We are watching multiple flashpoints light up at once, and the picture is not comforting. Start at our own southern border: in just the last six months of 2024, Customs and Border Protection tracked over 27,000 cartel drone incursions. Twenty-seven thousand. These aren’t hobbyists flying GoPros — these are sophisticated platforms moving drugs, scouting patrols, and testing our defenses. Then, just days ago, El Paso airspace was shut down on short notice with almost no explanation. Something serious enough to ground civilian traffic doesn’t happen by accident. In the Middle East as diplomatic talks with Iran drag on, the President has surged additional forces into the region — more troops, more ships, more aircraft. At the same time, Israeli officials are making it clear: any deal with Tehran has to include the complete dismantlement of their nuclear program and ballistic missile threat, or there will be no deal. Iran’s response? More proxies, more attacks, more defiance. And lurking in the background, as always, is China — watching, waiting, and almost certainly learning how we respond when multiple threats hit at once. America deserves the unfiltered truth about what’s happening, not spin from legacy media, not talking points from the Pentagon press room. That’s why I’m proud to bring on a man who has been on the front lines of both combat and independent journalism. My guest today is retired Special Operations pilot and CEO of CDM Press, L. Todd Wood. He’s part of the new Pentagon press corps that’s demanding answers and delivering real reporting to the American people
