The character of the nation is on the line: We have to stop an autocratic minority from imposing its will on the majority of Americans. And no question, Putin has been very easily manipulating Trump and Musk. Plus, Biden talking about garbage, spam polls, pollster herding, and the weakest swing states for Kamala.  Alex Vindman and Lakshya Jain join Tim Miller. show notes: Congressional candidate Eugene Vindman's web site The fake family of Eugene's opponent in the open VA-7 seat

From April 9, 2021: Tensions are heating up between Russia and Ukraine, seven years after the seizure by the Russians of the Crimean Peninsula and the incursions into Eastern Ukraine. With troop movements and some saber rattling, is Vladimir Putin trying to send a message to Joe Biden, or perhaps to Ukrainian President Zelensky? Is he trying to satisfy domestic constituencies or distract them? Benjamin Wittes sat down with Alexander Vindman to talk about what Russia is doing and why, and what the Biden administration should do about it.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

It's Super Bowl time in America. And 2024 is a year-long Super Bowl FOR America. Stakes have never been higher. And just like for a Super Bowl team, leaders will be the difference.  And Alex Vindman (@AVindman) has been a QB for America stepping up in the biggest moments for years now. He was thrust onto the national scene back in October of 2019 as the news was revealed that Trump had tried to shake down the then unknown President of Ukraine. A brave whistle blower stood his ground and held the line against Trump and as a result, changed the course of history.  It was an inspiring moment for our democracy—and a sign of what was coming. A lot has happened since then. But the core issues are the same —and now more urgent than ever. As American troops abroad face increasing threats on a daily basis, with three recently being killed in Jordan, there's no better time to hear from a man who was Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council (NSC). A man who helped bring some measure of justice to the former President, and a guy who was at the center of what could still end up being the beginning of World War Three.  Welcome to a reminder of what it means to be a patriot in the truest sense of the word. Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 265. Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) provides light to contrast the heat. It's independent content for independent Americans. And every episode delivers a dose of the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact.

One Trump-appointed judge in Texas is likely about to ban an abortion pill used by millions of Americans. And the ban won't just affect women in Texas… it'll affect all of us across the country, even in blue states. The ruling was expected to be released as early as Friday the 24th, so we wanted to make sure we talked today about this case and why it's so important. This isn't the first attack on our reproductive freedoms, and it won't be the last, which is why it's so important to pay attention and to talk to our friends. We're saving the world, one brunch at a time! We're joined by Representative Dr. Anita Somani, who shares her wisdom and knowledge both as an OB-GYN and a state representative in Ohio. Dr. Anita talks about why this ban is dangerous, what we can tell our friends and neighbors about the pill, and how reproductive rights inspired her to run for office. And after that, Amanda sits down with Angela Vasquez-Giroux of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Angela and Amanda chat about what exactly is going on with this case in Texas, what we can do about it, and what gives her hope.Finally, Amanda, Rachel and Jasmine raise a glass to the people of Ukraine, to community support after a hard week, and to celebrating birthdays by giving back in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”Here at Red Wine & Blue, we believe in the power of conversations. And now you can listen in on some of those conversations live every week on social media.

Few people understand how much bravery it took Cassidy Hutchinson to testify better than Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, who sacrificed his own military career to come forward after Trump tried to blackmail Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

Vindman (Retired) was most recently the director for Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Russia on the White House’s National Security Council. His book “Here, Right Matters” (HarperCollins) was published in 2021. This is a public episode.

From November 20, 2020: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (Ret.) is the Pritzker Military Fellow at the Lawfare Institute. You've heard his story, likely in his testimony in the impeachment proceedings for President Trump. But Benjamin Wittes sat down with him for a different reason—his substantive expertise in Eastern Europe policy, Russia matters and great power competition. They talked about the challenges the Biden administration will face as it tries to pick up the pieces the Trump administration has left it, how democracies can hang together and harden themselves against attacks from authoritarian regimes, what a good Russia policy looks like, how China fits in and how we can rebuild traditional American alliances.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

In this episode we speak with Rachel Vindman about the conflict in Ukraine. Having lived there, Rachel has a deep connection to this place, but she also is connected to this beautiful country by marriage. Her husband, Ret. LTC Alex Vindman (former Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council), was born there. During their conversation Will and Josh explore the situation unfolding in Ukraine, and learn a deep and emotional reason why Rachel has a special place in her heart for this beautiful country. Then they pivot to the American response effort, President Biden's State of the Union address, and what people can do to help!  If you are looking for ways to donate and help the people of Ukraine please consider donating to these organizations:MOAS (https://www.moas.eu)MOAS brings emergency medical aid and assistance to the conflict-affected civilians of Ukraine. or HIAS (https://www.hias.org)Hebrew International Aid Society: Drawing on our Jewish values and history, HIAS provides vital services to refugees and asylum seekers around the world and advocates for their fundamental rights so they can rebuild their lives.Guest Bio:Rachel Vindman is a wife, mom, podcast host, writer, activist, and just an overall good person. Her life was radically changed after the 2019 impeachment of then President Donald Trump because her husband, retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel, Alex Vindman, had testified in front of Congress against the Commander in Chief. LTC Vindman,  who at the time, was the Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council (NSC) testified that he made a report to an intelligence official about what he heard during Trump's call with the Ukrainian President Zelensky and felt what the President mentioned during the phone conversation was "improper." Following this event the Vindman family started receiving threats and intimidation, but this didn't deter Rachel from standing up to the bullies and start using her voice.   Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/faithpolitics)

