On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head and her guests who both honorably retired from the US Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) discuss former FBI Director James Comey’s recent and controversial ‘8647’ Instagram post, which has sparked concern and debate across the law enforcement community and Trump Administration.
The first interview on this episode is a discussion with retired Secret Service Special Agent and Safe Haven Security Group consultant Bill Gage. The 12 year Special Agent breaks down how the United States government investigates threats against the President — using Comey’s ‘8647’ post as a case study. Gage walks through the role of the Protective Intelligence Division (PID), the importance of intelligence coordination, and how investigations are focused on facts, not intimidation. Furthermore, Gage supports US Secret Service Director Sean Curran’s effort to modernize the Secret Service training center which includes building a full-scale White House replica for $8M.
The second interview on this episode is a discussion with retired FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota. The two discuss former FBI Director James Comey’s “highly irresponsible” social media post that has since been deleted from his personal account. Piehota criticized Comey saying that his original claim of ignorance about the term “86” is ‘hard to believe’ considering his past professional ‘experiences and education.’ Furthermore, Piehota opines on the FBI’s potentially reduced operational budget by over $500M, as well as current FBI Director Kash Patel’s plans to relocate 1,500 FBI personnel out of the J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington, D.C.

On this episode of the podcast, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health at the Department of Health & Human Resources David Mansdoerfer discusses President Donald Trump’s new executive order to reduce drug prices by up to 80% — requiring pharmaceutical companies to match the lowest prices of ‘most-favored-nations.’ Mansdoerfer highlights that this policy was anticipated and previously aligned with the president’s first term actions. He noted that while the pharmaceutical industry may initially resist, the order could benefit by preventing price gouging in foreign markets.

On this episode of the podcast, former Texas Judge and Congressman Louie Gohmert dives into the growing politicization of the American judicial system. Gohmert pulls no punches as he critiques judges who choose to legislate from the bench and overstep their constitutional authority — pointing to a controversial New Hampshire ruling on gender identity in sports as a prime example.
The former Chief Justice on Texas’s 12th Court of Appeals reflects on the evolution of federal judges, including conservative appointees like Judges David Souter and Stephen McAuliffe, who shifted left over time and waited to retire until a Democrat president like former President Barack Obama could replace them. Gohmert also explores the lasting impact of the confirmation process on Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. From calling for judicial reform to questioning birthright citizenship and the effects of illegal immigration on elections, Gohmert delivers a hard-hitting take on the intersection of law, politics, and the Constitution.

On this episode of the podcast, international trade expert Shanker Singham who served as a former advisor to both the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US) Trade Representatives, breaks down the real impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Singham identifies three categories of tariffs: non-trade related, general revenue, and those targeting unfair trade practicies. But he doesn’t stop there, Singham explains why non-tariff barriers, such as regulatory distortions and state-owned enterprises may pose an even greater challenge to global markets.
Singham goes on to critique past trade policy for fixating on tariffs while overlooking these deeper structural issues. He makes the case that President Trump’s tariff strategy is designed to reduce global distortions and ultimately benefit, not just the US, but its trading partners across the world as well.
