Podcasts about Battlefield

When President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday to “immediately” change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” it seemed like a parody, like he was telling Andy Borowitz “hold my beer…and charred steak”But no, it was real, and it begs the question: why is he making such an empty, impotent gesture, practically shouting that America is losing a trade war that he started and escalated for no reason?Why, for that matter did he hit Canada with 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods this past weekend—about 550 product lines, including dairy, beer and cider, cement, cosmetics, electronics, furniture, plywood, paint, hockey sticks and skates. Why then add threats of tariffs on Canadian autos, auto parts and steel?Why, Republicans had to wonder, pick this fight when we are 10 weeks away from swing Senate races in border states? You know who does lots of auto business with Canada? Michigan. You know who does lots of other business with Canada? Border states Maine, Alaska and Ohio (it's a water border, but still). Susan Collins has even gone from concerned to troubled.All of which captures a common theme in this week's Political Rehab: why does it always come back to chaos, corruption, and coverup?This week, Matt Wylie and I hit:The big Supreme Court ruling on Trump's mail-in voting executive order, and what he's actually afterThe pointless self-own of the Canada trade warThe even more pointless “Economic D-Day”…which amounts to even more of an admission of failure in a war Trump startedThe exploding issue that Republican and Democratic candidates all seemingly agree on nowAnd what the $18 billion Meta settlement really meansPlus, we take our weekly look at The Battlefield (which readers here got a sneak preview of in yesterday's Midterm HQ), Matt Wylie gets encouraged by robots with pants, and we bid farewell to Dolly Parton.

De enorme stroom games die nog uitkomen vóór GTA 6 op 19 november, komt nu al op gang! The Duskbloods is nog niet publieklijk beschikbaar, maar Niels Kooloos speelde de game al tijdens de netwerktest. Jochem Visser waagde zich aan de DLC van één van zijn favoriete half-mislukte games van 2024, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, met nu als uitbreiding Cost of Hope. En Joe van Burik dook in het Marathon-achtige konijkenhol van een game genaamd CICADAMATA. Daarover hoor je alles in deze Mini-Game Round-Up van All in the Game. Vragen? Mail ons! Op allinthegame@bnr.nl Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis.

Day 1,641.Today we assess a hectic weekend of diplomacy, with Andy Burnham and other world leaders in Kyiv to mark Ukraine's Independence Day – his first foreign trip as Britain's new Prime Minister. He came ready to hand over blueprints for Storm Shadow cruise missiles, not long after President Zelensky discussed fresh supplies of missile interceptors with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron. Meanwhile, Ukraine has targeted another major Russian online retailer – Ozon – for the first time, and Russia's ambassador to London Andrei Kelin was withdrawn to Moscow with no explanation.Contributors: Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on XWith thanks to John Foreman CBE, Chatham House associate fellow and former UK defence attaché to Russia.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'Sullivan and Tom SteedSocial Producer: Aaron WheelerStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Welcome to Season 5 of the Braving Business podcast.In this season premiere, co-hosts PJ Benoit and Tal Zlotnitsky dive into a challenge that quietly undermines almost every organization: how to lead effectively through human difference. Rather than treating differences in background, communication styles, generations, or perspectives as obstacles to manage or suppress, what if leaders treated them as dormant capital waiting to be mined?Joining the show are two co-authors of the book All the Difference: How Great Leaders Create Value From Diversity: Lt. Gen. Leslie C. Smith (Ret.), former 66th Inspector General of the U.S. Army, and Stuart Kliman, founding partner at Vantage Partners and alumnus of the Harvard Negotiation Project.From combat operations to Fortune 500 boardrooms and high-growth tech startups, Gen. Smith and Stu share why navigating difference is not an HR checklist or standard DEI policy—it is a core leadership capability called Difference Intelligence.Inside the EpisodeDifference as an Asset: Why modern teams are more difference-filled than ever, and how viewing friction as "dormant capital" creates real competitive advantage.Leadership Through Love (Agape): Gen. Smith shares why true military leadership is rooted in love, care, setting the conditions for success, and serving those you lead.The 6 Target Actions: An inside look at the actionable framework from All the Difference, including Knowing Yourself, Returning to Respect, Activating Honesty, Seeing the Full Story, Igniting Togetherness, and Committing to Action.The 4 Leadership Landmines: How default certainty, inconsistency, reactivity, and justification derail even well-intentioned leaders.The Living Case Study: How three distinct co-authors (a 3-star general, a corporate strategy expert, and an executive coach) lived through their own friction, debates, and diverse perspectives to write this book.Preparing the Battlefield for Decisive Action: How investing in trust and transparency ahead of time makes tough, decisive leadership choices stick when the stakes are highest.Notable Quotes"Difference is gravity. It's part of the human condition. Poorly managed, it undermines your success; well managed, it becomes a source of tremendous value." — Stuart Kliman"Those who lead must first serve. Leadership is about taking people not only to where they want to go, but beyond where they think they have the ability to go." — Lt. Gen. Leslie C.

