Podcasts about us intelligence community

What should the US Intelligence Community prioritize domestically and overseas, and how should the work be done? We sat down with Congressman Rick Crawford, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, to learn his perspective on these questions. The conversation emphasized the growing threat of China's influence in the West, the impact of the new Open Source Intelligence Subcommittee, and the importance of analytic integrity in intelligence.  If you liked this episode, check out these links: Spy Chat with Chris Costa | Special Guest: Beth Sanner Dir. of National Intelligence Roundtable: 2025 Society for Intelligence History Panel An Evening with H.R.

Intelligence is all around us. We read about it in the news, wonder who is spying on us through our phones or computers, and want to know what is happening in the shadows. The US Intelligence Community or IC, as insiders call it, is more powerful than ever, but also more vulnerable than it has been in decades. It is facing the threat of rival intelligence services from countries like Russia and China while fighting to keep up with new technology and the private sector. Still, the IC's greatest struggle is always with the American people, who expect it to keep them safe but not at the cost of their liberty and principles. This foundational problem is at the center of The Spy and the State: The History of American Intelligence (Oxford University Press, 2025). Based on original research and a new interpretation of US history, this masterful book offers a complete history of American intelligence from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Jeffrey Rogg explores the origins and evolution of intelligence in America, including its overlooked role in some of the key events that shaped the nation and the historical underpinnings of intelligence controversies that have shaken the country to its constitutional core. With the American public in mind, he introduces the concept of US civil-intelligence relations to explain the interaction between intelligence and the society it serves.While answering questions from the past, The Spy and the State poses new questions for the future that the United States must confront as intelligence gains ever greater importance in the twenty-first century. Jeffrey P. Rogg is Senior Research Fellow at the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida. He previously held academic positions at the Joint Special Operations University at US Special Operations Command, the Department of Intelligence and Security Studies at The Citadel, and the National Security Affairs Department at the US Naval War College.

The US Intelligence Community's 2003 assessment that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon was reaffirmed this week, even as the Trump Administration is moving military assets into the area. What gives? Also today: shut down NPR? Please!

The Trump administration's national security team is in place, and the intelligence community is feeling the shock. Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" has infiltrated federal agencies, intelligence officials are resigning or being purged, and US allies are questioning how much they can still trust Washington. In this episode, The Atlantic's Shane Harris joins Matt to assess the state of the US intelligence community one month into Trump's second term. They discuss the FBI shake-up under Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, Musk's DOGE operatives posing an unprecedented counterintelligence risk, and whether Five Eyes can survive another four years. Plus, is the intelligence community still a viable career path for those who believe in its mission?

Patrick discusses Steven Greer's comments about Carl Sagan being an asset for the US Intelligence Community.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – It's not difficult to understand why Xi Jinping's followers have been desperately working on burying the three Yan reports on COVID-19 origin now. Remember how my first X account was suspended within 36 hours after I posted the link of the first Yan Report in September 2020? As well as massive misinformation on MSM like New York...

