Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Iran, Israel, and U.S. Hegemony

Episode Summary

This special episode features an exclusive interview with United States Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat in his second term.

Episode Notes

Congress' attempts to end the Trump administration's Iran war fiasco have thus far come up short. The same goes for the movement to end U.S. weapons and bulldozer shipments to the Israeli government, which has used American military hardware to destroy Gaza and southern Lebanon, killing tens of thousands of people in the process.

In this conversation with Sen. Van Hollen, we cover the War Powers Act and Iran, unrestrained executive power, the Libya intervention of 2011, Israel and AIPAC, the genocide in Gaza, the future of U.S. hegemony, and more.
