Erin, Radha, and Loren make it back to the Show (where we never handle our own luggage), welcoming back all-star guest Kori Schake to talk NSC turnover, civil-military relations, and everything else that's radical in a tubular kind of way.\xa0 We break down Kim Jong-Un's super-secret trip to\xa0Beijing\xa0and note that when the\xa0Saudi Crown Prince showed up for his two week tour of America, not all welcomes were\xa0warm. Meanwhile, VA Secretary Shulkin is out (sometimes you win), the president's personal doctor is in\xa0(sometimes you lose); and DoD tries to square the circle on the transgender ban (sometimes it rains). We\xa0substitute basketball for pop-culture, with predictable consequences.\xa0Oh, and when you speak of us, speak well.\xa0
