Podcasts about Secret service

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Managing Editor Tyler McBrien and Senior Editors Anna Bower and Michael Feinberg to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Third Country's the Charm.” On Tuesday, the Supreme Court cleared the way—for the third time—for the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to “third countries” with which they have no connection, staying a lower court ruling that found the policy unlawful and agreeing to hear the case on the merits in December. The decision comes days after the administration quietly flew a group of Somali men—some with no criminal records, who had been held at Guantánamo Bay for a month after being told their plane was only stopping in Cuba to refuel—to Mogadishu, on a flight that departed hours after an appeals court made clear the third-country removal policy was blocked. It also comes as lower courts are increasingly finding the administration in contempt for violating their orders in deportation cases, and as the full D.C. Circuit weighs whether Judge James Boasberg can continue his contempt inquiry into last year's Alien Enemies Act flights. What does this pattern tell us about the administration's relationship with the courts? And how far it is willing to push its immigration agenda?“Here Comes the Bribe.” Last week, ProPublica revealed that, by late 2024, FBI anti-corruption agents believed they had enough evidence to seek a sweeping bribery investigation stemming from a defense contractor's illegal donations to Maine Senator Susan Collins and other members of Congress—only for the probe to die when the Trump administration gutted the FBI and Justice Department units that handle public corruption cases. Collins denies any wrongdoing and has called the contractor a liar, but the story has become a central issue in her tight reelection race. It's also just the latest in a string of stories raising questions about public integrity in and around the Trump administration, from the Putin-linked Russian oligarch that secretly bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding, to the Kash Patel- and Todd Blanche-studded wedding of former U.S. Attorney Alina Habba to a Turkish businessman with close ties to the Erdoğan government—with mixed martial arts manager Abdelaziz Ali, a former FBI source and suspected double agent, in attendance. What does the Collins story tell us about what happens when no one is minding the store on public corruption? And how worried should we be about who is buying access to the president's inner circle?“Manufactured Content.” President Trump escalated his war on the press this month, banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House and having the Secret Service seize their reporters' press passes over what he described as years of unfair coverage. A federal judge has since temporarily ordered their access restored, finding the ban likely violated their due process rights. But the White House isn't just restricting who gets to tell its story—it's also paying to tell its own, launching a series of taxpayer-funded TV ads that feature President Trump and closely track his campaign messaging, including one nearly identical to a 2024 campaign spot, just weeks before the midterms. The White House insists these are merely public service announcements. Is the administration breaking longstanding norms in an effort to take control of the narrative? And are there any legal limits that might stop it?In object lessons, Mike has two cautionary tales about tech appeal: “When We Cease to Understand the World” and “The Maniac.” Tyler is embracing sexy technical gear with a recommendation of Field Mag. Scott is returning to an old favorite that just understands him: “Fantasy Football Punishments for Your Work League that Violate the Geneva Convention.” And Anna is delighted by a more cutthroat side of cutting-edge: the National Havoc Robot League.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) publicly challenged statements by ATF Director Robert Cekada regarding the FBI's NICS Monitoring program. Cekada stated that NICS alerts are not used to monitor lawful gun purchasers, that the program is not secret, is narrowly limited to federal firearms trafficking and serious crimes, and that only 61 ATF alerts remained active as of September 17, 2026, out of 14.6 million checks in 2025. GOA responded that the post contained two false statements and three misleading ones, citing past use by multiple agencies, prior enforcement of state laws such as California's assault weapons ban, and the program's origins as a hidden surveillance tool revealed via FOIA and a whistleblower. The Gist: All U.S. gun purchasers subject to NICS background checks; program historically used by ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, Secret Service, Army, and others nationwide. Impact: Raises ongoing concerns about warrantless surveillance of lawful firearm buyers, potential violations of Brady Act record-destruction rules, and risk of future abuse under different administrations; GOA argues it circumvents statutory limits on NICS use. Bottom Line: GOA disputes ATF Director Cekada's defense of the restricted NICS Monitoring program, asserting it still enables real-time alerts on legally approved purchases and was previously used more broadly, including for state law enforcement. Breitbart (Savage) H.R. Bill by Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-CA) to Redefine BB Guns as Firearms U.S. Rep. Kevin Mullin is pushing legislation to close what he calls "a dangerous gap" by redefining BB and pellet guns as firearms. Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-CA) introduced legislation that would amend the federal definition of ‘firearm' under the Gun Control Act to include BB guns, air guns, and certain non-powder propelled devices. The bill aims to subject these items to the same federal licensing, background check, and prohibited person restrictions as traditional firearms. Currently, BB guns are generally regulated as toys or under state laws rather than as firearms at the federal level. The Gist: Nationwide; would apply to manufacturers, sellers, and owners of BB guns, air rifles, and similar non-powder propelled devices across all U.S. states and jurisdictions. Impact: Would impose NICS background checks, federal firearms licensing requirements, and age restrictions on previously unregulated low-powered air guns; opposed by 2nd Amendment advocates as reclassifying children's toys and sporting equipment. Bottom Line: The bill seeks to expand the legal definition of ‘firearm' to encompass BB guns, subjecting them to full federal gun control regulations. The Truth About Guns (Savage) Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones Launches Firearms Accountability & Industry Responsibility (FAIR) Unit Virginia AG Jay Jones launches the FAIR Unit to investigate gunmakers and sellers under the state's new firearm industry liability law. On September 15, 2026, Virginia AG Jay Jones announced the creation of the FAIR Unit within the Office of the Attorney General's Civil and Criminal Justice & Public Safety Divisions. The unit enforces HB21/SB27 (Virginia Firearm Industry Standards of Responsible Conduct), passed by the 2026 General Assembly and effective July 1, 2026. It investigates and pursues civil actions against firearm manufacturers, distributors, importers, marketers, and retailers for violations including knowingly contributing to a public nuisance through unlawful or unreasonable sales, distribution, marketing, or practices facilitating illegal firearm acquisition or diversion. The Gist: Affects firearm industry members (manufacturers, distributors, importers, marketers, and retailers) operating in or affecting Virginia; applies statewide across the Commonwealth. Impact: Grants the AG authority to issue civil investigative demands, bring suits to enjoin violations, seek damages, restitution, and other relief; establishes “reasonable controls” requirements and public nuisance standards, expanding civil liability exposure for the industry beyond traditional federal protections. Bottom Line: Creates a dedicated enforcement team (hiring section chief, attorneys, prosecutors, and investigators) to hold the firearms industry accountable for practices linked to gun trafficking, straw purchases, or harm, aiming to reduce illicit firearm flow while critics view it as politicized regulation of lawful businesses. Breitbart (Savage) Gov. Gavin Newsom Signs Ten New Gun Control Bills Into Law California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed ten new gun control bills, one of which is designed to block 3D printers from printing firearms. On September 27, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed ten new gun-control measures into law. The bills expand restrictions on firearm sales, transfers, storage, and certain accessories or configurations, applying primarily to residents, retailers, and manufacturers operating in California....

