Democratic Congressman Jim Himes is the ranking member on the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, with oversight of U.S.
intelligence agencies, including the CIA and the NSA. He’s also one
of the most outspoken members of Congress advocating for supporting
Ukraine against Russia’s invasion. Guest host and foreign affairs
journalist Indira Lakshmanan spoke with Himes about his recent
meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Republican
leaders block a vote on a $60 billion aid package to Kyiv, and with
Yulia Navalnaya, wife of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, just as
she learned of her husband’s suspicious death in a Russian gulag.
Himes discusses the global competition between democracy and
autocracy and says there's one decision for the United States—"Do
we shrink from that fight?" He calls Donald Trump a "cult leader"
whose hold over the Republican Party is dangerous to democracy and
global stability. Indira and One Decision’s resident spymaster,
former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove, discuss the Congressman's
comments on the threat of Russia deploying a nuclear weapon in
space, the massive growth in open-source intelligence, and threats
to security from internet-connected technologies.
