Creating Community with Task Force Butler's Kris Goldsmith

Host Reed Galen is joined Kris Goldsmith, an accomplished public policy advocate, nonprofit leader, and expert on the threats posed by domestic extremist organizations against American democracy. He is the founder and CEO of Task Force Butler Institute, a nonprofit organization that trains veterans in research and operations to counter extremism, teaching the skills and context necessary to keep veterans and their communities safe as they gather intelligence on dangerous individuals and hate groups. Reed and Kris discuss the recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, why it's difficult to discuss domestic terrorism, and why building community, locally, and personally, is the most effective way to bring people back together, rebuild relationships, and get America back on the right path.
