Summary
On Joe Untamed, Joe dives into the turbulent currents of America’s political and global landscape with two powerhouse guests who bring unmatched insight to the table. First, Clare M. Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and national security expert, joins us to unpack the seismic implications of President Trump’s summit with Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. With her extensive background in counterterrorism and geopolitical analysis, Lopez will explore how this high-stakes meeting could reshape U.S. alliances with NATO and Middle Eastern partners, especially amid fears of concessions to Russia that could embolden authoritarian regimes like Iran. She’ll also tackle Trump’s controversial federal takeover of Washington, D.C.’s police, analyzing its legality and impact on local autonomy, drawing on her roles with the Center for Security Policy and Sen. Ted Cruz’s advisory team. Buckle up for a no-holds-barred look at these defining moments.
Next, we welcome Casey Putsch, the innovative force behind Genius Garage and a fearless YouTube commentator known as "Casey the Car Guy." From his Ohio workshop, Putsch doesn’t just build groundbreaking vehicles like the turbine-powered Batmobile—he challenges the status quo, calling out U.S. government corruption and political elites. Casey will share his unfiltered take on Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown, the broader political climate, and the alleged “shadow government” influence he sees undermining America. As a mentor transforming students’ lives through hands-on engineering at Genius Garage, he’ll also reveal how his non-profit bridges academia and industry, empowering the next generation to think independently and innovate boldly.
This episode is a collision of national security expertise and grassroots truth-telling, confronting the forces shaping our nation and world. From the risks of Trump’s foreign policy gambits to the erosion of trust in our institutions, Lopez and Putsch will offer clarity and challenge assumptions. Whether it’s the delicate balance of federal power in D.C. or the fight for authentic conservative voices, we’re cutting through the noise to deliver actionable insights. Join us for a conversation that’s as urgent as it is enlightening, equipping you to navigate today’s complex political terrain.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, so welcome back. Today is going to be a pretty explosive show for quite a few reasons. |
| 0:06.0 | And I'll start by saying this. We have two guests today. And I'm going to run the entire two hours. |
| 0:11.4 | And we're going to start up by talking about some things. But before we do that, I want to talk about our guests. |
| 0:17.6 | The first of which is Claire Lopez. She's a former CIA operative. I feel like I'm just, |
| 0:23.4 | I'm just like filling myself up with CIA operatives. But I think this one will be a really good one. |
| 0:28.7 | She, um, is a national security expert. She joined us to kind of talk about what's going to happen |
| 0:33.4 | between President Trump and Putin and how this could reshape, you know, our alliances with |
| 0:38.5 | NATO and the Middle Eastern partners. And this is especially, you know, there's some fears out |
| 0:48.8 | there. Some of them, I think, maybe are real, maybe some of them that aren't. But their fears are that concessions to Russia |
| 0:57.2 | could cause us some problems. I'm of the opinion that Russia is not our enemy. Everyone says, |
| 1:03.3 | oh, you're pro-Russian, you're anti-American. It doesn't make me anti-American to have more knowledge |
| 1:08.9 | than most people about what happens in that region. And what I mean by that is not that, you know, Russia is going to do everything right. |
| 1:15.4 | Just like the United States doesn't do anything right, you have bad people in different organizations, |
| 1:19.6 | different countries. And so we're going to look at that from a more academic perspective |
| 1:26.6 | and look at Russia historically and say, Russia's our enemy I know we had |
| 1:31.3 | someone on we had Jeff Nyquist on and he talked about the fact that Russia is this false |
| 1:36.5 | positive for the collapse and it really didn't collapse that that's highly unlikely |
| 1:42.8 | it's highly unlikely especially since if you look at how russia came out of |
| 1:47.9 | of the uh collapse of the soviet union um it's it's very unlikely so after that we're going to have |
| 1:56.0 | kisi uh i think it's potst pos, posh, posh. |
