5/29/20 Danny Sjursen on the Futility of the War in Afghanistan
Danny Sjursen discusses America’s absurd Afghan War strategy for the last nearly two decades. Sjursen served in Afghanistan during the Obama surge, seeing firsthand the utter futility of America’s attempt to conquer and rule a country that for centuries has been the graveyard of empires. Scott and Sjursen are hopeful that President Trump will follow through on some of his rhetoric and instincts and actually try to end this war, though they realize how difficult it will be even for a president who seems ready to leave, given all the entrenched interests that would like to stay...
5/29/20 Coleen Rowley on the Dangerous Failings of the FBI
Scott talks to Coleen Rowley about the failures in America’s intelligence agencies that contributed to the 9/11 attacks, and that continue to plague us today.

In reality, says Enzweiler, these terrorists are often very specific in describing their motives: they are trying to strike back at America for its...
Flynn-Kislyak Call Transcript Released

Breonna Taylor’s Boyfriend’s 911 Call
Kenneth Walker clearly had no idea that the men who murdered his girlfriend were members of his local security force. For weeks they called her a "suspect" to dehumanize her -- every single member of local TV news surely went along with this as they always do -- and charged Walker with attempted murder, charges which were only dropped due to public outcry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0EnRabtRhg
