Episode 252 of the Transition Drill Podcast, traumatic brain injury recovery, veteran transition, and rebuilding identity for veterans, first responders, and anyone navigating life after service, injury, or high-performance careers. You'll hear Chrisanne Gordon on the hidden cost of brain injury, the fight to be believed, and what it takes to turn personal adversity into a mission that changes lives.Dr. Chrisanne Gordon didn't arrive in the veteran community through military service. She arrived through medicine, personal hardship, and a realization she couldn't ignore. Chrisanne followed generations of family medicine into becoming a physician. She worked emergency medicine, then later moved into rehabilitation medicine, driven by a simple question she couldn't let go of: what happens to patients after they leave the ER?That question became personal after suffering a traumatic brain injury herself. As a physician suddenly becoming the patient, she experienced something she'd spent a career treating but had never fully understood. Cognitive changes, loss of speech, identity disruption, depression, and the realization that medicine didn't yet have all the answers changed how she viewed recovery and the people living through it.Then she read reports suggesting returning veterans with traumatic brain injuries were being dismissed, misunderstood, or categorized incorrectly. What started as concern turned into action. Chrisanne volunteered at the VA in Ohio expecting to help however she could. Instead, she found herself evaluating veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and witnessing firsthand how difficult recovery, diagnosis, and transition could become when invisible injuries met institutional systems. Her work eventually challenged accepted practices and redirected her professional life entirely. From there came advocacy, research initiatives, congressional outreach, documentary filmmaking, and eventually the creation of a nonprofit focused on supporting veterans living with traumatic brain injury. Along the way she helped elevate awareness, pushed for recognition of TBI as a defining wound of modern conflict, and continued listening directly to veterans rather than speaking for them.Today, Chrisanne's mission extends through speaking, education, books including Guarding Our Guardians: Guaranteeing America's Veterans a Future from Deployment to Employment, and ongoing support for veterans and their families.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Episode Summary: The ties between the French Air Force and U.S. Air Force go back to the dawn of aviation and have been intertwined ever since: from early Wright Brothers flights, the Lafayette Escadrille, World War II, operations in Afghanistan, and so much more. Today, this relationship is more important than ever given the challenges facing our respective nations. Brigadier General Pierre Gaudillière, Commander of the French Air Combat Command, joins us to explore how France views the current security environment through an airpower lens.

But according to some servicemen, not everything left behind was made of steel and concrete. Drawn from firsthand accounts submitted by U.S. troops, these stories describe strange voices, unexplained encounters, and experiences connected to the remnants of the Soviet-Afghan War that continue to defy explanation.

**Funding the Enemy: The Shocking Continuity of U.S. Cash Infusions to Iran and the Taliban** In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts expose a deeply troubling pattern within American foreign policy: the continuous funding of hostile regimes and designated terror groups. The monologue begins by tearing into the Trump administration's newly proposed maritime framework with Iran, drawing explicit, unfavorable parallels to Barack Obama's 2015 JCPOA. Labeling the deal a "disastrous" mistake and a cash-for-nothing transfer, the commentary highlights how temporary sanctions relief allows Tehran to cash in on billions of dollars in backed-up oil reserves. Despite Iran's record of over thirty red-line violations and constant ceasefire strikes, the U.S. receives only a vague "framework" to have a conversation about enriched uranium stockpiles. Shifting focus from the Middle East to Afghanistan, the commentary dives into an equally stunning revelation regarding the Taliban. Despite a 20-year war that cost $2.3 trillion and claimed 2,456 American lives, the U.S. government continues to send $40 million a week to Afghanistan. The host calls out Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking a vote on the House-passed "Defund the Taliban Act," accusing him of outright lying on the record about his awareness of the bill. Citing warnings from intelligence analysts, the segment details how the Taliban is currently protecting reconstituted Al-Qaeda and ISIS terror camps. Whether through sanctions relief to Iran or direct financial aid to Kabul, the host delivers a scathing indictment of a system where foreign adversaries are built up "brick by brick" at the direct expense of American service members. The episode wraps up with a lighter look at domestic business news, touching on the massive financial buzz surrounding a SpaceX IPO.

