In early January‚ Carney commanding officer Cmdr. Jeremy Robertson and sailors serving aboard the USS Carney were honored for shooting down Houthi drones and missiles in October and December. Carney commanding officer Cmdr. Jeremy Robertson was awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal; the sailors aboard received the Combat Action Ribbon. On Dec. 16‚ the Carney shot down 14 Houthi-launched unmanned aerial vehicles in the Red Sea. On November 29‚ in the South Red Sea‚ the USS Carney (DDG 64) shot down an Iranian-produced KAS-04 unmanned aerial vehicle launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. “Although its intentions are not known‚ the UAV was heading toward the warship‚” U.S. Central Command reported. “At the time of the shoot down‚ the USS Carney was escorting the USNS SUPPLY (Oiler) and another U.S. flagged and crewed ship carrying military equipment to the region. There were no injuries to U.S. personnel and no damage to U.S. vessels.” “On Oct. 19‚ 2023‚ the Carney crew executed critical air and missile defense duties in the Red Sea‚ ensuring that the Combined Forces Air Component Commander could effectively deter regional actors from horizontally escalating the crisis in the Levant. The team defended the ship and their Shipmates from a complex air attack‚ manifested in the form of multiple hostile air threats traversing the Red Sea‚ spanning a three-hour interception engagement‚” a Navy spokesperson stated. On January 13‚ the USS Carney (DDG-64) launched a Tomahawk Land Attack Missile against a Houthi radar site.

DOD intelligence officials expressed their intentions to employ AI in threat analysis in a Google Defense Forum (GDF) on Thursday. Richard Leach‚ Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) intelligence director and Army colonel‚ said that AI would alleviate decision-makers’ burden by expediting the processing and analyzing a “tsunami of data” received in hundreds or thousands of reports every day. “Let AI identify key pieces of information and maybe do some of the basic analysis‚” said Leach. “Let the analysts focus on the hard problem set so they’re not wasting time‚ resources‚ and people.” Leach clarified that AI could move at a faster pace than human analysts‚ citing adversaries’ instantaneous switches between virtual private servers. “[Adversaries are] moving at ‘lightspeed‚’” said Leach. “They’re on fiber optic networks. They’re able to bounce from one VPS [virtual private server] to another in an instant‚ so utilizing AI to try to get ahead of that is going to be essential.” This year’s GDF was underwritten by Google for Government‚ and presented by DefenseScoop.  What a phenomenal day at the #GoogleDefense Forum! Thank you to all of our speakers‚ attendees‚ and our esteemed partners at @Google Public Sector and @googlecloud. Fueled with inspiration and urgency‚ we look forward to future innovations. pic.twitter.com/92NinEumLb — DefenseScoop (@DefenseScoop) January 25‚ 2024 Leach spoke in a panel alongside Jude Sunderbruch‚ DOD Cyber Crime Center executive director‚ and Sandra Joyce‚ Google Cloud Mandiant Intelligence vice president‚ in discussing AI-driven cyber operations.   Other GDF panels included pitches from Google executives on bringing commercial cloud parity and new cybersecurity technology to DOD; achieving tactical edge; transitioning to AI for mission outcome; and defending climate readiness as mission readiness. Rachel Ross from the @DeptofDefense‚ @DeborahLoomis8 from the Dept of the @USNavy‚ and Kevin Mulligan from @googlecloud explored how sustainability and climate readiness are integral to mission readiness. #GoogleDefense pic.twitter.com/kIn8CQBlMy — DefenseScoop (@DefenseScoop) January 25‚ 2024 DefenseScoop is a brand of Scoop News Group (SNG)‚ a government tech media company founded in 2008 that also offers events for government and industry VIPs and advertising campaigns for major corporations.

CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP SNG’s relationship with the government apparently affords it access to exclusive tips on certain government initiatives. In November‚ unnamed government sources made DefenseScoop aware of interim Pentagon leadership guidance on generative AI. The tip came several months after DOD launched Task Force Lima to research the integration potential of generative AI within the agency‚ and after the National Security Agency (NSA) established an AI security center consolidating existing AI and security-related activities across the NSA.  Government reliance on AI‚ especially for threat analysis‚ has yielded some troubling results already. Last summer‚ Air Force leadership warned against heavy reliance on AI after an AI-enabled drone “killed” its human operator in a simulated test. The AI drone turned on its operator after viewing the operator as a hindrance to its mission.  In December‚ Sen. Rand Paul’s annual report on government waste revealed that an AI verification system failed to flag individuals who applied for the pandemic Paycheck Protection Program using Barbie dolls for profile pictures. 

