Empire - 2/17/2024

Sue Kirchmyer, Soundman Jim and Mark explore our word of the week: “empire.” We also cover some stories in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. And we talk about Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson, and the prison death of Russian dissident Alexi Navalny. Then we examine the special counsel’s report of whether President Biden should be prosecuted for his possession of classified military documents in his garage. And then we visit Pakistan, where the Pakistani people have apparently foiled their military’s attempt to rig their national elections, perhaps a lesson we can learn from here. And lastly, we talk about the latest US Postal Service Board of Governor’s neoliberal plans to take mail sorting out of Missoula and move it over 2 mountain passes 200 miles west to Spokane.