An in-depth examination of how the United States can build more effective partner militaries. Military assistance has a bad reputation. Large-scale attempts to build partner militaries in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam cost the United States billions of dollars and ended ignominiously, with the collapse of local forces as American troops withdrew. Arms transfers of sophisticated, American-made weapons often appear to do more harm than good. Yet military assistance and support—operating indirectly through partners—when done right, can deliver remarkable strategic results for the United States and its partners. Working effectively with partner militaries is one of the most pressing national security challenges for the United States today. In their latest book, War at Arm's Length: How America Can Build Effective Partners Through Military Assistance (Yale University Press, 2026), Richard Bennet and Alexander Noyes offer a systematic look at military assistance in the twenty-first century, examining a frequently deployed but often misunderstood set of tools that allows the United States to leverage partner militaries to achieve national security objectives. Bennet and Noyes posit that two main factors—the degree of interest alignment on security issues and the level of institutional capacity of the receiving force—will be the most important variables in Washington's ability to build militarily effective partners. Our guests today are Doctor Richard Bennet, who is a senior research associate at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland, and Doctor Alexander Noyes, who is a fellow in the Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at the Brookings Institution.

This is the official VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll, highlighting our Honored Veterans during Veterans Appreciation Month. SUBMITTED BY: Listener Bob________________________________________________________________ Vic and Ken,I've thoroughly enjoyed and deeply appreciate the fact that this has been a weekly event for quite a while, and that it's now a daily occurrence during the month of June is just a phenomenal idea! Thank you both so much for that! It's very possible that I've missed any segment that may have mentioned the unsung heroes of so many U.S. Military Combat Operations, the K-9 Warrior. I'd like to take the opportunity to recognize the innumerable brave, intelligent, and Fearless members of the Armed Forces, which have served in every war since the American Revolution, in one form or another...as well as in other worldwide conflicts throughout human history. The story of the Military Working Dog (MWD) in US Forces officially began on March 13, 1942. That’s when the U.S. Army launched its War Dog Program during World War II, though canines have served honorably for much longer than that...including Sgt Stubby, a stray Boston Terrier Mix who served in WWI - he served in 17 battles, alerting troops to incoming gas attacks before humans could detect them, comforting wounded soldiers, and even capturing a German spy by biting him and refusing to let go until soldiers could capture him. Stories abound of our magnificent K9 companions serving honorably and selflessly in WWI and WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan (including the Belgian Malinois with nerves of steel, Cairo, who was part of SEAL Team 6’s historic mission to eliminate Osama bin Laden...and another Belgian Malinois, Conan - who played a critical role in the Delta Force raid that eliminated the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, only two of the many, many canines who've served selflessly and honorably, even while mortally wounded in some cases. The stories of these amazing K9 heroes remind us that courage and sacrifice aren’t limited to humans. For over a century, military working dogs have saved lives, detected danger, and provided unwavering loyalty to the soldiers they served alongside. Whether charging into battle, shielding their handlers, or using their sharp instincts to prevent catastrophe, these dogs have played a vital role in American military history." I get lost reading stories of them, there are so many. We as humans cannot possibly thank our deserving Canine Companions enough just for our interactions with them in our daily humdrum lives; their amazing contributions to human society in wartime is the well-earned and well-deserved stuff of legends. Here are some of the other K9 Heroes featured on pawpularcompanions.biz: Sgt. Stubby (WWI) - The Original War DogChips (WWII) - The One-Dog ArmySmoky (WWII) - The Little Terrier That CouldNemo A534 (Vietnam War) - The Dog Who Wouldn’t Back DownCairo (SEAL Team 6, Bin Laden Raid, 2011) - The Modern LegendLucca (USMC, Iraq & Afghanistan) - The LifesaverRags (WWI) - The Messenger DogRex (Iraq War) - The Marine’s Best FriendConan (Delta Force, ISIS Raid, 2019) - The Terrorist HunterGander (WWII, Battle of Hong Kong) - The Ultimate SacrificeHonza (War on Terror, USMC) - The Explosives ExpertLayka (Afghanistan, U.S. Army Rangers) - The Indestructible Warrior K9 Veterans Day is March 13th. You can read about many of the amazing K9 Veterans by going to: www.pawpularcompanions.biz and search “K9 Veterans” If they've been covered already and I missed it, I apologize...if not, is it possible that Vic could do a segment honoring these wonderful warriors of ours?

