Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with author and journalist Matt Taibbi. They discuss his early career both in journalism and professional basketball, his time in the U.S.S.R. learning Russian and publishing a successful gonzo-inspired newspaper, and his breaking coverage of the subprime mortgage bubble. They also examine the state of the world today with Russia and the U.S. military industrial complex, the upcoming presidential election, and the dire necessity for alternative news sources.
Matt Taibbi is an award-winning investigative reporter and one of America’s more recognizable literary voices. In 2002, Taibbi began work as a contributing editor for Rolling Stone. There he won the National Magazine Award for commentary. He is best known for his coverage of four presidential campaigns, of the 2008 financial crisis, and the criminal justice system. He has written ten books, including four New York Times bestsellers: The Great Derangement, Griftopia, The Divide, and Insane Clown President. His book, I Can’t Breathe, about the police killing of Eric Garner, was named one of the year’s ten best books by the Washington Post. His latest book about media division, Hate Inc., has been hailed by everyone from Joe Rogan to Publishers Weekly, and called “The best explanation of media behavior since Manufacturing Consent” by Glenn Greenwald.
Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: bit.ly/3KrWbS8

My father, a conservative midwestern farmer, would make copies of Matt’s RS articles on the banking debacle and toss them in my pickup truck for me to read. I became a believer in his reporting. Nice to listen to this conversation between two of my most respected people.

@jasonleveck8546 7 месяцев назад

You remember when he reported on the NY state gaming commission and that they were gonna regulate wall street the same as they do casino's? That was breath taking to know and that the power structure stopped them and shut it down, almost forcing the 2008 meltdown.

@psiloatlantis1246 7 месяцев назад

That’s great, Glenn Greenwald- it’s like the comments here are predictive AI, I was about to make the same point about Glenn Greenwald and then found someone else did and then another. Whitney Webb is pretty interesting, although she mentioned Jordan in A less than favorable context just kind of a side comment grouping him in with kind of more far right people… A common misperception that I realize I had until I actually started listening to him speak rather than soundbites of him saying some thing that could be perceived out of context as being extreme. I think Tybee and Peterson have very similar motivation, to basically look at what’s being presented and filter out all thisthe rubbish And essentially tell the truth as they see through their filter… So it’s not surprising that they would be fairly aligned. I thought it was great when I saw that there was a Peterson Taibbi interview, because they are perceived as being polar opposites on the political spectrum… Taibbi Brent being a Bernie (that is a Bernie as he presented himself back in 2016)-And Peterson being seen as an ultra conservative.

@@hail9814 It implies that the State is naturally corrupt. In this case, they could no longer bribe the low level people because the state was actively taking down dissent. A higher level of corruption. But fundamentally, it implies that governments are naturally corrupt and that the only metric is the magnitude of corruption.

@Christopher-iv6sn 7 месяцев назад

@@euphegenia I wouldn’t speak for Matt or Jordan, but I’ll take a stab at this one. If there is absolutely no ability for people to bribe a government, then that would imply one of two things. Either the government is absolutely benevolent and therefore incorruptible, or the government is so strongly ideological and set in its goals, which are not benevolent, or in the public’s best interest, that it is impossible to steer them off course regardless of reason. There are countries where you need to bribe the government in order to not be persecuted by the government. That is theoretically a better situation than the second option above where the government would persecute you absolutely, absent any ability for people to “buy their freedom”. We’d love to believe that a government only has our best interests at heart, but I don’t believe many people, if any, would make that claim. The conclusion to draw from this would be that at least some corruption is actually signs of a healthier government since no government is devoid of its own interests divorced from the public’s desires. If a government claims there is no corruption, they are claiming that either they are the perfect institution that only exists in fantasy, or that they are entirely corrupt to the point that they are unswayable, even by their own citizens. I hope this sparks some ideas for you. Thank you for reading, and have a great day! - a random Canadian

@designbuild7128 7 месяцев назад

@@euphegenia It could be seen that bribery is low-level (peanuts) corruption where there is a presence of ethical leadership, but quid pro quos behind the scenes. If bribery is no longer the lever, then it could mean that the governmental forces are fully corrupted, no longer subject to criticism or competition in their own eyes. They own you, get reelected without challenge, lead the "chattel" class by fiat with no apologies or hiddeness, and don't have to provide options to get to your money any longer.

I did find a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s and cofounded a company in Finland (my father’s country) as a first step to commercialization in the West. What happened next is detailed in many of the “Bannana books” I have written and published on Amazon and Kindle. They have not received the attention this story deserves.

He is worthy and has earned the respect of his fan base and most others that are actually willing to listen.

you hit the nail on the head. i visited russia in 2014 and the russian people were just as friendly to me as i was to them. they wanted to visit the usa just as i wanted to visit russia. if it wasn't for our leaders i am convinced that the average citizen would get along just fine with each other. eisenhower seemed to be accurate about the industrial military complex is the biggest problem and is all for keeping all the conflicts going.

I visited in the early 1990's fresh off the Soviet fall. The people were friendly all right. McDonald was a birthday gift to a girl from her mother. They were struggling. Our Moscow guide said she was a teacher but she made more money as a tourist guide, able to speak good English and all. I enjoy San Peterburgs more than dreary Moscow.

As a Torontonian who thought Jordan Peterson displayed a unique set of talents in occasional guest appearances on TVO's The Agenda, long before this crazy international fame exploded over his head, and as a retired reference librarian with longstanding interest in freedom of speech issues and the health of the information commons, who's read Hate Inc. and is a great admirer of Matt Taibbi, I found this interview an extra-special treat. It's nice to know Matt likes Toronto. Torontonians who subscribe to Racket News probably like him right back, and it's possible this interview will significantly enlarge the set size of people in that category.

@jpguthrie6669 7 месяцев назад

The "Stop and frisk" policy was interesting, the idea that fighting minor crimes leads to a reduction in serious crimes is more than an idea, it is a simple fact. Years ago I moved to Japan, where police don't need probable cause to stop and search anyone. Racial profiling is legal in Japan, and aggressively practiced. Since even minor crimes in Japan are severely punished (and Japan does not release or allow to bail out people who have been charged with an offense while they await trial), crime of all kinds is rare. The effect of racial profiling is that non-Japanese commit even fewer crimes than native Japanese, as non-Japanese are stopped more often than the locals, and the consequences of their breaking the law are heavier.

@kevintse2870 7 месяцев назад

They also have extreme gun control laws and an extremely capable police force that does their job with barely ever killing anyone.

@jpguthrie6669 7 месяцев назад

@@kevintse2870 Hundreds of thousands of Japanese own guns. Getting a gun license is about as hard as getting a drivers license. Japanese police rarely have to kill anyone because so few people break the law. And with all people carefully tracked, and no illegal immigration, you might run, but you certainly can't hide. And as most Japanese come from two-parent households who teach their kids how to behave, and go to schools which teach knowledge and not social activism, when confronted by the police, they do what they were taught by their families and schools, to obey and respect parental and lawful authority. If people were born responsible and respectful of one another and each other's property, we wouldn't need police or a system of laws to protect society. But since people are born wild, and some are raised wild, we need a system to protect the responsible from the irresponsible, and that comes in the form of a criminal justice system. When there are no consequences for irresponsible behavior, everyone will, necessarily, become irresponsible, and chaos ensues. We don't have to look very far to see this.
