Empire Files on Nov 27, 2019

Abby Martin sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Chris Hedges to discuss the ignored reality behind Trump, the bipartisan road from neoliberalism to fascism, how the Democratic elite are an institution of corporate power, and how there’s no way out through the #2020election without destroying the system.

    • Btw it’s David Llewellyn Foster here, hi! I’ve been offline for a couple of months travelling in W. Europe, had to log-in again to WordPress as davidlfos. Yes, this is a deeply sobering interview. CH articulates the most searing truths. I’d love a transcript of this.

      • Wow, two months of traveling; hope you had a wonderful time, especially being offline.

        While far from ideal, you can copy the transcript via the video by clicking on the 3 dots below the video, then choosing “open transcript”. You can also take the timestamps off, if you like.
