Advertise on podcast: A View from the Bunker

It's rare to find a book on the UFO phenomenon that sheds new light on a subject that has been examined by researchers, scientists, and Hollywood since 1947.  Author Will Blesch (williamblesch.com) joined us to discuss his new book, In the Shadow of Goliath, the interconnectedness of angels, Nephilim, UFOs, and biblical prophecy, shedding light on hidden histories and biblical perspectives that challenge mainstream narratives.  Click here to buy In the Shadow of Goliath at Amazon: https://bit.ly/4gLaxvz Click here for a special offer on In the Shadow of Goliath at the SkyWatchTV store https://bit.ly/45XVXM5 Also: A health update and the reason for putting A View from the Bunker on hiatus.

Ever feel like your supernatural experiences make you question your sanity? You're not alone.   Many who’ve encountered the unexplained often keep quiet, fearing judgment or disbelief. But it’s crucial to share these experiences. Sharing your story can be healing for you and a beacon for others who feel isolated in their experiences.   Bryan Sawyer (bigfootsofmichigan.com) is a professional actor who fell into the world of cryptid investigation. He explains how his experience in front of the camera has translated into real world Bigfoot investigations, his encounters with Sasquatch in Michigan, and how we integrate the existence of giant hominids and other cryptids, like dogmen, into a Christian worldview.  Follow Bryant's podcast, Bigfoot of America, here: youtube.com/@BigfootofAmerica

This is an important discussion. Please take the time to watch or listen.  Greg's most recent books: The Real “Satanic Panic” Story Nobody's Angel

Who would have thought Steven Spielberg could make a boring movie about aliens?  Spielberg's first major film in 10 years, Disclosure Day, was released Friday to mixed reviews. I haven't seen the film, but based on the reviews of those who have my sense is that the movie is about an hour too long and 30 years out of date.  For example, the movie is described as a long chase scene in which the two protagonists are trying to reach a television studio to share proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Pardon me, but who actually believes the mainstream media anymore? Spielberg may be showing his age, but pretty much everyone under the age of 75 knows that anyone with the laptop and Wi-Fi could get the same information out to the entire world, faster, easier, and with a better chance of being believed than by racing a team of trained security professionals to a broadcast news studio. This movie would have been received a lot better during the height of the popularity of The X-Files.  Meanwhile, aliens of a different type have the United Kingdom rising up in protest after several incidents where new arrivals to the UK took bladed weapons to people of European ancestry. Citizens of the UK want elected officials who have foisted unrestricted immigration on their constituents, held accountable for streets that are increasingly unsafe and budgets that are increasingly unbalanced because of the imported diversity.  Also: 100 days of war with Iran.

The world is being prepped for the disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The church needs to be ready with answers. This coming Friday, the new Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, will be released, and it's almost certain to be a blockbuster. The message of the film, according to Spielberg, is disclosure is imminent. He wants to convince audiences that ET is real, and to challenge people of religious faith to think hard about what that means for their world view.  Guy Malone (alienresistance.org) and Joe Jordan (ce4research.com) are offering a free event Thursday, July 2, 2026 from 3 PM to 8 PM Central Time as part of the annual UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico (details here: christiansymposium.live). You can attend in person or participate in the live stream at youtube.com/@gilberthouse.  Guy and Joe explain their reasons for organizing this symposium, the impact they think Steven Spielberg will have on this discussion, and why this phenomenon is spiritual rather than scientific.  Links: • The documentary Deception: https://youtu.be/h9NEv7Cfilk • Piercing the Cosmic Veil by Joe Jordan and Jason Dezember: https://amzn.to/49H38e2 • The Red Flags of Ufology by Joe Jordan and Guy Malone: https://amzn.to/43neyzX • UAP: End Time Delusion by Joe Jordan: https://amzn.to/3RPBdCw • UFO Cults and the New Millennium by William Alnor: https://bit.ly/3RX7kA8 • Destination: Earth by Derek P.

THE OLD GODS are asserting themselves, and their followers are trying to fulfill the demands of their patron deities.  Surprisingly, you wouldn't recognize a pagan if you bumped into one at the local dollar store. They are your friends, coworkers, and even family members. There is nothing to mark them as a practitioner of Wicca, worshiper of Odin, or ceremonial magician.  Carl Teichrib, author of the highly recommended Game of Gods, has spent decades, attending meetings, and gatherings of the followers of the left hand path. He tells us that not only are these people respected members of our community, a surprisingly large number of them were formally deeply involved in Christian churches—which they left because they had questions and needs that went unanswered.

