Send us a textStrap in, kids—this episode is a buffet of DoD chaos, spicy geopolitical moves, and “WTF are we even doing?” headlines. Jared unleashes on everything from the sketchiest Air Force One replacement idea ever (thanks, Qatar) to Golden Dome missile pipe dreams and the absolute circus that is Cyber Command's latest identity crisis.We're also sending ICE to Marine bases, cutting 14% of Space Force civilians (brilliant), and relying on $26 million to keep Reserve pilots in the sky. Oh, and if you thought privatizing base lodging was gonna save anyone money—LOL, you're adorable.All this while the Air Force plays catch-up with drone integration, and Netflix somehow makes the Thunderbirds look cost-effective. Welcome to another day in the Pentagon's magical clown tent.

Send us a textWelcome to the May 8th Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down another round of Pentagon chaos with his signature sarcasm. On today's menu: the DoD admits it probably won't pass an audit… for at least another 3 years (LOL), military daycares struggle with child abuse reporting (yikes), and the Pentagon's cyber warriors are apparently fighting cartels with keyboards at the border (sure, why not?).Meanwhile, the KC-46 Pegasus finally clears its cracked ribs, the F-15EX basing drama gets messier, and SOCOM's new aircraft is already asking for upgrades—less than a year in. Over in Space Force? They're making a planetarium movie to convince you they're not just a meme, while also quietly building a new orbital warfare “product line.” Oh, and North Korea? Still launching missiles. No big deal.

Matt Hall    Budget earmark transparency in the House (the deadline for lawmakers to submit their requests was last week, so the requests are public).    He'd also like to discuss working with President Trump to bring a new fighter mission to Selfridge and keep invasive Asian carp out of the Great Lakes.

Senator Aric (Eric‑with‑an‑A) Nesbitt says Michigan's tumbling into the bottom‑ten club thanks to Governor Whitmer's spend‑and‑tax spree, busted roads, and a Green New “Scam” that carpets farmland with Chinese solar panels. He warns the state will lose 700 k people over the next generation unless it slams on the progressive brakes and embraces lower taxes, abundant energy, and business‑friendly rules. On the bright side, he touts wins brokered with President Trump—F‑15s for Selfridge, a fast‑tracked Line 5 tunnel, and stricter border security—as proof conservative governance delivers. Running for governor, Nesbitt pitches a back‑to‑basics playbook: fix roads without new taxes, block foreign land grabs, keep energy cheap, and make Michigan the place where people want to live, work, and build again.Quick‑hit takeawaysMichigan in the cellar: Whitmer's policies dragged the state to 43rd/44th in national rankings—broken roads, broken schools, ballooning spend, and a $9 billion surplus “printed away.”Population cliff: Stay the course and Michigan could bleed 700 k residents in 30 years—“poorer, dumber, with fewer opportunities.”Why he's running: Nesbitt frames the 2026 race as a fork in the road: status‑quo decline vs. a pro‑growth reset.Trump partnership wins: Selfridge lands F‑15s and hundreds of jobs; Line 5 tunnel fast‑tracked, securing propane for 400 k homes.Green New “Scam”: Dem energy law will industrialize 300 k farm/forest acres with subsidized Chinese solar panels—angering rural voters and handing the GOP a 2026 rallying cry.Farmland sovereignty: Pledges to block foreign (read: Chinese) land buys that threaten food security.Roads without tax hikes: Fix infrastructure by reprioritizing, not raising taxes.Make‑things‑in‑Michigan agenda: Lower taxes, faster permits, reliable cheap energy, right‑to‑work restored, “capital follows the path of least resistance.”Border & security brag: Cites Trump's 99.98 % drop in illegal crossings, vows to keep momentum.Get in touch: directs voters to NesbittForGovernor.com and social platforms for Q&A and events.

