The Ross Kaminsky Show

Former Deputy Director, and twice Acting Director, of the CIA, Michael Morell, may join me in studio to talk about what's involved running the world's most famous spy agency. He may or may not comment on Trump's nominees for CIA Director (John Ratcliffe) or Director of National Intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard).Yes, Mr Morell is known by many for his signing the letter from former intelligence officials stating that the Hunter Biden laptop might have been Russian disinformation. (They didn't say it WAS, just that it could have been, but politically there was basically no difference.) Still, I know Morell as a guy who loves his country, who spent years protecting the nation, and who is politically centrist and unaffiliated.Michael Morell - Beacon Global StrategiesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Mix is president of the National Right to Work Committee. His group has been warning against a possible Trump nomination of Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR) as Secretary of Labor because she was one of only 3 Republicans to support the horrific "PRO Act" which is designed to strengthen labor unions and end right-to-work laws across the country. She served one term in Congress before losing re-election a few weeks ago.This weekend, Trump nominated Chavez-DeRemer for Labor Secretary. It's payback to the Teamsters for not endorsing anyone in the presidential race and it's a gift to the worst organizations (at least among organizations that aren't illegal) in America: teachers unions. It's hard to imagine a worse choice by a Republican president.Committee President to Trump: Don't Put Anti-Right to Work Congresswoman in Charge of Your Labor Department - NRTWCTrump’s Labor Choice: Unions Over Workers - WSJSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amelia Nierenberg is a London-based reporter for the NY Times. I was fascinated by her recent story of a woman who made her way into a prestigious organization of magicians by pretending to be a man, then was found out, kicked out...and disappeared.Magicians Mount Search for Woman Behind Decades-Old Deception - The New York Times (may require subscription)Another version of the story: The woman who tricked her way into the Magic Circle – then vanished into thin airSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
