The Global Cable, Migration, Power & Security “You cannot solve the problem by putting up a wall”: Tackling real security threats with Richard Clarke

Is the threat at the Southern Border really as severe as President Trump claims it to be? On this episode of ‘The Global Cable’, our Director Bill Burke-White sits down with national security expert Richard Clarke to find out.

A University of Pennsylvania graduate, Clarke served in the federal government for 30 years, rising to become National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection and Counter-Terrorism and a member of the National Security Council. He is currently the Chairman and CEO of Good Harbor Security Management, working with governments across the world to advise them on risk.

While in recent months the migration crisis at the United States’ Southern border has dominated the news agenda, Burke-White and Clarke discuss the new developments that Clarke feels actually put the United States at risk. In a world where data can cross borders more easily than people – with espionage in the tech sector, and the threat of cyber-attack – the two talk about ways the United States can ensure its security.
