Mike Baker: 本期节目首先关注北朝鲜军队加入乌克兰战争引发的争议。泄露的通讯记录显示，俄罗斯士兵对北朝鲜新兵的战斗力和指挥能力表示担忧，并对他们表达轻蔑。一些北朝鲜士兵甚至在抵达乌克兰后不久就逃亡。克里姆林宫计划为每30名北朝鲜士兵配备一名翻译和三名高级俄军军官，但俄军表示人手不足。莫斯科已将北朝鲜营调至库尔斯克地区附近。乌克兰证实北朝鲜军队出现在库尔斯克地区，泽连斯基警告称北朝鲜军队可能很快参与战斗。美国和欧盟尚未就此事制定明确计划，但美国国防部长和白宫称北朝鲜军队将成为战场上的合法目标。仅仅谴责和杀害北朝鲜士兵不足以改变金正恩和中国政权的行为。中国否认知晓北朝鲜军队参与俄乌战争。
此外，节目还报道了中国黑客试图入侵特朗普和万斯的手机。除了特朗普和万斯，其他政府官员和工作人员的手机也成为攻击目标。调查人员正在调查黑客是否获取了信息，以及获取了哪些信息。西方网络安全专家认为此次黑客攻击与“盐台风”组织有关。此次事件可能对国家安全产生重大影响，并与美国国家情报总监办公室的警告相呼应。外国势力干预选举的企图在选举临近时会加剧。
