In this episode of "Hot Wash" host John Sorensen speaks with authors and national security experts Andrew Hoehn and Thom Shanker about their new book, “Age of Danger: Keeping America Safe in an Era of New Superpowers, New Weapons, and New Threats.” Shanker and Hoehn examine the "Warning Machine" and the "Action Machine" in the National Security and Defense apparatus.
