Welcome to a Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!? with your hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent! We are officially kicking off August with a wild ride through the latest freight news and diving into the future of logistics tech with two incredible guests. Malcolm and Mike run through a mind-boggling roundup of recent freight crime and poor decisions: $20M Smuggling Bust: Customs officers at the Calexico Port of Entry seized 1,002 pounds of cocaine hidden under the wooden floorboards of a flatbed hauling rebar. Discount Store Heist: The California Highway Patrol recovered more than $500,000 in stolen cargo merchandise from a discount retail store in Rialto. Million-Dollar Truck Theft Ring: Two men were arrested in South Carolina after stealing 13 semi-trucks and 3 trailers over the course of three years. Bud Light Bumper Cars: A driver in a 2022 Freightliner crashed into nine stopped vehicles in Erie, PA, and allegedly fled the scene on foot while carrying a case of Bud Light. USPS Lottery Theft: A Florida mail carrier was arrested for stealing a resident's mail and cashing their $2,600 winning lottery ticket. Louisiana CDL Bribery: A massive bribery scheme was uncovered where over 120 people paid around $5,000 each to obtain fraudulent CDLs with the help of corrupt DMV employees The Innovators: AI in Logistics Paul Singer (Co-founder & CEO, FleetWorks): Coming hot off being named a Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startup, Paul joins the show to discuss how FleetWorks is revolutionizing the industry. Leveraging his experience at Uber Freight, Paul explains how their AI agents (Chet and Sophia) help brokers and carriers automatically match freight, negotiate rates, and handle unstructured communications via phone, email, or text. Amir Haas (Founder & CEO, Eagle): Amir breaks down how Eagle is digitizing and securing manual freight yards. By automating gate check-ins with AI, they are stopping fake licenses, catching damaged or empty trailers, reducing dwell time, and saving facilities an average of $500,000 a year on labor costs.

In this episode of Port of Entry, recorded before a live audience, we talk with Lourdes Ayon, a Tijuana native, comedian, advocate, and lobbyist, about how comedy can become a powerful form of protest.
It's a show packed with sport, comics, and community. First up, they catch up with Anthony from the Bristol Bisons — the South West's first inclusive rugby team, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary. The Bisons are heading to Brisbane, Australia for the Bingham Cup (the Gay Rugby World Cup), named after Mark Bingham, a 9/11 hero and gay rugby player who helped prevent United Flight 93 from reaching its target. The tournament runs from 19th to 23rd August, and Anthony shares what it means to be part of a club that's grown from a small group to a herd of 60-70 members. "For a lot of us, it was finding a space that was safe," he says. "We really are our own tribe — many of us have developed lifelong friendships and found our chosen family."Later, Chris and Nate from PrideCAF (Pride Comic Art Festival) return to the studio after a year off — and they're bigger than ever. Now taking over the entire first floor of Sparks (the old M&S building), this year's festival on Saturday 19th September will feature over 80 LGBTQ+ comic artists, up from 60 last year. Guests include Hamish Steele (creator of Dead Endia on Netflix) and Oli Hicks (co-creator of the softball lesbian romance Grand Slam Romance). Entry is free, with donations welcome, and the team are especially proud that the festival was the first LGBTQ+ dedicated comic art festival of its kind in the UK. "Comics and zines have such a rich history in queer culture," Chris explains. "They were used to spread information about the AIDS epidemic — it was very punk to be a gay comic artist."Terry is in with the news, including a devastating Islamist terrorist attack at Berlin Pride, civil servants being banned from attending the Bristol Pride March, and Sam Smith partnering with BBC Introducing to give 10 up-and-coming musicians the chance to open for their UK residency shows.

Forest Service officials have announced that parts of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area will reopen for overnight trips on Thursday, marking the first time visitors have been allowed back since the entire wilderness closed two weeks ago because of wildfires. The partial reopening includes nearly 40 percent of the BWCA, primarily near the Gunflint Trail. Entry points near Ely remain closed, leaving many businesses that depend on wilderness tourism waiting for more access to reopen. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with Ely Mayor Heidi Omerza about the latest wildfire response, communication with officials and the ongoing economic impact on the community.
Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, Mike is in Florida, and Balazs is in Hungary. But we're here for you! In today's discussion, we tackle a listener suggestion. We're talking about entry-level watches and how brands approach this. Hint: it's very different today, with greater expectations from the buyer.Jumping into watches 15 to 20 years ago was a much different affair than now. Social media was barely present, prices were lower, and microbrands were almost non-existent. Our listener, Cezary, asked us to consider the brands representing the new entry-level category. We do that, but go further and talk about what this term means today and how larger brands interpret it. We hope you enjoy the show!HandgelenkskontrolleWe start our show with some travel banter. Balazs had a lengthy drive to Hungary with his baby daughter. It was relatively challenging, but after one night and 12 hours on the open road, he is enjoying some family time. Meanwhile, Mike flew from London to Miami and slept most of the way before and after watching Marty Supreme. Once again, The Odyssey surfaces during our chat. So be it! Then, we discuss LeBron James and the surprise signing with the Philadelphia 76ers. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, our choices couldn't be more different. Mike is enjoying the pool and jogging with this durable Citizen Promaster BN0220. Balazs has dressed it up with his Rolex GMT-Master 1675.Entry-level watchesWhen it comes to entry-level watches, our listener specifically asked about the Seiko sub-brand, Lorus, and whether it has replaced Seiko 5 as the low-cost option. The bottom line is that we don't think so. There's nothing wrong with these pieces, but they don't seem to be aimed at enthusiasts like the old 7S26 pieces were. Instead, it shifts our discussion to what we think has really occurred. As Seiko has raised prices, the company expects buyers to join the journey. In other words, the price of an affordable watch, as viewed by brands, has changed. Cezary also asked about Longines and whether the brand has become the new Omega. This came up because Omega's prices have drifted upward and Longines now occupies this price bracket. Our view is that there is still a large difference between the two, but that Longines has improved mightily. This leads to a further discussion on the remaining Swatch Group brands and how the hierarchy works. Our feeling, again, is that a brand like Omega wants a buyer to remain loyal and not move to a different brand under the corporate umbrella. Finally, we talk about the rise of microbrands. These companies have become the new entry-level darlings. However, the challenge for these companies is reach and differentiation. Still, for enthusiasts who conduct a bit of research, this is where the opportunities lie.We hope you enjoyed today's episode, and thank you for listening. As always, let us know if you have topics for future shows!

Neil Lanctot details the March 1916 sinking of the Sussex, which caused more American deaths and pushed Wilson to the brink of war. German Ambassador Johann von Bernstorff worked desperately to maintain peace, recognizing that American entry would doom Germany, while Wilson largely ignored his own ambassadors in London and Berlin, whom he considered useless or biased. Interestingly, the Wilson administration used wiretaps to monitor the German embassy, revealing Bernstorff's personal affairs and diplomatic strategies. In Berlin, leaders distrusted Wilson, viewing him as leaning toward the Allies, while British leaders like Lloyd George were frustrated by American neutrality. Domestically, TR's rage at Wilson's "holding back" reached a boiling point, leading him to use vulgar language toward the President during private meetings with Republican financiers. Meanwhile, militant pacifist Rosika Schwimmer, who had initially drawn Henry Ford into the peace movement, was marginalized as the movement became increasingly fragmented and impractical. (5)1914

The full moon in July marks one of the most important dates in the Buddhist calendar: Asalha Puja (Esala), the start of the Rains Retreat / Vassa for the Buddhist monastic Sangha, and the day when the Buddha delivered his first formal discourse, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta ('Discourse on Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dhamma'). This date is also known as 'Dhamma Day'. Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the meaning of Vassa / Rains Retreat, and encourages us all to dedicate ourselves to enhanced practice for these three months. In particular, we can use the Four Noble Truths, as explained by the Buddha in his first formal teaching, for contemplation to: Fully understand suffering 'Dukkha' Abandon the cause of suffering, craving 'Taṇhā' Realise the end of suffering, throught the end of craving 'Dukkhanirodha = Nibbāna' Develop the Noble Eightfold Path in order to weaken and finally transcend all craving and sufferingDhammagiri Forest Hermitage:https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsOur email Newsletter:https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletterLatest Photoshttps://latest-pics.dhammagiri.netOur Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724#asalha #entryrainsretreat #dhammacakkapavattana #4nobletruths #buddha #buddhism #dhammatalk
