Dear readers,

In the aftermath of January 6th, I joined a team of national security experts and policymakers for a simulation designed to answer the following question: how would our government respond to a future attempt to overturn the results of an election and destroy our democracy? “War Game” is a documentary that chronicles the results of this excerise and the decisions made by a simulated presidential cabinet over the course of 24 hours. In opposition to this cabinet, a “Red Team” of national security and tech experts examine the strategies and techniques that the fictional Order of Columbus would use to challenge our nation’s leadership. The film is available on the streaming servce The Network this Friday, July 4th.

The Network is accessible via www.thenetwork.stream and is available via app on Roku, Apple, Amazon Fire, Android, and XFinity. Be sure to give the film a watch and let me know what you think in the comments below.
