Ep. 31 Fast isn’t Free: The Hidden Cost of Skipping Legitimacy
Speed feels powerful. Legitimacy is what actually lasts. In Episode 31, Sue and Eric break down why modern institutions are struggling: the world is moving faster than the systems designed to produce trust, accountability, and durable decisions. Through three headlines—the Supreme Court’s accelerating emergency docket, the FAA’s dramatic El Paso airspace shutdown tied to counter-drone tech, and the rise of corporate “green hushing” after climate regulatory whiplash—they show how action without explanation, sequencing, or coordination weakens the very structures that have to hold afterward. You’ll hear why explainability—not just speed—now determines insti...

Ep. 30 Trust Can't Be Borrowed: When Authority is Misapplied, It Doesn’t Reassure
"When trust is no longer institutionalized, we improvise it, and when legitimacy is no longer settled, then it's performed, and when neither is renewed, risk quietly accumulates." In this episode of Understandable Insights, Sue and Eric start with the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act—a foundational but unglamorous framework that keeps expiring because of congressional sloth, cyber has become partisan, or it "isn't shiny." Then they dig into the DNI's unusual presence at an FBI raid on Georgia's Fulton County election office, where Sue explains the authorities of the DNI. The episode closes with Cuba and Russia, examining how...

Ep. 29 Power Without Permission: Who Decides When Technology Governs Us All
When technology companies operate as economic engines, civic spaces, and geopolitical actors without the obligations that traditionally accompany that level of power, sovereignty itself begins to redistribute. In this episode, Sue and Eric examine the dangerous mismatch between capability and accountability as AI reaches what Anthropic's CEO calls "technological adolescence" and Sue calls powerful but not yet wise. From Russia poisoning AI training data to South Korea pioneering governance frameworks, they trace how decisions made at machine speed by private actors are reshaping markets, speech, security, and even war. The question, they argue, isn't whether technology is good or...

Ep. 28 Power, Precedent, and Accountability: Why Power Must Explain
Precedent is set by what we excuse, not what we celebrate.When power acts first and explains later, accountability erodes—and precedent takes hold. In this episode, Sue and Eric examine recent events in Minnesota, federal enforcement surges, and global reactions from Davos to assess what really matters beyond any single incident. The danger, they argue, isn’t one decision or one tragedy—it’s the pattern forming beneath them: pressure without restraint, authority without explanation, and leadership that mistakes justification for legitimacy.Looking outward, they explore how allies and adversaries interpret America’s internal signals, wh...

Ep. 27 Democracy Under Stress: Elections as Infrastructure, Conditional Acceptance, & Human Strength
In this episode we argue that elections are not only symbolic rituals—they are critical infrastructure with attack surfaces. The most consequential threat is seldom a hacked machine—in fact, our technical infrastructure is remarkably sound; it is the deliberate degradation of trust that makes acceptance of results optional. When acceptance becomes optional, the democratic bargain (and with it democratic stability) starts to fail—quietly, procedurally, and then suddenly.We examine a growing number of signals—from diminished investment by the federal government in maintaining technical resilience of our systems, conditional acceptance as strategy; federal and state tensions...

Ep. 26 Default to Trust–Why It’s Necessary, Signs We’re in Trouble
Free and open societies rely on a default to trust–a baseline assumption that institutions, experts, and alliances operate largely as advertised. This is not blind faith; it is a functional necessity that allows society to scale and people to live their lives.In this episode, we argue that today’s disquiet is not driven by any single leader or policy–though those are also problematic–but by the erosion of systems designed to provide legitimacy, restraint, and predictability in a fast, low-authority information environment. The most dangerous consequence is not any one decision, but the second-order effect...

Ep. 25: A Global Geopolitical Romp: Strategy, Scarcity, and a Question of Values
In this episode, Sue and Eric kick off the year with a look at geopolitical hotspots and assess that, in aggregate, US actions reveal the National Security Strategy for what it is—and isn’t.Assessing the Trump strategy as one of power, resources, and driven by their version of the “scarcity model”, they walk through recent actions in Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Nigeria, Israel, China/Taiwan, and Russia/Ukraine to show that despite the values-based rhetoric often used to justify US actions, the actions themselves belie that claim.Throughout their conversation they press beyond the event to...

Ep. 24 Bonus Space: From Domain to Dependency
In this episode of Understandable Insights, Sue and Eric discuss the future of space. Low Earth orbit is becoming a “house of cards,” where mega-constellations and frequent close passes shrink the margin for error and raise the risk of a cascading debris event. Space is shifting from a domain to a dependency, and we’re lagging on the policies, norms, and accountability needed to keep pace with capability. They also dig into what this means for NASA’s next chapter—less about a list of initiatives and more about defining “what lane NASA is in,” clarifying outcomes, and aligning the civil/comm...

They unpack what would actually signal progress: whether battlefield activity slows in a way that suggests a real path to peace rather than leverage and messaging.Next, they move north to Greenland to draw a sharp distinction between owning terrain and achieving security outcomes, arguing that strategy is built through partnerships and priorities, not possession thinking.Finally, offshore wind becomes the latest case study in overusing “national secu...

Ep. 23 Ukraine, the NDAA, and Fusion Hype — and Why We Track Santa
In this episode of Understandable Insights, Sue and Eric start with Europe’s move to fund Ukraine through 2026–2027 and unpack what that signals (and what it doesn’t): real staying power, internal fractures, the role of Russian propaganda, and visible public disagreements in intelligence assessments about Putin’s intentions.Next, they turn to the NDAA and use it as a lens on how national security actually gets built. Combatant Command reorganizations and new-domain priorities matter far less than defining the “ends”, especially the people side: training, readiness, and sustained execution.Then they hit the corporate strategy fro...

Ep. 22 Transparency by Design: DOE’s Genesis Mission, H200 Exports, & Australia’s Under-16 Test
In this episode of Understandable Insights, Sue and Eric track Transparency by Design; how you build trust in national security by setting clear outcomes instead of picking winners. They start with DOE’s Genesis Mission, a national push to use AI and advanced computing to supercharge U.S. science through DOE's 17 national labs, while warning against “integration theater” and calling for real governance and talent to match the ambition.Next, they hit the market front: Nvidia’s H200 exports to China, approved under Commerce oversight with a 25% “toll booth.” Is selling “not-the-best” compute a smart way to keep China on th...

They walk through the Trump Corollary of the Monroe Doctrine and the Western Hemisphere, the choice to treat partners transactionally rather than as allies, and whether this document focuses on strategy or specifics.They then shift domains...

They unpack what it means to run a “nation of immigrants” on fear instead of evidence, then turn to Ukraine back-channels and Venezuela’s shadow war to ask what happens when unelected power brokers and intellectual inconsistency undercut public confidence. Finally, they bring the lens home to medical debt, Medicaid cuts, and new rules that...

In this episode of Understandable Insights, Sue and Eric trace how seemingly ordinary deals can reshape American security, starting with a Chinese-linked insurance acquisition that offers a window into the “holy grail” of intelligence—intent. Some foreign capital is about substitution, not partnership. From there, they turn to energy in the AI era, using the federal loan to restart Three Mile Island as a case study in government use. They examine the tug-of-war between state and federal authority, from redistricting fights to dueling approaches to AI regulation—asking when “national security” is a legitimate reason to centralize power and when it’s an...
