Half Percent Podcast: Brigadier General Don Bolduc: From a Farm in New Hampshire to Special Ops in Afghanistan and Africa (#25)
Retired Brigadier General Don Bolduc joins the podcast for a fascinating, candid, no-nonsense discussion of an Army career that spanned almost four decades. Bolduc's incredible career began in the enlisted ranks and ended as Commander of Special Operations US-Africa Command. In between, Bolduc earned a degree and became an officer, then a Ranger and eventually on to Q Course and Special Operations. Bolduc spent time at the staff level in the Pentagon and JSOC, and deployed throughout the world, including multiple combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bolduc was among the first US forces in the initial invasion of Afghanistan, shortly after 9/11, and linked up with then-Afghan President Hamid Karzai to help form a government and combat the Taliban and al-Qaeda. During his time in charge of US Special Operations in Africa, Bolduc instituted a program to formally provide a path to treatment for the mental, physical, and spiritual health of soldiers in his command, and has been open about his own struggles with PTSD. Bolduc now teaches at New England College, ran in the Republican primary for US Senate from New Hampshire in 2020, and plans to run again in 2022.

The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg: Making It Up in Volume (#286)
Jonah flies solo once more in a podcast filled with the hottest of takes: Biden's foot-breaking story is not only totally true - it's also just kind of lame, weed saved George H.W. Bush's life, and, most controversially of all, The Walking Dead still has some redeeming qualities. He also discusses why you should take John Bolton's advice in The Dispatch seriously, and "Eurosclerosis," the fanciest word of the day.   Show Notes: -This week's G-File -The origins of Biden-Foot-Trutherism -The week's first Dispatch Podcast -The Remnant with Jonathan Adler -BREAKING: George H.W. Bush owes his life to hemp! Big If True! -If you want... just ... a font of wisdom in response to Jonah's "I-told-you-so" moment, look no further than his Facebook page -This week's Remnant with Virginia Postrel; that's the good nerd stuff, right there -John Bolton's piece for The Dispatch on the future of conservatism -Jonah: "Too many Republicans just use conservatism as a tool" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Dispatch Podcast: Politics Is a Complicated Profession (#75)
After Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling asked GOP lawmakers to tone down the unsubstantiated claims of vote fraud in his state earlier this week, the Trump campaign shared a 90-second video on Twitter alleging another Georgia related election conspiracy theory. "Video footage from Georgia shows suitcases filled with ballots pulled from under a table AFTER supervisors told poll workers to leave room and 4 people stayed behind to keep counting votes," the tweet said. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP figures have since demanded a signature audit of the presidential election in the Peach State.   Where do we go from here? Sterling joined Sarah and Steve on today's episode to debunk election conspiracy theories about his state and offer a pathway forward for the GOP. "To me, this is the playbook that was run by Stacey Abrams in 2018 in Georgia," Sterling tells Steve and Sarah of the Trump campaign's claim that the election was rigged. Show Notes: -90 second clip of Georgia election conspiracy theory shared by the campaign on Thursday and Lin Wood's rally on Wednesday excoriating Gabriel Sterling.

Three Martini Lunch: Supremes Side with Freedom, Absurd COVID Restrictions, Biden & Kamala
Sponsored by Stamps.com Join Jim and Greg for a very lively Friday podcast! First, they cheer the Supreme Court for telling the 9th Circuit to reconsider a case where churches face tighter restrictions than non-religious gatherings. They also hammer Los Angeles and California as their COVID restrictions even forbid "unnecessary walking" and effectively make people prisoners in their own homes. And they react to Joe Biden's confusing comments about what would happen if he and Kamala Harris ever have a major disagreement over principle.

Political Economy with James Pethokoukis: Jim Tankersley: The riches of this land
Should Americans look back nostalgically on the economy of the 1950s and 1960s? If so, what lessons should policymakers learn from this time period, and how can they be applied to boost economic opportunity today? On today's episode, I'll be discussing these questions and more with Jim Tankersley. Jim is a tax and economics reporter for The New York Times, where he writes about the state of America's middle class and the decline of economic opportunity across much of the US. Previously, Jim was the policy and politics editor at Vox and an economic policy correspondent for The Washington Post. He is the author of the recently released book, The Riches of This Land: The Untold, True Story of America's Middle Class.

