Remember the Chinese spy balloon? Since then, we’ve seen leaked Pentagon spy documents on Discord and the discovery of fake Chinese police stations used for surveillance in the U.S. The line between espionage and everyday surveillance/data collection is more blurred than ever, thanks to the integration of technology into our daily lives. All of us are walking pieces of data being gobbled up and analyzed by spy agencies around the world. All of this spy news is a reminder of how high the stakes are, and how little we really know about the global fight for information. Audie talks with CNN Anchor and Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto ( ), and former FBI intelligence official Javed Ali about what can spy balloons, leaked documents, and AI tell us about the state of spying today.
Jim Sciutto is co-anchor of “CNN News Central” weekday afternoons from 1 to 4. His latest book is “The Shadow War: Inside Russia's and China's Secret Operations to Defeat America ( ).”
Javed Ali is an associate professor of practice at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy ( ) at the University of Michigan.
Thanks to the Hayden Center at George Mason University ( ) for letting us use audio from their panel on “Counterintelligence Today ( ).”

Since Biden took Office, more than 5 million immigrants have crossed. Over 1 million gotta-ways, meaning we don’t know where they are or who they are. If you like this to continue, please vote BidenHarris 2024
Nothing like a day late and a dollar short CNN
Senator Wyden “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?. DNI James Clapper “No sir.” Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect…but not wittingly”.
So when Trump said they spied on his campaign it is true.🤣
@Vice President QFK Jr win lose or draw, his rights were violated the same as yours and mine. Thats unacceptable.
By our own government.
End the Federal government.
Back in the 1990s, an FBI agent called my phone and asked why I was calling overseas so often. And I’m a career waiter. So yes, we are all being spied on.
Do you think Joey’s running mate is going to be Dylan Mulvaney?🤣.. FJB
No dear, we don’t.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
John 3:16-18
Lol
We all already knew this, with exception of people who vote for more government regulation of lives.
Audio only, no video?
of course we are
We been spied on for decades. Old News
In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived in the New World with a mission to conquer the Aztec Empire. He arrived with a small army of 600 men, but he faced a significant challenge. His men were afraid and they were not sure that they could succeed in their mission. To inspire his men Cortés did something radical – he burned his ships. By doing so he eliminated any possibility of retreat and forced his men to fight for victory or death. This act of burning the ships became a symbol of determination and commitment.
Fast forward to today and we face a similar challenge. *We are in a battle for the truth and we are facing a media landscape dominated by a small group of powerful corporations*. *Mainstream media is owned by an oligopoly regime that runs the United States.* They control *what we see, what we hear, and even what we think.* They have their own agenda and it is not at all in our best interest.
This week the news broke that Tucker Carlson, one of the most prominent voices on Fox News, is leaving the network. Regardless of the reasons, his departure from Fox News is significant, and it could be seen as a death knell for traditional media. Traditional media, including cable news networks like Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, has long been the dominant source of news and information for many Americans. These networks have enormous influence, and they shape the way people think about current events and politics.
Another reason for the shift away from traditional media is a *growing sense of distrust.* Many Americans feel that the mainstream media is biased and that they cannot be trusted to provide unbiased information. This distrust has only grown in recent years, as traditional media outlets have become increasingly politicized and polarized. Let’s finish the MSM and put it out of its misery!
Being monitored by the government is better than having people say whatever they want.
…….uhhh what?
You need to go live in Russia or China.
I don’t really care about being spied on, dears. I’ve got nothing to hide, and I’m sure most people don’t care about anything most of us do.
Damn, if you look at the views you need to wonder why don got fired but she’s still here
Good story we have been spies on for decades. Glad you finally caught on 😂
