With Sam Faddis & David Walsh

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer

I discussed with Sam Faddis Donald Trump's discussion at Davos about the idea of some sort of major new nuclear disarmament initiative with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping in which we explored whether it's remotely possible that either of those leaders, having invested immense amounts of money in building up their nuclear arsenals, are actually interested in getting rid of them or are simply planning on running a playbook they used repeatedly in the past of persuading the United States not to modernize its nuclear deterrent without actually ending or even dramatically reducing their own nuclear capabilities.

David Walsh, Managing Director of Takota group

Dave Walsh gave me a fantastic overview of the truth about our energy posture. The fact that it is not the case that the climate is warming catastrophically as a result of man-caused forces, notably the production of greenhouse gases, and that the consequence of believing otherwise has been enormously costly and potentially catastrophically problematic in terms of our energy insecurity. We also talked about Donald Trump's plans to address what is the energy crisis that has arisen from all of that and how, in the state of Texas and elsewhere, course corrections he has called for can and must be urgently adopted.
