Podcasts about McCain

Hegseth's $37 Billion Ask. Three Weekend KIA Troops Identified. Media Blitz Pod. Arizona is where the MAGA machine keeps breaking its teeth, and this episode explains why. Paul Rieckhoff files a rapid recap from inside 30 Hudson Yards after two hours in the Hegseth hearings and a night of primary results — with 34% of Arizona voters registered independent (more than Democrats), a Trump-aligned Andy Biggs winning the GOP nomination while still refusing to admit Trump lost in 2020, and Cindy McCain openly fundraising for the Democratic incumbent Katie Hobbs. It's McCain's revenge, it's a preview of the general, and it's a warning about where the money is about to flood. From there Paul widens the aperture: Pete Hegseth's $37 billion ask on Capitol Hill, Chairman Dan Kane on the record, three troops killed in and around the Iran war whose names deserve to be spoken, and a Republican war chest that now sits $541 million ahead of the Democrats. The primary system is broken, campaign finance is broken, and both parties are pushing more extreme candidates while the actual American middle — independents, veterans, mavericks — gets treated like an ATM. If you want to understand where 2026 is actually being decided, it's not in a party HQ. It's in Arizona. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Have you ever wondered why the angel Gabriel responded so strongly to Zechariah's doubt?In Luke 1, Zechariah receives incredible news: after years of waiting, he and Elizabeth will have a son who will prepare the way for the Messiah. But instead of responding with faith, Zechariah responds with doubt. Gabriel's response wasn't simply about one question—it revealed the importance of trusting God's promises and His perfect timing.In this message, guest speaker Pastor Adam McCain from Hill City Church and Overseer of Global Ministers Network shares practical wisdom for anyone waiting on God.You'll discover how to:Trust God's timing instead of your own.Stop trying to control the "how" and "when."Remain faithful while God develops your character.Refuse to make villains out of people you think are in your way.Guard your words so they align with God's promises.Even when God's timing doesn't make sense, His promises will come true at the proper time.Scripture: Luke 1:5–20 (NIV)If this message encouraged you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to trust God's timing today.#Faith #Luke1 #TrustGod #GodsTiming #WaitingOnGod #Zechariah #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #OverflowChurch #PastorAdamMcCainSupport the show

Chuck Todd devotes much of this episode to a rich, personal reflection on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham at 71 — a figure who can only be understood if you separate the ideologues from the pure politicians, because Graham was unambiguously the latter. Graham always wanted to be in the middle of the Republican Party, treated his Senate seat as something as precious to him as a spouse, and was a genuine political creature who could nonetheless work with everyone, partnering with both Trump and Obama across his career. Chuck shares personal memories — interviewing Graham alongside John McCain, the two of them giving outsized attention to the Steele Dossier; Graham losing his parents in his 20s and raising his 13-year-old sister; even reassuring Chuck’s own wife about her worries over Trump — and argues that Graham, for all his capitulations, actually served as one of the few moderating forces on Trump. He lays out the very real political fallout: Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General is now in serious jeopardy, Graham leaves a massive vacuum in the GOP conference, and his South Carolina seat could actually be competitive for Democrat Annie Andrews if the Republican primary lurches far enough to the right. From there Chuck draws a series of parallels between American and British politics — Labour returning to power on a promise of competence and stability, Nigel Farage (like Trump) trying to convert political fame into personal wealth, and the satirical candidate "Count Binface" holding up a mirror to a political culture that has become pure theater — musing, only half-jokingly, that America could use its own Count Binface. Chuck closes on a sober note about the U.S.-Israel relationship, which he believes is heading for a real retreat: he recalls how close the region came to a two-state peace two decades ago, how the collapse of that moment allowed radicalism to escalate on both sides until each could argue the other doesn't want peace, and points to Rahm Emanuel's recent speech in Israel — warning that Israel must articulate a vision for what comes after the war or risk isolating itself from younger and moderate Americans — as the sound of someone trying to save a political center that vanishes the moment people conclude moderates don't have answers. Then, John Morgan — founder of Morgan & Morgan, one of the largest personal injury firms in the country & author of "Life is Luck: Lessons From a Paperboy and How to Improve Your Luck" joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation about civil litigation, the failures of government regulation, and his plan to launch a third party in Florida. Morgan makes the case that civil litigation