In this fiery and unapologetic interview on Al Jazeera’s UpFront with Marc Lamont Hill, Congresswoman Cori Bush doesn't hold back. She directly addresses her loss in the Democratic primary, placing blame squarely on AIPAC’s massive campaign against her. Bush calls out the pro-Israel lobby for deceptive ads and highlights the $8 million spent to unseat her, all while she stood firm for Palestinian Liberation and Black Liberation. In a powerful response to accusations of anti-Semitism and political priorities, Bush declares, "AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down." Watch as she discusses the intersection of Black and Palestinian solidarity, Biden’s foreign policy, and her future political strategy. This interview goes deep into the challenges of speaking truth to power, even when it comes with heavy consequences.

Cori Bush is a trailblazing U.S. Congresswoman from Missouri, community activist, and a former nurse who rose to prominence during the Ferguson protests. Known for her fierce advocacy on issues such as police violence, housing justice, Black maternal health, and reparations, Bush is also a leading voice in the call for Palestinian Liberation. Her unapologetic activism has put her at odds with powerful political forces, but she continues to fight for justice across borders.

“Should the United States have done more, and should we do more, to hold Netanyahu accountable? The answer is absolutely yes… if I were to say, look, you know, we're going to continue to not give you offensive weapons, etc., he will say you were on the losing end of that [Congressional] vote.”

Congressman Ro Khanna of California recently participated in a Congressional delegation that traveled to the Middle East and met with Benjamin Netanyahu. “I think it's important for progressive voices to be in the room, and I was very, very, candid with him,” says Khanna. Mehdi pressed Khanna on the US not holding Israel accountable, Harris’s failing campaign, and why Khanna thinks Elon Musk could have been on the side of the Democrats this election.

“You cannot do outreach to a community when you cannot deliver the thing that they are asking for. And so, unless and when that happens, I am afraid that these voters are not going to come over and vote for her.”

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar joins Mehdi to discuss Kamala Harris, Arab and Muslim voters, Gaza, Trump, AIPAC, and more.

Jon Stewart examines the choice undecided voters are facing in the 2024 election: Kamala Harris, who has an impressive résumé and specific policy plans, versus Donald Trump, whose vision, consistency on issues, anti-labor ethos, and militaristic posturing are at odds with the caricature his followers have created for him.
