How Chinese Spies Are Operating In America May 17, 2026

Show notes

When Americans think about Chinese espionage, they usually picture spy balloons, cyberattacks, or stolen military secrets. But some of the most concerning operations may be happening much closer to home.

Federal investigators have uncovered secret police stations, influence campaigns targeting local politicians, surveillance of dissidents, and networks tied to everything from intellectual property theft to fentanyl trafficking.

Investigative author Peter Schweizer says these are not isolated incidents. They’re part of a much broader strategy—one aimed at gaining influence, stealing technology, and weakening America without firing a shot. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

Show notes

At first glance, the buildings didn’t look unusual. Empty storefronts. Generic office signs. Businesses that barely seemed open. But behind many of them was a massive flow of Medicaid money — part of a growing network of home healthcare companies accused of exploiting loopholes in the system and billing taxpayers for questionable services on a staggering scale.
On this introductory episode of Behind The Story, investigative reporter Luke Rosiak explains how he used government data, computer coding, and old-fashioned reporting to uncover a billion-dollar fraud scheme hiding in plain sight.

What Happens When A Data Center Comes To Town? May 16, 2026

Show notes

The AI revolution isn’t just happening online anymore. It’s arriving in towns across America — in the form of massive data centers, new transmission lines, and warehouse-sized buildings that consume enormous amounts of electricity.
Supporters say these projects will fuel economic growth and help America stay ahead in the AI race. Critics warn about rising energy demands, water use, and the growing influence of Big Tech on local communities.
On this episode of Morning Wire, energy analyst Mark Mills explains what’s really driving the data center boom, why AI requires so much infrastructure, and how the race for artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape America itself.