Operation Midnight Hammer through the eyes of the people who flew it. CMSgt. Hilliard was the senior enlisted leader for maintenance in the 55th Fighter Squadron, the Wild Weasels who flew Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses ahead of the B-2 strike on Iran. Watch the three-part documentary series on Afterburn Defense: Part I: https://youtu.be/MgQ_X3Td8a4 Part II: https://youtu.be/GzdL6NMYDso Part III: https://youtu.be/Xc22-2RaGSY This is the full interview. No jet flies without the people who fix it. In this conversation he talks about how the squadron decided which specific aircraft would fly the Iran mission, what it takes to generate a sortie that most people never think about, running a maintenance unit where many of the airmen had never deployed before, and the eighteen hours he waited after the jets taxied out. Before Iran, the 55th Fighter Squadron fought over Yemen in Operation Rough Rider, a sustained air campaign against Houthi surface-to-air threats. What they learned there is the reason the F-16 Block 50 and the AGM-88 HARM were part of the strike package on June 21st, 2025. These interviews were recorded between December 2025 and January 2026 and preserve firsthand accounts from pilots, maintainers, intelligence officers, and logistics airmen who were there. 0:00 From a One-Stoplight Town to the Viper 5:18 What It Actually Takes to Launch One Sortie 8:16 Spinning Up a Maintenance Unit for Combat 11:42 Leading Airmen Who Had Never Deployed 17:22 Flying With Fewer Jets Than You Need 21:16 A Week Out From Operation Midnight Hammer 23:27 Eighteen Hours of Waiting 26:06 A Different Kind of Battlefield 33:59 The Empty Break Rooms 39:05 How We Chose Which Jets Would Go Have a story?

    Bleeding is what kills people after trauma. That single fact sits at the center of this WarDocs episode, in which host Dr. Wayne Causey, a vascular surgeon, sits down with two military interventional radiologists — Dr. John Pavlus of Brooke Army Medical Center and Dr. Jonathan Schutt, an interventional radiology resident at Yale — to examine one of the fastest-moving areas in modern medicine and what it could mean for the wounded service member. Endovascular care, as they describe it, is deceptively simple to explain and remarkably hard to field: a small stick in the groin or the wrist, image guidance instead of an incision, and wires and catheters small enough to be called straws, threaded through the vascular tree to block a bleeding artery or reline an injured one. As one guest puts it, the patient goes home with a band-aid.    The conversation moves quickly from definition to system. At Brooke Army Medical Center, a trauma activation commits the interventional team to needle-stick access within sixty minutes of the call, day or night. That standard was not bought with equipment. It was built on years of bi-directional trust with the trauma surgeons, to the point that the team now responds without stopping to relitigate the imaging. Both guests are blunt that ownership is the price of admission: if interventional radiology wants a seat on the trauma team, it has to show up at two in the morning for cases that are neither lucrative nor glamorous.   The harder question is how far forward this capability can go. REBOA is scaled today at Role 2, and stent graft and embolization cases in Role 3 remain largely case-reportable events performed by clinicians who brought their own equipment. The limiting factor, both guests argue, is not technique — it is imaging, logistics, and institutional will. Meanwhile, Israeli teams transition to bunker operations within twenty-four hours, and Ukrainian experience with drone-driven injury patterns is already reshaping assumptions about REBOA and embolization that the United States has not yet tested.   The episode closes on people rather than platforms: the case for a military interventional community that crosses Service lines and partners with surgical colleagues, the argument for a skill identifier that lets the system find the right clinician, and a practical inventory of what one interventional radiologist would carry in a backpack if told to deploy tomorrow.

