Summary

How has the threat landscape changed in recent years? On a new episode of Stay Tuned, Rebecca Weiner, the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism, joins Preet Bharara to discuss the evolving nature of terrorism and targeted violence—from ISIS and Iran-linked plotting to grievance-fueled attacks and online radicalization. They explore what Weiner calls an “everything, everywhere, all at once” threat environment and how law enforcement is adapting to increasingly fast-moving and unpredictable risks. Then, Preet answers listener questions about state laws required to fill Congressional vacancies, what options exist for reforming presidential pardon powers, and Supreme Court reform. In the bonus for Insiders, Weiner reflects on the personal roots of her career in national security and shares her advice for young people considering a path in public service.
