Known for his key role in the first Trump impeachment and his deep expertise in Eastern European affairs, Vindman returns to discuss his latest book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. The conversation dives into the geopolitical stakes of the ongoing war in Ukraine, U.S. foreign policy across administrations, and the importance of civic responsibility in the face of authoritarianism. What We Discuss: Why U.S. administrations consistently misunderstood Russia and Ukraine. The concept of “Neo-Idealism” and its value in foreign policy. How family history and personal experience shaped Vindman's worldview. The political realities facing Ukraine and the U.S. in a post-Trump world. The role of values in sustaining democratic institutions. Episode Highlights: [00:01:00] Introduction to Alexander Vindman and his background.

[01:07:00] How we can engage across political and cultural divides. Featured Quotes: “Russia, absent Ukraine, ceases to be an empire. With Ukraine, it becomes one.” – Alexander Vindman “Neo-Idealism is about tethering our interests to our values and committing to them over the long term.” – Alexander Vindman “We succumbed to misplaced hopes and fears.

This past week, America marked 23 years since thousands of Americans were killed in a series of terrorist attacks in New York City, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C..   In our nation's capital, 184 people were murdered when hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon.   Texas State Senator Brian Birdwell (R) was there on September 11th, 2001.

The tensions were high in the first debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris, as they attacked each other on their records and plans for the future of the nation. Despite muted mics being a part of the debate rules, there were numerous occasions that the candidates clashed, firing rebuttals as the moderators attempted to rein in the competitors. On numerous occasions the moderators fact checked the former President, as he went after the Vice President on abortion, the economy and crime. FOX News Radio's Josh Kraushaar and Jared Halpern joined the Rundown to analyze the winners and losers of last night's debate, if President Trump was able to define Vice President Harris to the American people, and what comes next in the campaign for the White House Today marks 23 years since thousands of Americans were killed in a series of terrorist attacks where terrorists hijacked four different commercial planes and crashed them in New York City, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. 184 people were murdered when hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. Texas State Senator Brian Birdwell (R) was an Army Lieutenant Colonel at the time when he was nearly killed during that Pentagon attack.

What a great conversation to revisit on this Father's Day! Alex is a devoted dad and has such reverence and respect for his own father, all of which we covered in this talk. And yes, we also cover the grave risks of a potential 2nd Trump Administration, Lt. Col. Vindman's experience on the WH's National Security Council and so much more.   We're on Patreon! Join the community:  https://www.patreon.com/politicsandreligion   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review:  https://ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics    Donald Trump's supposedly "perfect call" was the furthest thing from perfect. In this episode, Alexander Vindman tells us what was so dangerously wrong about it as well as WHY IT MATTERS.   Alexander Vindman, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and the director for European Affairs on the White House's National Security Council, shares valuable perspectives on the Trump administration, Donald Trump's unhinged lawlessness and the dangers the country faces if Trump is given another term. Dr. Vindman, having earned a Doctorate in International Affairs from Johns Hopkins, discusses international geopolitics, focusing particularly on Russian aggression and corruption. Lt. Col. Vindman offers a firsthand account of his experience in the Trump White House, the damage that's already been done and the resilience of the U.S institutions that hold firm amidst these pervasive threats.   Throughout the conversation, Alex emphasizes the central role of local communities and the effectiveness of conversation in addressing divisive socio-political issues. His candid reflections on his own experiences -  as an immigrant serving the country, in the face of profound institutional challenges and even his personal setbacks (eg. Operation Cabbage Patch) - offer a compelling narrative about American resilience and the ongoing pursuit of a 'more perfect union'. This was an in-depth primer on international affairs, national security threats and democratic values. Lt. Col. Vindman had so many valuable insights for listeners interested in understanding the complexities of today's political landscape and the role of dialogue in bridging societal divisions.   WHY IT MATTERS: alexandervindman.substack.com/   Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.   Please support our sponsor Meza Wealth Management: www.mezawealth.com   You can find Corey on all the socials @coreysnathan such as www.threads.net/@coreysnathan.

This week, Matt sat down with the Director of Defense Industry Initiatives, Michael Mullins, out of North Carolina State University's Industry Expansion Solutions to talk about North Carolina's integral role in national manufacturing; defense, textiles and more. As lead of defense initiatives with NC's MEP Center, Mullins has an expansive view on how the state leverages its historical strengths in textiles to meet modern defense needs with the help of the MEP and driven by long-time and new manufacturing outfits. Mullins stresses the importance of a strong communication strategy to ensure small manufacturers are aware of the resources available to aid their growth and sustainability, and on the host of warm potential partnerships across academia, workforce ,state and local government and more to build a resilient manufacturing ecosystem capable of responding to national needs. To Mullins, a former Marine and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, adaptability and responsiveness are key qualities of an effective manufacturing ecosystem to deliver value to its manufacturers.

   Embark on a journey to the front lines of military medicine with our esteemed guest, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Randi Schaefer. With her wealth of experience, Dr. Schaefer takes us through the intense world of emergency trauma care and her personal evolution from a college student to an accomplished military nurse and emergency medicine expert.

From the early days of relying on hospital staff donors to the current state-of-the-art application of whole blood in the thick of combat, we discuss the critical observations and strategic collaborations that have driven these practices forward. The role of STRAC in revolutionizing pre-hospital care and the crucial impact of timely blood transfusions in saving lives take center stage in this compelling narrative that intertwines military precision with medical breakthroughs.    Our final moments with Dr. Schaefer reveal the innovative solutions combat medics deploy to save lives under the most extreme conditions, including providing blood transfusions amidst the chaos of active fire. We also shine a light on the advancements that continue to elevate the field, like the Vampire Program and the Tactical Combat Casualty Care training. Dr. Schaefer's ongoing consulting work and vision for emergency medicine not only reflect her unwavering dedication but also promise to guide the future of trauma care to even greater heights.