This is the last and amongst the liveliest of my interviews at Munich's DLD Conference this year. An old friend who has appeared on KEEN ON several times before, Andrew McAfee is a MIT professor who co-wrote the 2014 classic The Second Machine Age. In our conversation, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the DLD Conference, McAfee reflects on the technological changes of the past 20 years,. He acknowledges that while he accurately predicted the broad trajectory of technological advancement, he underestimated AI's capabilities in areas like language processing and creative tasks. McAfee discusses the emergence of deep learning around 2012 and its evolution into today's generative AI. While maintaining overall optimism about technology's impact, he expresses concern about increasing social polarization and anxiety, particularly related to social media use, though he notes these trends actually preceded current technology. On economic matters, McAfee challenges the notion that tech innovation is stagnating, pointing to newcomers like Nvidia and OpenAI as evidence of continued inventive dynamism. He discusses Europe's technological lag behind the United States, citing regulatory challenges like GDPR as potential factors. Regarding climate change, McAfee believes technological solutions, particularly nuclear fusion, could address environmental challenges, though he acknowledges the severity of the crisis. He concludes by warning how traditional companies must adapt to survive in an era of rapid technological change, particularly facing competition from more agile, tech-savvy competitors.Andrew McAfee (@amcafee) is a Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management, co-founder and co-director of MIT's Initiative on the Digital Economy, and the inaugural Visiting Fellow at the Technology and Society organization at Google. He studies how technological progress changes the world. His next book, The Geek Way, will be published by Little, Brown in 2023. His previous books include More from Less and, with Erik Brynjolfsson, The Second Machine Age. McAfee has written for publications including Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. He's talked about his work on CNN and 60 Minutes, at the World Economic Forum, TED, and the Aspen Ideas Festival, with Tom Friedman and Fareed Zakaria, and in front of many international and domestic audiences. He's also advised many of the world's largest corporations and organizations ranging from the IMF to the Boston Red Sox to the US Intelligence Community. McAfee and his frequent coauthor Erik Brynjolfsson are othe nly people named to both the Thinkers50 list of the world's top management thinkers and the Politico 50 group of people transforming American politics.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Analysis of gold to silver ratio chart reveals trends and implications for investors, and Elon Musk's role in Trump's administration could potentially reduce the U.S. government debt. Christopher Aaron is Senior Editor for the precious metals investment portal Gold Eagle. A former counter-terrorism officer for the CIA and Department of Defense, Christopher has always had an independent analytical outlook. He volunteered to serve two tours to Iraq and Afghanistan from 2006 - 2009, conducting pattern analysis and mapping for the US Intelligence Community in Washington, DC. Drawing upon his investigative background, he turned attention to the financial markets in the early 2000s. Mapping shares similarities with technical analysis of the financial markets because both involve the observation and interpretation of patterns found in human nature. Through his work, Christopher shares with clients how these patterns are cyclical and embedded. Recognizing these patterns can be used to profit. Christopher Aaron holds a degree in history and business, with advanced Department of Defense training in intelligence analysis.

In this episode of The Bankers' Bookshel, host Paolo Sironi speaks with Dr. Jobst Landgrebe and Professor Barry Smith about their book, "Why Machines Will Never Rule the World: Artificial Intelligence without Fear". The guests argue that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot achieve true intelligence or consciousness due to fundamental mathematical and philosophical limitations. Dr. Landgrebe explains that AI, including models like ChatGPT, is unable to solve novel problems independently, as it relies on patterns from pre-existing data. Professor Smith adds that human intelligence involves both "knowing how" and "knowing that," which AI lacks. They assert that AI's current capabilities are limited to specific tasks and cannot replicate the complexity of human thought or active perception. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding AI's limitations to prevent misuse and manage expectations. They encourage a realistic view of AI, focusing on its role as a tool rather than a threat. The episode challenges the hype around artificial general intelligence, advocating for a practical and informed approach to AI development and deployment. ‌ ‌ Dr. Jobst Landgrebe - Chief Technology Strategist, Indivumed TherapeuticsDr. Jobst Landgrebe obtained his MD/PhD in cell biology in 1998. He is a licensed physician and studied medicine, biochemistry and mathematics. He works as head of R&D in a cancer research biotech company based in Hamburg. His current research interests are theory of science (for which he is a visiting professor at the University of Italian Switzerland) and biomedical/biomathematical cancer research. Barry Smith - Professor of Philosophy, Computer Science, and Biomedical Informatics, University of Buffalo Barry Smith is one of the world's most widely cited contemporary philosophers, known especially for his application of ideas derived from logic and ontology to the solution of problems in domains outside philosophy, including economics, biology and medicine. Most recently he has been working on extending this approach to the military and intelligence domains, where his proposals have been adopted as baseline standards by the US Department of Defense and by the US Intelligence Community. ‌ On the book:The main thesis of Why Machines Will Never Rule the World (Routledge 2023)'s main thesis is that so-called ‘Artificial General Intelligence' – an AI with the level of intelligence achieved by human beings – is for mathematical reasons impossible. This means that many assumptions surrounding current AI, including assumptions concerning the future takeover of the planet by autonomous robots, are founded on hype. ‌

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss the US's National Counterintelligence strategy and that it highlights the risk that foreign intelligence entities will use personal information to target and blackmail individuals. They also talk about the recent international prisoner swap. Although two cybercriminals were exchanged in the swap, there is still no strong evidence that they were working for the state.

