A Four-Star General on Why America Isn't as Safe as You Think | General Wesley Clark
Most Americans assume the United States can't be touched. General Wesley Clark — former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, four-star general, and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient — explains why that assumption is dangerously outdated.
In this episode of Lunch with Jamie, General Clark breaks down a Navy that's shrunk from 600 ships to under 300, a nuclear deterrent that's aging out, and a grid so dependent on chips that a single high-altitude detonation could kill 80% of Americans within six months. He also gets into Iran, North Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, and why he believes national service might be the fix for more than just the military.
38 years in the Army. Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart. There are few people better positioned to make sense of this moment.
