Via de advocatuur belandt hij in de politiek als VVD-kamerlid. Hij is belast met de portefeuille Justitie en Veiligheid en heeft de vurige wens om de wereld te veranderen. Hoe heeft zijn culturele achtergrond invloed op zijn standpunten ten aanzien van het immigratie- en vluchtelingenbeleid. Ook hebben beide heren een stevige discussie over de verschillende moties die Ellian heeft ingediend, zoals het aantal advocaten beperken van verdachten die in de EBI (Extra Beveiligde Inrichting) of AIT (Afdeling Intensief Toezicht) verblijven. En dat Ellian het transport naar de rechtbank voor verdachten wil beperken.

Some of President Joe Biden's remarks on his 2024 plans, the pandemic, and Taiwan depart from what the White House has said. To break down Biden's “60 minutes” interview, we sit down with Florida Congresswoman Kat Cammack. The Biden administration returns a kidnapped American home in exchange for releasing a Taliban prisoner. The prisoner swap took place in Kabul Afghanistan earlier Monday. Among the last of Congress's priories ahead of the midterms is to change the way electoral votes are tallied. The House is taking action this week on a bill that members say is meant to prevent another Jan. 6. The Texas city of El Paso is running out of resources to house illegal immigrants, as Texas plans to send more illegal border crossers to Democrat-run cities throughout the country. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has implemented new guidelines for how transgender minors will be regarded in his state.

On Saturday, US President Joe Biden announced that the United States had killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, current emir of al-Qaeda and longtime deputy to Osama bin Laden, in Kabul (Afghanistan). Zawahiri's death raises questions about the succession and the relevance of al-Qaeda in the current terrorist threat landscape, as well as Afghanistan's role following last year's rushed exit by Western forces. In this episode, Lucinda speaks with Hans-Jakob Schindler, the Senior Director at the Counter Terrorism Project. From 2001 until 2005, Hans headed the federal government of Germany's team investigating al-Qaida in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia. Between 2005 and 2011, Hans held the position of First Secretary Political Affairs and Liaison to the Security Forces at the German Embassy in Tehran. Acting as a special advisor to the ambassador, he led the embassy's crisis management team during the 2006 and 2009/10 disturbances in Iran.

On Episode 31 I'm joined by Photographer and military advocate, Kara Hackney who has dedicated her instagram page to bringing awareness and remembrance to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty and who are actively serving. After the events in Kabul Afghanistan in August 2021, Kara, like most of us, was disheartened at the unnecessary loss of life and the circumstances surrounding the entire evacuation process.  Kara was so hurt and angry that she almost vowed to get rid of social media completely.  It is truly an overwheeming and helpless feeling when it seems that there is nothing that can be done in such tragic circumstances but in true military fashion, and with true Marine grit, Kara decided to dedicate her social media to honoring the 13 killed in Kabul as well as survivors and others actively serving.  Kara herself is daughter to a Vietnam veteran and granddaughter to WWII veterans so a legacy of military service is a natural passion for her. In this episode we discuss ways we can keep the memory alive of those that were lost in Kabul and talk about the importance of supporting our military families.

In this episode, Matt speaks with MSgt Roy Campos about the Air Force Fire Protection Support given on Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) in Kabul Afghanistan in August 2021. Roy led the 13 person Fire Protection Quick Strike Team (QST) for 12 days in support of the Afghanistan evacuation and the largest human airlift in history. In the episode, he recounts the experience and highlights specific events during their time on HKIA. As a result of his leadership and the teams efforts, Roy received a Bronze Star Medal on March 31, 2022.

Tonight our very special guest is Darren Duguay, we met at the 8@8 on a Saturday morning at the YMCA in Moncton while running. We learn that Darren served in the military for 27 years and we want to thank Darren for all his service. We talk about Darren and his Boston Marathon runs and how a total team commitment got everyone through to the end. Then we get onto the 2013 Boston marathon when the bombs went off and how that affected Darren and the rest of the team. A moment in time a person would probably never forget. After leaving the Canadian Forces Darren went on a different path and he asks us some questions, such as how would an injury affect an individual or athlete, very interesting. Darren tells us that he was running in Kabul Afghanistan and sometimes while there it would get up as high as nearly 50 degrees celsius, Wow! Darren tells us he started running in his childhood and in his little community Darren faced a lot of trauma. While still young he was told he needed an inhaler because of his asthma. After a short period of time, Darren traded his inhaler for a pair of sneakers and that's where it all started. After the age of 45, Darren learned he was running to run away from his problems instead of facing them. The story Darren tells us is very inspiring and we believe everyone should listen and hear how a person overcame all to get to where he is today. There is no stopping Darren. We also get into Holistic fitness and Emotional Fitness ® and Darren explains this so well. He goes in-depth and part two is even more in-depth. Darren's talk is excellent and we hope you enjoy listening to this episode and part two as much as we did recording it.

Extra special bonus episode! We had the pleasure of interviewing Sarah Evans, Captain in the USAF. While on a deployment in Kabul Afghanistan in 2011/2012, she was diagnosed with Stage III Spindle Cell Osteosarcoma (bone cancer originating in left hip) and was medivac'd to Brooke Army Medical Center for treatment. Sarah underwent aggressive chemotherapy and radiation and eventually the amputation of her left leg at the hip in order for the best chance of survival. She has now been “cancer free” for 18 months, with a fairly good prognosis, but will continue being monitored for a few more years. Sarah has been crossfitting at Alamo Crossfit for four months now thanks to the non-profit Transition Possible which pays for wounded warrior scholarships to crossfit gyms in San Antonio.
