Editor of the Polemicist Jim Kavanagh joins Misfits hosts Michelle Witte and John Kiriakou to discuss negotiations at the UN Security Council over a ceasefire resolution on Gaza, what the actual value of such a resolution might be, how to understand Israel’s true objectives in Gaza, who stands in the way of delivery of aid to Gaza, how some public opinion is starting to turn against Israel and whether Democrats will pivot in response, whether Palestinian human rights will continue to be ignored by the Biden administration, and US Senator John Fetterman's announcement that he is no longer a progressive.
Human Rights activist and the editor and publisher of Prison Legal News Paul Wright discusses the prevalence of solitary confinement and other forms of torture in the US, what it means to ban the practice in New York City, how solitary confinement policies are being rolled back or hidden in plain sight in US prisons, the novel lengths Alabama is going to to execute one man, and the history of criminal justice “reform” in the US.
Author Jon Jeter discusses rising food prices contributing to rising levels of hunger among American families, what policies are to blame for shameful levels of food insecurity in such a wealthy country, whether comparing former President Donald Trump to Hitler will be a winning campaign message for the Biden campaign, how fear mongering about social violence is used for political purposes, and the shock policies Argentina’s new president is putting into action.
The Misfits also discuss former New York City mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani filing for bankruptcy, and a mass shooting in the Czech Republic.
