We welcome to the show Joe "Jody" Daniels, a US Air Force Veteran of the Cold War and like Brandon & Zach, a military policeman.

When you use the colloquial term "Renaissance Man", Jody is the embodiment of that sentiment.

As Seneca the Younger, the Stoic philosopher, once said: "Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature."

In modernity, this quote is about men like Jody, whose principles stand under pressure, who understands that the obstacle is the path, and hard work leads to freedom.

In this episode, the guys sit down and discuss Jody's life, what he's accomplished, and what he still has left on the table. The prevailing conversation turns to American nihilism and first world comforts corrupting minds, bodies, and lifestyles. We discuss the hypocrisy of our modern society, how its eroding the strengths at the core of American principles, and what we need to do to get back on the path.

Don't miss this fantastic conversation on real, American issues, blazing your own path, and being grateful for the opportunity to show up and just DO.

We welcome to the show Matthew Harris, a US Air Force Security Forces Member (Military Police) and friend of both Brandon & Zach.

Like so many other military members across the DoD, Matt had questions and concerns when, a few years ago, the DoD demanded its members receive the jab or face separation from service.

For many service members, the decision to get it was simple and many did as they were asked. Yet, for a small number, the demand did not make sense. It seemed more politically charged than what was medically best. More importantly, it went against their morals and values.

During the period of time where Matt was standing up for his beliefs and trying to navigate through his decision to refuse, he was consistently cut down, told he was a bad person and poor leader, told he was harming the mission, and all in all was "othered" as so often happens when people go against the flow.

We thank Matt so much for joining us, sharing the journey he was on, why he refused, what it was like dealing with condescending unit leadership during this time, why he believes in what he did, and what got him through it. We certainly believe in Matt and are proud to call him a friend and a brother, not just in arms, but as family.

Matt's story is so important and exhibits what it means to stand up and look adversity in the face. Listen to Matt's story and understand what happened from not just a unique perspective, but from the perspective of someone with steadfast mental and moral fortitude.

Brandon sits down with Felix Tabary, Co-Founder of activist investment group "Troop". The power divide between the everyday investor and corporate C-Suite executives is as wide as the Grand Canyon. Troop is changing the landscape on Shareholder Activism by bringing awareness to proxy voting advisory and leveling the playing field.

Many are unaware of the rights and capabilities they have when they go to invest. Information on how you can interact, how you can vote, and what you have a say in are all things often not realized and intentionally obfuscated. Band together, fight back through investment activism and remember...Apes Together Strong.

Vince “Rocco” Vargas is a US Army Ranger Veteran, Border Patrol Veteran, and author of the new book, “Borderline: Defending The Homefront”.

In this episode we discuss Vince’s upbringing, how his new book (out on November 14th) highlights the role of Border Patrol, the ongoing problems at the US Southern Border with Mexico, and why we need to pay attention to this issue.

The border presents a variety complex problems requiring both security posture and empathy. It is not often that these two concepts converge, but the dichotomy Border Patrol Agents and Americans face requires bipartisan action.

Make sure you give this important episode a listen, hear what Vince has to say about the difficulties allowing illegal immigration to persist, why the system aiding those seeking asylum is broken, and how the system encourages people to go around legal methods of immigration.

You can pre-order “Borderline: Defending The Homefront” online wherever books are sold!

"I Came With Fire Podcast's" first ever "After Fire Embersode"!

In these "Embersodes", Zach & Brandon do an instant react to the conversation they just had on the full episode. They give insight not mentioned on the full episode, discuss other relevant topics, and give candid thoughts and opinions on the topic at hand and the way the conversation went down.

No episode is scripted, but every episode is planned with a template in mind with how each conversation could go. These "Embersodes" are completely raw, unfiltered, and without any guidelines. This is just Brandon & Zach at their best.

In this one, the guys discuss the now famous photo of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, seated in what appears to be a SCIF, looking defeated and tired. The photo described now, perhaps not so hyperbolically, as "The first man to know about World War III". Brandon & Zach also discuss they conversation with Christopher Messina on the previous "Special Release" episode and give further thoughts to the global climate at hand.

These "Embersodes" won't always come out after a full episode, so when you see one...don't miss it! Let us know what you think about these smaller shows and whether you want them more or less often!

As always, thank you so much for listening! We appreciate you all, and wish you nothing but peace, happiness, and safety.

****DISCLAIMER****

The opinions herein are on the ongoing conflict between Israel & Palestine. The views expressed are personal and may, in some viewers, provoke intense feelings. "I Came With Fire Podcast" does not condone genocide/terrorism in any form & believes war should be avoided at ALL COSTS. Peace should always be the first option in any conflict. The views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the personal views of the hosts or their guests. All perspectives deserve a voice in order to avoid further and greater conflict. Viewer discretion is advised. ****DISCLAIMER****

This is the first ever "Special Release" of "I Came With Fire Podcast"! This episode was not predicted nor advertised...but, current events demand a conversation! Stay tuned in the future for more "Special Release" episodes.

"I Came With Fire Podcast" is joined again by Christopher Messina, owner of Tanbreez, the worlds largest rare earth mineral mine, host of the "Messy Times Show", and writer for the "Brownstone Institute".

In this emotional episode, Christopher discusses some brief history of the Israel & Palestine conflict, the Zionist movement, personal opinions and experiences, and hopes to dispel some of the misinformation existing about Israel and the Jewish people as a whole. Furthermore, Christopher provides insight into why he feels the events of October 7th, 2023 are the exact events that will set off "World War III".

Throughout history, certain events have proven to be the "points of no return" toward global conflict. Whether it be the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand preempting WWI, the German invasion of Poland preempting WW2, or "insert event here", preempting WW3...there will be a day and time recorded in the history books as the "event" that kicked off all the chaos.

We sincerely hope the events of October 7th are not such events and hope peace can be established. We also endorse only those armed actions/conflicts that exist fully within the "Law of Armed Conflict" (LOAC).

We will continue to invite and talk with others from different perspectives, as again, all perspectives should be heard to remain as objective as possible and to help avoid further and greater conflict through knowledge and conversation.

Ensure you also check out the FIRST EVER "After Fire Empersode" after you listen to this episode with Christopher Messina! In all future "After Fire Empersodes", We carry on the conversation from the previous Episode and give some more personal, in-depth, and relevant thoughts about the conversation. DO NOT miss these "Embersodes" and a candid look at Brandon & Zach's full REACTION to the full episode record!!
