Things are not okay.
They will do anything and everything to fuck this guy over. It's screwed up how much power Big Oil has.
It generates an incredibly impactful chilling effect on anyone remotely considering taking on Big Oil.

It's a bold move to get released on house arrest and immediately go on Chapo to name and shame the judges and prosecutors and Biden for putting one of the prosecutors on the federal circuit. It's like bruh just lay low for ten weeks and then move your family to Cuba or China.
i listened to that ep too and thought the same. i can understand that he's in this sort of last mile euphoria, he's been isolated for a long time and likely went through some trauma in the prison system so he may not have the coolest and most rational head when he did the interviews. plus he's got to keep it fresh in the media or everything gets utterly erased.
He's also in it for the right reasons. You must have a bit of a martyr complex to take the fight up against Chevron like that
