Views: 666

Our guest this week is former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. We discussed his time as CIA Director during the first term of the Obama Administration and the process of transitioning the agency from one presidency to another. We also spoke about his advice for new Secretary of Defense, retired General James Mattis, the changes he’s seen during the nearly 40 years he’s spent in politics, and the importance of the President getting honest – often unvarnished – advice from his cabinet members and his White House staff.
