Ep. 38 Annelle Sheline on Biden ending US support of Saudi offensive military action in Yemen
Annelle Sheline from the Quincy Institute joins me to talk about how authoritarian regimes in the Middle East title themselves "moderate" to stay in power and how US foreign policy influences this. We also talked about Biden's decision to withdrawal offensive military support from Saudi Arabia in Yemen (while still supporting Saudi Arabia defensively), and the decision to remove the FTO designation of the Houthis.

Scott Horton joins me to talk about the wars with Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia and more. He calls the blockade in Yemen "the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet" while they're being starved out, suffering from two waves of cholera, and now the coronavirus. We shouldn't let the coronavirus distract from the US government's war efforts. Scott says that we should bring all troops home now during this pandemic.

Commander Dale Brown joined me to discuss his private security firm, Threat Management Center. They aren't private police because he doesn't think people want to be policed by them. He noticed that police do not protect, they only enforce law, so he created this firm to educate people on the law, teach them urban survival tactics and, above all, protect people from predation and protect life. Threat Management serves approximately 5,000 families in Detroit. He adopted an anti-kill philosophy, and has found that a byproduct of it is also prosperity. When there is less death and prosecution, there is more prosperity in that society! Crime has drastically reduced in the areas of Detroit that they serve.

Economist Tate Fegley joined me to talk about the economics of privatizing the police and whether or not it would decrease police brutality. We talked about the structural incentives that make government police unaccountable and why privatizing may be more humane.
