In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson and Phil Tarrant are joined by Simon Bergman, CEO of M+C Saatchi World Services, to unpack the evolving landscape of grey zone warfare and the role of creative industries in modern conflict. Drawing on decades of operational and commercial experience, Bergman explores how advertising expertise is being harnessed to support government information operations: crafting narratives, influencing audiences, and shaping perceptions in the contested information environment. Thompson and Bergman discuss the cultural and operational divide between government and industry, and how M+C Saatchi World Services is bridging this gap through a hybrid team of former military personnel and creative professionals. Together, they examine how this model can enable faster, more effective responses in the grey zone. The conversation also turns to the impact of artificial intelligence on information warfare. While acknowledging AI's ability to enhance speed and reach, Bergman stresses the irreplaceable value of human insight in crafting authentic, effective messaging. Finally, the team reflects on Australia's information warfare capability, with Thompson calling for greater investment and deeper collaboration with industry to keep pace with adversaries operating below the threshold of open conflict.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with George Hill, retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, to expose the pervasive corruption festering within America's bureaucracy. They examine the disturbing revelations from declassified documents, the culture of disengagement which has eroded civic responsibility, and the weaponization of intelligence agencies against the American people. They break down how unchecked bureaucratic power threatens the very foundation of the Republic, why whistleblowers face retaliation instead of protection, and the urgent need for Congressional action to restore accountability and transparency. Episode Highlights Declassified documents confirm long-standing corruption inside intelligence agencies and the FBI. Whistleblowers face systemic retaliation, revealing Congress's failure to protect them. Oikophobia fuels cultural disengagement, self-hatred, and the rise of an unaccountable, unchecked bureaucracy that threatens the Republic.

Andrew Shapiro talks with CSIS researcher (and undersea cable enthusiast) Erin Murphy about the threats facing these critical transmission paths at the bottom of the world's oceans. Erin explains why undersea cables are vital to military communications, financial systems, and healthcare—and how they've evolved into strategic targets.

I am excited to bring this conversation to you all today! Kerry Chavez is an exceptionally sharp scholar at the United States Air Force Academy working on research related to national security and future tech. While she has published quite a bit looking at the use of drones and their effect on the battlefield, her work has also taken her into the realms of AI, quantum computing and a bunch of other fascinating topics.In this wide ranging discussion, Kerry introduces us to some of the major developments and debates surrounding emerging and disruptive technologies in the national security realm. We discuss the use of drones by non-state actors and the geopolitical implications of that development, Kerry briefs us on quantum computing and its potential impact on intelligence and operational security, and work to separate fact from fiction or reality from hype on a lot of these technologies. Subscribe to Tim Talks Politics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for the full show notes (30% off for podcast listeners)!

In this episode of Building the Base, Hondo Geurts and Lauren Bedula sit down with Zach Beecher, Partner at Scout Ventures, who brings a unique perspective from serving as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq to now leading dual-use technology investments on the front lines of defense innovation. Drawing from his combat experience witnessing "innovation at the speed of battle" during the liberation of Mosul from ISIS, his transition through venture capital in London, and his current role backing breakthrough defense technologies, Beecher discusses the urgent need to bridge Silicon Valley innovation with national security imperatives. He shares his insights on why "innovation at the speed of bureaucracy looks a lot different than innovation at the speed of battle," explains how venture capital can serve as a "player coach" for defense entrepreneurs, and argues that America must grow the industrial base through addition rather than subtraction by incentivizing collaboration between traditional primes and non-traditional startups.Five key takeaways from today's episode:Combat experience reveals innovation potential, as Beecher describes how deploying to Iraq in 2017 exposed him to soldiers thinking on their feet to solve dynamic battlefield challenges, from integrating off-the-shelf drones for Iraqi forces to creating software solutions for logistics, showing him that "innovation at the speed of battle" could be transformative if scaled properly.The dual-use investment landscape has dramatically evolved, Beecher notes, from being called a "warmonger" on a panel just two years ago for suggesting quantum companies focus on national security applications, to today's environment where "the capital ladder" from early stage through scaled production is "fully formed in a way that it's never been before."Contracts are the only validation that matters, Beecher emphasizes, because "contracts signify demand and contracts ultimately indicate what the government has identified as a priority," warning that without real customer validation through actual purchases, even well-funded startups risk "building a bridge to nowhere."Success requires mastering four core pillars, Beecher explains entrepreneurs must understand the problems they're solving, the people responsible for solving them, the processes required to navigate solutions, and how their products integrate across all three, with companies like Tern AI demonstrating this by addressing alternative navigation needs for both military operations and commercial autonomous vehicles.Collaboration beats competition in defense innovation, as Beecher advocates for "leading through addition rather than subtraction," pointing to examples like NASA's commercial orbital program that sparked competition between traditional primes and companies like SpaceX, ultimately transforming entire industries through incentivized partnership rather than zero-sum thinking.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Richard Danzig, the 71st Secretary of the US Navy and Rand Corporation trustee; joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss his new report for the think tank — “Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and National Security: The Fierce Urgency of Now;” how to think about AI; the nature of the competition between America and China; importance of speed in developing AI and operationalizing it; applications for which AI is best suited; role of AI in improving cybersecurity across the defense enterprise; the importance of AI talent in government and how the technology can compensate for not enough skilled people; the role of humans in overseeing AI; concerns that AI is oversold and that a bubble is building on capital markets that might burst; and notion of ethical use of AI among great powers.

