| 9/8/26 |  Should Flock Cameras Be Banned? | Charles Fain Lehman | Flock cameras are spreading across America – and so is the bipartisan backlash over privacy, government surveillance, and police abuse. Manhattan Institute's Charles Fain Lehman returns for a conversation about Flock cameras and whether the growing calls to ban them are justified. How does the technology actually work? How are police departments using it to solve crimes and track suspects? What safeguards exist to prevent abuse? And where does the use of Flock cameras cross the line from effective law enforcement into an unconstitutional surveillance state? Charles Fain Lehman is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and senior editor of City Journal. He focuses primarily on the public policy of antisocial behavior, including issues of crime, drugs, and public disorder.

| 9/1/26 |  What America Is Learning From Drone Warfare | Jeff Wright | Autonomous warfare demands the United States redefines air superiority in the 21st century. Jeff Wright, the founder and CEO of SplashOne Robotics, joins Rep. Crenshaw to explore the future of drone warfare, autonomous weapons, AI targeting, counter-drone defense, and the growing military competition with China. They break down lessons from Ukraine, China's dominance of the drone supply chain, vulnerabilities in America's critical infrastructure, the Pentagon's struggle to adopt emerging technology, the defense of Taiwan, and why reusable autonomous fighter drones could become the next evolution of air superiority. Wright also makes the case that AI-powered weapons may ultimately make warfare more precise – and more humane – by protecting civilians and keeping American servicemembers out of unnecessary danger. Jeff Wright is the founder and CEO of SplashOne Robotics and a 21-year Marine Corps and Air Force veteran. | 50m 39s | ||||||
| 8/4/26 |  Why America Can't Build Weapons Fast Enough | Dr. Seth Jones | The war with Iran is putting renewed attention on a critical national security question: does America's defense industrial base have the capacity and resilience needed for a larger conflict with China or Russia? Defense expert Dr. Seth Jones joins Rep. Crenshaw to discuss why America struggles to build weapons fast enough and what policies could strengthen our military edge. They also discuss lessons from the war in Ukraine, the most likely scenarios as China ramps up pressure on Taiwan, and the number one threat to the homeland that most people are ignoring: drone attacks. Seth G. Jones is president of the Defense and Security Department and Harold Brown Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
