and given that kamala harris has expressed support previously for the green new deal and the world has seen the pictures of the wildfires in the united states the climate crisis being arguably the existential threat to the earth how is she going to triangulate the position of not supporting the green new deal on wednesday well unfortunately the whole biden harris campaign and biden from the beginning and now harris since she's jumped on i mean let's not forget she supported the green new deal that she did and she supported medicare for all and then she didn't you know this whole campaign from the democrats has been predicated on appealing to this sort of middle of the road and i think sort of imaginary independent voter which you know has sort of reliably voted republican over the last few cycles why did obama win decisively twice because despite his shortcomings in actual policy he campaigned to the left he campaigned to progressivism and hope and change in these kinds of things by is not doing that at all biden is openly saying and harris now
11:31 pm
that she is joining him or openly saying look we're campaigning to the center these ideas that bernie sanders had i'm sure we're sort of giving them a little bit of lip service or we're not really going to do any of those things harris pence campaign will have less fireworks because it doesn't include donald trump but it's going to be substantially very similar this debate coming up with harris and pence might be even more disappointing to progresses because it'll be a lot clearer what's happening we don't have the tapes yet from the d.n.c. from wiki leaks like we did in 2016 when it was exposed that there was sabotaging bernie sanders who you are sorry get off but surely there is electoral sense here the fact is biden has can take your vote for granted in all of this support is vote for granted anyway yeah i mean that is the way they seem to be campaigning and i don't know why they didn't learn the lessons of 2016 or simply look at what the republicans of done over the years to over perform. the way that you want to
11:32 pm
campaign is that you expand your base and expand the people that you appeal to what bernie sanders did successfully and as he brought in people who had not been involved in the electoral process before that's why he would be killing trump right now because he'd have traditional democratic voters and an expanded base of brand new voters what biden did very quickly is he constricted that progressive base told them look you're not really welcome here i'm not going to be with medicare for all i'm not going to be with a green new deal i'm not going to say that people shouldn't die simply because they can't afford their health care i'm going to stick to private health care i'm going to be very hawkish with israel i'm not going to talk clearly about palestinian rights all these things right he's going to appeal to the middle of that is a recipe for a loss and what they're saying to us is you have to vote for us no we don't you know no we don't i mean look i'm probably going to walk into a voting booth in michigan in november and i'm probably going to vote for joe biden
11:33 pm
but i still have 2 more debates to watch and i still have to worry about my community and my community the arab american community which is very large here especially in michigan is not just going to blindly go along with biden cause it's not trump ok trump is terrible we don't really look at trump we don't look at the g.o.p. because they don't look at us but if the democrats are going to look at us as arab americans and as progressive as a voting bloc then they need to treat us with the respect that we deserve ok we didn't hear too much about foreign policy at that debate perhaps the next presidential debate we will what do you make of this man and to the blinken who was a top aide to biden when he voted for the iraq war i understand he's a top foreign policy adviser during this election campaign probably a seat at the table in the oval office should biden when he said the 2002 vote for the legal iraq war was a vote for tough diplomacy well he. still the top foreign policy advisor for the
11:34 pm
biden campaign he's if biden wins will probably be a national security advisor or something like that and yes he is hawkish there is a sort of cabal of neo liberal hawkish foreign policy people that are at the center of the biden foreign policy thinking and this is very dangerous especially for the arab world in the muslim world i mean say what you want to bout trump he has a lot of terrible things about him especially domestically but he's sort of like an isolationist what it comes to military action he has engaged in a lot of military action at least as far as american standards go in the last 4 years and especially in the arab world and so it's very fearful actually for a biden foreign policy and you have tony blinken who told arab american and palestinian communities this year that palestinians are to blame for our problems he told us that he repeated these lines of never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity he told us that one of the conditions of the biden campaign or the by
11:35 pm
the administration on palestinians will be have to have to outwardly accept that israel is a jewish state these are nonstarters for palestinians not one word about occupation remember this is a campaign a foreign policy led by blinking and biden that refused to include the word occupation in the democratic party platform so where are we going to be left ok we're going to be left with that in ministration that doesn't completely shut us out like the trumpet ministration but in some ways is that worse when they let you in the door and say that they did and still don't do anything you want some people in our community believe that it's better to stick remain oppositional on the outside that we can get more solidarity from other communities by being on the outside of remaining oppositional then playing a game with it in ministration that has 50 years of experience of protecting israel from any criticism in the world we need to criticize the biden platform now if he.
