On this episode of UnAmerican, Brandon, Franklin and Jim conclude our conversation on America's 20 year war in the Middle East. This time around, we'll discuss President Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and we'll debate what went wrong as well as what went right, what we should have expected from the situation as citizens and equally what Biden should have expected as President. Was our exit from the region a lapse in judgement, a necessary evil or a sensible strategy? Was there a failure on the part of the administration or the intelligence community? Could we have ended America's longest war with any other outcome? We'll scrutinize all of these questions and more on this final installment of "Forever Wars" and we'll finally take some time to classify the important actors that we've discussed throughout this grievous trilogy.

On this episode of UnAmerican, Brandon, Franklin and Jim find themselves in the middle installment of our conversation about America's longest war zone, Afghanistan. We'll wind down the Bush years, have our hopes lifted and dashed inside the Obama years and rub the skin from our foreheads during the Trump years. From prisoner treatment at Guantanamo Bay and killing Osama bin Laden to the ever-changing number of troops in the region and fairy-tale promises of ending the multiple war(s), we definitely have a hefty timeline to dissect this week. Reminder: We endorse taking safe amounts of aspirin during some of our episodes, or at least having some nearby...

On this episode of UnAmerican, Brandon, Franklin and Jim begin to discuss America's longest war in Afghanistan. In part one of this three part series we'll examine how September 11, 2001 set the stage for a rapid expansion of presidential powers and how those powers also expanded the stated objectives of our mission against Al-Qaeda and quickly propelled the country into many wars in the Middle East. We'll also look at who benefited the most from the perpetual wars and we'll debate if the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq didn't play out exactly as a few profiteers had anticipated.

On this episode of UnAmerican, Brandon and Franklin discuss Fox News personality, Laura Ingraham. More specifically we'll listen to the August 11, 2021 episode of her show The Ingraham Angle and all of the absurdity that comes along with that privilege. We'll laugh at the irony of her exploitation of children while warning of the dangers of child exploitation and we'll cry as she lazily fails to draw any connections to or from the boxes in which she attempts to to trap her perceived enemies . From Covid and Fauci to Socialism and Critical Race Theory, Laura has her deck of cards on the table for this episode. We'll evaluate the hand she plays and whether or not it pays off for her effort.

On this episode of UnAmerican: Premium, Brandon, Franklin and Jim play a we like to call "Convince Me I'm Wrong". The rules are simple: We'll read off pre-written prompts and have short form debates on a variety of topics. Much like life in general, the points don't matter and there are no winners. The object of this game is as simple as it's name. Enjoy!

This week, Brandon and Franklin discuss sexual deviancy for a third week in a row as we offer an update to our previous conversation on the ever-changing Andrew Cuomo saga. We'll dive into allegations and investigations of sexual harassment and we'll look at the latest criminal complaints against the embattled governor of New York. Join us as we take this one time "anti-Trump hero" to task over his dismissive explanations of the details of these investigations and collectively breath a sigh of 'good riddance' as he finally offers up his resignation on this installment of UnAmerican.

On this episode of UnAmerican, Brandon, Franklin and Jim return to finish our conversation about embattled Florida Representative, Matt Gaetz. We'll discuss his co-headlined "America First" tour and in doing so we'll have the opportunity to catch up with our old friend, Georgia Representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Join us as we figuratively hit the road with these two kooks as they fail to remember the talking points they stole from your favorite memes and as we asses the highlights and many low-lights of this cross country grift. If ever you've had trouble understanding the definitions of "irony" or "hypocrisy", this episode is surely one that will guide you in the right direction.

Inspired by a recent vacation, on this episode of UnAmerican, Brandon, Franklin and Jim sit down for the first of this two-part conversation to discuss congressman, Matt Gaetz. From his recent sex trafficking scandal to obstruction of justice and all of the self revelations he offers in between we will examine the controversies surrounding this Florida Representative and try to make sense of him trying to make sense of it all. We'll also find ourselves discussing some familiar characters along the way.

This week we attempt to recoup from our Shapiro-hangover by pressing pause on the normal monotony and instead we dive back into some Bonus Content and the wacky world of Coast to Coast AM. On this installment Franklin, Brandon and Jim talk about Stephen Quayle and try to stay focused long enough to grasp his belief system while debating if there is any conspiracy that he doesn't believe. After listening to this episode we are confident that some of our listeners will talk to their doctor about Ritalin... The great news is that if this episode has you itching for more ramblings from Stephen Quayle, Part 2 of his madness can be found on our Patreon page at patreon.com/unamerican.

Enjoy!