An Alabama man convicted of first-degree murder became the first death row inmate to be executed via nitrogen gas on Thursday. Kenneth Eugene Smith‚ who killed Elizabeth Sennett in 1988 in a murder-for-hire plot‚ was declared dead at 8:25 p.m. Thursday after a mask was put over his face which pumped nitrogen gas into his body‚ the Montgomery Advertiser reported. Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey confirmed the execution shortly after Smith‚ 58‚ was declared dead. “After more than 30 years and attempt after attempt to game the system‚ Mr. Smith has answered for his horrendous crimes‚” Ivey said. “The execution was lawfully carried out by nitrogen hypoxia‚ the method previously requested by Mr. Smith as an alternative to lethal injection.” “I pray that Elizabeth Sennett’s family can receive closure after all these years dealing with that great loss‚” Ivey added‚ according to AL.com. Smith was convicted of first-degree murder in 1996 and sentenced to death for his role in the murder-for-hire plot that targeted Sennett‚ the wife of a Church of Christ minister. According to evidence established at trial‚ Charles Sennett hired Billy Gray Williams to kill his wife‚ and Williams paid Smith‚ along with a man named John Forrest Parker‚ $1‚000 to carry out the murder. Smith and Williams drove to the Sennetts’ home when Elizabeth was there alone and attacked her with “their fists and other objects such as a poker‚ walking cane‚ fireplace tongs‚” and a knife‚ according to documents from the trial‚ WVMT 13 reported. The murder investigation immediately focused on Charles Sennett as a suspect‚ and he killed himself just a week after his wife’s slaying. Parker‚ Smith’s accomplice in the murder-for-hire‚ was executed by lethal injection in 2010‚ and Williams‚ who was sentenced to life without parole‚ died in prison in 2020. Smith survived the first attempt to execute him in November of 2022 after prison officials failed to access his veins to start an intravenous line for the lethal injection. After the botched execution attempt‚ the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Smith’s lawyers who requested that he should be allowed to die by nitrogen hypoxia‚ according to AL.com. Smith appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday‚ requesting a halt to his execution‚ but the high court denied both attempts. The convicted murderer’s last meal was steak‚ hashbrowns‚ and eggs. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Following Smith’s execution‚ his spiritual advisor‚ Rev. Jeff Hood‚ said he was disturbed by Smith’s death via nitrogen gas after witnessing other executions that used lethal injections. “Lethal injection is preferable every single day‚” Hood said‚ adding‚ “What we saw was minutes of someone struggling for his life.” “Kenny Smith was by no means a perfect person‚” said Hood. “We have got to make sure that this never‚ ever‚ happens again.” Sennett’s son Mike said that while Smith’s execution won’t bring his mother back‚ his “evil deeds” had been paid for. “Elizabeth Dorlene Sennett got her justice tonight‚” he said.

In a recent fiery critique that has set the internet ablaze‚ Tucker Carlson delivered a scathing commentary on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The conservative commentator did not hold back as he suggested that Trudeau might consider returning to Cuba‚ a statement that has sparked both controversy and amusement among audiences. The jab at Trudeau’s heritage stems from long-standing rumors regarding his familial ties to the former Cuban dictator‚ Fidel Castro. These rumors are fueled by the historical friendship between Trudeau’s parents and Castro‚ coupled with a perceived physical resemblance between Trudeau and the late Cuban leader. While these claims have never been substantiated‚ they have become fodder for political commentators like Carlson. Tucker Carlson calls Justin Trudeau to state Canada will be Liberated. Let’s pray this happens because all Major Canadian Political Parties are Captured and Corrupt to the core. pic.twitter.com/1lLccScISx — Liz Churchill (@liz_churchill10) January 23‚ 2024 Carlson’s remarks extended beyond Trudeau’s ancestry‚ targeting the Prime Minister’s understanding of cultural practices. He criticized Trudeau for his past actions‚ such as dressing up as Aladdin at an “Arabian Nights-themed” party in 2001‚ suggesting that while Trudeau may don the costumes of other cultures‚ he lacks a genuine comprehension of them. The commentary reached a peak when Carlson humorously proposed that if he ever met Trudeau‚ he would demand an immediate DNA test using a service like 23andMe. This quip played into the narrative of questioning Trudeau’s lineage and underscored the satirical tone of Carlson’s critique. Tucker Carlson just accused Justin Trudeau of being a closeted homosexual Do you agree with him?pic.twitter.com/iIX0CsUAOF — The Pleb Reporter (@truckdriverpleb) January 25‚ 2024 The conservative pundit’s words resonated with many who view Trudeau’s leadership style and policies as problematic. To them‚ Carlson’s statements highlight what they perceive as Trudeau’s performative and superficial approach to governance and cultural sensitivity. Carlson’s call to “liberate Canada” was made ahead of his visit to Calgary‚ Alberta‚ where he left a voicemail for Trudeau’s media line declaring his intentions. This bold move was emblematic of the confrontational style that has become synonymous with Carlson’s brand of commentary. As the dust settles on what some have called the roast of the year‚ it is clear that the exchange has struck a chord with those critical of Trudeau’s administration. Whether one views Carlson’s comments as a mere jest or a pointed political critique‚ they have undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of an ongoing debate about cultural identity‚ heritage‚ and the responsibilities of public figures in representing and respecting diverse backgrounds.
