10. Guest Michael Bernstam analyzes the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a narrow choke point currently controlled by Iran. He warns of a massive shipping traffic jam that will cause prolonged high energy prices.,, (11)1943 PA SECTION

Chris Sullivan with a Chokepoint: the I-5 overpass in DuPont is going to finally get done // Luke Duecy with a Tech Talk: a deep look at the threat of cyberattacks from Iran // Todd Gershwin on the Peanuts 75th Anniversary: A Vince Guaraldi Symphonic Concert at Benaroya Hall // Charlie Commentary on the money poured into an odious road project in Seattle // Mike McClanahan with a wrap up of the 2026 legislative session // Gee Scott on early blooms from the state's cherry blossoms and tulips

Even in its weakened state after two weeks of war, Iran maintains its chokehold on one of the most important shipping channels in the world: the Strait of Hormuz. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports on the unprecedented closure of the 21-mile-wide waterway, which has stranded roughly 700 cargo ships and oil tankers in the Persian Gulf - increasing gas prices to their highest level in years. Iran has made extensive use of cheap drones in the war to menace the U.S. military and allies in the Persian Gulf. One emerging counter-drone solution is laser systems. Correspondent Lesley Stahl visits one Pentagon contractor developing such a system to explore how advanced lasers work and whether they are ready to be deployed. Sixteen years after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the government has all but collapsed and gangs battle for control of the capital Port-au-Prince. Correspondent Anderson Cooper visits an orphanage in the besieged city where children have been sheltered from the violence for more than four years. Run by bestselling author Mitch Albom, the organization Have Faith Haiti takes in vulnerable children and, with an emphasis on education and faith, gives them a chance at an extraordinary future.

Three commercial ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz as tensions escalate in the US-Israel Vs Iran war. Nearly one-fifth of global oil supply passes through the narrow sea passage between Iran and Oman, making it a critical chokepoint for global energy. But the story of Hormuz is not just about geopolitics. In Cut The Clutter Episode 1807, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at its strategic importance, geography & geology. --------------------------------------------

Two weeks ago on Reimagining Cyber, we explored how agentic AI could become the next major security choke point. Since then, things have escalated.Enterprises are restricting — even banning — AI agents. Security teams are scrambling to regain visibility. Vendors are rushing out “agent security” features. And early warning signs are already surfacing.In this episode, Tyler Moffitt answers the critical question: Did agentic AI just move from innovation to crisis?What changed in just a matter of weeks?This discussion breaks down:Why AI agents are fundamentally different from traditional automation and service accountsHow autonomous reasoning + persistent system access creates a new attack paradigmThe identity and API sprawl problem most organizations didn't realize they hadWhy compromised agents could give attackers automation at scaleThe growing wave of enterprise bans — and what they signalWhether regulation or a high-profile incident is likely to come firstTyler explains how agents don't just generate responses — they take action. They hold API keys, access internal systems, modify code repositories, interact with cloud infrastructure, and execute workflows. When deployed without guardrails, logging, or least-privilege controls, they can quietly multiply an organization's attack surface overnight.The core issue isn't that AI is malicious — it's that AI has become an acceleration layer. And when autonomy meets overprivileged access, traditional security models break.You'll also hear practical, immediate steps security teams should be taking now — from credential rotation and agent inventories to sandboxing and behavioral monitoring.This isn't an anti-AI episode. It's a maturity wake-up call.Because the organizations that build guardrails now will move faster and safer. The ones that don't may learn the hard way.If you're a CISO, security architect, developer experimenting with agents in production, or executive evaluating AI adoption — this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking Podcasts This list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!

Agentic AI is moving fast — and it's changing how risk shows up inside modern organizations.Autonomous AI agents are no longer just answering questions. They're wired into cloud consoles, internal tools, ticketing systems, and finance platforms, acting on our behalf with real permissions and real consequences. And in the rush to automate, many teams are quietly centralizing access in ways security models were never designed to handle.In this episode, Ben sits down with Tyler Moffitt to break down what's actually happening with agentic AI, why security teams are raising red flags, and how incentives around speed, automation, and scale are reshaping risk. They explore over-permissioned agents, token hygiene failures, broken separation of duties, and why AI agents are becoming the new security choke point.The conversation also looks at how attackers are already using agentic AI to operate at machine speed — and what defenders can do now to design systems that assume compromise rather than perfection.If you're building, deploying, or securing AI agents, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking Podcasts This list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!

