10/4/19 Andrew Cockburn on the America’s Military-Industrial Swamp
Andrew Cockburn talks about what he calls the legal corruption of the U.S. government and various lobbying industries. Whether it’s arms manufacturers, steel, farmers, or health insurance, practically every major industry in the U.S.—and some industries abroad—works with politicians to get favors and special treatment. Joe and Hunter Biden’s scandal with Ukrainian energy companies is just the most recent example, but is certainly not unique. Unfortunately partisan loyalty clouds people’s judgment and makes them accept these behaviors as normal when “their team” does it.
Discussed on the show:
- “Just How Swampy Are U.S.-Saudi Arms Deals?” (The American Conservative)
- “Hunter Biden’s Legal, Socially Acceptable Corruption” (The Atlantic)
- “Ukraine crisis: Transcript of leaked Nuland-Pyatt call” (BBC News)
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
- Wolf Street | The stories behind business, finance, and money
Andrew Cockburn is the Washington editor of Harper’s Magazine and the author of Kill Chain: The Rise of the High-Tech Assassins. Follow him on Twitter @andrewmcockburn.
