In this week’s episode, The Pentagon, The Deep State, and the Future of American Power, Lee Smith is joined by former Pentagon strategist Adam Lovinger for an insider’s look at how decades of bureaucratic expansion, political capture, and ideological subversion have weakened America’s strategic edge.

Drawing on his experience in the Office of Net Assessment and the National Security Council, Lovinger explains how the U.S. defense establishment, once the guardian of national strength, has been overtaken by career bureaucrats, lawyers, and political appointees more concerned with process than victory. From the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan to the weaponization of intelligence during “Russiagate,” he exposes how the rise of the so-called Deep State has transformed the Pentagon from a center of strategy into a fortress of self-preservation.

This episode goes beyond military policy. It’s a warning about the dangers of a government that fears accountability more than defeat. Lovinger and Smith explore what real strategy demands: moral clarity, courage, and a return to first principles that place America’s preeminence and peace above political ambition.

The Pentagon, The Deep State, and the Future of American Power reveals why restoring national strength begins with restoring truth, and how America can still secure its future if it finds the will to lead again.

New episodes drop every Wednesday at 3 PM ET.
