Matt Taibbi discusses the controversial new developments surrounding possible corruption in the Biden family. Taibbi takes us back to the original controversy of Biden’s supposed pressure on the Ukrainian government to dismiss prosecutor Viktor Shokin when Biden was Vice President. The mainstream press, says Taibbi, remains united in their view on this issue: the dismissal had nothing to do with Hunter Biden’s activities on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and anyone claiming otherwise is just spouting right-wing talking points. In his latest series of articles, Taibbi reexamines some of the circumstances surrounding this story. He also ties it to more recent revelations about Hunter Biden’s laptop, a story that has received even more disdain from the mainstream media. Taibbi is deeply concerned about tech company censorship of news organizations, fearing that this could signal a trend that spells the loss of a free press in America.

This episode was recorded on June 4th after more than a week of nationwide protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. This was a difficult episode to do, to say the least. We hope we did a decent job. Some of the books and podcasts referenced during this episode are: - Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates - I Can't Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street by Matt Taibbi - Radiolab Presents More Perfect: Mr. Graham and the Reasonable Man (November 30, 2017) - The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther By Jeffrey Haas Outro song is “This Land is Nobody’s Land” by John Lee Hooker

According to Barna researcher Brooke Hempell, "More than any other segment of the population, white evangelicals demonstrate a blindness to the struggle of their African American brothers and sisters.” Why is this? In this episode, Don tackles this question from several angles, and addresses the myth that we live in a post-racist society.Links to go with the show:Black Christians Deserve Better Than Companies (And Churches) Like Relevant Media Group: https://medium.com/@andrehenry/black-christians-deserve-better-than-companies-like-relevant-media-group-42aed44528c9This Topic Got Me Censored and Removed from Conservative Catholic Radio: https://medium.com/@don_43125/this-topic-got-me-censored-and-removed-from-conservative-catholic-radio-6ebbe3c142b9Summary of Ferguson DOJ Report: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/03/04/the-12-key-highlights-from-the-dojs-scathing-ferguson-report/I Can't Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street: https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Breathe-Killing-Bay-Street/dp/0812988841/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=i+can%27t+breathe&qid=1571810439&sr=8-2The Case for Reparations: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/

Steve Adubato goes one-on-one to talk with Rolling Stone contributor, Matt Taibbi, about his book “I Can’t Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street” about the controversial death of Eric Garner. Taibbi also discusses the challenges in covering the Trump administration.

Journalist and author Matt Taibbi joins the show to talk about his latest book chapter, titled: “It's official: Russiagate is this generation's WMD: The Iraq war faceplant damaged the reputation of the press. Russiagate just destroyed it” and we discuss some corporate media reaction to the piece. We think back on the changes to American policy and American life brought about by the WMD lies, the Iraq War and the War on Terror and the likelihood of serious, real world consequences of the Russiagate conspiracy. This is one of the reasons why it’s so important to re-examinine the origins and details of the Russiagate story now that it has collapsed. But even as the Russiagate conspiracy collapses, the curiously bipartisan consensus on the matter of Russia being a threat to our democracy lives on -- or at least the establishment and national security state are working hard to make sure it survives even if all or most other aspects of the narrative die.   Matt Taibbi is an author, journalist and contributing editor for Rolling Stone.
