Podcast appearances and mentions of alexander vindman

Last week gave us a little preview of the 2026 midterms, and I think the political class is going to get this wrong. They'll look at individual races. They'll talk about turnout. They'll talk about fundraising. They'll talk about "momentum." They'll pull out some internal poll showing Democrats within striking distance somewhere and tell you the midterms are going to be a referendum on Donald Trump. Fine. But I want to ask a different question: What did Democratic voters actually do when they had the opportunity to choose their candidates? Because that is where things get interesting. Start with Florida. Alexander Vindman lost the Democratic Senate primary to Angie Nixon. Now, this isn't a Republican victory over Vindman. Republicans didn't defeat him. Democrats did. And that's considerably more interesting. Vindman was practically manufactured in a Washington laboratory as the anti-Trump candidate. He was the decorated Army officer who became a central figure in Trump's first impeachment. He had national recognition. He had establishment credibility. He had money. A lot of money. Vindman raised more than $16 million. Nixon raised less than $1 million. And Democratic voters chose Nixon by roughly 56 percent to 44 percent. (The Guardian) Think about what that means. Democrats were handed a candidate who was tailor-made to appeal to the anti-Trump constituency they have spent years cultivating. And they rejected him. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, a company admitting it completely fabricated recent polling results, the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Then, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

MAGA world continues to express outrage over Jon Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" remarks, including an over-the-top rant from Scott Jennings that is being seen as the pundit's shameless audition for the open White House press secretary job. Dan and Jon react to Harp-gate, an MS NOW report that says Harp declined to seek a security clearance, and the New York Times reporting that Pete Hegseth brings his wife to highly sensitive meetings to "keep him out of trouble." They then turn to the midterms to unpack Angie Nixon's surprising defeat of Alexander Vindman in the Florida Democratic Senate primary, Dan Sullivan vs. Dan Sullivan in the Alaska general election, Darline Graham's historically embarrassing debate answer in South Carolina, and the impact the debate over data centers is having on the Ohio Senate election. Then, Josh Turek, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Iowa, stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about Democratic momentum in the Hawkeye State and how he convinced Barack Obama to shoot hoops in his viral endorsement video.Hate listening to ads?

(Melodie Edwards / Wyoming Public Radio) Voters in Alaska were not the only ones heading to the polls this week. Primaries were also held Tuesday in Florida and Wyoming. In Wyoming, some voters on the Wind River Reservation told Wyoming Public Radio that transportation to polling places remains an issue. Voters also expressed a desire for more tribal candidates and greater representation of Native culture in schools. Statewide, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, won her party’s nomination for U.S. Senate. In Florida, state Rep. Angie Nixon, D-Jacksonville, scored an upset in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, defeating former national security official Alexander Vindman. Nixon will face Republican Senator Ashley Moody in November. U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Florida, also won his party’s nomination for Florida governor. California voters also went to the polls Tuesday in a special congressional election. Dallas Cowboys rookie Shiyazh Pete. (Courtesy University of Kentucky Athletics) It is NFL preseason and the Arizona Cardinals will take on the Dallas Cowboys this Saturday in Glendale, Ariz. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, you might see a Navajo rookie take the field at State Farm Stadium. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is optimistic for this season. “I'm even more excited today than I was when we started camp, that our team is going to be one that, if we can have some things go right for us, avoid some injury. We could really be something.” Among those fighting to make the Cowboys' roster is undrafted free agent Shiyazh Pete, who is believed to be the first Navajo player to sign an NFL contract. “I was quite, quite a specimen. I mean, really, didn't really have no one to kind of relate to in terms of height. I've always been asked questions of, you know, how tall are you? How's the weather up there?” Originally from Montana, the 6-foot-8 300-pound offensive lineman went to Shiprock High School on the Navajo Nation. He then walked on at New Mexico State University before transferring to the University of Kentucky, eventually signing with the Cowboys this spring. “It's a great honor – to put on the star is again surreal. But again, I have to earn that star. I wouldn't say I'm an official Cowboy yet.” But Pete has that chance to prove he belongs on “America's Team”.