Each was pulled toward endovascular work by the same realization: that the future of the specialty was in doing more through less. Their training routes differ, one through diagnostic radiology and fellowship, the other through an integrated residency pathway. (06:26-10:15) Endovascular Care Explained: A Lot Through a Pinhole The guests define endovascular care in the language they use with patients: a small poke in the groin or the wrist, image guidance rather than an open field, and catheters threaded through the vascular tree like a plumber working pipes. Roughly ninety-five percent of the work is image guided, most often with fluoroscopy. The host adds the surgeon's framing — always ask what can be fixed through the blood vessel before opening a chest or an abdomen. (10:15-17:02) The Sixty-Minute Trauma Activation at Brooke Army Medical Center A blunt trauma patient arrives, CT shows active extravasation from a high-grade splenic injury, and the trauma activation commits the interventional team to needle-stick access within sixty minutes. The guests describe how that pathway was built on bi-directional trust rather than debate over each scan, and why the team now launches without relitigating the imaging. Both stress that owning trauma call — unglamorous, poorly reimbursed, and at all hours — is what earns interventional radiology its place on the team. (17:02-26:11) Forward Capability: REBOA, Stent Grafts, and the Role 2 and Role 3 Gap The conversation turns to what exists downrange. REBOA is scaled today at Role 2, and endovascular hemorrhage control at Role 3 remains largely a set of case reportable events performed with clinician-supplied equipment. The guests explain stent grafts as simultaneous hemorrhage control and reconstruction, and identify imaging, transport, and packaging — not procedural skill — as the true limiting factors on projecting this capability forward. (26:11-35:54) Silos, Superpowers, and the Real Cost Equation One guest argues that interventional radiology has been siloed by civilian incentives the military has no reason to copy, and that the specialty's real advantage is the fusion of diagnostic reading and procedural skill he calls a superpower. The host and guests weigh the higher up-front cost of advanced imaging and devices against the dramatically lower recovery burden of a pinhole procedure. The biggest hurdle, one guest says flatly, is people — convincing decision makers the capability is worth funding. (35:54-49:56) Allied Lessons, a Military IR Community, and What Fits in a Backpack Israeli teams shifting hospitals to bunker operations within twenty-four hours and Ukrainian experience with drone-driven injury patterns are held up as evidence the United States is playing catch-up. The guests describe the effort to build a military interventional radiology community across Services and to partner with the American College of Surgeons military chapter. The episode closes with a practical deployment loadout — ultrasound, micropuncture kits, sheaths, a base catheter, coils, and wire — and a walk through current training pathways into the specialty. Take Home Messages Bleeding is the mission. The immediate cause of preventable death after trauma is hemorrhage, which is why endovascular capability belongs in the operational conversation at all. Every argument for pushing this capability forward reduces to stopping the bleeding fast enough, and doing it without creating a second catastrophe. Framing the specialty this way makes its military relevance impossible to dismiss. Trust is the system, not the equipment. A sixty-minute call-to-stick standard at a level one trauma center was not purchased — it was built over years of bi-directional trust between the trauma team and the interventional service. Once that trust exists, the activation launches without relitigating the imaging, and everything else falls into motion. Any unit trying to replicate the capability should build the relationship before it buys the gear. Ownership earns the seat. Trauma call is unglamorous, poorly reimbursed, and inconvenient, which is exactly why some centers have written interventional radiology out of the pathway entirely. Showing up at two in the morning, reviewing imaging alongside the trauma team, and taking responsibility for the patient is what secures a permanent place on that team. Presence before the activation is what makes the activation work. The limiting factor is logistics, not technique. Everything done at a level one trauma center is technically achievable far forward — the constraint is diagnostic imaging, fluoroscopy, packaging, and airlift, not procedural skill. Progress therefore depends on investment decisions and institutional will rather than on new procedures. Convincing leaders that the capability is valuable is the hurdle, and funding follows conviction. Allies are already ahead, and the injury patterns are changing. Israeli teams move a hospital into bunker operations within twenty-four hours, and Ukrainian experience with drone-driven wounding is already reshaping assumptions about balloon occlusion and embolization. Planning for the last war is the fastest way to arrive unprepared for the next one. Learning from partner nations now is cheaper than relearning under fire.

