Talk Nation Radio: Ukraine and the Checkmating of the West

Following last week’s attack on Nice, France, the two Sam’s highlight some particularly awful comments made by Newt Gingrich, a guy once considered to be Donald Trump’s VP pick.

Also, the ACLU’s Kade Crockford joins in to breakdown a crucial federal court ruling that could limit how police use cell phone surveillance technology.

And later, author and activist David Swanson takes on the legality of President Obama’s war against the Islamic State, and what the American people have learned about 9/11 following the release of a classified annex from the official Congressional report on the attacks.

Broadcasted from the Radio Sputnik studios in Washington, DC.