Joey, Nancy, and Karly talked about all the hype leading up to the UT-Texas game and agreed the traffic disaster everyone predicted never really happened. They also discussed celebrity sightings, including Glen Powell, Johnny Knoxville, Thomas Rhett, Emily Ann Roberts, and the President's visit to Neyland Stadium. WIVK officially unveiled its new studio phone number, 865-489-1077. Karly called in live to test it and confirmed everything was working. Nancy shared a frustrating encounter with a woman who gave her unsolicited advice about migraines. After being questioned about her sleep, diet, and water intake, Nancy delivered a funny on-air rant about not having the luxury of a perfect wellness routine. Heather Harrington enlisted Joey and Nancy to wake up her sons, Gus and Woodrow, for the Monday morning wake up call. A man named Chuck called the station claiming he'd been assigned WIVK's old phone number. Throughout the morning, he became increasingly frustrated as listeners kept calling, texting, and entering contests on his phone by mistake. Hot Tea: Ella Langley sparked reactions online after responding "There's not enough in the world" when a fan shouted through a parking garage asking how many TikTok likes it would take to get a date with her. Reba McEntire revealed she missed the last phone call Dolly Parton ever made to her and never got the chance to reconnect before Dolly's passing. A DoorDash customer went viral after driving to the scene of his delivery driver's crash and picking up his own food order directly from the accident scene. Joey and Nancy discussed the President's visit to Neyland Stadium, Air Force One's dramatic flyover, and reports that Secret Service communications may have interfered with coaching and broadcast radio systems during the game. Lucky 7 for $50 to the Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants UT sophomore Colby Lamb joined the show after winning Pat McAfee's kicking challenge on ESPN GameDay. Colby, who said he'd never kicked a football before, won $1 million after making a second-chance field goal encouraged by Peyton Manning. Karly shared highlights from a trip to Cades Cove, where she spotted a mama bear with cubs and was stunned to see tourists getting out of their cars and walking dangerously close to the animals for photos. The show wrapped up by talking about strange Halloween-themed foods, including glow-in-the-dark Hidden Valley Ranch and blood-red "vampire noodles," agreeing that foods with unusual colors are hard to eat even when they taste the same.

The Secret Service is facing questions about funding that was reportedly taken from the agency's budget to fund White House renovations. In a letter to Secret Service Director Sean Curran last week, Senator Maggie Hassan asked how the agency would have spent roughly the $415 million dollars that was redirected from its budget. Hassan wants to know whether that has affected the Secret Service's modernization efforts, including its ongoing hiring campaign. Her letter points to a June 2026 inspector general report that found the Secret Service's effectiveness was at risk due to staffing and resource constraints.

Marc Maron recorded 1,686 episodes of WTF with Marc Maron. For the final one, he went back to Barack Obama, the guest whose 2015 visit to Maron's garage became a defining moment in podcast history.In this Comedy Deep Dive, Johnny Mac tells the story of Marc Maron and WTF, from Maron's turbulent years in stand-up and radio to launching a podcast out of his garage and becoming one of comedy's most important interviewers.We revisit the unlikely rise of WTF, Maron's reputation for being brilliant, combative and occasionally difficult, his years at Air America, and the interview style that separated WTF from the traditional celebrity publicity circuit. These weren't five-minute junket conversations. Maron talked about failure, addiction, jealousy, depression, careers, relationships and comedy, often getting famous guests to tell stories they hadn't told anywhere else.There's the extraordinary Robin Williams conversation that was eventually selected for preservation by the National Recording Registry. There's President Barack Obama arriving at Maron's garage with the Secret Service in 2015, a moment that helped demonstrate how powerful podcasting had become. And there's Obama again, a decade later, sitting down with Maron for the final WTF.The story also includes Maron's sobriety, the devastating loss of filmmaker Lynn Shelton, his From Bleak to Dark comedy special, the documentary Are We Good?, his acting career, and why WTF became something that countless podcasters tried to imitate but could never quite reproduce.After sixteen years, hundreds of millions of downloads and conversations with many of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment, Marc Maron decided he was done.So what exactly did WTF change?Questions this Comedy Deep Dive answers: Why did Marc Maron end WTF? How did WTF with Marc Maron begin? Why did Marc Maron record a podcast in his garage? What made Marc Maron's interview style different? Why was the Robin Williams WTF interview so important? What happened when Barack Obama visited Marc Maron's garage? Why was Obama appearing on WTF a landmark moment for podcasting? How did WTF influence comedy podcasts? Who was the final guest on WTF with Marc Maron? And why was WTF so difficult to imitate?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Nearly two years after Thomas Crooks opened fire on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, questions about the attempted assassination haven't gone away. Was there a second shooter? Did the Secret Service stand down? Did Crooks have help? Was the FBI hiding information about his online activity? Who paid for his cremation? Was there a foreign connection? And how did a 20-year-old gunman manage to get onto a rooftop with a clear shot at Trump in the first place? Buck takes on 10 of the biggest theories surrounding Thomas Crooks and the Butler assassination attempt, separating what the evidence actually shows from what remains unexplained.

