PETER PRY, Executive Director, Task Force on National and Homeland Security, Director, U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, Former Member, Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, the House Armed Services Committee, and the CIA

• Dr. Peter Vincent Pry talks about the likelihood of nuclear war between the United States, its allies and Vladimir Putin’s Russia: “On February 27…Vladimir Putin, the dictator of Russia, announced that he was putting his nuclear forces on a ‘special combat alert’ and then went down into one of the deep underground shelters…”

• Pry talks about the vulnerabilities facing America’s dwindling missile defense system and nuclear triad: “Our own triad is so obsolete. The delivery systems and the warheads themselves are more than 30 years old…many of our scientists who designed those nuclear weapons are concerned about whether they would actually work after 30 years without testing…”

BEN WEINGARTEN, Senior Contributor, The Federalist, Author, “American Ingrate” @bhweingarten

• Ben Weingarten talks about the prospects of a renewed nuclear deal between the United States and Iran: “I think simply put Iran deal 2.0 will be Iran deal 1.0 on steroids. It appears that one of the major stipulations of this agreement will be removing the terrorism designation from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the jihadist army of Iran.”
