Never underestimate the shocking antics Kanye West will do! Now - unraveling because of Kim Kardashian's plans to divorce him - he's planning a trip to Russia to meet with President Putin! And you thought our problems with Russia weren't precarious enough?! Putin is playing a cat and mouse game. Can Biden stop Russia from invading Ukraine? Here to talk about this and more is today's guest: Brigadier General Peter B. Zwack (Ret) Defense Attache to Moscow 2012 – 2014. He is a Global Fellow at The Kennan Institute, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Senior Russia-Eurasia Research Fellow, National Defense University, and author of Afghanistan Kabul Kurier: One Soldier's Story of the Taliban, Tribes & Loyalties, Opium Trade, & Burqas; and Swimming the Volga: A U.S. Army Officer's Experiences in Pre-Putin Russia. BGr Zwack served in senior military positions both for Republican and Democratic Administrations (Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump). These include Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Ambassador to Moscow, Commander of European Command and US Army Europe, commander Kosovo Force and Afghanistan (NATO) and Directors of Defense Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and Army Cyber Command. As the senior Defense Attache to Moscow in 2014, he was present when the Russians invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea and had seen a variation of this before. So, he probably knows a lot more about Putin and Russia than Kanye! (Replay)

From across the pond, AC adjunct speaker Andy Bannister (Director at Solas Centre for Public Christianity) joins us digitally from his home in Scotland. Andy and Andy, as they're known, discuss Bannister's new book, Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? Are Christianity and Islam the same? Join us for this week's episode of the AC podcast where Bannister brings his British accent and wit to this common question.  

This episode the National Crawford Roundtable discusses the current fiasco in Afghanistan.  How serious is this humiliation for the United States?  Are we experiencing another, "fall of Saigon" moment?  Was the 20 year war a waste of time, effort and resources?  In Biden's address to the nation he defended, "his" decision to end the war, but wasn't it Trump who negotiated the war's end?  Isn't the bigger issue not that we left, but HOW we left?  Trump negotiated an agreement that was dependent upon the Taliba not trying to seize control of Afghanistan, but after Biden took office the Taliban started advancing, but Biden did not respond accordingly.  And why does the spokesman for the Taliban have an active Twitter account, but Trump does not?  The Taliban is already alluding to reinstating Sharia Law--how will that affect women and homosexuals in the country?  Will executions of gays happen again?  Will women be forced to wear Burqas, not be allowed to leave their homes without a male escort or written permission from their husbands?  Will women be denied an education and employment?  What about the military equipment, weapons, ammunition, tanks, etc. that has been left behind--how will they be used by the Taliban?  Does this mean we have, "officially" lost the war on terror against the Taliban?  What should we have done differently?

This week The #GSPodcast brings you a panel discussion from The Battle Of Ideas featuring Stephen Knight, Ed Husain, Helen Pluckrose and Simon McCrossan. ‘From Bakers to Burqas: Religious Freedom Today'. Historically, religious freedom was considered an essential right, associated with freedom of conscience, and the eighteenth century saw significant philosophical and practical expansion of the right of individuals to practise different religions as they saw fit. Today, we often see religious freedom pitted against other basic liberties like free speech and gender equality. Can these freedoms coexist? Moderated by Jon O'brien.

This podcast features Scott Wise, Roei Dans and their guest Sue Pryce, filmed on 30th June 2015. Sue Pryce is a drug policy expert and a University of Nottingham Professor in the Politics & International Relations Department. Sue Pryce has written several books regarding drug policy including the widely renowned ‘Fixing Drugs’. The conversation starts off with a brief discussion about television and House of Cards before talking about what it’s like to be a University Professor. Pryce talks about her life so far before the guys move on to discussion immigration and trans-national drug smuggling. Pryce explains the environmental damage that comes with the illegal drug trade as a strong argument for anti-prohibition. Pryce opens up and discusses her own son’s heroin addiction and how the government aims to deal with addiction and how it doesn’t match the reality of addiction. Wise, Dans & Pryce discuss medication and better living through chemistry before the conversation moves to the differences between physiological and psychological addiction. The discussion moves to positives and optimism about drug policy moving forward. 00:00 – 01:45: Introducing Sue Pryce 01:46 – 02:44: House of Cards 02:45 – 05:20: Being a University Professor 05:21 – 07:15: The Pryce Is Right 07:16 – 10:30: Burqas & Migration 10:31 – 12:31: “We Cannot Stop Drugs Coming Into Our Countries” 12:32 – 14:04: “If You Put it in a Dog or Guinea Pig” 14:05 – 15:44: Environmental Damage from Drugs 15:45 – 18:30: Prohibition vs. Legalisation 18:31 – 25:39: My Son’s Heroin Addiction 25:40 – 28:56: How Does The Government Deal With Addiction? 28:57 – 31:53: Better Living Through Chemistry? 31:54 – 35:59: What Do You Think Addiction Is? 36:00 – 38:30: The Psychology & Physiology of Addiction 38:31 – 40:40: Optimism About the Future of Drug Policy 40:41 – 43:50: What’s In Your Drugs & Legal Highs? 43:51 – 45:00: Will We Look Back And Laugh? 45:01 – 49:14: Education Facebook: Facebook.com/RealTalkHQ Twitter: @RealTalkBTS @RoeiDans @ScottWiseRT Instagram: @RealMediaHQ @RoeiDans @BeardMonster101

This week, Adelaide joined the world in observing a full, lunar eclipse and we are sure the lunar effect affected this podcast episode. Not only did Nigel get corrected by his wife regarding the time the eclipse will happen (and he's the science one), but we stumbled into some interesting subjects that Adelaideans rarely talk about until way after dark. However, we were joined by a prominent Adelaidean, Lynda Pearl-Wilson, a former dress designer, whoe gave us a peep under the controversial burqa. She was the dressmaker to a Serbian Muslim woman in Adelaide and will reveal some unexpected requests and beliefs that put paid to the vile, fear-stoked, bitterness that is given full voice in the mass media whenever burqas and other forms of head dress and body covering are mentioned. It is Mental Health Week and tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, so local advertising guy and committed vegan, Tom Williamson, who has also appeared on our podcast with his Vegan Australia Day BBQ, will combine wine and mental health by sharing a gorgeous selection of Bathe Wines available to all of us at a special price while also raising money for the Black Dog Institute for their research into mental illness. This week is also the last of our play-at-home editions of Is It News and it takes us to the Western Suburbs. Good luck. Local radio legend, FIVEaa's Andrew Reimer, drops by with a recording session of announcements for our podcast. NOTE: These were recorded live on his radio program last Sunday night. And not only does Phil Paviour provide us with his newest song, he also helps us pronounce his surname!
