Infiltrating a Neo-Nazi Terror Group

Almost three years ago, an informant invited extremism and national security correspondent Ben Makuch into a secret phone call where members of a neo-Nazi terror group called The Base gathered to plan a civil war. Ben spent the next few years tracking every single move of The Base and the explosion of right wing terror groups in the United States. What he uncovered is revealed through his new podcast “American Terror” from VICE News and Gimlet, only on Spotify.
