WarRoom Battleground EP 846: Superhuman AI — "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies"

WarRoom Battleground EP 845: Taking Back Chicago; AI Jesus And The Digital Rapture

BOOK TITLE: The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph over China AUTHOR: Jonathan DT Ward HEADLINE: The Second Great Divergence: Democracies vs. Dictatorships in the Economic Battleground Jonathan DT Ward introduces the "second great divergence" as an opportunity for democracies to economically surpass dictatorships like China and Russia. This involves seizing the Fourth Industrial Revolution and denying economic advantages to adversaries. China's economic strategies aim to achieve global preeminence, but the US and its allies can counter this by leveraging their collective economic power, rebuilding industrial bases, and competing effectively in the emerging world. 1922 EKING PSTUDENTS GOING ABROAD TO STUDY

WarRoom Battleground EP 841: Auron MacIntyre - Confronting the Total State

In this must-see BlackHat 2025 interview, Doug White sits down with Michael Callahan, CMO at Salt Security, for a high-stakes conversation about Agentic AI, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and the massive API security risks reshaping the cyber landscape. Broadcast live from the CyberRisk TV studio at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, the discussion pulls back the curtain on how autonomous AI agents and centralized MCP hubs could supercharge productivity—while also opening the door to unprecedented supply chain vulnerabilities. From “shadow MCP servers” to the concept of an “API fabric,” Michael explains why these threats are evolving faster than traditional security measures can keep up, and why CISOs need to act before it's too late. Viewers will get rare insight into the parallels between MCP exploitation and DNS poisoning, the hidden dangers of API sprawl, and why this new era of AI-driven communication could become a hacker's dream.

At Black Hat 2025, live from the Cyber Risk TV studio in Las Vegas, Jackie McGuire sits down with Apiiro Co-Founder & CEO Idan Plotnik to unpack the real-world impact of AI code assistants on application security, developer velocity, and cloud costs. With experience as a former Director of Engineering at Microsoft, Idan dives into what drove him to launch Apiiro — and why 75% of engineers will be using AI assistants by 2028. From 10x more vulnerabilities to skyrocketing API bloat and security blind spots, Idan breaks down research from Fortune 500 companies on how AI is accelerating both innovation and risk. What you'll learn in this interview: - Why AI coding tools are increasing code complexity and risk - The massive cost of unnecessary APIs in cloud environments - How to automate secure code without slowing down delivery - Why most CISOs fail to connect security to revenue (and how to fix it) - How Apiiro's Autofix AI Agent helps organizations auto-fix and auto-govern code risks at scale This isn't just another AI hype talk. It's a deep dive into the future of secure software delivery — with practical steps for CISOs, CTOs, and security leaders to become true business enablers. Watch till the end to hear how Apiiro is helping Fortune 500s bridge the gap between code, risk, and revenue. Apiiro AutoFix Agent.

WarRoom Battleground EP 840: Brutal Suppression Of Latin Mass In North Carolina By Passive-Aggressive FrancisBishop

A hiking ban in Nova Scotia is getting lots of attention this summer, from Joe Rogan to former Freedom Convoy supporters. Although the ban has now been lifted for parts of the province, the rules have ignited an international debate about government overreach during fire season. Some Nova Scotians are calling the criticism fearmongering and want outsiders to butt out of the province's affairs. We hear from an emergency management expert who says governments should prepare for more backlash against wildfire rules as the climate changes and summers become potentially more restricted.

This week on Battleground, Saul David and Patrick Bishop analyse why recent diplomatic summits have failed to move the needle on peace in Ukraine. They also discuss two surprising developments: new details about a potential US security commitment to a post-war Ukraine, and the US imposition of heavy tariffs on India to punish it for buying Russian oil. With the tariffs already devastating key Indian industries. On the ground, a Russian breakthrough near Dobropillya has been contained, but new reports confirm a Russian advance into the Dnipropetrovsk region. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to hit Russian targets with long-range drone strikes and has unveiled a new, powerful cruise missile, the "Flamingo FP-5," with a 3,000 km range. Finally, in a new segment with the Centre for Information Resilience, the hosts report that Russian drone activity has effectively cut off a key highway, raising fears of a "drone siege" on the city of Kherson.

A Washington State Patrol-led operation in Battle Ground resulted in 12 arrests tied to child exploitation crimes. Dubbed “Operation Battle Ground,” the effort involved more than 20 agencies, including local police, the FBI, and Homeland Security Investigations. Officials say the arrests send a clear message that exploitation of children will not be tolerated. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/battle-ground-child-exploitation-operation-leads-to-12-arrests/ #BattleGround #WSP #MECTF #ChildExploitation #ChildSafety #LawEnforcement #ClarkCounty #FBI #HomelandSecurity

In the final episode of our Battleground '45 series Saul and Patrick tie up some loose ends by answering listeners' questions on all things Second World War-related. Together they discuss why Spain remained neutral, the role of Latin American countries in the war, and why the Luftwaffe was nowhere to be seen when 617 Squadron of the RAF sank the Tirpitz in November 1944.

WarRoom Battleground EP 837: Remembering The Fall Of Kabul; The Risk AI Is Impending On American Jobs

WarRoom Battleground EP 836: Resisting The Transhumanist Temptation: A Conversation With Grayson Quay

A man with a deportation order is at the center of a political maelstrom, and the entire nation is watching. The transcript describes the case of Kilmar Armando Ábrego García as a pivotal moment in an escalating "civil war" over immigration and political power. It argues that a "runaway" liberal judge has created a legal precedent that would make it impossible to deport undocumented immigrants, regardless of their criminal history. The transcript also connects this case to broader issues, such as the debate over counting non-citizens in the U.S. census for congressional apportionment, and alleges a secret police-ice alliance in "sanctuary cities." This is presented as a high-stakes conflict with profound implications for America's political future, as a man's deportation becomes a symbol for the competing visions of the nation.
