The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal joins Himmy to critique Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for refusing to partner with Marjorie Taylor Greene on efforts to cut military aid to Israel while calling Greene a "white nationalist, even though AOC previously partnered with Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to sanction China. He argues that AOC's refusal is a calculated effort to prioritize identity politics over the desire to stop genocide. He adds that while AOC claims to care about outcomes, she voted against Greene's amendment to strip $500 million from Israel's Iron Dome, voted "present" on another weapons package, and only belatedly called the Gaza massacre a genocide after being confronted by activists. Max contrasts Greene, who "gave up her political career" by defying Donald Trump to stand against genocide and the Epstein class, with AOC, who "protected the architects of genocide" and has now "fully morphed into Nancy Pelosi Jr." He concludes that AOC is an "empty vessel" for calculating strategists who want to use Palestine to win over young voters while preserving imperialism, and that if she runs for president, she will maintain the cold war with China and Russia despite her progressive branding. Plus segments on the UN's shocking reversal on doomsday climate predictions and Trump advisor Kevin Hassett raving about increased credit card spending. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Tony Heller and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!
