America's coming civil war
Listen now
Description
Barbara Walter has been part of a CIA task force looking at predictive models for where civil wars might break out around the world. As the task force looked closely at the data, they discovered that the two most predictive factors were well-established in America.    Barbara says the 2024 U.S. Presidential election is a genuine trigger for violence, and if the U.S. does not change its course, it could end up in a second civil war.   Malcolm talks to Barbara about what leads modern democracies toward violence and what can be done to avert a second civil war in the United States.   Available on Listnr  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
