My guest is DJ Shipley, a former Tier 1 operator Navy SEAL and now a top public educator on how to build mental and physical health and reach top-level performance in any endeavor. DJ's life is one marked by extraordinary strivings, wins, setbacks and comebacks that together have shaped his approach to overcoming challenges of all kinds and to daily life. DJ explains a regimen of clear, practical steps and a mental stance that can allow anyone—male, female, young or old—to build extreme resilience of mind and body and to be successful in family and work. We also discuss his experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting from. The tools DJ describes to “stack small wins” and to be ultra-intentional about your mindset will be of immense benefit to anyone wishing to achieve the best version of themselves.

It's also looking to eliminate existing channels to report abuse and harassment within the ranks and implement random polygraph tests.We talk through all these changes, how they affect our troops, and what they mean for civilians.Find more of our programs online.

In this episode, I explore Norman Rush's Mating, focusing on the chapter “Guilty Repose” and the section “Weep for Me.” Through the narrator's encounter with the waterfall, I unpack themes of noise, solitude, mediocrity, and companionship — connecting her revelations to my own experiences with silence, striving, and the human need for connection.Discussion Highlights:How “the roar penetrates you” mirrors our craving for sensory overwhelm — music, crowds, even chaos — to quiet the mind's constant chatter.The painful beauty of solitude eroding, and what it means to reconnect with ourselves after long avoidance.The “Weep for Me” moment as an honest confrontation with buried sadness, surfacing only when the world finally goes quiet.The narrator's fear of mediocrity and how society equates “average” with “unacceptable,” fueling endless striving.The final revelation — “If you had a companion you would stay where you are” — as a call to seek steadiness, humility, and shared presence over transcendence.
On today's show, Josh breaks down the so-called “partial government shutdown” and exposes what Democrats are still demanding you pay for — even after Republicans already passed a bill to stop it. He lays out the only real way the war in Gaza ends and explains why Hamas has zero intention of making peace. And Josh backs Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's mission to cut the bloat, strip away the nonsense, and return the military to what it's supposed to be: strong, lean, and focused on winning.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the nation moves farther away from God, the U.S. military seems to be as well. Norse paganism, also known as heathenry, is a polytheistic religion focused on the worship of Norse gods like Odin and Thor. The trends we are seeing in the military leave us troubled, and we caution our armed service members to stay away from this false religion. This week we also hear letters from the audience that detail demonic oppression in the form of dreams. How should Christians deal with these attacks?

This past week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed top U.S. commanders at the Marine Base in Quantico, Virginia, calling for a renewed focus on discipline and elevated standards in basic training. He complained that the military has spent the past few years putting too much focus on being “politically correct” or “woke”. He announced that the mindset was coming to an end. Earlier this week, Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Bob Maginnis joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to share his take on the speech and weigh in on Sec. Hegseth's plan to restore higher military standards. Maginnis agreed with the need to focus less on ‘political correctness' and put more emphasis on readiness. The military analyst also discusses the multiple global threats our military is facing and how our country must adapt to the coming national security threats that artificial intelligence advancements will bring. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveLast week, Wisdom of Crowds philosopher-in-residence Samuel Kimbriel wrote an essay about the political use of Christianity within MAGA, contrasting the sincerity of Erika Kirk's piety with the propagandistic use of the Lord's Prayer in a recent military recruitment video. Shadi Hamid reflected on Samuel's piece and more, writing a column about it for the Washington Post. Today, we bring both men together to discuss the central questions of both articles: do Christianity and politics mix?Damir Marusic adds his own take on the debate, trying to dissuade both Samuel and Shadi from thinking that there is a “true” Christianity that can be saved from the corrupting influence of political power. Shadi says that he does not care whether there is a true version of Christianity: what he wants is a healthy, forgiveness-centered version of Christianity to triumph politically, that is what is good for America. Meanwhile, Samuel talks about the inherent tension between living a radical faith while also being politically successful.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Shadi discusses the Islamic idea of politics as a “site of imperfection”; Samuel explains why he is “especially attracted to acts that happen under conditions of scarcity”; Damir explains why he would not want any of his Christian friends to become powerful politicians; the three discuss the difference between the politics of conviction and the politics of responsibility; and more!Reading and Watching:* Shadi, “Two Versions of Christianity Battle for America's Soul” (Washington Post).* Sam, “What Christianity Isn't” (WoC).* Military recruitment video w/Our Father (X).* Erika Kirk speech at Charlie Kirk memorial (YouTube).* Matthew Rose, A World After Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical Right (Amazon).* Max Weber, “Politics As A Vocation” (Internet Archive).* Ezra Klein interviews Ta Nehisi Coates (New York Times).Free preview video:Full video for paid subscribers below:

