How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Pretty often, if you asked me. The Roman Empire has become the metric for comparisons of other empires throughout history. Most recently, the British Empire and the United States of America. This week we sit with "The Cognitive Marine" to discuss the parallels. "The Cognitive Marine", as he goes by, is a Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel with more than 20 years of active military service. Rome is his passion and so too is the United States. Naturally, the comparisons between Rome and the United States are many. Both Rome and the United States were founded by dispossessed peoples of a different empire, they both threw off the yoke of tyrannical kings to form republics, and both have seen the assassinations of populist leaders seeking to rectify issues stemming from social and economic disorder. The American Founding Fathers even reference the Roman Republic many times in the founding of their own Republic. This is a very short list of comparisons, with much more, and some eerily similar. Will the United States go the way of Rome? Or can it fix itself to prevent it's own demise?ICWF Podcast is sponsored by "Red Clover Coffee", a veteran owned, small batch roasted coffee company.

They have one of the most strenuous, physical, and mentally exhausting pipelines in all of Special Warfare.

Do our eyes deceive us? According to our guest, yes they do--and its by design. Why do some, seemingly thriving species, suddenly go extinct while others do not? Are we living within the walls of an intelligently designed simulation? Or are we living in a "reality" of our own mind's creation? And what does that mean for man's search for meaning and the significance we put in our own mortality?Dr. Donald D. Hoffman is a cognitive psychologist and popular science author. He is a professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science. Dr. Hoffman is the author of "The Case Against Reality", which argues that our human perceptions have evolved to hide objective reality from us. This episode is one of our deepest yet! Dr. Hoffman is a truly remarkable human being on the cutting edge of his field. In this episode, Brandon flies solo with Zach stranded at an airport somewhere in the Great State of Texas. This conversation with Dr. Hoffman was absolutely mind-blowing! Aside from this episode, you can find Dr. Hoffman on other podcasts like Lex Fridman and Tom Bilyeu or via his now famous TED Talk! You can also find him on Twitter and find links to his works on his website.ICWF Podcast is sponsored by "Red Clover Coffee", a veteran owned, small batch roasted coffee company.

On this episode Brandon & Zach talk with Christopher Messina, someone who truly embodies what it means to be a "Renaissance Man". On top of hosting his own Podcast, "The Messy Times Show", Christopher sits on the Board of Directors for the US Air Force Combat Control Foundation, and is the CEO of "Tanbreez": the world's largest rare earth mineral mine. Probably one of the most interesting tidbits about owning the world's largest Rare Earth Mineral mine (aside from all the rare earth minerals), is that Tanbreez is located in Greenland and it is for that reason that President Donald Trump made an offer to purchase the country of Greenland just to have the mineral deposits! In this episode the guys discuss why rare earth minerals are so vital to United States trade, foreign policy, and supply chain. Furthermore, what it really means for the global stage to reap these minerals and for what benefit. As the world leans more and more into advanced technology, rare earth minerals will vastly become of more strategic import. Harvesting, using, and cornering the market on them will command more than serious control for the United States. It means should the Chinese flood the market on these minerals to reduce their value, the United States would remain largely unaffected and can outpace the Chinese nearly 800 to 1. Now, all the United States needs to do is act. Join us for a fantastic episode as we discuss this, Christopher's unique and heartbreaking experience of walking away from the September 11, 2001 tragedy, and how he's managed to walk away from four other terrorist bombings!

Currently, a massive power struggle is going on between the United States and China. For many decades, the relationship between the Chinese and United States has been strained, with the US hoping that cooperation and free markets would create an American and Chinese partnership rooted in mutual benefit. However, this was not the case nor the plan of what would eventually be known as the Chinese Communist Party, or "CCP". Over the past 20+ years, the United States has been bogged down and focused on war in the Middle East. It's longest war, ever. The Chinese have diligently used that time to commit espionage, theft, and undermine the US as the global hegemon. This has now become very apparent with Chinese technological advances, a military growing at an alarming rate, and it's attempt to begin replacing the US dollar as the worlds global currency. On the surface, this may seem frightening and with genuine reason. However, is China truly the rising superpower it claims to be and the global media portrays it as? We talk with David Zhang from "China Insider" to discuss the reality, disabuse misinformation, highlight terrible Chinese human rights violations, organ harvesting, CCP rise to power and corruption, its crumbling economy, failure to respect, feed, and care for its citizens, and its global initiatives to destabilize the West. David is a journalist, former writer for The Epoch Times, and focuses heavily on spreading truth about the CCP ands abuses. China and the United States will be a topic the world discusses at length for the foreseeable future. With a new Cold War heating up and China's authoritarian plan to become the sole global superpower by 2049, seeking accurate information and truth are more vital than ever. Don't miss this crucial episode. We learned so much and we know you will too. "I Came With Fire Podcast" is sponsored by Red Clover Coffee.
