For many, flying on a plane to a faraway place is considered a luxury. But as violence was erupting in Afghanistan, being able to board a flight meant the difference between life and death — and an airline synonymous with the islands helped carry thousands to safety.

On the 88th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- talk about their recent experiences in evacuating from Hurricane Ida, and relate those stories back to Star Wars.

The events of 9/11 spurred our nation into a war that now, 20 years later, is coming to an end. It's been a long time coming. Christian takes to the streets, inquiring every-day people about their initial reaction to the war's end, how they perceive the job of the administration in the Afghanistan evacuation, and how this middle eastern conflict will be remembered. There's a myriad of opinions, thoughts, and ideas about how things have gone, or how they should have gone, and where we all go from here. These are the voices of those around us, and they deserve to be heard.

Romans 8:28 says "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Twenty years after the 9/11 terror attacks that murdered nearly three thousand people we are beginning to see 'the good' that God brought on that day. That someone like Christina Stanton, a regular New Yorker who ran for her life after the second plane came within 500 feet of her apartment balcony... would find a deeper, more real faith in Jesus Christ. That Peter Johansen, the director of Ferry Operations, would become God's agents in helping to rescue a half million people through a massive boat evacuation and how the two people who were strangers before 9/11, became friends. It was New York's version of Dunkirk, the mass evacuation of people stranded in what became a war zone on 9-11. The Coast Guard estimates 500 thousand people were taken off the Island in Lower Manhattan. The only way to New Jersey, or Staten Island or the closest ports of land, was by boat. It was the largest marine evacuation in history, surpassing Dunkirk, the rescue of Allied soldiers from the coast of France during World War II.  Sightseeing boats, catamarans, small boats, large boats, private boats. Johansen was the Senior Director of Ferry Operations for New York Waterway, when the attacks happened. The ferry boats normally handle 33,000 people a day. It wasn't enough on 9/11. The Coast Guard sent out a plea, "All available boats!" And they responded. The tugboats in Staten Island, Fishing boats in Sheepshead Bay, every boat was full, every run. People waited in line three or four hours. Stanton, her husband, and dog were also rescued. As she writes in her story, "We collapsed onto a bench... It felt so good to sit down. A wave of relief washed over me as we chugged away from the shore. After three hours of terror, we were off the island. We were alive." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Stanton and Johansen talk about NYC's boat evacuation, and their part in the testament to the power of the 'good' that is in our hearts. That evil will fail, that good will prevail.

Two weeks ago, Saints head coach Sean Payton was at a press conference, answering questions about preseason, when a reporter asked him if the team had a contingency plan for the storm that was forming off the Gulf Coast. Payton said it was the first he had heard about it. Twenty-four hours later, he and others were scrambling to evacuate players, staff, and family members from the city. The Athletic's Katherine Terrell joins us from the team's new (temporary) home in Texas to explain how things unfolded from there, and to discuss how players are doing on and off the field.Read Katherine Terrell's full story about the Saints' haphazard move:https://theathletic.com/2798305/2021/09/02/inside-the-saints-chaotic-move-to-dallas-as-hurricane-ida-rapidly-approached-new-orleans/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Allan and Darren begin this episode reviewing the frenzied two-week evacuation from Afghanistan. A logistical success or further evidence of a terrible failure? Do the events of the evacuation, which included an ISIS-K suicide bombing and a drone strike that killed civilians, in addition to the over 100,000 evacuated, change their assessment of the merits of withdrawal? What are Australia's obligations into the future? What will China's role be? The Australia-US alliance celebrates its 70th anniversary this week. Having recently updated his book on the history Australian foreign policy, Fear of Abandonment, how is Allan thinking about the role the alliance should be playing in Australian foreign policy today? Darren tries to inject some needed (in his view) international relations theory into public debates on the merits of the alliance. Moreover, Darren (along with co-authors Zack Cooper and Ashley Feng) has published a new report for the United States Studies Centre on the topic of geoeconomics and the alliance, and he explains its motivation and previews the argument. Allan wonders whether we need to hear more from the economics discipline in geoeconomic policy discussions, given that the stakes extend well beyond Australia's current focus—China's economic coercion. Darren notes that recent speeches from Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Defence Minister Peter Dutton highlight how economics and security are more deeply intertwined than ever. Given a spate of recent bilateral meetings and a big international trip now underway for the Foreign and Defence Ministers, Allan and Darren discuss Australia's diplomatic objectives for the rest of the year. Finally, on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, they each reflect on their personal memories of the event and what its enduring significance is for Australia in the world.

