Show Notes

Another week, another walk. And this time it’s somewhere different. We sent your host Paul Rieckhoff west to get some rest and so far it isn’t in the cards. From Trump crashing the economy to breaking news that Pete Hegseth’s cronies were allegedly removed from the Pentagon for leaking word of Elon’s China briefing, there’s a lot to keep up with. Even when you’re “on vacation”. Paul checks in from the home of the Navy SEALS: Coronado, California.

And then there’s the guest. The kind of guest you hope to get. The kind of guest you make time for, regardless of where you are or what you’re doing.

Legendary chess grandmaster and master strategist Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) joins Paul for an in depth look at the conflict in Ukraine and what the future might hold, for them and for us. He’s a political activist and voice of conscience who’s squared off directly with Putin. He’s held the line for freedom. And you can only get it here.
