The Billionaires Who Tricked Us

Brian and historian Rick Perlstein delve into the decades of media manipulation perpetrated by the American conservative movement and the role of wealthy individuals in shaping political narratives. They discuss the historical context of polarization in the U.S. and how right-wing think tanks have influenced public perception. The conversation also touches on the use of racism as a political tool and the importance of fostering connections among individuals to combat divisive narratives. As they look to the future, they emphasize the need for healthier information and collective action against manipulation.
