2020/12/24

Today's episode features a conversation with comedian Kathy Griffin. I tried to teach her to bake lemon bars and she tried to convince me she was too famous to have to know how to bake.But what she does do, brilliantly, is tell stories and the conversation we had while waiting for her lemon bars to come out of the oven is worth listening to. (The lemon bars are worth making too.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our Escalating Cyberwar with Russia: What Can Biden Do?

2020/12/22

We have endured one of the most massive cyberattacks in history this year.While the US Secretary of State, Attorney General and the intelligence community attribute it to Russia, the president does not.When he has not been silent on it, he has been deflecting attention to the Chinese.All this means we can count on the Trump team doing very little in response to this attack.So the burden shifts to the incoming Biden team.They have no playbook to call upon as the Obama Administration also was not

Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office this weekend discussing whether to send in US troops to declare martial law and nullify a legitimate election. The idea was rebuffed.Perhaps it's the last we'll hear of it.But looking back at the past four years it is clear that we had a president with strongman aspirations and they were far more successful than many imagined possible in the US.How do we respond to that so our system does not face another near death experience like we've just been through?We

No president has ever entered the job with more foreign policy experience than Joe Biden, who has been playing a role at the highest levels of U.S. international affairs since 1972.Nonetheless, the world continues to rapidly change and the new president will be quickly presented with challenges none of his predecessors have faced.We know what some of those are--from COVID to the challenge of succeeding a president who refuses to exit the office gracefully.But the world certainly has others in

Can America Ever Lead Again?

Donald Trump was the worst president in US history.About that, at this point, there can be no doubt.One measure of the disaster he has been is the damage he has done to US foreign policy.Fortunately for the United States, the next president is coming into office with more foreign policy experience than any president since George H.W. Bush...and arguably considerably more than even Bush. And his first-rate team has long-experience with one another and are ready to hit the ground running as of day

Trump's Endgame: How Bad Can it Get?

Despite his historic losing streak in the courts (not to mention his big election loss), Donald Trump continues to argue he was robbed.And many in his own party are supporting Trump's arguments and his baseless conspiracy theories.In fact the vast majority of Republicans now believe what is a complete fairy tale from a president who, whether he likes it or not, has just a few short weeks left in office.What is the significance of this extraordinary GOP unity around what amounts to nothing less than

We are about to enter a period of national catastrophe unlike any we have ever seen, unlike the past year, unlike wars through which we have lived.Mass death during this time is preventable if you listen to scientists and use common sense.But half the country does not.They have embraced an 11th Century combination of superstition and ignorance and are condemning their relatives, their neighbors and their friends to death.Even with a vaccine and competent administration on the horizon, the next three
