So the Havana syndrome type weapons have existed since the 50s. The Insurrection Act allows the president to use military force inside the United States of America.
We are looking at war that will happen in the blink of an eye.
It specifically addresses what a threat space is in terms of nuclear weaponry.
So after Venezuela, there's this clip going around with Jack Ryan where he is. He's in a classroom. He's like, tell me the biggest threat to the United States. And I think the Western Hemisphere, they might he might have even said the world. And everybody has a suggestion. And he says Venezuela. And and that clip was going around like, look at this. This is magic. Look, I mean, you know, it's like The Simpsons. But you were one of the consultants on that. You were one of them that said, no, Venezuela. Why did you say that?
Well, also, to be clear, I wasn't just a consultant. I was in that writer's room every day, day in and day out. Ryan's season one and season two. Wow. And it was like and, you know, it's a collaborative effort, by the way. It's not that. You know, we're all working together to figure out the best the best storyline. But the actual capture, the assault, the compound was something that I brought in a bunch of, you know, air quotes, former military folks. Help the writers room understand how we could portray that kind of a of a killer capture mission authentically. And that's obviously what we did.
And so you wrote a book about killing capture. But the rest of the world and and I think this probably even goes to military people. were shocked by how that went down. I mean, it puts America in a different place militarily speaking, I think. It shows maybe we have things that nobody understands and we're far more advanced than what anybody thought. How shocked were you at how that went down?
Well, I was shocked for a very different reason. And I think for me, I'm always looking at the technical aspects of things in terms of the military equipment and the planning, what's called. And then also how it sits in. In the long line of history, meaning militaries and the CIA's kill or capture missions since the invention of the seat or rather the the sort of CIA became an organization after World War Two and dealt with organizations like Delta Force. So to me, that's what's shocking is how it's absolutely changing.
What parallels does Annie Jacobsen draw between 'Jack Ryan' and real-world events in Venezuela?
And, you know, we can get into the details of that because that's what I've
So I do want to get into that because the one thing I. I hate the things the CIA has done. Much of it is good, but a lot of it is not good. And I think a lot of the world hates us because we'll we have had these policies of we're going to just depose somebody and we're going to pick the next person for you.
How does the Insurrection Act empower the president in times of crisis?
And so the idea of self-rule and everything else, it just becomes this is America's guy. And. That hasn't worked out well for us many times. And it's very short term thinking. And I've always hated that. What I liked about this and also at the same time simultaneously disliked is that we didn't topple the regime. The vice president who, you know, duly elected or not, she's not a fan of the United States. She's not like our pick.