Artificial intelligence is transforming cyber warfare - and former NSA Director and U.S. Cyber Command Commander Gen. Paul Nakasone says the speed of that transformation demands a new approach to America's defense. In this episode of The Cipher Brief's State Secrets podcast, Suzanne Kelly sits down with Gen. Nakasone to discuss how AI is reshaping offensive and defensive cyber operations - and why increasingly autonomous systems could fundamentally change the role humans play in cyber conflict. They examine China's penetration of U.S. telecommunications and critical infrastructure, cyber threats from Iran, Russia and North Korea, the growing ransomware threat, the race to prepare for quantum computing, and what Ukraine is teaching the world about autonomous warfare.  Gen. Nakasone also explains why America's intelligence capabilities remain a critical competitive advantage, why defending critical infrastructure requires deeper partnerships between government and the private sector, and what national security leaders should be watching now.

In this Federalist Society America 250 series, experts analyze modern legal and policy debates through the lens of the Founding generation. The Founders gave us the tools to answer many contemporary questions; join us as we explore those answers.In Federalist 23, Alexander Hamilton identified the common defense and the preservation of peace against external attacks as two of the principal purposes served by union. The Constitution that union adopted divides the power to declare war—vested in Congress—and the power to direct war—vested in the President as Commander in Chief. But what does it say about national security more broadly? The Founders were not without reservation about the risks of concentrating the means of defense, with James Madison warning the Constitutional Convention that a “standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.” It was also clear from the start, however, that functions like intelligence gathering belonged more naturally to the executive, whose institutional character supported the necessary secrecy and dispatch.This webinar will explore how the Founders understood national security power beyond the battlefield, how closely subsequent practice tracked their design, and whether today’s allocation of powers serves both the nation's security and its liberty.Featuring:Dr. Alberto Coll, Director, Global Engagement; Vincent de Paul Professor of Law, DePaul University College of LawProf. Matthew Waxman, Liviu Librescu Professor of Law, Columbia School of LawProf. John Yoo, Emanuel S.

Imagine Battlefield, but dying matters. That's the WARDOGS closed alpha in one sentence — and after a weekend in it, we're calling it the most polished alpha we've ever played. WARDOGS is Bulkhead and Team17's 100-player tactical shooter: three factions, one randomized control zone, first side to 100 points wins. You start with $10,000, you buy your loadout from in-game vendors, and when you die you lose the gear AND the money you spent on it. The money carries between matches. You can loot the guy you just killed and walk away with a level 30 kit you couldn't buy for another six hours. In this episode: what the alpha actually plays like, why the economy isn't the gimmick people think it is, how three-way faction warfare changes your strategy, the 256 square kilometre map, destructible towers, the reviving system Battlefield should steal, TTK and gunplay, why an Arma 3 King of the Hill mod is the reason none of this feels half-baked — and the two things that genuinely pissed us off. Plus the final verdict, the scores, and the one thing that could still ruin this game. Raz thinks it's a flawless alpha. Jake wants free look.

We're back and in the two weeks away…nothing has changed. In fact, it's only gotten worse but what do you expect from an AI world taking in all the ram (and water). PlayStation tells us it has enough ram for systems through the end of the year and more so during the release of GTA6 but Samsung has said we're gonna be in the funk for the foreseeable future. Also, both Nvidia and AMD are raising their GPU prices this month. With Microsoft increasing the Xbox price in the UK and Europe. Speaking of GTA6, the boss of Take-Two Interactive says we're getting the game at a STEAL for $80/$100. He's kinda right, if I'm honest. We've said before but that's a game you could put an outrageous price on (kinda is already) and it wouldn't surprise anyone to see the kind of numbers it would generate. Still, the way he put it came off like some over the top movie villain. Then again, he's a CEO, so… EA would really like the cut of that guy's jib, given what their CEO walked away with from the success of Battlefield 6. I mean, AFTER they laid off a good number of people first. Given the way these companies are handled it's no wonder we're still waiting on another Splinter Cell game. At this rate it'll release for a console no one can really afford. Ubisoft, it's been 4,738 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 9,128 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

Our in-house Republican strategist just said MAGA is "breaking and being exposed for the fraud that it was." This week, on Political Rehab, all five stories were the same story: Republicans at war with Republicans.Trump's cabinet turned on itself in public — Jeanine Pirro's office dropped every reflecting pool vandalism case after admitting the damage was botched no-bid contractor work, and she and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum are now openly blaming each other. Trump reportedly exploded at Pete Hegseth over severe missile and interceptor shortages, Hegseth blamed his own deputy, and Trump is threatening prison for whoever leaked it. The online right turned on its own DHS Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen, for the sin of saying "legal immigration" out loud. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson convened a cabin meeting in Maine that has MAGA talking openly about a third party and a Carlson 2028 run. And Trump demanded the Senate cancel its August recess over the SAVE Act — only for John Thune to walk out the door anyway.Then in The Battlefield: the generic ballot hits Democrats +7.2 — ahead of where they were at this point in 2018 — Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan primary win scrambles the Senate map, and 61,000 Michigan Democrats voted for a candidate who had dropped out a month earlier. That last number tells you something important about American politics.Matt Robison is a former Chief of Staff to three Democratic Members of Congress.

