This book is a compilation of parts of the Pentagon Papers, a 7,000-page secret history of the Vietnam War compiled by the Defense Department. It includes articles published by the New York Times and supporting documents, providing insight into the conversations and decision-making processes within the White House and the Pentagon from 1950 to 1968. The papers expose the government's lies to the American public about the war and highlight the faulty assumptions and hunches that guided U.S. policy. The book offers a detailed look at the Johnson administration's handling of the war and the broader context of the Cold War and U.S. foreign policy[4][5].

Kevin Maurer
Matt Bissonnette (Mark Owen)
The book chronicles the author's upbringing in Alaska, his entry into the Navy SEALs, and his involvement in several operations, including the raid that targeted Osama bin Laden. It details the rigors of SEAL training, the camaraderie and professionalism of his teammates, and the events leading up to and during the bin Laden mission. The book also generated controversy due to its release without prior review by the U.S. Department of Defense, which claimed it contained classified information.
Alexander Hamilton
Ron Chernow
Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton is a landmark work that provides a detailed and vivid account of Hamilton's life. It recounts his rise from an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean to becoming a key figure in American history. Hamilton served as George Washington’s aide-de-camp, coauthored The Federalist Papers, founded the Bank of New York, led the Federalist Party, and became the first Treasury Secretary of the United States. Chernow's work challenges traditional views of Hamilton, portraying him as a complex figure driven by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build American prosperity and power. The biography also explores his personal life, including his relationships, feuds, and his famous duel with Aaron Burr. It is not just a portrait of Hamilton but also a narrative of America’s birth seen through his central role in it.
In this special episode, we give you an update on the continued fight for free speech from the attorney working the case—Tim Parlatore. Parlatore explains how the events with our Dallas Alexander episode are unfolding and how the Canadian government is trying, but failing to censor a free American podcast.
We'll also explore how woke culture and foreign influence are weakening our institutions, from the military all the way to congress. Shawn & Parlatore discuss how we got here, but more importantly - how we turn the tide.