Mark's opening segment

Chatting today with Sayre Payne. Sayre has been working hard over the last few months to coordinate flights out of Afghanistan for many interpreters and their families. Started speeding up in July, got chaotic in August and now it's a totally different game. He gets into the background of why so many civilians and veterans no longer associated with the US government jumped in to help, the challenges they ran into on the ground and where he thinks this is going from here. Sayre was a Ranger-qualified Infantry Officer and served as a platoon leader for the entirety of a twelve month deployment to Zhari District, Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division's 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment during the troop surge of 2010-2011.

For this episode, we discuss our Top 5 rides that we would be not want to be stuck on...as in the ride stopped for either a long or short period of time possibly resulting in evacuation. Which rides would you not want to be stuck on? Which rides have you been stuck on? Let us know at show@magicourway.com. Your opinions are always welcome in our show. Seriously, every opinion is welcome.

Our friend is still there, fearing for her life.  What is going on in Afghanistan right now?  Laura shares Toobah's most recent experience as evacuations stall and no one really knows why. Pete helps us understand what it all means.  

The withdrawal from Afghanistan has been heavily criticized as a disorganized and chaotic mission. Amid this chaos, two U.S. congressmen who served in the U.S. military, Republican Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan and Democratic Rep. Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, carried out their own secret trip to Kabul to provide oversight on the U.S. government's evacuation efforts. Earlier this week, host Alex Hogan spoke to Congressman Peter Meijer of Michigan who is also a U.S. veteran, to discuss why he made the covert expedition to Afghanistan amid the evacuation, the realities he saw on the ground in Kabul that differed from the information being provided by the Biden administration and the unfortunate situation America found itself in being forced to collaborate with the Taliban to save U.S. lives. The conversation was too long and we could not include everything Rep. Peter Meijer had to say about the chaotic evacuation of Afghanistan. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear all of his thoughts and feelings toward what he described as an embarrassing and shameful position for the country and its citizens.

Year after year, wildfires have swept through Northern California's wine and dairy country, threatening the region's famed agricultural businesses. . Evacuation orders have become a way of life in places like Sonoma County, and so too have exemptions to those orders. Officials in the county created a special program allowing agricultural employers to bring farmworkers into areas that are under evacuation and keep them working, even as wildfires rage. It's generally known as the ag pass program. Reporter Teresa Cotsirilos investigates whether the policy puts low-wage farmworkers at risk from smoke and flames. This story is a partnership with the nonprofit newsroom the Food & Environment Reporting Network and the podcast and radio show World Affairs. Then KQED's Danielle Venton introduces us to Bill Tripp, a member of the Karuk Tribe. Tripp grew up along the Klamath River, where his great-grandmother taught him how controlled burns could make the land more productive and protect villages from dangerous fires. But in the 1800s, authorities outlawed traditional burning practices. Today, the impact of that policy is clear: The land is overgrown, and there has been a major fire in the region every year for the past decade, including one that destroyed half the homes in the Karuk's largest town, Happy Camp, and killed two people. Tripp has spent 30 years trying to restore “good fire” to the region but still faces resistance from the U.S. Forest Service and others. Twelve years ago, the Forest Service officially changed its policy to expand the use of prescribed burns, one of the most effective tools to mitigate massive, deadly wildfires. But Reveal's Elizabeth Shogren reports that even though the agency committed to doing controlled burns, it hasn't actually increased how much fire it's using to fight fire.The Forest Service also has been slow to embrace another kind of good fire that experts say the West desperately needs: managed wildfires, in which fires are allowed to burn in a controlled manner to reduce overgrowth. To protect the future of the land and people – especially with climate change making forests drier and hotter – the Forest Service needs to embrace the idea of good fire.

The Biden administration said Tuesday that the U.S. was on pace to meet an August 31 deadline to fully withdraw from Afghanistan, but that "contingency plans" are being developed in case they do not complete evacuations in time. Some Afghan evacuees will wind up in America, where one of their main destinations is the Seattle area. NPR's Martin Kaste reports on the resettlement effort ramping up there. President Biden made the decision not to extend evacuations despite calls to do so from some members of his own party. NPR's Asma Khalid examines what Biden's decisions on Afghanistan reveal about his view of America's role in the world.

Reports are coming out that the Biden administration told Americans in Afghanistan that they must pay $2,000 to evacuate from the Kabul airport. Even though federal law requires payment from evacuees, the Biden administration said in a statement that they won't charge Americans leaving Afghanistan. The Taliban now has control over aircrafts and thousands of weapons to include high-tech equipment that was funded by the U.S. government. Is President Biden aware? As evacuations continue in Kabul, reports say that flights leaving the airport are below full capacity. Is the Taliban blocking the evacuation efforts? The U.K. Parliament held President Biden in contempt for his decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan and PM Boris Johnson was trying to get a hold of Biden for almost 40 hours. Is the Biden administration losing respect from other world leaders? The site, OnlyFans, will ban sexual-explicit material and content creators aren't happy about this.
