Consumer advocate & 2000 Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader joins Bad Faith to weigh in on the revolving chairs of the Green Party's presidential candidates, the strategic value of Cornel West running as an independent, & how left voters should decide between a hypothetical 2024 match-up between Dr. West and Dr. Jill Stein. Briahna also asks Nader to address recent reporting that he would "help Joe Biden win," how people power can beat AIPAC, and whether he, as perhaps the most prominent Arab-American politician in the US, has been able to connect with Rashida Tlaib since her censure by Congress. Nader also explains the immense value of his print media publication Capital Hill Citizen and why every leftist looking to push left politics forward should pick up a copy.

After the siege of Gaza began Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sought to assuage the public about America's investment in Israel: Don't worry, she said, we can afford two wars -- both the war in Ukraine and Israel's bombardment of Palestine. Brie asked Richard Wolff, Marxist economist, New School professor, and Janet Yellen's former classmate: Is she right? What about the inflationary effect of military spending? Do alternative ways to address inflation like a wage/price freeze undermine our labor goals? And what's next for the Cornel West campaign? We discuss it all on this week's free episode.

Former Bernie 2020 co-chair, Ohio State Senator, and congressional candidate Nina Turner rejoins Bad Faith to talk about her new movement organization We Are Somebody. What does Turner hope to accomplish that's different than other advocacy orgs and how? Can lefty orgs regain the trust of the donor base after being disappointed by Bernie after the end of his campaigns? And how is she thinking about AIPAC as an obstacle to progressive candidacies and movements given what she went through running for Congress in OH-11, and given the political environment post-10/7?

Is this fair? And given what we already know about how Justin (and the MSM) treated their break up, does this really change how we think about Timberlake, or just deepen pre-existing skepticism. Also, Will & Jada Pinkett Smith are back in the news post-"slap" due to Jada's new biography. But unlike Britney, the public has largely criticized her for "oversharing." Is that fair? Is she really saying more than Will about their relationship? And is he really "cucked," or complicit?

As war rages in Gaza, Briahna sits down with the son of an Israeli general who was raised a patriotic Zionist, but whose perspective changed after the tragic loss of his niece to a terrorist attack. Driven by that tragedy to figure out what why a Palestinian suicide bomber would take his own life along with the lives of innocents, Miko Peled began questioning everything he believed about Zionism. In this candid and emotional interview, the author of The General’s Son: The Journey of an Israeli in Palestine grapples with provocative and vital questions, like "Does Israel have a right to exist?" and "Should we in the West refer to Hamas as a terrorist group?" -- the central issues to a century-long conflict that someone with Miko's life experience is most qualified to delve into. A fascinating and fearless episode giving honest context to the state of innocent millions desperate to escape the cycle of violence in the Middle East.
