But first Nathan Tankus breaks down what the hell Elon Musk is doing. John Kiriakou is the only person to go to jail over the CIA torture program, which he blew the whistle on. He is a former CIA analyst and case officer, a PEN USA Award Winner and best-selling author. He's the host of Political Misfits and writes at http://johnkiriakou.substack.com In addition to being the Publisher of Notes on the Crises, Nathan Tankus is the Research Director of the Modern Money Network. He has written for the Financial Times, Politico, Rolling Stone, Business Insider, The Guardian, The Appeal, The American Prospect and JSTOR Daily. His work has also been extensively covered in The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Nation, Marketwatch, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Fortune Magazine, Vox, The Hill and The New Republic among other outlets. He was also the subject of a major profile in Bloomberg Businessweek, which has made him a sought after speaker and expert on the technical details of monetary policy, central banking and economic policy more broadly. Nathan is currently working on a book, under contract with Viking Press of Penguin. It is in the process of being rethought as a result of the "Trump-Musk Treasury Payments Crisis of 2025." ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kthalps/ #news #politics #youtube
