Sure, it’s gone out of vogue with the current administration, which all too often treats civil servants as the enemy, but expertise matters, especially if you believe in democracy. I was incredibly fortunate to spend time this morning with two dedicated public servants: President Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and his Deputy National Security Advisor, Jon Finer. Their deep knowledge of national security issues helped bring clarity to the evolving situation with Venezuela. If you missed us live, you can watch the video or read the transcript in this post. Many thanks to Jake and Jon for making time for us. Jake and Jon have a new podcast, The Long Game, that you’ll want to subscribe to. Their first episodes include a look at whether we’re handing over the keys to AI dominance to China and a discussion of how Trump fared in his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince MBS. They bring a much-needed national security focus to our understanding of the present moment. We’ll undoubtedly remain focused on developments in Venezuela this coming week. On Monday at 4 pm ET, Virginia Senator Mark Warner, Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, will join us to discuss the Senate response to the strike in Venezuela and whether Congressional action is a realistic possibility. Make sure you’re subscribed to Civil Discourse so you get notified when we go live, and drop your questions for the Senator in the comments.
