## Resource

Investigative journalist Sam Cooper joins The Really Big Show to expose the deep networks of foreign interference, transnational crime, and elite capture threatening national sovereignty.From the critical gaps in federal oversight commissions to controversial trade deals and the mainstream media's failure to ask tough questions, Cooper lays out a sobering blueprint of how Western institutions are being gamed. Jim, Ian, and Sam also discuss the chilling effects of new digital regulations and why independent, adversarial journalism is more essential now than ever.