(Courtesy WGBH Educational Foundation) A new PBS documentary is highlighting Indigenous scientific knowledge developed and passed down over thousands of years. The NOVA special “Knowledge Keepers” explores how Native communities have used observation, experimentation, and relationships with the natural world to develop approaches to science. The film looks at practices ranging from ancient sea farming and celestial navigation in the Arctic to ways of adapting to the harsh climate of the desert Southwest. The documentary also examines efforts by Indigenous knowledge keepers to preserve those practices and how that knowledge could help address challenges today. “Knowledge Keepers” was produced in partnership with Vision Maker Media and directed by Fort Yuma Quechan filmmaker Daniel Golding.

Music Formats and Political EvolutionKoop and Russ discussed the evolution of music formats and storage media, sharing personal experiences with Columbia House, CDs, cassettes, and 8-tracks. They explored political topics, particularly the rise of socialism within the Democratic Party and compared it to the far-right takeover of the Republican Party in the 1990s. Russ analyzed the potential consequences of the Democratic Party's leftward shift, suggesting that losing the midterm elections could help the party realize the dangers of extreme positions, while also expressing concerns about the 2028 election and its implications for the electoral map.Political Party and Navy DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed political party dynamics, with Koop arguing that while the Republican Party has become more inclusive, the Democratic Party has embraced candidates with concerning views, including Bernie Sanders appearing with someone who has a Totenkopf tattoo. They also discussed conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, with Koop debunking claims about sailors attempting suicide, stating that such reports lacked credibility. The conversation then shifted to their shared experiences visiting aircraft carriers, including the Kitty Hawk, and their interest in touring nuclear submarines.USS Abraham Lincoln Conditions AnalysisKoop and Russ discussed the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, with Russ providing detailed analysis of the claims about poor conditions. Russ identified several inconsistencies in the reports, including sailors wearing hard hats incorrectly and using the term "boat" instead of "ship," suggesting the reports may have political motivations. They also discussed military life expectations and deployment conditions, with Russ emphasizing that naval deployments are challenging but not unprecedented, and that military service requires letting go of parental oversight.Military Logistics and Supply SystemsKoop and Russ discussed military logistics and supply systems, focusing on how equipment and supplies are pre-positioned around the world on ships and vessels that can deploy within 72 hours. They explained that the modern Army maintains a ratio of approximately 1 war fighter to 14 support personnel, highlighting the complexity of military logistics. The conversation also touched on personal experiences with field conditions and the importance of treating support personnel like cooks and medics with respect, as they play crucial roles in military operations.Military Logistics Operations DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the importance of logistics in military operations, sharing experiences about the complex support systems required for combat operations. They highlighted how logistics includes everything from fuel and maintenance to medical services and described how military bases can quickly be established with prefabricated buildings to support deployed forces. The conversation also touched on their respective military backgrounds, with Koop mentioning his experience with motor pool operations and Russ sharing stories about his time at Fort Irwin, while they both noted how different military branches have evolved to consolidate logistics functions under a single organizational structure.Primary Election Updates and ResultsRuss provided updates on recent primaries, highlighting key results in Wyoming, Alaska, and Florida. In Alaska, the Democratic nominee Mary Peltola won 53% of the vote in the jungle primary, presenting a concern for Republicans. In Florida, Representative Byron Donalds won the Republican gubernatorial primary and is expected to defeat his Democratic opponent by a significant margin. Russ also noted the surprising defeat of Alexander Vindman in the Democratic Senate primary in Florida by democratic socialist Angie Nixon.Discussion on Vindman and MilitaryRuss and Koop discussed their negative opinions of Vindman, expressing disappointment that he did not receive a Bronze Star despite having a Purple Heart, which they attributed to poor performance. They shared personal military experiences, comparing their own awards and recognition, and reflected on their time in service. The conversation briefly touched on the upcoming Alaska Senate race, though the specific details were not fully discussed.Alaska Voting Strategy DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed the Democratic strategy in Alaska to confuse voters by having a candidate named Dan Sullivan appear on the ballot alongside the incumbent, which Russ described as a "dirty trick." They both expressed opposition to Alaska's ranked choice voting system, with Russ noting that the