Kyle Serafin explains the concept of "training scars" at the FBI Academy, where agents are conditioned to view the public as a constant threat.

A producer joins the discussion to ask about "controlled opposition" and the paranoia within populist movements that leads allies to suspect one another of being federal assets.
