Jeremy Scahill
Intercepted (6/26/19)
WHILE DONALD TRUMP is busy threatening millions with deportation, he takes a moment to weigh in on the debate over reparations and doesn’t “see it happening.” This week on Intercepted:
- The House Judiciary Committee holds a historic hearing discussing the lingering effects of slavery and what reparations might look like. Rutgers professor and “Uncivil” podcast co-host Chenjerai Kumanyika argues that demands for reparations should include challenging the driving forces behind slavery: capitalism and imperialism.
- The Intercept’s Ryan Devereaux gives an update on the trial for humanitarian aid worker Scott Warren and discusses the dehumanization that has allowed the war on immigrants to continue for decades.
- Artist and musician Nakhane reflects on growing up queer in South Africa and talks about their new record, “You Will Not Die.”
This is our last episode of the season. Intercepted is going on hiatus for the summer and will return with new episodes in September 2019.
