This episode argues that media outrage over a White House “autopen” joke and criticism of Trump’s summit with Xi Jinping obscures a deeper shift: Trump is dismantling a 50-year geopolitical framework associated with Henry Kissinger. It contrasts Chatham House’s “China Rising, America in Decline?” panel and its Thucydides Trap framing—linked to Graham Allison—with Xi’s evolution from posing the trap as an open question to asserting it “can be overcome” after Trump’s UN speech and claimed actions in Iran, Venezuela, the Shield of America, and the Greenland Treaty, alongside a push for reindustrialization. The script also highlights a UN Board of Peace session on Gaza focused on reconstruction led by Gazans and a new security structure involving Muslim-country troops, presenting it as ending “outside forces” control. It notes Rubio’s permanent dual role as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor and frames his stance as reversing Kissinger’s legacy.
Drug Cartel Drones
… those skills back to Mexico.NEW: Drug cartels are rapidly advancing their drone capabilities — and U.S. officials are now concerned they could be learning from the battlefield.

There are reports cartel affiliates are being sent to the Russia-Ukraine war to gain battlefield experience — potentially bringing… pic.twitter.com/zIVWRGp3zd
A State Dept spokesperson saying, “The Department of State takes seriously reports of transnational criminal organizations’ growing use of drone technology and tracks the issue closely… The Department of State engages U.S. law enforcement and Ukrainian counterparts to adopt measures to mitigate the risk of battlefield skills transfer and apply lessons from Ukrainian counter-UAS experience to counter the cartel drone threat.”
In a statement, @CBP telling News Nation, “In fiscal year 2025, CBP detected over 42,000 near-border, unmanned drone flights. This fiscal year, detections have exceeded that number… Cartels use drones to conduct surveillance on U.S. law enforcement, to move illegal narcotics across the border into the United States, and to guide illegal aliens across the border. Inside Mexico, cartels use weaponized drones against rival cartels, law enforcement, and military personnel to evade arrest and capture. They continue to advance their drone technology and tactics, to conceal their movements and operations. President Trump’s executive orders and overall focus on cartels and air dominance has empowered CBP to combat and mitigate cartels’ use of drones. Additional technology resources have benefited border security operations. CBP continues to deploy multi-sensor capabilities on the border to increase detection and mitigation effectiveness.”

This Decision Is Final
… access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.
— Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (@SecWar) February 27, 2026
Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted…
Instead, Anthropic AI and its CEO Dario Amodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.
The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.
Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.
As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.
Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.
In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.
America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

They Now Describe Privileged Access to the President’s Plane as if the Constitution Itself Grants It
… intoxicated with their own imaginary self-importance, indulged and empowered by establishment judges like Tim Kelly, that they now describe privileged access to the president’s plane as if the Constitution itself grants it.CNN has no “duties” aboard Air Force One. It is a private company. It holds no public office, it wasn't elected to anything, it exercises no governmental authority, and it has no entitlement to a seat on the president’s airplane or anywhere else.

"… news outlet’s duties …"
CNN does not have DUTIES.
Soldiers have duties.
Police officers have duties.
EMT have duties.
Firefighters have duties.
What CNN has is a for-profit cable news network who rakes in billions in advertising revenue while endlessly lying about the decisions of a duly-elected President they hate.
It's a for-profit propaganda outlet, not some noble public servant.
The level of grossly inflated self-importance you "journalists" have is disgusting. Mafia lawyers and prostitutes have more integrity than your disgusting pseudo-profession.
Now beat it.
