Untamed Nation

On Joe Untamed, Joe dives into the turbulent currents of America’s political and global landscape with two powerhouse guests who bring unmatched insight to the table. First, Clare M. Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and national security expert, joins us to unpack the seismic implications of President Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. With her extensive background in counterterrorism and geopolitical analysis, Lopez will explore how this high-stakes meeting could reshape U.S. alliances with NATO and Middle Eastern partners, especially amid fears of concessions to Russia that could embolden authoritarian regimes like Iran. She’ll also tackle Trump’s controversial federal takeover of Washington, D.C.’s police, analyzing its legality and impact on local autonomy, drawing on her roles with the Center for Security Policy and Sen. Ted Cruz’s advisory team. Buckle up for a no-holds-barred look at these defining moments. Next, we welcome Casey Putsch, the innovative force behind Genius Garage and a fearless YouTube commentator known as "Casey the Car Guy." From his Ohio workshop, Putsch doesn’t just build groundbreaking vehicles like the turbine-powered Batmobile—he challenges the status quo, calling out U.S. government corruption and political elites. Casey will share his unfiltered take on Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown, the broader political climate, and the alleged “shadow government” influence he sees undermining America. As a mentor transforming students’ lives through hands-on engineering at Genius Garage, he’ll also reveal how his non-profit bridges academia and industry, empowering the next generation to think independently and innovate boldly. This episode is a collision of national security expertise and grassroots truth-telling, confronting the forces shaping our nation and world. From the risks of Trump’s foreign policy gambits to the erosion of trust in our institutions, Lopez and Putsch will offer clarity and challenge assumptions. Whether it’s the delicate balance of federal power in D.C. or the fight for authentic conservative voices, we’re cutting through the noise to deliver actionable insights. Join us for a conversation that’s as urgent as it is enlightening, equipping you to navigate today’s complex political terrain.  

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the state of America’s election systems with Mark Cook, one of the nation’s top experts in election cybersecurity and forensics. Drawing from his groundbreaking Hand Count Road Show, Mark reveals critical vulnerabilities in our voting processes and outlines practical, transparent solutions for citizens to protect the integrity of their vote. From exposing weaknesses in electronic systems to advocating for hand-counted ballots, his insights are both eye-opening and actionable, offering a clear path to strengthen the foundation of our democracy. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who cares about ensuring fair and trustworthy elections. Mark’s expertise provides viewers with the tools to engage in their communities, from understanding forensic accountability to implementing steps that restore public confidence in the electoral process. Watch, share, and take these lessons to heart to make a real difference in safeguarding America’s democratic future.

America stands at a crossroads—under siege from both foreign threats abroad and deep vulnerabilities at home. On one front, Jeff Nyquist, a relentless geopolitical analyst, pulls back the curtain on the global chessboard—where Russia, China, and North Korea quietly coordinate moves that could undermine U.S. sovereignty. With decades of research, insider testimony, and a historian’s grasp of strategy, Nyquist exposes the ideological warfare, deception campaigns, and moral weaknesses that hostile powers are exploiting right now. His message is not one of fear, but of urgent truth—because in war, the side that fails to see the battlefield clearly is the side that loses. On the home front, election cybersecurity and forensics expert Mark Cook brings the fight to our own backyard, revealing how opaque, machine-driven voting systems erode public trust in the very foundation of the Republic. Through his “Hand Count Road Show,” Cook has traveled county by county, uncovering vulnerabilities, training citizens in hand-count ballot procedures, and demonstrating how transparency can be restored with nothing more than vigilance, video cameras, and community action. He has one mission: to return elections to the people—and ensure that every future generation truly lives with freedom and liberty. Hosted by Joe Untamed, this powerful conversation brings together two warriors on different battlefields but fighting for the same cause—America’s survival. From the shadow strategies of global adversaries to the grassroots movement to secure our ballots, this episode will challenge what you think you know, and ignite a deeper understanding of the fight for our Republic. This isn’t just another discussion—it’s a call to wake up, stand up, and take part in defending the nation before it’s too late.  

