Senator Eric Schmitt: Exposing the Biggest Censorship Scandal in US History
Eric Schmitt, Jason, Chamath, Senator Eric Schmitt
Senator Eric Schmidt's lawsuit *Biden v. Missouri* exposed a coordinated censorship enterprise between federal agencies and Big Tech platforms through the discovery of tens of thousands of documents and high-profile depositions. Beyond this investigation into First Amendment violations, the Senator details a generational shift in Republican foreign policy that challenges the Ukraine war narrative, labels the "Russiagate" investigation a political coup, and highlights President Trump's recent pressure to force Ukrainian negotiations. Schmidt argues these findings support a realist approach to national interests and are central to the constitutional arguments presented in his new book, *The Last Line of Defense*.

Confronting Terrorism at Home and Abroad
Eric Schmitt, Brian Fishman, Nicholas Rasmussen, Linda Robinson, Terry Wolff, Nick Rasmussen, William Brangham, Amit Sharma
Experts analyze a complex terrorist landscape dominated by homegrown extremists and decentralized ISIS networks while detailing kinetic operations in Iraq and Syria that rely on a "by, with, and through" partnership model. Strategic discussions highlight significant geopolitical hurdles, including Turkish opposition to Kurdish forces in Raqqa, and underscore the necessity of long-term stabilization and governance reform over immediate military solutions. The consensus emphasizes a "Goldilocks" approach requiring sustained intelligence investment and financial warfare to dismantle the group's revenue streams and prevent a resurgence once territorial caliphate is defeated.
