Episode notes
Send us Fan Mail Apparently the military needs another combatant command. This one, though, might actually make sense. Trent and Peaches break down the proposed four-star command focused on autonomous warfare — unmanned aircraft, robotics, counter-drone systems, networks, software, offensive capabilities, defensive capabilities, and all the other technology that has gone from “cool science project” to absolutely essential on the modern battlefield. Ukraine made the problem impossible to ig...

Public Execution - Ep 634
Send us Fan Mail Should the government livestream an execution? Trent and Peaches get into the proposed public execution of the Fort Hood shooter — and immediately land somewhere that is probably going to piss off people on both sides. Neither guy has much sympathy for the man convicted of killing 13 people and wounding dozens more at Fort Hood. The argument is about something different: Should Americans be able to WATCH the punishment? They dig into why public executions disappeared fro...

TRUST COLLAPSE with Aaron and Ben Pappas live
Send us Fan Mail Why don’t Americans trust institutions anymore? Aaron Love joins Ben Pappas for a live conversation about collapsing confidence in government, media, the justice system, major institutions, and the people who are supposed to tell us the truth. Ben starts with polling discussed on the show showing confidence in major U.S. institutions near historic lows — while the military and small business remain among the most trusted. So what happened?

Just Listen - Ep 631
Send us Fan Mail Trent and Peaches get into a problem the Air Force needs to think about now — not five years from now. Airmen are coming home from combat experiences that may look very different from what the GWOT generation went through. And one of the fastest ways senior leaders can screw this up is by immediately saying: “I know what you went through.” Maybe you don’t. Trent talks about coming home from early deployments and hearing people try to relate to experiences they had never ...

Where Are They? - Ep 630
Send us Fan Mail Trent and Peaches start with the completely normal question of whether Noah’s Ark has finally been found after 4,300 years. From there, naturally, they end up fixing marriage, military careers, Air Force talent management, bureaucracy, government civilians, and the apparent disappearance of larger-than-life Air Force leaders. The Noah’s Ark claim kicks off a conversation about truth, archaeology, UFOs, and the uncomfortable reality that even if somebody definitively proved ...

End Malaria with Dr. Steiger - Ep 627
Send us Fan Mail Aaron sits down with Dr. Bill Steiger to talk about a problem most Americans assume belongs somewhere else: Malaria...Except it doesn’t. Dr. Steiger explains why global health is directly connected to American national security, military readiness, economic stability, and early warning for infectious disease. Stopping an outbreak overseas is a whole lot easier than dealing with it after it reaches American shores. And malaria is not some ancient problem we already defeated ...
