Will the Republics Survive the Empire? – State vs. Defense: The Battle to Define America’s Empire by Stephen Glain

FULL PROGRAM

Part 1

Today we look into one subject in depth and that is the American Empire and the conflicting forces within it, State versus Defense. We speak with the author of an important new book that not only reveals the hidden history of manipulation and miscalculation that changed the Republic into an Empire, but we look into the extent to which the Empire is destroying the Republic, and finally ahead to what might be the final folly of Empire, a war between the U.S. and China.

Stephen Glain, the author of the new book “State Vs. Defense: The Battle to Define America’s Empire” joins us for an extended in-depth interview into our foreign policy, what shaped it, who controls it, and how it can be changed before it is too late.
