Tim continues promoting Family of Secrets and the journalism site whowhatwhy.org, praising its independence and urging listeners to donate, before setting up the interview topic.
- 0:48Tim recommends giving Family of Secrets to the know-it-all relative who won't shut up about politics.
- 1:02The book is paradigm-shifting regardless of your ideology, according to Tim's assessment.
- 1:26What makes it work: the book stays absent of ideology while covering JFK, Watergate, and the Bush family's hidden history over fifty years.
- 1:59Russ Baker broke the story about Bush potentially going AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard—the incident that got Dan Rather pulled from air.
- 2:22Tim prefers physical books for nightstand reading but the book is available on Kindle and Audible for lazy listeners.
- 2:41WhoWhatWhy.org is Tim's recommended source for independent journalism without a predetermined agenda.
- 3:06Most sites jumping to conclusions lack real money in sober-minded, rational journalism—but outlets like WhoWhatWhy matter if democracy is to survive it.
- 3:29Tim urges comedians and listeners to donate to WhoWhatWhy because independent journalism affects everyone.
