Do You Ever Wonder...The Hallmark Abstract Service Podcast

National Security Expert And Heritage Visiting Fellow Steven Bucci Visits Do You Ever Wonder!

Michael Haltman/Steven Bucci Season 4 Episode 3

Do You Ever Wonder About The State Of United States National Security?

We had the opportunity to speak with Steven Bucci on the subject, a man who is uniquely qualified to opine based on his incredible government and military resume...

  • U.S. Army Colonel (ret),  spending 28-years in the Special Forces,
  • Cybersecurity expert in the private sector with companies such as IBM and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
  • Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the George W. Bush administration,
  • Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld,
  • Currently a security consultant in the private sector, and a Visiting Fellow at The Heritage Foundation leading the Foreign Policy, Homeland Security, and Defense Team.

In other words, Steven Bucci is an expert and completely fluent in the areas of homeland security, defense, cybersecurity, terrorism, and geopolitics.

Prior to our discussion we had a list of nine global issues to speak about but, because we were constrained by time and still went to 42 minutes, we barely got through four of them.

  • The first topic, given that Steven Bucci is a former Deputy Secretary of Defense, is a  discussion concerning the disappearance of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin at a time when the world is on fire!
  • We spoke about the old cliche of 'What keeps you up at night' given the plethora of issues facing the United States and the world.
  • Of course the southern border was discussed, given the fact that it is an open portal for anyone in the world who wants to cross over. This means it's an issue of incoming deadly drugs, potential diseases, people with criminal records, and individuals on the terror watch list. Not to mention the human tragedy facing women and children.
  • We spoke about the crisis in the Middle East centered around Israel, and whether leadership in the U.S. is sending the right message with our military reaction.
  • The last subject that we spoke about is the potential for the U.S. energy grid to be shut down by cybercriminals or an EMP attack.

Steven can be seen on many news shows, and we plan to have him back on Do You Ever Wonder soon to cover the rest of the issues facing the country!
