pepe and larry discuss a few items you may find interesting and then judge napolitano leads another conversation so dig in if you are curious;

Before I delve into my chat with Pepe Escobar, I want to give you a heads up. I will be interviewing another old friend on Friday — J. Lawrence Cunningham aka Larry. Larry is a retired Secret Service agent who protected eight Presidents. But he is just not your run-of-the-mill retired guy. While with the Secret Service he was involved in setting up training protocols, including the physical fitness qualifications. Unfortunately, the current Secret Service abandoned those standards. For example, under Larry’s protocol, an aspiring Secret Service agent had to run 1 ½ miles in 12 minutes. Today? The standard is 20 minutes. Since the assassination attempt, Larry’s phone has been ringing off the hook with agents — active and retired — reaching out to him. I think you will find it enlightening.

Pepe and I only met in person 8 months ago, but we connected immediately as kindred souls. Pepe is a brilliant journalist and has a unmatched global reach. There is no pretension and no ego with Pepe. He is one of the most grounded people I know. So I was thrilled when he agreed to do a virtual sit-down with me. We discussed the international reaction to the attempt to murder Donald Trump and then had a detailed discussion about the emerging multi-nodal world (aka multi-polar) and implications for the future.
