New Mexico Govenor Grisham implements gun laws that won't work. It's one thing to make laws against guns, but it's another to make laws against gun-owning, law-abiding citizens. Although she is trying, it's not enough. Get it right! Security Technology that lets only the owner of the gun be able to use it? That may just work.  Govenor Jared Polis and Cake Baker Phillips: is his stance legitimate? Some politicians will say anything to get closer to the middle. His stance would have been nice when the case was actually going on.  Can we just close the border already? How many troops strong are we? At this point it's no one's fault but our own as American citizens. The border crisis has been going on for decades, so it's not a left or a right thing. It's a look the other way thing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If your principal's main residence alarm system is going off at 2 in the morning, can you turn it off? Technology awareness goes a lot further than 'becoming a hacker' or learning to code. Today we are delighted to speak with Paul Nieto III a Physical Security Technology Manager about how the EP profession is modernizing but in a much more accessible way than many might fear. Join us as we ask: Where should the executive protection professional go to augment their technology skills?

This week, we have two segments. The first is a conversation with Emerson T. Brooking, a resident senior fellow at the Digital Forensic Research Lab of the Atlantic Council, about the fall of Kabul and the rise of the Taliban, and the role that digital and social media have and will continue to play there. And second, we turn to a discussion I had with Emerson's Atlantic Council college, Rose Jackson, and the Institute for Security Technology's Vera Zakem, about the nascent pro-democracy effort around tech issues and tech policy around the world, and the challenges it faces. First, to Afghanistan, where the fall of the Taliban was broadcast around the world by Taliban fighters themselves, sharing photos and selfies as they walked in to official residences and government offices, announcing their victory in the war in Afghanistan. To talk more about the role of social media in their return to power and what to expect in the future, we spoke with DFRLab's Emerson T. Brooking. Emerson is the coauthor of LikeWar: The Weaponization of Social Media, and is an expert in the fields of disinformation, terrorist communication, and internet policy, and recently led an initiative to secure the integrity of the 2020 U.S. election. I caught up with on Thursday of this week. Second, on to a conversation hosted before Afghanistan took over the headlines, about the future of democracy and its relationship with technology. My two guests are experts on these subjects. Rose Jackson is an entrepreneur and former diplomat with 15+ years of experience strengthening democracy and defending human rights, leveraging technology for social impact, and building institutions to support democratic activists around the world. Jackson is currently the director of the Democracy & Tech Initiative at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab. She previously founded and served as CEO of Beacon, a platform leveraging data and marketing technology to make it easier for people to take meaningful civic and political action. Prior to founding her company, Jackson served as a senior policy adviser at the Open Society Foundations (OSF) where she led a presidential transition initiative focused on reforming U.S. support to foreign military and police. During the Obama Administration, Jackson served as the Chief of Staff to the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the State Department, and before that as an advisor to Senator Chris Coons on foreign policy and national security issues as a Galloway Fellow. Vera Zakem is currently a Senior Technology and Policy Advisor at the Institute for Security and Technology and a founder of a mission-driven agency, Zakem Global Strategies. Previously, she led strategy and research at Twitter.
