This past week, former Red Brigades member Leonardo Bertulazzi was arrested in Argentina after 40 years on the run. Prompted by this news, Jamie and Sam dive into the history of this Italian Revolutionary Marxist organization, which operated in various forms from the 1970s straight into the 2000s. From kidnappings to kneecappings, robberies to bombings, the Red Brigades operated at a high level of intensity for an impressively long time. What, if anything, can we learn from these heavy hitters? ...

As promised, Jamie and Sam dive back into DNC '24 in all its splendor. Is AOC actually just a revolutionary communist sleeper cell waiting to take the throne before returning to her leftist roots? Is Obama still the smoothest talker around? Why did virtually no militants show up to throw down? And which of Jeffrey Epstein's besties took the stage at the Democrats' flagship event?

Comedian and podcaster Kate Willett joins us for a wide-ranging discussion of the San Francisco tech milieu that anointed JD Vance as Donald Trump's VP pick. Unlike the old school robber barons, the tech capitalists of today want more than money; they want to be gods. Via labor arbitrage, political meddling, and even seemingly innocuous ideas like "smart cities," figures like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, David Sacks, and Bilaji Srinivasan seek to immiserate the average person, dismantle the gover...
