In this episode of 'Eyes on Geopolitics,' hosts Dee and Mick Mulroy discuss a range of pressing global issues, starting with the upcoming Montana Intelligence Summit, which aims to bring together experts in national security. The conversation quickly shifts to the ongoing protests in Iran, where Mick highlights the economic factors driving unrest and the potential for regime change. He emphasizes the importance of U.S. support for the Iranian people while cautioning against military intervention, which could lead to worse outcomes. The discussion then transitions to the geopolitical implications of U.S. tariffs on NATO allies and the controversial idea of purchasing Greenland, with both hosts expressing strong disapproval of the latter. They conclude by addressing the situation in Venezuela, advocating for democratic elections and the importance of U.S. influence in the region.

In this episode of The Team House, we sit down with a former U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) combat medic who also spent time with the 75th Ranger Regiment, tracing his path from enlistment through the SF pipeline and into high-tempo operational assignments. He breaks down the realities of unconventional warfare, battlefield trauma care and medevac under pressure, and lessons learned from deployments and partner-force work (including the Gulf War and training alongside Pakistan’s SSG). We also get into building combatives and medical training programs, leadership on an ODA, and how 9/11 reshaped the mission and the generation that followed.

In this episode, the team breaks down the newly released U.S. National Security Strategy, calling out its dramatic shift away from Europe, democracy promotion, and traditional alliances in favor of a hardline, transactional, Western Hemisphere–first approach. They dive into what this means for Russia, Ukraine, NATO, mass migration, and the growing risk of global power realignment. The conversation also examines Venezuela, Europe’s urgent need to rearm, and whether America is walking away from its role as leader of the free world.

This interview features Varpas, a decorated, retired Marine Corps officer and Tier 1 Special Operations operator, detailing his intense career and the harsh realities of transitioning out of elite service. He discusses his unique psychological model, Warrior Withdrawal, which maps the emotional and identity struggles of leaving the hyper-focused warrior life onto the 11 symptoms of Substance Abuse Disorder. The discussion centers on the dramatic loss of purpose and community, and his advocacy for solutions while serving as a psychologist helping veterans navigate these exact challenges.

Former 5th Group Green Beret Drew Estelle joins Jack to walk through his wild path from a chaotic Texas childhood to Iraq, Afghanistan, and covert work supporting the Syria mission. Drew breaks down Iranian influence in Iraq, the intelligence nightmare in Kunduz, building ALP who actually fought, and the political headaches behind training Syrian forces in Turkey. A raw, detailed look inside modern Special Forces operations — and the personal cost that comes with them.

Former CIA officers Mick Mulroy, Marc Polymeropoulos, and Jason Lyons join Dee to explore a chilling hypothetical — what if the U.S. turned authoritarian? The panel breaks down how allies and adversaries might react, how intelligence operations would shift, and what it means for democracy at home and abroad. A rare, insider look at the intersection of espionage and authoritarianism.

Sebastian Bouchard, a veteran of the Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR), recounts his 15-year career, beginning with the unit's founding after the infamous Airborne Regiment disbandment and detailing the brutal selection process . His operational history spans night raids in Afghanistan, a chaotic deployment in Libya, and intense close-quarters combat during the 2015 ISIS push in Iraq. Finally, Bouchard shares his post-military struggle with service-related TBI and his success with unconventional medical treatment, which inspired him to found the global risk mitigation firm, the 242 Group.

Frank Larkin recounts his long career path from Navy SEAL and Secret Service agent to Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, including a gripping personal account of his actions at the World Trade Center on 9/11. However, the central theme is the tragic story of his son, Navy SEAL Ryan Larkin, who took his own life after years of struggling with undiagnosed symptoms. This led to the discovery of severe microscopic brain injury (TBI) from repeated blast exposure, which had been misdiagnosed as PTSD. Larkin now advocates to force the DoD and VA to prioritize TBI research and unite biological injury diagnosis with mental health treatment to protect the "thinking warrior brain."

The Navy SEALs are, for most Americans, the ultimate heroes. Their 2011 killing of Osama Bin Laden was celebrated as a victory in the War on Terror. Former SEALs rake in thousands of dollars as leadership consultants for American corporations. And young men who want to join the military dream of serving in their elite ranks.
But as recent revelations have shown, the SEALs have lost their bearings. In Code Over Country, investigative journalist Matthew A. Cole tells the story of the most celebrated SEAL unit, SEAL Team 6, revealing the dark, troubling pattern of war crimes and deep moral rot hidden behind the heroic narratives. From their origins during the World War II and their first test during the Vietnam War, the SEALs were trained to be specialized killers with short missions. But as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan turned into the endless War on Terror, their carefully-managed violence spiraled out of control. Drawing on years of reporting, Cole follows SEAL Team 6's history, the high-level decisions that unleashed their violence, and the coverups that prevented their crimes from coming to light. Code Over Country is a much-needed reckoning with the unchecked power of the military -- and the harms enacted by and upon soldiers in our name.

Ivan Ingraham returns for his second appearance to dive deeper into the powerful themes of his novel, Once We Pledged Forever, which examines the intense psychological and moral challenges faced by Marine special operations officers. Ingraham shares his insights on the corrosive effects of toxic leadership and MARSOC controversies, contrasting the warrior ethos with the difficult reality of maintaining integrity under pressure. He emphasizes the veteran's long struggle for reconciliation—balancing pride in service with the duty to family and the need to heal from war's hidden toll.

Inside the Yakuza | Jake Adelstein | Ep. 375

121 min Transcript
View
Investigative journalist Jake Adelstein details his career covering the Japanese criminal underworld, from his early days reporting in Tokyo to the high-stakes confrontation with Yakuza boss Goto Tadamasa that forced him into police protection. The interview thoroughly examines the Yakuza's culture, including the history behind their tattoos and the ritual of the sacrificial finger, and discusses the decline of the crime syndicate in modern Japan. Later, the conversation covers Adelstein's unique projects, such as investigating human trafficking and the Fukushima disaster, before revealing his path to becoming a Zen Buddhist priest. Finally, he introduces his latest book, The Devil Takes Bitcoin, which chronicles the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange collapse.
