Summary

Originally Aired: August 14, 2018 Nothing is more core to the life of the Deep State than marking documents classified. After all, if just anyone could read them, who'd want to? On the other hand, if documents are classified, they can't be shared which is a bit of a problem in the cyber era when our most important defenses may be in the private sector. What's a secret-loving country to do? The NY Times' David Sanger, Georgetown University's Rosa Brooks and IISS' Kori Schake discuss. (And, yes, they also discuss Omarosa and Peter Strzok and all that other mishigas as well. So tune in for goodness sake!) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The difference here, David, is that when people go and look at your cows and stuff, they're

driving around in VMWs and here we just use beaten up 1970s red pickup trucks.

1:23.1

Yeah, we're among the real people here.

1:26.6

Yeah, I know, the opioid crisis.

1:29.5

Okay, I like the distinction of David being among the real people, which subliminally suggests

1:35.9

he's actually not one.

More than, more than, more than subliminally, because he goes up to the country store and

says, see my red pickup, that's Harvard Crimson pickup.

Off, off in London, England, we have Corey Shaki, you're in London, England, right?
