Deep State Radio

If the shutdown in Washington drags on and with it animosity between the political parties grows, will the remainder of Trump's first term be marked by gridlock in DC...and a president forced to turn overseas to make his mark? What might that mark be? Pulling troops out of S. Korea? Breaking up NATO? War with Iran? Kori Schake of IISS, Ed Luce of the Financial Times and Joe Cirincione of the Ploughshares Fund discuss these and even worse possibilities. This is a good one to listen to from your backyard bunker or silo. Tune in! Good times!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

For more than 30 years, John McLaughlin has been one of the most thoughtful and trusted minds in the U.S. Intelligence Community rising to be Acting Director of Central Intelligence and Deputy Director of Central Intelligence. He sees no precedent for the period we are in, the threats we face both internally and externally nor the challenges these present for the intelligence community or the country. From a new National Intelligence Strategy that directly challenges the president and his policies to the sweeping success Putin has had undercutting the West's alliances and our vulnerability to future such attacks, our conversation with him is bracing and essential listening.

Donald Trump has the figure and muscle tone of a baby whale but he moved through the MLK Memorial in Washington on Monday like Usain Bolt. Traveling with the equally intolerant and odious Mike Pence, the U.S. president was in and out of the memorial in two minutes. But he went. Which our own Kori Schake says speaks to the power of norms in our society and is a good thing. Even better, the rapidly accelerating role for diverse voices in American politics--a trend that gained a big boost with the November elections and another when Cardi B entered the government shutdown debate over the weekend. Join Kori and guest Joe Cirincione for a discussion of these trends plus--next steps with North Korea on the latest DSR.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

After 300 rejection letters from local newspapers around the country, Warren Leight decided it was time to ditch his journalistic pursuits, and we're lucky he did. Warren has always had his thumb on America's political pulse merging the most topical issues into his work. While he never found an audience for his feel good hostage musical comedy, he found critical acclaim writing/producing Law & Order SVU. His new "ripped from the headlines" show Law & Order: Hate Crimes is poised to take deeper look into the issue. And most importantly we talked about Ice-T, Emily's rap name, twitter trolls and why people need to stop blaming him for Chris Meloni leaving SVU.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

Trump may be a disaster as a person and as a president. But he may also be triggering a rebirth in American political thought and a flowering of new policy ideas. The progressive branch of the Democratic Party is in the lead at the moment, but with so many areas demanding rethinking, the ferment may spread and we may all be the beneficiaries. How? Tune in to our discussion among Georgetown's Rosa Brooks, the Financial Times' Ed Luce, IISS's Kori Schake and the New York Times' David Sanger to discuss new ideas, why they're happening and why their may be a silver lining to the shit storm we are dealing with every day.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

We're finally getting there folks. It is not the government shutdown. It is not the hyper-politicization of everything. But thanks to Donald Trump and recent revelations about the Russia probe, we may be getting to a point where even persnickety legal experts like our own Rosa Brooks acknowledge that America is on the verge of a constitutional crisis. A big one. The likes of which we haven't seen in decades. Join Rosa, Kori Schake of IISS, David Sanger of the New York Times and Evelyn Farkas of the German Marshall Fund for a discussion of the latest bombshells that have helped bring the impending crisis into clearer view.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

General Mark Hertling served for 37 years in the U.S. military, rising to become Commanding General of the U.S. Army Europe. Since his retirement, he has become well-known as a commentator on television and on social media. He discusses what went wrong between Trump and "his generals", the current level of dysfunction within the U.S. national security establishment, its impact on our allies, our security and morale in the military. He also speculates as to whether or not, it may actually be helpful for the U.S. to have a president like Donald Trump every so often--in much the same way that a heart-attack may help a smoker give up cigarettes.

Hillary Clinton's senior advisor Philippe Reines has had a unique career path, to say the least. He never imagined that his job would circle him around the globe as HRC's right hand man or that he would be called on to go "method" and role play as Trump for 2016 presidential debate prep. Philippe peels back the curtain and gets candid about politics, his recent twitter tussle with a FOX commentator, his thoughts about 2020 Democratic candidates and why he owes Emily $1.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

Not everyone can claim Kermit the Frog, Miss. Piggy and Fozzie Bear as their friends. Not everyone can say they created the most successful sitcom on television. And certainly, not everyone can say they were awarded the Anti- Defamation League Entertainment Industry Award. Not anyone can claim all of those things...but one person can: Bill Prady. On this Washington for Beautiful People, Bill and Emily discuss the fall of the GOP, the good, bad and very ugly of social media, the "others" and The Muppets, yes the The Muppets.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

The latest edition of Deep State Radio's National Security Magazine offers up an in-depth interview with one of the most distinguished leaders the U.S. intelligence community has produced, General James Clapper. Culminating his 54 year career in the military and intelligence communities with a six and a half year term as Director of National Intelligence, Clapper considers the current state of the relations between the intelligence community and the president as well as profound consequences of Russia's massive on-going efforts to interfere in America's democratic processes. Clapper, author this year of Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence, also discusses the efforts to brief Trump on Russia, the Mike Flynn case, the decision to pull out of Syria and other concessions to Vladimir Putin from Team Trump. Tune in. It's an engrossing and important discussion.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What does Trump, podcasts and Patti Lupone have in common: Jon Cryer. On Washington for Beautiful People Jon and Emily discuss Trump, twitter trolls, podcasting and (wait for it) Patti Lupone. While most people know Jon Cryer as Duckie from "Pretty in Pink" or Alan Harper from "Two and a Half Men" Cryer has always had an interest in our political system and criminal justice. Since 2016, Cryer has used his voice to amplify important issues including criminal justice reform. It was that interest that led him to host the popular podcast Addendum. And most importantly, Jon regales Emily with stories from musical theater and the one the only Patti Lupone.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