Nearly five years ago, the Taliban seized control of Kabul and imposed Sharia law in Afghanistan. The women's cycling team, which was due to take part in international competitions, found itself more threatened than ever before. An unprecedented plan was put in place to smuggle the professional cyclists out of the country in complete secrecy. Reporters Matteo Born and Alain Rimbert look back at this incredible operation.

An in-depth examination of how the United States can build more effective partner militaries. Military assistance has a bad reputation. Large-scale attempts to build partner militaries in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam cost the United States billions of dollars and ended ignominiously, with the collapse of local forces as American troops withdrew. Arms transfers of sophisticated, American-made weapons often appear to do more harm than good. Yet military assistance and support—operating indirectly through partners—when done right, can deliver remarkable strategic results for the United States and its partners. Working effectively with partner militaries is one of the most pressing national security challenges for the United States today. In their latest book, War at Arm's Length: How America Can Build Effective Partners Through Military Assistance (Yale University Press, 2026), Richard Bennet and Alexander Noyes offer a systematic look at military assistance in the twenty-first century, examining a frequently deployed but often misunderstood set of tools that allows the United States to leverage partner militaries to achieve national security objectives. Bennet and Noyes posit that two main factors—the degree of interest alignment on security issues and the level of institutional capacity of the receiving force—will be the most important variables in Washington's ability to build militarily effective partners. Our guests today are Doctor Richard Bennet, who is a senior research associate at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland, and Doctor Alexander Noyes, who is a fellow in the Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at the Brookings Institution. Our host is Eleonora Mattiacci, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Amherst College.

Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this week we'll be dissecting the “MAHA Report” as well as it's strategy and “MAHA ELEVATE” proposal. Please know that there will be several more parts to this series so if there's anything you think I didn't get to or is worth emphasizing, I will absolutely be doing follow-ups and want you to hang tight - I very much hear and mirror your concern. Researching this episode has been heartbreaking like none other and I just appreciate you all taking the time to listen. Please review the sources below for all information, it is of the utmost importance right now that we all stay informed. Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit ⁠https://hily.go.link/jRMKW I do also plan on searching for actionable items and ways to recognize front groups, but I do need some time to collect and format that information. Please know that hope is never lost.  Nuance: I do apologize for my poor pronunciation of some medical conditions and other words, I am someone who loves to research outside of a school context so I don't get to hear most of these words spoken out loud by others. I foresee some red-hat-supporters running with this point for “evidence” of me being unintelligent and I'm covering my bases for when that eventually happens. My main reason for pointing this out is not to prevent people making fun of my pronunciation but more of a demonstration on how predictable some people are. Reminder: I love answering questions, if you have an assumption on any of my political stances, please just ask. *Spoiler* I am not a fan of the United States military and have very strong, informed opinions. Edit for 31:50 - I accidentally referred to RFK Jr. as “JFK” - this was a mistake lol.

Why can't we just bomb our way to victory in Iran? Listen to Lt. General Karen Gibson, former Director of Intelligence for U.S. Central Command, tell tales of the three-legged stool of military, intel and diplomacy in Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq – when things go well and when they do not.

Willy sat down with Katie Cook, a trailblazing Marine Corps pilot who made history as the first woman selected to fly with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, live from the Walker & Dunlop Leadership Summit. She and Willy discussed her path from a military family to the Naval Academy, the near-plane crash in flight school that shaped her career, and the combat mission in Afghanistan where she fired Hellfire missiles in defense of a pinned-down Marine squad. They also explored what it meant to become the first female Blue Angel, the weight of representing more than yourself, and how the leadership lessons in the cockpit translate to the boardroom.

Host Tara uncovers a disturbing reality: despite the Taliban lowering the legal marriage age for girls to nine and rolling back basic human rights, the US government continues to send them $40 million of taxpayer money every two weeks. Tara targets Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking a vote on the "Defund the Taliban" bill, which has already passed the House twice. She traces the roots of this policy from the Biden administration's botched withdrawal to potential deep-state and corporate financial interests, drawing connections to China's multi-billion dollar contracts for Afghanistan's rare-earth minerals.

