About this episode
Every feel like you're living inside a washing machine in the middle of the spin cycle? We hope it's not because you have a Tide pod in your mouth. Instead, if you're like the typical Deep State Radio listener its because you have a fairly acute addiction to cable news and social media. We'd cure it if we could. But for now, the best we can do is help you manage it by talking about the very latest news including the Twitter-firing of Rex Tillerson and everything it triggered with a great group of experts including Ambassador Nicholas Burns of Harvard, Kori Schake of the IISS, Evelyn Farkas of the Atlantic Council and Ed Luce of the Financial Times. Don't miss it.
