Lee Camp opens the show this week with a recent report released publicly by the intelligence community to prove how little they are willing to tolerate free speech. Their list of “domestic violence extremists” includes a wide array of groups to be targeted. The real crime of most of these groups is standing in the way of, or simply being opposed to, global capitalist power. In Taking the News from Behind, Camp looks back at how the Pentagon stopped Trump from bringing the troops home from Afghanistan.
Naomi Karavani reports on the current situation in Afghanistan and what the oligarchs who run the US empire stand to lose if America ends the longest war in its history. It isn’t the lives they’re worried about. It’s the contracts, the resources, and the cash. Natalie McGill joins Camp to discuss Derek Chauvin’s trial for murdering George Floyd, and what’s missing from President Biden’s $2.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
