Ron Paul Institute Director Daniel McAdams joins “The Gaggle” host Peter Lavelle and Gaggle co-founder George Szamuely to discuss the national conventions of the Republican and Democratic Parties. Though there were many evident differences in style and in appeal to Americans, when it came to foreign policy there was, with one major exception, in general a single view: more war and more empire. Even as President Trump continues to promise to get the US out of the endless wars, speaker after speaker – including the nauseating Nikki Haley and Sen. Tom Cotton – kept hawking the same old neocon lies. Is there any hope?