Eric shares a personal epiphany regarding how to better serve his clients by restructuring his teaching model. He recounts a heated political argument with a friend that highlighted how "conspiracy" thinking and conflicting information can create friction and division between people. To address the short attention spans of his audience, Eric decides to pivot from a traditional pyramid framework to an hourglass model. This new visualization represents the choke point where internal lies and mental hurdles prevent professionals from reaching their goals. By focusing on collapsing time and breaking through these constraints, he aims to help his peers evolve through different business iterations. The session concludes with a group discussion on overcoming self-devaluation and maintaining the patience necessary to transition through these difficult professional stages. Key Takeaways: Prioritize your relationships and personal peace by refusing to engage in heated, divisive arguments over political conspiracies or topics where information is incomplete. Actively seek honest feedback from a peer group to help you identify blind spots and shortcomings that you may be unable to see on your own. Value rapid iteration and immediate action over the delays caused by "perfectionism," as getting feedback on a flawed version is more productive than waiting to be perfect. Identify the "friction points" in your life—the mental lies or gaps in knowledge—that act as bottlenecks preventing you from reaching your goals. Focus on "collapsing time" by utilizing the experience of mentors and coaches to achieve in a single year what might otherwise take a decade to accomplish alone.

The AI Infrastructure Gold Rush and Europe's Absence. Chris Riegel discusses how the AI revolution is driving a feverish rush to build large data centers (one gigawatt or better), though energy access is a critical choke point that may cause conflict between commercial demand and normal consumers by summer 2026. This intense global competition, likened to a gold rush, is primarily a two-horse race between the US and China. Europe is largely sitting out the advanced AI development wave, which is considered a tactical mistake that may leave them reliant on American or Chinese technolog 1965y.

How should America choke enemies like Iran, Russia and China? Not on the battlefield—according to Edward Fishman, that's yesterday's game. Today, Fishman argues in Chokepoint, America has turned the world economy into its weapon of global domination. In his bestseller, already shortlisted for the FT's best business books of the year, Fishman reveals that 21st century American power relies on economic warfare. From Treasury Department lawyers weaponizing the dollar-based financial system to Silicon Valley's semiconductor stranglehold, sanctions, export controls and financial coercion have replaced military force as America's primary tools of statecraft. Every U.S. president this century has doubled their predecessor's use of sanctions—a staggering escalation that has fundamentally reshaped the global economic order and may ultimately lead to less interdependence and, paradoxically, more military conflict. But what about Trump's tariffs? According to Fishman, Trump has made two critical errors: weaponizing America's economic power against allies like Europe, Canada and India rather than just adversaries, and relying on import tariffs—where the U.S. controls only 13% of global imports—instead of the true chokepoints where America dominates 90% of foreign exchange transactions and 80% of advanced AI chips. So it is Trump himself who has choked rather than successfully choking America's enemies. 1. Every US President This Century Has Doubled Sanctions Usage The escalation is relentless and bipartisan: from George W. Bush to Obama to Trump's first term to Biden, each administration imposed sanctions at twice the rate of their predecessor—revealing economic warfare as a defining trend of 21st century American power, not a partisan aberration.2. The Dollar System is America's True Superweapon The US doesn't need naval blockades anymore. Because the dollar is involved in 90% of global foreign exchange transactions, America can choke off countries like Iran simply by threatening banks, oil traders, and refineries worldwide with exclusion from the dollar-based financial system—making economic warfare both more powerful and more invisible than traditional military force.3. Trump Weaponized the Wrong Tools Against the Wrong Targets Trump broke with predecessors in two critical ways: he's using economic warfare against allies (Europe, Canada, India) not just adversaries, and he's relying on tariffs where the US controls only 13% of global imports instead of leveraging the true chokepoints—the dollar (90% of forex) and semiconductors (80% of advanced AI chips)—where American dominance is overwhelming.4. Economic Warfare Isn't Bloodless—It Creates Real Human Suffering Sanctions designed for coercion must inflict broad macroeconomic harm: inflation, currency debasement, unemployment. Fishman warns against treating these tools as cost-free alternatives to military action—they should only be deployed when vital national security interests are at stake, like stopping Russian imperialism in Ukraine, not for routine diplomatic leverage.5. The “Geoeconomic Impossible Trinity” Means Decoupling is Inevitable Only two of three factors can coexist: economic interdependence, economic security, and geopolitical competition. Since US-China and Europe-Russia rivalry isn't disappearing, interdependence must unravel over the next decade. The danger: when countries can't secure resources through trade, history shows they turn to conquest and imperialism—meaning economic warfare could paradoxically lead back to military conflict.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

