Jesse Walker On "The United States Of Paranoia"

"Conspiracy theories are not just a colorful byway, they are at America's core," explains Jesse Walker, Reason Magazine books editor and author of The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory. Walker discussed his book as well as America's long fascination with conspiracies during a presentation at this year's Freedom Fest.

Held each July in Las Vegas, Freedom Fest is attended by around 2,000 limited-government enthusiasts and libertarians. ReasonTV spoke with over two dozen speakers and attendees and will be releasing interviews over the coming weeks.

Approx. 20 minutes.
