Subscribe to the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JillianMichaels Mike Baker joins Jillian today — former CIA covert ops officer, global intelligence insider, CEO of Portman Square Group, and host of the hit podcast The President’s Daily Brief. First up: Jeffrey Epstein. Was Epstein an intelligence asset? If so — for who… and for what? Was he running kompromat operations, collecting political leverage, or plugged into a covert intelligence network far bigger than anyone’s admitted? We break down the latest claims, the Epstein files, and what former CIA officers really think. Then, Venezuela, where Trump’s airstrikes on narco-terrorist boats are blowing up the internet. Is Trump actually targeting drug traffickers… or is this the opening move in a high-stakes geopolitical play involving regime change, oil power, and U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere? We cover the Venezuela–Mexico cartel connection, military intel, and what mainstream media is missing. And finally: the Middle East. Will the Gaza ceasefire hold? What’s Trump negotiating behind the scenes with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel? What’s the real path to containing Iran without sparking a regional war? We dig into the latest Israel–Hamas conflict updates, the shifting alliances, and the risks nobody wants to talk about. This episode is packed with CIA-level analysis, geopolitical intelligence, and real insider context you will not hear anywhere else.
