On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon & Lee Stranahan talked with guests about the political unrest taking place this weekend in the United States, Trump's responses, and how his statements belie the United States' own militaristic foreign policy and overbearing economic agenda.

In our first hour we spoke with Maram Susli about the United States' civil unrest, rioting, and looting -- and also looked at the coutnry's looting of Syrian oil and its burning of Syrian wheat fields. We talked about the nationwide George Floyd protests, rioting, and Trump's response.
In our second hour we spoke with Robert Wenzel about the protests, why they got kicked off, and what he thinks it says about our political philosophy that somebody died as a result of trying to do what the Fed does every day. Afterwords we spoke with Margaret Kimberley about the protests, what ties them to the problems facing black people in America, and how we should orient ourselves to understand what's happening.
In our third hour we were joined by Tyler P. Nixon to talk about what would count as justice for Roger Stone, what the man has to say now that he's being permitted to speak, and where the suppression of political speech conflicts with America's core principles.
