About this episode

Don Yeske discusses his experiences in public service and the challenges facing the government today.

After more than two decades in uniform and public service, Don Yeske left his leadership post at the Department of Homeland Security over concerns that the moral core of government was being compromised. In this powerful conversation, he and Andy discuss the meaning of duty, the rule of law, the trauma within today’s federal workforce, and the lessons of Afghanistan that still haunt America’s conscience.
