United States Senate candidate for Michigan, Mike Rogers, served in the United States House of Representatives from 2001 until 2015. In 2011, Mike was named Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. In 2012, just one year after assuming this role, Mike warned that Chinese technology companies Huawei and ZTE posed a national security threat.
The Intelligence Committee's report concluded that these tech companies were serving as arms of the Chinese government, had stolen trade secrets from American corporations, and could potentially spy on American citizens. It's worth noting other findings remain classified out of national security concerns.
What were these technology based threats and do they exist today? Is America prepared for an onslaught of international cyber attacks? How can U.S. ingenuity lead us towards victory in the world's AI war?
In this insightful episode, host Marc interviews Senate candidate Mike Rogers to discuss various issues impacting American society today. They explore the significance of family as the foundation of society, Michigan families' economic struggles, and the critical state of public education. Rogers emphasizes the importance of helping individuals achieve literacy to empower themselves economically and socially.
The conversation shifts to national security, diving into Rogers' investigations into Chinese tech companies' threats during his time as House Intelligence Committee Chair. The discussion also covers the current and future role of AI in cybersecurity, military applications, and the impact of overregulation on innovation.

So what's the risk? Aren't influencers implementing legacy media's tried and true fact-checking methodology? Can't we trust influencers? Is the news we consume on X, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram trustworthy?
