Mike talks with Andrew Rice, a contributing editor at New York magazine, former staff writer at The Hill, and the author of the recently published book The Year That Broke America: An Immigration Crisis, a Terrorist Conspiracy, the Summer of Survivor, a Ridiculous Fake Billionaire, a Fight for Florida, and the 537 Votes That Changed Everything, which is the topic of their discussion.

Things Mike & Andrew get into include:

- Why 2000 was the year that broke America

- Donald Trump’s first (failed) presidential run

- the story of Elián González and how it divided America

- how John McCain broke Mike’s (and the media’s) heart

- terrorist preparations for 9/11

- Al Gore & Chaos Theory

- the insanely close, and incredibly chaotic 2000 presidential election

- what looking back at 2000 can tell us about American politics today
