On January 1st, 2025, the United States suffered the worst terror attacks in recent memory.

At 3.30 in the morning, a former U.S. Army HR and IT specialist mowed down 15 people in New Orleans.

The truck, the Ford Lightning, he was driving, flew an ISIS flag.

Then only a few hours later, a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device exploded outside

Trump Tower in Las Vegas. Thankfully, there were no casualties. Today, we have two experts on

national security, Kyle Serafin and George Hill. Why don't you guys go ahead and introduce

yourself? Kyle, I want you to go ahead and give people a little background information. Sure,

Phil. So I'm a former FBI agent. I work from the FBI of 2016 to 2023, I think is what they

consider it. I spend time working counterintelligence, spend time working on the counterterrorism threat.

And now I am an FBI whistleblower, so I have no

job there anymore, but I do run a podcast. And so that's what I do for a living. We like whistleblowers.

George. So I'm a retired FBI supervisor intelligence analyst. Got sucked into this vortex

with all the post-January 6th shenanigans. But I did 13 years active duty

Marine Corps, multiple deployments there during the height of the Cold War. Was fat, dumb, and happy

on September 11th, 2001, also a Navy reservist at that time. I'm a trained interrogator, so did multiple deployments

with the Navy in that capacity, post 9-11. In 2005, was recruited by the National Security Agency

where I became their very first pursuit leader, where I did find, fix, finish operations for them.

And life intervened, wound up working for the FBI in 2010 as the National Security Intelligence Supervisor for the Boston Field Office,

where I had counterterrorism, cyber, and counterintelligence. In my spare time for two years, I was also the co-supervisor for the Boston Marathon Bombing Task Force.

And yeah, I've had a very interesting ride, most of which was not by my choosing.

There's a lot of history and experience there.

Thank you guys for joining us.
