Pam Hemphill participated in the J6 Capitol riots, and spent 60 days in prison as a result. She pleaded guilty because, as she says, “I was not a victim…I was a volunteer.” Since then, she has rejected the MAGA movement, and is now actively campaigning for Vice President Harris.

More about the name of the show...

Award-winning host Ken Harbaugh interviews politicians, authors, activists, and other change-makers about the most important issues we face today.

The title for this podcast, Burn The Boats, is inspired by an order given by Alexander the Great to his Navy in 332 BC. Upon landing his forces on the shores of Persia, he told his commanders to “Burn the boats.” The message was clear. Alexander’s Army would either win by advancing, or die on the beaches. There would be no turning back.

America today is at a crossroads. What will define us, in the crises we currently face and for generations to come, are the choices we make when failure is not an option.
