Welcome to Frankly, a new weekly dive into national security issues with hosts Chip Franklin and former assistant director of the FBI and MSNBC contributor Frank Figliuzzi.
On this premier episode we are joined by David Sanger, a Pulitzer-prize winning chief Washington correspondent for the New York times. He's also author of The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age as well as his new book, New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West.
David tells us what he thinks the greatest national security threat to the US is today, and which country it might come from. The chilling answer is probably not what you would expect.
We discuss the implications of the latest pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the country, what the delay in passing Ukraine aid means for the war and our global standing, and compare two very different visions of international policy between the candidates for President.
We also talk with David about Chinese threats to our infrastructure, evolving attempts by multiple adversaries to interfere in our elections, and the highly elevated current risk of a terror attack on US soil.
David tells us China and Russia have evolved in their interference techniques, and are now amplifying real stories to lure you into their fake news accounts.
You won't want to miss this deep dive into the state of American national security.
