Summary

Comedian and political commentator Lee Camp drops in for a conversation about his political awakening, why we should turn off all mainstream corporate media, working for RT America before it was shut down, seeing independent media and voices being purged from the internet, and what we do when the culture has lost faith in all news outlets. They also discuss where Lee gets his news, America's prison state, the real reason behind the war on drugs, whether Congress is owned by corporations, how the Democrats are not really a left-wing party outside the US, and his views on capitalism.
