Description

What do a military expert and a yoga master possibly share in common? When it comes to Israel and the October 7th War, more than you might imagine. And it all starts with shared values. Co-hosts Andrew Fox and Shana Meyerson believe that Israel has a right to defend itself in this just war on terror, and they stand absolutely committed to fighting Jew Hatred and protecting Western Civilization, both now and into the future. Perhaps the unlikeliest of duos, veteran paratrooper Andrew Fox and yogi podcaster Shana Meyerson chat weekly from the UK and LA about important developments in the Middle East, antisemitism, and anything else that comes to mind... ANDREW FOX is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, teaching in the War Studies and Behavioural Science departments. In the last year he has visited Gaza twice as well as Hezbollah tunnels in Lebanon. Andrew is a regular Middle East commentator on GB News, TalkTV and LBC radio, and has been published in The Spectator, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, New York Post and The Tablet, amongst others.

Eco-Friendly Antisemitism 🪂 🤸 Recycle Antizionism, Save The Planet
2026/10/05
On Sunday, October 5th, the UK Green Party passed a sweeping antizionist resolution that began with “Zionism is Racism” and went downhill from there. Is this a fringe, Far Left political movement or is this the new British future? Is it the future of the Western World? And are we reliving the horrifying days that led up to the Holocaust? In this conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the Green Party’s antizionist platform and what it says about the United Kingdom. Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East.

Brotherhood of the Traveling Caliphate 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Mission ImPRossible
2026/09/29
Five British Nationals launched an apparent terrorist attack on the US Air Force at Fairford, UK and questions are swirling as to their motives. The attempt was thwarted by the British Counter-Terrorism Police, the men were arrested…and subsequently released, the investigation continues and we don’t know whether they were foreign terrorist agents (perhaps of the IRGC), domestic terrorists, or even just everyday criminals. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the foiled terror attack at the RAF Fairford Air Base as well as the effectiveness of Israeli PR in the midst of the ongoing war in Gaza. Know someone who would like a seat at the bar? Sharing is caring. 🥂 Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.

United Nations: UNited In Hate 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Guterres Has No Guts
2026/09/23
The UN General Assembly is underway and, once again, the annual bashing of the Jewish State has ensued. Antonio Guterres, in his final speech as Secretary General of the United Nations used his remaining political capital to vilify Israel and leave the Jewish State to be crucified by the rest of the assembly. Emmanuel Macron and Masoud Pazeshkian played the role of torchbearers, to name just two. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the opening days of the 2026 UNGA and some of the highlights (read: low lights) of the speeches.

Bab Luck 🪂 🤸‍♂️ Between Iraq And A Hard Place
2026/09/14
The Houthis have entered the fray. First the Strait of Hormuz was strangled by the IRGC and now the Houthis are taking control of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea. Right now, their target is just Saudi Arabia—and, of course, Israel…of course—but things can change quickly in the world’s most unstable region. The Saudis have asked Trump and Israel to help them out. The entire world economy is affected. Who will actually join the fight? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the Bab al-Mandeb crisis and UK threats of sanctions against the Jewish State.

Reason or Treason? 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Right or Spite?
2026/08/31
The Washington Post filed a scathing article, leaking classified information about alleged American military deficiencies in the war on Iran. As with all leaks, this story brings up three challenges: should the press be leaking classified information, was the information accurate and corroborated and was the leaker justified in sharing the content in the first place. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the leak, the ethics of the leak, and allies’ role in war, even when the war is controversial.

Iran Plays The Long Game 🪂🤸‍♀️ America's Playing Golf
2026/08/17
The Memorandum of Understanding that never truly went into effect with Iran expires today. What will that mean for the war between the United States and Iran or will the Trump Administration call it a win and just go home? But not before sitting down with the terrorists of Hamas and blessing the Mecca Alliance of terrorist states. In this live conversation, Shana Meyerson flies solo as Andrew Fox, her A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, could not make it to the bar. She discusses the expiration of the MoU with Iran, the 15-Point PoS with Hamas, and the implications of the new Mecca Defense Pact.

All Roadmaps Lead To Hamas 🪂🤸‍♂️ So Much For Disarmament
2026/08/03
Donald Trump has unveiled a new 15-Point Gaza Plan that seems to undermine many of the agreed provisions of last year’s 20-Point Plan. The revisions all favor Hamas and Israel is expected to agree or else. What does this new Gaza roadmap mean for the Jewish State and can the International Security Force really guarantee any sort of security? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the 15-point plan, what’s included, and what it ultimately means for Israel and Gaza.

