Lee Camp -- CENSORED

Lee Camp -- CENSORED

On today's special edition of The Socialist Program, Brian is joined by Lee Camp, a writer, comedian, activist and journalist. For eight years Lee hosted the television show “Redacted Tonight”, but this anti-war, anti-imperialist program has now been shut down along with all the shows on RT America amid the anti-Russia frenzy sweeping the country. They discuss how censorship and militarism go hand-in-hand, especially in this current moment of crisis.

Lee’s latest book is called “Bullet Points & Punch Lines.” You can find that and more of his work at leecamp.com, and you can support his work at Patreon.com/LeeCamp.

Please make an urgently-needed contribution to The Socialist Program by joining our Patreon community at patreon.com/thesocialistprogram. We rely on the generous support of our listeners to keep bringing you consistent, high-quality shows. All Patreon donors of $5 a month or more are invited to join the monthly Q&A seminar with Brian.
