The episode features an in-depth interview with Colonel John Mills, a senior fellow and national security strategist, who provides insights into current security concerns, including drone threats, potential foreign interference, and election integrity issues. Colonel Mills highlights the vulnerabilities in U.S. defenses, particularly at military bases such as Hill Air Force Base and NAS Oceania, and discusses the implications of recent security breaches.
