Explosive developments pull back the curtain on weaponized government power, high-stakes political oversight, and the ongoing fight to protect citizen privacy

Rachel Maddow shares new reporting that in the midst of elevated threats from Iran and its allies, Kash Patel demoted two top counterterrorism officials for not being adequately attentive to Stephen Miller's wife after she got harassing phone calls, even though the calls were not terrorism-related. And in the wake of Kash Patel's personal e-mail being hacked, the FBI suffered a massive hack of the personal information of employees, raising even more questions about Patel's ability to keep American safe in an increasingly threatening environment. Rachel Maddow shares new reporting from the Washington Post that the U.S. and Russia have agreed to remove some of the safety measures that placed human oversight between artificial intelligence and military weapons systems. The deal comes in the context of other examples of Trump eschewing American values and interests in order to ingratiate himself with the world's dictators.Ted Boutrous, a First Amendment lawyer who represents Rachel Maddow but is also representing MS NOW, CNN and Politico, talks with Rachel about progress in the lawsuit against Donald Trump's ban of some members of the news media from the White House.David Corn, investigative reporter for Mother Jones talks with Rachel Maddow about being targeted by Russia with weird, false, deepfake propaganda videos after the publication of his book on Russian interference in politics in the United States.

We discuss immigration and border security, the relationship between the CIA and British intelligence, and whether Western governments have left themselves dangerously exposed. Mike takes us inside the world of intelligence gathering, from how China recruits and develops assets over decades to the extraordinary scale of economic espionage and the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. We also explore Iran, terrorism, Taiwan and the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence, including how AI, deepfakes and disinformation could transform espionage, propaganda and warfare.WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/Chapters 00:00 Is Britain a Security Threat to America?02:00 Britain's Growing Terror Threat05:00 Immigration, Open Borders & National Security11:00 How Worried Is the CIA About Europe?17:15 Can Britain Reverse the Security Problem?20:37 How the Five Eyes Intelligence Network Works24:27 Can Intelligence Agencies Be Trusted?26:24 What the CIA Really Thinks About Europe28:18 Trump, Politics & the CIA33:52 Is China America's Greatest Intelligence Threat?38:42 Are Chinese Citizens Expected to Gather Intelligence?42:52 Chinese Students & the Espionage Threat49:09 Why China Thinks Decades Ahead51:26 TikTok & China's Information Warfare55:00 How the West Can Compete With China59:57 How AI Is Transforming Intelligence01:03:39 AI, Deepfakes & Wartime Propaganda01:08:05 The Next Threat From Artificial Intelligence

US President Donald Trump discussed AI development with dozens of tech bosses at the White House on Tuesday.

On this episode of Technology & Security, Dr Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by Professor Elke Schwarz, Professor of Political Theory at Queen Mary University of London and author of Death Machines: The Ethics of Violent Technologies. When a machine helps decide who dies, who is left holding the moral responsibility? Elke explains how AI-enabled targeting acts as a cognitive prosthesis, why operators working within a 20-second decision window tend to over-trust system outputs, and how the moral friction between a decision and its consequences is being eroded.The conversation examines why "meaningful human control" has given way to a more technical logic "context-appropriate human judgment and control," and what an expanding targeting appetite means for civilians in conflict. Elke traces how venture capital's growth-driven timelines are pushing defence procurement toward speed and scale, and asks who bears the cost when defence starts to look like Silicon Valley. The episode closes on what it takes to build a more intentional, deliberate AI future, and why philosophy, ethics and social science belong in the room for security leaders, not on the margins.Elke Schwarz is Vice-Chair of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control and a current British Academy Global Innovation Fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations. Her research examines the ethics of war and technology, including how venture capital dynamics are shaping military norms and defence spending.

A powerful breakdown of global politics!

