The DSR Daily July 14: Oh Boy, More Tariff Threats

Deep State Radio's own Kori Schake wrote an important piece about the current threat to the international order posed by the Trump Administration. In this episode we discuss the article and just exactly how grievous the threat is and how we ought to characterize it. This takes us from John Locke to John Winthrop to Stephen Miller...(and we hope that's the last time you ever see those three names in a sentence together.) Join Kori, Rosa Brooks, Evelyn Farkas and David Rothkopf for the discussion. But bring an adult beverage. It's not an easy discussion to hear.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

The president salutes a North Korean general while praising that countries murderous leader. Babies are torn from their mother's breasts by our border police and children are housed in concentration camps. Loyalty lists are being compiled within the State Department. Our allies are turning away from us, alienated. Trade wars loom. Foreign attacks on our democracy are ignored. The president and his family are sued for wrong-doing by their non-profit. Investigations continue. New stories pile up so quickly we can barely consumed them before another lands. We are in uncharted and terrifying waters and Ambassador Nick Burns, Julia Ioffe, Ed Luce and host David Rothkopf get together to try to make sense of it on the latest Deep State Radio.

The U.S. has done plenty wrong in its history. There are millions around the world that have been victims of flaws in U.S. foreign policy. But since the early part of the 20th Century there has at least been a myth that Americans could cling to that we stood for what was right, for "the American way" and tried to shape the international system around those values. Now, in a week, the U.S. has attacked its allies and friends and embraced one of the world's most brutal dictators. Our president seems to be an amoral and corrupt man. And the result may translate into the undoing both of our standing and the international order that has helped uphold it. Our panelists Rosa Brooks of Georgetown, Mieke Eoyang of the Third Way and Ed Luce of the Financial Times discuss how the tectonic events of the G7 and Singapore summits may impact how America is perceived...and how the world works...for many years to come.

The recent round of primary elections in the US don't seem to show a groundswell of public indignation over the fact that the president of the United States has obstructed justice, is a pathological liar, is profoundly corrupt and is, at the very least, surrounded by people and family members who may well have conspired with the Russians to tip the scales in the last election. So, that's a bummer. But if that weren't enough, the president is now playing the North Korea nuclear summit not for its arms control or geopolitical value but as a card in helping to stave off a Democratic victory in November. That's important to know, observe our experts, because...well, it means all the traditional foreign policy analysis you may hear will be completely irrelevant. Sam Vinograd, Asha Rangappa, Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake and David Sanger join to discuss this, Dennis Rodman, Seb Gorka and why Rudy Giuliani is driving Asha to drink and may offer Trump an inadequate counsel defense in the long run.

On this, the historic, 100th episode of Deep State Radio (once called by Bridget Jones "the world's most important podcast") our usual band of troublemakers discuss just how much worse off the world is 100 podcasts later than it was we started. Could it all have to do with the man one NPR commentator referred to as "an escaped monkey from a cocaine study?" Which English monarch is most reminiscent of that monkey? (Ethelred the Cokehead?) And what can we expect 100 episodes from now? (The end of the euro? War with Iran? A Trump casino in Pyongyang? President Nancy Pelosi?) We not only answer all your questions but we announce a whole lot of ways we intend to show our love for Deep State Radio nerd nation...because we can't think of any other group of folks we'd rather spend the End Days with!

Tune in for the fun as Anna exits to another room and continues discussing the future of Asia and the world with Ed Luce of the FT, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University and host David Rothkopf, who is himself somewhere in Asia at the moment.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

Their courtship will go down in history with those of Romeo & Juliet, Tristan & Isolde, and Goldman and Sachs. Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have had their spats to be sure...but what's a little pre-nuclear foreplay between true loves. Now, all that is behind them it seems and we are heading for the steamy consummation of their relationship somewhere in Singapore...possibly, fittingly, in a a Sheldon Adelson-owned hotel room. If only Shakespeare were alive today to offer up a sonnet, something to honor both of them. Maybe something like Sonnet 29. You know the one: "When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes..." But don't despair. Who needs Shakespeare when you have Ed Luce, Rosa Brooks and Anna Fifield of the Washington Post. Tune in!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

The president's wife carries industrial strength disinfecting wipes wherever she goes because her man is a germaphobe. But when it comes to the growing ebola outbreak in Africa, he seems anything but prepared. (Pro tip for POTUS: The wipes won't help.). In fact, when it comes to the big crises that might come from left field--epidemics, climate crises, cyber attacks, and the like, Trump's America is even more unprepared than we usually are. Which is why Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake, Bonnie Jenkins and David Rothkopf end up discussing why it may be that in this day in age, we need bigger, better emotional support animals. Like hippos. Or maybe a dinosaur would be good. And our silo accepts service animals. So...come on down.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
