Podcasts about USS George Washington

Well, they're back at it again. The US and Iran last week conducted another round of strikes and counter-strikes, their first since mid-July. This time Iran claims to have targeted with ballistic missiles (and successfully damaged) a US Navy destroyer and aircraft carrier - presumably the USS George Washington. CENTCOM denied they were hit, but acknowledged the attempt, and obliterated 3 laden Iranian oil tankers as 'punishment'. While this situation remains very tense, and occasionally...

The United States national debt reached a record-breaking $40 trillion dollars this week. If you spread out that debt to every resident of the U.S., we would each owe more than $115,000 dollars.

He's the vice president of general economics at the Cato Institute.And in headlines, Trump-fixer-turned-frenemy Michael Cohen hosted the president on his radio show, the USS George Washington aircraft carrier is relieving the long-deployed USS Abraham Lincoln, and a Texas court slashes a $50 million judgment against Infowars founder Alex Jones to about $6 million.Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/

Freddy Gray is joined by Andrew Cockburn, Washington editor of Harper's Magazine, to discuss the state of the US Navy as the USS George Washington arrives in the Arabian Sea to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln, whose crew have sent home photographs of blocked lavatories, rotting rations and sailors who have lost a stone or more.Freddy and Andrew examine why the Iranian strike on the Navy's supply base in Bahrain has left the fleet resupplying from Diego Garcia, why Trump has ordered $50 billion of new launch systems ripped out and steam catapults put back, and whether Trump is now trapped in a war he can never admit he has not won.Learn how to earn yield on gold, paid in gold, at Monetary-Metals.com/AmericanoProduced by Henry LloydBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

The Women's National Basketball Association has been making the headlines lately. In fact, according to a Media Matters report, since the end of June, Fox News has devoted at least 206 segments to the WNBA. But why are the likes of Sean Hannity and Bret Baier suddenly paying such close attention to women's basketball? To get to the bottom of how the most LGBTQ-friendly sports league became a favorite subject of the right-wing media, we spoke with Leah Asmelash, a culture writer for CNN.And in headlines, the USS George Washington aircraft carrier is headed to the Middle East to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln, Luigi Mangione pleads guilty, and Cards Against Humanity wants you to join its “Official Elon Musk is a Sad Little Bitch with No Friends Monument Design Committee.”Show Notes: Check out Leah's piece – tinyurl.com/3m6v5sxksophie-cunningham-caitlin-clark-trans-bans-cec Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

Today's Headlines: The USS Abraham Lincoln is being replaced by the USS George Washington after reporting that sailors who had been at sea for over 250 days without disembarking attempted to take their own lives — Hegseth insists the conditions are being "completely misrepresented," Democrats in Congress are demanding answers, and the Pentagon quietly swapping out the carrier while denying there's a problem is its own kind of answer. Meanwhile, US intelligence officials were actually fairly skeptical about the credibility of the Iran assassination threat that sent Trump fleeing Air Force One in a catering truck, and it was relayed to the CIA by the Israeli government — with some suggesting it was designed to pressure Trump into restarting the war. In Trump drama news, The Kennedy Center's board voted to defy a federal court order and restore Trump's name to the facade — now reading "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump" — before closing for two years of renovations, because nothing says respect for the arts like slapping your name on a building and then shutting it down. A federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit against Harvard over alleged antisemitism on campus, calling the cases "too isolated and episodic" to prove a civil rights violation, and the DOJ is already assessing next steps. And finally, Luigi Mangione is expected to appear in federal court today to potentially plead guilty to federal charges, while his state murder trial is still set for September 8th — and if he pleads guilty federally, his attorneys could argue double jeopardy to get the state charges dismissed.

This hour, Scoot continues his conversation about old New Orleans buildings that were demolished. President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to overhaul the federal childhood vaccination schedule, reducing universally recommended immunizations from 18 diseases down to 11 and proposing that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine be split into three separate shots. The administration frames the policy as a "gold standard" approach meant to provide parents with flexibility and bring the U.S. into alignment with peer European nations. However, the move has drawn intense criticism from global health agencies, medical groups, and political figures who warn that dismantling combined vaccines goes against decades of established medical evidence and could exacerbate ongoing disease outbreaks. The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is currently facing intense congressional scrutiny over a severe mental health and supply crisis among its 5,000 crew members. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has set a modern-day record during the ongoing conflict with Iran, marking over 260 consecutive days at sea with almost no port stops. In response to the growing crisis, the military is preparing to send the USS George Washington (or alternatively the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group) to the Arabian Sea to replace the carrier. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down from her position at the end of August 2026 to spend more time with her young family. President Donald Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, noting that she will transition into a role as one of his top outside advisors and remain an influential voice within the Republican Party.

On today's show, A federal murder-for-hire trial has begun in New Orleans, marking the latest development in the FBI's long-running "Operation Sideswipe" investigation. The case centers around a sprawling, multi-million dollar scheme where "slammers" deliberately crashed cars into 18-wheelers to secure massive fraudulent insurance settlements. Demolition of the long-abandoned Lindy Boggs Medical Center officially began on. Heavy machinery moved into the Mid-City site in New Orleans, marking the end of a 21-year vacancy that turned the former hospital into one of the city's most prominent post-Katrina eyesores.

