In July, Abby Martin was a guest on Christopher Ryan’s podcast Tangentially Speaking.

“Abby Martin speaks truth to power with a snarl. She is an American journalist who asks questions and challenges assumptions in a way very few journalists ever dare. You can see her show, The Empire Files on TeleSur and YouTube.”

“Tangentially Speaking is dedicated to the idea that good conversation is spontaneous, organic, revelatory, and free to go down unexpected paths with unexpected people. Come hang with comics, porn stars, bank robbers, drug smugglers, scientists, authors, and world travelers.”

Abby and Robbie Martin talk about the latest regime-change plot against Venezuela, the significance of Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s victory in the Mexican election, Israel funding neo-nazis in Ukraine, Justice Kennedy’s departure from the Supreme Court and Kavanaugh’s nomination, the dangers facing Roe v. Wade, Eugene Debs and the dictatorship of courts that have always existed to serve corporations.

Abby and Robbie Martin talk about the latest Mueller indictment of 12 alleged Russian intelligence (GRU) agents in relation to the alleged Russian state-sponsored hacking of the DNC and ‘meddling’ in the 2016 US presidential election. Robbie breaks down the charges and why the indictments aren’t meant to actually bring anybody to justice but are instead meant to paint a visual narrative for public consumption. They also discuss headlines like Elon Musk donating to the GOP and Ocasio-Cortez’s Palestine controversy. Later Trump’s performance at the Helsinki summit and the hysterical media reaction is discussed in detail.
