Editor of The Polemicist Jim Kavanagh joins Misfits hosts Michelle Witte and John Kiriakou to discuss who’s pushing impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden in Congress, what to make of some of former President Donald Trump’s recent comments on his plans for another term, whether the return of Alex Jones to Twitter means about the state of free speech on the platform.
President of Healthy California Now and longtime nurses union organizer Michael Lighty discusses the Biden administration's supposed preparation to use "march-in" rights to lower drug costs; how to interpret the timing of this move, so late in this term; how much drug pricing by pharmaceutical corporations is to blame for high drug costs and who else contributes to the problem; and the record amount of medical debt Americans live with everyday.
Political consultant and political organizer Donna Davis discusses why the Biden administration is going over Congress’ head to approve weapons for Israel, which types of weapons Washington finds acceptable to use against Palestinians, what the furor over campus antisemitism is really about, how the economy is affecting some of Biden’s poll numbers, whether selecting a new presidential candidate could actually change the Democratic Party’s chances in 2024, and whether the party’s new blood will want to sit out any races until 2028.
Editor of the Pan-African Newswire Abayomi Azikiwe discusses possible paths to peace between warring factions in Sudan, as well as who has been mediating these discussions and what it means for the people of Sudan moving forward. They also discuss the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the conflict has led to the displacement of over 7 million people.
The Misfits also discuss Argentina’s new president, a Supreme Court rejection of a conversion therapy ban in Washington state, a retraction over controversial shoplifting numbers.
