François Picard welcomes former US Assistant Secretary of Defense Jim Townsend and former US Air Force officer Michael (Mikey) Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Is American military power becoming an instrument of political and religious coercion, both at home and abroad? From the reported restrictions on Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite communications to the Trump administration's overtures towards Russian President Vladimir Putin and the growing controversy over religious ideology within the Pentagon, the two guests offer a stark assessment of the direction of American foreign and defence policy.

Mikey, I’m so glad that you’re finally getting some positive recognition for your hard, very important, honorable work. I try not to get my hopes up, but I sense the tide is turning. You’ve given the saner people in the military a place to turn. You’re an inspiration and a hero.

As Churchill said, “Never, never, never give up.” And you haven’t. Thank you.

Mikey

Your moment has indeed arrived “thanks” to the extremely dangerous behavior by our Sec of Defense fully supported by our sick and dangerous President

Because of his behavior your own decades long brave and highly competent work against religious intolerance in the US DoD has moved now to front and center in the US mainstream media. Long overdue

The nation now looks to YOU (MRFF), the courts, and of course the voters to put an immediate cessation to the illegal activities of Sec Hegseth and President Trump before a genuine catastrophe happens within the DoD thus endangering us all – likely sooner than later

I will widely circulate any press releases from you to my VIP list.

Please Stay Well AND SAFE!

Richard A. Lippin MD, Retired Activist Physician
