Hi, I'm David Rothkoff, the CEO of the DSR network and host of the Deep State Radio Podcast.

Here at DSR, we have always believed that in a world as complex, fast-moving, and full of risks as ours, we all need access to the best minds.

That is why we have created the leading network for expert podcasts on the issues of the day you

care about. We go in depth on politics, the law,

national security, foreign policy, intelligence, defense, climate, and new technologies with regular and special guests that are the leading

voices in their fields.

We also offer daily updates on global news, our DSR daily, and on a key story of the day

through our partnership with the new republic.

That is why over a million times a month people like you choose to spend time with our hosts and guests.

Membership is what supports this.

And members get special benefits including bonus

content in virtually all of our podcasts. It's a big deal and it's a good deal.

Our monthly membership price is going to go up for the first time in our history on March 1st.

So now is the time you can lock in our founders rate of just five dollars a month. To do so, go to the

DSR Network.com and click on membership. It's that easy, but don't delay.

Today's rates will only be available for a few more weeks.

Join us, support us. Go to the DSR Network.com right now. Thank you.

This is above average intelligence, a production of the DSR network.

Each week hosts Mark Polymeropolis and David Rothkoff

are joined by leading experts from the intelligence community

for expert analysis on the biggest security challenges around the world. The world. Welcome to the podcast, I'm Mark Polymeroplus and this is DSR's above average intelligence show.

Used to be called The Spy Show. We have changed the name.