Episode 278 of The Popko Project Podcast features The Harbinger Curse, a heavy rock band from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley.Frontman Jason shares stories from his nearly 25-year career with the United States Secret Service—including working from the Clinton through Biden administrations, traveling the world, being at work on 9/11, and memorable encounters with Garth Brooks, Jon Bon Jovi, Bono, Journey, and Blackberry Smoke.We also dig into The Harbinger Curse's formation, influences, songwriting, mental health, the challenges facing original music and live venues, and the band's plans to record their first full-length album.From protecting presidents to making loud rock & roll, this one goes places.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Proposes the Bill of RightsOn September 25, 1789, the First Congress agreed on twelve proposed amendments to the newly ratified Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. Ten of those twelve would be ratified by the states in December 1791, and we know them today as the Bill of Rights. It was the fulfillment of a promise—many states had ratified the Constitution only on the understanding that a bill of rights protecting individual liberties would swiftly follow.The amendments are the beating heart of American individual liberty. The First Amendment's protections for speech, press, religion, and assembly; the Fourth Amendment's shield against unreasonable searches; the Fifth and Sixth Amendments' guarantees of due process and fair trials; the Eighth's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. What's remarkable is how the meaning of these spare, elegant clauses has been fought over and elaborated for more than two centuries—the words are fixed, but their application to new circumstances is a never-ending project. It's worth remembering, too, that two of the original twelve weren't ratified in 1789: one concerning congressional apportionment, and one on congressional pay—and that pay amendment was finally ratified in 1992, more than 200 years later, as the 27th Amendment.The significance of September 25, 1789 is that it created the framework of enumerated rights that Americans invoke against their government every single day—and never more directly than in today's lead story, which is, at bottom, a First Amendment fight over freedom of the press playing out at the doors of the White House. On the anniversary of the day those freedoms were proposed, we watch a court try to enforce them in real time.We have a remarkable follow-up to a story we covered earlier this week: the White House barred reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from entering—just hours after a federal judge ordered their access restored and deemed the ban likely unconstitutional. Let me lay out the sequence, because it's striking. Recall those three outlets sued after President Trump banned them over what he called their “negative stories.” This week, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled for the outlets, temporarily blocking the ban for 14 days and finding it likely unconstitutional—a clear First Amendment win. And then, hours later, when reporters from those outlets tried to enter the White House grounds, Secret Service officers turned some of them away and even confiscated a Politico reporter's credentials. The outlets rushed back to court, requesting an immediate hearing, and by the end of the day the White House began readmitting the journalists. Now, here's the legal significance, and it's serious, because this brushes up against one of the gravest issues in our legal system: compliance with court orders. When a court issues an injunction, parties are legally bound to obey it—full stop. The rule of law depends on the understanding that when a judge rules, even the most powerful actors, including the executive branch, comply. When there's a gap—even a few hours—between a court order and the government's compliance with it, that's not a small administrative hiccup; it raises the specter of defiance of the judiciary, which strikes at the foundation of the separation of powers. Now, the charitable read is that this was a logistical lag—word hadn't reached the officers at the gate—and the fact that access was restored by day's end supports that. But it happened against a backdrop of rising concern about executive compliance with court orders generally. The significance is that the First Amendment merits question—can a President ban outlets for critical coverage—now sits alongside an even more fundamental one: whether court orders enforcing those rights will be promptly obeyed. On the anniversary of the Bill of Rights, that's a sobering pairing.Politico denied access to White House after judge's order, news outlet says | Reuters · Washington Post · CNBCThe American Bar Association is fighting to hold onto one of its most consequential powers: its role as the federally recognized accreditor of the nation's law schools. This week, the ABA's legal-education council was set to meet with a federal advisory committee to defend that role, after the Department of Education recommended in August that the government withdraw recognition of the ABA as the official law-school accreditor. Let me explain why this is a big deal, because accreditation is quiet but enormously powerful. In most states, you have to graduate from an ABA-accredited law school to even sit for the bar exam—so the ABA's accreditation standards effectively shape what every law school in America must teach, how it must operate, and who can ultimately enter the profession. That's a tremendous amount of gatekeeping authority concentrated in a private professional organization. The administration's objection traces to an April 2025 executive order and centers on the ABA's diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements—specifically Standard 206, which required schools to demonstrate a commitment to diversity. And here's the telling development: earlier this month, the ABA's council voted 10 to 6 to repeal Standard 206, the very DEI requirement at the heart of the dispute. So the ABA is fighting on two fronts at once—defending its institutional role while simultaneously giving ground on the substantive policy that drew the administration's fire. This fits squarely within the anti-DEI campaign we've tracked across this administration, from the tax-exempt-status proposal to the pressure on universities. But it's also part of something broader—a contest over who controls the pipeline into the legal profession itself. The significance is real: if the government strips the ABA of its accreditor status, it could reshape legal education, shift accreditation power to the states or a new body, and mark an extraordinary intervention by the executive branch into the self-governance of the legal profession. For a profession that prizes its independence, that's a genuinely existential fight.ABA fights to retain law school governance role in meeting with Trump education department | Reuters · Inside Higher Ed · Fox BusinessAnd finally, New York has sued the prediction market Polymarket, calling it an illegal, unlicensed gambling operation—and the case cuts right to a question our legal system is scrambling to answer: what exactly is a prediction market? Attorney General Letitia James filed suit seeking to block Polymarket from operating in New York, arguing that its event contracts—where users put money on uncertain future outcomes, from elections to sports to who-knows-what—meet New York's legal definition of gambling. And since Polymarket isn't licensed by the New York State Gaming Commission, the state says it's operating illegally. James raised two pointed concerns: that Polymarket lets 18-to-20-year-olds trade sports markets even though New York requires mobile sports bettors to be 21, and that it avoids the taxes that licensed sportsbooks have to pay. Here's the fascinating legal core, and it's a classic federalism clash. Polymarket hit back within hours with its own suit, arguing that New York is overstepping, because Polymarket operates as a federally regulated exchange—its contracts are overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the federal commodities regulator. So the battle is: is a bet on an election outcome “gambling,” which states have always regulated, or is it a “swap” or derivative—a financial instrument—which falls under exclusive federal CFTC jurisdiction? If it's the latter, federal law may preempt New York's gambling regime entirely. This is the same fight James picked with Polymarket's rival Kalshi two months ago, and courts around the country are wrestling with it. The significance is that the outcome will help define whether the booming prediction-market industry is treated as a financial market or as a casino—a multibillion-dollar question about which sovereign gets to regulate it, and under which body of law. It's regulatory categorization as destiny, and right now nobody's entirely sure which box these things belong in.New York sues Polymarket, says it ran illegal gambling operation | Reuters · Bloomberg · CNBC This is a public episode.

If I say "British spy," you picture a man: James Bond, George Smiley, Kim Philby. And the one woman most people can name from that world is fictional — Miss Moneypenny, sitting outside M's office, quietly in love with 007. But Miss Moneypenny was real, or at least the woman who inspired her was. Her name was Kathleen Pettigrew, personal assistant to three consecutive chiefs of MI6, and every secret in the wartime service passed across her desk. When someone asked whether she'd been the real Moneypenny, she replied: "I was Miss Moneypenny, but with more power." In this episode, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Dr. Claire Hubbard-Hall, historian of secret intelligence, honorary associate professor of intelligence history, and author of Secret Servants of the Crown: The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence (published in the UK as Her Secret Service). Claire explains how she found the pencil-crossed "Miss Pettaval" in Fleming's first draft of Casino Royale; how Pettigrew and one colleague received every decrypted Enigma message sent from Bletchley Park to MI6; why the word "secretary" was a perfect cover for agent running, code work and courier duty; and how she tracked down women trained to leave no trace — reading margin notes and paper chits, then turning family historian and writing some 200 letters to surviving relatives. Plus: Rita Windsor, the MI6 officer in wartime Lisbon who got July Plot survivor Otto John out of Europe; the post-war "travel agency" she ran with Ina Molesworth; an incendiary briefcase carried by train to Bletchley Park and blown up on the lawn; the long zigzag road to the first female heads of MI5, GCHQ and MI6; and why Slow Horses gets it right.

