  Talk World Radio: Sam Husseini on Journalism, His Campaign for Congress, and the Name of This Country

  Aug 18, 202629 min

  This week on Talk World Radio we are talking with the great journalist, activist, and now candidate for the U.S. Congress, my friend Sam Husseini. Sam has been tossed out of more fancy events than most of us have ever attended, including I believe a Trump Putin meeting at a palace in Finland, a U.S. State Department briefing, and recently a Chuck Schumer speech at the National Press Club. We'll talk about getting kicked out of things, getting into things, and what the name of this country should be. You can find Sam Husseini at https://husseini.substack.com https://bethatempty.org https://samhusseini.com