11:36 pm
whens let him know that we were not taken for granted and that we need to be included clearly in the new administration and our objections need to be preserved if anyone wants to want your amazing video about arab americans they day should definitely if you want to just tell me about that special on the census day but i think what i'm getting at here is we don't really know how many arab americans there are and if they don't vote for biden we know how small the swings were the broad trying to power could actually ironically arab americans be critical to electing bible in the 1st place yeah i mean we could you know we're hundreds of thousands strong here in michigan and michigan could be the state that it all comes down to and it's not only michigan we have strong communities in florida which is a swing state and pennsylvania as well and so the question is look you want to get into a booth secretly and vote for biden that's fine but celebrating him and organizing for him is a major major endorsement without getting anything in return yeah i might vote for
11:37 pm
biden but i'm not going to endorse him or organize form in fact quite the opposite i'm going to keep questioning him and criticizing him up until and after election day so he knows that we're not something to be taken for granted if he wins as arab americans we can swing this election maybe we did in 2016 when trump only won michigan by 10000 votes and i live in a neighborhood here and there are dearborn michigan that has more than 10000 arabs just in this neighborhood so i mean they have to be very careful they cannot take us for granted and sometimes i'm worried about our own community because biden muttered in scholl law at the debate with trump and all of a sudden a lot of people went crazy oh my god he said a word in arabic but what does that matter when he is telling palestinians that they don't deserve the same human rights as rallies when he is still saying that he wants to have strong relations with the saudi government when he is still you know praising these normalization deals with the u.a.e. and bihari and we have to be very careful now. except crumbs you know aht i like
11:38 pm
homeless or saying in charlotte is i think that's enough for you guys throwing there right now i mean of course the you alluded to it that the obama biden administration was brutal on the arab world i mean you look at libya today we have a refugee crisis in the mediterranean do you think in any way that biden would change his stance on being a zionist on the move of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem of reducing weapons sales to israel that are hitting gaza he's actually said on the record all sales of weapons to israel must never be conditional we have absolutely no evidence that biden is going to be open to palestinian concerns and we have to be very careful as palestinians and those who might show solidarity with palestinians not to let trump be the one who set the bar look trump is terrible trump is transactional he's pro zionist because he either doesn't know any better or he thinks he's going to get evangelical votes in the
11:39 pm
south but biden is an actual zionist like he actually believes in these things from a geo political strategy point of view and that's very dangerous and so far he's told us that he might return things to they way they were under the obama administration you know restoring funding to on rwa open up a p.l.o. mission in d.c. but very very importantly without jerusalem he said very clearly he won't move the embassy back to tell of if you want to even consider it he said very clearly before that if they're warning israel we'd have to invent one he said very clearly before i'm a zionist these are things that palestinians in america and arabs in america and those who profess solidarity with the palestinian question here in america need to take very seriously and question very seriously and if you stay quiet during a campaign no matter how you end up voting but if you stay quiet during a campaign well that's approval of what he's doing and saying and it's not going to win you a meaningful seat at the table when things are done it's ok let me see. to arabs
11:40 pm
around the world and arabs in america it's ok to say no to a politician every now and then it's ok to be oppositional you don't have to jump and scream when he says i'm shallow on t.v. you don't have to jump and scream when he says he's better than trump his policies are very very dangerous for us they've been very dangerous for us and we have to be very clear and critical about. thank you thank you from the right from rampant environmental destruction to the staggering death toll of the u.s. war on drugs can collective acts help to heal collective trauma we ask the legendary holy mountain el top a filmmaker john or offbeat about his new film psycho magica even though not all of them all coming up about their own going underground.
11:41 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. as the us economy was booming doing numbers of people when they did. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of the we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing or living minimum wage many people need choice. that's
11:42 pm
