In tonight’s edition we welcome Lee Smith from Tablet Magazine as we look at “the Permanent Coup”, which refers to the series of information operations designed to destabilize the U.S. government, as well as the ongoing effort to undermine America and turn it into a third-world surveillance state.

Lee’s work appears in Real Clear Investigations, Just the News, and The Federalist. He has worked in media for thirty years, writing about national politics, foreign policy, and the press. Smith is a frequent guest on television and radio, national and international, including Fox News, CNN, and France 24. He moved to the Middle East after the September 11 attacks and has reported extensively from the region. He was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and was raised in New York City. He now lives in Washington, DC.