Vladimir Putin has recognized two separatist regions in Ukraine, he has sent Russian troops as so-called peacekeepers to defend them, and all of this seems to be presaging a wider war in Ukraine. The United States and lots of other countries have announced sanctions, and it's all heating up very fast.To talk it all through, Benjamin Wittes sat down with Alex Vindman, Pritzker Military Fellow at Lawfare, and Lawfare, senior editor Scott R. Anderson. What is Vladimir Putin doing? What can we expect militarily? Why did he go through this Byzantine process of recognizing these two non-states? Are we expecting a wider conflict or a narrow one, and what do the prospects look like for either? And will the international community hang together?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On today's episode, Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein cover a lot of ground: Alex Vindman's new lawsuit, updates on Amanda's mystery protestors, accountability, books, and the importance of representation for LGBTQ kids. They talk about how the right wing's attacks on the trans and gay community is driven by fear and how so many Americans are one genuine conversation away from understanding and acceptance.Then Jasmine sits down with Lesléa Newman, the author of frequently-challenged books “Heather Has Two Mommies” and “Sparkle Boy.” Lesléa talks about why she writes books and how frustrating–and infuriating–it is to have her books banned. She also offers a historical perspective, as someone who's had her books challenged for over 30 years, and weighs in on what's new and scary about the book bans happening today.After that, Rachel gets the chance to chat with writer and trans activist Charlotte Clymer. They bond over standing up to Twitter trolls, living their authentic lives, and Charlotte tells Rachel how we can all be better allies to the trans people in our communities. Finally, our hosts raise a glass to hanging in there, decompressing from a tough week, and new adventures just around the riverbend in this week's “Toast to Joy.”Red Wine and Blue is pushing back against book bans with our brand-new initiative Book Ban Busters.

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman is the Pritzker Military Fellow at the Lawfare Institute, a former NSC staffer, and of course, an impeachment witness in the first impeachment of Donald J. Trump. He is also the author of the new book, "Here, Right Matters: An American Story." He joined Benjamin Wittes to talk about the book and the ground it covers—from Vindman's immigration as a small child, to his departure from the Army, the decision he made to report what he heard Donald Trump say to President Zelensky of Ukraine and the fallout, positive and negative.

President Biden met with President Putin in Geneva on Wednesday. There was a lot of press and dueling press conferences, with both presidents having testy moments with them, and the whole thing was pretty different from the last time Putin met with a U.S. president. To talk through the Putin-Biden summit, Benjamin Wittes sat down on Lawfare Live with Fiona Hill and Alex Vindman, both formerly of the National Security Council, Alina Polyakova of the Center for European Policy Analysis, and former Estonian President Toomas Ilves. They discussed whether this was a win for Putin, a win for Biden, an overblown icebreaker or something else, and what it all says about where U.S.-Russia relations are headed.

What a fabulous chat with Renew Democracy Initiative's executive director, Uriel Epshtein! Since 2017, RDI has been active in promoting liberal democracy and its ideals through a variety of events and information campaigns. So go take a look and remember that this is another part of our on-going series: the Tools of Democracy.  In this episode Uriel and I talk about the tenets of democracy, the threats that we're dealing with and some suggestions on how to face the fact that our societies are now riven by polarisation, tribalism and the need for more cooperation at home and abroad. So lots to chew on and consider.  On Feb 15, RDI is hosting the first ever Renew Democracy Virtual Rally, which will see the participation of an array of exciting democracy defenders including LTC (Ret.) Alex Vindman, Garry Kasparov, Preet Bharara, Miles Taylor (NYT Anonymous), Evan Mawarire, and Fmr. Rep. Barbara Comstock.As always my warm thanks to CTP's senior researcher, Davide Cortese.And thanks to Bensound for providing the music.My heartfelt thanks for listening!Mo

Deep State MIC coup to remove Trump started with Lt. Col Alex Vindman The Duran: Episode 667. Via The Federalist (https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/08/vindman-not-whistleblower-was-driving-force-behind-impeachment/)... Rather than being a witness who independently supported the claims of the whistleblower, the National Security Council's Lt. Col Alex Vindman was the driving force behind the entire operation, according to the book's interviews with key figures in the impeachment probe and other evidence. The whistleblower's information came directly from Vindman, investigators determined. “Vindman was the person on the call who went to the whistleblower after the call, to give the whistleblower the information he needed to file his complaint,” said Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y. “For all intents and purposes, Vindman is the whistleblower here, but he was able to get somebody else to do his dirty work for him,” explained one senior congressional aide. *** The Patriot Beacon #1 Tactical Flashlight on the Market Link: https://www.patrioticlegacy.com/product/patriot-flashlight/ Coupon code: Duran20
