   Bryan Mark Rigg: 150,000 Jews in Hitler's Army, and the Medal of Honor Hero Who Lied

   Bryan Mark Rigg failed first grade twice. Today he's a Yale and Cambridge-trained historian, a former Marine Corps officer, and the author of six books on World War II that have rewritten what we thought we knew about the war. In this episode, Stan sits down with Bryan to unpack three of his most explosive findings: That 150,000 men of Jewish descent served in Hitler's military, and that Hitler himself signed thousands of exemption papers declaring individual Jews "Aryan." That the "ideal Aryan soldier" on Goebbels' propaganda magazine turned out to have a Jewish father. That a half-Jewish German veteran broke down on camera when he learned his wife and baby boy had been gassed at Auschwitz, and that his second wife discovered, in the same moment, after 50 years of marriage, that she was the second wife. That Woody Williams, the last living Medal of Honor recipient from Iwo Jima, fabricated key parts of his story. That a Marine Corps general told Bryan, "don't publish the truth, publish the myth." That Bryan said no, and Woody slapped him with a federal lawsuit. Bryan won at the Supreme Court of West Virginia. That Japan killed 30 million people during World War II, three times more than Nazi Germany, and almost no one knows. We also talk about Bryan's own American story. Severe dyslexia, ADHD, an MBD diagnosis at age six, a mother named MaryLee Rigg who refused to give up, and the small-classroom private schools that taught him how to read. The boy from Arlington, Texas who made it to Yale, the Marine Corps, and Cambridge. It's a conversation about hidden history, the cost of telling the ugly truth, and what America makes possible.

I Was Ready to Die With Him at Sea: Alison Gieschen

Published 20 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And at some point, to make the judgment, does humanity appreciate the gifts of the earth? Or have we gotten so far away, removed from them, that we don't even care anymore about these incredible creatures? Talking about the environment, you traveled on a boat, on the sea. Has that made you maybe more aware of the impact of humans on the planet, on the environment? Absolutely. As sailors, like as a community, we really care about our oceans because this is our home. So sometimes we go to islands or whatever in it that you can see all this trash all over and we'll get together. We'll go around and we'll pick up trash. […]