In recent weeks, US authorities have received intelligence information from a source that indicates that Iran was plotting to assassinate Donald Trump. It is still unknown whether the assassination attempt on the former President of the United States is related to Tehran. - В последние недели власти США получили от источника разведданые, которые свидетельствуют о заговоре Ирана с целью попытки убийства Дональда Трампа. Пока неизвестно, связано ли покушение на экс-президента Соединенных Штатов с Тегераном. Последние подробности расследования произошедшего - в нашем материале.

* Guest: Lowell Nelson - CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org * Stop Taxing Tips - Ron Paul. * "Donald Trump recently promised that, if he wins the November election, he will support eliminating taxes on tips as part of his proposal to renew and expand the 2017 tax cuts." * Instead of worrying about how much tax cuts cost the government, the politicians should worry about how much welfare and warfare spending costs taxpayers. * Julian Assange Is Free! - Judge Andrew Napolitano - "Assange is a hero. He exposed government — the archenemy of personal freedom." We are delighted to see him out of prison, although certainly disappointed that he had plead guilty to a crime he did not commit. * The case against Assange is a sham, and it was motivated by the US Intelligence Community and the DOJ. * Once Julian reaches Australia, he should denounce the governments that persecuted him and renounce his own guilty plea since he has committed no crime. Then, he should resume WikiLeaks revelations! * ‘Draft Notice' from the Shop of Horrors - Dennis Kucinich - LewRockwell.com * "The coming wars are not patriotic. They are the result of the abject failure of political leadership and a long trail of lies stretching back decades." * We are constantly being fed a false narrative to condition us to take positions in support of US taxpayer dollars and materiel shipped to other lands for fabricated wars which leave us insecure, financially weak and morally bankrupt. "We saw this with Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and now with wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East." * almost nothing in government happens by accident. If Congress approves this measure where all men 18 to 26 are automatically registered with the Selective Service, then you can pretty well bet the draft will be reinstated. And that could spell death and disaster for a large percentage of our young men and possibly women. We must not let that happen!

Tom welcomes back to the show, Christopher Aaron to discuss the markets and current geopolitical instability. Although gold prices saw a spike due to recent events between Iran and Israel, they gave back most of the gains shortly after. Christopher emphasizes the importance of considering historical data and long-term trends when analyzing gold price movements. Chris discusses how the Dow Jones and gold have been trading in lockstep due to the preoccupation with Fed policy. They note that during past bull markets, average investors shifted funds from stock indexes into gold or silver when they underperformed. However, the current cycle shows a flat Dow to gold ratio for the last eight years, suggesting mainstream investors are yet to enter the precious metals sector. The potential implications of this situation and its impact on future market performance are emphasized. Despite gold ETFs losing gold holdings as mainstream investors sell their shares even during price surges, they predict gold should come back to retest its recent highs before experiencing a multi-year trend of significant new highs. Christopher shares his insights from the 2008 financial crisis and how he now prioritizes price data over fundamental analysis. They also touch upon historical gold price trends, including how gold always retests breakout points after significant price increases. Christopher discusses the potential catalyst for the Federal Reserve to shift from its hawkish stance being a global or regional war. He suggests that higher interest rates may lead to higher commodity prices and emphasizes the need for markets to reconsider their current beliefs. The conversation then shifts to silver, which has broken its downward trend but faces significant resistance at $30 per ounce. Christopher is skeptical about silver's potential return as a full-time monetary metal in perpetuity but acknowledges the possibility during periods of financial instability. Chris emphasizes the importance of being aware and prepared amidst current turbulent times while also encouraging listeners not to stop living their lives.