DryCleanerCast a podcast about Espionage, Terrorism & GeoPolitics
On this week's Espresso Martini, Chris and Matt break down Pete Hegseth's speech at Quantico, where he and President Trump summoned 800 generals and admirals for what turned out to be a culture-war lecture on grooming standards and “wokeness.” They examine what it says about civil-military relations in Trump's second term and the risks in treating the armed forces as a political prop. Then they turn to the Secret Service's discovery of a massive SIM-card farm in New York linked to swatting threats and fraud, and what it reveals about the intersection of cybercrime, sabotage, and telecom vulnerabilities. From there, they look at how the US government shutdown is playing out inside the intelligence community—why frontline missions continue while contractors and support staff face furloughs that erode resilience. Finally, they discuss MI6's launch of a new dark-web tool called Silent Courier, designed to encourage potential sources to walk in virtually, and weigh the promises and dangers of this digital era of espionage.

Michael Wolff, author of four books chronicling Trump, joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to reveal Trump's madman plan for the government shutdown. Wolff explains how Trump turns congressional gridlock into an existential battle of dominance, using fear, chaos, and pain as weapons. From Military leaders frozen in place by Trump and Pete Hegseth's humiliating lecture to Trump's ostentatious White House ballroom construction, this episode exposes Trump's desperation to be respected. They outline how an unpredictable president turns a bureaucratic stalemate over the government's budget into a personal war, and exactly how he thinks he can win. Hosted on Acast.

Brad and Dan examine Pete Hegseth's recent gathering of generals, critiquing his “warrior ethos” rhetoric and highlighting the dangers of his speech that attacked DEI, questioned due process in sexual assault cases, and called for stricter religious and fitness standards in the military. They unpack his fat-shaming and fabricated claims, contrasting leadership with rulership in both Hegseth's and Trump's approaches, which lean on power rather than genuine leadership. The discussion expands to Trump's disturbing remarks about using American cities as military training grounds and framing citizens as enemies, alongside analysis of Project 2025, the looming government shutdown, and Russ Vought's strategy targeting blue states. Brad and Dan also spotlight Judge William G. Young's strong defense of pro-Palestinian speech and his rebuke of Trump's attacks on free expression. With themes of authoritarianism, executive overreach, and the critical role of resistance, the hosts call on listeners to stay informed, resist normalization of these tactics, and engage in the ongoing fight for democracy.

Today Joe is out but we have Tommy Carrigan filling in. Tommy takes on one of the most controversial and least-discussed issues in America: the use of our own military on U.S. soil. As the political pendulum swings, he asks a chilling question—what happens when the same machinery of power that's been used to suppress dissent suddenly turns against the other side? Domestic military deployment isn't just a theory; it's a real possibility, and Tommy breaks down how it could reshape our freedoms overnight. From there, he dives into the global battlefield. Billions of U.S. tax dollars have gone into developing weapons for the war in Ukraine, but the story doesn't end there. Tommy exposes how the military-industrial complex thrives on conflict, constantly innovating and testing new tools of war overseas while ignoring the crumbling security here at home. Finally, Tommy pulls back the curtain on a story the mainstream media won't touch: President Trump's push to secure rare earth minerals from Ukraine. These resources are critical to weapons manufacturing, and controlling them could mean the difference between military dominance and dependence on hostile nations. Strap in—this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the truth behind war, power, and the future of America.