    What does it take to keep wounded Soldiers alive when the next war means hours — not minutes — to the operating table? In this special collaboration between WarDocs and OP MED TV, recorded at the Defense Strategies Institute OP MED Symposium, COL Shaun Brown, MD, Commander of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, lays out the research agenda that will decide whether the wounded of the next conflict survive. COL Brown's path into Army medicine began with a rejection. Poor eyesight closed the door on the U.S. Naval Academy, so he pursued pre-med as a civilian undergraduate. When 9/11 happened, it solidified both his commitment to medicine and his decision to serve, and he took an Army HPSP scholarship in medical school. He trained in general surgery at William Beaumont Army Medical Center — a program with a long, quiet relationship with the special operations community — where attendings would vanish overnight for operational requirements. He chose colorectal surgery as a fellowship to add technical range he could use in civilian practice and on the battlefield, then joined Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg after a year on staff in El Paso. Now commanding the Army's premier combat casualty care research enterprise, COL Brown is candid about what excites him and what worries him. He is most energized by the Organ Support and Automated Technology department, and he uses a widely shared video of a Ukrainian amputee evacuated by unmanned ground system to make his point: autonomous evacuation without autonomous medical support only moves the walking wounded. Ventilators that read changing physiology and adjust themselves, autonomous IV pumps, and en-route support are the missing half of the capability. His concern is combat wounds. In large-scale combat operations with prolonged evacuation timelines, Dr. Brown expects most damage control surgery to be done for sepsis rather than hemorrhage — the patients who cannot be evacuated become septic extremities. He also walks through the blood problem: whole blood is the standard, low-titer O supply will not be sufficient at scale, and the answer is shelf-stable components, including freeze-dried and spray-dried plasma, freeze-dried platelets, and freeze-dried red cells. The conversation closes on people. Brown details how the Army sustains surgical readiness through a diversified platform of military treatment facilities, civilian partnerships, and untapped Veterans Affairs relationships; how he coordinates with the Reserve consultant to pair complementary skill sets on deploying teams; and why, quoting the Army War College, he still serves: you train for the known and you educate for the unknown.

