Description

In this episode, author and journalist Lee Smith joins the show to discuss his new book, The China Matrix, and how American corruption has become deeply entangled with Chinese influence. Smith shares his personal journey as a writer, reflecting on how 9/11 shaped his worldview and the evolution of his career. The conversation explores Donald Trump’s trade policies, the future of social media and digital communication, and the enduring power of literature and poetry to bring meaning and connection in an increasingly superficial culture.
