(01:20) Mnar Muhawesh, editor-in-chief of MintPress News and host of “Behind The Headline,” starts this episode by interviewing Will Coley. The Libertarian Party member and founder of Muslims for Liberty is poised to make history as the United States’ first Muslim vice presidential candidate. Here, he discusses what it’s like to be active in the American political process as a Muslim and delves into the Libertarian Party’s history of breaking barriers for minorities.


(09:42) Geopolitical analyst Eric Draitser expands upon his MintPress News exclusive series “Empire Strikes Back.” He pulls back the curtain on Western-led efforts to destabilize BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), both within their own borders and abroad. The group of emerging economies are decentralizing power away from what he calls “the Western financier, finance capital ruling establishment,” which he says “don’t want to allow any competition to emerge.”