Sheriff Uploads Dominion Emails to X citing Constitutional Election Crisis Detroit Free Press, “A new social media account using the name and photo of Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf released Sunday more than 2,100 pages of emails from employees of Dominion Voting Systems as the company maintained Leaf got improper access to internal messages through the breach of a court order.” Interesting email of Dominion IP address concerns of Serbian contractor / employee. Why Pro Voter Integrity Lawyer gets Arrested by US Marshals From CNN, “Lambert, Leaf and Byrne have claimed in court filings and public statements that the documents they disclosed contain evidence that Serbian nationals meddled in the 2020 election at Dominion's request. “As has been public for years, Dominion has a small staff presence in Serbia, but any allegation that Dominion employees anywhere tried to interfere with any election is flatly false,” a Dominion spokesperson told CNN after the hearing. During the hearing, Lambert admitted that she gave the materials to Leaf, though she said she was allowed to because she was reporting a crime to “law enforcement.” She also called on Congress to investigate her claim that “foreign nationals” interfered with the 2020 election, which the US Intelligence Community has said was the most secure ever. “I did turn the documents over to law enforcement,” Lambert told the judge.” Remember: • Government runs the drugs • CDC and FED RES bank are private • CIA Hammer and Scorecard to overthrow elections • We the people should be able to audit elections anytime, anywhere

When South Dakota's governor Kristi Noem signed an executive order in 2022 to ban use of the Tik Tok app on government devices, the political left cried foul. Now they are colluding with the political right, which is clearly filled with naive suckers and illiterate fools, to advance just such a bill federally. In fact, the legislation would give sweeping authority for the President to effectively shut down anything associated with or in league with a foreign nation. Definitions otherwise are open to interoperation. All this heat comes on the heels of the Annual Threat Assessment from the US Intelligence Community, which warned how Tik Tok has been, and will be, used to interfere in elections. Therefore, if anyone is opposed to such a bill, they must be in favor of China influencing our upcoming election. Here we go again. This is the same political maneuvering and grandstanding attempted with the border security bill that actually legalized millions of illegals and pumped billions into Ukraine, among other things, while ignoring existing laws that remain unenforced. Anyone opposed didn't want to secure the border, apparently. Why the executive provision in the bill isn't rewritten or removed, and TiK Tok still banned, is another question that may get to the real heart of why the House vote was bipartisan at 352-65.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

According to the annual "Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community" published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in February, it was concluded that the CCP will persist in its endeavors to fulfill President Xi Jinping's vision of positioning China as the foremost power in East Asia and a significant player on the global stage. As Xi embarks on his third term as China's leader, the CCP will strive to exert pressure on Taiwan for unification, diminish US influence, create divisions between Washington and its allies, and promote norms that align with its authoritarian system.

Tom welcomes back to the show, Christopher Aaron to discuss his perspective on the markets. Gold and miners have seen an extreme lack of sentiment leading to prices down fifty plus percent for major companies, and even worse for exploration companies. This largely is a product of psychology and current price action, with investors waiting for a potential catalyst to decide where gold is headed. Chris explains his approach to metals markets, noting it's important that investing should not be focused on fundamentals alone, since they can lead to blinders when markets do not perform the way expected. He uses charts to demonstrate the flat Dow-Gold ratio in the past few years, signalling that we have entered an uncharted area with regards to freely traded gold. An impulsive move is likely to occur in the coming months in favor of either stocks or gold. Christopher also talks about possible technological advancements, as well as his expectations for gold's movement in the next one to two years.

Jorhena spent 8 years in the FBI as an Intelligence Analyst.  What You'll Learn Intelligence What makes a great analyst Her thoughts on the “Intelligence Cycle” The Robert Levinson case  How the FBI adapted after 9/11 Reflections Teamwork and collaboration  The importance of education Episode Notes Andrew is joined by Jorhena Thomas: educator, mentor, and analysis extraordinaire. It was a pleasure to have Jorhena in the studio to discuss to her career, which began at the Federal Bureau of Investigation where she served as an intelligence analyst for 8 years. She moved on to work at the Washington D.C. Fusion Center, the District of Columbia Deputy Mayor's Office, and in private consulting. She currently lectures at both American University and Georgetown University, and serves as the Director of Mentorship and Professional Advancement at Girl Security. And…  Women make up 59% (more than half!) of the FBI's Intelligence Analysis workforce.

SpyCast is proud to highlight Jorhena's work with Girl Security, supporting, mentoring, and training the next generations of women in intelligence.  Quotes of the Week “All my time with the FBI really gave me an appreciation for partnerships, and understanding everyone has a role to play. And if you respect what they do and they respect what you do, then you can really get some good work done. And I think sometimes people look down on others who don't do what they do.

