On today's episode, Andy is joined by Bill Roggio—senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of The Long War Journal—for a wide-ranging conversation on national security, starting with the complexities of firearm ownership in the U.S. and shifting into an in-depth analysis of the global jihadist threat. They trace the evolution of groups like the Taliban and al-Qaeda, examining how these networks have resurged in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The discussion dives into U.S. military strategy, missteps in the War on Terror, and the enduring ideological mindset of jihadist fighters. Together, they unpack what went wrong, what the media often overlooks, and why public awareness of these threats is more important than ever.

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking with Bill Roggio from the Long War Journal about the Syrian military integrating al-Qaeda units into their ranks. This is a sticking point for President Trump, who demands that Syria disband these terrorist troops from its military. Some Washington figures believe that the Syrian government will keep them in check, but in all reality, it is overwhelmingly likely that these troops will bring their ideology with them and implement it within the ranks of Syria's military. The pair also discussed last night's murders of two Jewish people in Washington, D.C., by a lunatic who targeted them for their Jewish heritage.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program talking about the importance of interviews and open conversations, especially during a time of political transition. He expresses frustration with how the government handled COVID-era spending, arguing that trillions were wasted and taxpayers were disrespected. Brett emphasizes that Americans deserve to keep more of their earnings before the government takes its share. He criticizes both Democratic and Republican leaders for failing to be accountable and highlights how working-class citizens bear the brunt of poor policymaking. We're Joined by Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy to discuss his strong support for President Trump’s trade and immigration strategies, praising his efforts to renegotiate global trade deals and secure the U.S.-Mexico border. He criticizes past administrations for weak policies and defends Trump’s tough stance on China, calling it long overdue. Ruddy also highlights the recent success of Newsmax’s IPO, sharing that the network raised $300 million and is now trading under the symbol NMAX. He touts Newsmax’s growth across cable, streaming, and mobile platforms, emphasizing its commitment to independent, family-friendly programming. We're also joined by bestselling author and legal commentator Scott McEwen. Known for his military insight and hit book American Sniper to discuss recent shifts within the FBI and DOJ, expressing optimism that biased leadership is being replaced and public trust is being slowly restored. The conversation turns to cultural trends, where McEwen notes a resurgence of patriotism in Hollywood. He shares that there's growing interest in turning his work into films, reflecting an appetite for content that celebrates American values. we're also joined by Bill Roggio from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and Long War Journal to discuss the state of global terrorism and U.S. national security. Roggio warns that while public focus has shifted to threats like China and Russia, jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban remain active and dangerous—especially in places like Afghanistan, Somalia, and across Africa. He criticizes both Republican and Democratic administrations for sidelining the long fight against terrorism, citing recent decisions to negotiate with or lift sanctions on known terrorists. Roggio emphasizes that ungoverned regions in Africa are becoming breeding grounds for extremism, predicting that more countries could fall to jihadist influence. He urges U.S. policymakers to remain vigilant, stressing that these threats do not disappear just because they are out of the headlines. More analysis can be found at longwarjournal.org. Finally we're joined by by Gordon Chang (@GordonGChang) to discuss the Trump administration’s first 100 days—focusing heavily on the evolving U.S.–China relationship. Chang gives President Trump high marks for confronting China’s massive trade surplus and implementing tariffs to rebalance global trade in America's favor. He notes that although China could theoretically weaponize its U.S. debt holdings, doing so would hurt its own economy. Chang warns that China is retaliating through less conventional means—highlighting Beijing’s past interference in American civil unrest, including evidence of counterfeit currency, weapons parts shipments, and TikTok propaganda during the 2020 George Floyd protests. He believes China is using similar tactics today, especially in fueling pro-Hamas content and possibly stirring campus protests. With Trump building trade alliances to isolate Beijing, Chang stresses that America must remain vigilant against China’s economic and psychological warfare.

Last week, the New York Times ran an article(?) called “Is Afghanistan's Most-Wanted Militant Now Its Best Hope for Change?” (SPOILER: NO!) and with the subtitle: “Sirajuddin Haqqani has tried to remake himself from blood-soaked jihadist to pragmatic Taliban statesman. Western diplomats are shocked — and enticed.” Yes, really.To unpack (/eviscerate) the piece, Bill and Will Selber are joined by — drumroll, please — Long War Journal- and Generation Jihad-OG, Tom Joscelyn. They read it so you don't have to.

Tune in here to this Monday edition of the Brett Winterble Show!   Brett kicks off the program by discussing how the Harris campaign has been in disarray since its debate strategy unraveled. Tomorrow night marks the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. This will be the second debate of the year, but you probably remember how the first one went for Joe Biden. The Harris campaign had pushed for fully open mics during the debate, expecting to secure that arrangement. Now, it seems that the Harris team is preemptively blaming Joe Biden's camp for any potential issues that could arise from Kamala's difficulty in talking over or interrupting Trump.  Later in The Show Brett is Joined by Bill Roggio from the Long War Journal to discuss the recent release of a report on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, led by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The conversation highlights the chaotic nature of the withdrawal, the poor planning and execution by the Biden administration, and the long-standing issues that contributed to Afghanistan's collapse well before the withdrawal was announced. Roggio, who testified before the committee, criticizes the limited scope of the investigation and emphasizes that the collapse was the result of years of failures by both Republican and Democratic administrations.   Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT joins this Monday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo discuss the recent passing of James Earl Jones, celebrating his legendary roles in movies like Coming to America, Field of Dreams, and The Lion King, along with his memorable work as the longtime voice of CNN.

Bill is joined by Long War Journal regular and long-time friend of the show Edmund Fitton-Brown to talk about the Houthis. If you're here, you've heard of them — but how much do you actually know about them? What is their relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran? Why are they in Yemen? Edmund previously served as the United Kingdom's Ambassador to Yemen, a role which required him to negotiate and spend a significant amount of time in close quarters with Houthi leaders. He details some of his interactions with them and how the experience shapes his understanding of the region today.

On November 8, 2023, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs conducted a closed-door interview with Zalmay Khalilzad, the Former Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation and master architect of the Doha Agreement which cemented the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.Many items of interest came up during the marathon meeting, including Long War Journal. If you know, you know.Bill poured over transcripts of the nearly ten hours-long interview, and he had help from none other than LWJ OG Tom Joscelyn.Bill and Tom discuss the highlights.

Think Again."They debunk the latest example of President Biden's insistence that al Qaeda no longer has a presence in Afghanistan and discuss how U.S. rejection of intelligence is neither new nor at odds with its dangerous habit of disconnecting dots pertaining not least of all to al Qaeda.