has grown precisely because government has failed to regulate — social media is a genuine threat to human wellbeing (especially for children), monopolies are squeezing consumers, and processed foods, he argues, are the new tobacco: extremely harmful and ripe for legal reckoning. He offers a candid, colorful assessment of his former firm member RFK Jr. — "smart and crazy," a man who falls down some rabbit holes but also champions legitimate causes — and walks through the thorny reality that vaccine makers enjoy total indemnity while sovereign immunity exists in some form in all 50 states. Morgan is refreshingly honest about the ethics of his own industry, arguing that ads gloating about settlement numbers are a mistake because the real goal of a settlement is to give someone back something they lost, not to celebrate a payday. The heart of the conversation is Morgan's plan to launch a new third party in Florida called "Common Ground," rooted in his conviction that the two-party system itself is what's fundamentally broken in America. Morgan argues that moderates should function as the tiebreakers in a polarized system — that picking up just a few seats could turn an uncommitted moderate bloc into a genuine fulcrum of power in Congress — and explains why he'd rather build something new than partner with the existing Forward Party. He handicaps Florida's political landscape with an insider's candor: Byron Donalds likely wins the governorship but it'll be close, the Charlie Crist party-switch playbook never worked, and he's genuinely unsure whether voters can find David Jolly credible after his own party change.. Morgan laments that too many people now enter politics for the pension and salary rather than public service, criticizes DeSantis for appointing cronies as university presidents, and argues age limits are overdue because government should be about the future and very few politicians remain effective past 70. Along the way he explains why he thinks Texas Democrats fielded a more viable ticket than Florida's (James Talarico, he says, simply has "it"), why Andy Beshear won in Kentucky, why charter schools are about money rather than choice, and why DeSantis's property tax proposal could become a Brexit-style case study in voters making decisions that make no sense once the consequences arrive. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to break down the messy build up and coalitions involved in the Spanish civil war, and what lessons modern America can take from it. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and make a proposal for a change to the baseball Hall of Fame.

Chuck Todd devotes much of this episode to a rich, personal reflection on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham at 71 — a figure who can only be understood if you separate the ideologues from the pure politicians, because Graham was unambiguously the latter. Graham always wanted to be in the middle of the Republican Party, treated his Senate seat as something as precious to him as a spouse, and was a genuine political creature who could nonetheless work with everyone, partnering with both Trump and Obama across his career. Chuck shares personal memories — interviewing Graham alongside John McCain, the two of them giving outsized attention to the Steele Dossier; Graham losing his parents in his 20s and raising his 13-year-old sister; even reassuring Chuck’s own wife about her worries over Trump — and argues that Graham, for all his capitulations, actually served as one of the few moderating forces on Trump. He lays out the very real political fallout: Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General is now in serious jeopardy, Graham leaves a massive vacuum in the GOP conference, and his South Carolina seat could actually be competitive for Democrat Annie Andrews if the Republican primary lurches far enough to the right. From there Chuck draws a series of parallels between American and British politics — Labour returning to power on a promise of competence and stability, Nigel Farage (like Trump) trying to convert political fame into personal wealth, and the satirical candidate "Count Binface" holding up a mirror to a political culture that has become pure theater — musing, only half-jokingly, that America could use its own Count Binface. Chuck closes on a sober note about the U.S.-Israel relationship, which he believes is heading for a real retreat: he recalls how close the region came to a two-state peace two decades ago, how the collapse of that moment allowed radicalism to escalate on both sides until each could argue the other doesn't want peace, and points to Rahm Emanuel's recent speech in Israel — warning that Israel must articulate a vision for what comes after the war or risk isolating itself from younger and moderate Americans — as the sound of someone trying to save a political center that vanishes the moment people conclude moderates don't have answers. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to break down the messy build up and coalitions involved in the Spanish civil war, and what lessons modern America can take from it. He also answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and make a proposal for a change to the baseball Hall of Fame. From the opening whistle to the final kick.