Peter Howitt won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. The award was for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction. He and Philippe Aghion gave that theory a mathematical form in 1992.Competition and innovation do not move together in a straight line. What decides the direction is where a firm sits relative to the technological frontier. Peter also draws the line between a merger that buys innovation and one that removes it, and he describes the route by which an incumbent turns market power into political power. We then turn to agent-based modeling. He is candid about why a method he still defends took thirty years to find readers.Follow me on X (https://x.com/profschrepel) and BlueSky (@ProfSchrepel).***References:"A Model of Growth Through Creative Destruction" (with Aghion), Econometrica 60(2), March 1992, 323–351. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2951599.Endogenous Growth Theory (with Aghion), MIT Press, 1998. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262528467/endogenous-growth-theory/"Competition and Innovation: An Inverted-U Relationship" (with Aghion, Bloom, Blundell, Griffith), Quarterly Journal of Economics 120(2), May 2005, 701–728. https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-abstract/120/2/701/1933966."The Effects of Entry on Incumbent Innovation and Productivity" (with Aghion, Blundell, Griffith, Prantl), Review of Economics and Statistics 91(1), February 2009, 20–32. https://direct.mit.edu/rest/article/91/1/20/57753/The-Effects-of-Entry-on-Incumbent-Innovation-and."The Emergence of Economic Organization" (with Robert Clower), Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 41(1), January 2000, 55–84. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167268199000876."Banks, Market Organization, and Macroeconomic Performance: An Agent-Based Computational Analysis" (with Ashraf and Gershman), JEBO 135, March 2017, 143–180.

In this episode of Whiskey Lens, we step into the world of bespoke, age-old Scotch whisky with James Mackay of Artisan Cask (Artisanal Spirits Company). From rare drams to the art of private cask ownership, this conversation unpacks how exclusive cask experiences can elevate your entire whisky journey — and what it actually takes to own one.James shares stories from his years in premium Scotch, including one of the rarest pours of his career: a 52-year-old grain whisky that sold at auction for $20,000. We dig into the unique profile of the Mortlach 1991 Artisan Cask No. 304590 — its natural cask strength, craftsmanship, and surprising approachability for bourbon drinkers — along with why cask re-racking and multi-stage maturation matter so much for building complexity.The conversation also covers:What it's actually like to own a private cask — sampling, aging decisions, and bottle deliveryThe social and personal side of ownership, including exclusive events and communityRegionality and terroir in Scotch, with real examples from Islay, Speyside, and beyondHow cask type — sherry vs. bourbon — shapes flavor over timeThe right glassware for tasting high-end Scotch, and why presentation mattersScotch's growing role in cocktail culture and pairing ideasA deep dive into Bunnahabhain 1989 and long-maturation complexityPeated Islay whisky and how peat profiles evolve over decades of agingWhat it takes to actually partner with Artisan Cask — minimum investment, entry pricing, and the full processWhether you're a Scotch collector, a whisky-curious bourbon drinker, or just fascinated by how the ultra-premium end of the spirits world works, this episode is packed with insider knowledge you won't find anywhere else.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Whiskey Lens and guest James Mackay00:45 Overview of Artisan Cask and bespoke cask ownership01:30 James Mackay's background and experience in premium Scotch03:00 Highlighting rare whiskies, including a 52-year-old grain whisky auction04:40 The story behind the auction-winning whisky and its significance05:15 Tasting notes and profile of the Mortlach 1991 Artisan Cask06:57 How non-typical casks create unique flavors08:00 Artisanal Spirits' approach to cask selection and individual character10:40 The nose and palate of the Mortlach cask and approachability for bourbon drinkers11:26 The ownership process: sampling, aging, and bottle logistics12:54 Ownership intimacy: tasting samples and choosing bottling time14:26 Personal stories about cask ownership and its lasting impressions15:50 Tasting experience and glassware preferences16:42 Exploring Bunnahabhain 1989 and complexity from long maturation18:36 Cask management and secondary maturation processes20:18 Impact of re-racking and depth of whisky development22:42 Specifics on cask types: refill bourbon, sherry, and their influence24:38 Pairing whiskey with desserts and cocktails25:28 The social aspect of ownership: exclusive events and community26:38 High-net-worth audience and the premium experience27:09 Scotch in cocktails and regional diversity31:03 The nuances of peated Islay whiskies and aging effects34:01 The uniqueness of a special peated Islay cask36:14 The evolution of peat profiles over long aging periods38:27 Using cask-strength Scotch in premium cocktails39:20 Choosing a "desert island" cask for endless refills48:01 The partnership process with Artisan Cask: minimum investment and next steps50:21 Entry point and pricing details for exclusive cask ownership53:19 Final thoughts, thanks, and future meet-ups
On July 1, the United States declined to renew CUSMA, the North American trade agreement that currently covers roughly 90% of Canadian exports, starting the review process that could ultimately lead to its expiration in 2036.The U.S. has signaled it expects an "entry fee" of concessions before serious negotiations begin. Canada has already made one major concession by cancelling its Digital Services Tax in an effort to restart talks—but negotiations stalled again anyway.Meanwhile, the United States and Mexico have now held their third round of trade talks, while Canada has yet to begin its first.This isn't a Trump episode or a Carney episode.

