In this episode of High Noon with Inez Stepman, Inez interviews Rebeccah Heinrichs. Heinrichs is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and an adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics, a graduate school for national affairs. She specializes in national security, international relations, arms control, and missile defense, and she has served as an expert in that capacity in the U.S. House of Representatives.Heinrichs and Stepman discuss the impact of our incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan on the future of American foreign policy and on our relationships with our allies. They also search for a middle ground between isolationism and nation-building around the world, and what a hard-headed, realistic foreign policy might look like. Ultimately, Heinrichs argues, our foreign policy success is dependent on us reclaiming what it means to be American here at home.--High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.

In this episode of High Noon with Inez Stepman, IWF fellow and The Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky rejoins the podcast to do a requiem on the domestic impact of the Afghanistan debacle.Inez and Emily lay out the dire (but well-deserved) situation with regard to institutional trust and how this international failure will impact the way that Americans think of their government and especially their leadership class.If Americans on both the left and the right clearly see that their elite does not deserve power or trust, what are the possibilities of a populist alliance? Are the two halves of the populist rebellion too culturally different to ever form a single political coalition?--High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.