top four candidates advance to the general election despite Petola winning 48.1% of the vote. The conversation then shifted to personal anecdotes about Polynesian communities and college experiences, before briefly touching on NFL topics including Tony Romo and a potential Seahawks signing.Seattle Seahawks Season ProspectsKoop and Russ discussed the Seattle Seahawks' prospects for the upcoming season, with Russ expressing skepticism about repeating last year's success due to factors like back-to-back success being rare, the strong NFC competition, and potential injuries. Koop defended the team's position, highlighting improvements in defense and offensive line, as well as the potential of new players. They also debated the role of luck in last season's success and the challenges of replicating it.NFL and College Football DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed NFL predictions, with Koop expressing confidence in the Seahawks repeating as champions and placing bets on them. They also discussed college football reforms, agreeing that the transfer portal and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rules need regulation, with Koop supporting legislation for limited transfers and capped NIL payments, while Russ expressed concerns about federal government involvement in NCAA matters.Budget Living and Merchandise DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed their experiences with budget living in their twenties and the current perception of cost of living among younger generations.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Mike examines a series of developments he sees as warning signs about the direction of the country, from socialist candidates winning Democratic primaries to growing concerns over immigration, assimilation, and the influence of radical political movements. He questions how Angie Nixon managed to defeat the heavily funded Alexander Vindman in Florida and what her victory says about the broader appeal of the Democratic Socialists of America. Mike also takes aim at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico over his comments about the Carmelo Anthony case and the role of race in jury selection, arguing that the remarks raise troubling questions about the politics of identity and justice. Plus, Mike breaks down another controversy surrounding Darlene Graham Nordone's Senate campaign, including a hot-mic moment that suggested her handlers don't want reporters asking anything too difficult.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Angie Nixon was outspent 16 to 1 and won Florida anyway. Brian Derrick breaks down what the establishment missed, and Alaska's Parent Trap problem with two Dan Sullivans on the ballot.Angie Nixon beat Alexander Vindman with 56 percent in the Democratic primary for Florida's Senate special election, the race to finish Marco Rubio's term through 2028. Brian's read is that the prognosticators missed a state legislator who physically showed up for every fight in Florida while a creator ecosystem amplified her all year. Sabato's Crystal Ball moved the race to safe Republican the next morning. Oath has not. She faces Ashley Moody in November.In Alaska, Mary Peltola finished as the top vote-getter ahead of incumbent Dan Sullivan, and there is a second Dan Sullivan on that ballot, a former fifth grade teacher running as a Republican who pulled about 2.5 percent. Republicans tried to strike his name. The courts said no.Then Brian gives the full midterm TLDR. The four Senate seats Democrats need and the order they are likeliest to come in. Why the House is the must-win. The 36 governor's races, from David Crowley in Wisconsin to Amy Acton in Ohio. And the part of the ballot almost nobody talks about: attorneys general, secretaries of state, and state supreme courts. Kris Mayes won Arizona by 280 votes out of 2.5 million. That is the whole point.Also: Comment Crossfire debuts, where Glennis Meagher answers the DSA members who said that criticizing Megan Romer's New Yorker Radio Hour interview was doing Republicans' work for them. Plus Clickbait or Double-Click this week gets into Zohran Mamdani promoting free Broadway tickets in four languages and the MAGA meltdown it created, Nancy Mace showing off her new tats and YouTube show on her way out of Congress, and the $900MIL White House construction bill.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham admitting she is not well-versed at all on national security, a company admitted it completely fabricated recent polling results, and two Dan Sullivans appearing likely to make the November ballot for U.S. Senate in Alaska.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they head to the South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate debate as Sen. Darline Graham whiffs on a question about Taiwan and admits, "National security is not my thing." Jim explains why this answer ought to be considered disqualifying, especially considering the challenges we face from China.Then, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Finally, they groan over Alaska's ridiculous system, where four candidates advance from Tuesday's primary to the general election. This year the four U.S. Senate candidates will include two named Dan Sullivan, one of whom is accused of running just to sow confusion for the current Sen. Sullivan. The eventual winner will be decided through the execrable ranked choice voting system. Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday.

