My guest today is John Rendon, one of the world’s thought leaders in international and military affairs. John began his career in Democratic Party politics with George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign. He later served as the Executive Director and Political Director of the Democratic National Committee and managed President Carter's 1980 Democratic convention in New York.


Today, John is considered to be the world’s leading pioneer in the use of strategic communications as an element of national power and one of the first thought leaders to harness the power of emerging technologies in support of real-time information management. He has served as an executive communications consultant to the White House, the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Security community, and to the leadership of Fortune 500 companies. 


In today’s episode, we tapped John’s knowledge to break down the War in Ukraine, its impact on the European community, and the growing nexus between Russia and China. We also discussed the upcoming midterm elections and theoretical matchups for the 2024 Presidential election that include how Liz Cheney’s entrance into the race would increase the likelihood of another Trump Presidency.
