Is Peter Thiel Obsessed with the Anti-Christ? | Texas Attacks Trans Rights | Coates on Ezra Klein
In this episode of Left Reckoning, we dive deep into the bizarre and unsettling obsessions of billionaire Peter Thiel — is he trolling with all the Anti-Christ talk, or is there something darker going on? We're joined by Gil Duran (@gilduran76) to unpack Thiel's dangerous ideological project and what it means for the future of tech, power, and politics.
Then: Texas' war on trans people has escalated — journalist Gwen Howerton (@kissphoria) joins us to explain how this brutal assault on basic human rights threatens all of us, not just the trans community.

We take a closer look at Ta-Nehisi Coates' appearance on Ezra Klein's podcast, and why "Vox-style liberalism" keeps failing to meet the political and moral moment. David Griscom and Matt Lech break down the limits of elite liberal discourse and why it's time to move past it.
