Co-host of Fault Lines on Radio Sputnik Jamarl Thomas joins Misfits hosts Michelle Witte and John Kiriakou to discuss President Joe Biden’s loss of support among Black voters, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s favorable polling among the same demographic, and whether Democrats will try to solve the issue in any other manner than scolding voters.

Journalist and co-editor of Peoples Dispatch Zoe Alexandra discusses the killing of media workers and journalists in Gaza by Israeli forces since October 7th, whether Israel is directly targeting media and civil society figures in the Gaza Strip, and the importance of tribunals to weigh and decide issues of international justice, even if mechanisms for pressure and punishment aren’t going to be brought to bear.
Author and journalist Daniel Lazare discusses how much optimism to feel at the possibility of a prisoner swap and temporary truce in Gaza, how New York charities essentially support terrorism in the West Bank, what to make of the US government’s Hemisphere phone surveillance program targeting Americans, Elon Musk suing Media Matters for defamation, and the chances of third party candidates in 2024.
