Episode notes
INSIGHT

Missing Military Drones Raise Homeland Security Alarm

  • Four advanced Army reconnaissance drones disappeared from Fort Campbell in November and carry military sensors, thermal imaging, and AI navigation.
  • Beck and guests stress those systems can map infrastructure, operate autonomously, and have high black-market value and targeting capability.
INSIGHT

Autonomous Crypto Loaded Drones Multiply Risk

  • The stolen drones' AI autonomy and crypto loads let them navigate without GPS and operate in denied environments, making them useful for covert surveillance or attacks.
  • Army says no confirmed foreign link, but timing with Iran warnings and cyberattacks heightens concern.
ADVICE

Force Debate To Move The SAVE America Act

  • Use a prolonged talking-filibuster style debate to force senators to publicly defend positions and build pressure to pass the SAVE America Act.
  • Sen. Mike Lee urges lengthy floor debate (minimum two weeks) rather than immediate cloture to bring holdouts to negotiations.