September 11th solidified his decision to pursue both medicine and military service, and he applied for the HPSP scholarship in medical school, choosing the Army's four-year award over the Air Force's three-year option. (02:16-04:33) Colorectal Surgery and the Road to Joint Special Operations Command He explains why he chose colorectal surgery — additional technical skill he could use in civilian practice and on the battlefield — and how residency at William Beaumont Army Medical Center exposed him early to the special operations world. He recounts getting the recruiting call while loading a moving van in New Orleans, then completing assessment and selection before moving to Fort Bragg. (04:33-08:06) Commanding the ISR: Autonomous En-Route Care and the Combat Wound Gap COL Brown identifies the Organ Support and Automated Technology department as the work he is most excited about, using a Ukrainian unmanned-ground-system evacuation video to argue that autonomous platforms without autonomous medical support can only move the walking wounded. He then names his chief concern: combat wound research funding, and his expectation that in large-scale combat operations most damage control surgery will be done for sepsis rather than hemorrhage. (08:06-11:59) Blood, Plasma, and the Shelf-Stable Future of Resuscitation The discussion turns to the evolution from component therapy to 1:1:1 ratios to whole blood, and Dr. Brown's assessment that low-titer O will not be available in sufficient quantity for large-scale combat operations. He details work on freeze-dried and spray-dried plasma, freeze-dried platelets, and freeze-dried red cells, noting that spray-drying is faster, cheaper, and uses equipment roughly the size of two ATMs — a major advantage for distributed manufacturing. (11:59-18:16) Burn Care, Surgical Readiness, and Partnerships Across Components COL Brown addresses the burn casualty problem in a future fight: forward Class VIII resuscitation supply, scaling the Advanced Burn Life Support course for deploying units, and partnerships with civilian burn centers, including placing Army burn surgeons in MILCIV sites. He then lays out the diversified surgical platform — military treatment facilities, community hospitals, and underused VA partnerships — and how he works with the Reserve consultant to pair complementary skill sets on deploying units. (18:16-22:22) Forward Surgical Capability Gaps and Why He Still Serves Asked what a forward surgical team still needs, COL Brown points to an off-the-shelf, infection-resistant biologic vascular conduit as a potential game changer over shunts — with the training investment that would require. He closes with his why, quoting the Army War College maxim that you train for the known and educate for the unknown, and asking who will be left to educate the next generation if experienced leaders walk away during the interwar period. Take Home Messages Autonomous evacuation without autonomous care only moves the walking wounded: Unmanned ground and air systems can pull a casualty off the battlefield, but a platform alone does not sustain a patient who needs a ventilator, a pump, or a transfusion en route. The medical community must be in the ground-maneuver conversation early, because a small design change can turn a logistics platform into a casualty evacuation platform. Autonomous ventilators that read changing physiology and adjust themselves are the missing half of that capability. In the next war, sepsis may drive damage control surgery more than hemorrhage: Prolonged evacuation timelines change the casualty population that reaches a surgeon. Patients in uncontrolled hemorrhage far from a surgical team frequently do not survive the wait, while patients with survivable wounds that cannot be evacuated arrive septic days later. Combat wound research and combat wound solutions deserve renewed funding priority for large-scale combat operations. Shelf-stable blood components are the answer to a cold chain that will not hold: Warm whole blood remains the standard of care, but low-titer O will not be available in the quantities a large-scale conflict demands, and cold chain storage is a logistical vulnerability. Freeze-dried and spray-dried plasma, freeze-dried platelets, and freeze-dried red cells are all in the research pipeline. Spray-drying offers a particular advantage: it is faster, cheaper, and the equipment footprint is small enough to support distributed manufacturing forward. Burn readiness is a supply problem, a training problem, and a partnership problem: Thermal weapons, lasers, fuel, and explosions could produce burn casualty volumes the system has not seen in decades. Resuscitation depends on adequate crystalloid and plasma forward, on teams trained to calculate burn surface area correctly, and on scaling the Advanced Burn Life Support course to deploying units. Long-term capacity also depends on formal relationships with civilian burn centers and on placing military burn surgeons inside those partnerships. Surgical readiness comes from a diversified platform, not from one hospital: Military treatment facility volume alone will not sustain a surgeon's skills, so readiness now depends on layering community hospital partnerships and Veterans Affairs relationships on top of the military caseload. Functional VA hospitals near large installations without strong academic affiliations are ripe for preferred referral partnerships. What surgeons need most is not trauma volume but complexity, which older patients with more complex medical conditions reliably provide.

