It's Wednesday, March 11th, 2026, and welcome back to Goodfellas,
a Hoover Institution broadcast examining history, economics, and geopolitics.
I'm Bill Whalen.
I'm a Hoover Distinguished Policy Fellow, and I'll be your moderator today.
Looking forward to a conversation featuring our three regulars, the Goodfellas, as we call them.
I'm referring, of course, to the historian, Sir Neil Ferguson,
the economist, John Cochrane,
and former presidential national security advisor, Lieutenant General H.R.
McMaster.
Neil John and H.R.
are all Hoover senior fellows.
So gentlemen, be on your best behavior today because...
as we are joined by the boss.
I'm referring, of course, to the director of the Hoover Institution,
former presidential national security advisor, former US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice.
Condi, great to see you.
Great to be with you.
