In this compelling episode of Unconventional Times, host Richard Gordon continues his enlightening conversation with Tim Roemer—former U.S. Congressman, ambassador, and 9/11 Commission member. Roemer shares fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from his leadership in strengthening U.S.-India relations, tackling international security challenges, and navigating the ever-shifting landscape of American politics.
The discussion dives deep into the evolving partnership between the United States and India, addressing economic cooperation, strategic defense, the rising influence of China, and the complexities of global trade. Roemer also reflects on the key lessons learned from the 9/11 Commission and offers his take on current threats to national security, the intelligence community, and military leadership.
Richard and Tim don’t shy away from tough questions about partisan politics, the changing nature of Congress, and the urgent need for compromise and engagement in American democracy. Roemer passionately calls for new generations to step up, get involved, and bring fresh leadership to our political system.