DC EKG with Joe Grogan Episode 137: Tax Expenditures, 340 B Drug Pricing, and Kidney Donation Reform Air Date: June 15, 2026 Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Joe Grogan sits down with Dr. Ike Brannon, President of Capital Policy Analytics and Senior Fellow at the Jack Kemp Foundation, to discuss hidden tax expenditures, the 340 B drug pricing program, and innovative solutions to the kidney shortage crisis. Dr. Brannon brings decades of Capitol Hill experience, including roles as chief economist of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and senior advisor to Senator Orrin Hatch. He and co-author Tony LoSasso recently published groundbreaking research in Health Affairs Forefront arguing that the 340 B drug pricing program should be classified as a hidden tax expenditure costing the federal government 15 to 20 billion dollars annually. The conversation covers how the 340 B program evolved from providing discounted drugs to uninsured patients into a massive subsidy for nonprofit institutions with little benefit to poor patients. Dr. Brannon explains how the same drug acquired at a 340 B discount often results in full commercial copays for patients. Joe and Dr. Brannon explore other problematic tax expenditures including the mortgage interest deduction, employer health insurance exclusion, and credit union tax breaks. The episode pivots to Dr. Branons passionate work on kidney donation reform. Forty-five thousand Americans die annually from end stage renal failure due to kidney shortage, disproportionately affecting African Americans. Dr. Brannon advocates for fully reimbursing kidney donors for all expenses. Key Topics340 B drug pricing program, tax expenditures, pharmaceutical discounts, nonprofit hospitals, mortgage interest deduction, kidney donation, end stage renal failure, organ shortage, entitlement reform, social security, Medicare, federal deficit, health economics Key Timestamps 0:00 Opening: What should be in a reconciliation bill?4:38 The 340 B drug pricing program explained13:54 How the 340 B discount does not reach patients20:13 Mortgage interest deduction: the most irritating tax break31:00 Prospects for reconciliation under Trump administration34:57 The kidney donation crisis: 45,000 deaths per year39:02 How kidney donation reimbursement would work40:00 Would you allow kidney sales?

The dashcam in Michael Fosler's truck was the one piece of evidence that could have objectively recorded the final encounter between Aaron Spencer and the man Spencer says he killed to protect his thirteen-year-old daughter. Detective Robbie McCain pulled the camera off the windshield without photographing it. Removed the SD card and viewed it on his personal computer — violating department protocol confirmed by his own commanding officer. Stored the camera in an untaped envelope in his office cabinet for over a year instead of the evidence room. Never logged it. Never documented it.The SD card disappeared somewhere between McCain's office and the Attorney General's forensics lab. When the AG's special agent opened the package, the card wasn't there. Twelve other SD cards were recovered across Fosler's house and truck in separate searches. None was the dashcam card. No copy of the card's contents was ever created. No record of what was on it exists.Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. documented every step in a nineteen-page order. He didn't call it negligence. He called it intentional. He found bad faith, a pattern of policy violations, and a due process violation under both federal and state constitutional law. He wrote that the dashcam footage was the only potential neutral record of what happened — because Spencer has a Fifth Amendment right not to testify and his daughter's testimony may be affected by trauma.Spencer shot and killed Fosler after finding him with his daughter. Fosler had been charged with 43 felonies involving the girl and was out on bond with a no-contact order. Spencer has maintained he was protecting his child. The murder charge was dismissed.Two days after Wilson signed the order, Sheriff John Staley — the thirteen-year incumbent Spencer defeated in the Republican primary — fired Detective McCain. The sheriff's office cited policy violations without confirming a connection to the dismissal. The prosecutor who pushed the case is retiring. Wilson flagged a one-month gap between when the sheriff's office says they shipped the camera and when the AG says they received it. The state called it clerical error. Wilson wasn't buying it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. had a choice of words. He chose "intentional." Not negligent. Not careless. Not unfortunate. He found bad faith, a pattern of policy