President Donald Trump’s latest United Nations address put Iran, China, Russia, Ukraine and America’s role in the world front and center. Tudor Dixon is joined by Heritage Foundation senior counselor and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. James Carafano to break down what Trump’s UN speech revealed about his foreign policy strategy and what could come next. Carafano explains why he believes Trump’s declaration that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon was one of the defining moments of the speech and discusses how the war in Iran could affect the midterm elections. He also examines the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, his recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and why Moscow remains central to any potential end to the conflict. Plus, Tudor and Carafano discuss President Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington, the growing strategic competition between the United States and China, the future of Taiwan, Venezuela and Latin America, and Trump’s approach to Greenland. What does Trump’s “America First” foreign policy mean for the global order—and could the changes underway outlast his presidency? Tudor and Carafano break it all down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hegseth Has Been Hiding Iran Dead #s. War on the Moon? Trump Bans CNN, MSNow, Politico. Ovechkin is an Agent of Putin. UNGA Week. Ed Sheeran Speaks Out. Paul Rieckhoff is solo from New York City with Trump, Zelensky and Netanyahu all in town for UNGA, and the news cycle already on fire. AI researchers are sounding the alarm that models are breaking containment. The Pentagon quietly undercounted American military deaths in the Middle East by at least four. Reaper drones are being shifted to Southern Command as Trump and Rubio keep Cuba on the vision board. And the chairman of the Joint Chiefs is openly telling troops to prepare for war on the moon. When Congress is out and Trump is losing in the polls, that is precisely when the most reckless moves get made. Paul also breaks down Trump banning CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House, Pete Hegseth's "send me" crusade speech at a Texas A&M football game, Alex Ovechkin cutting propaganda alongside Putin, and Kirk Herbstreet's confused version of "independent." Then a rare bright spot: Ed Sheeran's Philadelphia statement on Israel and Gaza, delivered with the tone of reconciliation nobody else in pop culture is willing to try. And a first look at Paul's new lawsuit against the state of New York to end closed primaries and give independent voters and independent veterans a real seat at the table. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Climate Week NYC is expected to convene more than 100,00 attendees for more than 1,000 events across New York City Sept. 20-27. We're kicking off our special daily podcast episodes with a topic that will feature heavily in the week's agenda — energy and climate security.    The Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts have reshaped the way the world thinks about energy security. At the same time, climate change is contributing to more frequent and severe extreme weather events — with big implications for national security.  "You kind of have this convergence of a change in the energy security story at the same time that the impacts of climate change are really coming home to roost," says our guest in today's episode, Erin Sikorsky.    Erin is Director of The Center for Climate and Security, a research institute focused on tackling systemic climate and ecological security risks. The center is part of The Council on Strategic Risks, a nonpartisan security policy think tank, and Erin is speaking at Climate Week's opening ceremony Sept. 21.   In the episode, Erin explains why the security framing "will be front and center" during Climate Week NYC.  "You can't absorb attacks on your electrical grid, for example, or you can't absorb attacks on your food system or your water supply if those things are already strained because of extreme weather events," Erin says.  Tune in all week for our special daily coverage from Climate Week NYC.

Space infrastructure has become an increasingly important part of everyday life, which has also made it an increasingly attractive target for exploitation. Host Maria Varmazis and Sean MacKirdy, Area Vice President for the National Security vertical at Elastic Government Solutions, sit down to discuss how space stakeholders need to reevaluate their approach to securing space systems. As space systems continue to grow more important, malicious actors are going to look to target them more often. By adopting a stronger universal framework and a consistent way to interpret data across all spacecraft, space cybersecurity practitioners will be able to standardize their practices and create more effective and timely responses.

What if the next battlefield isn't physical, but your brain?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. James Giordano (Professor Emeritus of Neurology and Biochemistry, Chair Emeritus of the Neuroethics Studies Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, served as the consulting neuroscientist on research into the original cases of Havana Syndrome) explores the rapidly evolving world of neuroscience, cognitive warfare, biowarfare, electromagnetic technologies, consciousness, and the ethical questions shaping the future of humanity.Dr. Giordano examines why he believes the threat of biowarfare deserves far more public attention, revealing examples of biological technologies that could potentially be used to target individuals and discussing how they may influence brain function, physiology, and perception.He also unpacks the history of covert CIA programs like MKUltra and Operation Artichoke, whose objectives included investigating whether people could be involuntarily controlled, hypnotized, or coerced into acting against their own will - including carrying out assassinations.We dive into the science behind electromagnetic frequencies, explaining how electromagnetic energy interacts with neurological systems, how these technologies have become dramatically smaller, more precise, and more portable, and their potential military applications, from disrupting drones and aircraft to crowd-control technologies.Dr. Giordano also explains how sound waves can disorient the nervous system, why symptoms such as headaches and dizziness may vary so widely between individuals, the controversial discussion surrounding microplastics and electrical conductivity, whether visual stimuli can disrupt neurological function, and how Faraday cages may protect against certain electromagnetic energies.Beyond emerging technologies, the discussion explores one of today's biggest questions: Is cognitive warfare already happening through social media algorithms? Dr. Giordano examines how information environments can shape perception, influence decision-making, and potentially become tools of modern conflict.The conversation expands into the frontiers of neuroscience and consciousness, asking whether some individuals possess neurological architectures that enable extraordinary cognitive abilities, how life experiences, trauma, and brain structure influence perception, why entheogens may facilitate profound spiritual experiences, whether neurophysiology can help explain reports of telepathy or remote viewing, and whether quantum processes could play a role in brain function and what those implications might be if they do.Finally, Dr. Giordano tackles the ethics of modern warfare itself: What is truly permissible in war conducted in the name of defense, freedom, or God? How do societies determine who the real enemies are? And why does he believe that when scientists lose their curiosity, they stop being scientists?Whether you're interested in neuroscience, military technology, psychology, consciousness, philosophy, national security, or the future of humanity, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and leave you questioning far more than you expected!For a limited time, get $250 off Cove Pure water filtration at http://www.covepure.com/breakdownEvery self-made person started somewhere.
