I sat down with investigative journalist and author Richard Miniter to reflect on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Richard has spent decades reporting national security and foreign policy issues and has interviewed Islamist radicals, intelligence officials, and others across the globe. We get into:

• Why political radicalism and terrorism attract elites

• How Western life radicalized Mohamed Atta and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

• Osama Bin Laden's trajectory from construction tycoon heir to jihadist

• How terror cells use hazing intermarriage to lock in commitment

• The problem with Ron Paul's "blowback" theory of Islamic terrorism

• How bureaucratic turf wars left America vulnerable on 9/11

• The PATRIOT Act and the limits of 4th Amendment rights
