Former US Air Force Veteran and Blackwater contractor Morgan Lerette joins me to discuss his unusual path into the world of contracting for the legendary Blackwater organization in Iraq. After serving in the Air National Guard overseas immediately following 9/11, a friend convinced him to tryout for Blackwater and go back to Iraq to protect US Diplomats in the early days of the war. Morgan has a sharp sense of humor and wit all while understanding how to keep even the darkest moments light enough to let the listener and reader of his book, "Guns, Girls, and Greed" in and keep the story moving. His candor and brutal honesty regarding the contractors in combat zones and the stunning failure to plan at the highest levels of our government gave life to Blackwater and many others. Morgan shares his best and worst days during his 18 months there and talks about how he left, eventually commissioning in the US Army and returning years later.

Benjamin (@BenjaminPHLN23 on X) stopped by the virtual bar for a remarkably insightful discussion. He recalls his miraculous (my words, not his) recovery from a heart attack and a loss of a limb as a teenager before delving into his philosophical endeavors in college. Eventually when writing for his Masters, he was asked to leave a university due to his paper on abortion and unwavering stance in the face of threats. We discuss his views and he articulates the Catholic position against the extreme while having compassion. We talk further about the loss of community among younger men and Catholics, how to bring young families and singles into the Church and keep them there, as well as conversation regarding the occult, forces beyond our control, and the future of AI. Grab a glass! There Will Be Bourbon. And Catholics!

Lafayette Lee is a contributing editor at IM 1776, delivers excellent written works on his Substack, and also can be found on X @ Partisan_O.

John stops by the virtual bar to talk about our time playing together at Poinciana High School; clearly a formative moment in his professional baseball development! We go on to discuss his time at Auburn, becoming an All-American and eventually getting drafted by the San Diego Padres and making it to the Triple A level. Along the way he figured out the mental aspect of the game and what is required to get the absolute best of yourself not just on the mound, but in life. John has taken this approach and packaged it into his successful baseball program you can find at yougoprobaseball.com. Grab a glass! There Will Be Bourbon!