violations, "the appearance of a coverup," and a due process violation under both the federal and Arkansas state constitutions. Then he dismissed the murder charge against Aaron Spencer. Two days later, the detective was fired.The nineteen-page order documents every step. Detective Robbie McCain removed a dashcam from Michael Fosler's truck without photographing it. Pulled the SD card and viewed it on his personal computer — violating the department's own protocol that electronic evidence goes to the AG's forensics unit untouched. Stored the camera in an untaped envelope in his office cabinet instead of the evidence room. None of it logged. None documented. The camera sat there for over a year before it was entered into evidence.The SD card vanished. When the AG's special agent opened the package, the card wasn't inside. Twelve other SD cards were found across Fosler's property. None was the dashcam card. No copy was ever made. No record of its contents exists. Wilson found a "reasonable possibility" the detective didn't see what he testified he saw.That dashcam was the only potential neutral record of what happened. Spencer has a Fifth Amendment right not to testify. His daughter's testimony may be affected by trauma. Without the card, the objective record is gone.Spencer killed Fosler after finding him with his thirteen-year-old daughter. Fosler had been charged with 43 felonies involving the girl and was out on bond with a no-contact order. Spencer has maintained he was protecting his child.Sheriff John Staley — the thirteen-year incumbent Spencer defeated in the Republican primary — fired McCain the day after the dismissal. Called it a policy violation. The prosecutor is retiring. Wilson flagged a one-month gap in the chain of custody the state called clerical error. Wilson wasn't buying it.

One detective. Eleven documented policy violations. A dashcam SD card that could have recorded everything — gone. And a judge who said the only appropriate response was to throw out the entire case.That's the core of Judge Ralph Wilson's 19-page order dismissing the second-degree murder charge against Aaron Spencer. Spencer — an Arkansas father and Army veteran — shot and killed Michael Fosler after finding the sixty-seven-year-old with his thirteen-year-old daughter. Fosler had been charged with 43 felonies involving Spencer's child and was free on a fifty-thousand-dollar bond with a no-contact order.The case turned on a dashcam from Fosler's truck. It was dual-facing — covering the front, the cab, and potentially the rear. Detective Robbie McCain removed it from the truck without photographing its position. He pulled the SD card and viewed it on his personal laptop. He stored the camera in an office envelope, not the evidence room, for over a year. When the AG's forensics unit finally received the camera, the card was missing. Wilson rejected the state's negligence defense and found bad faith.The ruling noted that the footage was the only potential neutral evidence of what happened that night. Spencer has a constitutional right not to testify. His daughter's testimony could be affected by trauma. Without the dashcam, there was no objective record. Wilson called his own remedy “extraordinary and extreme” — and used it anyway. Sheriff Staley terminated McCain the following day.An outside legal analyst breaks down the significance of this ruling — the language Wilson chose, the legal standard he applied, and what the bad faith finding tells us about how this case was investigated from the beginning.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The detective was fired. The prosecutor is retiring. The county clerk resigned months ago citing persecution. And at the center of it all is a nineteen-page judicial order that documents — in constitutional detail — how the most critical evidence in the Aaron Spencer murder case was mishandled, lost, and never accounted for.Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. found that Detective Robbie McCain violated the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office's own evidence policies in ways the court called "intentional." McCain removed a dashcam from Michael Fosler's truck without photographing or documenting it. Pulled the SD card and viewed it on his personal computer — a direct violation of department protocol that requires electronic evidence go untouched to the AG's forensics unit. Stored the camera in an untaped envelope in his personal office cabinet rather than the evidence room. Didn't log any of it. The camera wasn't entered into evidence for over a year. The SD card vanished and was never recovered.The judge heard testimony from McCain's own commanding officer confirming that every one of these actions violated