Data Check: What the Stats Really Say About Political Violence

Data Check: What the Stats Really Say About Political Violence

Michael sits down with Cato Institute Vice President for Economic and Social Policy Studies Alex Nowrasteh to unpack hard data on politically motivated violence—who commits it, how often it happens, and what the numbers really show since 1975, and in a refocused set since 2020. A rigorous, nonpartisan, “stats over spin” conversation that challenges assumptions, separates outliers like 9/11, and puts recent headlines in context. Perfect for listeners who want facts, not fury. Original air date 16 September 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