From a stunning Democrat primary shocker in Florida to a jaw-dropping debate fumble over foreign policy, this election season is turning upside down!

David Waldman brings us more news and more thoughts about said news. Greg Dworkin brings his Raft O' Stories™, and an economy–sized bag of primary takeaways. In the Florida elections, it was a bad night for bad guy Cory Mills, who had Donald K. Trump's "Complete and Total Endorsement." Trump never did like him, now. Cory was just one of Trump's losers, with various carpetbaggers going down. Florida cleaned house, even the Sarasota school board flipped. Debbie Wasserman Schultz defeated all the black candidates in a new black district, because "electability", yet Angie Nixon beat Alexander Vindman for a Quixotic tilt at the midterms. Vindman losing is the only thing Donald remembers from the night. There was a near-total massacre for the Freedom Caucus in the Wyoming primary, and yet another Trump loser. In Pennsylvania, Dems flipped a Trump 18+ district, which had to hurt more than his ear. Gops need election deniers because Dems are going to be denying them elections. Everybody's pissing on data centers, and you know what, they have a point. Dems are missing a bet if they don't get behind the growing anti-surveillance movement soon. ICE and those who want to persecute anti-ICE are part of Flock's growing customer base. Flock isn't only useful to the budding Stasi agents in ICE, it's a great tool for ICE stalkers, sex criminals and child abusers as well. Compliant Technologies products are perfect for rapists, but also invaluable for those who need a record of someone fighting back recorded to their bodycams. Donald and Pete Hegseth are playing a game of Battleship, and both look like they are winning. Natalie Harp, how does she… Oh man, you do NOT want to know how she does it. The biggest proof that MAGA is a cult is that they actually believe that Trump is having sex with her.

Alexander Vindman raised $16 million with Chuck Schumer and the Democrat establishment behind him, outspent his opponent 13 to 1, and still lost the Florida Senate primary by nearly ten points to DSA socialist Angie Nixon, who didn't even raise a million dollars. Nixon has defended taking her own kids to drag shows and doubled down on abolishing prisons in a CNN interview while the anchor visibly reeled. Senator Ashley Moody tore up the speech she'd written for Vindman and went straight at the socialist nominee instead.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Chuck Todd breaks down a rapidly shifting 2026 political landscape beginning with Susan Collins’ decision to seek re-election in what could become the toughest race of her career, a contest that may prove pivotal in a potentially tied Senate where Democrats could even attempt to court Lisa Murkowski. Chuck explores how Collins’ choice reshapes the map, why an open Maine seat would have favored Democrats, and how outsider candidates like Graham Platner may challenge both party establishments. The conversation widens to key battleground developments in Texas and Florida, including Alexander Vindman’s Senate bid and the risks of divisive primaries, while Republicans face mounting structural challenges and a slipping grip on the House. Chuck also examines why Democrats are expanding their target map, what could still derail a major Democratic wave, and the intensifying fight over voting legislation like the SAVE Act—arguing that partisan “poison pills” have deepened gridlock and made meaningful compromise in Washington increasingly rare. Then, Chuck sits down with John Conyers III to discuss his deeply personal memoir "My Father's House." Far from a typical political biography, this book offers a raw, unflinching look at what it's like to grow up as the son of legendary civil rights congressman John Conyers Jr.—inheriting a legacy you never chose and navigating between worlds of poverty and power. John opens up about the family betrayal that triggered his father's 2017 resignation, the complicated truth about Rosa Parks' final years, and his own journey from the music industry to confronting his predetermined path. This isn't hagiography or exposé—it's a son trying to understand how a public giant could be both indispensable to a movement and deeply flawed in private. The conversation ranges from the intimate—John's anger at having expectations placed on him, his career as a songwriter and producer—to broader questions about how we reckon with complicated heroes, from his father to MLK to LeBron James. Todd and Conyers explore Detroit's cultural legacy, the emotional toll of creative work, and what it means to accept the full humanity of the figures we elevate. It's a fascinating discussion about legacy, identity, and the cost of living in a house built by history, featuring unexpected detours into NBA debates and why Detroit will always be a cultural exporter, not an importer. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 crazy things that used to be LEGAL in politics and a bonus Top 5 list of things that shouldn’t be. Plus, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince. Don't wait!

