Abby and Robbie Martin discuss the Likudnik tendencies of the Trump administration and how he's actually accelerating neoconservatism and Zionism in ways that even George W. Bush wasn't willing to do. They go into the bizarre cover story by Dallas police to excuse the 'accidental' murder by one of their officers of Black immigrant, Botham Jean, in his own apartment. The beginning of the podcast focuses on the 17th anniversary of 9/11 and the shocking amount of inconsistencies in regards to the official story. Skip ahead to 1.5 hours in for the Palestine discussion. Hi-rest episode artwork: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DnQI9lFVYAAI3gn.jpg Thanks for listening!
