Empire of the Machine : Caravan to Midnight – Ep. 2650

December 3, 2025
Episode Description:
Empire of the Machine — Lt. Col. Robert L. Maginnis, U.S. Army (Ret.)
Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool. It is becoming an empire — one rising inside the Pentagon, across global war rooms, and throughout the infrastructures that govern modern life — land, sea, and sky. Tonight, Lt. Col. Robert L. Maginnis (U.S. Army, Ret.) joins John B. Wells to expose how AI is reshaping national defense, rewriting battlefield strategy, and advancing a system of control foretold long before the first computer chip existed.
From the truth behind the Hegseth boat-strike controversy to the hidden AI arms race between the U.S., China, and Russia, Maginnis pulls back the curtain on the machinery driving the next era of conflict — and the spiritual deception rising behind it.
A penetrating look at the empire forming beyond human oversight… and the future we are already stepping into.
