The Birth of Strategic Muddling Through Oct 19, 2017

Show notes

In this episode of Deep State Radio, a discussion about the state of the rudderless, visionless Middle East (and America's rudderless, visionless foreign policy) leads Rosa Brooks to frame that the core idea behind modern US foreign policy should be "strategic muddling through." Our panel of Rosa, Kori Schake, MacKenize Eaglen, and host, David Rothkopf, discuss. While all agree its how most of we who reside in the Deep State manage our personal lives, there is disagreement about the implications. Good for China? Good for Russia and Iran? Bad for our Arab allies? Maybe all of the above? Or is it still, as Kori concludes, the best of all times to be an American? Tune in and muddle through with us.

The Nullification Crisis of 2017: Present at the Destruction Oct 17, 2017

Show notes

Is the president leading a nullification of the power of the federal government from within--appointing enemies of departments to head departments and deconstructing the international system America has worked 75 years to build? Is it all part of some philosophical commitment to nihilism? Anarchy? Is it all an accident? Or is it democracy in action, the American electorate getting wanted they wanted...or they deserve? Our panel of Mackenzie Eaglen of AEI, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown and Kori Schake of Stanford...joined by host David Rothkopf, discuss. Animatedly. Join us.

The Art of Undoing America's Deals Oct 12, 2017

Show notes

In a recent interview with Forbes, President Trump said he didn't feel any obligation to honor deals struck by representatives of the United States during past administrations. His track record shows this is one area in which he is not just talk. He withdrew from TPP and the Paris Accords, is renegotiating NAFTA and may blow it up, has speculated at pulling out of a trade deal with South Korea and is going to decertify Iran despite the fact that there are no grounds for it in the nuclear deal with that country, a move that not only. will jeopardize that deal but other negotiations worldwide. What're the consequences of a world that no longer can take the most important player in the international system at its word? Our panel including Kori Schake of Stanford, David Sanger of the New York Times, Ed Luce of the Financial Times and host David Rothkopf of the Washington Post discuss. Join us.

Is the Establishment Taking it Too Easy on the Donald? Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

How did we get here? How did we get to the Secretary of State calling the president a moron and the Republican Head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee saying he needed adult supervision and had us possibly heading for World War III? Certainly Donald Trump had something to do with it? But what about the rest of us? Despite his whining is the media actually going too easy on him? What about the political establishment? In this episode big time establishment types like Kori Schake of Stanford, David Sanger of the New York Times and Edward Luce of the Financial Times discuss...and make it all clear. Tune in.

Madman Gambit or Madman Diagnosis? Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

Is the president playing three-dimensional chess with the world by constantly offering different policies with different tone and apparently different objectives from the rest of his team including his most senior cabinet members? Are we all too limited to understand the giant intellect of this man who sees the universe with a sort of depth and clarity reserved for the Stephen Hawkings and Albert Einsteins of this world? Or is he just nuts? Or is he perhaps nuts and stupid? Or could it be that he is nuts and stupid and incompetent and surrounded by a bunch of insipid enablers? Our great panel including Politico's Susan Glasser, the German Marshall Fund's Laura Rosenberger, Stanford's Kori Schake and Georgetown's Rosa Brooks (and our host, David Rothkopf, columnist for the Washington Post) discuss, debate and shed light into very dark places. Join them.

The Only Discussion of the North Korea Situation You'll Ever Need Sep 26, 2017

Show notes

We could say a lot about this episode of Deep State Radio but there is really nothing more that needs to be said beyond the fact that this discussion featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning military historian and author of "Churchill & Orwell: The Fight for Freedom" Tom Ricks, Stanford's Kori Schake, Georgetown's Rosa Brooks, the New York Times' David Sanger and host David Rothkopf, columnist for the Washington Post, is the best discussion of the rapidly deteriorating situation between the U.S. & North Korea that you will hear anywhere. Warning: It is also really really depressing and should only be listened to in the deepest reaches of your silo while drinking copious amounts of box wine. (Yes, things have gotten much worse since our last such discussion...about a week ago.)

Will Donald Trump Despoil the UNGA Punchbowl? Sep 19, 2017

Show notes

It's UNGA week, the big party for the world's leaders as they come to NYC for the opening of the UN General Assembly. Of course, this year is marked by the fact that it's Donald Trump's first UNGA as president of the United States...and that could be the reason so many of the world's most important leaders are not attending. But plenty of folks will be watching because Trump is, after all, Trump. This week, David Sanger of the New York Times, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University and Kori Schake of Stanford University discuss what to expect from Trump and the UN meetings with regard to Iran, North Korea, and Nikki Haley's career prospects.