In Ian Fleming's first draft of Casino Royale, the character we know as Miss Moneypenny was originally called "Miss Pettaval" — crossed out in pencil and renamed. Fleming, a wartime naval intelligence officer, would have walked past Pettigrew's desk outside Stewart Menzies's office at 54 Broadway. Pettigrew's power was real. She helped set up MI6's communications team at Bletchley Park in 1939, and back at headquarters she and a colleague, Miss Jones, personally received every decrypted Enigma message passed from Bletchley to MI6 — the gatekeeper deciding where intelligence went. She also accompanied Menzies to Churchill's famous late-night meetings to take notes. She came from nothing like Moneypenny's polished upper-class background. Born in industrial East Bermondsey to a seal fur dresser, she grew up in a two-room flat above her parents' shop off the Strand. Technical college, secretarial training and elocution lessons got her into Special Branch in the First World War — and from there, "through the looking glass." Career women like Pettigrew paid a steep price. Marriage bars meant choosing the job meant giving up marriage and children. MI5 dropped its marriage bar shortly after the Second World War; the Foreign Office and MI6 kept theirs until the early 1970s. "Secretary" was the perfect cover. Behind the job title, women translated, encrypted and decrypted, ran agents, acted as agents and couriers, made secret inks, and produced photography for fake passes and disinformation. Women were there from the very beginning — MI6 employed its first female agent in 1909, the year it was founded. Popular culture — and especially the endlessly retold, heavily sexualized Mata Hari legend — typecast women in espionage as seductresses and "Bond girls," which helped erase the women doing the real work. Claire notes that the effort to write them back in has gathered real momentum over the past decade. Researching women trained to leave no trace meant thinking like a counterintelligence officer. Because women created and handled the files rather than making the decisions recorded in them, Claire looked past the content to margin notes, pencilled initials and paper chits — then worked like a family historian, using wills, genealogy, the electoral roll and around 200 handwritten letters to surviving relatives, most of whom had no idea. Rita Windsor, stationed at MI6's Lisbon station in neutral Portugal, organized agent infiltrations, exfiltrations and defections. When Britain broke off contact with German resistance contact Otto John before D-Day, and the July 1944 plot against Hitler then failed, it was Windsor who got him out through Portugal and Spain to Britain. John dedicated his memoir to her. After the war, Windsor and her colleague Ina Molesworth set up a high-end travel agency, International Services, taking small groups of well-connected travelers to Afghanistan, Moscow and — one of the first agencies allowed in — China. Claire's research makes clear it was an MI6 cover. The details are in the book. The road from Kathleen Pettigrew to the first female heads of Britain's intelligence services was anything but straight: Jane Sissmore became MI5's first female officer in 1929; Millicent Bagot became deputy director in the 1950s; Stella Rimington became the first female director general of MI5 in 1992; Anne Keast-Butler became the first female director of GCHQ in 2023; and Blaise Metreweli became the first female chief of MI6 in 2025. Soundbites "I was Miss Moneypenny, but with more power." — Kathleen Pettigrew, as quoted in Jonathan's introduction. "These women in the book have absolutely fantastic names, written for spy stories." — Claire on her cast of characters. "Let's not forget, these women were trained to evade everybody — even the historian coming later in the twenty-first century." — Claire on the challenge of researching MI6 women. "The first draft of that first Bond novel — the woman we now know as Miss Moneypenny was actually given a different name to start off with: Miss Pettaval. And you can instantly see the similarities between Pettaval and Pettigrew." — Claire on the discovery that clinched it. "All of the decrypted German Enigma messages coming out of Bletchley Park had to pass through MI6. MI6 was the gatekeeper, essentially. And the two women that received them were Miss Pettigrew and Miss Jones." — Claire on the true scale of Pettigrew's role. "Secretary was this wonderful catch-all phrase that women in the Secret Services could use as cover, as camouflage. It was perfect, because nobody would suspect that they were doing anything different." — Claire on the job title that hid everything. "I did transform into a counterintelligence officer myself, in terms of the methodologies I had to adopt to try and get at these women." — Claire on her research method. "I probably sent out two hundred letters over the course of the project to family and relatives, and most of them wrote back — because they had no idea that Great Aunt Ethel had worked in any capacity within that clandestine world." — Claire on turning family historian. "The guy walked to the very edge of the lake, popped the briefcase down — and what do you think happened to the briefcase then? It blew up. It was an incendiary device, and a very unstable one. Can you imagine that going off on the train?" — Claire on Lois Hamilton and MI6's Section D at Bletchley Park. "When you take these historical moments, they are absolutely fantastic — hooray. But what we now need to see is that change continues, and that we actually see more female heads. Not with another massive gap before another woman is appointed." — Claire on the first female chiefs of Britain's intelligence services.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 21, 2026. We open with the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, starting with the midterm outlook and a deep dive on dueling polls—Polymarket, The Economist, the New York Times/Siena survey, and a new Marquette Law School poll—all pointing different directions on control of the House and Senate. We debate whether apathy or overconfidence among Republican voters could tip the balance, and weigh the influence of figures like Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie on the party's cohesion. From there we cover President Trump's announcement of a new "AI Force" and a forthcoming AI czar, his decision to bar Politico, CNN, and MSNBC from the White House press pool, and the Fifth Circuit's ruling striking down the federal ban on interstate handgun sales. We then turn to the Secretary of the Air Force's stunning revelation that the U.S. Space Force already possesses an operational orbital weapons system, and what that could mean for satellite defense and missile tracking. Next up is American Mamas, where Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to discuss the fallout around the Lindsay Clancy juror who was doxxed after the trial, the racial undertones in the media coverage, and the broader conversation about jury tampering and accountability. We dig deep into President Trump's remarks calling the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt a "Democrat plot," parsing what he may have meant and where the Secret Service's conduct under the Biden administration fits in. We also break down the new U.S.-Greenland agreement, why it matters far more strategically than the Danish press is letting on, and what it means for Arctic defense and mineral access. We touch on a First Amendment ruling against a University of California misgendering policy and what it means for free speech on campus, then land on our Bright Spot: Toys R Us announcing 120 new standalone retail stores nationwide this Christmas, and why getting kids into physical stores again matters. We close out with a look at a study on how Democratic versus Republican women view men, and a Moment of Whoa about an 84-year-old man returning a library book 130 years overdue.

Darin Kinder was inside the World Trade Center in New York City preparing to go into a meeting when the twin towers were hit by two hijacked jetliners. Amid the chaos and destruction, Darin says he felt God speak to him, assuring him that he was not alone.   In the midst of this harrowing event, he made his way to a phone and left a message for his wife assuring her he was ok and was heading back into the towers where he and some co-workers led others to safety. This traumatic experience would change his life — and set him on a mission to discover God's purpose can come out of pain.

