I'm Isabella Royal, Internate Lawfare, with an episode from the Lawfare

for December 27, 2025.

Every year, Lawfare hosts an Ask Us Anything podcast, where you write in with your questions and

lawfare editors and contributors answer them.

For 2025, Ask Us Anything, will run within the next few weeks.

For today's archive, I chose the Ask Us Anything podcast from last year, which originally

played on January 2, 2025.

In it, Benjamin Wittes, Quinta Juresec, Eugenia Lostri,

Scott R. Anderson, and other Lawfare editors and contributors address readers and listeners' questions

on presidential pardons, the risks and promise of artificial intelligence, the prospect

of domestically deploying the U.S. military and more.

It's the Lawfare podcast. I'm Anna Hickey, associate editor of communications at Lawfare.

military, the risks of AI, presidential pardons for Jan Sixers, and so much more.

Hi guys. I'm Elijah, and I'm a longtime listener from the Bay Area. I find myself surrounded by a lot

considered existential, do you think they fall under Lawfair's

national security ambit?
