In this fireside chat riff, Adam talks about; Israel assassinating Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif and all of Al Jazeera’s Gaza staff; Israel moving forward with its plan to re-occupy Gaza and push for a Greater Israel in the Middle East; Black American labor activist Chris Smalls being beaten up by Israel; the failure of the mainstream Black media and political class to fight for Black political interests independent of the Democratic Party; The Joe Budden Podcast being absolute trash for wanting to pivot from Marc Lamont Hill discussing Gaza; Trump’s federal takeover of D.C. police, fearmongering of Black crime, and growing fascism; the importance of health and fitness on the Left. (Recorded August 18-19, 2025; addendum recorded August 21, 2025) #joebudden #palestine #gaza