My guest today is Caitlin Long, Founder and CEO of Custodia Bank, a 22-year Wall Street veteran, and one of the most influential voices in Bitcoin policy and financial regulation. A Harvard-trained lawyer and early Bitcoin advocate, Caitlin played a central role in turning Wyoming into the most crypto-friendly legal jurisdiction in the United States, helping pass over 20 blockchain-enabling laws. In this episode, Caitlin walks us through her ongoing legal battle with the Federal Reserve, the hidden mechanics of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and why access to a Fed master account is the front line of financial freedom. We discuss the stablecoin wars, the surveillance threats of CBDCs, and how privacy, law, and innovation are colliding inside the US banking system. Above all, this is a conversation about fighting centralized control, defending open access to money, and building the legal rails for a Bitcoin-native financial future.► This episode is part of the "Bitcoin Vegas 2025 Special" in collaboration with Ben Samocha, Founder of Israel's CryptoJungle and Crypto Talks podcast.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Iran has the capacity to militarily shut down tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. If it does, and that lasts for more than a month, then the world economy will suffer a heart attack. Can they do it? Yes. Will they? That all depends on what Trump does next.Click Here for Part 2

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a call between President Trump and Xi, two days of meetings between the U.S. and China in London, and an apparent effort from both sides to de-escalate. Topics include: Retracing steps of the past few weeks, clarity for the U.S. and others on the PRC's leverage over rare earths, the possibility of the U.S. easing tech export controls, and the lack of trust on both sides in the wake of the past few months. From there: The U.S. has concerns about a Chinese embassy in the UK, the New York Times surfaces a purported FSB document outlining various counterespionage anxieties related to the PRC, and Xi's daughter joins a dinner with Lukashenko. At the end: People's Daily publishes an interview with Ren Zhengfei, Xi continues his attempts to curb excess among party members, and Victor Wembanyama visits a Shaolin Monastery.

This is a two-part episode that focuses on very different topics with similar names. The original Operation Choke Point was launched by Obama as a way to shakedown industries that he thought he could manipulate. Biden revised the program in order to focus specifically on cryptocurrency-related businesses, exchanges, and banks working with industry leaders. The second part of the show features the maritime choke points worldwide that play a major role in the creeping spectre of World War 3. We focus on the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hurmuz, the Panama Canal, and the Strait of Malacca in southeast Asia. Conflict in the Middle East will cause multiple choke points to shut down, forcing the price of a barrel of oil to astronomical levels in a matter of weeks, not years.

In this conversation, OpnState shares his journey from a disillusioned banker to a policy advisor focused on compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) laws. He discusses the complexities of financial regulations, the erosion of individual rights, and the impact of global standard-setting bodies like the FATF on national sovereignty. OpnState emphasizes the presumption of guilt in financial transactions and the challenges posed by compliance culture, while also addressing the future of self-hosted wallets and the potential for pushback against globalist interests.  Stephan & OpnState also discuss the dangers of delegating self-sovereignty to political figures and the compliance mindset that has permeated society. There is a need to explore cultural change, legal and political paths to challenge the FATF, and the importance of creating alternative systems; this could be achieved through individual responsibility.
