Welcome back to The Red Letter — and thanks to everyone who hung in through the tech hiccups at the top. This conversation with Michael Shellenberger is worth it, so start at the 4:01 mark.
Shellenberger and I dig into why agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency — along with other federal law enforcement — should be called before Congress to explain how they can neither confirm nor deny key connections to Jeffrey Epstein that we lay out in this episode.
From there, we move to censorship on the heels of Stephen Colbert’s interview with James Talarico, which couldn’t be aired and a new lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security alleging efforts to “control what the public can see, hear, or say” about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations across tech platforms.
Finally, since Shellenberger ran twice for governor of California, first as a Democrat and then as an Independent, we go deep into his policy prescriptions for homelessness and immigration.
Thank you Omar Moore, Angie T, John H, Harper Thorpe, Jami, and many others for tuning into my live video with Michael Shellenberger! Join me for my next live video in the app.
