From The Archives: A 2008 Conversation With Barbara Walters
A conversation from the archives with Barbara Walters about her 2008 memoir "Audition," a story of family challenges, celebrity gossip and blazing a trail in TV news.
A new book imagines four scenarios that lay out how a civil war could start in the United States.
How close is the United States to civil war? A few years ago, this question would have been laughed off. But after the events of January 6th, the idea of widespread political violence in the United Staes has become much more imaginable.
In fact, nearly half of American adults think another civil war is not only possible, but likely.
Canadian journalist Stephen Marche considers this question in a new book, “The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future.” He calls it a work of speculative nonfiction, exploring scenarios that expose the kind of friction that could unleash wider chaos.
Over the last six years, Marche crisscrossed the country, spoke to militia members, interviewed experts, and now he joins Diane to talk about what he learned — and why he thinks imagining an American civil war is not only useful, but necessary.