Recorded on July 25, 2025 and August 3, 2025 https://youtu.be/fxYq3F7Xntw Episode 137 of the PetroNerds podcast is a heavy hitting energy dense China focussed special. Trisha Curtis, CEO of PetroNerds and host of the PetroNerds podcast, sits down with Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute to discuss China, energy and power generation, and energy security and national security. This podcast was prompted by a question Trisha and Jason received when recording a livestream on the Big Beautiful Bill. Someone asked if they could talk more about the US energy industry in the context of national security and energy security and China's rising power and military threat. In this Fliparoo podcast, Jason acts as the host and asks Trisha a series of questions that allow her to dive into the competition between the US and China and lay out the framework and importance of energy in this imperative head to head battle. Before getting started, Trisha updates listeners on everything happening in the oil market and the economy with a fresh introduction covering the recent OPEC output increase, Russia's provocative tweets, and the Fed. Trisha and Jason then cover everything from the Chinese grid and power generation to the US grid and power generation, the use of power generation in manufacturing military equipment, Europe's supposed increase in military spending, Shell's pulling out of a sustainability group, Chevron's purchase of Hess, and US shale productivity. Trisha specifically gets into US national security and the link to energy security, Chinese energy consumption, US power generation and consumption, Chinese power generation, Chinese oil demand, and how competing head to head with China means competing head to head with China on energy. Two great takeaway quotes from Trisha Curtis: “Energy is everything in global competition" and "Shell is waking up to the reality of energy.” Listen on Itunes

