dangerous not to have one, and dangerous to have one that had become as bureaucratized and politicized as the current CIA.
And he really believed in men and women who worked for the CIA, but he wanted to effectively eliminate it as we currently know it, and to recreate a new, what he called the new OSS.
and to have it be a much smaller organization, much more nimble, much more effective and fully operational to defend the country.
Because he believed, as he says throughout the book, that the goal of the CIA was to make sure that Americans could go to sleep at night, knowing that there were men and women in the CIA making sure that the monsters around the world were not capable of taking away our freedom.
That's how he wrote.
That's how he spoke.
I think his writing is among the most brilliant you're going to find from any national security practitioner.
And even though he's gone, he lives on in his writings and especially those books we've mentioned today.
He wrote a great book called Willful Neglect about homeland security here in the United States.
And those books really do form a very coherent
national security policy and domestic policy that Americans should be finding useful today.

You will find literally dozens and dozens of webinars that featured Sam Faddis on that website.
We were very proud to have him.
He was always the MVP of all that.
And personally, I'm at Brian T. Kennedy on Getter and Brian T. Kennedy 1 on X. Thank you, Steve.
You know, Steve, I think this is just huge.
This will be one of the big issues that the president is going to have to deal with in the days and weeks ahead.
