Labor attorney, human rights activist, and author Daniel Kovalik joins Misfits hosts Michelle Witte and John Kiriakou to discuss how concerned President Joe Biden should be about a wave of “uncommitted” votes in the Michigan Democratic Primary over his support for Israel’s actions in Gaza, whether Biden has any hopes of recapturing Arab-American voters, whether Congress will be able to pass more government funding by the end of the week and whether any funding will include spending for Israel and Ukraine, what an Federal Aviation Authority report reveals about safety culture at Boeing, and what to expect from this afternoon’s questioning of the former divorce lawyer for Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade, who is caught up in a personal scandal that threatens to derail the Georgia prosecution of former President Donald Trump for alleged election interference.