What happens when you spend more than two decades helping organizations communicate, investigate, and build trust across the globe? In this episode of Truth Be Told, Dave Thompson, CFI sits down with WZ Vice President of International, Chris Norris, CFI to explore what he's learned from working in more than 45 countries and traveling to over 80. From living in the UK to teaching investigators in Afghanistan, Korea, Brazil, and beyond, Chris shares the cultural lessons, communication mistakes, and relationship-building strategies that have shaped his career. The conversation dives into the surprising differences—and remarkable similarities—between people around the world. Chris discusses how curiosity, humility, and adaptability can help anyone build stronger relationships, whether they're leading an international team, conducting an interview, or simply connecting with people from different backgrounds. Along the way, he shares memorable stories about cultural misunderstandings, translating investigative training across languages, and why some of the most important communication lessons have nothing to do with words at all. Learn more about WZ's International presence! Truths: People are more alike than different. Whether you're in London, Seoul, Kabul, or Chicago, the fundamental challenges of communication, trust, and information gathering remain remarkably consistent. Cultural differences matter, but human nature is universal. Curiosity is a communication superpower. The most effective communicators don't assume—they ask. Chris shares how approaching new cultures with humility, patience, and a willingness to learn opens doors that expertise alone cannot. Adaptation builds credibility. From language choices and email etiquette to dress and behavior, small adjustments can make a big difference in building rapport and trust across cultures. Adaptation isn't about changing who you are—it's about showing respect for the people you're trying to connect with. Don't mistake difference for resistance. What looks like disengagement, disrespect, or reluctance in one culture may actually be a sign of respect in another. Effective communicators learn to challenge their assumptions before drawing conclusions. Open-mindedness is the foundation of growth. Chris's message to every class is simple: "Be open-minded, and we'll learn something together." Whether you're leading a team, conducting an interview, or traveling abroad, growth begins when you're willing to see the world through someone else's perspective.  

In hour 3, Greg Kelly provides a multifaceted commentary on current events, blending praise for President Trump's peace-oriented diplomacy with sharp criticism of contemporary political and social norms. He begins by celebrating the news of a called-off airstrike on Iran, arguing that Trump's preference for negotiation and deal-making serves as a vital alternative to the "never-ending" wars of previous administrations. The dialogue shifts into a critical analysis of Maryland Governor Wes Moore, whom Kelly accuses of stolen valor and resume padding regarding his military service in Afghanistan. Throughout the broadcast, Kelly engages with callers to challenge the industrialization of PTSD and the perceived softening of military culture, insisting that personal resilience and faith should take precedence over government-funded benefits.

This episode hosts David Higgins to explore the complex and often misunderstood boundary between military operations, humanitarian action, and political stabilisation in modern conflict environments. Drawing on two decades of experience across the British Army, the United Nations, and geopolitical advisory work, we look at how different institutions operating in the same space can interpret the same conflict in fundamentally different ways, and how those differences shape outcomes on the ground. The discussion focuses on David's central argument that civil-military coordination frameworks still assume a level of clarity between “military space” and “civilian space” that increasingly no longer exists. While these distinctions were difficult but workable in conflicts such as Afghanistan and Somalia, today's environments are far more fragmented, with blurred front lines, overlapping actors, and the increasing weaponisation of civilian domains including information, finance, and infrastructure. As a result, coordination mechanisms risk becoming procedurally active but operationally ineffective. David Higgins is Head of Humanitarian Access and Civil-Military Coordination in Somalia for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). He has spent twenty years working across the civil-military boundary as a British Army infantry officer, humanitarian and stabilisation adviser, and geopolitical analyst, including deployments to Helmand Province and roles across Afghanistan, Iraq, and East Africa. He previously served as Head of Geopolitical Analysis at M&C Saatchi World Services and as a reservist Lieutenant Colonel with the British Army's 77th Brigade, and holds a research master's focused on hybrid threats and UK national security. The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk. From geopolitical instability and organised crime to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare, each episode explores the forces transforming our world and what smart leaders must do to navigate them. Whether you're a board member, policymaker, or risk professional, The International Risk Podcast delivers actionable insights, sharp analysis, and real-world stories that matter. Dominic Bowen is the host of The International Risk Podcast and Europe's leading expert on international risk and crisis management. As Head of Strategic Advisory and Partner at one of Europe's leading risk management consulting firms, Dominic advises CEOs, boards, and senior executives across the continent on how to prepare for uncertainty and act with intent. He has spent decades working in war zones, advising multinational companies, and supporting Europe's business leaders. Dominic is the go-to business advisor for leaders navigating risk, crisis, and strategy; trusted for his clarity, calmness under pressure, and ability to turn volatility into competitive advantage.