Welcome to episode #995 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Nelson Repenning has built his career at MIT Sloan and Shift Gear by asking a simple but haunting question: why do so many smart, capable organizations fail to get the right work done? In his new book, There's Got to Be a Better Way, Nelson (along with his co-author, Don Kieffer) introduces dynamic work design: a practical framework that helps leaders move beyond broken systems and toward better execution. In this conversation, we explore the five principles behind this approach: solving the right problem, structuring for discovery, connecting the human chain, regulating for flow and visualizing the work. We talk about how businesses become addicted to heroics and strategic ambiguity, and how this culture often traps people in cycles of fire-fighting and busywork that look productive but deliver little. Nelson shares stories from his experience applying these principles in casinos, hospitals, biotech labs, and even homeless shelters (environments where urgency is real, resources are stretched and clarity can make or break outcomes). We also discuss how leadership often overcomplicates productivity with reorgs and top-down mandates, instead of fixing the structural design flaws that block meaningful progress. Nelson is quick to point out that the work isn't just about doing more: it's about doing it better… and that better means aligning actual workflow with the outcomes organizations care about. He reflects on his early days as a student at MIT and why dynamic work design is less a management fad and more a necessary shift in how modern teams operate. If you're tired of watching your best people get burned out chasing KPIs while nothing fundamental improves, this episode offers a clearer path. We also get into the tension between change management and change design, and why the latter matters more in a world flooded with noise, complexity and well-intentioned but ineffective solutions. This is a sharp and focused take on work culture from someone who's spent a lifetime challenging the systems beneath it. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 1:00:22. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Britain's Broken Police System! (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast, 204, Season 21, Episode 0005 Over this week's Black Spy Podcast will continue analysing Britain's broken policing system. The British policing system is increasingly seen as broken — caught between ideological pressures, a hostile media, disengaged politicians, and internal dysfunction. Once a globally respected model of "policing by consent," UK policing is now the perennial "whipping boy" of the British media, frequently lambasted from all sides. This criticism is partly due to a cultural shift where trust in institutions has declined, but also because policing uniquely occupies a frontline position in enforcing state power — a role that makes it ripe for both legitimate scrutiny and sensationalist scapegoating. Unlike in many other countries, British politicians rarely champion the police. In the United States or France, political leaders across the spectrum often vocally support their law enforcement institutions, viewing them as essential to national identity and internal security. In contrast, UK politicians tend to distance themselves from the police when controversy arises, often feeding public cynicism rather than countering it. This absence of political backing leaves police officers demoralised and vulnerable to being thrown "under the bus" in times of crisis, rather than being defended or constructively supported. Popular media plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions. British television dramas and films frequently portray police as racist, misogynist, or institutionally corrupt. While some of these representations are rooted in real scandals, if incomplete understandings such events as the Stephen Lawrence case, the mishandling of rape investigations, or the behaviour of some Metropolitan Police officers — the fictional depiction often magnifies these issues with 1960's and 70's generalised stereotypes of police actions that are now way reflective of modern British policing. This creates a public narrative that all officers are morally compromised, poorly trained, or socially regressive, further damaging morale and recruitment. Moreover, policing is a dangerous job, but unlike their colleagues in practically every other police service in the world including the British province of Northern Ireland, mainland British police officers generally have no firearm with which to defend themselves and the public with. As 98% of British are constantly unarmed. At the same time, UK policing is accused of becoming excessively “woke.” Forces are encouraged to demonstrate social awareness on issues like diversity, inclusion, and gender identity. Critics argue that time spent on symbolic gestures — like dancing at Pride or policing social media posts — detracts from crime prevention and erodes public confidence. However, police are also under relentless scrutiny from every political angle: derided by the left for being oppressive, and by the right for being too politically correct. This contradictory environment makes effective leadership and consistent operational focus nearly impossible. Recruitment and retention have become serious problems. Policing is no longer seen as a desirable career: the risks are high, pay is relatively low, public respect is diminishing, and the threat of professional ruin following a viral video or policy misstep is ever-present. Consequently, many experienced officers are leaving, while entry standards have been lowered to fill vacancies. Complex educational entry requirements, meant to professionalise the service, have ironically deterred candidates who may be strong in practical, frontline aptitude but not academically inclined. Internally, management within many forces has become overly bureaucratic, with senior officers often unwilling to support their junior colleagues. Fear of reputational damage and media backlash means command staff are more likely to criticise rank-and-file officers than defend them. This top-down culture promotes self-preservation over solidarity and weakens operational cohesion. In sum, British policing today is a system adrift — politically abandoned, socially caricatured, ideologically pulled in all directions, and professionally undermined. Without cultural, political and managerial reform, trust in the police will continue to erode, and with it, the very foundations of public safety and civic order.

Gordon Adams is a graduate of Columbia University and worked in the national security sector including serving at the Undersecretary level, reporting to Leon Panetta, during the Clinton administration. Adams also worked with Think Tanks and authored numerous pieces in this space.We had a wide ranging discussion touching on everything from the "Deep State" to human trafficking to Project 2025. I can't do justice to the breadth and depth by summary. I felt this episode merited consecutive publishing after Prof. DeGennaro's most recent appearance; as they are complimentary shows. However, this show was far more focused on domestic US matters and less on the military conflicts abroad. However, there is no way to disentangle past martial actions and the current climate,Adams currently is known as Abby Ross and when not involved in Theater, writes a policy based SubStack. 