Welcome back to The Bourbon Road, airing from the Bourbon Road Bar in Simpsonville, Kentucky. This week Jim Shannon rejoins co-host Todd after a week away, and the two dive into a four-bottle lineup that spans continents, traditions, and corn colors. The session opens with a pair of Japanese-influenced whiskeys before pivoting to a high-rye Kentucky icon and a blue corn single barrel that rounds out one of the more eclectic tasting mats the show has assembled. On the Tasting Mat: - Bardstown Bourbon Company Distiller's Reserve – Mars Single Malt Japanese Blend: A 109.8-proof collaborative release blending 69% Kentucky 10-year bourbon (74 corn / 18 rye / 8 malted barley), 8% Kentucky 16-year bourbon (75 corn / 13 rye / 12 malted barley), 20% Mars Komagatake 5-year 100% malted barley, and 3% Mars Shinshu 5-year 100% malted barley. The Japanese whiskeys were co-aged with the Kentucky bourbons in barrel for a full year in Kentucky rather than merely finished. Available in 375ml at an MSRP of $100. The nose opens with bright orchard fruit, plum blossom, and a floral spring-day quality. On the palate it delivers concentrated, intense flavor with a mid-palate tingle, rich dark plum, orange marmalade, honeydew, and a savory undertone riding alongside well-integrated oak. *(00:02:52)* - Yokai Small Batch Bourbon (Mugen Spirits, 3rd Release): A 117-proof small batch aged 7–8 years, produced by Louisville-based Mugen Spirits, co-founded by Kojin Tashiro and Justin Delaney. The distillate is sourced from Bardstown Bourbon Company. Labels are created by a Japanese artist, and the name draws from Japanese folklore creatures. MSRP $99.99. The nose is classic and inviting — vanilla cream, cherry, and butterscotch caramel. The palate surprises with intensity: big flavors up front transitioning to a smokier, oakier back palate, with a notable red hots-style sizzle on the sides and rear of the mouth, hints of candy green apple, and a lingering almond nuttiness. *(00:12:52)* - Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon: A cask-strength expression bottled at approximately 126.6 proof, blending 70–80% of Willett's high-rye mash bill (52 corn / 38 rye / 10 malted barley) with 20–30% of their traditional mash bill (72 corn / 13 rye / 15 malted barley), aged 4–5 years across roughly 50-barrel batches. MSRP $65. The nose is unmistakably Willett — spiced gumdrops, menthol, and grain from the pot still, balanced by sweet ethanol appropriate to its proof. On the palate, a bold upfront spice bite gives way to root beer float, Maraschino cherry, whipped cream, and a sassafras-like hound quality, with the finish fading a touch quicker than the powerful front palate suggests. *(00:27:44)* - Bluegrass Distillers Blue Corn Single Barrel Bourbon (7 Year): A single barrel expression bottled at barrel strength, 129 proof, from Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky. The mash bill is 70% blue corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, aged 7 years. MSRP $70, available at the distillery. The nose is subdued and corn-forward with a light graininess and a hint of blueberry. The palate opens up considerably: buttery and pastry-forward with blueberry hand-pie character, a glazed pastry quality, burnt orange citrus notes, and a slow, warming burn. The finish is notably long and satisfying, distinguishing it from the more front-loaded expressions on the mat. *(00:34:29)* Jim and Todd close out the episode with a reminder about their upcoming Roadie gathering at the Frankfurt Bourbon Society on August 22nd from 5–8 PM. Entry is $5 (temporary FBS membership) and requires a Bourbon Road member ID card — sign up free at TheBournonRoad.com to get yours and RSVP through the Roadie Bar event calendar. Expect a room full of sample bottles, Frankfurt Bourbon Society members, door prizes, and good company. Whether you're a local Kentucky Roadie or making a bourbon trail weekend of it, come find Jim and Todd and raise a glass in person.
