November 22, 2016 Ep. 84: Thanks (in Music)!

Sponsored by SimpliSafe
Jay ditches a traditional “Q&A” – a proper “Q&A” – to do a music program: a program of music related to Thanksgiving, or at least to thanksgiving: expressions of gratitude. You have some Baroque, including Bach, and some Beethoven, and some Strauss (Richard Strauss), and some Barber, and, finally, a cherished familiar hymn. Happy, happy Thanksgiving.

November 18, 2016 E83. An American Sheriff

November 18, 2016 Ep. 83: An American Sheriff
David Clarke is one of the most famous lawmen in America. He is the sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. He is a commanding personality who has much experience and much to say. And he says it very well.
Sheriff Clarke is a guest on National Review’s current cruise. Jay sat down with him for a “Q&A” in front of an audience.
They talk about his upbringing: Sheriff Clarke’s father was a military man, and he loved America, despite the injustices he experienced, as a black man. Then discussion turns to Sheriff Clarke’s early days as a policeman: What were they like? How are things different today? (They are VERY different, and worse.)
In due course, Jay and the sheriff talk about some key and controversial issues: the “militarization” of the police; drugs; guns; Black Lives Matter; the “Ferguson effect.”
Finally, Jay asks some “heavy” questions, as we used to say, once upon a time: Should a mom or dad want a son or daughter to join a police force? What about the burden that a sheriff or police chief bears, being responsible for the physical well-being of a large community?
At the end of this “Q&A,” the audience rose in applause for Sheriff Clarke. You’ll see why, when you listen.

November 17, 2016 E82. Greatness and Responsibility
America and the world after the election of Trump: This is the general topic of Jay’s “Q&A” with John Hillen – who is, as Jay says, a soldier, scholar, businessman, athlete, and, in a word, hombre. Their specific topics are Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Europe, NATO, Japan, South Korea, the U.S. military, NAFTA, freedom, and so on.

As Hillen pointed out to Jay, after the podcast, Churchill had a word to America when our nation was on the ascendant, internationally: “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Clearly a theme of our time.

Dana Perino is a leading personality on Fox News. She is also a former White House press secretary (for George W. Bush). She is just out with a book, “Let Me Tell You about Jasper …: How My Best Friend Became America’s Dog.”
Jay talks with Ms. Perino in her home, along with Jasper himself. They talk about him, of course, and about dogs. But also about broader issues in life, which a discussion of dogs can prompt. As far as Jay is concerned, the new book is essentially about love. The author does not disagree.
This is a “Q&A” off the beaten path – something for people of whatever political or ideological stripe. Even cats come in for a good word.

Anne Applebaum is one of the foremost writers on Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet Union. She is a columnist for the Washington Post, and has written several books: including “Gulag,” which won a Pulitzer prize.
She is Jay’s guest on “Q&A.” They talk about Russia and Putin. And Ukraine and Putin. And Europe and Putin. And America and Putin.
What does the Russian leader want to be? What does he want Russia to be? Why does it matter to the rest of us?
There are other questions too, concerning nationalism and anti-Semitism, for example. With Jay, Anne Applebaum talks about matters historic and contemporary. Also about the future.
To listen to her is an education, and refreshing, too. She speaks from broad and deep experience and study, and tells us what she knows, unflinchingly. Refreshing indeed.

October 24, 2016 E79. Things That Go Bump in Music
Jay takes advantage of “Q&A” to do away with “Q&A” and record a music program instead – this one related to Halloween. So there is a variety of spooky and devilish music – by Tartini, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and others. From a violin sonata to an aria to a horse ride into hell to a sorcerer (or rather, his apprentice). Enjoy, and don’t be too scared. The track list for this show is here. Source
