#1023: The Rich Kid Revolution With Sagnik Basu

Tin Foil HatSep 18, 2026

Media producer Sagnik Basu, who has worked at The Daily Caller, Fox News and The Washington Post, argues that legacy media is an insular club that serves itself rather than the public. He claims that revolutions throughout history have been led by overeducated, underpaid elites rather than the working class, and says the same pattern is playing out today with trust-fund activists in movements like the Democratic Socialists of America. The hosts also float claims that Charlottesville was funded by the Southern Poverty Law Center and that public outrage around the Lindsay Clancy case may be a psyop designed to divide men and women.
