How 9/11 changed American politics forever
Summary
Hosts Jerusalem Dempis and Matthew Glacias discuss the 25th anniversary of 9/11, analyzing how specific contingencies and early policy decisions altered world history. They contrast the Bush administration’s measured, civil-libertarian response with a hypothetical Trump-era reaction, noting how the former avoided racial profiling despite significant public fear. The episode also examines the 9/11 Commission’s findings on intelligence failures and questions whether Osama bin Laden’s ideological goals were actually achieved by the ensuing wars.