policy. He heard from an expert witness who said McCain was specifically trained not to remove SD cards because of the risk of wiping data. He found a "reasonable possibility" that the detective didn't see what he claimed was on the card — because no copy or documentation was ever created. And he concluded that the cumulative pattern of violations gave "the appearance of a coverup."Two days after that order was signed, the sheriff's office fired McCain for "policy violations." The prosecutor who fought to keep the murder charge alive through his final filing is retiring this year without public explanation. The county clerk left before the primary, citing a hostile environment in her office. When the people inside a system start heading for the exits at the same time — and a judge has documented why — the departures aren't the story. What they're leaving behind is.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eleven failures. One detective. One missing SD card. One 19-page order from a judge who chose the most extreme remedy available — full dismissal.Judge Ralph Wilson's ruling in the Aaron Spencer case didn't stop at identifying problems. He catalogued a pattern: no photographs of the dashcam's position in Fosler's truck, no documentation in the incident report, no chain-of-custody record, no evidence log entry for over a year. Detective Robbie McCain pulled the SD card, viewed it on his personal laptop, put it back in the camera, and stored the whole thing in an untaped manila envelope in his office cabinet. Not the evidence room. His office.When the camera reached the AG's forensics unit, the SD card was gone. The state's argument was straightforward: this was negligence, not bad faith. Wilson rejected that outright. He noted that LCSO's own policy required electronic devices to be sent to the AG without manipulation — and that by McCain's own admission, this was the first time the department had ever seized a dashcam during an investigation.Spencer shot and killed Michael Fosler — the man charged with 43 felonies involving Spencer's daughter — after finding the sixty-seven-year-old with his child in the early morning hours. Fosler was out on bond with a no-contact order. Spencer called 911 afterward and has maintained he was defending his daughter.Wilson wrote that the dashcam was the only possible neutral record of what happened, because Spencer cannot be compelled to testify. He called the detective's conduct “so egregious” that dismissal was warranted. The day after the ruling, Sheriff John Staley fired McCain. An outside legal analyst walks through what this ruling says, what it means, and what it reveals about how evidence was handled from the start.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A circuit court judge just called law enforcement's conduct “so egregious” that he threw out the murder case against an Arkansas father. That language doesn't show up in rulings often. When it does, it means something went profoundly wrong.Judge Ralph Wilson's 19-page order found that Detective Robbie McCain — the lead investigator on the Aaron Spencer case — committed eleven separate violations of department policy while handling a dashcam recovered from the truck of Michael Fosler. Fosler was the sixty-seven-year-old man Spencer killed after finding him with his thirteen-year-old daughter. Fosler had been charged with 43 felonies involving Spencer's child and was out on bond with a no-contact order the night he was found with her.McCain pulled the SD card from the dashcam, opened it on his personal computer, viewed four videos, then stored the camera in an unmarked envelope in his office. Not the evidence room. He never documented the card's existence. He never photographed the camera's position. He never logged it into evidence for over a year. When the camera reached the AG's forensics unit, the card was gone.Wilson rejected the state's claim that this was negligence. He found bad faith. He wrote that the footage was the only potential neutral record of what happened that night and that its loss fatally impaired Spencer's ability to mount a defense. He also flagged a one-month gap between the sheriff's office shipping records and the AG's receiving records.Sheriff John Staley fired McCain the day after the ruling. An outside legal analyst breaks down what “so egregious” means in legal terms, how Wilson reached the bad faith finding, and why he chose the most extreme remedy available.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the wake of McCain closing down its Hastings vegetable processing plant, a group of Hawke's Bay growers are looking at whether they could take over the factory and save the industry. Hawke's Bay Tairawhiti reporter Alexa Cook reports.

