https://rumble.media/episode209transcript/ Interview with Chris Hedges.
"Chris Hedges teaches us how we can see the decaying symptoms of empire in our own country with unemployment, opioid overdoses, mass shootings and the like. I wanted to have Chris on today to discuss Afghanistan, and empire, and the upcoming 9/11 anniversary. And we’ll get into that. But first, the awful news out of Texas here in the last 24 plus hours where the Trump-dominated Supreme Court in D.C., the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block Texas from banning abortion, effectively killing Roe v. Wade. They will hear an actual case in this next session where it is predicted that they will in some form, if not in all forms, overturn Roe v. Wade. This has happened, though, now effectively in Texas. Chris knows an awful lot about this subject. In 2008, he wrote a book called “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America.” It’s a scary book where he spends hundreds of hours interviewing Christian right-wingers, and being a Presbyterian minister himself and with his divinity degree from Harvard, they are fascinating conversations about Christianity…and then Christianity. He also attended, he writes in the American book, a lot of rallies by the Patriot pastors and other creationist in their seminars and all this. It’s really, it’s an amazing book. And I thought we will start off by talking about Texas and then get into the issues at hand here regarding the end of the war in Afghanistan. Chris Hedges, welcome to Rumble."
