In this Kim Iversen interview, independent journalist Ken Klippenstein explains why he published sensitive documents that legacy media withheld—including Luigi Mangione’s manifesto (released despite NYPD pressure) and the Iranian-hacked JD Vance vetting file (detailing policy clashes with Trump). He also profiles the latest failed Trump assassin, Cole Thomas Allen, and discusses his own left-leaning but fiercely pro-free speech, pro-Constitution views. The conversation critiques media self-censorship, access journalism, platform risks, and a polarized electorate that votes against enemies rather than for ideas.
