LIVE: Naomi Klein on Musk, Thiel and Their Bunker in the Sky - Ep. 18^{[ YouTube ]} (1:00:02) ~ The Drey Dossier, 2026-10-27.

Naomi Klein has spent her career tracking how the powerful use catastrophe, from The Shock Doctrine to Doppelganger. In End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World, the new book she wrote with Astra Taylor, she follows that thread somewhere even more unsettling: a ruling class that has stopped trying to fix the world and started planning its way out of it. Naomi joins me live on The Drey Dossier to talk about the people building those escape hatches, who they expect to leave behind, and the growing number of people who have decided to stay and fight for this world instead.
