How 9/11 Reshaped the Government

Watch bonus content with Lisa Monaco & Ken Wainstein

Claudia Hernández is the Lead Producer for the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast.

In this bonus segment from the Stay Tuned podcast, exclusively for paid subscribers, Preet, Lisa Monaco and Ken Wainstein discuss how the 9/11 attacks sparked the creation of government entities such as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Plus, how must the government adapt to confront today’s evolving threats?

Monaco: “We weren’t structured appropriately. We had silos that terrorists exploited.”

Wainstein: “DHS…was born of a recognition that we need to do more to harden the homeland as a target. We need to pull together and rationalize the efforts of a variety of different agencies who have a different mandate or different part of a mandate to protect the homeland.”