Today's show starts with the arrest of an Israeli professor in Cypress. Gal Luft is charged on suspicion of being an arms dealer to China and Libya. Why am I opening with this story? Because the sub headline to the story adds -- Gal Luft rejected the accusations leveled against him and claimed he was arrested in relation to Hunter Biden's criminal investigation. It seems there is another layer to the Hunter Biden story and the Biden regime may be doing all it can to silence those with evidence of their wrongdoings. Miranda Divine, reporter for the New York Post, weighs in on this and says there are far too many corroborating details to just ignore. We now combine that story with even more detail over the letter signed by 51 members or ex-members of the US Intelligence Community regarding the Hunter Biden laptop. The more we dig, the more we see the Biden campaign was behind that letter. If we want to get into a discussion over presidential election interference, what more do you need? If we can impeach a president on an edited rumor over a phone call, I'd like to think the Biden Crime Family has a lot more evidence of to pursue than that! Next, I bring you some of the highlights of the first hour of my filling in for the nationally syndicated Erick Erickson Show. That topic relates to the new Biden Rule going into effect on May1. Starting them, folks with good credit scores will have to pay a higher price to help subsidize the loans of those will lesser credit. You heard that correctly. Your good credit is now going to be as a reason to penalize you financially so someone with a bad rating can be rewarded. This is the problem with the word equity versus equality. While the latter is all about giving you a fair chance to do the right thing, the former actually rewards you for not. Equity strives for sameness and Democrats are saying it's not fair for someone who was financially responsible to get a lower interest rate than someone who was irresponsible. That's equity. And you cannot get any more backward and divisive than that! Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Tom welcomes back to the show, Christopher Aaron. He discusses his new analysis that he recently discussed at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. He discusses the history of gold and miners over the past few years. We've seen a period of consolidation of the last couple of years, but that is shifting. In September, we didn't see a wash-out in the metals after a breakdown. Instead, we went above the 1650 level. Buyers started to move into the market, which was different behavior than what we have seen. The big picture is we have seen a false breakdown that doesn't carry through. Numerous shorts had to cover following that event. The key takeaway is a false breakdown is a signal for a move in the opposite direction. The big picture is this market should now be biased to the upside. He expects a good end to the year for gold. He believes the next rally towards the 2000 level will be successful. The first sign will be that the monthly close will prelude a breakout to new all-time highs. He provides some targets for where gold should reach. Chris discusses what is realistic for silver markets in the coming couple of years. Eventually, when we reach the $45 dollar level, investors may want to take some profits. It probably won't blast through it right away. He discusses some of the industrial demand factors for silver. He believes that inflation will plateau around the 4.5% range, and later it may rise higher. This is not what markets are expecting. Valuations for miners are quite low, and the price for reserves in the ground is quite low. We're looking at 5x to 10x lower valuations than ten years ago. He notes that sentiment remains quite low in the miners and metals. Only very prudent investors are moving into metals. He notes there are those who like to keep the population in a state of fear and concern. They like the state of perpetual war, and fiat currency is what permits this behavior. They want to keep people on the taxation and inflation treadmill. We need a system that prevents government from spending beyond its means. What is important to keep in mind is that society in many ways is progressing. Despite the bad things, there is a lot of potential, and it's important to keep space for possibility and optimism.

Neil Wiley has lead some of the US Intelligence Community's most important analytical functions. His career in intelligence began as a Naval Intelligence Officer in an operational intelligence center focused on support to critical operational naval missions. He would later serve joint intelligence missions in Europe, would rise to lead all analytical activities at the Defense Intelligence Agency and in DoD Combatant Commands, and would later serve as the Chairman of the famed National Intelligence Council (NIC). Also served as a senior leader at ODNI, including leading the entire intelligence community as the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence from May 13, 2020 until February 2021. In this OODAcast we learn some of what made Neil tick, diving into his education, his early career intent, the role of serendipity in helping him transition to the intelligence community, and his approach to leadership and management. We also dive into big issues of optimizing intelligence including ways organizations can help guard against cognitive bias. Neil provides insights into his approaches to: – Training analytical methods and understanding which methods should be applied to which situations – Ways to teach analysts to spot their own cognitive bias and seek to mitigate, and ways to use the benefits of teams to help spot and mitigate analytical flaws – Ways to avoid deception by adversaries – Methods that can improve mental models – The mission of the National Intelligence Council and its key products, including those available to the public – Ways to find balance between the need to serve policy makers and military leaders without being captured by and influenced in appropriately by them – The role of the ODNI, what it is and what it should be – The thesis that the US is about to enter and age of abundance and what this means for the US and the world – What CEOs need to know about geopolitical risk

