This week journalist Gil Duran joins me to going deep on Balaji Srinivasan, the powerful centimillionaire calling for a “tech Zionism” and an establishment of a "Network State" that would see “Grays” loyal to the tech industry take over San Francisco by allying with the police to give themselves privileges as they oppress the “Blues” (progressives).

Balaji is one of the most infamous, but lesser-known, figures in Silicon Valley. Journalist Gil Duran, who reports on tech fascism and billionaire extremism, joins me to examine his plans to transform San Francisco into a sovereign state and discuss Balaji’s ideas, background, and why you should take his Network State initiative seriously.