Today Patty welcomes Todd Foster, former Ritz-Carlton Chicago doorman and author of Everybody Had Baggage, who shares how three years observing guests—from celebrities to everyday people—shaped his work as a keynote speaker and executive coach. Todd explains how people reveal character by how they treat those they don't need, why mindset drives behavior, and how leaders set the tone for everyone in the room. He recounts a pivotal moment when President Clinton told Secret Service to “Let the man do his job,” reinforcing respect and role clarity. Todd describes Ritz-Carlton systems for remembering names to create a luxury guest experience, admits mistakes around confidentiality, and tells stories involving entitlement, kindness, Harry Caray, Oprah, and Chris Farley. Episode Highlights:00:00 Meet Todd Foster01:32 Landing the Doorman Job02:14 First Day Fur Coat Chaos03:21 Why the Book Took Years05:03 Watching People Unmasked06:58 Celebrities and True Colors10:11 Mindset and First World Problems11:53 Let the Man Do His Job16:00 Leadership Sets the Tone18:23 Big Mistake and Redemption22:20 Concert Payback Story22:42 Pearson Street Standoff25:01 Spit Sparks a Punch27:59 Union Review Aftermath29:01 Harry Caray Name Lesson32:11 Ritz Carlton Name Game35:54 Chris Farley Kindness39:33 Book Plug Rapid Fire42:43 Host Takeaways Outro #Leadership #CustomerService #Hospitality #RitzCarlton #ExecutiveCoaching #KeynoteSpeaker #HotelManagement #LuxuryHotels #EmployeeExperience #GuestExperience #ServiceExcellence #WorkplaceCulture #EmotionalIntelligence #Mindset #Kindness #GoldenRule #PersonalBrand #Networking #Chicago #Celebrities #Storytelling #Management #NameRecognition #EverybodyHadBaggage #YourDailyChocolate

This Day in Legal History: Sandra Day O'Connor ConfirmedOn September 21, 1981, the United States Senate voted 99 to 0 to confirm Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court of the United States, making her the first woman ever to sit on the nation's highest court—191 years after the Court was established. Nominated by President Ronald Reagan, who had pledged during his campaign to name a woman to the Court, O'Connor sailed through confirmation with unanimous support, the lone missing vote belonging to a senator away at a conference.O'Connor's path to that seat is a story about the barriers she broke to get there. A graduate near the top of her class at Stanford Law School, she nonetheless found that law firms in the early 1950s would not hire a woman as an attorney—one offered her a job as a legal secretary. She built her career in public service and Arizona state government and judiciary instead, and that pragmatic, real-world background shaped the justice she became: not an ideologue, but a cautious, case-by-case decider who for years held the pivotal swing vote on a closely divided Court, casting the deciding ballot on questions from affirmative action to abortion to the limits of executive power.The significance of September 21, 1981 is both symbolic and substantive. Symbolically, it shattered a two-century barrier and reshaped who Americans could imagine wielding the judicial power. Substantively, O'Connor's controlling opinions defined American law for a generation. And it's a fitting anniversary for today, because our lead story is about a workplace accused of denying opportunity on the basis of who people are—a reminder that the promise of equal treatment that O'Connor's own career embodied remains, so often, a promise the law is still fighting to keep.Tesla is heading to trial in California over allegations that it allowed rampant race discrimination against Black workers at its flagship Fremont assembly plant—one of the most significant employment-discrimination cases against a major American company to reach a courtroom in years. The suit was brought by California's Civil Rights Department, and that's the first thing worth understanding: this isn't a private plaintiff, it's a state civil-rights agency suing on behalf of workers, which brings the enforcement power of the state to bear. The trial opened Monday in Oakland before state Superior Court Judge Peter Borkon, and it's scheduled to run all the way to October 30—a long trial that signals how much evidence is in play. The allegations, filed back in 2022, are stark. The department claims Black workers at Fremont were subjected to pervasive harassment—racial slurs, racist graffiti, including in bathrooms—and that Tesla failed to prevent or stop it. It further alleges the plant was effectively racially segregated, with Black workers funneled into the lowest-paying, least desirable jobs, paid less, and passed over for promotions. Legally, these are claims under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act, the state's robust anti-discrimination statute, and they sound in two theories we should distinguish: hostile-work-environment harassment, where the question is whether the workplace was permeated with discriminatory intimidation severe enough to alter employment conditions, and disparate treatment in pay and promotion. Tesla denies wrongdoing, says it doesn't tolerate discrimination, and says it has fired workers who engaged in misconduct—which previews its likely defense: that any harassment was the work of rogue bad actors the company addressed, not a condition it allowed to fester. The significance is considerable. This is one of a whole series of discrimination cases Tesla has faced over Fremont, including a parallel federal EEOC suit, and a state agency taking one to a full jury trial—rather than settling—makes it a landmark test. Thousands of workers are implicated, the company is among the most high-profile in the world, and the outcome will say something about how seriously the law will hold a corporate giant responsible for the culture of its factory floor.Tesla faces major trial for alleged bias against Black workers, after years of lawsuits | Reuters · US News · Business StandardThree major news organizations—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—have sued the Trump administration after being banned from the White House, in a First Amendment fight with real echoes of a case from the last Trump term. Here's what happened: the President announced he was barring the three outlets from the White House because, in his telling, he didn't like their “negative stories,” and over the weekend their reporters—including journalists from each outlet—tried to enter the grounds to cover the news and were turned away by the Secret Service, which deactivated and seized their press passes. The outlets are now in court arguing this is unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and a violation of press freedom. The legal framework here is well-developed, and it's why the outlets have a strong hand. The controlling precedent traces to a 1977 D.C. Circuit case, Sherrill v. Knight, which held that once the White House opens press access, it can't deny a journalist a hardpass without due process and a compelling reason—the government can't hand out access based on whether it likes the coverage. That principle was reaffirmed in 2018, when a court sided with CNN after the first Trump administration pulled correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass—and, tellingly, CNN has brought back Ted Boutrous, the First Amendment lawyer who won that Acosta case, to lead this one. The core constitutional problem for the administration is that its stated reason—punishing outlets for critical coverage—is close to a textbook definition of unconstitutional viewpoint-based retaliation against the press. Now, the courts have never said White House access is unlimited or that any journalist can demand entry, so there's nuance about what process and standards apply. But retaliating against specific outlets for the content of their reporting sits at the very core of what the First Amendment forbids the government from doing. The significance is that this is a direct test of press freedom against executive power—whether a President can use physical access to the White House as a cudgel to reward friendly coverage and punish critical coverage. Given the precedent, the outlets enter court with the wind at their backs.CNN, MS NOW and Politico file lawsuit against Trump administration over White House access | Reuters · CNN · MS NOWAnd finally, a story close to my own world: American law schools are grappling with how to teach law in the age of AI—and some are responding by banning the technology from the classroom entirely. The University of Chicago Law School, notably, has barred phones, tablets, and laptops from its core first-year classrooms this academic year. The rationale is worth taking seriously, because it's not mere technophobia. The concern is that generative AI, and screens generally, undermine the Socratic method—the centuries-old back-and-forth of cold-calling and live argument that is the signature of legal education. As the chair of Chicago's AI committee put it, the whole point is to do things “the hard way—because that's how you learn.” The worry is that if a first-year law student can have ChatGPT instantly summarize a case, spot the issue, and draft the analysis, they never actually build the mental muscles—the close reading, the legal reasoning, the ability to think on their feet under pressure—that the profession requires. And here's the crucial nuance that makes this more than a simple ban: schools like Chicago aren't rejecting AI for the whole curriculum. The plan is foundational skills first, AI later—teach students to reason without the tool in year one, then teach them to use it ethically and effectively in advanced research, writing, and clinical work down the line. It mirrors a genuine debate splitting legal education, with many schools racing in the opposite direction, expanding AI instruction from day one. As someone who teaches at the intersection of law and technology, I find this the right instinct: you have to understand what the tool is doing before you can responsibly delegate to it, and every disaster we've covered on this show—the hallucinated citations, the sanctioned lawyers, the ChatGPT-fabricated testimony in that New Mexico murder appeal—is ultimately a story about someone who trusted the tool before they'd mastered the underlying judgment. The significance is that the profession's training pipeline is being redesigned in real time around a single question: how do you produce lawyers who can harness AI without being hollowed out by it?Laptop bans, new tech courses: US law schools grapple with AI | Reuters · Inside Higher Ed · Forbes This is a public episode.

