The pair also talk about the ways in which “Russia” scapegoating has been used to critique and silence social, economic and political the American and global left as well as the bipartisan media and political support for Trump’s militarism.

Later in the show host Eugene Puryear is joined by Daniel McAdams, Executive Director, Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity to talk about the bipartisan support for Donald Trump’s bombing campaign in Syria, the usage of a MOAB in Afghanistan, and what we should expect next from an aggressive and militaristic Trump administration.