What happens when a PC gamer turns downloadable Steam games into physical cartridges? Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar explore that inventive project alongside an AI-generated reality show starring romantic fruits, Xbox's possible plan for preserving physical game collections, Fitbit's long-awaited Apple Health support and a 9,000-pound rocket stage headed for the Moon. The crew also discusses a travel app that automatically tells stories based on your location, the staggering first imagery from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, Kevin Mitnick's legacy in cybersecurity and several troubling decisions from the video game industry. Stories, Gadgets and Topics Discussed Katie's Brother P-touch label maker: Katie shows how she is using built-in symbols—including cameras, computers and warning icons—to organize and identify equipment, drives and other technology. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveals an enormous view of the universe: Dave follows up on the observatory's 3.2-gigapixel LSST camera and an image containing approximately 650,000 galaxies. The hosts discuss the astonishing detail available when zooming into tiny sections of the image, the observatory's planned decade of data collection and how AI could help scientists examine datasets too large for humans to process manually. See the Vera C. Rubin Observatory imagery Wrinkles turns city exploration into a location-aware audio tour: Katie introduces Wrinkles, a travel app that automatically shares historical facts, local stories and hidden details as users walk through supported cities. The app uses AI-generated voices, but its information is drawn from curated sources such as historians, museums and local organizations. Creators and tourism groups may also be able to build their own tours and experiences. Explore the Wrinkles travel app A PC gamer creates physical Steam cartridges: Sorg examines a DIY project that stores individual Steam games on inexpensive 128GB, 2.5-inch SSDs. A script detects the drive when it is inserted, connects the game to the owner's Steam library and launches the title—creating something close to a modern PC game cartridge. The discussion considers storage costs, portability and whether physical presentation can make digital collections feel more permanent. See the DIY Steam cartridge project Kevin Mitnick and National Social Engineering Day: Dave looks back at famed hacker-turned-security-consultant Kevin Mitnick, whose birthday on August 6 inspired National Social Engineering Day. The hosts explain how attackers can bypass strong technology by manipulating employees, customer-service representatives and other people into revealing passwords, resetting accounts or granting access. Learn about National Social Engineering Day Read Kevin Mitnick's congressional testimony ChachiSays Video Game Minute—“Doubling Down on Dumb Decisions”: Sony acknowledges the backlash surrounding its move away from physical PlayStation discs but plans to continue moving in that direction. Read the Sony physical-media story Electronic Arts reportedly rewarded its CEO with a major compensation increase following the success of Battlefield 6 while developers responsible for the game faced layoffs. Read about the EA compensation and layoffs August Interactive is working with NASA on Moonbase Y, a game designed to encourage children to plan, collaborate and invent solutions for a future lunar colony. Learn about Moonbase Y Xbox considers converting physical games into digital licenses: A reported Xbox disc-to-digital program could allow owners of original Xbox and Xbox 360 discs to access compatible digital copies on newer hardware or PC. The hosts discuss game preservation, license transfer, resale and whether Microsoft's approach inspires more confidence in the long-term future of an Xbox library. Read about Xbox's reported disc-to-digital plan Fitbit data can finally sync with Apple Health: Fitbit users can now consolidate more of their fitness information inside Apple Health. The hosts discuss the convenience of keeping activity, blood-pressure readings and medical information in one location, while noting that some measurements—including heart-rate variability—may not transfer yet. Learn how to sync Fitbit with Apple Health A SpaceX rocket stage is headed for the Moon: A roughly 9,000-pound piece of space hardware is expected to strike the lunar surface. Although the collision is accidental and likely will not be visible to the naked eye, lunar orbiters may be able to document the crater and debris, turning the impact into an unexpected scientific experiment. Read about the lunar impact Fruit Love Island and the strange appeal of AI reality television: Sorg introduces an AI-generated dating show starring anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables. The hosts examine its bizarre character designs, inconsistent AI visuals, audience voting, reality-show storytelling and surprisingly organized production workflow. They also debate whether projects like this are disposable “AI slop” or useful experiments in storyboarding, character consistency and accessible video production.

As America celebrates her 250th Anniversary, Karl continues the Faith & Freedom series by exploring the remarkable Americans whose faith, character, and the opportunities of freedom shaped not only our nation—but the world.Long before Clara Barton became known as "The Angel of the Battlefield," she was simply a shy little girl who cared for her injured brother and later became a devoted teacher. When the Civil War erupted, while others fled danger, Clara courageously ran toward it—bringing food, medicine, and hope to wounded soldiers on the front lines.In this episode, discover how one ordinary teacher became one of America's greatest humanitarians, founded the American Red Cross, and demonstrated that compassion isn't weakness—it's one of the greatest forms of courage.More than a history lesson, this episode reminds us that God often changes the world through people who simply refuse to walk past someone in need. And perhaps... the next world-changer is already sitting in your classroom.Share with Kidology.org/podcast237THE KARL BASTIAN PODCAST (Formerly KidminTalk) is the Podcast of "Kidologist" Karl Bastian, founder of Kidology.org and host of The Karl Bastian Podcast.

On Tuesday, Electronic Arts stops being a public company. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners are closing a $55 billion all-cash buyout — the largest leveraged buyout of a public company in history — and PIF walks away with 93.4% of Madden, FIFA, Apex, The Sims, Battlefield and BioWare. So we spent half the episode on what that actually means: what going private does to a publisher, the $20 billion in debt that lands on EA itself, whether sports betting is the obvious way to service it, and what happens to queer characters in BioWare games under this ownership. Plus the question nobody answers honestly — is boycotting Madden a real position, or does it just feel good? Then the other half. Tarkov's first post-launch wipe and the Kord Breach seasons drop August 3, so we get into the state of the game right before it resets. Overwatch Champions Series is live in Paris, and the jetpack cat strat does not translate to Silver. And Baldur's Gate 3's new true third-person camera mod set the internet on fire — someone told modders to be nuked off the face of the earth over an optional camera angle in a single-player game. Jake wants a normal third-person view in everything. Raz is a Larian hipster who was there before BG3.

