Fmr. CIA Director John Brennan: An Undaunted Perspective | Full Interview

John Brennan, former CIA Director and MSNBC National Security Commentator, joins Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi on this episode of Intergenerational Politics to talk about the security risk facing our nation — from threats at home as well as from abroad — and how to deal best with those threats. We also discuss his new and highly relevant book, “Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemy At Home and Abroad.”

John previously served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency and was one of President Obama's most trusted national security advisors for the full Obama Administration. Before becoming Director in 2013, Brennan worked in the CIA from 1980 to 2005 specializing in Middle Eastern affairs and counterterrorism. He then started a consulting firm, before returning as Obama’s Homeland Security Advisor from 2009 to 2013 and then served as CIA director until 2017. This means he has served 3 Republican and 3 Democratic administrations. Since leaving government in 2017, he has been a very visible and vocal commentator on national security for MSNBC and wrote, “Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemy At Home and Abroad.”

Always enjoy hearing from John Brennan, especially over the past 6 years. He’s a true public servant with much wisdom & life lessons to share that everyone can learn from. What’s admirable is that he’s honest, brave, eager to share & speak out, even when many object or disagree with him.

Whereas institutional and organizational failures led to 9-11, January 6th was driven by a whole host of institutional, organizational, and [but mainly] social failures. How do you solve a problem of that scope? How do you even begin to address it when nearly half of the country don't even think that it was a problem? I don't think resolving issues around 01/06 is as simple as too many people make it seem.

[richardgarcia]

Biden should assign Brennan to lead the commission on Jan 6th.

Copy paste a serviciului român de informații am fost director ✋🏻, a-ți rămas uluiți când am ridicat mâna " nu vreau probleme" semn de întrebare am citit pe chipurile voastre și nedumerire are ceva asta de la o posta sa vedem ce știe, ți-ai schimbat dantura mihai de mancai semințe la scara blocului cu Ion și Loredana a? A-ți făcut mizerie scuipai cu încredere pe jos și maioul ăla albastru nu t-e prindea bine deloc că ești mai închis la culoare, iți trebuia un maioul verde sa te asortezi cu mine, de-aia intelligence nu este pentru toți și toate agențiile de informații din întreaga lume 🎉😊 și încă mai sunt director general 🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️
