Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Simone Ledeen joins Shawn to deliver an unfiltered critique of America’s intelligence community, the roots of political indoctrination in elite universities, and the fallout from decades of Middle East policy failures. From her firsthand experience in Iraq and the Pentagon to explosive insight on Iran, Israel, and the intelligence failures around 9/11 and the Iraq War, Ledeen exposes the deep dysfunction she witnessed throughout her career. This hard-hitting conversation also touches on the Afghanistan withdrawal, Iran’s nuclear threat, and the dangers of politicized analysis inside U.S. agencies.
