The UnWoke Show Season 4, Episode 200: 25 Years After 9/11: America Is More Afraid of Itself?

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, Americans are no longer primarily afraid of foreign terrorists. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that most Americans now consider domestic extremists the greater ideological threat. In this milestone 200th episode, we examine how 9/11 transformed America—creating new security agencies, expanding government surveillance, and launching wars that lasted for decades. We also revisit the extraordinary national unity that followed the attacks and ask how a country once united against a foreign enemy became increasingly afraid of itself. Did 9/11 unite America—only for 25 years of politics, war, and fear to turn Americans against one another?   Show Notes https://www.reuters.com/world/us/25-years-after-911-americans-fear-domestic-extremists-more-than-foreign-attacks-2026-09-08/ https://www.911memorial.org/connect/commemoration https://www.911memorial.org/learn/resources/911-primer/module-1-events-day   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591818194574   Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698\ https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback [email protected]
