It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war. Now a daily show, it's evolved into a chronicle of collapse as it happens, and an exploration of how we might build a better future. Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.

It Could Happen Here

The gang discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Epstein birthday book, an ICE raid of a Hyundai plant in Georgia, the DOJ's consideration of a trans gun ban, and an update on the Cop City RICO case.
