Kat Timpf: An Unapologetic Libertarian at Fox News
Today’s guest is Kat Timpf, whose new book is I Used To Like You Until…:(How Binary Thinking Divides Us). In a totally insane election season, this just might be the most important book of the year. A sequel of sorts to 2023′s You Can’t Joke About That: Why Everything Is Funny, Nothing Is Sacred, and We’re All in This Together, it seeks to show how politics overwhelms common decency and basic logic.
Timpf, who co-hosts the super-popular Gutfeld! late-night show, explains to Reason’s Nick Gillespie why she tells some people she works in porn instead of at Fox News, what it’s like being libertarian at a conservative network, and how she gets people to engage with each other rather than vilify one another. This podcast was taped in front of a live audience in New York City. For more information on Reason live events, go here.
