It seems as if every week the FBI search is searching the home of a person who has used, or still using, the title President or Vice President. These stories seem to be so ubiquitous that they are no longer newsworthy, well that definitely didn't stop our hosts from learning something about the world of document classification from a person who knows a thing or two about it. Professor Bob Deitz previously served as senior councillor to the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, was the general counsel at the National Security Agency,  held positions as acting general counsel at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and as acting deputy general counsel, intelligence, at the Department of Defense. In our levity filled discussion Professor Deitz unpacks everything there is to know about classifications and why the President and Vice President should be viewed differently. We then talk a little inside baseball about what the different intelligence communities think of each other, and how the formation of the Department of National Intelligence  didn't really scratch the itch after 9/11. Professor Deitz also got off about the FISA warrant...ahem...I mean order... and why it gets such a bad wrap. Finally we discuss the myth of over classification in this country and the importance of journalistic standards for publication of classified information.Guest Bio:Robert L. Deitz is a professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. Previously, he served as senior councillor to the director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2006 until February 2009. From September 1998 to September 2006, Deitz was the general counsel at the National Security Agency where he represented the NSA in all legal matters. He has also held positions as acting general counsel at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and as acting deputy general counsel, intelligence, at the Department of Defense.Deitz began his career as a law clerk to the Honorable Justices Douglas, Stewart, and White of the United States Supreme Court. He has also been in private practice and was special assistant to Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher and to Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph Califano during the Carter Administration.The Gospel and JusticeAs believers, how do we talk about justice well?Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showTo learn more about the show, contact our hosts, or recommend future guests, click on the links below: Website: https://www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/ Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Political Host: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Twitter: @FaithfulPolitik Instagram: faithful_politics Facebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast LinkedIn: faithfulpolitics

Last week, Haaretz reporter Ben Samuels was the only Israeli journalist to fly with the White House press delegation from Tel Aviv, Israel, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – a first-of-its-kind historic flight between two countries that officially still don't recognize one another. Almost 30 years ago, David Makovsky, then Haaretz's diplomatic correspondent, also visited Jeddah, accompanying U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher as part of the Oslo Accords-era flurry of Middle Eastern negotiations. Two rare visits by Haaretz reporters to the most powerful country in the Arab world, and three decades of historical change in between them. On this week's episode, Samuels and Makovsky join host Allison Kaplan Sommer to talk about their unique experiences writing for an Israeli newspaper from the kingdom. Makovsky, today a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, shares why he is optimistic about Biden's Middle East trip, even though the president did not “break ground” on the Palestinian or Iran issues. Samuels, our Washington correspondent, explains why the trip “marked the conscious uncoupling of Israel and the Palestinians in the eyes of U.S. policymakers.” Listen to the full conversation to also hear what they see next for Biden's Middle East policy.

It’s been a long day of driving for this 23 year old looking for work. Feeling desperate, he pulls off the deserted road in Alaska, walks in to an airplane hanger and begs for a job cleaning toilets and scrubbing floors. A deep, gruff voice yells out from the shadows – “Hey asshole, come in here” That night a young kid with a New York accent and ill fitting suit is reading the sports news live at the Anchorage ABC affiliate. Quite literally within hours a Star Is Born and Barry Kibrick, who now has a long standing show on PBS, will always remember his highly unusual road to success. Barry Kibrick is the much loved and respected host of the Emmy award winning PBS show “Between the Lines” which has been on air for the past 22 years. Barry’s guests have included some of the most respected authors, directors, musicians, scientists, philosophers, and business and political leaders from around the globe. From Queen Noor of Jordan, and Secretary of State Warren Christopher to James Ellroy and Sir Ridley Scott – he’s interviewed the world’s greatest thinkers and players. What makes Barry’s interviews so memorable and a favorite for many who’ve been on his show, is his ability to notice the smallest and often overlooked details of their work, surprising even the most seasoned interviewees like Ron Howard. It was fun to sit down with this skillful interviewer, who started his career in an Alaskan airplane hanger, and put him in the hot seat for once and see who is going to interrogate whom.
