You might know Spencer from his reporting for The Daily Beast, WIRED, The Guardian, and The New Republic. He's also the author of a brand new book called Reign Of Terror: How The 9/11 Era Destabilized America And Produced Trump.

We're also going to talk about the American withdrawal from Afghanistan and whether the chaos was inevitable.
