Summary

Celebrating democracy seems like a good idea. Further, President Biden and his team have been actively supporting democracy worldwide since they took office. But that doesn't mean hosting a democracy summit is a great idea. Because a lot of difficult questions are raised. Like who thinks they're a democracy but really isn't? What do you do with wannabe authoritarians like Netanyahu, Modi & Lopez Obrador? And what long term results can come from these summits. We discuss with Kori Schake, Rosa Brooks and Ed Luce. Join us.

1:50.8	Good to see you. Good to see you. And at some point as often happens in these
2:08.5	podcasts, David Sanger will quite possibly make his way into this discussion. What I
2:16.6	wanted to talk about today is something that's happening today, which is the
2:21.6	democracy summit, or summit for democracies, as I think they're calling it, which is
