In this episode of The David Frum Show, David opens with a response
to a listener’s question about working-class wages, unpacking the
economic storylines that have shaped American politics over the
last 40 years. In his answer, David challenges the idea that
grievance politics are always rooted in material decline. David is
then joined by Ambassador Susan Rice for a sweeping conversation on
the disintegration of national-security processes under Trump. They
discuss the implications of “Signalgate,” the absence of a
full-time national security adviser, and the staggering
national-security risks posed by a $400 million jet gifted by
Qatar. Rice offers a sobering look at what the breakdown of
structure and accountability means for America’s alliances,
adversaries, and the rule of law. Get more from your favorite
