797 - Gottenheimerdamgerung feat. Ryan Grim (1/11/24) (Patreon)

We’re joined by the Intercept’s Ryan Grim, who’s spent the last several months attending State Department briefings, directly questioning the department representatives and reporting on administration messaging. We discuss his experiences in the mouth of the consent-manufacturing machine, and how he thinks the admin and various media orgs have functioned while he’s been there. We also discuss Ryan’s new book on The Squad, and how young progressive legislators are shaped and disciplined by the Democratic Party, and the special prominence of the Israel lobby within it.