Andrew Davies, prominent author and screenwriter, began his career writing radio plays and eventually moved into writing for television, film, and theater. He is also the author of several novels and children's books. In addition to the screen adaptations of Austen's novels mentioned above, he has dramatized television series such as Bleak House, House of Cards (ITV), Mr. Selfridge, Little Dorrit, To Serve Them All My Days, Vanity Fair, and War & Peace, in addition to films such as Bridget Jones's Diary, and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Andrew's work has garnered dozens of nominations and awards, and in 2002, he received the highest honor bestowed by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, a BAFTA Fellowship, in recognition of his “outstanding achievement in the art forms of the moving image.” For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep18.Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

I sometimes surf social media in search of someone I think might be an excellent guest for this show. When I found retired US Army soldier Orvie B. Baker, Jr. I knew I had found true excellence! See, Orvie is a former SARC, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, for the Army SAPRO (Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office). He has tons of experience as a sexual assault victim advocate and supervised and trained other Army SA victim advocates. Something even more extraordinary about Orvie is that after he retired from the Army, he went back to school and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital Cinematography! And now he's using that new-found love of movie making to produce a full-length documentary about the nation's first , located at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That was the post I found that made me want to reach out to Orvie…and I'm so glad I did! The fact that there is a Survivors Memorial blew me away! What a phenomenal idea!...but then to have someone with as much passion and zeal for victims and survivors as Orvie to come up with the idea to produce a documentary about the Memorial…boom!...mind blown! I just had to reach out to Orvie to see if he would be a guest on SASS, and fortunately for all of us, he agreed. Orvie goes into detail about how he found out about the Memorial, and what he did to start production of his documentary. This is a fascinating story, so don't miss this episode!! Accompanying Orvie's idea to produce his documentary, he also has a push going to get others interested in this project so that other memorials dedicated to survivors of sexual violence could be built in each state. Think that's a great idea?—me too! Which is why I want to encourage you to donate to Orvie so that he can get this documentary marketed to help get the word out. Orvie has a GoFundMe campaign that you can go to and donate! The link is , and listed below in case this link doesn't work on some podcast platforms. Let's do this: let's honor Orvie's service to this country and to his work as a SARC, and to his amazing idea to produce the documentary, by financially supporting Orvie! He also has a Patreon donation campaign that you can donate to or at the address listed below. On top of all that Orvie has done and is doing, he also wrote a children's book about staying safe from sexual predators called, “Don't Touch Me! Say No to Sexual Harassment,” that can be found on Amazon. I've read it…I highly recommend it! Orvie provided me with his bio...here it is: MR. ORVIE B. BAKER, JR. Orvie B. Baker, Jr. is a Chicago Native who moved to Louisiana at an early age and has been traveling ever since. Mr. Baker joined the Army immediately after High School,attending Basic Training in South Carolina; Army Individual Training and Airborne Training in Georgia; then serving at his first duty station at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Mr. Baker's enlistment offered multiple overseas experiences, including: Germany, Spain, England, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Iraq. In 2003, he attended the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) and became an Army Equal Opportunity Advisor (EOA). In 2005, Mr. Baker deployed to Iraq as an EOA and, upon his return, transitioned to an Instructor at DEOMI. After twenty years in uniform, Mr. Baker was back in front of troops, in a civilian- capacity, as a Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention (SHARP) Instructor working to certify Victim Advocates and Sexual Assault Response Coordinators for the Army. Mr. Baker served as an Educator and Presenter for Catharsis Productions where he co-presented “Got Your Back”, a 90-minute interactive SHARP presentation. From 2014 to 2016 he conducted training the world over from the United States to Japan and areas in between . In his most recent position, Mr. Baker served as the 127th Wing Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Manager at Selfridge from 2017 to 2019 and represented the organization both on and off Base. He was instrumental with standing up the 127th Wing Airmen Wellness Center; always the consummate motivator he earned the nickname, "DJ SAPR".

Starting from working in chilly weather as a labourer to dressing up as a mermaid and hosting major festival stages, Jim Cregan's journey is a rollercoaster of unexpected twists.   After hitting a low point and deciding that festivals and labour weren't his calling, Jim headed to Australia for a breather. It was there, in a random petrol station, that he stumbled upon ready-to-drink iced coffee and fell in love with its coolness.   Returning to the UK, Jim, along with his sister Suze, took a leap of faith and founded Jimmy's Iced Coffee in 2011. Before hitting the shelves of Selfridge's, they tested their creation on surfers and tired binmen, proving that their iced coffee was a hit.   With hard work and boundless enthusiasm, they turned their vision into a thriving business. Jimmy's Iced Coffee became a household name found in stores all over the UK.   Fast forward to July 2023, and Jim and Suze made a big decision. They sold Jimmy's Iced Coffee to Britvic, a soft drinks giant, but here's the twist—they're not saying goodbye. Jim and Suze are staying on as ambassadors to guide the brand's future.
