5/14/19 Andrew Cockburn on the Military-Industrial ‘Virus’

by | May 15, 2019 |

Andrew Cockburn comes back on the show to discuss his recent piece, "The Military-Industrial Virus." Cockburn describes how the war planners, and even many of the officers, don't care all that much about the men they're sending off to fight and die in America's wars.

Why not just go ahead and appoint John Danforth or Henry Kissinger?

5/10/19 Steven Woskow on the Battle over BDS

by | May 14, 2019 |

Scott talks to Steven Woskow about recent anti-BDS legislation at both the state and federal level. The issue has been going back and forth in the courts because on the one hand, a boycott is just an expression of personal first amendment freedoms, but on the other, it could be argued that it constitutes discrimination against a religious group. Scott and Woskow, however, agree that the religious discrimination argument is totally illegitimate because this is a political and human rights issue, not a religious one. Discussed on the show: "Anti-BDS Laws vs the First Amendment" (The...
