In the wake of the January 6 insurrection, probably the most serious threat to our constitutional government since the Civil War, leaders of the FBI and law enforcement authorities have repeatedly warned that the threat of domestic grown terrorism is metastasizing. Are they overreacting to a momentary spasm of the body politic or does the danger to our democracy run deeper than previously acknowledged? The panel of experts address the question and discuss what the country can do to reinforce our democracy’s foundations.
Three distinguished guests join host Jane Whitney on the 8th episode of Common Ground.
- Rep. Elissa Slotkin, Former Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, US Congresswoman, (D) Michigan
- John Brennan, Former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
- Frank Figliuzzi, Former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence; NBC News National Security Contributor