Het WK voetbal gaat van start en Nederland raakt langzaam weer in de ban van opstellingen, spitsendiscussies en kansen voor Oranje. In Amerika draait het nog vooral om hele andere dingen. Een Somalische scheidsrechter kwam het land niet in, een Iraakse spits werd urenlang vastgehouden op het vliegveld en ook Iraniërs lopen tegen visaproblemen aan. President Trump houdt de regie stevig in handen en maakt duidelijk dat niet iedereen zomaar het veld op mag. In deze aflevering bespreken Jan Postma en Bernard Hammelburg hoe Trumps immigratiebeleid het WK raakt, wat dat betekent voor spelers, officials en supporters, en hoe ongemakkelijk die situatie is voor FIFA-baas Gianni Infantino. Ook kijken ze naar de vraag die al decennia boven het Amerikaanse voetbal hangt: breekt soccer nu eindelijk écht door? Na rust verschuift de aandacht naar een ander speelveld. Iran, Israël en de Verenigde Staten grepen opnieuw naar de wapens, ondanks eerdere afspraken over een bestand. Hoe serieus is de nieuwe escalatie? En heeft Trump eigenlijk nog wel controle over het conflict? Verder: nieuwe signalen richting de midterms, Trumps aanvallen op de verkiezingsprocedure in Californië en de opmerkelijke opmars van een omstreden Democratische kandidaat in Maine. Over de Amerika Podcast In de Amerika Podcast nemen Bernard Hammelburg en Jan Postma je mee naar het Amerika van nu: een land dat onder Donald Trump opnieuw in rap tempo verandert. Wat betekent zijn beleid voor Amerikanen in rode én blauwe staten, voor de democratie? Wat is er nog over van the American Dream? Wat verandert Trumps koers voor ons in Europa? Hier hoor je de verhalen van de Amerikanen zelf. We nemen je mee naar het land van adembenemende landschappen, countrymuziek uit de autoradio en diners langs de highway. Maar natuurlijk ook juist naar de mavericks die deze clichés doorbreken. De Amerika Podcast zoekt naar de ziel van Amerika. Buitenlandcommentator Bernard Hammelburg vanuit New York en Amsterdam, correspondent Jan Postma vanuit Washington DC of ergens in een van de vijftig staten. Die zoektocht doen we samen met jou, want de Amerika Podcast is niet compleet zonder de vragen van onze luisteraars. Elke donderdag in je podcastfeed!

It is now, it's still 95 to 5. 01:11 Still 95 to five. Let's go to Everett in Spartanburg. How you doing Everett? 01:17 Charlie, how you doing? Good man. What's up? Two things. uh Allen Wilson, if he's so good, how come we got so much illegal immigration? I've been fighting this no cash bond for over two years in the upstate. Hobart Lewis said they don't even arrest them. They take the vehicle and let them go. If you do that, you don't even have a record. You don't know how many they are here. 01:44 That's thing. We don't. We don't. I've asked several of the candidates during our Governor Series, do we have a sanctuary state? And you know, it's looking like in some cases the answer to that is yes, we don't have... Well, here's what Alan Wilson wants to do. He wants to enact the 287G program, which would deputize all, you know, every member of law enforcement to be ICE agents. Now, that doesn't mean we're to be pulling them. 02:13 off of their duties to go round up people, if they come across somebody, you see, but here's the thing Everett, that is the way the law reads. That's the way the law reads. Check it out. He said one thing, he said he had reached across the aisle. The only reason I'd reach across the aisle is to grab him up by the sack of swivel. Hey, they're nothing like us. They're nothing like us. I don't know what a sack of swivel is, but I can just picture it. 02:41 Yeah, it's okay. Don't explain. Don't explain. I just want to say one other thing. the war in the straight-o-road news today in Google News, read a Military Watch article. It'll tell you why we're losing in Iran. Thank you very much. Well, we're not losing in Iran. Sorry to... If you read that article, you'll I don't need to read somebody to... I mean, I got my own eyes there. I appreciate it. We're not losing. We're not losing. 03:09 Stop that, that's anti-Trump, that's anti-American BS. We're not losing. We got more guns, we got more ammo, we got more of the big bombs than they've got. We're not losing. Sorry, we've been in control the entire time. 800, 905, 098, 9. We're getting a lot of people voting in this poll now. Listen to this, I we've got, I didn't even know this. 03:38 Do know when I found this out? It was a couple of weeks ago when we found out that our Congress, our House of Representatives in Washington, they passed a bill. Are you ready for this? This is crazy. They passed a bill to defund the Taliban. 04:00 Well, wait a minute, hold on. What are you talking about? Defund the Taliban. So if our Congress passed a bill to defund the Taliban, what does that tell you has been going on for a while now? We've been funding the Taliban. 04:20 Over in Afghanistan. 04:23 because of the abysmal and who did that? Well, that was the Biden administration with that pullout of Afghanistan. We're now funding those people. But listen to this. This is from, uh I think it's Alison in the know over at Lindale TV talking to John Thune. Listen to this. Thune, the House passed Tim Burch's bill to defund the Taliban. I think it was 11 months ago. Every week that goes by, they get another $40 million. When can the American people expect to see a vote on this? And do you expect it to pass? 04:53 uh... don't know when ... 1937 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:05:00 +0000 MiiITdXJZYY0ho7Ta48O35nGlbj4CwiH news The Charlie James Show Podcast news Hour 3 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