Today’s episode of Joe Untamed is not for the complacent—it’s for those who believe in truth, accountability, and the courage to stand firm when the world pushes back. We’re bringing you two powerhouse voices who aren’t just talking about change—they’ve risked everything to make it happen. First up, LTC (Ret.) Dr. Pete Chambers, a decorated Green Beret, physician, and whistleblower who’s now running for Governor of Texas. From the battlefields overseas to the front lines of border security and medical freedom, Doc Pete has fought for liberty at every turn—and now, he’s taking that fight to Austin. Then, you’ll hear from Erik Holt, a former Fire Chief whose stand for election integrity cost him his job, his savings, and nearly his livelihood. When faced with clear evidence of election misconduct, he refused to look the other way—even when corrupt officials demanded he destroy it. Fired, blacklisted, and forced into a costly legal battle, Erik’s fight is about more than his own case—it’s about whether public servants in America can speak truth without losing their rights. This isn’t just another episode—it’s a rallying cry. You’ll hear stories of courage, sacrifice, and the high price of integrity in today’s America. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to stand your ground when everything is on the line, you won’t want to miss this one.

Today’s episode of Joe Untamed is a no-holds-barred deep dive into the fight for America’s soul. We’re joined by Pedro Israel Orta, a decorated CIA veteran, military patriot, and Christian minister who blew the whistle on deep corruption inside our government—and paid the price. His story is a powerful warning about what happens when those in power silence truth-tellers. We dive into President Trump’s push to fix the Census and stop illegal immigrants from skewing congressional power, exposing how sanctuary cities are gaining unfair influence. We break down the shocking ICE raid in Los Angeles, the brutal carjacking in Washington D.C. that has Trump demanding federal control, and a terrifying shooting on a U.S. military base that raises hard questions about security and leadership. We even hit the cultural frontlines, where South Park hilariously—and disturbingly—mocks the radical absurdities of both political extremes. This episode is for every American who loves their country and refuses to sit silent while the system breaks down. If you believe in faith, freedom, and the future of this Republic, you won’t want to miss it. 💥 Truth is under attack — but the American spirit is unbreakable. Watch, share, and stay untamed.

The August 6, 2025, episode of Untamed hosted by Joe Oltmann, delivers a raw, unfiltered dive into America’s political and social fault lines, featuring the Texas Democrats’ quorum-breaking flight to block a Trump-backed redistricting map, the controversial reinstallation of the Albert Pike Confederate statue in D.C., and trending stories like the Fort Stewart shooting and Trump’s 25% tariff on India.

Today on Untamed we kick off with a compelling discussion on National Preparedness Month, highlighting the urgency of readiness amid 2023's $28 billion in U.S. weather disasters, and features Andy Ngo’s insights on Antifa’s rise in England. The main guest, Mike Shelby, a former intelligence NCO and founder of Forward Observer, shares his expertise from The Area Intelligence Handbook, offering strategies for civilians to prepare for crises like urban violence and floods reported in 2025, with a focus on threat identification and asset mapping. The show also dives into political topics, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement of Mumdani’s NYC plan, Rep. Delia Ramirez’s congressional priorities, and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s crackdown on sanctuary cities, alongside breaking news on Epstein case subpoenas and declassified Durham annex revelations about the Russia hoax, making for a thought-provoking and timely broadcast.

Over the weekend, Trump confirmed that the United States would be positioning nuclear submarines off the coast of Russia following provocative statements made by former President Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev. This raises the question: Is Trump all bark and no bite, or is he truly asserting his dominance in the international sphere? Later, Clay Martin joins the show to discuss his book, The Barbarian Spirit, life as a veteran, the Trump administration’s treatment of veterans, and some unorthodox ways to treat PTSD.

The Georgia State Election Board voted to seek assistance from the DOJ to “bring any action necessary” to obtain the voting records of Fulton County from the corrupt 2020 election. Yet, Fulton County continues to refuse to turn over their results, defying a subpoena, because they know what it will reveal. Later, Morgan Lerette joins to talk about his book, Guns, Girls, Greed, which recounts his time in the Middle East as a private contractor! All this and more on today’s Untamed! Happy Friday!

Chairman Grassley calls this "one of the biggest political scandals and cover-ups in American history." He's right. The classified annex of the Durham report has been declassified, and it confirms what we all suspected. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and the intelligence community worked together to launch a smear campaign against President Trump. Today, we will be diving into what these declassified pages hold. Later, Trump and RFK have just announced a new digital health tech ecosystem, with some drawing parallels to biometric surveillance. Not everyone is happy about this, pointing toward the United States possibly being ushered into a sort of digital twin surveillance state. Finally, we'll be discussing how Jerome Powell is refusing to lower interest rates, Nancy Pelosi exploding on live television, and the tsunami that is looming in the Pacific Ocean.
