Summary

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Matt Taibbi this month. We talked about Kamala Harris’ fitness to be a Presidential Candidate, how Matt thinks it is ‘strange’ no questions are being asked about how Harris became the nominee, the failures of the Trump assassination attempt, why Matt thinks ‘profound’ changes are taking place in how Americans think about the world, and the future of government overreach in the U.S. Taibbi is the head of Racket News and his reputation as a fearless investigative journalist precedes him. From his groundbreaking coverage of the 2008 financial crisis to his more recent explorations of censorship with the Twitter Files, politics, systemic inequality and the inner workings of Congress, Taibbi's body of work reflects a deep commitment to uncovering truths and challenging conventional narratives.
