T.J. English – “The Last Kilo” & Organized Crime in America | The Daily Show

From The Daily Show.

“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
