Hussein Assaf, Lebanon-based journalist with VPol, joins the show to break down the latest developments in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon after Trump announced an indefinite ceasefire extension while keeping the naval blockade in place. As Iran refuses to capitulate and prepares for escalation — and Israel continues daily violations of the 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon —is the U.S. headed back toward all-out war with Iran, or can Trump find a way out of the war he is rapidly losing?
Manolo De Los Santos, Executive Director of The People’s Forum and a researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, recently returned from Cuba and will discuss the situation on the ground amid Trump’s ongoing suffocating oil blockade and escalating threats of invasion.
Stanley Carpenter, father of 24-year-old Jalen Carpenter, a Black man was shot and killed by Illinois State Police, joins the show to discuss what he describes as his son’s “assassination” and his demand for justice. He also explains why he is urging Chicago to shut down on May Day to honor Jalen and all victims of police terror.
