12. A Hero's Perspective: National Security and Leadership with Tommy Waller

Author: Eskin Fundraising Training September 30, 2024 Duration: 21:25

In this episode, Jim Eskin salutes Tommy Waller, President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy, and a retired U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel. Waller reflects on his time in the military, his views on current national security threats, and the pressing issue of complacency in America regarding global dangers. He also shares the Center's mission to safeguard America by addressing both ideological and infrastructural threats, including their critical work on protecting the U.S. electric grid.

Key Takeaway:
Complacency is the greatest threat to national security today. To maintain safety, America must adopt a proactive stance, morally and intellectually, and remain vigilant to prevent future vulnerabilities both at home and abroad.
