Watch the full video to hear Mehdi and Varoufakis' fascinating conversation. They discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, why US Democrats failed so badly in the last election, and why big tech leaders like Musk and Peter Thiel are so invested in pro-Israel speech.
_"When they hear you and me talk about equal political rights from the river to the sea, they get really scared. Because for them, equality is the most potent and threatening word in the English language. Why? They know that they live on stolen land.”_
