Explaining the New Anarchy, with Adrienne LaFrance

Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes: "Authoritarians conjure existential threats from an ever-expanding roster of enemies —immigrants, Jews, and leftists among them" so Trump's visit to a gun shop to admire a customized "Trump 45" Glock was inevitable.

Kimberly Atkins Stohr, senior opinion columnist for the Boston Globe and co-host of the SisterInLaw podcast, joins Rick Wilson on The Enemies List. Rick and Kimberly dissect the media's (mis)handling of the Trump indictments and the looming national political crisis.

Rick Wilson talks with Barbara Walter, author of "How Civil Wars Start: And How To Stop Them." They discuss conditions that lead to modern civil wars, the role of ethnic entrepreneurs, and political polarization vs political violence.

Mary Trump joins Ken to talk about national trauma and generational trauma. From COVID to mass shootings and so much in between, America is a traumatized nation that must come to terms with events to move past them. Mary's latest book, The Reckoning, talks about finding ways to heal.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat warns that the authoritarian movement in the GOP is using one of the most destructive tactics of history's ugliest regimes.
