Do Our Leaders Morals Matter in a Crisis Like This?: Joe Nye, Harvard professor and formerly Dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, has a timely new book called "Do Morals Matter? Presidents and Foreign Policy from FDR to Trump" that serves as a jumping off point for our discussion of where we are in the current crisis, why we are here and what we can do better going forward. We have an exceptional group discussing these topics including Rosa Brooks of Georgetown Law, Kori Schake of the American Enterprise Institute, David Sanger of the New York Times and NY Congressional Candidate Evelyn Farkas. Special Bonus: In addition, this episode features a special one-on-one conversation with former USAID Administrator and former NSC official who was in the middle of the fight to contain ebola, Gayle Smith. It's the kind of in-depth perspectives on the global implications of the COVID-19 crisis you can only find at Deep State Radio. Join us.Support this sh by Deep State Radio

There were widespread calls for his resignation. Two years later, Mr. Northam has emerged as the most racially progressive leader in the state’s history. How did it happen? Guest: Astead W. Herndon, a national political reporter for The New York Times. by The Daily

We revisit a conversation from 2018 with a psychiatrist who is wrestling with that challenge. Guest: Dr. Amy Barnhorst, the vice chairwoman of community psychiatry at the University of California, Davis. by The Daily
