Israel's brutal campaign against Lebanon launched on March 2 has run parallel to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. When Trump and Iran declared a ceasefire in the second week of April, on terms that included a ceasefire in Lebanon, Israel launched a brutal bombing campaign on April 8th attacking over 100 targets in ten minutes. Israel's war against Iran-backed Hezbollah has targeted civilian infrastructure, journalists, medics and civilian populations. Israel is using the same playbook that it's used in occupied Palestine, and appears to be trying to turn southern Lebanon into another Gaza.

In our latest, Scott talks with Lebanese journalist Hanady Salman about the war being fought between Israel and Hezbollah, the attacks on civilians and infrastructure, the negotiations and more.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has initiated a major overhaul of the Pentagon leadership, firing over a dozen high-ranking military officials, including Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. CQ Brown Jr., and Adm. Lisa Franchetti. The moves, often executed without specific reasons, are part of a broader, controversial effort to remove officers deemed misaligned with the administration's priorities. Hegseth has also faced intense criticism for declaring that "no quarter" would be given to enemies in Iran, a statement interpreted as ordering troops to kill surrendering combatants, which is a war crime under international law.

The actions have caused friction with leaders like Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and increasing skepticism of the administration's competency in waging wars.

In our latest, we talk about the war inside the Pentagon between military leadership and Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

It's also the anniversary of the Vietnam Vets Against the War founding (April 15, 1967) and one of their most known mass actions, Dewey Canyon III (April 19-21, 1971) and discuss why military dissent is important.

It’s the 50th anniversary of Project Censored, so we had another great discussion w/ its director Mickey Huff of Project about the history of muckraking and how it evolved into the corporate media we have today. We also discussed evolution of media in the Vietnam, Watergate eras and after toward a more complicit approach with government which has led us to the current moment of Trump’s threats and intimidation of the media. Finally , we talked about the importance of independent media and investigative journalism.

The Trump administration is taking its targeting of it's political enemies to new levels. Last summer in Texas, a noise demo that escalated has led to nine people being convicted of federal charges, including "material aid for terrorism." The "North Texas antifa cell" has raised concerns on the left about future prosecutions.

In our latest, Scott talks with Jay with the DFW Support Committee about the federal case and trial of the Prairieland Nine.

Episode details//

The Grateful Dead's long strange trip through the latter half of the 20th century had a huge influence on American politics, culture and counterculture. From San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury to Woodstock to their record breaking concerts in their last ten years, the Dead had a radical message and created a bohemian community that lasts through today.

In our latest, we talk with former Los Angeles times journalist and author of “Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening" Jim Newton (@newton_jim) about the political and cultural legacy of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. We talk about the Merry Pranksters, the music, the Dead vs. Ronald Reagan in the 1960s and the 1980s (when the Dead championed AIDs and rainforest advocacy), Tucker Carlson, Phish, Burning Man and that Scott was a secret Deadhead in his youth.

Nine people were recently convicted of federal charges, including "material support for terrorism," by a jury in Texas after a noise demonstration and exchange of gunfire at the Prairieland Immigration Detention Center in North Texas.

In our latest, we talk with journalist Adam Federman about the Prairieland case, the weaponization of the Justice Department and the expansion of the "terrorism" label.
