From Liberal Tech to Reactionary Politics

As information about Charlie Kirk’s assassin trickles in, so do the bizarre inconsistencies. A destroyed letter? A very on the nose text thread. And there still doesn’t appear to be evidence of the “hardened leftist” narrative, but that hasn’t stopped the entire regime from putting anyone left of center in their crosshairs. Blakeley, musician and content creator, joins Francesca to talk about JD Vance and Stephen Miller threatening any American leftist and the dovetailing with tall of the censorship of free speech around Palestine.

But first, author Jacob Silverman joins to talk about his new book, Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley, and how it is that techies went from being normal Democrats to reactionaries pining away for some feudal past.