Understand Your Motivational Style and How to Adapt Your Communication Approach: A Conversation with Beka Shea  In the latest episode of Conversations in Depth, host Doug Keith talks with Beka Shea, Founder & Executive Advisor of Magnetic Consulting. Beka discusses her path from Naval officer and mechanical engineer to client and business advisor, and how behavioral analytics can help both individuals and teams understand their own communication styles and be better communicators as a result. With ambitions to be a pilot, Beka completed an undergraduate ROTC program and joined the Navy, serving as the Assistant Training Officer on an aircraft carrier, the USS George Washington. She finished an advanced degree in mechanical engineering and moved into the private sector as an engineer at NORESCO, a carrier company focused on energy efficiency and sustainability. She's since led one consulting firm and founded another, created a real estate investment business, and has become an in-demand public speaker. With her team at Magnetic, she helps growth-stage companies align their leadership teams, improve decision-making, and scale with confidence.   In this conversation, Beka will share what she's learned about key types of motivational factors that typically define team members—Sharks (autonomy), Sunshines (social) and Shepherds (knowledge)—so you can think about what motivates you and how this influences your own communication approach. Through this assessment you can learn how to adapt your communications as a consultant with both respondents and clients, while avoiding letting your best traits become your Achilles heel. https://www.magneticconsulting.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bekashea/

About our guest: Lieutenant Commander (Ret.) James Sandifer, a proud native of Lumberton, Mississippi, served 30 years in the United States Navy. Rising from E-1 to Lieutenant Commander, he built a decorated career in air traffic control and leadership across multiple global deployments and operational theaters. Sandifer is a combat-tested veteran who supported Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, with tours onboard CVNs like the USS George Washington and USS Harry S. Truman. His military journey is rooted in faith, mentorship, and resilience. Now back home and running for mayor of Lumberton, Sandifer's “Choose to Change” campaign is focused on unity, youth empowerment, infrastructure reform, and restoring pride in the community.   About This Episode: In this episode, Damo, Tisha, and Aaron sit down with retired Navy Lieutenant Commander James Sandifer—Lumberton, Mississippi native and current mayoral candidate—for a candid and inspiring conversation about leadership, legacy, and choosing to change your community from the inside out. James reflects on his upbringing in a small Southern town, the values he inherited working hayfields and watermelon farms, and how that foundation set the tone for a 30-year career in the U.S. Navy. He opens up about early career missteps, nearly getting derailed during his first tour in Puerto Rico, and the life-altering mentorship that set him on a new trajectory. From rising through the ranks to Chief and ultimately retiring as a Lieutenant Commander, James shares the hard lessons he learned about leadership, ego, humility, and faith. He talks about earning respect in the air traffic control community despite being told he wouldn't make it, and how mentorship from both Black and white leaders helped mold his character. The episode also explores Sandifer's return home to a town that's seen population decline, economic challenges, and systemic neglect. He breaks down his “Choose to Change” campaign platform, highlighting issues like school district failures, sewage infrastructure, poverty, and racial division. But more importantly, he speaks on unity, youth empowerment, and what it truly means to serve after service. We also get lighter moments: push-up competitions on the campaign trail, his Waffle House order, and why Cuevas Fish House will always outrank Ruth's Chris in his book. These and more topics are explored in this episode.   To have your “Do Better” reviewed on a future episode, please get in touch with us at ptsfpodcast@gmail.com Keep up with the ‘Permission to Speak Freely' podcast on our social media and YouTube - https://linktr.ee/Ptsfpodcast       James' Book Recommendation: Chop Wood Carry Water (Joshua Medcalf) https://www.amazon.com/Chop-Wood-Carry-Water-audiobook/dp/B01MS3QS8K   Follow James Sandifer and his campaign for Mayor of Lumberton: @voteforsandifer (Linktree) https://linktr.ee/voteforsandifer?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=c190aa3f-d12d-4be2-8009-1fef6f18fec1       Additional Credits: PTSF “Theme Music” - Produced by Lim0

Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…A special report, at sea aboard the aircraft carrier USS GEORGE WASHINGTON. The ship emerged in May from the longest-ever overhaul of any US aircraft carrier and is working up to return next year as the US Navy's forward-deployed carrier in Japan. You'll hear from the ship's captain and others we talked to during a two-day embark at sea.

Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week...The U.S. Navy's largest mishap involving almost a dozen destroyers occurred off the coast of California 100 years ago. What lessons from the infamous Honda Point incident remain relevant today? And what can we learn from the introduction of new technology whether it be uncrewed or involve advanced manufacturing? We talk to retired Navy Captain and noted navalist Dr. Jerry Hendrix for his take as well as a look at breaking news out of the Black Sea.  A quick show note, given the length of our conversation with Jerry and the fact that my colleague Chris Cavas is underway on USS George Washington we will forgo our normal weekly review of headlines and jump right into the Honda point conversation. Don't worry Chris will be back next week with great fleet content and a return to our normal run of show.

The Pentagon says it accidentally overvalued U.S. military aid to Ukraine by $3 billion. The accounting error means there is still over $5 billion in funding available for Ukraine. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have commented on New York City's approach to the illegal immigrant surge. The city is now housing such immigrants in public school gyms and historic hotels. The U.S. Navy plans to make changes in the wake of a series of suicides last year. In April 2022, three sailors from the USS George Washington died by suicide within one week. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV
