Jake Tapper On National Security, Terrorism & Trump's Competence

On this week’s episode of Black Man Spy, Malcolm Nance speaks with Jake Tapper, CNN host and author of the new book "Race Against Terror: Chasing an Al Qaeda Killer at the Dawn of the Forever War." They discuss the capture and prosecution of Al-Qaeda operative Spin Ghul by U.S. intelligence and the Justice Department, the challenge of dismantling terrorist networks, and the current state of national security under President Trump. Plus, how the guardrails meant to limit his presidential power are eroding and how the classification of "terrorist" has shifted to include civil disobedience protesters.
