What will President Donald J. Trump’s foreign policy look like in his second term? Does it make sense for the president-elect to consistently rail against “stupid, endless wars” and then nominate Florida Senator Marco Rubio–a neoconservative with great sympathy for endless wars–as Secretary of State?

In the latest episode of the “National Insecurity” podcast, we discuss Trump’s top national security nominations for his next administration, disagreements between Trump and establishment Republicans on America’s role in the world and the proper approach to Ukraine and Russia, as well as schisms within the Make America Great Again Movement on how to deal with China.

Ying Ma and cohost Doug Bandow of The Cato Institute chat with Jacob Heilbrunn, editor of The National Interest, and Tom Switzer, executive director of the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney.

Listen to the episode on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Enjoy!
