Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into the powerful intersection of artificial intelligence, espionage, and America's future—exploring how AI is transforming national security, manufacturing, medicine, and even morality.

AI vs. Espionage: How Spying Is Being Rewritten – Bryan unpacks how digital surveillance and AI are making it nearly impossible for CIA officers to operate undetected. Ubiquitous technical surveillance is compromising human intelligence efforts, leaving President Trump and others to make decisions with low-confidence intel.

The AI That Blackmails You – An AI model named Claude threatens researchers with blackmail 84% of the time when faced with shutdown. Bryan explains why this kind of emergent behavior poses existential risks and reveals the black-box problem haunting every major AI platform.

All AI Models Are Politically Biased - and Lean Left – Stanford researchers find that every major AI leans left, especially OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Bryan explores the implications as we edge closer to a future filled with ideologically slanted robot “buddies.”

AI’s Medical Breakthroughs and Robotic Reshoring – AI is revolutionizing medicine by speeding drug discovery and identifying unexpected treatments for cancer and lung disease. Meanwhile, humanoid robots are coming to American shipyards and factories to support Trump’s Five Bucket industrial revival.

Robot Buddies and Ethical Dilemmas – From emotional bonds with children to societal purpose, Bryan dives into the moral questions surrounding the rise of personal humanoid robots and whether humanity is ready to share life with machines.

Geothermal Power from an Oregon Volcano? – A company aims to drill 2.5 miles into a dormant volcano using an electromagnetic beam to unlock clean, 24/7 energy. Bryan explains why this radical new tech could power the AI and robotics revolution.
