New bonus coming soon, but catch up on the related bonus eps with Aaron https://www.patreon.com/posts/19418558 and Glenn Greenwald https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-glenn-on-23827350. We chat with journalist and rational skeptic Aaron Maté about why he calls the Russiagate narrative a "privilege protection racket." Maté debunks the latest smoking gun which this time comes from Buzzfeed, talks about the sad state of journalism, who else is doing good work on the issue, Noam Chomksy, Sarah Palin, Bernie Sanders, the Clintons and what MSNBC and the Dems could be doing if they spent less talk talking about Russia.

Related bonus: Nora reading from her short story https://www.patreon.com/posts/11196692 & Dennis Mora on going to jail for refusing to serve in Vietnam https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-dennis-on-23917536 Journalist, novelist and mother of Katie Halper Nora Eisenberg talks to us about George Herbert Walker Bush's legacy, the "Good" (but actually really bad) Gulf War, Gulf War Syndrome, manufacturing consent, and how the U.S. Military creates and the executes terrorists & serial killers.

Bonus with Dennis Mora, who went to jail for three years for refusing to go to Vietnam https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-dennis-on-23917536 We speak to David Parsons, a historian, professor, host of The Nostalgia Trap podcast and author of "Dangerous Grounds: Antiwar Coffeehouses and Military Dissent in the Vietnam Era." David talks to us about his research, things you probably don't know about Jane Fonda and what the anti-war movement can teach us about today.

First, I tell Gabe about seeing a Joan Baez concert with the Clintons in the audience, which gets kind of awkward when Baez sings a song about a rape survivor killing her rapist. Speaking of which, we're in the midst of the 20 year anniversary of the impeachment of Bill Clinton, which was sparked by Paula Jones' sexual harassment allegations and wound up exposing Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky and bringing Juanita Broaddrick out of the woodwork. While Lewinsky's case has been re-examined through the #MeToo lens, Broaddrick, who alleges that Bill Clinton raped her, remains ignored or smeared and lied about. I spoke to journalist Joshua Kendall about Bill Clinton's treatment of women and the multiple allegations of rape made by women we haven't even heard of.

Bonus interview with David https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-david-on-23551019 award-winning journalist David Sirota finally admits that he's biased towards saving the planet. We chat about the backlash he provoked with a factual tweet about Beto O'Rourke, antisemitic criticism of Sanders, and the media's fear of issues-driven politics.

Roseann DeMoro on ageism, Abdul El-Sayed on empathy, Maria Svart on socialist feminism by Katie Halper

As the Senate gets ready to vote on #SJRes54, the resolution to stop US support of Saudi bombing of Yemen, we talk to Walker Bragman, whose @opdesanitize #opdesanitize twitter account publishes graphic photos from war zones the US is involved in--mainly Yemen, which has been blocked by Twitter. Then I speak to Yemeni-American activist Rabyaah Althaibani. #coveryemen