How can the United States advance its interests without abandoning its core values? Alexander Vindman, retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and former director for European Affairs on the White House's National Security Council, presents a discussion on the critical interplay between morality, values and power in the practice of geopolitics and national security.  After the collapse of the Soviet Union, six U.S. presidential administrations across both parties crafted policies for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia that unintentionally emboldened Russia and played into its imperialist, centuries-long mythos of regional hegemony, by pursuing short-term transactional policies. The result: military aggression and full-scale invasion. It was all too foreseeable.  Vindman will discuss the shifting U.S. foreign policy landscape, what a just peace and lasting end to the war in Ukraine might look like, the administration's increasingly transactional approach to international relations, and Trump's heavy-handed approach to national security and domestic politics. About the Speaker  Dr. Alexander Vindman, a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel, was the director for European Affairs on the National Security Council. Before that, he served as the political-military affairs officer for Russia for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and as an attaché at the U.S. Embassies in Moscow and Kyiv. While on the Joint Staff, he authored the National Military Strategy for Russia. He earned a Master's from Harvard University, where he served as a Hauser Leader, and a Master's and Doctorate from Johns Hopkins, where he is a senior fellow. Dr. Vindman leads the national security think tank Institute for Informed American Leadership, is the president of the nonprofit Here Right Matters Foundation, an executive board member for the Renew Democracy Initiative, a senior fellow at the Kettering Foundation, and a senior advisor to VoteVets. Dr. Vindman is the author of the "Why It Matters" Substack and the New York Times bestselling books Here, Right Matters and The Folly of Realism. Learn more about your ad choices.

An interview with Alexander Vindman, author of The Folly of Realism. The book offers a chilling analysis of how Western indecision made possible the return of brutal Russian expansionism with terrifying consequences.

One of the clearest, most necessary voices on Ukraine, democracy, and what the West keeps getting wrong. In this ICYMI episode, Corey revisits his most recent conversation with Dr. Alexander Vindman — retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, former Director for European Affairs on the National Security Council, and author of The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. From the thousand-year struggle for Ukrainian sovereignty to why U.S. administrations repeatedly misread Russia, Vindman explains how we arrived at this moment — and what a values-based foreign policy (“neo-idealism”) could mean for America's future. He also opens up about family history, his brother Eugene's first term in Congress, and what gives him both concern and hope in a destabilized world.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid take viewers deep into the digital battlefield, breaking down Trump's sudden flood of reposts to patriot accounts, the White House sharing Alpha's viral “Seditious Six” video, and General Flynn's message that the future hinges on Americans using their collective voice. They connect key Q-post timestamps, Trump's Truth Social cues, and Melania's symbolic Christmas imagery to show how public engagement and information warfare now shape political outcomes. The hosts lay out why civic pressure, not passive spectatorship, is driving major shifts, from Cyber Command's reported strike on Serbian servers to Trump's push for paper ballots and tariff-driven tax reform. They call out psychological operations aimed at dividing MAGA, confront Alexander Vindman's claim that troops should disobey Trump, and explain how unified messaging can overwhelm institutional power. With D5 approaching and a major Oval Office announcement imminent, Alpha and Josh underscore that this moment belongs to citizens willing to act, coordinate, and push the system where it must go.

A former NSC Director for European Affairs and key Trump impeachment witness, Lt. Col. Vindman argues that Trump's ad hoc engagement with Putin diminished U.S. credibility, granted Putin international legitimacy, and undermined Ukraine's sovereignty. He discusses Putin's proposed land-for-peace deal, Zelenskyy's constrained agency, and the risk that Washington's approach trades away strategic leverage for short-term optics. Lt. Col. Vindman and A'ndre discuss discuss whether Monday's White House Summit of Trump, Zelenskyy, and European allies actually showcased unity, in addition to the current state of the war.
