Sources & Methods: Two wars escalate abroad, political violence at home
13 september 2025 · 27 min
Today, we're sharing another episode from NPR's newest podcast, Sources & Methods.

NPR correspondents stationed around the world also join the conversation. Lees meer
This episode, national security correspondent Greg Myre and domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef join Mary Louise Kelly discuss how U.S. national security changed after the September 11th attacks.

And did a focus on militant Islamism mean turning away from threats posed by white supremacist groups?
And Senator Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, argues that America’s political division is its greatest national security threat — and the best defense is rebuilding the middle class.
