ABOUT ANDREA WIDBURG…
Andrea Widburg is the Managing Editor of American Thinker and has been with that site since 2020. She is a former Democrat who was raised in San Francisco and received a BA from UC Berkeley. After receiving a JD from the University of Texas at Austin, she worked as a lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area for 30 years and raised two children.

ABOUT DANIEL P. BUTTAFUOCO…

His courtroom skill has earned him multiple Best Lawyer honors, and he has been named a Super Lawyer—a designation awarded to the top 5% of attorneys nationwide.
Buttafuoco’s legal success is matched by his passion for biblical scholarship. He holds a Master’s in Theology, and he founded the Historical Bible Society with a mission to preserve and study ancient biblical texts. His courtroom precision informs his approach to Christian apologetics: he treats historical and scriptural evidence with the same rigor he applied to legal cases.
As an author, his books—including Consider the Evidence: A Trial Lawyer Examines Eyewitness Testimony in Defense of the Reliability of the New Testament and Unapologetic: Clear Answers to Tough Bible Questions—draw on his legal instincts to present reasoned, accessible defenses for the Christian faith. Through public speaking, radio appearances, and traveling exhibits of ancient manuscripts, Buttafuoco empowers believers and skeptics alike to explore faith through the lens of evidence and truth.

His particular knowledge of the links between Epstein, Trump, Russian Collusion, and Tulsi Gabbard’s Report, combined with his firsthand knowledge of UK-US relations, Iran, and Israel, make him an exceptional podcast guest.
ABOUT DR. JOHN BRADY…
Dr. John Brady is a forensic psychologist who for 25 years has spent hours analyzing why individuals commit heinous crimes, providing testimony in numerous criminal cases, and writing six books taken directly from his professional clinical work and court records.
Having worked with some of the nation’s top defense attorneys, prosecutors, private investigators, judges and even perpetrators themselves, Dr. Brady holds that powerbrokers in some of the most prosperous communities often work to hide the evil lurking within some of the biggest work hubs, endangering the public by withholding information.
Dr. Brady, who has written about why wealthy women shoplift to why individuals commit horrific mass-murders, can explain the step-by-step journey taken in the perpetrators’ unconscious journey into darkness.
“It is possible to learn to identify the hidden reasons for crime,” said Dr. Brady, “to understand what leads an individual to the breaking point.”
Whether such behaviors can be attributed to depression, to over-medication with anti-psychotic drugs, or to disorders such as dissociative identity disorder, Dr. Brady can discuss why the criminal is often caught in their own trap.
