    Unlike in 2020 & 2016, a prescriptive progressive economic agenda hasn't been thrust into mainstream consideration this election cycle. Rather, any talk of the economy has largely centered around questions of inflation: whether Biden is or isn't making it better, and whether leftists are overstating the cost of living struggles of working people. This week, Professor of Economics at SUNY-Cortland Steve Maher joins Bad Faith to assert a positive economic vision for the left, how to defeat globalization, and whether or not right-populists have gotten anything right in these regards -- if only rhetorically. We also debate the value of left electoralism, whether "fraud squad" is a fair charge, and the limits of labor militancy.

    2024 Presidential candidate and bestselling author Marianne Williamson returns to Bad Faith to explain why she unsuspended her campaign, what she makes of RFK’s success, and how her politics toward Israel bear on her approach to the crisis in Gaza. She reflects on past criticism from the left -- including Norm Finkelstein and RBN -- and debates the characterization of her views as "Zionist." Stick around until the end for some Oscars 2024 discussion.

    We're long overdue for an episode on the humanitarian crisis facing the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Clashes between armed groups, resource wars, a post-colonial legacy of foreign interference -- Jason Sterns, Assistant Professor of International Studies and founder of the Advisory Board of Congo Research Group, and Christoph Vogel, former UN Security Council expert on the DRC and author of Conflict Minerals Inc., join Bad Faith to provide some context to this crisis and explain why the DRC has been so overlooked.

    The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur joins Bad Faith to talk his presidential campaign, where he thinks the left should look next now that it's over, and why the Uncommitted campaign is faring so much better than any single outsider candidate so far. And then, inevitably, we have the Force The Vote conversation that's been three years in the making, as we reflect on our different theories of change going into the 2024 season. You wont want to miss this one. Have we managed to re-unify the left?

    Electronic Intifada's Ali Abunimah joins Bad Faith to break down the latest in what some are calling the "mass rape hoax" -- a series of articles and reports that claim to prove a mass rape campaign occurred on October 7th based on circumstantial evidence and a few witnesses with significant credibility issues. Ali walks us through last week's report by UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General Pramila Patten, which claims to hold "convincing information" that Hamas raped Israeli hostages. But with no interviews with alleged victims, and no identifying information about alleged witnesses, does the report tell us anything new? And if the most conclusive findings of the report are to cast doubt several rape claims, why was it reported by the New York Times as uncovering new "evidence" -- at least before they walked back their headline? And if Patten admits she did not conduct an "investigation," what does it claim to prove? But first, Ali gives an update on what's been happening this last week in Gaza, including an update on the horrific flour massacre.

The BK Guy ,

In appreciation

In a time where low standards, both journalistically and politically, seem to have become the standard, it is nurturing and reassuring to have such a talented, principled warrior lead a charge into critique and hopefully change.

Doesn’t matter who I am. ,

Consistently good.

Episode 345 with Anat Shenker-Osorio was particularly great. Thanks!

As a longtime regular listener, I have to say

This podcast is essential listening, not only for the quality of guests and the vast range of their subject matter expertise, but also the patience and intellectual curiosity that the host brings to these conversations. You feel as a listener that Briahna really wants the left to understand its various constituents, learn to better communicate among ourselves, and find common ground. This is the model for political analysis podcasts, an astonishing achievement in our saturated media landscape. Bravo Briahna.
