Homeland Security & Defense Forum

Welcome to “HSDF THE PODCAST,” a collection of policy discussions on government technology and homeland security brought to you by the Homeland Security and Defense Forum

 Borders aren’t just lines on a map—they’re living systems shaped by authorities, partnerships, and the ability to outpace adversaries who adapt fast. We bring together decades of military and law enforcement leadership to unpack what actually determines success: the legal frameworks that govern National Guard and active-duty roles, the intelligence architecture that connects U.S. agencies with Mexican counterparts, and the upstream moves that expose tunnels, stash sites, and convoy routes before they reach the fence.

 Featuring:

 This discussion took place December 12, 2025 at 8th Annual Homeland Security & Defense Forum Border Security Symposium
