroy these rats.

    JOSH SMITH | Breaking Foreign Supply Chains Through American-Made

    It’s no secret that, during COVID, we began to see how bad the foreign supply chain crisis was. That woke a lot of people up to the reality of importing cheap products from overseas, adversarial countries. But we’ve spent the last century closing American manufacturing facilities and exporting our American jobs overseas. With new potential tariffs (which I believe are more of an economic bargaining tool to Trump), we again are starring down the barrel of high prices for everyday goods. That’s part of the reason, I love what Josh Smith, Founder of Montana Knife Company is doing in a small town called Frenchtown in Montana. He’s putting Americans to work building American products – specifically, hunting, tactical, and culinary knives. Today we talk about the challenges with starting American-Made companies, what you’re likely to hear from competitors when you do, why growth isn’t always so linear and there are no overnight successes, why foreign markets are unfair business partnerships, and learning to build a business from the ground up – literally. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: (00:00) Building Relationships and Hunting Stories (11:08) Knife Making and Hunting Stories (15:37) Special Forces Knife Design Inspiration (21:43) Examining Veteran Stories and Critique (27:48) Balancing Public Image and Personal Life (35:50) Knife Making Ethics and Production (45:58) American Manufacturing, Tariffs, and Government Spending (59:17) Building American Manufacturing and Relationships Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