Since October 7, 2023, an element of Christianity has emerged and is growing that holds Israel, and Jews generally, responsible for much of the evil in this world. At the heart of this is a growing belief that Zionism is something to be opposed, if not outright evil. But what if God is a Zionist (see, for example, Psalm 132:13–14)? Christopher Kuehl (PresentWitness.org), author of the new book Is God a Zionist? joins us to discuss the complex topics surrounding Israel, Zionism, biblical prophecy, and the influence of various political and spiritual forces. We explore the historical, theological, and geopolitical aspects of Israel's role in God's plan and current global affairs—and how modern politics and conspiracy theories influence perceptions of Israel.

The church needs to figure out what to do about Israel. Since the second century, a wedge has been driven between Christians and Jews. Sadly, Christians have often been guilty of pouring gasoline on this long–smoldering fire. It happened again soon after the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Our guest, Ran Silberman, is a messianic Jew and a professional tour guide in Israel. He can speak to the subject of Jew hatred in the church from a unique perspective—not only is he a Christian living in Israel, but he is also a Jew. He explains that the church has a long, shameful history of demonizing Jews, one that must be confronted in this hour. Ran will be in the United States during the month of June to speak to groups and churches about this topic. If you are in the Mid South, the Ozarks, Oklahoma, or North Texas, you can contact us by email at [email protected] or by reaching out to Ran through at facebook.com/ran.silberman.

Demons are real. They hate you and everyone you love.  Most churches in America would have a problem accepting those statements. That's because the church in America has become so de-supernaturalized we don't recognize manifest evil when it's standing right in front of us. But these spiritual battles we dismiss are affecting our lives more than we know.  Tag someone who needs to hear this.  Our guest, Kori Serrano, reveals how trauma can create invisible wounds that attract demonic forces. She shares insights on how these experiences shape our subconscious, leading to coping mechanisms that keep us from fully embracing faith.  What’s vital is the need for healing and understanding. Many don’t even realize they’re dealing with these issues because they aren’t taught in church.   Contact Kori and her team at [email protected] (encrypted) or [email protected].

Did the giants of the ancient world confine themselves to the lands of the Bible or did some of them make their way to North America?  Nicholas Daigle, author of Genesis 6 and the Ozarks, joins us to discuss his search for the Nephilim in the heartland of America — and the startling evidence of giant bones here in our backyard.

In this short excerpt from last Sunday's program, LTC Robert Maginnis, author of 'The New AI Cold War,' warns about the proliferation of AI agents and the threat of robots powered by an inhuman superintelligence deciding that we humans are a problem to be solved – with extreme prejudice.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is changing your life faster than you know. In this in-depth interview, Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis (US Army, Ret.), author of the forthcoming book The New AI Cold War, discusses the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, its implications for national security, personal relationships, and spiritual life, and the eschatological concerns surrounding AI's future.

Imagine volunteering at an event approved by the government, and a year later you're arrested, charged with sedition, convicted, and sentenced to 18 years in prison.  That's what happened to Stewart Rhodes (OathKeepers.info), the founder of Oath Keepers. His sentence was commuted after three years by President Trump last January, but the conviction remains on his record. This means that as a disabled veteran, he is denied the disability benefits he should be receiving comma, nor will he be allowed to be buried in a veterans cemetery when he is called home.  In addition, he is not allowed to vote in his home state of Texas, a better pill to swallow for a man who describes himself as a Ron Paul constitutionalist.  Stewart describes the treatment he received at the hands of the Department of justice for his presence at government approved demonstrations in Washington DC on January 6, 2021. And, as you probably know, Stewart was not the only one tracked down, arrested, charged, and imprisoned for the audacity of protesting against the deep state.  He tells us how he survived more than a year in solitary confinement, how he plans to rebuild Oath Keepers, and his mission to train other veterans to organize and strengthen their local communities.  Stewart is one of the featured speakers at the stay awake America event in Port St. Lucie, Florida this coming Friday and Saturday, March 20 and 21st, 2026. Information and registration for the event is available at stayawakeamerica.com.  Follow Stewart Rhodes:  • X: @realoathkeepers • Online: OathKeepers.info You can support Oath Keepers givesendgo.com/oath.

IMAGINE YOU’RE a teenage boy kidnapped by a foreign army and dragged from your home to a land far far away, placed in a school to indoctrinate you in the ways of your pagan, polytheist captors, trying to survive while remaining faithful to the One True God. That's the beginning of the story of the prophet Daniel, and that is the focus of the new novel by this week's guest and regular contributor to our monthly Iron and Myth series, Brian Godawa (godawa.com). Brian, an award-winning screenwriter and best selling novelist, applies his gift of storytelling to the one of the most compelling characters of the Bible. Daniel saw the progression of the neo-Babylonian kingdom from the time of Nebuchadnezzar until it fell to the Persian king Cyrus the Great. Daniel: Exile in Babylon is the first of a trilogy that tells the story of Daniel, his life, and the warfare in the unseen realm between God's loyal angels and the fallen rebels who compete with one another for power, even as they strive against their creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
