It's the End of the Pax Americana, Y'all...Is It Time to Let Someone Else Drive the Global System?
In this episode of Deep State Radio our special guest Edward Luce of the Financial Times joins Georgetown's Rosa Brooks, Stanford's Kori Schake and the New York Times' David Sanger to discuss what's gone wrong in Anglo-American democracy, what's gone remarkably right in France, why Rosa is still in Canada, and why it may be that it's not just Trump that's contributed to the end of the Pax Americana...it may be his whole damn baby boom generation (and the missteps of all the Boomer presidents from Clinton to Bush to Obama to Trump.). Where this leads...and whether that might be a good thing are discussed and the whole thing leads Luce to use the word "parlous"--which elevates the discourse of Deep State Radio to new levels.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

That's Not His Hair: There's a Cloud Over Trump and It's Not Going Away
There's lots we don't know about how things are going to shake out in the small constellation of scandals that surround America's president. But there is one thing that's clear. The cloud Donald Trump wanted James Comey to help remove is not going away anytime soon. Does this mean America's president is no longer the most powerful man in the world? Is Trump the least influential American president since Hoover? And has Rosa Brooks found a used Canadian missile silo? Regulars Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University, Kori Schake of Stanford, and David Sanger of the New York Times are joined by the Financial Times' America columnist Ed Luce and host David Rothkopf in this the third episode of Deep State Radio.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

Imagining Trump's First Crisis
America's Twitter-bomber-in-chief has caused plenty of mayhem during his wild ride through the first half year in the presidency, but he hasn't really been tested by a crisis. On this episode, guests Rosa Brooks, Kori Shake and David Sanger discuss what clues deep staters might have gleaned about how the big guy might handle a terrorist attack or an international incident. They also consider just how long lasting the damage of the Trump tenure might be to America's standing. Which leads them right back to wondering about where to find a good used nuclear missile silo...and to a discussion of Kori's sparkling Tiara of Optimism.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

Anyone Got a Good Used Missle Silo?
On this pilot episode of the Deep State Radio podcast (secretly taped in the third sub-basement of the Ministry of Snark), guests Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University, Kori Schake of Stanford and David Sanger of the New York Times reunite with host David Rothkopf for a look under the hood of the fine-tuned machine that is the Trump Administration. The apocalypse comes up. And then there are the real low points. But on the positive side, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was one of the producers of "Wonder Woman."Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
