Hackers, cyber terrorists and information warriors from Russia and around the world are taking shots at your election machines, your electrical grid, your hospital and your laptop. Right now, as the heat in America continues to rise, our enemies are strategically starting fires and adding gasoline all across the web. From your local election system, to your Facebook page, to the hospital you depend on for COVID care, to Donald Trump\u2019s iPhone. America\u2019s enemies are waging a complex and expansive war against you and everyone else in America as you read this. And it won\u2019t stop when the election is called. It will expand. The misinformation and cyber threats facing America have never been greater. And we\u2019ve never been more fragile. Independent host Paul Rieckhoff guides you through it&#8211;and breaks down the election results with a special focus on national security.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As cyber threats swirl all around us, our guest is a guardian on the watchtower: information warfare and Russian influence expert, Molly McKew. [21:50] McKew has traveled the world studying, analyzing and advising on the most urgent cybersecurity, misinformation and technology-based threats. An adjunct professor at Georgetown University\u2019s Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service, McKew teaches Russian hybrid warfare. She also serves on the board of the <a href=\"https:\/\/standuprepublic.com\/\">Stand Up Republic Foundation<\/a> as an advisor on countering disinformation, lead author of the <a href=\"https:\/\/defusingdis.info\/blog\/\"><em>Defusing Disinfo<\/em> blog<\/a>, and the creator of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatpower.us\/\"> Great Power<\/a>&#8211;a guide to asymmetric conflict like cyber, information, and economic warfare. McKew graduated from Stanford with a BA in Russian Language, History, and Culture, and the London School of Economics with an MSc in Russian\/Post-Soviet Studies. She was awarded the Order of Honor by the President of Georgia for her service in defense of Georgian democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The future is here. It\u2019s fascinating. And it\u2019s dangerous. McKew is a thoughtful, sharp, experienced voice to break down how attacks and bad actors are impacting our elections now. And how they might impact you and your family in the days to come. She\u2019s also got incredible stories from her journey\u2019s around the world, a special sword on her wall, and a fun favorite drink answer. It\u2019s a must-listen <em>Angry Americans<\/em> episode that will prepare you for the precarious days ahead after the most turbulent election ever.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not angry, you\u2019re not paying attention.
