- The Lusitania Gambit (1915) - E42 -R22
May 7, 1915—the RMS Lusitania sinks off Ireland, lives lost to a German U-boat. Was it tragedy or Britain’s cold bet? Lewis and Deb dive into decoded intel, hidden gun cotton, and a king’s eerie hint—unpacking how Britain spun the dead to pull the U.S. into WWI. From Morgan’s cash to Wilson’s waver, historians clash: sloppy chaos or deliberate play? The blueprint begins—means for ends, no regrets.”

- Hamilton and Burr. Who's Your Huckleberry? Don't Let Treason Get in the Way - E36-R3It's interesting how history rhymes. What a deceptive web people weave.

Well, a lot of times. Even today. History has an answer for you, and it's blunt. Many times, it's not what you would expect. Come on in and join us. I turned the lights on for you.21 min
- Don't Take It Personally. Dien Bien Phu and Operation Passage to Freedom - It's Just Business - E32-R13Proxy, Propaganda, and the Principle. When you have them, you're unbeatable. Well, maybe not. What does Dien Bien Phu and Operation Passage to Freedom have in common? Come on over to the RedPill Diary and listen in. I turned the lights on for you.21 min
- Teapot Dome. Texas Tea and Salt Creek - They Took the Last Train for the Coast - E31-R7You have to deal with the cards you have; sometimes, the unexpected can create a butterfly effect. Chicago and 1920 are an exciting combination. Join us. The lights are on.19 min
- Tensions and Triumphs: Trade, War, and Unity (1806–1815) - E30
Join Lewis and Deb, two regular folks, for a lively chat on The Red Pill Diary, diving into 1806–1815. This punchy episode unpacks America’s wild ride through trade chaos, epic battles, and faith-fueled unity. From the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair’s naval drama to Perry’s Lake Erie heroics, Tecumseh’s “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” stand, and “Biddle’s Bank” sparking economic fights, discover quirky gems like steamboat wrecks and spyglass smuggling. With tariffs as the cash cow, every move mattered. Expect banter, fresh insights, well, maybe, and history’s lessons. Eyes open, lights on!
