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.

Presidential candidate Dr. Cornel West returns to Bad Faith to talk about his choice to leave the Green Party and whether it’s really the best strategic option. He then weighs in on the latest violence in Israel/Palestine and the controversies around the left’s response. What does he make of the joint letter of Harvard student groups in response to Hamas’ attack? How does one acknowledge grief and compassion at the murder of Israeli civilians, without validating media narratives that exclusively value Israeli lives without acknowledging the ongoing occupation of Palestinians? It’s the kind of tough, empathic, important conversation we’ve come to expect from Dr. West.
