For perhaps the first time in his life, the ridiculous torture- and war-monger Marc Thiessen is right about how ridiculous the Trump-Ukraine "scandal" is and how goddamn dumb the Democrats are: It got almost no attention, but in May, CNN reported that Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) and Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) wrote a letter to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Yuriy Lutsenko, expressing concern at the closing of four investigations they said were critical to the Mueller probe. In the letter, they implied that their support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine was at stake....
9/23/19 Hannah Cox: the Death Penalty is Just Another Failed Big Government Program
Scott interviews Hannah Cox, from Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, who explains why anyone who favors smaller government should oppose the death penalty. Among the problems she cites: one in nine death penalty convicts are later outright exonerated, not to mention many more who are released due to potential innocence or procedural issues; the fact that it costs up to $1 million more to execute someone than if they were given life without parole; and that the defendants who get death penalty convictions are often not the ones who committed the most heinous crimes, but simply...
9/23/19 David Stockman on the Demonization of Iran
David Stockman talks about the recent drone strike on a Saudi Arabian oil facility and America's sanctions war in Iran. For some reason, everything in the Middle East seems to be about Iran, as far as American neocons are concerned. They will do anything to turn a situation into an excuse to push for war with Iran, or to hurt them in a less violent but in some ways more horrific manner, like with economic sanctions. Stockman hopes that Trump will realize how advantageous it would be if we could get along with Iran, and take steps to institute a new nuclear agreement—or even reinstate the old...
Another Giant Non-Scandal — Toldyaso
Yes, Trump asked the new Ukrainian president to take a look at the firing of the prosecutor who had previously been investigating a natural gas firm that was paying then Vice President-Biden's son Hunter $50,000 per month to sit on their board. No, there is nothing like a quid pro quo or a threat from Trump to Zelenskiy. In fact, due to Trump's broken speech, "if you can look into it," and "whatever you can do": is the closest he gets to even making an ask. Democrats are on TV, premature ejaculating all over the place, pretending they have been proven right anyway. The MSNBC reporter just...
Iran Bends Over Further, Will It Be Enough For Israel/Trump?
Iranian FM Zarif told CNN that Iran would be willing to sign another additional protocol to their Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA, "allowing for more intrusive inspections of the country's nuclear facilities at an earlier date than that set out in the 2015 deal. The country's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, would also enshrine a ban on nuclear weapons in law. ... In return for what (Trump) has said he's prepared to do and that is to go to Congress and have this ratified, which would mean Congress lifting the sanctions." "We are prepared, if President Trump is serious about permanent for...
Ron and Dan: Defending Saudi Arabia… Hardly Our Moral Responsibility!
President Trump’s decision to deploy more US troops (and more failed Patriot Missile batteries) signals the US Administration’s continuing determination to back Saudi Arabia in its aggressive war against Yemen. But what does it mean that the mighty US air superiority has been defeated by a few cheap drones and missiles? The illusion of dominance. Should we be engaging further in the Middle East…or is it time to come home? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: https://youtu.be/wB7j2FD5b74 Reprinted from The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity.
9/20/19 Max Blumenthal on Civilian Life in Syria and the US Sanctions on Iran
Max Blumenthal recounts his recent trip to Syria, where he witnessed firsthand the destruction wrought by the proxy war fought there with the support of the U.S. To this day, willingness to negotiate with the Assad regime makes you a pariah in Washington, as we've seen from Tulsi Gabbard's presidential campaign. Blumenthal also talks about America's economic war on Iran, which, like all sanctions, hurts only a country's people and rarely does anything to accomplish the supposed political ends. Discussed on the show: "Meet the militantly pro-Israel Trump official directing the economic war on...
9/20/19 Shireen Al-Adeimi on Samantha Power’s Revisionist Yemen History
Shireen Al-Adeimi discusses the U.S. role in the Saudi-led war in Yemen, particularly that of Obama administration official Samantha Power. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of civilians have died from starvation and deprivation during the war in Yemen, many of them children. Al-Adeimi explains that part of the reason it's so hard to get democrats to criticize President Trump for what his role in the war is that they would have to reckon with Obama's part in helping the Saudis start the war in the first place. With impeachment hearings starting up, she and Scott wonder whether this will be...
