    Words Matter: The New Acronym to Remember the Great Lakes is S-H-A-M-E

    Donald Trump just signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. This, of course, gives us a fitting new acronym to remember the names of the Great Lakes: S-H-A-M-E. But it also comes amidst an intensifying, nonsensical trade war with Canada that will have serious economic consequences for millions of Americans. And all this for what? Norm Ornstein and David Rothkopf are back to discuss the administration’s trade war with Canada, the current situation with Iran, and the political landscape as we inch closer to the midterm elections.

    Siliconsciousness: The Unabomber, Replacement Theory and the Crazy Evolving Politics of AI

    Politics makes strange bedfellows, and AI is making things stranger still. AI data centers are just one of the many ways that artificial intelligence and its by products are taking an increasingly large role in American politics at every level and creating new and bizarre alliances even among traditionally opposing factions. WIRED’s Molly Taft joins David Rothkopf to examine the rapid evolution of our politics — and why things are only getting weirder.

    What Comes After Pentagon Pete Wrecks the Defense Department?

    The Defense Department is in a crisis unlike we’ve ever seen before. America’s munitions stocks have been decimated and our military competence has been wrecked by the Trump administration. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth will leave the Pentagon in a state of rubble when all is said and done - will that give us an opportunity for real, transformative change in our defense policy? What would a competent DoD look like in the future? Sharon Weinberger joins David Rothkopf and Rosa Brooks to discuss the state of US defense policy, how big tech is redefining war, and where we go from here. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

    Need to Know: Waking Up to America’s National Defense Crisis

    Donald Trump and his allies have made American defense weak. From the disastrous handling of the war with Iran to the abandonment of staunch allies in favor of despots, it’s clearer by the day that security is not the priority of this administration. Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh joins David Rothkopf to analyze what makes this national defense crisis so startling and why America needs to prepare for future crises.

    Words Matter: No, No, Norm, It’s Much Worse Than That

    The “Big Beautiful Bill” is certainly big, but it is the opposite of beautiful. The bill includes a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, which have been postponed until after the midterm elections. Take these social service cuts alongside skyrocketing national debt, looming bond market issues, and a potential ballooning defense budget - and yet the situation is still somehow worse than that. Join Norm Ornstein and David Rothkopf as they discuss the chilling implications of Medicaid cuts and the broader impact on healthcare and the economy. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

    The Daily Blast: Trump Aides Unnerved by Natalie Harp Mess as Ossoff Takedown Hits Home

    The White House and MAGA exploded in fury after Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff pointed out during a speech that Donald Trump loves to “travel with Natalie” on the presidential jet. “Natalie,” of course, is Natalie Harp, the young aide whom Trump relies on heavily for emotional support and basically controls information flows to him. Yet despite all the fake MAGA outrage, Semafor reports that in fact, Trump’s own aides are “unnerved” by their closeness. That shows Ossoff is forcing a much-needed conversation over Trump’s sunsetting and the informational bubble he resides in daily. We talked to Paul Waldman, who wrote about this saga on his Substack, The Cross Section. We discuss how Ossoff stripped bare the realities of Trump’s sunsetting, why this is what actually got MAGA so furious, why this shows Democrats should make the midterms about Trump, and what it all says about how Democrats should fight the information wars.

    Siliconsciousness: The US and China Need to Have a Serious Conversation About AI

    Why can’t the US and China just get along when it comes to artificial intelligence? As the two nations jockey for an edge in AI, President’s Trump and Xi prepare for a consequential summit where the tech race may play a bigger role than ever. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace’s Scott Singer joins David Rothkopf to discuss why in the race for AI dominance between China the US, the best way to win might just be to work together.
