Inside the Pentagon on 9/11 | Ambassador Matthew Klimow
M
66:31Matthew KlimowGUEST
So, um, we went to, uh, a different part of, um, the command center, and secretary says we need to raise our alert level.
M
66:42Matthew KlimowGUEST
We raised our force protection level already, but he said we need to go to DEFCON 3, which is a dramatic decision and, and some historians have questioned the wisdom of it.
M
66:52Matthew KlimowGUEST
Because that put all of our-
J
66:54Jack MurphyHOST
That was done to put our air defenses on, like, full alert, right?
M
66:57Matthew KlimowGUEST
Yes.
M
66:57Matthew KlimowGUEST
But when you go to DEFCON 3, it also alerts our nuclear forces.
J
67:00Jack MurphyHOST
Yes.
M
67:01Matthew KlimowGUEST
And the Russians were conducting, um, drills in El- in the Bering Sea area near Alaska, um, which Made things a little dicey.
Extra: Karl Rove on 9/11 | Inside Air Force One & President Bush’s Decision-Making
K
15:10Karl RoveGUEST
The day before, they had locked the base down to do a training drill, so there were no civilian employees.
K
15:16Karl RoveGUEST
They were on, you know, DEFCON, you know, one standing.
D
15:19Dave AnthonyHOST
Mm-hmm.
K
15:19Karl RoveGUEST
So we, you know, we, we, we land there.
Jon DiMaggio Takes You Undercover on the Dark Web Itself
J
31:48John DiMaggioGUEST
They go after those hospitals.
J
31:50John DiMaggioGUEST
And, you know, when I was at DEFCON, I talked about this extensively.
J
31:53John DiMaggioGUEST
But the biggest sort of the end of my fallout with LockBit was, you know, when they had attacked St. Anthony's Hospital in Chicago.
J
32:03John DiMaggioGUEST
And it has a children's cancer ward.
Lynx Playoffs and Wolves Preview with Kyle Theige
A
26:39Andrew DukowitzHOST
And again, as Jude mentions in the chat, first series of the WNBA playoffs is three games.
A
26:44Andrew DukowitzHOST
So I am fascinated to see how the seating works out because right now I think the DEFCON like emergency, this is all gone wrong type of scenario is you get the mystics in the first round who are incredibly big they have a six foot five center off the bench and bets irfan and austin have been awesome they play physical that i don't that's going to be a three game series and i don't know if you can stay healthy through that just by the amount of like physicality and then like god forbid if they get atlanta in the second round and now you're going up against one of the best defensive teams in the league angel reese jordan canada's an incredible defender I mean, it almost feels like they're going to need some luck to either get Dallas to be the eighth seed so they can just go beat up on a Dallas team that doesn't have AZ Fudd or Alana Smith now, or they're going to have to just go through a gauntlet to win this championship, which...
A
27:46Andrew DukowitzHOST
I don't know.
A
27:48Andrew DukowitzHOST
It's so interesting this year because, like, statistically, the Lynx should be the favorite to win the championship.

The Weekender ep. 47 | Planet FPL 2026/27
J
58:35JamesHOST
Um, next two are really good after this week, and you might say next three are really good, including this week.
J
58:42JamesHOST
Um, it is notable that Newcastle defenders like M- Malick Thiaw's Defcon numbers was really low at Tottenham in game week two, so I'm conscious he's not a definite for Defcon tomorrow.
J
58:52JamesHOST
But five and six fixtures are good.
J
58:55JamesHOST
I think in the uglier run of fixtures they have, he will still pick them up.
Inside the White House on 9/11
C
15:22Cliff MayHOST
Yeah, and we are, of course.
L
15:24Lewis Scooter LibbyGUEST
He recollected that we should – if we're going to change our DEFCON level, we better alert the Russians.
L
15:31Lewis Scooter LibbyGUEST
And
C
15:32Cliff MayHOST
just didn't award what DEFCON is so people understand what that means.
Gameweek 4 Preview - No heads will be shaved!
P
14:05Preston NoblesHOST
I think I could see them all getting on some kind of goal or assist this week.
P
14:09Preston NoblesHOST
And I could also see Egan having like 20 DEFCON contributions again.
P
14:14Preston NoblesHOST
I know he's been racking those up.
P
14:16Preston NoblesHOST
But I know Chelsea, I did see that they're missing Caicedo still.
237. Never Forget: 25 Years Later
R
75:51RyanHOST
That's the second tower crashed down.
R
75:56RyanHOST
10.53, Donald Rumsfeld orders U.S. military to go to DEFCON 3, which you can get into what DEFCONs mean.
R
76:04RyanHOST
11.45, Air Force One lands at Air Force Base in Louisiana.
R
76:10RyanHOST
12.15, the airspace in the United States is completely free of all commercial and private flights.
10 MINS LATER
B
86:23BobHOST
So we drew weapons.
B
86:25BobHOST
We drew weapons, started gathering our gear, started gathering it up.
B
86:29BobHOST
We don't know what's happening, but at this point, and Ryan had alluded to the DEFCONs, the DEFCON was going up as events started to progress.
B
86:40BobHOST
And once the Secretary of Defense at the time was Donald Rumsfeld, once he called it to DEFCON 3, which is mobilization within 16 hours, I think it's 16 hours, I'd have to go back and look at it.
S2E5: Hull City Magic, Heartbreak for United, Waiver Advice and the Great McBurnie Trade Scam
R
37:23RudraHOST
Yeah, Khalil is probably one of the top pickups as well.
R
37:25RudraHOST
He's had DEFCON every week that he's played.
R
37:28RudraHOST
So he's a DEFCON magnet apart from having an attacking threat as well.
R
37:31RudraHOST
So definitely good assets to pick up over there from a Crystal Palace perspective.
R
37:37RudraHOST
The other one that I want to call out is our Ahu that Vinny mentioned earlier.
R
39:16RudraHOST
So yeah, definitely a good shot over there.
R
39:18RudraHOST
They do play Arsenal and Man City next.
R
39:19RudraHOST
So make sure you're looking into that when you're picking up these plays without the expectation of possibly a clean sheet, but more so a DEFCON two-point return