Twitter was turned into a cutout for the US Intelligence Community to create and amplify preferred narratives, while crushing others. The company had a direct line to a San Francisco-based FBI agent named Elvis Chan. Julie Kelly at American Greatness has more: According to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt against numerous government agencies and officials for conspiring with media companies to silence free speech, Chan was one of two FBI agents who urged Facebook officials to censor content related to Hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020 election. “Pursuant to the third-party subpoena, Meta [Facebook's parent company] has identified—Elvis Chan as involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,” Schmitt wrote. (The other agent was Laura Dehmlow, a section chief for the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force, another politically-motivated operation created by FBI Director Christopher Wray in 2017.) Both Chan and Dehmlow are defendants in the lawsuit. Mark Zuckerberg repeatedly has admitted that FBI agents warned Facebook officials to be on “high alert” for a “dump” of news that could be the result of foreign actors attempting to interfere in the 2020 election; the news dump that followed was the New York Post's explosive reporting on the laptop, just weeks before Election Day. The company immediately announced it would reduce visibility of the Post's articles until “fact checkers” could verify it was not the work of a foreign interference campaign. Twitter locked the Post's account for two weeks and blocked users from sharing articles, flagging the links as “potentially harmful.” The primary conduit between Big Tech oligarchs and the FBI appears to be Chan. Schmitt's lawsuit accuses Chan of playing a “critical role for FBI—in coordinating with social-media platforms relating to censorship and suppression of speech on their platforms.”      Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Today's episode I'm talking with Patrick Campbell, founder & CEO of ProfitWell. Today's conversation is going to be all about pricing, particularly, how you price your product during this kind of recessionary environment that we're in. We'll talk about whether or not we're actually in a recession. We're going to have a specific emphasis on SaaS products, software as a service, because Patrick specializes in that, but if you're not in SaaS, there will be tons of applications, gems, takeaways that you can apply to your business. This conversation is value packed, like Patricks framework for communicating pricing changes to your customers and how frequently you should be making those price adjustments. ProfitWell was recently acquired by Paddle and we'll talk about the acquisition in this episode too. So what does ProfitWell do? It is a software for helping subscription companies with their monetization and retention strategies. We've been using it for years and years and years. In fact, I have ProfitWell t-shirts that I still wear all the time. I feel like it's almost a t-shirt of my own company because I just look at my ProfitWell dashboards and metrics all the time. It feels like an internal tool. That's how much I love ProfitWell. Prior to ProfitWell, Patrick led strategic initiatives for Boston-based Gemvara and he was an economist at Google and with the US Intelligence Community. So super smart guy. Patrick, so glad to have you here. This conversation was recorded during one of our Organize Chaos Livestreams. Follow me on LinkedIn so you don't miss announcements for our next livestream!

Climate change and its effects are increasingly recognized as important subjects of national security research and analysis. Few issues of international political economy or international security avoid some intersection with warming global temperatures, evolving environments for human habitation, and/or changing geography.Erin Sikorsky has been studying these and related issues for decades, first within the US Intelligence Community and now at the Center for Climate and Security. David Priess had a wide ranging conversation with Erin about her career in government and beyond, how intelligence officers look at climate, a method of categorizing climate risk, how NATO is tackling climate-related issues, the missed opportunity to emphasize renewables over fossil fuels after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the Climate Security Advisory Group, increasingly bipartisan support for climate security action, the roles of the public and Hollywood in addressing climate change, how various movies and books have examined these issues, and more.Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.
