Description

“I’ve always thought of organized crime not as some fringe aspect of American culture, but as the main vein of American culture.” Journalist and bestselling author T.J. English talks to Michael Kosta about his latest book, “The Last Kilo,” which chronicles the rise and fall of the American cocaine empire built by Willy Falcon. They talk about Falcon’s original intention to fund Cuban revolutionaries with the money from the drug operation, the “war on drugs,” and the benefits of learning about American culture through the lens of organized crime. #DailyShow #TJEnglish #OrganizedCrime Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Organised crime. You mean like corporate gouging and money in politics?

Do yourself a favour and read every TJ English book if you’re into true crime. He simply never lets you down. Each book is a hard hitting winner.
