John welcomes U.S. Naval War College professor emeritus and Atlantic staff writer Tom Nichols back to the pod to discuss the implications of Donald Trump's militarization of law enforcement in Los Angeles and an array of related topics. Nichols argues that Trump's mobilization of the National Guard and the Marines to deal with protests of his deportation policies in L.A. is a dry run, on favorable political turf, to acclimate Americans to the sight of troops in their cities and gauge public blowback; that his partisan speech at Fort Bragg—and the silence of the generals in reaction to it—was an “obscenity;" and that these events, along with his military parade in Washington, demonstrate that Trump sees the U.S. Armed Forces as his personal “toy soldiers.” Nichols also weighs in on Israel-Iran, Russia-Ukraine, and how Trump has effectively turned the U.S. into a bystander in both conflicts.

Iran's armed forces have told Israeli residents to leave the vicinity of what they call "vital areas" for their safety. Jordan Grimmer-Tufik, a New Zealander living in Tel Aviv, spoke to Corin Dann.

 June 15 through June 17, the G7 summit will be happening in Alberta, Canada. The big question is whether Donald Trump should be banned from this summit. He is the biggest disruptor in the world. He doesn't want to play with others nicely at all. He wants things to be his way or no way at all. He has ambushed Zelensky. He has tried to ambush Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada. He has attempted to ambush the president of South Africa, who is waiting for him to try to ambush him, and was able to evade his attack, saying that he is committing genocide against the Afrikaners. He has put forth a white supremacy policy. Policies, and he is unjustly and without due process, removing people from the United States and sending them to some encampment in El Salvador.  Unlawful confinement and kidnapping policies are being used by people with masks who are just snatching people off the street. This is what is happening because of his leadership as president.  He has parked the National Guard and Marines in California in an attempt to with scare tactics to stop them from protesting what he is doing, because what he is doing is breaking the Constitution. If any one of those particular members of the Armed Forces opens fire on a citizen in California, they're breaking the Constitution that they were sworn to protect. They, if they don't ignore the executive order to attack us citizens, they're helping Donald Trump to break the constitution that he has no respect for. He has no respect for global happenings. He said, India and Pakistan over the ideas of who gets to control Kashmir, let's go make some money together. We'll do some trade and that'll solve the problem. He is attempting to rape the land of of Ukraine, of of their rare earth mineral minerals, so that they give up their sovereignty to Vladimir Putin. Is this the kind of person who truly represents what the G7 is about, and should this person be allowed to be at this summit in an attempt to disrupt it? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

6th Sunday of Easter On this Memorial Day Weekend, we give thanks to God for the lives we are able to live in our country as we remember those who have died while serving in our Armed Forces, protecting us and upholding the rights and liberties which we enjoy here and now; we remember them and we pray for eternal rest and peace for their souls.  If I'm being totally honest, though, in my day-to-day life, I usually take these freedoms for granted.  I also take many of the blessings of life for granted...and the people God has placed in my life for granted...and the incredible gift of forgiveness of sins in Jesus and eternal life for granted...and our incredible Catholic faith for granted... So if you're anything like me, let's pause this week, and intentionally give thanks to God this day for all of His many gifts!

Manitoba has declared a state of emergency, with Canadian Armed Forces on the way to assist the province in its wildfire fight; the RCMP in Nova Scotia has uncovered video evidence of two missing children the day before their disappearance.

Ordained in 1996, the Rev. Jerome “Jay” Cayangyang is a Navy Reserve chaplain with almost 35 years of service and currently also serves as rector and dean of Bishop Seabury Anglican Church, Pro-Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word. He has served numerous active duty and reserve assignments including two combat deployments to Iraq.  In addition to his parish duties, he currently serves as the Deputy Chaplain of the Marine Corps for Reserve Matters. Cayangyang and his wife, Linda, live in Connecticut and have five adult children. “I'm deeply humbled by this opportunity,” Cayangyang said. “I am truly grateful for all of my ministry to this point: the Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy, Anglican Diocese of the Living Word, and Bishop Seabury Church.  I am grateful for their love and friendship. The Lord used my time in those ministries to prepare me for this new role as a bishop. And finally, I am so thankful for my family and their partnership in the ministry.”

When it comes to balancing love, duty, and family, retired military couple Dale and Jan Hamby have lived what many might consider the impossible dream. Both dedicated to decades of service in the U.S. Armed Forces—Dale in the Army, Jan in the Navy—their journey has spanned continents, deployments, and deep personal sacrifice.

