Ep.97: On This July 4th Independence Day, America's Democracy is on Life Support Jul 04, 2021

Show notes

Jared Yates Sexton is the guest on this very special July 4 Independence Day episode of The Truth Report and The Chauncey DeVega Show.

Jared Yates Sexton is the author of several books including "The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage" and "American Rule: How a Nation Conquered the World But Failed Its People".

In this wide-ranging conversation Jared and Chauncey ponder why so many rank-and-file Americans as well as the country's "elites" are in denial about the ongoing and worsening crises that may be the end of the country as they know it.

They also highlight how America is beset by a culture of death and destruction and apocalypse as shown by gangster capitalism, Christian fascism and End Times fantasies, and the Trump-led Republican Party and fascist movement which tried to nullify democracy on Jan 6 – and are continuing to do so.

Jared and Chauncey DeVega reflect on how they have navigated the emotionally challenging task(s) of documenting the ongoing and escalating disaster that is the Age of Trump and ascendant fascism and an American democracy that is on life support.

Ep. 94: What Will Happen When the United States and China Finally Go to War May 30, 2021

Show notes

Elliot Ackerman is both a former White House Fellow and Marine, and served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart.

Ackerman is also as an ex–CIA paramilitary officer.

His new book (co-written with Adm. James Stavridis USN (Ret.)) is The New York Times bestseller 2034: A Novel of the Next World War.

Elliot Ackerman explains how the United States and China could sleepwalk into a world war with one another and the disastrous outcomes of such a global battle.

He also reflects on the book's relationship to Cold War techno thrillers such as Tom Clancy's novels, the vulnerabilities of America's high-tech superweapons such as the F35 and F22 fighter planes, and how the country's 9/11 forever wars in the Middle East and elsewhere have left the U.S. military underprepared to fight a peer competitor such as China.

And Ackerman warns the American people that unlike the conflicts abroad in the aftermath of 9/11 that a war with China may change life as they know it forever.