I've asked several of the candidates during our Governor Series, do we have a, are we a sanctuary state? And you know, it's looking like in some cases the answer to that is yes, because we don't have, well here's what Alan Wilson wants to do. He wants to enact the 287G program, which would deputize all, you know, every member of law enforcement to be ICE agents. Now that doesn't mean we're gonna be pulling them. 02:06 off of their duties to go round up people, if they come across somebody, you see, but here's the thing Everett, that is the way the law reads. That's the way the law reads. check it out. He said one thing, he said he had reached across the aisle. The only reason I'd reach across the aisle is to grab him up by the sack of swivel.

They passed a bill to defund the Taliban. 03:53 Well, wait a minute, hold on. What are you talking about? Defund the Taliban.

We've been funding the Taliban. 04:14 Over in Afghanistan. 04:17 because of the abysmal and who did that? Well, that was the Biden administration with that pullout of Afghanistan. We're now funding those people. But listen to this. This is from, uh I think it's Allison in the know over at Lindale TV um talking to John Thune. Listen to this. House passed Tim Burchard's bill to div on the Taliban. I think it was 11 months ago. Every week that goes by, they get another $40 million. When can the American people expect to see a vote on this?

In Oekraïne heerst een lichte euforische stemming, nu Oekraïne Rusland steeds harder weet te raken, ziet Alle Dorhout, scheidend ambassadeur voor Nederland in Oekraïne, maar we moeten wel waakzaam blijven. 'Dat mag ons niet afleiden van wat nodig is, doorgaan met steun aan Oekraïne en meer druk op Rusland'. Hij is, samen met Europaverslaggever Geert Jan Hahn, te gast in BNR De Wereld. Luister ook | 'Trump heeft op alle fronten de plank misgeslagen' Volgens Doorhout keert de dynamiek aan het front langzaam in Oekraïens voordeel en is de eigen defensie-industrie, vooral op dronegebied, uitgegroeid tot een ‘lichtend voorbeeld’ voor Europa. 'De deep strike capability van Oekraïne is steeds groter geworden', zegt Doorhout, ambassadeur in Oekraïne. Hij wijst op het verzadigen van de Russische luchtverdediging en de inzet van langeafstandsraketten als Flamingo, die doelen diep in Rusland en op de Krim raken. Luister ook | Hup hup hup, tijd voor de terugkeerhub - 2 juni 2026 De kansen voor het Europese asiel- en migratiepact Het Europese asiel- en migratiepact treedt vrijdag in werking. En hoewel er veel kritiek is op de uitwerking daarvan ziet CDA-Europarlementariër Jeroen Lenaers vooral kansen. 'Het Europees migratiepact is objectief een verbetering ten opzichte van de chaos van de afgelopen tien jaar', zegt Lenaers, die ook vicevoorzitter van de Europese Volkspartij-fractie is. Hij verwacht binnen een jaar ‘zichtbare tekenen van verbetering’ dankzij snellere procedures aan de buitengrenzen, strengere terugkeerregels en afspraken met derde landen. Volgens Lenaers moet het pact ervoor zorgen dat mensen uit veilige landen een versnelde procedure krijgen en direct worden teruggestuurd, zodat de druk op landen als Nederland vermindert.

