This is a fascinating discussion featuring nationally recognized experts in their respective fields. Despite disagreeing politically, these experts tend to agree on our failure as a nation to act in its own best interests; and what might have worked instead.
What we learn in shows like this is, we let people far removed from the ground have too much influence on our decision making. Also, we see that politics are subordinate to professional expertise. We also learn that two smart dudes can have a chat that gets past personal and truly has national interests.
