>So, Trump won. We've assembled some of my favorite leftists to unpack why. Host of the Katie Halper Show and co-host of Useful Idiots Podcast, Katie Halper, weighs in on the left's predictions about the impact Gaza might have on this election, and takes down the mainstream media narratives that emerged immediately following Trump's win. Independent journalist Zaid Jilani hails from swing state Georgia, offers a unique perspective on the state, as well as the choice to prioritize identity politics over the material needs of voters. Last but not least, journalist Malaika Jabali offers insights from on the ground reporting in Wisconsin-- a state that ended up being an under observed harbinger of the future of the Democratic Party.

>Attorney, writer and podcast host Esha K joins Bad Faith for a deep dive into how the US government has used culture to surreptitiously influence the politics of Americans. From funding art styles through patronage at major museums, to consulting on action movies, to recruiting artists to do world wide tours showcasing American "equality," the government's interest in influencing culture raises questions about how invested the left should be in recruiting popular figures to advance our message.

>Critical Black Studies scholar of political theory, political economy, intellectual history, and political and historical sociology, Dr. CBS, returns to Bad Faith two years after offering up her predictions on what at 2024 Kamala run would look like. She offers her perspective on Kamala endorsements from the radical Black left, including Angela Davis, Jill Stein and Bruce Ware's viral performance on The Breakfast Club -- a major Black radio station, Ta-Nehisi's return to political writing in the form of an anti-Zionist cover story for New York Mag, and more. Dr. CBS & Brie end the episode in an extended debate about the theory of change the left should adopt in the wake of the Squad's "inside strategy" failing.

>Duke Professor of Public Policy, economics, & African American studies, William Darity, is probably the most cited scholar on the issue of the racial wealth gap and reparations. So what does he make of Kamala's agenda for Black America & the state of reparations discourse now post 2020? With more and more Arab and Muslim voters threatening to withhold their votes over the siege in Gaza, why has there never been an "abandon Dems" movement over the party's broken promises to Black Americans? What types of policies would and wouldn't close the racial wealth gap, and why isn't the wealth tax discussed more frequently in these terms?

---

Quick Summary: >1. The speaker reflects on a previous conversation regarding Barack Obama and critiques the expectations placed on his presidency, particularly from the Black community. >1. They emphasize that having a leader who looks like the population does not guarantee advocacy for their interests. >1. The discussion references Kamala Harris and her comments about not solely focusing on Black issues, suggesting a broader trend in representation not equating to advocacy. >1. The speaker expresses low expectations for both Obama and Harris, arguing that historical patterns in leadership indicate that appearances do not ensure commitment to community issues. >1. They stress the importance of substantial policies rather than identity alone in addressing systemic disparities. >1. The conversation touches on the lack of specific policies from Harris for the Black community while acknowledging that policies benefiting Black families would also benefit society as a whole. >1. The speaker critiques Harris's proposed mortgage supplement for first-time homebuyers as an inadequate solution to the racial wealth gap. >1. They discuss the complexities of homeownership and its role in addressing the racial wealth gap in America, noting that homeownership has been romanticized without providing complete solutions. >1. The speaker highlights the significant wealth disparity between Black and white Americans, which remains a critical issue in discussions about economic equality. >1. They suggest that substantial policy changes, including direct payments to Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved, are necessary to effectively tackle the wealth disparity.

>Last week, most eyes were glued to the Democratic National Convention programing: The Lil Jon roll call, AOC proclaiming that Harris is working "tirelessly" for a ceasefire, JB Pritzker bragging that he is a better billionaire than Trump, and Harris proclaiming hers will be the most "lethal" military ever. But the Green Party also had its own nominating convention, which prioritized the issues that once defined the Bernie left. This week, two Green Party National Co-Chairs --Margaret Elisabeth and Craig Cayetano -- join Bad Faith to weigh in on the DNC and contrast it with the Green Party's organizational structure, provide additional insight into why Cornel West may have decided to run as an independent, the new Green Party VP, & whether Uncommitted is wasting their leverage. They also take on the growing volume of anti-Green propaganda shared by high profile liberal accounts like George Takei's. Is the Green Party really doing nothing between presidential elections?

>Consumer advocate, former Green Party presidential candidate, & author Ralph Nader returns to Bad Faith with Briahna Joy Gray to cut through the media gaslighting about Harris "fighting tirelessly" for a ceasefire and to respond to an online-left that has been successfully wooed by "vibes" to embrace Kamala despite her commitment to providing arms to a genocidal state.

>Dr. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute returns to Bad Faith to explain how the Israel's assassination of of Hamas top ceasefire negotiator, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran reflects Israel's lack of good faith and threatens broader regional war. Why does Israel want war with Iran, what are the current risks of escalation in the region? Also, what should we make of Trump's recent meeting with Netanyahu?

>Executive Editor of The American Prospect returns to Bad Faith to help decipher Kamala Harris’s economic policy. Having dodged interviews and eschewed posting policy proposals, we’re left reading the tea leaves— analyzing who she’s surrounded herself with, and what her surrogates have been saying on CNBC and beyond. What does it mean that her brother in law, Uber’s chief legal officer & Obama DOJ alum is a senior advisor? How does someone who fought for drivers to be classified as contract employees advise Kamala’s labor policy? Will she be an ally for the banks over the people— echoing the DOJ’s choices after the financial crash? When people close to the candidate refuse to give straight answers on whether Lina Khan will remain head of the FTC, is it because Kamala is trying to avoid ticking off donors who want her gone? Or because she’s trying to avoid ticking off the voters who think she’s the best thing Biden been did? Few are better equipped than Dayen to break it all down.
