Episode 151 | June 12, 2024: Canada Fears US Civil War, Many Elderly Will Die Homeless, Cartoonist Jailed in Iran
Manage episode 423251291 series 2966672
The DMZ America podcast is where you'll hear civilized, spirited debate and discussion about the politics and issues of the day. Editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (Left) and Scott Stantis (Right) deliver a fast-paced look at some stories others are missing this week.
First up, a Canadian government assessment of threats to Canadian national security worries aloud about instability on their southern border: us. The worry: “U.S. ideological divisions, democratic erosion, and domestic unrest escalate, plunging the country into civil war.”
Second: People over 50 face a radically increased danger of becoming homeless and dying on the streets. What does the fact that younger generations don't seem to care about the elderly say about American society?
Third: Cartoonist Atena Farghadani, who is on trial at Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court, was charged with "insulting sacred values" and "propagating against the state" for attempting to post her cartoon on the wall outside the home of the Supreme Leader. The court sentenced the cartoonist to six years in prison.
The DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis.
