David Frum Reflects on 9/11 From Inside the White House
On The David Frum Show, Atlantic staff writer and WWSG speaker David Frum marks the 25th anniversary of September 11 with a deeply personal conversation about what it was like inside the White House as the attacks unfolded. Frum is joined by John McConnell, his former colleague in the George W. Bush administration and longtime speechwriter for President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Together, they recall the confusion surrounding the attacks, the evacuation of the White House, the uncertainty facing government officials, and the extraordinary challenge of communicating with the American public during a national crisis.
Frum and McConnell also examine President Bush’s response in the days following the attacks and the ways September 11 reshaped American leadership, national security, and foreign policy. Frum closes the episode with a discussion of Philip Roth’s American Pastoral, using the novel to explore domestic radicalization, political violence, and the freedoms and vulnerabilities inherent in American society.
Drawing on his firsthand White House experience and decades of political analysis, David Frum offers audiences a rare combination of historical perspective, political insight, and compelling storytelling. His ability to connect pivotal moments in American history with the challenges facing leaders today makes him a powerful voice for conferences and organizations seeking thoughtful conversations about politics, democracy, leadership, and global affairs.