Permit to Think — Episode 34Tom Bie & Paul PuckettHost: Mike Dawes, Westbank Anglers Guests: Tom Bie (Editor at The Drake magazine) | Paul Puckett (Artist and Illustrator)Episode DescriptionSome of the best fly fishing stories start in a shop, not on the water — and in Episode 34 of Permit to Think, host Mike Dawes sits down with two guys whose careers trace straight back to Westbank Anglers. Tom Bie, founder and editor of The Drake magazine and a former Westbank guide, and Paul Puckett, the sporting artist behind decades of fly fishing illustration and the Flood Tide apparel brand, reconnect with Mike after a chance run-in at Westbank's 40th anniversary party sparked the idea for this episode.The conversation traces both guys' start in Jackson Hole — Tom guiding scenic floats and fishing trips before launching The Drake in 1998 (dreamed up, fittingly, while working as a lift operator at Deer Valley), and Paul talking his way into a job at the original Dallas Westbank Anglers store before eventually landing in Jackson himself. From there it's a wide-ranging look at what made — and still makes — that shop culture so magnetic: the tight-knit, competitive-but-supportive community of guides, artists, and writers who passed through Westbank's doors, and how those connections shaped both of their careers.Mike, Tom, and Paul also swap recent trip reports — tarpon and permit fishing in the Florida Keys and Mexico, and Tom's latest run on British Columbia's Dean River for big, ocean-hardened steelhead — before digging into Paul's evolution as an artist, from painting anglers' trophy fish for cash in the Westbank shop to his signature simplified, drippy compositions today. The episode wraps with a few can't-make-this-up shop stories (Dick Cheney's fishing license, presidential Secret Service detail included) and a genuinely interesting take on where fly shops, print magazines, and hand-painted art fit into a fishing culture that's about to be reshaped by AI.About the GuestsTom Bie is the founder and editor of The Drake magazine, which he launched in 1998 after a stint as a lift operator at Deer Valley and years working scenic floats and guiding trips out of Grand Teton Lodge Company and Westbank Anglers in Jackson Hole. Before The Drake grew into the quarterly it is today, Tom spent years in the broader outdoor magazine world as managing editor of Paddler, senior editor of Skiing, and editor-in-chief of Powder. He lives in Denver, Colorado.Paul Puckett is a sporting artist and illustrator known for his paintings and illustrations across the fly fishing world, as well as the Flood Tide apparel brand he built around his character-driven fish art. Paul got his start painting anglers' trophy catches while working at the original Westbank Anglers store in Dallas, later spending four years fishing, snowboarding, and (by his own account) barely painting in Jackson Hole before relaunching his art career in Atlanta and eventually settling in Charleston, South Carolina, where he's based today.About Permit to ThinkPermit to Think is a fly fishing podcast hosted by Mike Dawes of Westbank Anglers. Each episode digs into the people, places, and fish that define the sport — from technical conversations about gear and tactics to big-picture discussions on conservation and culture. New episodes available wherever you listen to podcasts.Westbank Anglers | Jackson Hole, Wyoming

On today's episode, Conspiracy Friday rolls with James, Glenn, Dwayne, and a rare Mark LaGrone Friday sighting (Charlotte's out sick—or maybe just deep-cleaning for weekend company). They open on Judge Boasberg's FISA-to-CCP rabbit hole, then ask why Bitcoin is still coiling near $78 after Clarity failed and rates rose. Three conspiracy lights go on for Dwayne's Time Magazine doomer-cover walk from nuclear war to AI tipping points, then the room digs into CLAIMED new Thomas Crooks/Butler drops—mystery men at a gun store, an anonymous cremation donor, and a Secret Service wash-down that doesn't smell like forensics. Trump's midterm oil-and-Fed conspiracy gets a split decision (James with him on the Fed, not so sure on diesel), Mark and Dwayne fight over whether DOJ fraud perp walks are real or a nothing burger, and after Mark peels off they run Louisiana's giant SpaceX footprint, Starlink V3 bandwidth, the post-office executive order that still lets ballots get watched even if they can't be blocked, and AI doomer movies versus tokens you actually burn in a law office—before PJ's Exit 33 and a loud suggestion that somebody arrest Boasberg. Don't miss it!

Greg Kelly focuses heavily on the investigation into Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Greg expresses deep skepticism regarding the FBI and Secret Service's transparency, questioning why a comprehensive public report remains unavailable while highlighting the shooter's troubled family history and behavioral red flags. The discussion expands into a broader critique of American institutional decline, contrasting a perceived modern "culture of inaction" with the initiative of previous generations. Kelly also addresses religious themes by interpreting Biblical passages regarding division, using them to frame modern political and social conflicts.

This week, the fellas kick things off with the debate surrounding DaBaby's new Charlotte restaurant, No Knife Chicken & Waffles, and the backlash over its prices — including the viral $45 waffle.

