John Gans

John Gans, former Pentagon speechwriter and author of "White House Warriors," dives into the unsettling state of America's national security bureaucracy. He discusses the overwhelming pressures faced by NSC staff and the influence of presidential time constraints on decision-making. Gans highlights how the NSC often excels at identifying problems but struggles with effective solutions. Intriguingly, he connects Shakespeare to improved policymaking and examines how modern tech tools have transformed strategic discussions in ways we might not expect.
