Trump’s Crypto Corruption Is Off The Charts — Mehdi and Ben McKenzie Explore Why
Back in April, **Mehdi** was joined on ‘We’re Not Kidding’ by actor, author, and now documentary filmmaker **Ben McKenzie **to talk about Ben’s new film which investigates the fraudulent and predatory cryptocurrency industry, ‘[Everyone Is Lying to You For Money][1]’.
The documentary is finally available to stream online, but* for a limited time only *from Aug. 22 - Sept. 6. You can click the button below to stream ‘Everyone Is Lying to You For Money’ now.

You can also revisit Mehdi’s [conversation][3] with Ben from earlier this year. They unpack the documentary’s globetrotting story — from Miami, to El Salvador, to London — as Ben follows the (figurative) money, including his now famous [interview][4] with convicted crypto grifter Sam Bankman-Fried. Ben also explains what exactly cryptocurrency is and uncovers why its evangelists want you to buy it so badly.
They also dig into the crypto industry’s influence on both the Republican and Democratic party, why the Trump family is the perfect avatar for crypto fraudsters, and end up having a blunt conversation about the direction of the Democratic Party. **“If you’re a Democrat and you’re having a hard time choosing between people and corporations, my humble suggestion is to get the fuck out of the party,” **Ben says.
