Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden has for decades supported wars and military interventions across the planet. Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton speak with former State Department Russia adviser James Carden about his experience in the Obama administration. We discuss the ex vice president's role in the wars on Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yugoslavia; his hawkishness against Russia and China; his destructive policies in Latin America; and the Biden family's corruption in Ukraine.
(This interview was recorded on the night of Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020.)

0:00.0 | This is moderate rebels. I'm Ben Norton, joined by my co-host Max Blumenthal. |
0:07.7 | And today we're talking about Joe Biden and how the neoliberal Democratic Party leadership |
0:14.9 | has really forced everyone to unify behind this candidate, Joe Biden, who first of all, we just have to be |
0:23.3 | honest, is suffering from serious mental problems, serious issues of dementia. But also, as we're |
0:28.7 | going to talk about today, I mean, this guy has an odious history, not just in terms of domestic |

1:02.4 | Yeah. |
1:03.2 | First of all, I hope everyone, you know, hangs around for, you know, later on in our, in this |

1:29.5 | team were doing. So I think he's a really special guest who can speak to the mentality of the liberal |
1:36.1 | interventionists who are cohering around Biden. You know, they really represent the foreign |
1:41.7 | policy wing of the party establishment, |
1:44.7 | what you could fairly call the deep state. |
1:47.9 | And their job basically is to secure the financial interests abroad through companies |
