    They Don’t Want You to Watch This | TMP 005

    In this episode, we're diving into the recently released Epstein files and exploring the extensive networks and high-profile individuals involved in the case. From timelines to legal implications, we cover it all. FACT CHECK: In this episode, I gave a list of people not found in the Epstein files to contrast with the oft-maligned individuals and the traditionally well-respected people found in the files associated with Epstein and his ilk. It wasn't entirely accurate, as the following individuals are "mentioned" in the files if you search for their names in the DoJ database. Context is important, though, as almost all of them were only mentioned in the context of them being famous, not because of any communication with Epstein: - Charlie Sheen is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Howard Stern is mentioned multiple times, often as an arch-enemy of sorts, and definitely not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Jimmy Kimmel is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Kanye West is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Tom Cruise is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Joe Rogan is mentioned in the context of Epstein asking for an introduction to him via a professor who was a guest on the JRE podcast, as well as multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Dennis Rodman is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. Did you know we're going back to the Moon? After we're all thoroughly grossed out and disgusted by Epstein and his ilk, I transition over to discuss the implications of the Artemis II mission, which marks a new era in space exploration. And, of course, we can't talk about the Moon and space exploration without mentioning the new documentary "Age of Disclosure." We'll examine the national security concerns surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), the so-called "Legacy Project", and all the characteristics that make a UAP a... well, UAP. Finally, I'll share some insights on parenting in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of protecting children from both physical AND emotional damage. In this era of smartphones and internet access for all, we need to emphasize to our children how important it is to safeguard both their minds and hearts.

    Greenland Tensions, Iranian Revolution, and Aquaman Apprehensions | TMP 003

    This week, we’re diving deep into the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding Iran and Greenland. With everything going on, I thought it was important to start with a little historical context on Iran, tracing its tumultuous past from World War II to the present day and highlighting key events such as the 1953 coup, the Iranian Revolution, and the ongoing protests against the regime. And of course, I did my best to explain the implications of U.S. foreign policy in the region, including military actions and sanctions, and give you my take on the potential outcomes of a revolution in Iran. Transitioning to Greenland, I have… concerns. I’m not crazy about the Trump administration's aggressive stance towards acquiring the territory, which has led to tensions with our NATO allies. I acknowledge the strategic importance of Greenland, but we need to recognize the potential consequences of our actions on international relations—particularly in light of Russia's interest in the situation. With news out of the way, I dive into my recent re-watch of the Jason Momoa-led Aquaman movie with my daughter, before wrapping up this week’s episode with a few insights on stepping outside one's comfort zone, drawing from my own experiences in the military and life.