This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump ranted to the assembled leadership of the U.S. armed forces about fitness, wokeness and the "war within." Hegseth told the generals and admirals that they were too fat, while low energy Trump gave a rambling speech about many things that included using American cities a "training grounds" for military operations. The brass didn't seem amused. In our latest, we give a history of military dissent and civilian-military relations from the Vietnam War era to the Iraq war and talk about Generals David Shoup, Anthony Zinni and Eric Shinseki. We also get into the politics of Trum, Hegseth and today's Pentagon. ——

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the bizarre Trump–Hegseth meeting with America's top generals. Instead of commanding respect, Trump rambled through grievances and half-baked ideas while Hegseth postured and pandered, leaving serious military leaders unimpressed. We explore the dangerous implications of a president alienating his own brass, how authoritarian rhetoric collides with sheer incompetence, and why this moment opens up a host of unsettling outcomes. Along the way we look at the government shutdown, a self-defeating Argentina bailout, and the larger picture of American decline before closing with some culture picks.

Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling joins the Beast's Hugh Dougherty to unpack the jaw-dropping spectacle at Quantico, where Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth addressed 800 top military leaders. Hertling breaks down how Military brass in the room really reacted when Trump rambled on about “dangerous cities” as training grounds, mocked rules of engagement, and praised a random World War II documentary made in the 50s. Hertling pulls no punches, calling the speeches “berating,” “embarrassing,” and dangerously out of touch with modern military standards. He explains why generals were silent, what U.S. allies and adversaries are thinking, and the legal and constitutional risks of Trump's orders. From the impact on troop morale to how Russia is exploiting the chaos, Hertling offers an inside look at a Commander-in-Chief unlike any before, and what it means for the military and the nation.

This week, Jason Kander is joined by Paul Rieckhoff, founder and executive director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, who is subbing in as host while Ravi travels, to break down Trump's disastrous speech in front of military generals after Pete Hegseth's “Warrior Ethos” address at Quantico, where senior commanders were summoned from across the world and greeted the remarks with stone-cold silence. They analyze Hegseth's social-media boast—“Today, we end the War on Warriors”—the awkward pauses when he expected applause, and the eerie lack of reaction from those in attendance. Kander and Rieckhoff also dive into Trump's rambling, partisan remarks that were wholly inappropriate for a military audience — including his calls to prepare military leadership to accept the use of combat troops against American citizens — and the deep questions that raises about civil-military norms. Plus, they explain the fallout from the government shutdown that began at midnight, which agencies remain open for essential functions, the White House's warning to agencies to prepare for mass firings, and what that uncertainty could mean for ordinary people.

In a deranged, demeaning, and dangerous speech to our nation's military leadership - officer and enlisted alike - Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump may have thought they could inspire the men and women of the military to switch their loyalties from the Constitution to a tyrant. They were dead wrong.The danger and dementia of Donald Trump was on full display as he addressed the leadership of America's armed forces. Trump tried to pit the military against the citizenry by saying the military should focus on "the enemy within." And he told them that they should use American cities as military "training grounds."If there was any lingering question about Trump unfitness to be commander in chief of the armed forces, he cleared that up with a speech that was as un-American as it was dangerous.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The federal government has shut down for the first time since 2019, with President Trump threatening mass layoffs and facing criticism for using government resources to blame Democrats. More than two million federal workers are bracing for uncertainty as the shutdown drags on, with some agencies warning employees they may not be brought back once it ends. And President Trump told top military commanders he wants to use troops against “enemies within” and plans to deploy National Guard forces to Democratic-led cities.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?
