In a heated debate with challenges from Afshin Rattansi, he discusses how he thinks the Democrats will fare in the upcoming midterms in terms of taking back the House and Senate, his argument for why people should vote for the Democrats, what the Democrats’ position on the war on Iran is, and if they will do anything to stop the war, how AIPAC has destroyed its reputation with the Democratic Party, why the US continues to send military aid to Israel despite the Gaza genocide and Israel’s wars of aggression, why the Democrats continue to support more military aid for Ukraine while a majority of Americans oppose continued aid, his opposition to ‘isolationist’ American foreign policy, his defense of the Democrats’ foreign policy as Afshin challenges him on the US’ foreign policy record while the American people suffer, and much more.
