6/14/19 Ron Paul on the Prospects for Liberty Today
Ron Paul talks about his storied political career and the prospects for liberty under the Trump presidency. Paul is skeptical of Trump's trade strategies, but holds out hope that his good instincts on certain foreign policy issues will translate into an actual reduction of the American empire. Paul says that although socialism has become fashionable in some parts of the country, many Americans are surprisingly receptive to the libertarian message that what we really need is more liberty, less war, and sound money. Discussed on the show: "Breaking Washington's Addiction to War" (Eventbrite)...
6/14/19 Ramzy Baroud on Israeli Apartheid
Scott interviews Ramzy Baroud about the conundrum Israel finds itself in today. On the one hand, they claim to be the only liberal democratic regime in the middle of a hostile region, and that they are committed to reaching peace with the Palestinians. On the other hand, Netanyahu's government has no real intentions of a two state solution, or even of a single Israeli state where Palestinians are given full citizenship. Israel is quickly slipping into apartheid, says Baroud, with a clear message that Palestinians just don't matter. Discussed on the show: "Facing the Facts: Israel Cannot...

US Navy Veteran: No Way Iran Hit Those Ships
Fmr. Operations Specialist Chief Petty Officer James Reilly writes: I've spent years on board US naval warships in the gulf. Multiple. Not over the course of years. I mean the amount of time I have spent on board a US naval warship floating in the Persian gulf adds up to many years. My job was to watch Iran like a hawk. I've tracked their ships. I've intercepted their aircraft. I have been in charge of Command and Control operations where Iran was our chief objective. My job was to know and understand the operational, strategic and tactical functions of the IRGC. To know what to expect, and...
It’s Really a Problem US Leaders Are Such Disgusting Liars
As though Iran has any motive to attack a Japanese ship while the Ayatollah was sitting down to meet PM Abe. I'd believe Javad Zarif over Mike Pompeo and his little "assessments" on this any day. Reported attacks on Japan-related tankers occurred while PM @AbeShinzo was meeting with Ayatollah @khamenei_ir for extensive and friendly talks. Suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning. Iran's proposed Regional Dialogue Forum is imperative. — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) June 13, 2019
