An Answer to Violent Extremism

American politics have hit a fever pitch.

In the wake of events such as the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, President Joe Biden’s choice not to run for reelection, and the announcement of the Harris-Walz ticket, we’re revisiting a fan-favorite episode on political polarization. This conversation with Elizabeth Neumann, the former assistant secretary for counterterrorism and threat prevention at the Department of Homeland Security, covers radicalization, online discourse, and where to find hope.
