Jared is the author of a brand new book dropping 1/17 called Midnight Kingdom: A History of Power, Paranoia, and the Coming Crisis. He's also the co-host of the Muckrake Podcast, so today we'll talk about the rise of authoritarianism and fascism in America and the media machine that made it all happen. Where will this lead? How will it end? Will democracy endure? We'll try to answer all of these questions today. Preorder the book here and listen to the Muckrake podcast here.
