My chat with Alex Thompson.
Before our recent live event in Irvine, California, I got the chance to sit down with Alex Thompson. I asked him about his best-selling book, Original Sin, on the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline; the lessons the press should learn from the scandal; and who he thinks will run for president in 2028. I was surprised by his candor, and fascinated by his answers. Check out the interview here.
