In this absolutely unmissable episode of The Dangerous Ones, Jim Drastic, Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen sit down with the one and only Malcolm Nance—former Navy senior chief, intelligence expert, MSNBC analyst, bestselling author, and real-life warfighter who joined Ukraine’s Foreign Legion in 2022. With ten double espressos fueling him and decades of frontline knowledge, Nance unleashes a blistering, no-BS briefing on the global threats we’re facing—from Trump’s dark alliances to rising authoritarianism and the crumbling of democratic norms. If you’ve ever wondered how close we are to the edge, this conversation will blow your hair back.
We dive deep into Trump’s economic “Pearl Harbor,” insider trading scandals, and the terrifying ideology known as the "Dark Enlightenment," fueled by tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Nance connects the dots between Trump's destabilizing tariffs, a possible war with Iran, the quiet annexation ambitions in Greenland and Canada, and why even El Salvador is being eyed as a site for American-built “counter-terrorism centers” that echo the darkest chapters of 20th-century history. Along the way, we break down what the NSA really does, how crypto and AI are being weaponized, and what happens when dictators and Silicon Valley bros start writing each other's scripts.
From Russia and Ukraine to China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Nance offers an uncensored, deeply informed look at a world on fire—and the man holding the match. It’s harrowing, it’s hilarious, and it’s a damn rallying cry. He ends with a bold call to action: June 14th. Show up. Stand up. Spoil the dictator’s parade. This episode isn’t just a podcast—it’s a warning shot.
