New Associate Justice Barrett: Cops Can Rape Whoever They Want

by | Oct 17, 2020 |

Salon: Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has been accused of "unconscionable cruelty" by a watchdog group over her role in an appellate court decision overturning a district court which found a Wisconsin county liable for millions in damages to a woman who alleged she had been repeatedly raped by a jail guard. "After a 19-year old pregnant prison inmate was repeatedly raped by a prison guard, Amy Coney Barrett ruled that the county responsible for the prison could not be held liable because the sexual assaults fell outside of the guard's official duties. Her judgment demonstrates a...

10/16/20 Dave DeCamp on Hunter Biden, Trump’s Tweets and America’s Endless Wars

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Scott talks to Dave DeCamp about a handful of his recent antiwar.com stories, with a focus on President Trump's efforts to bring troops home from overseas wars. Trump has issued a series of tweets calling for troop reductions, particularly in Afghanistan and Somalia, but DeCamp says that this is mostly just PR—after all, Trump is Commander in Chief, and could bring the troops home if he wanted to. Scott and DeCamp also discuss the Hunter Biden email story and Twitter's censorship of the New York Post. Discussed on the show: "O'Brien: US Will Reduce Forces in Afghanistan to 2,500 by Early...

10/16/20 Eric Margolis on Trump’s Supposed Middle East ‘Peace’ Deals

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Eric Margolis discusses President Trump's recent peace deals between Israel and some of the Arab states. First Margolis explains that these aren't really peace deals; what they do is simply make public the normalization of relations between countries that were already tacitly at peace.

Finally, these deals strengthen relationships between U.S. arms manufacturers and foreign government buyers, something that Trump...

10/16/20 Aaron Maté: OPCW Malfeasance and More ‘Russiagate’ Updates

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Scott interviews Aaron Maté about his testimony to the UN Security Council regarding the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, Syria in 2018. After the Trump administration authorized retaliatory bombing in response to the incident, the OPCW sent investigators to follow up on the claims of chemical weapons use. After a year, they released a report justifying the U.S. response. The trouble, as Maté explains, is that OPCW inspectors then started coming forward claiming that their findings had been altered or suppressed in order to paint a more favorable picture for the U.S. and its allies....

10/16/20 Andrew Cockburn on the Dangerous and Unconstitutional Powers of Modern Presidents

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Scott interviews Andrew Cockburn about the steady growth of unconstitutional powers that the federal government—and the president in particular—can summon during "emergencies." Some of these powers are well-known, like extraordinary law enforcement and surveillance techniques that have been justified by the war on terror and the war on drugs. Others are more secretive, and the American public has basically no way of finding out about such powers until the government decides to use them. Cockburn points out the ways that unprecedented powers have already been summoned during the covid...
