Over his time with the Bureau, Jon specialized in counterintelligence, gangs, and counterterrorism.

He finished his time in service on the Joint Terrorism Task Force. In this episode, Jon shares how he went from prosecuting domestic abuse cases, to chasing gang members and terrorists with the FBI, to building a luxury hunting business in Hawaii - with wild stories from the courtroom, the streets, and the islands.

  • From Baghdad to Bestsellers: A Conversation with Alex Berenson

    From Baghdad to Bestsellers: A Conversation with Alex Berenson
    Jul 9 2025
    This week on DANGER CLOSE, Jack Carr is joined by Alex Berenson—former New York Times reporter, bestselling thriller author, and investigative journalist. Alex began his career as a journalist after graduating from Yale with degrees in history and economics, joining The Denver Post and later becoming one of the first reporters at TheStreet.com. He spent more than a decade at The New York Times, where he covered everything from Big Pharma to Hurricane Katrina—including two assignments reporting from Iraq. Those experiences inspired his debut spy novel, THE FAITHFUL SPY, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. Alex went on to write twelve bestselling novels in the John Wells series—gritty, high-stakes thrillers centered on a rogue CIA operative who infiltrates al Qaeda and operates in the shadows of global terrorism – and a standalone thriller titled THE POWER COUPLE. Berenson eventually stepped away from the series, pivoting back to journalism and nonfiction with TELL YOUR CHILDREN and PANDEMIA. In this episode, Alex discusses the personal and professional journey that shaped his fiction, his thoughts on the thriller genre today, and what he’s working on next.

  • Surrender Not An Option

    Surrender Not An Option
    Jul 2 2025
    This week on DANGER CLOSE, Jack Carr is joined by Eugene H. Pugh, a Vietnam veteran and former member of MACV-SOG’s elite Recon Team Asp. Born in Colón, Panama, Gene began his military journey in 1966, volunteering for Special Forces and serving as a communications sergeant, assistant medic, and intelligence specialist. In 1968, he deployed to Vietnam with the 5th Special Forces Group and was assigned to the highly classified MACV-SOG. His recon team, RT-ASP, was uniquely comprised of former North Vietnamese soldiers—an extraordinary advantage in conducting prisoner snatches, wiretaps, and deep reconnaissance behind enemy lines. Following Vietnam, Gene taught school in Washington, D.C., became a pilot, and later worked as a private investigator in Texas. Now retired, he is an author, screenwriter, and co-founder of both Impact Studios and Veterans Mortgage of America. His novels include SURRENDER NOT AN OPTION and THE DIPLOMAT.

I wish more people could speak about their faith in such a forceful and unashamed way as your guest, Dom, does. I include myself in the list of those needing more confident presentation. In addition to that this was a very interesting podcast. I checked this morning to see if you had dropped part two yet. Keep up the great guest and great conversations.
