Trump's Got 99 Problems But Too Much Respect for the Law Ain't One of Them... Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

The Syria strike was likely highly ineffective due to the fact that it was limited in impact, came without a long-term strategy or much likelihood of follow-up actions to end the use of chemical weapons or the wholesale slaughter of Syrians. But wait, it gets worse: It was also an illegal strike by almost every measure. But hey, that's not a bug it's a feature of the Trump approach to the presidency and life. He's one of those people who sees the law as something only little people must deal with. We discuss what that means for him, U.S. foreign policy, and this teetering presidency with Oona Hathaway of Yale Law School, Susan Hennessey of Lawfare, Kim Ghattas of the Carnegie Endowment and our own Rosa Brooks of Georgetown Law School.Tune in!

A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Small Hands Apr 13, 2018

Show notes

Every day in Trumpassic Era seems like a million years in geological time. Sex scandals, echoes of old pee tapes, pending missile strikes in search of a strategy, waves of national security experts leaving the White House, the president calling the former FBI director a “lying slimebag”, the FBI director launching a book that is the most stunning attack by a top former official on a sitting president in memory…and the president, according to his staff, just sitting around fuming, eating and watching TV. It’s a mad whirl and we’ve got it all right up to, but not including, the Khloe-Tristan cheating scandal. Tune in to a great Deep State Radio featuring Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake and Mieke Eoyang!

The Steering Wheel Doesn’t Connect to the Engine Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

John Bolton’s first day as National Security Advisor presents him with the kind of opportunities he has waited his entire life for—a choice between worsening relations and possible military action against Syria, Iran and North Korea. Where will he succeed in making Trump’s terrible instincts worse? Or is there a chance he might become in his new role a more responsible voice creating a constructive meaningful process that produces wise policy outcomes. (Nah. There isn’t a Tiara of Optimism big or powerful enough to expect that outcome.) Join us as we discuss with the Angels of Doom—Rosa Brooks and Sam Vinograd, the reigning holder of the Tiara of Optimism, Kori Schake and the wise (and therefore pessimistic) Julie Smith.

The World After Trump Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

The day after Trump leaves office some things will change immediately (like a terrible management style or diplomacy via Twitter or bad relations with Mexico) and some things will take years to fix (like the institutions we have broken or repairing our standing as a reliable partner.). On this episode of Deep State Radio Kori Schake of the IISS, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown, Kelly Magsamen of the Center for American Progress and host David Rothkopf discuss how America and the world should prepare for a moment that may be approaching faster than we think...but will get here sooner or later inevitably.

Vladimir Putin, You Win a Brand New Car! Apr 03, 2018

Show notes

Perhaps its his fear of an impending Oprah candidacy but Donald Trump seems to be embracing her tactic of great generosity to her audience. In his case, it is of course, the audience of one he covets most...the one in the Kremlin. And so in this week's episode of Trump's reality television show he has decided--after attacking our neighbors to the South (Mexico), a big American company (Amazon), and the U.S. Department of Justice--to give a big reward to Putin by reportedly inviting him to a White House meeting. This is the kind of reward presidents reserve only for special friends--and think of what Putin has done to deserve it. Yes, Just think of it. That's what our Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake and special guest Kelly Magsamen from the Center for American Progress do on this episode of Deep State Radio. Tune in!

The Acela of Evil: The Train to Denuclearization of the Koreas Runs Through Beijing, Apparently Mar 29, 2018

Show notes

It looks like the Trump-Kim Summit is a thing. A real thing. That’ll likely happen this Spring. At least, all indicators were pointing in that direction following Kim Jong Un’s stealthy train trip from Pyongyang to Beijing this past week and the follow up announcement that meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping were productive and that Kim was willing to discuss the de-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Whatever that may mean. We discuss the trip, the winners, the losers and how John Bolton’s mustache will fare at the negotiating table. Also: a look at the latest news about Trump and Russia and whether it will actually take a revealing photo showing Trump’s full-body Russian mafia tattoo (a la “Eastern Promises”) to prove to the GOP leadership that Comrade T has all along been the star of “The Hunt for Orange November”, a sequel that we definitely did not need. Join Rosa Brooks, Ed Luce and David Sanger and host David Rothkopf for this latest episode!

Why Vladimir Putin is the Hottest Politician in the World Right Now Mar 22, 2018

Show notes

He doesn't love democracy. He is aging. He, frankly, doesn't run with a very nice crowd. Oh, and there are all those invasions and murders and all that spying and so on. But Vladimir Putin has now won four elections to be Russia's president...and is two-for-two in major superpower elections in the past couple years. Where can this lead...and what happens if Trump turns up the heat on his patron anytime soon? Plus--what would be the consequences of ditching the Iran deal (as the U.S. now seems likely to do)? For the Middle East? For North Korea? Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake, Ed Luce and David Rothkopf discuss. Join us.

What's Worse Than a Constitutional Crisis? Mar 20, 2018

Show notes

A recent article in the Atlantic echoed a discussion we had not too long on Deep State Radio about whether or not we are in a "constitutional crisis." The conclusion was we face "rot" not a crisis right now. But is that worse than a crisis because it inures us to a problem without motivating us to confront and change it? And is there something worse, an underlying cultural crisis that threaten our society in even more grievous ways? Kori Schake, Rosa Brooks, Ed Luce and David Rothkopf discuss. Tune in.

Does Objective Truth Still Exist...and if it Does Can the G.O.P Survive? Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

With so much focus on scandal, corruption, nuclear war, racism, isolationism, protectionism, and nationalism in the era of Trump, we sometimes lose site of the little things. Like the future. Or the urgent problems we have to solve. Or the truth. On this episode of Deep State Radio Georgetown University's Rosa Brooks, IISS Deputy Director General Kori Schake and Vice President for the National Security Program at Third Way Mieke Eoyang debate the people, processes and mind-sets that are our problem and what to do about them. And they defend the idea of objective truth, even visiting for a bit with most famous ever Bishop of Cloyne, George Berkeley. Fun? Right? Join us.
