How is there no civilian right of action with treble damages in civil court against either the recipient of the aid when Rudy Giuliani is paying his tax dollars for the State Department to hand it over to the group that writes hit pieces on him to get him acquitted?
To get him not only humiliated, but to help all the adjacent reputational destruction that makes it easier to indict him on related charges. So we need a sort of Smith month for financing and operations for U.S. aid. Also for the adjacent ones. DOD should be subject to this law, state, CIA. But aid is the most obvious one because...
These are public grants, and this is supposed to be humanitarian work. It's the last place you'd see coming to get socked in your own eyeball by the government you voted for. So that civil penalty can take the form of suing the grantee, but maybe you should also be able to sue the agency itself.
You can sue the FBI for wrongful death if something they do is through gross negligence or otherwise results in the death of your family member or something. This is something that The famous Jesse Trinidou case of the Oklahoma City bombing. That can be done. What if USAID had to worry for its own budget if it failed in oversight to catch one of its grantees?
And you could sue USAID if one of USAID's grantees broke that firewall. Well, USAID has to fight for its life in the budget every year just like everybody else does. And
And if they had their own budgets mortally threatened and they need to decide whether or not to plan the overthrow of a government in Central Asia because it wouldn't have enough capital to pull it off because they're targeting a U.S. citizen in Tanzania. The whole thing gets chilled. But you need these reforms at every layer. You understand?
Mic Drop, hosted by former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland. It's raw.
It's tough talk from the top minds in their field.
Mic Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform.
Thanks. Thanks for having me, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, over a year now.
I'm going to eat some now, man.
I'll see if I can not eat these by the end of the show. Good luck. Nice. Those are good.
asking, just ask them, ask them for access. Granted, you got to kind of cloak it a little bit, but you pretend to be somebody you're not. And for instance, like I'm your IT department, I'm your HR. You call them up, you email them and you say, I need you to do a thing real quick. And that process will generally have them maybe entering their password, for instance.
except it's into something you control. And at that point, you've got their password. That is a method that is still heavily used and constantly works.
Oh, yeah.
That is the go-to. You can walk into a building, but why do that when you can just ask from halfway across the world? Most companies, you'll still be able to walk in and do all that stuff. It's just not worth the risk unless they've got that level of security locked down where it's like, okay, you can ask anybody in the company for their password.
They can give it to you, but you can't do anything with it because we've got two-factor turned on or stuff like that. different security controls and detections that suddenly requires physical access. You have to take more risks to do that. It's a lot more skill, a lot more work to make happen.
Oh, shit.
