Mike Baker is a former CIA covert operations officer and current CEO of Portman Square Group, a global intelligence and security firm. He’s also the host of the "President’s Daily Brief" podcast: a twice daily news report on critical events happening around the globe available on all podcast platforms.
Ross Coulthart speaks with Matthew Pines, the director of intelligence at SentinelOne and a national security fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. They explore the topic of nonhuman intelligence and dive into the mysteries surrounding it. Pines and Coulthart raise concerns about whether U.S. enemies will uncover information about unidentified aerial phenomena more quickly than U.S. officials can. They also question why government officials remain quiet on the UAP issue.

Dr. Michael Levin and Dr. Matt Segall enter the mind meld!
Dr. Michael Levin is a developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University where he’s the Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor. His groundbreaking research on bioelectricity, morphogenesis, and cognition is reshaping our understanding of how living systems self-organize and regenerate.
His work explores how cells and tissues communicate through bioelectrical signals, guiding the formation of complex structures without relying solely on genetic instructions. His work suggests that biological development is not purely mechanical but follows invisible organizational principles, akin to the Platonic Forms.
By demonstrating how bioelectrical fields encode structural information beyond genetic determinism, Levin’s research hints at an underlying realm of conscious intelligible patterns, challenging reductionist views and opening the door to a Platonic interpretation of biology.
Dr. Matthew Segall is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at California Institute of Integral Studies. He explores the intersections of metaphysics, science, and consciousness often through the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy.
Whitehead, highly influenced by Plato, rejected the static, mechanistic worldview of classical science, instead proposing that reality is composed of dynamic processes, where mind and matter are deeply intertwined.
This aligns with the work of Levin, whose research suggests that living systems follow formative principles that transcend mere genetic code—an idea resonant with Whitehead’s notion of eternal objects (akin to Platonic Forms) as guiding forces in the becoming of things.
I have published my first book. It’s called REPORTAGE: Essays on the New World Order and it is available for purchase as a paperback or eBook (and—coming soon!—as an audiobook) from ReportageBook.com. Today on the podcast I talk about the book, its origins, the 16-year journey from conception to completion, and how you can support me in this endeavour if you are so inclined.
Guest: Dr.Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus (AU), Directore of the Center for Consciousness Studies (AU), Co-Author of Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory (Orch OR).
Description:
Adam Deng, MIT PhD student and "data alchemist," joins us for this special episode of #SolutionsWatch where he interviews James about language. How can the non-literary and non-linguistically inclined learn to deal with language? How can they improve fluency and facility with language? How can they read faster, retain more, understand allegory and metaphor, and adequately interpret and summarize works of fiction? And what does all of this have to do with Ludwig Wittgenstein? Find out in this not-to-be-missed edition of #SolutionsWatch!
On episode 396, we are joined once again by the legendary Jacques Vallée to discuss his sixth and final volume of his book series, Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles. Vallée takes us through the past decade of his life, his research, and his revelations and discoveries as he continues his journey to find answers to UFO phenomena and beyond. A journey that took turns he never expected and opened his eyes to new theories, destinations, and possibilities.
American soldiers helped guard the first stealth bomber at Area 51, and years later, they're discovering many of them share the same sort of health struggles. Dave Crete, an Area 51 veteran and founder of The Invisible Enemy, speaks with NewsNation's Natasha Zouves about the health care options available for veterans suffering from the effects of their time working at the top secret base.
