Former President Barack Obama secretly controlled America’s elite — including the media and much of the government — for nearly 20 years? Was he doing it in the name of a subversive agenda to empower Iran and undermine American exceptionalism? This is the argument of David Samuels in a very readable piece Art Tablet.
In this episode, I break down Samuels’ arguments with two friends of the podcast, David Cleon and Matt Doos. Not only do we examine the problems with Samuel’s reactionary fable, but we also examine why it is so popular among the right and even draws on conspiracy ideas that are more popular among centrists and conservative liberals.
