from the show notes,
Waller explains how the Chinese Communist Party is racing to dominate AI by 2030, using intellectual property theft, influence operations, and psychological warfare to undermine American institutions from within. The discussion covers AI-driven espionage, Chinese industrial strategy, academic infiltration, TikTok-style data harvesting, and the risks of letting adversaries set global AI standards.
The episode also explores how Western complacency, libertarian blind spots, and the absence of a coherent national strategy have left the U.S. vulnerable—while China accelerates nuclear power development, robotics manufacturing, and AI-enabled influence campaigns.
20:02 The real issue with China is that there's no coherent national strategy. It's we'll arrest whatever spies we can arrest. The FBI can. I'm very critical of the FBI but they do a good job with the doctrine that they have in the resources that they have but if you have a multi-trillion dollar wholesale dollar wholesale theft of almost all of our technological development and Industrial Development billion dollar organization with a sliver of which is devoted to counterintelligence dealing with this for just being dealing with this because we're just being ripped off at every turn and we don't even realize it until long after it's happened even though we know that it's happening.
20:52. Before Reagan told Mr Gorbachev to tear down that wall there was so much behind the scenes leading up to it right you had Richard pipes and Condoleezza Rice essentially crafting this strategy to deal with the Soviet Union right they were de velopment they were developing this coherent strategy we need that Gathering of the brightest Minds on the subject behind the scenes I'm actually surprised given the fundamental understanding of the problem that the president seems to have that there isn't an effort going on.
21:27. I can't explain certain things that are happening I'm not even going to try very hard. If you look at his first term Trump 45 he had a coherent strategy on China for the most part he held the Chinese Communist Party accountable at least at least rhetorically for the China virus. Remember he called it that and it was the Chinese regime