The Peter Boyles Show - May 9, 2026 Hour 3: In this hour, the conversation continues with Orson Swindle and retired Major General Tru Eyre as the stories shift from surviving captivity to finally coming home. Swindle shares memories of returning from Vietnam after years as a POW, reconnecting with family, and the strange adjustment back to American life after living inside prison camps for nearly seven years. A big part of the hour centers on John McCain — what he was like as a fellow prisoner, the bond between POWs, and how those experiences shaped the rest of their lives. The hour has a more reflective tone than Hour 2, mixing humor, hard memories, and stories about friendship, survival, and what happened after the war finally ended.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Primary Production Select Committee is going to have a look into, well, primary production. Namely, the Hawke's Bay scenario of Heinz and McCain's, both of whom have announced closures and job losses. A briefing is different to an inquiry, just in case you are thinking the committee is going to come up with something tangible. This is the sort of sad handwringing we get into around bad news. The simple truth is some industries are undercut by consumer choice. In this case, the consumer likes cheap, and the cheaper the better. And part of the problem in first world countries is we like to pay people decent wages and that tends to add to the price. Supermarkets invent home brands and those brands undercut brands like McCain. Peaches from China outsell peaches from Hawke's Bay. But here is the issue for the committee – I assume they know all this. I know all this because it's not hard to know. So once they find all this out, they will also look at the impact on communities. I think I can help them here as well: it's not good. People losing jobs do one of several things; 1) Stop working, 2) Find a new job, 3) Move out of town. I note the two local mayors in Hawke's Bay have welcomed the briefing. Brilliant, but my question is, how does that help? No one likes any of this. We would all like Heinz and McCain to be thriving, but they are not. I bet Americans would like farmers to buy more cows and raise more beef, but they aren't doing that either. So they buy our beef at ever-increasing prices. Quality is a good game to be in, if you can sell it. It turns out in wine and beef and lamb, and maybe merino, we can. In peaches we can't. So the places that host the factories, that grow the fruit or the trees, and the places that put them into things like cans, flounder or struggle until they fail. Looking into a story told many times over, often in rural or provincial New Zealand, is not going to change a thing. One of the mayors said this should get to the bottom of why this is happening. I think I just told you that and what can be done differently. On that last part I wish them all the luck in the world. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are one win away from a playoff sweep, but the biggest story might be the J-Dub injury and what it means for OKC's championship hopes.

Hello to you listening in Dublin, New Hampshire! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Imagine this: It's February 1998. You are 89 years old. You have arthritis and emphysema. You live in a small town in New Hampshire. You laid to rest your husband of 65 years after caring for him with Alzheimer's the last 10 years of his life. Your best friend of 50 years has also died. Now what, asks your son? What will you do? I have an idea, you say. Money is the big divider between people and politics. The tycoons with the money are buying the politicians and making all the decisions. Someone has to tell the American people about the need for national campaign finance reform. I can do that. How, your son wants to know. I'll go on a walk. And so she begins getting in shape walking 2 miles a day, 5 miles a day, 10 miles a day, and carrying a backpack. After 7 months she declares herself ready to go on a walk and tells her son she is starting in Los Angeles, California. After collecting petitions on a beach in Los Angeles Doris Haddock, a.k.a. Granny D begins 14-month walk across America through California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Arkansas and on up to Washington, DC. She has no GoFundMe account or any real plan except to get out and talk to as many people as she can about the need for campaign finance reform. My friend Granny D eats with the people she walks with along the way, sleeps in a spare bedroom, on a couch or in a church basement. She gives talks about national campaign finance reform at rodeos, county fairs, schools, and local gatherings. 10 miles a day, every day, walking across America in her 90th year. By the time Granny D arrives in Washington, DC a blizzard has blocked traffic so she cross-country skies to the Capital to meet then Senators McCain & Feingold who sponsored the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act which will become law 2 years later in 2002. The primary purpose of the Act was to eliminate the increased use of so-called soft money to fund advertising by political parties on behalf of their candidates.     