Prayer always makes an impact. Moshe's prayer was exceedingly powerful and made a supercharged impact. But all of Moshe's prayer, and all of his pleading, and all of his incessant Divine entreatment did not succeed in getting God to change his decree barring Moshe from entering the Land. Moshe's 515 prayers was unable to reverse […]
The US military needs cheaper, more scalable unmanned systems, and it's paying small businesses and even individual engineers to build them. I pulled real, open opportunities from DIU.mil and SBIR.gov to show you exactly what the government is funding right now, including drone swarm software, counter-drone interceptors, low-cost autonomous aircraft, and a long-range listening device for human intelligence, with some contracts paying up to $300,000 just for a feasibility study. I also break down the overlooked SBIR/STTR strategy that can put you ahead of most of the competition before you ever submit a proposal.Get the GovClose Certification: https://www.govclose.com/sales-certificationOur students learn the government contracting skills to :1.

Entry-level jobs provide a special window into the wider changes we'll see to job design and skill development. In this episode of Meet the Leader, Peter Brown of PwC explains how entry-level roles are transforming and breaks down new research on what employers really want from entry-level workers now. He also shares how these roles can continue to serve as training grounds for career skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and relationship building and why a thoughtful redesign of these roles will be key to future leadership development. Top names from our Chief People Officer community also share the advice new grads need to know in a fast-changing job market. Key takeaways: The most dire headlines about entry-level jobs are not yet backed up by data. Employers are increasingly prioritizing applied experience and skills over degrees alone. Employers are expecting more 'seniorized' skills earlier. New grads should focus on outcomes rather than tasks and look for ways to build human skills on purpose. Peter Brown is PwC's global workforce leader and a co-author of the World Economic Forum report Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Entry-Level Work.

Want to actually build agents and RAG systems like the ones I mention in this episode? That's exactly what we do inside Parsity's AI engineering program: https://parsity.io/ai-devI've been coding for nearly 12 years, I own and operate a coding bootcamp, and I've done over 1,000 free phone calls with people trying to break into tech. So this is the harsh advice I'd give you if you were my own kid. The stuff I can't really say on LinkedIn without getting flamed by people who've never worked a day in tech.The market for juniors is rough right now. That part is true. But most people trying to break in are doing the exact same thing as everyone else: building the same to-do app, obsessing over green dots on their GitHub, slapping "passionate junior developer" on their resume, and smashing LinkedIn easy-apply 1,000 times. That's your competition. And it's beatable.In this episode:Why "look junior, act passionate, wait for someone to take a chance on you" is a losing strategyHow to build real, verifiable experience when you have none (start an LLC, get actual users, stop building toy apps)The one skill that actually matters now, and why "I use Claude" is table stakes, not a differentiatorWhy agents and RAG are still wide open. Even senior and staff engineers mostly aren't doing this yetWhere the jobs actually are (small businesses and startups are hiring, big tech is slashing) and how to find them off LinkedInThe LinkedIn search-ranking trick most people ignoreWhy your timeline might take 2, 3, even 4 years, and why the ROI math still makes it worth itStop outsourcing your brain to ChatGPT before you've even built the skillTake it all with a grain of salt. It's one opinion. But I'll never tell you to do something I haven't done myself or seen work firsthand.Free resources I mention:Parsity AI Engineering Program: https://parsity.io/ai-devFree 5-Day AI Advisory Board course (build agents + RAG hands-on): https://www.parsity.io/5-day-ai-advisory-boardFree RAG project (better than most paid ones): https://www.parsity.io/ai-with-ragThe agent project I mention: https://www.parsity.io/ai-agentGusto Small Business Jobs Report (hundreds of thousands of net new small-business jobs this year): https://gusto.com/resources/gusto-insights/smb-jobs-report-june-2026My video on the entry-level hiring collapse, "Entry-level jobs didn't disappear.

