Lucian K. Truscott IV, journalist, author, and screenwriter, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to shine a light on the challenges of writing about and reporting on current events, political voices, and cultural trends. Lucian started working for the Village Voice while still a cadet at West Point in the 1960s and comes from a long line of military leaders and political figures. He is currently covering politics on his Substack newsletter, Lucian Truscott. Note that this interview was recorded a few days before the US dropped bombs on Iran.
Deepak and Lucian talk about:
- Interviewing Abby Hoffman for Life Magazine and covering the Stonewall Riots
- Current and potential US military action against Iran
- How Lucian's experience as a graduate of West Point informs his view of the consequences of US involvement in conflicts
- His concern about hasty and ill-advised military and political decisions
