A little variation on the theme of border security. With shall we say a porous border for the last 3+ years, how close do you think we are to a terrorist event or at least an attempted attack? That said, what does your gut tell you about the influx of Chinese coming across the border? Since nothing happens to a Chinese asset without CCP approval, do you think China is creating a shadow army in the US, as some type of physical presence or at a minimum an intelligence gathering and cyber threat to our infrastructure? On a lighter note are you able to confirm the interweb rumor that you are the son of Race Bannon and Jade? Thanks for all the great daily insights. Chuck form PA
Hello Mike! First off, love the pod, can't beat the straight talk and your pragmatic analysis. My question could be me folding up my tin foil hat ready for wear, or maybe not! In your opinion, do you think that the current major world issues could be a concerted effort by China, Russia & Iran against the US to diminish its worldwide influence? Jack - Adelaide, AU
Thanks again for the very helpful podcast! What are some possible solutions to the violence happening during election season in Mexico? If not addressed, I'm sure this will deter future candidates from running. Also, how are your boys doing? Stay Gold Ponyboy!
Hey Mike, Mike from Melbourne here. I jumped on the PDB after hearing you on Joe Rogan - love the short format, focussed daily insights on what's happening in this 'interesting' time. Been listening to your back catalogue on Rogan, had to do a double take at ep #1001 21 August 2017 - specifically 2:04 "it's not gonna be the North Koreans firing off a missile or whatever, it's gonna be a pandemic, something that we didn't quite see coming, a mutation of a disease or something...that would suck'. In your recent AMA, #5 of your biggest security concerns was 'gaming out where the next pandemic will spring from and what it may look like". No specific question from me except come on Mike, not again!
