"The Last Honest Man": The Church Committee and the U.S. Empire w/ Pulitzer-winner James Risen (G&R 235)

James Risen is a two-time Pulitzer winner and investigative journalist who's just written a great book about Senator Frank Churck, *The Last Honest Man.* In this interview we go into detail about the impact of Vietnam on Church's political evolution, the creation of the Church Committee, the CIA's subversion and assassinations, the role of presidents--both Democratic and GOP--in subverting foreign nations, and more. Church is one of the more important figures in the history of American anti-Imperialism and this is a must-see/must-hear interview. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Outro- "CIA Man" by The Fugs Links// +The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys—and One Senator's Fight to Save Democracy (https://bit.ly/46rgFmB) +The Intercept: Church and State.
