A report from Chinese state media claims that high-tech U.S. and British destroyers, including the USS Zumwalt and HMS Duncan, have been disabled by "Chinese killer chips." The report suggests that hardware vulnerabilities in Chinese-made microchips caused propulsion and electrical failures. The hosts discuss the risks of outsourcing military hardware production.

At the BRICS summit in Goa, India and Russia signed a $5 billion defense deal for S-400 anti-missile systems. The hosts contrast this with the U.S. Navy's troubled USS Zumwalt stealth destroyer, which is reportedly not seaworthy in high waves. Additionally, WikiLeaks emails reveal the Clinton Foundation receives millions in funding from Dutch and Swedish "postcode lotteries," which the hosts describe as an elite-sanctioned corruption scheme.