She Thinks: Asra Nomani on the Battle Between Parents and State Officials in K-12 Education
On this week's episode, we discuss an issue that is gaining traction in the state of Virginia--the battle between parents and state officials over the admission process to merit-based high schools in the region. The families who are protesting changes to the rigorous testing required at these high schools have been met with much hostility. Asra Nomani is one of the parents leading the charge and joins the podcast this week to talk about her efforts.   Asra Nomani is a cofounder of Coalition for TJ, a citizens' group of parents, students, alumni and community members fighting to preserve the values of the American Dream at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, where her son is a student. Asra is a former Wall Street Journal reporter who believes firmly in a founding principle she learned as a journalist: thinking critically and challenging conventional wisdom. She has found herself on the side of many unconventional positions, and she has courageously advocated for women's rights, meritocracy and human rights. She is leading the Pearl Project, which is seeking justice for Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, as Pakistani judges decide whether to free four men convicted in the reporter's brutal 2002 kidnapping and murder.   She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today's news cycle and are seeking the truth. Once a week, every week, She Thinks host Beverly Hallberg is joined by guests who cut through the clutter and bring you the facts.   You don't have to keep up with policy and politics to understand how issues will impact you and the people you care about most. You just have to keep up with us.   We make sure you have the information you need to come to your own conclusions.

Daily Signal Podcast: Here’s How COVID-19 Restrictions Curb Religious Freedom
Exactly how have COVID-19 restrictions on churches and other places of worship affected First Amendment freedoms? What happened when the Supreme Court last week blocked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's limits on religious gatherings? What about the situation in California, where Godspeak Calvary Chapel's pastor, Rob McCoy, reportedly turned his church into a "strip club" so it could stay open?   Zack Smith, a legal fellow in the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss these angles and more.   We also cover these stories: President Trump criticizes Attorney General William Barr for saying he hasn't seen evidence of widespread voter fraud in the presidential election. The president still wants to repeal a legal provision that protects Facebook and Twitter from liability, although other Republicans aren't keen on doing so. The COVID-19 vaccine gets promotional star power as former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama say they're willing to get the shot to help build Americans' trust in it.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg: The Last Platoon (#285)
We have another Remnant first-timer on the show this week, as Jonah is joined by old friend, well-traveled military writer, and Marine veteran Bing West. With a discipline that only a Marine could muster, Bing joins the program to talk about his upcoming novel, The Last Platoon: A Novel of the Afghanistan War, which uses Afghanistan as a backdrop to tell the story of men in combat who "do their duty, even when it becomes clear that there will be no reward." Jonah also probes Bing's brain about the overall strategic value of the Afghanistan war, the abiding faith of American soldiers in an era of secularism, how to break up the perverse friendship between the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and most important, how a small, tri-fold shovel is sometimes the most valuable piece of equipment a soldier can have.   Show Notes: -Pre-order The Last Platoon -Afghani tribal groups and opium production -Bing's book embedded with Marines in Fallujah -Bing in WSJ: "How to save Kabul from Saigon's fate" -Sebastian Junger's Tribe -How counterinsurgency (or COIN) really works -The Dispatch addresses Pompeo's thoughts on the Taliban turning on al-Qaeda -The Pepper Dogs See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hashing It Out: The GOP Autopsy (#64)
It's been a month since the 2020 presidential election, and it just keeps dragging on and on. Yet, there's a schism occurring in the GOP. While Democrats are fighting each other over control of the party, Republicans are deeply divided over the results of the election altogether, mainly centering on voter and election fraud derailing President Trump's path to a second consecutive term. What's going on here? My guest today is Noam Blum, he's an Associate Editor at Tablet Magazine. On today's show, we're going to discuss what happened to create this divide in the GOP, what's on the horizon for Trump and the Republicans, and how the political climate will change in the years to come. "Hashing it Out" is a podcast hosted by Siraj Hashmi, Washington Examiner's commentary video editor and writer. Each episode includes a political guest to offer historical context of the news and politics of the day and insight into how we got to where we are. If you want to find the deeper meaning behind current events, then "Hashing it Out" is the podcast for you.
