    26 juni 2023 · 34 min

    Afspelen
    The dust is still settling from Yevgeny Prigozhin's march on Moscow that gripped the world and rocked the Kremlin. Many questions remain but one thing is certain. In the wake of Prigozhin's bold if seemingly ill-fated challenge to the authority of Russia's Ministry of Defense, Vladimir Putin is weaker today in the eyes of Russians, Ukrainians and the world. We discuss the consequences of that change with the Washington Post's Shane Harris, former CIA Moscow hand John Sipher, co-host former CIA operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos and co-host David Rothkopf.

  14. Is There Hope for the American Justice System?

    16 juni 2023 · 42 min

    Afspelen
    There have been glimmers of sanity from a Supreme Court that seemed hopelessly radicalized. The former president of the United States has begun to be held accountable and America has not rioted in the streets in response. We are far from out of the woods and Donald Trump has promised that the first thing he would do were he to be reelected is to turn the country into a banana republic. But what are we to make of the progress, the good news? And what should we brace for in terms of the next wave of bad news? We discuss with the one and only Dahlia Lithwick of Slate and the Amicus brief. You won't want to miss this conversation.

    Every day it seems new revelations suggest Donald Trump is in greater legal jeopardy. And, with each new revelation, comes a chorus of accusations and threats from the GOP led by Trump himself that it is time to shut down the Department of Justice and the FBI, time to fire those who are involved in investigating him, time to purge the government of everyone disloyal to the MAGA movement. It is a perilous moment. But where will it lead? We discuss with former FBI special agent Peter Strzok in a wide-ranging, insight-rich conversation you won't want to miss.

  39. Do We Have the CIA and FBI We Need?

    22 mei 2023 · 33 min

    Afspelen
    There are deep challenges facing the agencies of our government most responsible for our security (from the intelligence community to the FBI, the Secret Service to the Department of Defense.) They range from changing missions, the existence of right wing extremists within their ranks, sexual harassment and more. We have a conversation with former CIA officer and FBI agent Tracy Walder regarding the nature of those challenges and whether she thinks we're taking them. In addition, co-host Marc Polymeropoulos and Walder discuss their hopeful interaction with a younger generation that may have a transformative influence on these vital parts of our government. Join us.
