Stephen Semler, Co-Founder of the Security Policy Reform Institute (SPRI), a think tank that develops policies for the working class, returns to Bad Faith to talk about the latest bombshell from ProPublica, which revealed that Secretary of State Antony Blinken lied to Congress about Israel blocking aid to Gaza in order to avoid a disruption to the shipment of US weapons to Israel. Semler also weighs in on Israel's escalation in Lebanon, the controversy around pop artist Chappell Roan’s refusal to endorse Kamala, and Biden's latest bid on The View.