Take Home Messages: Military medicine has played a critical role in innovating trauma and emergency care, specifically in the field of pre-hospital blood administration, due to the need for immediate life-saving measures in combat scenarios. Career progression within the Army can lead to educational opportunities and specializations in emergency medicine and trauma care, as evidenced by the journey of a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and military nurse. The shift in blood transfusion practices, such as the transition from crystalloids and component therapy to the use of whole blood, has been influenced by clinical observations and the necessity for timely interventions to reduce mortality rates. The Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council (STRAC) has been instrumental in connecting military and civilian trauma care practices, especially in pre-hospital blood administration. Training and protocols developed for combat medics, such as Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), have resulted in innovations that guarantee timely and safe blood transfusions even in active combat situations. The logistical challenges of storing and transporting blood products in combat situations have spurred innovative solutions, like the use of drones and advancements in non-liquid blood products such as spray-dried plasma. Clinical guidelines, such as using the shock index, assist medics in making decisions about when blood transfusions are necessary, leading to improved patient outcomes in pre-hospital trauma care. Doctoral research focused on increasing pre-hospital blood transfusion rates highlighted the significance of training, refining dispatch operations, and managing distractions during emergencies to prevent missed opportunities for life-saving transfusions. The practical implementation of pre-hospital blood product administration involves navigating logistical challenges, adhering to blood bank and FDA requirements, and ensuring the proper storage and temperature maintenance of blood products. The episode underscores the significance of continuous innovation and adaptation in emergency medicine, using lessons learned from military experiences to enhance civilian trauma care and ultimately save more lives.

Donald Trump's supposedly "perfect call" was the furthest thing from perfect. In this episode, Alexander Vindman tells us what was so dangerously wrong about it as well as WHY IT MATTERS.   Alexander Vindman, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and the director for European Affairs on the White House's National Security Council, shares valuable perspectives on the Trump administration, Donald Trump's unhinged lawlessness and the dangers the country faces if Trump is given another term. Dr. Vindman, having earned a Doctorate in International Affairs from Johns Hopkins, discusses international geopolitics, focusing particularly on Russian aggression and corruption. Lt. Col. Vindman offers a firsthand account of his experience in the Trump White House, the damage that's already been done and the resilience of the U.S institutions that hold firm amidst these pervasive threats.   Throughout the conversation, Alex emphasizes the central role of local communities and the effectiveness of conversation in addressing divisive socio-political issues. His candid reflections on his own experiences -  as an immigrant serving the country, in the face of profound institutional challenges and even his personal setbacks (eg. Operation Cabbage Patch) - offer a compelling narrative about American resilience and the ongoing pursuit of a 'more perfect union'. This was an in-depth primer on international affairs, national security threats and democratic values. Lt. Col. Vindman had so many valuable insights for listeners interested in understanding the complexities of today's political landscape and the role of dialogue in bridging societal divisions.   WHY IT MATTERS: alexandervindman.substack.com/   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/TPandRPod   Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.   Please support our sponsor Meza Wealth Management: www.mezawealth.com   Be sure to check out another great podcast, Beyond Politics.

Following the speech last week by the head of the British Armed Forces calling for a new ‘citizen army', we look at what this could look like and what role women would play. Emma Barnett speaks to former RAF Group Captain Kathleen Sherit the author of Women on the Front Line, and to Diane Allen, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. It's been reported that the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fasts for 36 hours at the start of each week. He is said to stop eating by 5pm on a Sunday and doesn't permit himself to touch food again until 5am on a Tuesday, and allows himself to drink only black coffee and water. It is said that he has followed this practice for years. Emma is joined by Dr Saira Hameed to discuss fasting and how men and women should approach it differently. Amy and Anu are identical twins, but just after they were born, they were taken from their mother and sold to separate families. Years later they connected online and realised they were among thousands of babies in Georgia stolen from hospitals and sold, some as recently as 2005. Emma speaks to one of the twins, Amy Khvitia, and also Fay Nurse, a BBC journalist behind a new documentary, Georgia's Stolen Children. From cute cat memes to plush toys, a new exhibition at Somerset House explores the power of cuteness in contemporary culture. But is buying into a cute aesthetic regressive or even sexist, or can cute be reclaimed as a form of protest? And how would you feel, as a grown woman, about being labelled 'cute' or 'adorable'? To discuss, Emma is joined by Dr Isabel Galleymore, a consultant on the Cute exhibition; and the journalist Vicky Spratt.Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Emma Pearce

0900, Thursday, July 25, 2019: President Trump called Ukraine's President Zelensky, supposedly to congratulate him on his recent victory. In the months that followed, the American public would only learn what happened on that call because Alexander Vindman felt duty-bound to report it up the chain of command: that the President of the United States had extorted a foreign ally to damage a political challenger at home. Vindman's actions and subsequent testimony before congress would lead to Trump's impeachment and affirm Vindman's belief that he had done the right thing in the face of intense pressure to stay silent. But it would come at an enormous cost, straining relationships with colleagues, superiors, and even his own father, and eventually end his decorated career in the US Army, by a Trump administration intent on retribution. ---------- SPEAKER: Alexander Vindman is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, was most recently the director for Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Russia on the White House's National Security Council. Previously, 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. Embassy in Moscow, Russia. While on the Joint Staff, he co-authored the National Military Strategy Russia Annex and was the principal author for the Global Campaign for Russia.
