Everything, everywhere, all at once — but not the movie. This is how cybersecurity experts describe a scenario where a foreign adversary shuts off critical infrastructure, like oil pipelines, water networks, ports, and electric grids, all over the country. The terrifying truth is that China has already hacked into our critical infrastructure. They're “living off the land” and could conceivably attack whenever is most convenient. What's worse? Our political leaders are defunding America's cybersecurity efforts. In order to dig in deeper, Kara talks to Nicole Perlorth, Michael Schmidt, and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, (Ret.)   Nicole Perlroth spent a decade as the lead cybersecurity reporter at The New York Times, before going inside the tent and joining the advisory board of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Council on Foreign Relations' Cyber Task Force.

Vindman, who was born in Ukraine, is the retired Army lieutenant colonel who testified against President Trump in the 2019 impeachment hearings.

In today's episode, he joins NPR's Mary Louise Kelly for a conversation that touches on what Vindman calls the Trump administration's "Russia First" policy, the case for investing in Ukraine and Taiwan, and when the conflict in Ukraine might end.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, six US presidential administrations of both parties pursued policies for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia that emboldened Russia, playing into its imperialist, centuries-long mythos of regional hegemony. The result: military aggression and full-scale invasion.

He proposes a new long-term, values-based approach that insists on the fundamentals of liberal democracy and a rules-based world order.Alexander Vindman, lieutenant colonel US Army (retired), was the director for European Affairs on the White House's National Security Council, former Political-Military Affairs Officer for Russia, and diplomat at the American Embassies in Moscow and Kyiv.

From September 21, 2021: A new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa contains reporting about several controversial actions by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley in late 2000 and early 2021, regarding conversations with his Chinese counterparts, his discussion with senior military officers about following standard nuclear procedures (if need be), and reaching out to others like the CIA and NSA directors to remind them to watch everything closely. Were each of these reported actions proper for a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and why? And what about all of this coming out in books?To talk through it all, David Priess sat down with an A-team on civil-military relations. Peter Feaver is a civil-military relations expert at Duke University and director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies. He served in National Security Council staff positions in both the Bill Clinton and the George W. Bush administrations. Kori Schake is the director of foreign and defense policy at the American Enterprise Institute who has worked in the Joint Staff J5, in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and in the National Security Council's staff, as well as the State Department's policy planning staff during Bush 43's administration.

     SEGMENT 1 Time 6:03am cst WE ARE LIVE on The King 1010 WXKG, Our Flagship Syndication Station in Atlanta Georgia, all week from 7am-10am! 6:03am cst.  Welcome to the Mike Church Show on www.crusadechannel.com  Call the show  844-5CRUSADE   Did you miss yesterday's LIVE Mike Church Show? Worry not, you can listen to all previously aired shows on CRUSADEchannel.com 15m Gay Frogs & Robert F Kennedy Jr Birth control pills when put into the water system it does actually change the sex of frogs. The science is in and Alex Jones was right! Colorado State is where this was noted. If it does this to the frogs, what does it do to the female body? We should all be asking ourselves why we are allowing this type of ‘medicine' into our daughters and women. Robert F Kennedy Jr sat down w/ Tucker Carlson and discussed regenerative farming, hormones, soil health and much more. 20m Shadow Banning On Social Media  Had this little station that could not have to battle shadow banning, more people would know about all of this.  We discuss this all the time on the Crusade Channel. We started way back when we introduced Free Farm Friday. When people actually hear this information, it resonates w/ the American people.  I think we agree w/ about 40% of what RFK Jr talks about. The other percentage deals w/ social and moral issues. Robert F Kennedy Jr - almost all of Christs parables involve farming or the marriage of the land, the home and at that time the home almost always involved the farm. 23m Butler, PA Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump They didn't have communications. They relied on cellphones. What happens to cellphone service when you get thousands in one location all w/ private cellphones? The local police department offered the Secret Service members hand held radios. They had extra radios charged up and ready to go that morning. We now know the SS turned them down. Why would the SS not understand the overload that would have happened on the cellphone tower load? Why would they solely rely on their private cellphones for communications that day? Why didn't they gather everyone that day that was on duty, put all their body cams into a video multi view monitor, sync them all together w/ the times codes and watch them all. Then you can be a director of a live sporting event. You can look at camera 63 or camera 2 and back them up and review each one all synced up? 6:35am cst SEGMENT 2    Dan Bongino on Trump Attempted Assassination  Susan Crabtree on X: Asked if the security failures of J13 were just incompetence or a result of something more nefarious: @realerikprince says, "If it tips toward malice, then it's a very different can of worms. It's hard to be part of a republic" if the other side is trying to kill you. Counter Sniper Ben Shaffer, who was on the job that day at the Butler rally during the assassination attempt against Trump, is testifying to a panel of House GOP members of Congress at Heritage. He says the local law enforcement offered encrypted radios to the Secret Service, but they were not taken.  Shaffer also said Crooks' use of a rangefinder would have elevated him from a "person of interest" to someone "who would have warranted some type of investigatory detention.”   44m Acting Director Rowe - Letter from Senator Josh Hawley Where is Nancy Pelosi in all of this? Remember in our system Whistle Blowers are sacred and protected. We know Alexander Vindman was the whistle blower then. We now know he was out to get Trump that is why Trump fired him b/c he figured it out. There is a whistle blower here, are they sacred and are they being protected? Do they have extra protection?    55m AUDIO/VIDEO: Dan Bongino Testimony at Heritage Foundation on Assassination Attempt on Trump He makes valid points here in his opening comments.

Charlie Pierce, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, and Rachel Bitecofer

Rachel Vindman is a co-host of the Suburban Women Problem podcast. She is married to retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and during her time as a military spouse they lived in twelve homes in four U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Germany, Ukraine, and Russia. As is typical for military spouses, she worked a variety of jobs from flight attendant to teacher to retail employee always serving in her community as a volunteer wherever she lived. Rachel and Alex experienced infertility and infant loss so she feels it is her responsibility to speak out about the consequences of the assault on women's reproductive rights in addition to sharing her family's story to raise awareness to the dangers of encroaching authoritarianism and extremism. Rachel found her voice as an activist and plain-spoken political commentator on Twitter/X, where you can follow her @natsechobbyist.

From April 9, 2021: Tensions are heating up between Russia and Ukraine, seven years after the seizure by the Russians of the Crimean Peninsula and the incursions into Eastern Ukraine. With troop movements and some saber rattling, is Vladimir Putin trying to send a message to Joe Biden, or perhaps to Ukrainian President Zelensky? Is he trying to satisfy domestic constituencies or distract them? Benjamin Wittes sat down with Alexander Vindman to talk about what Russia is doing and why, and what the Biden administration should do about it.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
