Arsenal of Democracy

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow, Jonathan Ward, joins host Marshall Kosloff to preview the potential outcomes and impacts that a new administration, on either side, could have on the newly established China security consensus. However, Ward argues that this isn't just about politics. Leaders all across tech, banking and international business will have to decide what type of role they want to play, or have to play, to ensure the freedom of tomorrow's global economic landscape. 

Justin Fanelli, the first ever Acting Chief Technology Office (CTO) for the Department of the Navy, joins host Marshall Kosloff to explain why public and private partnerships should be cornerstone of America's defense innovation strategy. Finalli is striving to radically adopt innovation to disrupt and bolster our future defense capabilities, and with battlefield-defining technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum on the horizon, he argues that not only will private sector competition create better solutions but those solutions will pay dividends in sectors far beyond defense.  Show Notes:Accelerating Change Design Conceptshttps://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=16683https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=16716https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=17883https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?ID=16804 Atlantic Council Report: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/programs/scowcroft-center-for-strategy-and-security/forward-defense/defense-innovation-adoption-commission/Innovation Adoption Kit: https://www.peodigital.navy.mil/Portals/96/Documents/PDFs/PEODigital_Innovation_Adoption_v3.pdf Jobs STEM talent: https://noblereachfoundation.org/talent-opportunities/scholars-program/Direct employment: https://www.usajobs.gov/Reservists: https://www.marforres.marines.mil/MIU/ and https://gigeagle.mil/ 

America's colleges and universities are world-renowned for a reason. They are the best free spaces for teaching strong young minds to build the future we desire. But what if those universities aren't teaching those students to build the future that America desires? Gabe Scheinmann, Executive Director of the Alexander Hamilton Society, joins host Marshall Kosloff to detail why critical thinking and free speech are under attack on campuses, all the while the long tentacles of the Chinese Communist Party are leveraging influence throughout the troubled system. Scheinmann and Kosloff discuss how we right to ship to get our intellectual pipeline back in the camp of building a strong America. 

With wars occurring in Europe and the Middle East, and China asserting itself in the Indo-Pacific, energy security and national security have become synonymous. Moreover, power-hungry technology like artificial intelligence will fuel tomorrow’s Arsenal of Democracy, so secure and sufficient energy has become an issue too big to ignore. Bret Kugelmass, CEO of Last Energy, joins the show to explain why the answer is simple: nuclear power, but not in the giant form people have known for decades.
