“Nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought,” declared Reagan and Gorbachev at their summit in Geneva in 1985. Yet nuclear war, says journalist Annie Jacobsen, is an “existential threat that still looms over us all.” From the nuclear “football” to the “black book of death,” Annie sheds light on what former CIA director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says the American people “need to know.” When nations like Russia and China have a stockpile of nuclear weapons, Annie advises that it’s time to remember how to differentiate between enemies and adversaries in order to avoid nuclear winter and a potential return to the lifestyle of the hunter-gatherer. Glenn and Annie also discuss the covert Operation Paperclip that brought Nazi scientists to America, including “Hitler's favorite chemist,” and the CIA’s top-secret paramilitary operations. “No one knows who to trust,” says Glenn, and the scariest part is that we are all forced to put our trust in the one man who can launch American nuclear weapons any time he wants – President Joe Biden.
