Technology, Defense, and American-Chinese Competition

Chris, Zack, and Melanie sit down to talk about a new article by
Eric Schmidt on whether the United States can win an innovation
race with China. Where is the United States ahead and where is it
behind in the tech competition? How should the U.S. government
work with private enterprise to maximize defense innovation and
procurement? Can the United States overcome obstacles, many
self-imposed, to accelerate and sharpen innovative enterprises?


Chris congratulates Dr. Elizabeth Samet for a book well done,
Zack is unhappy about possible leaks of American intelligence
assessments about the Ukraine war, and Melanie congratulates
Congress for doing its job.
