The Mob, Vegas, and Tea

Recently, I met up with Max Blumenthal in Downtown L.A. to discuss his first book. 'Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party' is a culmination of his investigative reporting into the radical right wing of the G.O.P.

He is clear that the Republican Party has been taken over by extremists, calling it "the party of birthers, deathers, and Civil re-enacters."

Blumenthal gave a great interview with much insight into why he wrote what he did, and what he saw along the 2008 campaign trail.

He's also gained a huge following amongst the 18-25 year-old crowd, through his sometimes shocking YouTube videos.