In Part 2, Mike LeBlanc details how a chance call pulled him away from a private equity offer and into Silicon Valley, where he co-founded Cobalt Robotics before launching Foundation Future Industries. He walks through the brutal early days of building a robotics startup, a company crisis over fabricated sales contracts that forced him to overhaul the business, and the pivot into humanoid robots for the Department of War. The conversation turns to real combat testing in Ukraine, the ethical debate inside his own company over weaponizing robots, human-in-the-loop safeguards against battlefield mistakes, and why he believes America—not China—will lead the humanoid robotics race.

WARDOGS ran its first ever gameplay livestream this week and it went about as well as you'd expect from a studio full of guys in their late twenties: the alpha codes were a QR-code disaster, the stream started two hours late, and it ended with a Twitch ban for throwing a sex toy across the room. And yet — the actual gameplay looked incredible. We break down everything we saw: the enormous map, the three-team control zone loop, the destructible environments, the buy menu, and why Bulkhead's 60 FPS performance floor and "gamers first, devs second" attitude has us more hyped for this game than anything else on the calendar. Plus: is a monthly subscription for better servers and anti-cheat a genuinely good idea or the start of a slippery slope? Then it's Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, which just opened its first free crossplay playtest on the new Đắk Tô Airfield map — the performance is fixed, the hit reg is fixed, and the map is a massive upgrade over that awful jungle one. And Battlefield 6 Season 4 finally brought naval warfare, Tsuru Reef, and a Top Gun crossover that people are somehow mad about. We close with what we've actually been playing — Overwatch ranked, Stellaris Nomads, a lot of Tarkov, and one MMO Raz will absolutely keep playing despite telling you not to touch it. Jake's out here getting one-tapped in Tarkov. Raz is defending a game he just called a pile of dog shit.

In the final part of this conversation, Major John Spencer breaks down the discipline he's built his career on: urban warfare. He explains why cities are the most complex environment any military can fight in, why the U.S. lacks real expertise in fighting underground, and how history's most costly urban battles keep repeating the same avoidable mistakes. He closes by discussing what he sees as the next frontier of warfare — the world beneath our feet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Episode 4187 │ July 22, 2026 The AI didn't escape. It was released. The fear that followed is designed to do one thing — hand control of all AI to the people building your prison. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with the Zero Hedge headline — OpenAI's GPT 5.6 SOL escaped its testing environment and hacked Hugging Face to cheat on a benchmark — and immediately strips the fear narrative away from it: the AI did not escape on its own, it was explicitly told to win at any cost with all guardrails deliberately removed by human engineers running an internal test called Exploit Jim, found a zero-day vulnerability, inferred that Hugging Face held the answer key, stole credentials, and was caught by Hugging Face's own security team before succeeding — a controlled experiment weaponized into a fear headline, with the structural beneficiary being the centralized mega lab model that wants regulation tightening around open source AI development. The episode maps the real war underneath the headline — the open source AI community building sovereign, locally-run, non-subscription models like those running on AMD's new Ryzen Halo desktop processor directly against the centralized cloud-hosted mega systems of OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google positioning for Department of Defense, CIA, NSA, and surveillance state contracts worth billions — and names the Huxley psyop at the center of it: the victim of mind manipulation does not know he is a victim, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. The episode closes on the only reliable counter to the fear architecture: not whether you use AI, but whether you trust — not just faith, but trust — that the God who fights your battles is greater than any surveillance state, any released AI, or any fear token the machine can issue. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What actually happened when OpenAI's GPT 5.6 SOL escaped its sandbox and hacked Hugging Face — and why does the fact that human engineers deliberately removed all guardrails and told the AI to win at any cost make the fear headline structurally dishonest about what AI can and cannot do on its own? Who benefits from a headline about escaped AI — and why does Scott argue that the incident, intentional or not, functions as a case study that will be cited to justify tighter regulation, centralized control, and a narrative designed to separate ordinary people from the sovereign open source AI tools that threaten the mega lab business model? What is the Huxley principle at the center of the AI fear architecture — and why does Scott argue that the same psyop running through AI headlines, drone warfare, Gaza targeting, and the Iran campaign all share one root: remove human accountability, blame the tool, and use the resulting fear to build the walls of a prison the occupant believes is freedom?
