What's Going on In California and Adam Hamawy Proves Palestine Matters w/ Sam Seder & Rachel Reyes (Ep 334)

Spencer Pratt, Steve Hilton, and…Sam Seder’s feet? We look at unusual developments in California and beyond as the June 2 primary results unfold, with help from labor and community organizer Rachel Reyes, who's been watching all of this from inside the San Fernando Valley. Then, Sam Seder of the Majority Report joins to break down what the primary results mean for the progressive wing of the party — from the ‘prairie populist’ Josh Turek to Sam Forstag in Montana who was backed by AOC — and specifically, the win of U.S. army doctor Adam Hamawy, who went to Gaza to help victims of Israel’s genocide firsthand. Then, the flawed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner in Maine, and the hilariously bad AI ads from Israel-funded Susan Collins PACs. We discuss the value –or lack thereof– of ‘working with’ the likes of Marjorie Tayor Greene, and how 25% of the Republican party has an immovable desire for authoritarianism. Featuring: Rachel Reyes, labor and community organizer and co-host of LA Podcast, https://www.instagram.com/rchrys/ Sam Seder, host of The Majority Report, https://majority.fm/report/ *Have you ever wanted to join the Frantifa?