MI6 and the First World War – The Birth of the Secret StateIn this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore the origins of MI6 – the Secret Intelligence Service – during the First World War, drawing on Keith Jeffery's official history of the organisation.Intelligence history matters, not because of the romantic glamour of espionage, but because of the place secret organisations occupy in the social and political history of the twentieth century. Britain's secret state did not emerge fully formed. It was improvised, contested, and shaped by the crises of global war – and by the personal tragedy of the man who built it.In this episode, we examine the earliest years of the Secret Intelligence Service under Commander Mansfield Cumming – the original "C" of spy fiction fame. When the First World War broke out, the Secret Service was a fledgling organisation, born in a period of anti-German hysteria and fears about spies and infiltration. It had no clear place in the hierarchy of Whitehall. Cumming spent the first months of the war navigating between the War Office, the Admiralty and the Foreign Office – briefing each in turn, seeking approval for spending, and defending his institutional autonomy against successive military attempts to absorb his service.We trace the chaotic, fluid movements of personnel in the opening months of the war, as the pressures of total war moved men around "like counters." We also examine Cumming's own tragedy – a motor accident in France that killed his only son and cost him part of a leg. The story grew, as stories do, into legend: Compton Mackenzie's embellished account of Cumming hacking off his own foot with a penknife to free himself. The reality was more prosaic – but the consequences were not. Cumming's incapacity brought the Secret Service more closely under War Office control and prompted GHQ in France to establish its own independent intelligence service.**Topics covered:**- The origins of MI6 and the Secret Intelligence Service- Mansfield Cumming, the first "C"- The interdepartmental battle for control of intelligence- The War Office, Admiralty and Foreign Office- The chaos and flux of wartime Whitehall- Cumming's motor accident and the death of his son- The growth of the secret state in wartime- The mythology of intelligence work---*Keith Jeffery's official history of MI6 is available from all good bookshops.

John continues his conversation with Dr. Abbie Maroño. Dr. Abbie opens up about her difficult past and how she learned to keep moving forward even when things felt impossible. They also talk about the pressure to be perfect, why we should stop waiting until we feel completely ready, and how taking action can help us grow. Dr. Abbie also discusses her books, Work in Progress: The Road to Empowerment, The Journey Through Shame and The Upper Hand: Mastering Persuasion and Getting What You Want with the Science of Social Engineering. About Dr. Abbie Maroño: Dr. Abbie Maroño is a keynote speaker, behavioral scientist, and author specializing in trust, influence, and nonverbal communication. She is known for challenging conventional thinking and translating complex behavioral science into practical insights that audiences can immediately understand and apply. Her interest in human behavior did not begin in a classroom. Growing up in an unstable and traumatic home, she learned early that no one was coming to save her. At 16, she faced a choice no child should have to make: continue down a path of addiction or fight for a different future. She chose the latter. That decision sparked a lifelong fascination with why people make the choices they do and how understanding human behavior can change the course of a life. ​Earning her PhD in Psychology, Dr Abbie became a Professor of Psychology at just 23 years old. She was later recognized by the U.S. Department of State for extraordinary ability in behavioral science and named one of Central Florida's 40 Under 40 by the Orlando Business Journal. She is the creator of The Upper Hand, a proprietary framework focused on trust, influence, communication, and decision-making. Dr Abbie has trained representatives from 29 U.S. federal agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior leadership at INTERPOL. The U.S. Secret Service also recognized her contributions with an award for outstanding contribution to their forensic services. As a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, Court TV contributor, and media commentator, her work has been featured on BBC News, Fox News, WIRED, Reuters, Forbes Breaking News, Apple News, and many more outlets. She also provides expert witness services in matters involving behavioral analysis, nonverbal communication, and human behavior, including high-profile civil and criminal cases.

[45:34] - The best way to connect with Dr. Abbie [46:25] - Wrap-up NOTABLE QUOTES: "Struggle is a gift because it helps create things in you that weren't there before." "We don't see the work people have done to be where they are. We just see how they front." "The skills needed to deal with trauma and deal with pain are incredible life skills, and they will serve you very, very well." "I'd never wish struggle on people, but I do think it is an important character-building thing to go through the struggle." "Done is good enough. People get it done, then you can adjust. Don't adjust before you do it." "The longer we delay, the longer we don't get what we want." "Time will pass anyway. We don't do things because of the time it will take. The time will pass anyway. And then when that time has passed, you look back and you think, 'If I had done that, then I would be in a much different place right now.' So you just have to start." "Be prepared as you can, but just start." "When you admit to, 'I don't know,' 'I'm not perfect,' or 'I made a mistake,' it makes you better, and it makes you more of an expert, and it makes people actually look up to you and relate to you more."

With political violence on the rise and new weapons like drones proliferating, is it still possible to protect America's leaders? Why has such a basic governmental mission been overstretched and underfunded? Which is the bigger threat—invisible “lone wolves” among us, or nation-states like Iran who openly threaten assassinations? Ron Rowe was acting director of the U.S. Secret Service, and he personally protected multiple presidents as a career agent. In his first-ever podcast, Ron joins Jon Bateman on The World Unpacked to explain what's different about today's threats, how agents stay mentally focused, and why America should build a full-scale replica of the White House. Host: Follow Jon on X: https://x.com/JonKBateman Guest: Ronald L. Rowe, Jr.

Former Secret Service Agent Gabriel Palazzi joins Howie to talk about his time in the Secret Service and his new book "A Funny Thing Happened On My Way To Protect The President".

*This episode contains content that may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, as the country remembers the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, we’re talking with Darin Kinder, a retired Secret Service agent who survived the September 11th attacks and was later awarded a Medal of Valor for his actions that day. Kinder recounts the chaos of that morning, from treating the wounded on the street to making the choice to go back into a collapsing tower to help others get out. Later in the episode, we feature Sam Eaton. After enduring years of severe depression, the former music teacher had made plans to take his own life on Christmas Day in 2011. However, a single pivotal question intervened at the final second, steering him toward a new direction and a mission to support others through their own darkest trials.