In today's world, the battlefield extends far beyond war zones—it's embedded in our tech stacks, supply chains, and airspace security systems. So who better to solve these modern challenges than those who've served on the front lines?Recorded live at the third annual American Dynamism Summit in Washington D.C., this episode features a16z's Matt Shortal—a veteran himself—moderating a conversation with three founders who transitioned from military service to building cutting-edge defense startups:John Doyle, founder & CEO of Cape David Tuttle, cofounder & CEO of Rune Grant Jordan, founder & CEO of SkySafeThe panel covers their journeys from service to startups, how their time in uniform shaped what they chose to build, and whether veterans should go straight into entrepreneurship—or stop first at places like Palantir or Anduril. They also discuss how Ukraine changed the game, how dual-use tech is shifting the innovation landscape, and how to instill trust and culture in mission-driven companies.The big question: how do we win the next war—the asymmetric, fast-moving, tech-enabled kind—and build the industrial base we need to do it? Resources: See more from The American Dynamism Summit 2025: www. a16z.com/american-dynamism-summitFind John of  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-doyle-48633227/Find David on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtuttle1/Find Grant on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grantjordansd/Find Matt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-shortal/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Again, that’s businessmakers.network. We’ve talked about how Washington State has increased its gun laws and restrictions in previous episodes, so now it's time that we also talk about how to battle these unconstitutional fences around guns. So, how do we preserve the second amendment? Our journalist Justin Chartray wrote an article about this and reported that even though liberals may have the money, numbers, and votes, we can fight back their influence by helping the citizens of Washington State understand the true nature of a firearm. People need to know more about guns than just what popular media tells them. Jeremy Ball, a Washington State citizen who owns "Sharp Shooting Indoor Range and Gun Club", thinks that this is the best course of action to take because even though liberal influence has had a negative impact on guns, we also need to realize that many of us have not done our duty in teaching our kids how to handle guns properly. This blame also falls onto the gun industry itself. "We have not pushed back as an industry to get kids involved. We have failed to provide a positive outlook for them, and a positive outlet for teaching them safe firearm ownership and teaching them some of the things they get to do with guns." (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/a-bright-future-in-sight) Not many people are raised properly around guns anymore, so when the left says that guns are evil, there’s no pushback because guns aren’t a part of our daily life or thought. This allows the left to control the narrative. This allows them to criminalize guns. So, the first step is that we need to get guns back into people’s hands, but we still need to do it in safe contexts. For example, one of the best ways to do this is through creating trap teams in schools that competitively shoot clay pigeons. We can fight back the broad and false narrative about guns by giving people, as Jeremy Ball says, a positive way to think about firearms. While it’s hard to make changes in liberal government and legislation, we need to realize that if we want long term effects, we need to focus on how parents and families understand firearms. We need to shape how the next generation will handle their responsibility of guns in a safe way that still honors everyone's second amendment rights. Jeremy Ball wants to preserve these rights, and he knows it will be hard. However, it’s not impossible: "It probably can be done. But it’s going to take parent(s) who are motivated to do it and to start pushing the issue. They expect gun store owners to lead the charge...but I can’t do it by myself. The approach needs to happen in the community, and if you make enough noise people will listen." (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/a-bright-future-in-sight) Meanwhile, President Trump just issued a presidential memorandum yesterday about the security of the Southern Border. This memorandum will give the military more power to protect the Southern Border from external threats. As seen on the White House's website, President Trump, "assigned the Armed Forces of the United States the military missions of repelling the invasion and sealing the United States southern border from unlawful entry to maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of the United States." (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/military-mission-for-sealing-the-southern-border-of-the-united-states-and-repelling-invasions/) President Trump wants our southern border to be stronger, so hopefully this memorandum will help accomplish that goal.

This week, the Senate held its confirmation hearing for Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine, President Trump's relatively obscure nominee for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Caine's nomination comes amidst questions of his perceived loyalty to Trump and the blowback of last week's Signal leak involving several high-level Trump administration officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Not to mention, the administration's continued attack on DEI and so-called “wokeness” in the military. On this episode of Trumpland with Alex Wagner, a look at how Trump is trying to remake the American military, and the potential threat it may have to readiness, morale, and recruitment in the armed forces. We hear from the some of the people who've put their lives on the line for their country about their concerns for the future of America's fighting forces.Remember to follow the show so you don't miss a single episode.
