Brazil elects a hard-right candidate who is a threat to democracy. The BRICs are no longer the harbingers of progress we thought them to be.

Kori Schake of IISS, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown and Evelyn Farkas of the Atlantic Council discuss who might step up to lead in the current era...or whether the bad guys are actually the leaders now.

If Every Teacher Had a Portable Nuclear Weapon There Would Be No More School Shootings
The Kashoggi murder has rocked the Middle East. The underlying crime was so horrific, its cover-up has been so pathetic and unpersuasive, and the position of the US administration has only compounded the outrage. The question is: Will this change anything? Our guests Stephen Walt, Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake and Ed Luce discuss and then move on to considering what the deeper significance of the Trump Administration's decision to pull out of the INF Treaty with Russia might mean for the US, for Russia, for arms manufacturers, for China and for all the rest of us.

The Hell of Good Intentions...and the Pleasures of Dubious Ones...
Harvard's Stephen Walt has written a timely book called "The Hell of Good Intentions: America's Foreign Policy Elite and the Decline of U.S. Primacy"...which is just exactly the kind of subject you would expect Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake, and Ed Luce to want to discuss with Steve Walt given the hell of current events and the number of members of the U.S. foreign policy elite they know who are also declining. Join us for a fascinating discussion about where America went wrong and what, if anything, we can do about it.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

What Foreign Policy Shifts May Follow a Dem Victory in November?
While the Trump Administration may get much Trumpier with the personnel changes expected after Election Day, a Democratic victory on November 6th that brought them control of the House of Representatives is likely to create a check on Trump's impulses of a sort he has never had to deal with. From Russia to the Middle East, the Democrats will be pushing for very different policies and countries that have cozied up to the president perhaps should expect a backlash...one that could get worse in 2020. Also: A discussion of the influence of foreign money in the Washington Policy community.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
