  Netanyahu Was Warned 10 Days Before October 7. He Told No One.

  Sep 11, 20261h 18m

  Haaretz reports that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed called Netanyahu ten days before October 7 and spent 45 minutes warning him that Hamas was planning a major attack. Egypt's spy chief reportedly warned him too. Netanyahu never briefed the head of the Shin Bet or the head of the IDF. This week he's suing the newspaper. Matt and CJ walk through the warning, the money Netanyahu kept flowing to Hamas for years, and the Iran war that both he and Trump now need to break their way before their elections. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 04:08 The Haaretz report: Netanyahu warned 10 days before October 7 09:35 Why the UAE and Egypt warnings should have landed 12:43 Pearl Harbor and Coventry: when leaders let attacks happen 20:27 Netanyahu funded Hamas to block a Palestinian state 24:49 The slow response on October 7 and the Hannibal Directive 38:39 Dave Smith vs. Alan Dershowitz and the "anti-Semite" card 55:04 Netanyahu's election and the risk of a false flag 1:03:03 Trump can't walk away: oil over $100, approval at 33% 1:06:04 The USS Lincoln, military morale, and the mutiny question Brave The New World is a weekly show that analyzes current events through a liberty-first lens and connects today's news to the historical patterns behind it.

  Lindsay Clancy Killed Her Kids. Why Is a Crowd in Pink Cheering for Her?

  Sep 5, 20261h 7m

  Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children in their Duxbury home and admits it. After seven weeks of trial, eleven jurors wanted a hospital, one said guilty, and Judge Sullivan declared a mistrial. Outside the courthouse, hundreds of supporters showed up in pink with shirts reading Believe, She Needed Help, and Peace for Lindsay. Influencers bragged about a million views. Protesters blamed the drug companies, the doctors, and her husband. CJ and Matt start with the question the state can't answer: if justice isn't served, what moral right does her family have, and what would restitution even look like? From there it goes where it has to go: a culture that lionizes a child killer, 1.1 million abortions a year, sitcom dads and found families, and the long history of governments breaking the family, the church, and the lodge so that nothing stands between you and the state. Then, the next play in that game: pay off your debt if you'll go fight in the Middle East. Timestamps 00:00 Where the Clancy case stands after the mistrial 03:00 The question: what right does her family have against her? 04:05 Natural law, eye for an eye, and responsibility when the facts aren't in dispute 09:18 Restitution, deterrence, and the death penalty under the non-aggression principle 14:34 The dark side of decentralized media: influencers and the trial 17:15 The feminist narrative and denial of responsibility 24:48 Abortion culture: from reluctant to celebrated 26:56 The pink rally: Believe, She Needed Help, Peace for Lindsay 30:54 1.1 million abortions a year.

  If 100 Million Illegals Are Here, What Are You Willing to Do About It?

  Aug 28, 20261h 12m

  Greg Bovino went on Tucker Carlson and claimed 107 million illegal aliens are living in the United States. That's roughly one in four people in the country. Nobody pushed back. Matt and CJ take the claim seriously enough to test it: where could a number like that come from, why would the man selling it want it high, and here's the harder question—if you believed it, what would you be willing to do about it? Two immigration hawks work through where enforcement crosses the line, what the last great immigration wave actually took to absorb, why the ancient Greeks guarded citizenship the way they did, and the version of enforcement that removes the incentives instead of sending masked agents into your neighborhood.

  How's the War Going? Trump Hid in a Food Cart and Let His Staff Fly the Decoy

  Aug 21, 20261 hour

  Axios and CNN say the US is sneaking 15 to 20 tankers a night through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude hit $93 the same day. Both things can't be true, and the price is the one that doesn't lie. Matt and CJ work through the Hormuz numbers, why a ship count is the wrong metric, and how Trump is using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to hold down the futures price while the salt caverns storing it approach the level where they stop being structurally sound. China has been draining its own reserve to keep global prices from going higher, and Trump responded by threatening sanctions on anyone who trades with Iran. Beijing's answer was a meme. Then the story that should have been a scandal: on July 8, Israeli intelligence told Trump that Iran planned to shoot down Air Force One. The CIA assessed the threat as low credibility. Trump believed Israel, hid in a food service cart, and boarded a nondescript military transport with a handful of aides, including 35-year-old advisor Natalie Harp. Marco Rubio and the rest of the staff flew home on Air Force One without being told. Five weeks later, Karoline Leavitt resigned to spend more time with her family. CJ opens with the Athenian expedition to Sicily, the subject of his new Dangerous History Podcast series, and why the pro-war speeches of 415 BC sound like Dick Cheney in 2003. 00:00 CJ's "Mad Dream of Conquest" and the Athenian neocons 04:10 "Greeted as liberators," 2,400 years running 09:07 The Axios tanker claim vs. the Brent crude chart 11:08 Why ship count is the wrong metric: draft, size, and the Oman route 15:07 Iran can touch any ship in the strait. The US can't stop it. 17:37 Trump threatens China; China has been propping up the oil market 19:20 The Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the salt cavern problem 23:24 Artificial prices, broken rationing, and the winter heating season 27:34 Energy shocks and global instability 33:05 There was never an upside: $200B, 16 dead, $40 trillion in debt 35:39 Why Trump won't declare a fake victory and leave 40:09 July 8: the Air Force One "threat" and the food cart escape 45:30 Karoline Leavitt resigns five weeks later 47:24 Natalie Harp and the cult psychology around Trump 57:49 Root yourself in reality BTNW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuSWVH4XXhPkDgQSpzOTog BTNW Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brave-the-new-world/id1873380752 BTNW Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2NWeaPtUecF4m7GS7OClUo Matt Carano X: https://x.com/matthewcarano CJ Killmer X: https://x.com/KillmerCj Dangerous History Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/profcj

  Is There a Political Solution Left, or Does the Empire End the Hard Way?

  Aug 8, 20261h 20m

  Forty trillion in debt. A $1.5 trillion budget request for a military that can't win a war. Fauci pleading the Fifth over a hundred times while holding a pardon that covers eleven years. CJ Killmer and I started with a simple question and spent an hour finding out how bad the answer is: is there still a political solution to any of this? CJ's answer, as a historian: in theory yes, in practice under fifty percent. You would need people in power willing to say the unipolar moment ended a decade ago, willing to wind the empire down on purpose, and able to survive the deep state long enough to do it. We get into why that's so unlikely. CJ walks through the idea that a civilization wears a groove into the record in its first few generations and the needle just follows it from there, from manifest destiny to Hawaii to the Philippines to leaders talking about space as a "new frontier." We look at what actually happened when Britain unwound the largest empire before ours, what the Soviets did right in Afghanistan that we did wrong, and why no empire in history has collapsed while holding the world's reserve currency. Then the part I keep coming back to. There is no political solution without justice for elites, and we don't have any. Epstein is dead and Maxwell is in prison, and nobody else connected to any of it has faced a consequence. Hunter Biden is doing podcast interviews. Lindsey Graham's worst case is board seats and Fox contributor money. Fauci got a preemptive pardon covering 2014 through 2025 and then pleaded the Fifth anyway. CJ makes the case that Athens had something we deliberately left out of modern democracy: real oversight, real prosecutions, and ostracism. If the political road is closed, that leaves technology or blood. I make the case for the first. CJ lays out what the second one looks like, and it isn't armies marching at each other.