Is America undermining the rules-based international order? Are we jeopardizing the stability and predictability of the very system that we built for the world?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- Listeners weigh-in on the latest Hillary Clinton/Russiagate revelations. Will anyone ultimately be held accountable? 5:15pm- A report from The New York Post reveals that FBI Director Kash Patel found a “burn bag” with thousands of documents related to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. One of the documents discovered is the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's probe. 5:20pm- Sen. Elizabeth Warren leaned on a table that wasn't bolted to the Senate floor—causing her and the table to spill over. While other Senators helped her up, why did Ron Wyden just keep walking? Don't worry: Warren wasn't hurt. Though, we are not sure if the table is ok. 5:25pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump stated: “Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information.” Will members of Congress finally be banned from trading stocks? Senator Josh Hawley has sponsored a new bill, “The Honest Act,” which passed through the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Wednesday. 5:35pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss President Donald Trump ending wars between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia. Could Trump be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize? Plus, the president gives Russia a new deadline to end its war with Ukraine. Dr. Coates is the author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.”

In this episode of The Burn Bag, A'ndre sits down with retired CIA analyst Gina Bennett, who famously authored the first classified warning about Osama bin Laden in 1993. A key voice in the fight against al-Qaeda — and featured in the Netflix documentary Manhunt — Gina reflects on her decades in intelligence and how the U.S. national security system has long understood the nature of threats.Now, she's pushing for a paradigm shift with her Hunter-Gatherer National Security theory — a bold framework that challenges the traditional, militarized view of power and argues that skills like emotional intelligence, civic engagement, and social cohesion are just as vital to national security as military might. Together, A'ndre and Gina explore the deep historical biases embedded in how we define “security,” the concept of evolutionary power, the dangers of neglecting civic education in a democracy, and what a more holistic, evolved security strategy could look like.

There is so much instability and uncertainty in our world today, and it is important to do our best to stay informed and aware of what is going on. Although most global issues are well beyond our control and some don't have a direct impact on our local communities, it is critical that we acknowledge the big picture and prepare for downhill effects. On top of these global and geopolitical issues there are numerous issues that are more immediate for us here in America.    In this episode Stephen and Jacob break down the importance of community involvement in regard to the bigger picture. Between foreign wars, global power posturing, and national security concerns, there is a lot that the modern minuteman and their teams should be paying attention to for overall preparedness and so much of that starts with the "inner circle" moving to the "outer circle".   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

Australia's defence outlook and the preparedness of our nation to adequately defend itself is currently under review and worth further discussion.  

Quantum computing has been "five years away" for decades, but when NVIDIA's Jensen Huang says we've hit an inflection point, Congress listens and stocks soar. The reality? We're still building very expensive proof-of-concepts. Today's quantum computers run on 100 qubits—impressive to physicists, useless to you. Commercial viability needs a million qubits, a 10,000x leap that's not incremental progress but a complete reinvention.Unlike the familiar tech story where room-sized computers became pocket devices, quantum is binary: it either works at massive scale or it's an elaborate academic exercise. There's no quantum equivalent of early PCs that could at least balance your checkbook—no useful middle ground between 100 qubits and a million.China wants quantum for cryptography: the master key to any lock. America's lead exists mostly on paper—in research publications and VC rounds, not deployed systems. Dr. Peter Shadbolt from PsiQuantum, fresh from congressional testimony, argues America must commit now or risk losing a race that could redefine pharmaceutical research and financial security. The real question: can a democracy sustain long-term investment in technologies that offer zero immediate gratification?

This week on The Game Within, Jerry Jones ramps up his feud with Micah Parsons, throwing public jabs at the Cowboys star during a tense contract standoff. Over 100 NFL players face fines and possible suspensions for reselling Super Bowl tickets. In international news, Trump's immigration crackdown blocks a Venezuelan Little League team from competing in the U.S., drawing fresh scrutiny ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Steph Curry questions whether NBA players are actually underpaid despite soaring league revenues, and new data shows women's sports are booming globally—from sold-out tournaments to billion-dollar investments. Finally, we break down Trump's new executive order targeting college sports, aiming to restrict NIL deals, protect scholarships, and strip athletes of employee status.
