Andrew Rice on The Year That Broke America

Mike talks with Andrew Rice, a contributing editor at New York magazine, former staff writer at The Hill, and the author of the recently published book The Year That Broke America: An Immigration Crisis, a Terrorist Conspiracy, the Summer of Survivor, a Ridiculous Fake Billionaire, a Fight for Florida, and the 537 Votes That Changed Everything, which is the topic of their discussion. Things Mike & Andrew get into include: - Why 2000 was the year that broke America - Donald Trump’s first (failed) presidential run - the story of Elián González and how it divided America - how John McCain broke Mike’s (and the media’s) heart - terrorist preparations for 9/11 - Al Gore & Chaos Theory - the insanely close, and incredibly chaotic 2000 presidential election - what looking back at 2000 can tell us about American politics today Andrew Rice on Twitter The Politics Guys on Facebook | Twitter Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.
