Clark (ret.) is a businessman\, educator\, writer and commentator. \nGeneral Clark serves as Chairman and CEO of Wesley K. Clark & Associates\, a strategic consulting firm; Chairman and Founder of Enverra\, Inc. a licensed investment bank; Chairman of Energy Security Partners\, LLC; as well as numerous corporate boards including BNK Petroleum and Leagold Mining.  He is active in energy\, including oil and gas\, biofuels\, electric power and batteries\, finance\, and security.

He graduated first in his class at West Point and completed degrees in Philosophy\, Politics and Economics at Oxford University (B.A. and M.A.) as a Rhodes scholar. While serving in Vietnam\, he commanded an infantry company in combat\, where he was severely wounded and evacuated home on a stretcher. He later commanded at the battalion\, brigade and division level\, and served in a number of significant staff positions\, including service as the Director\, Strategic Plans and Policy (J-5). He was the principal author of both the US National Military Strategy and Joint Vision 2010\, prescribing US warfighting for full-spectrum dominance.

He has also been awarded the Department of State Distinguished Service Award and numerous honorary doctorates and civilian honors. \n\n \nGovernor Larry Hogan\nGovernor of the State of Maryland \nMaryland Governor Larry Hogan is not a career politician. He spent nearly his entire career as a small businessman. Fed up with high taxes\, politics as usual\, and decades of a one-party monopoly\, he started Change Maryland\, the largest non-partisan grassroots citizen organization in state history. In 2014\, out-numbered in party registration by more than 2-1\, and outspent by more than 5-1\, Governor Hogan pulled off the biggest upset in America to become only the second Republican Governor elected in Maryland in 50 years. \nGovernor Hogan quickly got to work and set an example for the nation\, accomplishing what many believed was no longer possible: reaching across the aisle\, and working together to achieve real bipartisan\, common sense solutions. He eliminated the $5.1 billion deficit and cut taxes four years in a row. Under his leadership\, Maryland produced one of the greatest economic turnarounds of any state in the nation. Governor Hogan also accomplished innovative health care solutions and made historic investments in education\, transportation infrastructure\, and in protecting the environment. \nAfter four years of economic success and bipartisan progress – in one of the bluest states in America – Governor Hogan was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2018 to a second term\, making him only the second Republican to do so in the entire 243 year history of the state. His cross-party appeal is evident in polls\, which consistently shows an overwhelming majority of all Republicans\, Democrats and Independents – nearly 80% of all Marylanders – approve of the job he is doing\, which is the highest of any governor in Maryland history. He recently served as Chairman of the National Governors Association\, leading the nation’s governors during the COVID-19 pandemic. National rankings consistently show Governor Hogan as one of the most popular governors in America. \n\n\nAbout Our Moderator \n \nRob Quirk\nAnchor/Moderator \nRob Quirk is an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist.