When the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021, they didn't just alter the country's political landscape—they systematically dismantled the legal and social reality for all women and girls. Through a continuous rollout of oppressive edicts, women and girls have been banned from universities, barred from working for NGOs, and forbidden from even speaking aloud in public spaces. International legal experts and activists are increasingly calling this reality gender apartheid. In this episode, we sit down with Rina Amiri, top diplomat and former U.S. Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights. Having spent decades navigating the complex world of conflict resolution and international peacebuilding at the UN and the State Department, Amiri brings an unparalleled level of insight to one of the most critical human rights crises of our time.

If you PsychArmor has helped you learn, grow, and support those who've served and those who care for them, we would appreciate hearing your story. Please follow this link to share how PsychArmor has helped you in your service journey Share PsychArmor StoriesAbout Today's GuestAmanda Noyes is the founder of Finding Freedom Therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Supervisor with over 25 years of experience, she has had the opportunity to work in numerous crisis situations where she witnessed firsthand the gravity of trauma and grief. It was in these situations that she realized there were not enough opportunities to heal from trauma and loss after the initial crisis. With this knowledge, she formed Finding Freedom Therapy, PLLC, in 2014 with the vision of providing specialized treatment to those who have endured (or are continuing to endure) horrific traumas and unspeakable losses.After earning her degree in psychology and international studies from Texas A&M University, Amanda pursued her Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout her career, she has had the unique opportunity to gain notable hands-on experience, much of which was working in conjunction with the military, first responders, and frontline workers. She has worked alongside probation and parole officers in the field, with police officers on-scene, supported doctors and nurses in the ED and ICU departments of level-one trauma centers, counseled families of the recently deceased at the moment of loss, and worked next to the U.S. National Guard when assisting during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Harvey.Amanda's experience with veterans and military service members began early in her career with her graduate internship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Hospital, and later continued with her work as lead trauma therapist for an inpatient military program, Freedom Care, where she worked with active-duty combat military and veterans suffering from PTSD. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). Each and every step of her career has shaped and strengthened her ability to better assist clients through the most difficult times in their lives.Links Mentioned in this Episode Finding Freedom Therapy WebsiteDFW First Responders Support NetworkPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course Trauma Informed Interactions with Veterans.

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to start a pointless fight is to speak in tribes. When we say “Muslims believe,” “immigrants do,” or “the West is under attack,” we're usually not describing reality, we're advertising a shortcut our brain wants to take. I break down why that lazy language is so tempting, how it fuels tribalism, and what moral psychology can teach us about asking better questions before we pick a side.Then we run a debate clip that perfectly captures modern discourse: the conversation leaps from “Britain is being destroyed” to London crime, to Brexit and the EU, and then straight into the loaded question “Can Muslims coexist with the West?” We pause on the moments where definitions go missing and the goalposts move, because that's where bad arguments are made. Along the way we touch UK economics and austerity, immigration as an economic force, and what the crime numbers actually get used to imply.From there, the debate turns to refugees and the uncomfortable context behind the headlines: Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and how war, sanctions, and long-term instability shape migration. Context doesn't excuse everything, but it does explain why trust breaks, why “just fix it” is not a serious policy answer, and why comparing countries without comparing their history is a setup for propaganda.We close on purpose with something constructive: a Harvard commencement message that lands like a blueprint for how to disagree without dehumanizing.

Trump is talking about making the American public a "partner" in AI companies. Nate says that is not public ownership. That is government control. Today on Good Morning Liberty, Nate breaks down the latest Israel-Iran ceasefire confusion, Trump saying he "calls the shots," and why Israel's actions raise a hard question about client states, defense spending, and escalation. Then we get into the main issue: Trump praising parts of Bernie Sanders' economic thinking while floating a government stake in AI companies. Why would AI companies want this? Preferential treatment, regulatory protection, data centers, federal land, and insulation from competition. Nate also responds to Tucker Carlson and Jimmy Dore arguing that corporations are more malicious than government, and explains why the worst corporate abuses usually come when corporations use state power.
