It's that time of day. The sun is setting. You're a little parched. Maybe more than a little due to the fireball on the horizon. What's just the right cocktail for the moment? On this episode of Deep State Radio we speak with nuclear weapons specialist and amateur bartender Jeffrey Lewis about his new book "The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks on the United States." We discuss the current state of affairs with North Korea (good for Kim, bad for Trump...oh, and all the rest of us too) and where it may lead. And of course, just what is the right thing to drink when you're offering up your very last toast of the day. Of any day. Tune in!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

The release of Bob Woodward's book "Fear" and the recent anonymous oped in the New York Times claiming to be by a senior official who is mounting the resistance to Trump from within the administration raise important questions about what is the best way to stop the threat posed by an unfit president. Our panel, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown, Mieke Eoyang of Third Way and Kori Schake of IISS offer an examination of what's right, what works and whether the two are in any way related.

Brick by brick the Trump team is not building a wall, it's dismantling the international order. The latest move--an attack on the International Criminal Court by National Security Advisor John Bolton. Should you care? Isn't this just an inside baseball attack on some other acronym that probably doesn't work that well to begin with? Or is it a signal of something more, something bigger, maybe even a watershed in international history? To answer the question we hear from IISS's Kori Schake, Georgetown University's Rosa Brooks and Third Way's Mieke Eoyang. Tune in for all that...and much more about Israel, Afghanistan, America, and bugbears.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.

Every report out of the Trump White House tells the same story. Whether it's the anonymous op-ed from a "senior Trump Administration official" in the New York Times or Bob Woodward's book "Fear" or the Omarosa book or the Wolff book or countless news reports--the president's unhinged, the people around him don't trust him, and some of them have decided to just by-pass the president and govern on their own, elections be damned. Trump blames the Deep State. But we know better! On this emergency episode Rosa "Anonymous" Brooks, David "Anonymous" Sanger and Ed "Anonymous" Luce join us for the kind of fresh, terrifying analysis you can't get anywhere else and shouldn't try at home.

The White House is a shambles. The president is an object of ridicule among his closest aides. The Congress is looking the other way seeming to want to rush a Supreme Court nominee into office before the President is himself hustled before a judge. But that's not the worst of it. Dysfunction in Washington leads to big problems worldwide. This week, our panel including commentator and analyst Rula Jebreal, Georgetown Law School's Rosa Brooks and the Financial Times' Ed Luce consider the latest in DC and one of the places where Trump policies are making a bad situation much much worse--the Middle East.
