Cleared for Discussion Podcast | Episode 61 | Petticoats on the Clothesline

In this episode, Tabetha Baume explores the critical role American women play in protecting their families, communities, and country, connecting the security of the American home to the broader security of the nation. She examines foreign influence operations, local government involvement, threats targeting families, online exploitation, civic education, and historical examples of women recognizing risks and taking action when traditional institutions could not. Her key message is that an informed and engaged citizen is a powerful security control, and that women can strengthen national security by educating their families, understanding their rights and government, participating in local civic life, and remaining vigilant against threats that increasingly reach Americans through their homes and communities.