Iran So Far Away 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Midterms Near
2026/07/14
The war in Iran is back on. America is hitting hard and Israel is sitting on the sidelines waiting for coach to put them in. Can Donald Trump pull a win from this war after all? Is there any alternative other than regime change? And what about the Strait of Hormuz? The Mossad may be grooming Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to succeed the IRGC…or maybe they are just rumors… In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss whether this time America can really win the war on Iran and, if so, what that would even look like.

The Vance vs. Rubio "Peace-Off" 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Ti-i-i-ime Is Not On Our Side
2026/06/29
America is running dangerously low on munitions and defensive capabilities and it seems like maybe only dumb bombs will save us from this stupid war in Iran. Iran may have seized complete and permanent control of the Strait, but the Gulf States have something to say about that. Meantime, Marco Rubio and JD Vance are floating dueling peace initiatives as Trump watches the dog fight on and Israel and Lebanon make nice. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss America’s dire munitions stockpiles, the plan to destroy Hezbollah, the GCC, and World War III.

Vance Bombs 🪂 🤸 Pain Incoming
2026/06/22
Iran negotiations have begun in Switzerland and no one rolled out a welcome mat for JD Vance. The Iran delegation and Qatari negotiators have been publicly snubbing him even as he tries to smooth things over with slick diplomacy. Meanwhile, Vance is quite intent on passing the whole debacle off on Benjamin Netanyahu and America’s Israeli allies. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss JD Vance’s statements and positions and what these Iran talks will honestly mean for the world economy in the short run.

2026/06/18
The Iran Deal—or at least the Memorandum of Understanding—is poised and ready to be signed. No one knows exactly what’s in the MOU, but anyone paying attention knows it is a bad deal for America, Israel, and the West. This is not a new era of Peace in the Middle East and while Donald Trump takes his victory laps, Benjamin Netanyahu is, once again, cast in the role of the fall guy. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the emerging deal, who it helps, who it hurts, and what is likely to come out of it. Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, teaching in the War Studies and Behavioural Science departments. In the last year he has visited Gaza twice as well as Hezbollah tunnels in Lebanon.

The Art of No Deal 🪂 🤸 How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Ceasefire
2026/06/08
Ceasefire in Iran...over. Iran fired four rounds of missiles on Israel and despite Donald Trump's implorings, Benjamin Netanyahu gave the IDF the go-ahead to retaliate against Tehran. Is this the end of the ceasefire? Will the war escalate or is a deal on the horizon? And is there any possibility of a good deal with the IRGC? Or are we headed down the road to a very bad deal? As the crisis in the Hormuz Strait plunges the world towards economic demise, something has to give...what will it be? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the Israel-Iran war, and what it means for the future not just of the Jewish State, but for the United States-Israel relationship as a whole.

The Art of the Desperate 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Strait Up Strategy
2026/06/01
As the stalemate in negotiations between the United States and Iran drags on, Trump has issued yet another assurance of an imminent “very good deal” on the way. But can Trump get the nuclear deal he has been promising or will he compromise on his own red lines. The IRGC is a very patient monster and there seems to be a war against the clock. With Trump telling Netanyahu to back down from Lebanon, is this the sign of a real deal ahead or just another fruitless effort to appease our enemies in Iran? In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the ongoing Iran Deal negotiations and the diplomatic quagmire we like to call the United Nations.

Somaliland’s Dirty Breakup 🪂 🤸‍♀️ Horny for Independence
2026/05/18
Somaliland, by all measures, fulfill the standards of statehood, so why has only one country, Israel, recognized them? And is UN recognition on the horizon? Unlike “Palestine,” Somaliland has defined borders, a democratic government, and a standing military. So why has the world yet to recognize them as a state? Today we learn all out Somaliland, it’s geopolitics, economy and history to better understand this potentially quite strategic African nation. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox joins A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, for a live update from Somaliland on their 35th Liberation Day.

If the Law Doesn’t Fit, Rewrite It 🪂 🤸‍♀️ How Super Is Israel's Power?
2026/05/11
When someone says “genocide,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? If it’s Israel, it proves a point. When something is said enough times, people accept it as true. Fact is, the ICJ has not yet ruled on the genocide case against Israel in Gaza, but the world has already accepted it as fact. Despite the preponderance of evidence, the International Court of Justice is literally rewriting the legal standards in a way that will unjustly shove Israel into the genocide box. And the repercussions will be dire. In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss the ICJ’s relentless pursuit of a genocide conviction against Israel and what that will mean for the Jewish State.
