Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent **John Nantz** joins Gary Melton on Dangerous Liberty for an inside look at domestic security, political violence, and the growing challenges facing American law enforcement.
With 26 years in law enforcement and more than two decades inside the FBI, Nantz brings an investigator’s perspective to some of the most difficult questions facing the country: How does political rhetoric cross the line into a credible threat? What warning signs do investigators look for before violence occurs? And how does law enforcement confront politically motivated violence without infringing on constitutionally protected speech and political dissent?
Gary and John examine the current domestic threat environment, political polarization, federal law enforcement, public trust in the FBI, national security, and whether America’s institutions are prepared for escalating political violence.
They’ll also discuss the changing direction of the FBI, the challenges facing agents on the ground, and what someone who spent decades inside federal law enforcement believes Americans should understand about the threats we may face next.
