Summary

This episode was recorded on September 30, 2021. Congressman Dan Crenshaw and I discuss the fallout of withdrawing from Afghanistan and the details of the 20-plus-year conflict. We talk about life as a US congressman and his experience as a US Navy SEAL. About social media and politics–especially in relation to modern conservatism. And about climate change. On that note, we also examined Dan’s recently-published ”Fortitude: American Resilience in the Era of Outrage.” Dan is a retired Navy SEAL with five deployments overseas during the Afghan and Iraq wars. While in Afghanistan, an IED blast led to Dan losing his right eye. Crenshaw was elected to Congress in 2018, where he serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee (broadest jurisdiction out of all legislative committees). Dan also serves on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Jordan B Peterson podcast season four episode 71. I'm Michaela Peterson.
0:05.7	This was a great episode. Congressman Dan Crenshaw and my dad discussed the fallout of
0:11.6	withdrawing from Afghanistan and the details of a conflict that kept us there for over 20 years.
0:18.1	They also get into topics like what life is like as a U.S. Congressman, the relationship between
0:23.7	social media and politics, modern conservatism, Dan's experience as a Navy seal and more. I don't
0:30.9	want to spoil the rest. Dan Crenshaw is a Republican Congressman in Texas and former Navy seal officer.
0:38.4	In one of his deployments to Afghanistan, an IED improvised explosive device blast led Dan
0:46.1	to losing his right eye. If there was any one I would want to be an eventual president, it would be him.
0:52.3	In 2018, he was elected to Congress and he serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee,
0:57.7	which has the broadest jurisdiction of any legislative committee. Dan recently published his book

1:23.9	life insurance, especially term coverage, which is surprisingly affordable. Why not pay a bet each
1:30.2	month to protect the ones you love? If you're asking yourself this question, ladders probably the
1:35.2	right choice for you. Ladder is 100% digital. No doctors, no needles, no paperwork. When you apply
1:42.0	for less than $3 million in coverage, seriously, some life insurance makes you go to a bunch of tests.
1:49.4	If you do prefer to talk to a person, their team of licensed agents don't work on commission,
1:54.8	so they're not there to upsell you just to help. If you want to do it yourself, you'll just need
1:59.6	a few minutes in a phone or a laptop. A tablet's fine too. With smart algorithms working in real time,
2:05.6	Ladder lets you know if you're approved on the spot. There are no hidden fees whatsoever.
2:10.4	Starting at $5 a month, you can cancel whenever you want and get a full free refund if you change
