About this episode
Emily Jashinsky discusses the relationship between the media and the Deep State, victimhood politics, and various social issues while answering listener questions.
On this week’s edition of “Happy Hour,” Emily Jashinsky reflects on her experience covering Russiagate, how it changed her understanding of the relationship between the media and the “Deep State,” and why she appreciates Michael Shellenberger’s ability to approach the story with a fresh, big-picture perspective. She also raises concerns about the federal government’s use of informants and explains why she isn’t convinced the “Deep State” has truly been defanged. Emily dives into the politics of victimhood, why she believes seeing yourself primarily as a victim can rob people of agency, and traces the evolution of “woke” politics from the Obama era to the current Democratic Party. Emily revisits the debate over Gaza, discusses the nuance surrounding the phrase “from the river to the sea,” and reflects on how immersing herself in reporting on the Middle East changed some of her own views.

Emily also tackles questions about Islam in Western society…
