Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day’s most important and pressing issues.

In this episode, we devote the entire hour to a conversation with Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, 26th US National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump from 2017 – 2018.

What exactly does national security involve? What are the current threats we face today? Lt. Gen. McMaster and Ernie dive into those questions, as well as an in-depth discussion of China, Russia and South Korea. Plus, he talks about themes of historical memory and strategic narcissism from his new book Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World.