Lindsey Olin Graham (July 9, 1955 – July 11, 2026) was an American politician, attorney, and Air Force officer who represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate from 2003 until his death in 2026. He was one of the most influential Republican senators of his era, particularly on national security, judicial nominations, and foreign policy. Early Life Graham was born in Central, South Carolina, where his parents owned a restaurant, pool hall, and liquor store. He became the first member of his family to attend college, earning both a bachelor's degree and a law degree from the University of South Carolina. While in school, he suffered the loss of both parents within about 15 months and took responsibility for helping raise his younger sister. Military Service After law school, Graham joined the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, serving as a military lawyer. He served on active duty from 1982 to 1989, including assignments in Germany, and later continued in the South Carolina Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. During his military career he reached the rank of Colonel and retired in 2015 after 33 years of service. Entry into Politics Graham began his political career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, serving from 1993 to 1995. In 1994, he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, becoming the first Republican elected from that district since Reconstruction. During his time in the House, he gained national attention as one of the House managers who prosecuted the impeachment case against President Bill Clinton in 1999. U.S. Senate Career Graham was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002 and took office in January 2003. He won reelection in 2008, 2014, and 2020. Throughout his Senate career he served on several powerful committees, including Judiciary, Appropriations, Budget, and Environment and Public Works. He also chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and later the Senate Budget Committee. Key Political Positions Graham became known for: Strong support for a robust U.S. military and interventionist foreign policy. Advocacy for American support of allies such as Ukraine and Israel. Leadership on judicial confirmations, including helping advance the confirmations of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Relationship with Donald Trump One of the most notable aspects of Graham's career was his evolving relationship with Donald Trump. During the 2016 Republican presidential primary, Graham strongly criticized Trump, but after Trump's election, however, Graham became one of his closest allies in Congress and frequently advised him on foreign-policy and judicial matters. Legacy His supporters remember him as a skilled legislator, military veteran, and influential voice on national security. Critics often challenged his changing political alliances and hawkish foreign-policy positions. Nevertheless, he remained one of the most recognizable and consequential Republican senators of the early 21st century Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Lindsey Olin Graham (July 9, 1955 – July 11, 2026) was an American politician, attorney, and Air Force officer who represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate from 2003 until his death in 2026. He was one of the most influential Republican senators of his era, particularly on national security, judicial nominations, and foreign policy. Early Life Graham was born in Central, South Carolina, where his parents owned a restaurant, pool hall, and liquor store. He became the first member of his family to attend college, earning both a bachelor's degree and a law degree from the University of South Carolina. While in school, he suffered the loss of both parents within about 15 months and took responsibility for helping raise his younger sister. Military Service After law school, Graham joined the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, serving as a military lawyer. He served on active duty from 1982 to 1989, including assignments in Germany, and later continued in the South Carolina Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. During his military career he reached the rank of Colonel and retired in 2015 after 33 years of service. Entry into Politics Graham began his political career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, serving from 1993 to 1995. In 1994, he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, becoming the first Republican elected from that district since Reconstruction. During his time in the House, he gained national attention as one of the House managers who prosecuted the impeachment case against President Bill Clinton in 1999. U.S. Senate Career Graham was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002 and took office in January 2003. He won reelection in 2008, 2014, and 2020. Throughout his Senate career he served on several powerful committees, including Judiciary, Appropriations, Budget, and Environment and Public Works. He also chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and later the Senate Budget Committee. Key Political Positions Graham became known for: Strong support for a robust U.S. military and interventionist foreign policy. Advocacy for American support of allies such as Ukraine and Israel. Leadership on judicial confirmations, including helping advance the confirmations of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Relationship with Donald Trump One of the most notable aspects of Graham's career was his evolving relationship with Donald Trump. During the 2016 Republican presidential primary, Graham strongly criticized Trump, but after Trump's election, however, Graham became one of his closest allies in Congress and frequently advised him on foreign-policy and judicial matters. Legacy His supporters remember him as a skilled legislator, military veteran, and influential voice on national security. Critics often challenged his changing political alliances and hawkish foreign-policy positions. Nevertheless, he remained one of the most recognizable and consequential Republican senators of the early 21st century Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
