Description	Philip Taubman discusses his book, “Secret Empire.” He begins by explaining the United States’ use of satellite spies during the Cold War. He describes his interest in writing this book: he covered intelligence journalism at The New York Times and much of the data he was working with came from these spy satellites. Taubman discusses how President Lyndon Johnson was glad that so much money was spent on satellites because it saved the US billions of dollars in weapons. He talks about satellites that can pick up pieces of terrorist conversations. Taubman ends the interview by discussing the CIA’s recruiting policy, and how they are pushing to get younger and more diverse recruits.
