Scott speaks with Barbara F. Walter, professor at UC San Diego and author of How Civil Wars Start, about what the Charlie Kirk assassination reveals about America’s political future. They discuss how leaders exploit crises, why the U.S. is at higher risk of civil unrest, and how social media and young men fit into the rise of political violence. Barbara also shares what can be done to strengthen democracy and reduce the risk of conflict.