Of her walk Granny D always had her doubts; but she persisted. Here we are 25 years later and deeper in soft-money shit than she could have imagined thanks to the bought and paid for SCOTUS decision in Citizens United that equated money with free speech, kicked open the floodgates to a tsunami of dark money, and tilted political influence toward wealthy donors tycoons, and corporations.     I knew Granny D, we wrote letters back and forth. Sometimes I wonder: What was the point? What difference did 14 months of walking and talking do? I'll tell you. It did this: I'm still talking about her and the wild possibility that she actually realized. She was one Ordinary Person who took up a cause she believed in, talked to thousands of people as she walked across America in her 90th year and kept on talking until she died at the age of 100. Like every good story Granny D lives on to inspire, motivate, and remind each of us - young and old - what we are capable of, what we can achieve before and even after our 90th year.   Yes! we are Ordinary Persons standing shoulder to shoulder with other Ordinary Persons drawn together like filings to a magnet building an Army of Ordinary Persons to Free America, unbalance the status quo, and create a Citizen's Future of hope, dignity, and inclusion. We are the stories of light we struggle to write in these dark times and will be proud to share with those we leave behind when we walk on.   Story Prompt: Who are you? What is your declaration of wild possibility? How are you shaping the future for good? Write that story and share it out loud ! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Harrison McCain learned salesmanship by talking his way into a pharmaceutical job at 22, then spent five formative years under K.C. Irving, absorbing lessons in vertical integration, relentless deal-capture, and "management by suggestion." He quit with no plan, two newborn kids, and no income. His brother Bob noticed that New Brunswick potato farmers were shipping raw potatoes to Maine for processing into frozen fries, then buying the finished product back. The McCains pooled $100,000 in family money, assembled capital from five different sources without giving up equity, and built a plant on a cow pasture in Florenceville. The company's core strategy was to avoid competition entirely: enter markets where frozen fries didn't exist, prove the market by exporting first, hire locals, and only build a factory after the numbers justified it. The U.S. was the one market that scared Harrison, and he patiently waited 16 years before a $500 million acquisition of Ore-Ida's foodservice division finally cracked it. Along the way, Harrison nearly destroyed his most important customer relationship with McDonald's by telling their buyer he didn't need to tour his plant, a mistake that took years to repair. By the time he died in 2004, McCain Foods operated 57 factories across six continents, sold in 160 countries, and processed a million pounds of potato products every hour. ----- Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (01:03) The Offer (04:35) Learning From the Best (12:30) Time to Build (19:45) Going Global (27:57) The McDonald's Mistake (31:17) The Operating Principles (33:24) Florenceville: I Like it Here (36:10) Characteristics of an Entrepreneur ----- Upgrade: Get a hand edited transcripts and ad free experiences along with my thoughts and reflections at the end of every conversation.

Miranda Wilkins is filling in while Meghan McCain is still out on maternity leave, and this week she's joined by Ryan Girdusky and Yemisi Egbewole to break down the chaos coming out of Iran, the White House's wildly mixed messaging, and why so many voters still have no idea what the actual endgame is. They get into the growing divide inside the MAGA coalition over military action, why Marco Rubio suddenly looks like the most visible person in the administration, and whether JD Vance is actually the heir apparent or just the guy with the title. Then they dive into Kristi Noem's very obvious not-a-promotion, the absurd DHS spending questions that helped tank her, and why her whole tenure felt more like cosplay than governing. They also touch on the latest Epstein mess, Bill Clinton being Bill Clinton, and wrap with a little palate cleanser courtesy of Sweet Brown, because truly, ain't nobody got time for that.

#894 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/894  Presented by: AVC Rig, Montana Fly Fishing Lodge, Fish The Fly, Patagonia Sponsors: https://www.wetflyswing.com/sponsors/    Long Island fly fishing isn't the first thing most people think of when they picture New York. Traffic, skyline, beaches maybe. But tucked behind all that is a network of spring creeks, salt marshes, kettle ponds, and over a thousand miles of shoreline that most anglers never see. In this episode, I sat down with Paul McCain, owner of River Bay Outfitters — the only dedicated fly shop on Long Island. Paul's been building community, guiding anglers, and chasing everything from native brook trout to stripers for decades. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/894