And that’s our mission as witnesses of Christ, as ambassadors representing Christ—to be the man, to be a woman standing in the alley, pointing people to the light of the world.” - Darin Kinder “Sometimes God creates miracles, but most of the time He creates people. This world is full of problems, and you and I were created to be part of the solution for at least one.” - Darin Kinder “I want to encourage people to get outside of the walls of their church and engage humanity, engage the problem. Bring the love of Christ, bring the light of Christ into the dark places.” - Darin Kinder “I was so angry because so much of the messaging I had heard in my Christian journey was ,’God has great plans for your life.’ We hear that so often. And of course, I believe that. But in moments of extreme pain, when you can’t see hope, I was like, ‘Oh God, wow, if these are the great plans that you have for our lives--so much pain that I’m not even sure I want to be alive--how can you be a good God?’” - Sam Eaton “Have you really given life everything you’ve got? Because I think that’s the life that Jesus calls us to: to be brave and courageous and to give it what we’ve got, no matter how hopeless we might feel.” - Sam Eaton “I was made on purpose for a purpose, and there’s been this good God who’s been this quiet and gentle voice that’s willing to meet us when we make a little time for Him.” - Sam Eaton “We lose almost 50,000 people a year to suicide in the U.S. We just have to be willing to talk about it, to have these hard conversations, and to encourage people to seek the medical help that can help them like it has helped me create a life that they want to live and that they can love.” - Sam Eaton ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

   Retired Navy Captain Gerard Cox, MD, built a forty-year career out of a four-year commitment. He signed with the Navy's Health Professions Scholarship Program because his parents had already stretched to pay for an expensive undergraduate education, intending to serve his obligation and return to New England as a general internist. Three months into a medicine internship at Bethesda he knew that path was wrong. A flight surgeon tour with Marine squadrons out of Cherry Point gave him time to mature as a physician and to find emergency medicine, then a new and contested specialty. By the eleven-year mark the Navy had him, and he finished at thirty.    What followed is a tour of the places where military medicine meets national consequence. From 1999 to 2001 he served in the White House Medical Unit as a physician to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, spending most of his first year on the campaign trail with Vice President Al Gore. He explains what protective medical support actually requires: a physician with a black medical bag within seconds of the president at all times, monitoring the same Secret Service frequency, positioned on the far side of the armored limousine. That doctrine was written directly out of the 1981 Hinckley shooting, when the White House physician was left behind at the scene and never got into the car.    A decade later, he was Force Surgeon for U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and Fleet Surgeon for the U.S. Fifth Fleet, administratively responsible for Navy medical personnel across Afghanistan, Kuwait, and every ship in the area of responsibility. The lesson he carries from that tour and from Desert Shield and Desert Storm is the same: international agreements and host-nation relationships are what allow the United States to operate medically in that theater at all.    He then spent nearly eleven years in senior Veterans Health Administration leadership, walking into the Office of the Medical Inspector three months after the 2014 access-to-care scandal broke, and later serving as Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Quality and Patient Safety and national co-lead of the VA high reliability organization rollout across more than 170 medical centers. His verdict on the word accountability is blunt. It was redefined to mean punishment, and you cannot fire your way to excellence.    The episode closes on advice a Navy admiral gave him in 1997 and on the fifteen-minute walk he and his wife have taken nearly every evening since, the habit that kept a forty-year career and a marriage intact. Chapters (01:11-08:39) An Accidental Navy Career (08:40-16:41) Inside the White House Medical Unit (16:42-24:26) Fifth Fleet, CENTCOM, and the Move from Clinician to Commander (24:27-37:01) Rebuilding Trust at VA: Accountability and High Reliability (37:02-43:24) Bridging the Military Health System and the VA (43:25-52:54) The Fifteen-Minute Walk: Resilience and Legacy Chapter Summaries (01:11-08:39) An Accidental Navy Career Dr. Cox traces the decision points that turned a four-year scholarship obligation into thirty years of active duty: an HPSP flyer on a Dartmouth bulletin board, an internal medicine internship he abandoned within months, and a flight surgeon tour with Marine squadrons at Cherry Point. That tour let him practice as the sole medical expert for a deployed squadron and pointed him toward the new specialty of emergency medicine. (08:40-16:41) Inside the White House Medical Unit As physician to Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush, Dr. Cox describes protective medical support as a discipline of seconds and positioning, not of clinical complexity. He walks through the Hinckley shooting that shaped the doctrine, the advance planning that precedes a foreign trip, and the accelerated 2000 transition between administrations. (16:42-24:26) Fifth Fleet, CENTCOM, and the Move from Clinician to Commander Dual-hatted as Force Surgeon for NAVCENT and Fleet Surgeon for Fifth Fleet, CAPT (Ret) Cox was responsible for Navy medical personnel from the NATO Role 3 hospital in Kandahar to individual augmentees with Afghan units and every ship in theater. He then turns to the leap into command, where a physician stops being the team leader and becomes the leader of a team of leaders. (24:27-37:01) Rebuilding Trust at VA: Accountability and High Reliability Three months into his VA tenure, the 2014 access-to-care scandal forced out the Secretary, the Under Secretary for Health, and the Medical Inspector. Dr.Cox took the Medical Inspector role and rebuilt its investigative culture on a single rule: every whistleblower allegation has an equal chance of being true or not true. He then describes the six-year high reliability rollout and the just culture that has to underpin it. (37:02-43:24) Bridging the Military Health System and the VA Dr. Cox explains why enrollment in VA health care is still opt-in rather than automatic, and what the failed Ensuring Veterans Transition Act would have changed. He contrasts the two patient populations and argues for moving providers and patients across both systems to preserve clinical currency and use existing VA capacity. (43:25-52:54) The Fifteen-Minute Walk: Resilience and Legacy A Navy admiral told him in 1997 to turn off the computer and go home, because the work will still be there in the morning. Dr. Cox and his wife have walked the dog together for fifteen minutes nearly every evening for more than fifteen years. He closes on what he wants remembered: integrity, treating people as people, and keeping the patient at the center of every decision. Take Home Messages Protective medical support is a discipline of seconds, not of clinical complexity. Caring for a president is less about the medicine than about position, communication, and rehearsal — a physician within seconds of the principal at all times, on the same radio frequency as the protective detail, staged on the side of the vehicle away from the threat. Every one of those procedures exists because a real failure in 1981 exposed the gap. Contingency planning is what converts a bad day into a survivable one. Accountability was redefined as punishment, and the substitution did real damage. In its original meaning, accountability is an objective, independent process for determining what actually happened. Congressional pressure turned it into a body count of terminations. You cannot fire your way to excellence, and a system that tries will lose the trust it needs to surface problems early. A just culture balances system responsibility against individual responsibility. People do not set out to make mistakes, and roughly 99.9 percent of the time they do not intend to harm anyone. Human error is inevitable, so the work is building systems that stop those errors before they reach the patient. Leaders and the system they run carry as much responsibility for prevention as the individual who erred. Command turns you from the team leader into the leader of a team of leaders. A clinician promoted into command arrives fluent in credentialing and clinical operations and largely ignorant of logistics, pharmacy, laboratory, and facilities management. The response is humility and questions, not bluff. Show up in the radiology suite on a Saturday morning and talk to the technician on duty, because the risks are visible at the front line and invisible in the C-suite. Protect fifteen minutes a day and the rest of the career becomes survivable. The work will still be there in the morning, so turn off the computer, go home, and have dinner with your family. One couple made a pledge at command leadership school to walk the dog together every evening, and more than fifteen years later they still do it. Careers can be slowed by choices made in favor of family; legacies are not.
