Nasser Arrabyee is back with an update on the war in Yemen, where the UN estimates a quarter of a million people have died either in combat or because of the deprivation resulting from the war. Arrabyee reminds us that the objectives of this war are totally unachievable and nothing will change unless the U.S., in the hands of President Trump, decides to end the war altogether.

5/31/19 Trevor Timm on the Century’s Greatest 1st Amendment Threat
Trevor Timm discusses the arrests of Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning. Manning is only being held in jail because she refuses to testify in Assange's case, a move that Scott and Timm agree is unconstitutional and with any luck will be struck down in court so Manning can go free. Although they were mostly quiet at Assange's arrest, some American newspapers are finally standing up for Assange and Manning on the grounds that what they do is not really all that different, and that everyone in this country should be protected by the 1st amendment. Discussed on the show: Espionage Act of 1917...

Taliban in Moscow Talks: No Deal Until US Troops Out
That's been their position for 15 years and it's not changing. The U.S. should just leave already. If we haven't been able to build up a government that can stand without us this whole time then we never can. That's science.
Assange Too Sick For Court
How well is he being treated? What's wrong with him? No one seems to know. Sure hope the U.S. or UK government don't just murder him. No point in going ahead with the recent superseding indictment if that was the plan.

5/26/19 Ted Postol on the Proof that the Douma Attack was Staged
Ted Postol talks about the recently leaked document from a team of engineers at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which shows that the narrative of the supposed chemical attack last year in Douma simply doesn't fit the science of how the weapons would have to have been deployed.
