About this episode

Javier Mackey, a retired Green Beret, discusses various topics including fatherhood and the implications of online discourse with host Eric Bandazewski.

Javier Mackey is a retired US Army Green Beret. He is a long time friend of mine and that's exactly how our conversation unfolds; like two normal, American dudes talking about life, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, being a father, AI bot farms fomenting anger online, the good that's come forth from the Charlie Kirk murder, as well as the bad and what comes next. Grab a glass!
