Is America Heading to a Second Civil War? 2022 Update
Air Date: - Season 3 - Episode 29 | A few years ago, people would have laughed at those who spoke of a Second Civil War. Today, no one is laughing. More and more people are asking if it is possible—both in public and in private.

What can accelerate it? What can slow it down? Democratic political strategist Josh Block and civil rights attorney Nathan Lewin join Edwin.Show Topics: American Society
