The Revolt of the Public with Martin Gurri: The elites used to control the narrative. Now? The public is revolting and the elites are panicking. How did we get here? This week on Truth Over Tribe, Keith talks with former CIA analyst Martin Gurri to find out.

And most importantly, is there any way institutions can repair this lack of trust? Tune in now! by Truth Over Tribe: Christian Takes on Culture, News & Politics
