UNLOCKED

Robbie & Abby do a deep dive on the only DC foreign policy think tank that has managed to slide its tentacles into the so-called 'anti establishment' world of the 'populist right. They go back to the origins of the think-tank starting with founder Herman Kahn the inventor of the nuclear war MAD strategy all the way to their most effective salesman, Saagar Enjeti of the The Hill Rising who attended an Israeli counter terrorism school and wrote for Kim Kagan's Institute for the Study of War right out of 4-year college.

Note: Saagar Enjeti was no longer officially working for the Hudson Institute by January 2021. This podcast was originally released exclusively to Media Roots Patreon subsribers on May 2021.

Time to End the War on Terrorism & Panic Over a Multipolar World  w/ Scott Horton

September 11th 20th Anniversary Part 1 of 2:  The Return of the 9/11 Conspiracy Left, Restrategizing & Turning Over More Stones

Abby and Robbie Martin talk to independent researcher Gumby for a two-part 9/11 20 year anniversary Media Roots Radio special. In light of the Spike Lee controversy about his 9/11 HBO series, they discuss the history of all the prominent officials and Hollywood celebrities that spoke out and questioned the official story, and how that legacy has been whitewashed today. After taking listeners through how the early 9/11 truth movement reached a critical mass within anti-George W Bush liberalism, they reflect how activists could better strategize in lieu of the new opening of discussion around the attacks in 2021. In Part 2, all the media hype surrounding the 20th anniversary is discussed as is the inevitable backlash that came for 9/11 truthers within leftism itself.
