I love your podcast, but using American Giant as the example that the entire garment industry can shift production to the US is misinformed. The US currently does not have the capabilities to manufacture and mill many different types of fabrics, sewing and finishing techniques. American Giant focuses on cotton rich and basic styles that do not have special finishes. It comes down to machinery and skill set in this country. The training of labor , and cost to buy very expensive equipment will put brands out of business and into the business of creating trade schools which small apparel businesses are not able to support. Please interview a range of brands to understand why Made in the USA is truly not possible for the next 10 years minimum. We don’t all want to go back to the Gap basics of the 80’s as our only choice for apparel which is what American Giant has done.
This relatively little-known gem of a podcast provides a unique insight to major news items that often simply can’t be found elsewhere (and I mean from other, major providers like Beck and O’Reilly, both of whom I trust and follow). Brian’s CIA background and acumen make for a focused presentation that punches well above its weight class. Coming from a viewpoint of national security and intelligence, it’s an indispensable source for news and analysis. Highly recommended.
I just shared this episode in our extended family chat thread. It has important tips for every generation. Thank you Bryan for putting it altogether in summary episodes!!
Super interesting and easy to listen to. He covers things that you don’t hear anywhere else and is able to give informed commentary from experience. Love this podcast!
Bryan regularly gets the facts and data wrong. Worse, he encourages his listeners to engage with him but then blocks those who call out his errors. Bryan portrays an air of objectivity but he is just the bottom shelf version of the ideological talking heads on TV (think Rachel Maddow). If you want real, objective news, I would recommend The President’s Daily Brief, Honestly (The Free Press) or something similar.
I was told this show was a guy who just shared the facts. Nope. Super biased. For example, he mentions so many facts about Matt Geatz except that he has been under investigation for statuary rape and fellow ultra conservative congressman have noted his exploits with complete disdain. There are so many instances of ultra right bias; it’s not worth anyone’s time who takes news seriously.
