Espionage, Borders, and America's Vulnerabilities
Former CIA officer Mike Baker joins Dr. Phil to expose China's long-game intelligence play from IP theft to border infiltration and land grabs near U.S. military sites. Dr. Phil talks with Mike Baker, host of The President's Daily Brief Podcast, former CIA covert ops officer, and cofounder of Portman Square Group to dissect the threats shaping America's future security. From China's long-horizon intelligence strategy and relentless intellectual property theft, to suspicious border crossings, cyber probing of U.S. infrastructure, and farmland acquisitions near military bases—this conversation connects the dots on a silent war unfolding in plain sight. Baker reveals how these moves aren't isolated incidents, but part of a systemic campaign to weaken America's resilience. Dr. Phil pushes the discussion further: What are the psychological effects of living under constant, invisible threats? Are Americans prepared mentally and structurally for disruption on this scale?
