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.
