| 6/22/26 | Episode 586 (Promo) - What's The Deal With Zohran & The NYPD? (w/ Alex Vitale) | As an abolitionist professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and member of Zohran Mamdani's transition team advising on community safety, Alex Vitale is the perfect guest to help us understand some concerning choices Mamdani has made with respect to policing since becoming Mayor of New York City. In addition to the mystery of why he kept on billionaire zionist police commissioner Jessica Tisch, Mamdani is now being questioned over his choice to violate his campaign promise not to expand the police force. Earlier this month, Tisch announced that the NYPD would be hiring 580 more officers -- a choice met with rare rebuke from the DSA. Vitale offers his perspective on what might be going on here, and engages with the perennial question: Why has the left abandoned defund? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

| 6/18/26 | Episode 585 - Left Nationalism vs Left Internationalism (w/ Chris Alfonso) | Short-form socialism-explainer Chris Alfonso, aka Jean-Paul Fartre, returns to Bad Faith pod to noodle on the nature of US empire and answer a question recently presented in a conversation between NYT podcaster Ezra Klein & Bernie foreign policy advisor Matt Duss: Is the left's goal a left nationalism or a left internationalism? What does left internationalism mean if raising workers' standards of living is the sine qua non of left advocacy, but doing so sometimes comes at the expense of the global south? But first: The Knicks win, and why JLo's controversial Subway Takes take is right. Also, we weigh in on progressive wins on election day, Graham Platner's origin story, and two recent cop killings that demonstrate why the defund movement should not die.

| 6/15/26 | Episode 584 - America First Is Incompatible w/ Anti-Imperialism: Taking Down the Compatible Right (w/ Gabriel Rockhill) | Philosopher and author of Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?, Gabriel Rockhill, returns to Bad Faith to expand on his criticism of the "compatible left" -- a type of reformist leftist who is elevated by the establishment due to their unwillingness to support actually existing socialism. A recent hit piece on Chris Smalls in Jacobin, unqualified support for mercenary Graham Platner -- how does Rockhill interpret what's going on with the establishment left, and what does he make of the right's leadership on criticism of Palestine? Is Tucker's "America First" politics fundamentally incompatible with imperialism? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

| 6/11/26 | Episode 583 - Debate: Should Democrats Campaign on Climate Change Anymore? (W/ Matt Huber & Aaron Regunberg) | A few weeks ago, we had an all star panel to discuss AI data centers and the pivot in both liberal and left publications away from embracing climate change as an issue. One of those articles was written in the New York Times by Syracuse professor Matt Huber, who teachers in the geography and environment department. Today, Huber joins the podcast with AI panelist Aaron Reguberg to push back on how his argument was characterized, and to defend his take that Democrats don't have to campaign on climate change anymore because they can win by prioritizing economic issues. Are these ideas in tension? Does opposing AI data centers constitute both a material and environmental issue? Did Green New Deal advocacy hurt Democrats? Was it unpopular, or was it thwarted by the Democratic establishment before it had a chance to be explained? Is the takeaway from Mamdani's success in New York City that Democrats should decenter climate? Why is Briahna defending AOC? | — | ||||||
| 6/8/26 | Promo - Episode 582 Debunking the Rape Hoax Redux (w/ Ali Abunimah) | Executive director of the Electronic Intifada, Ali Abunimah, returns to Bad Faith to break down the latest attempt by Zionists to push the "mass rape" narrative that has greased the runway for Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, but stays to debate the role Tucker Carlson should play in advancing the lefts anti war and anti imperialist aims. A fascinating exploration of ethnics, media, and progressive values with one of the left's best journalists. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

| 6/4/26 | Episode 581 - Sick Saad World (w/ Matt McManus) | Spelman College professor and author of The Political Right & Equality, & The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism, returns to Bad Faith to to discuss his recent article on the Gad Saad, the poor man's Jordan Peterson, his case against "suicidal empathy," and what it shows about the status of the conservative movement. But first, we cover the latest Graham Platner sexting scandal, the NYC Israel Parade, & the California election results. https://jacobin.com/2026/05/saad-empathy-conservatism-book-review Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

| 5/28/26 | Episode 579 - On The Potential of Art & The Limits of Tucker Carlson (w/ Saul Williams) | Poet, musician, actor, & writer Saul Williams joins Bad Faith podcast for the first time to talk about how art can help feed this revolutionary moment and expand our understanding of our potential as a global community. But also, Briahna is still hyper-fixated on the prominent role the Israel-critical right is playing in the anti-war space, and what the implications are for building a left, anti war, internationalist movement that can't be "America first" insofar as our way of life is dependent on the immiseration of the global south. We work through all of this in a deeply nuanced, compassionate, and musical 2 hour chat. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

| 5/21/26 | Episode 577 - Where Are All The Eco-Terrorists? (w/ Yasha Levine, Edward Ongweso Jr., & Aaron Regunberg) | We've assembled an all-star panel of journalists to break down the controversy around the AI data centers being built across the country. We start with a discussion of the curious & controversial Jacobin piece by Holly Buck in which she opposes Bernie Sanders' data center moratorium. Why would a left publication advance a take that so obviously benefits big AI? Journalists Levine, Ongweso & Regunberg go on cover Tucker Carlson's take down of Billionaire Kevin O'Leary over O'Leary's Utah data center that's anticipated to be twice the size of Manhattan, the surveillance implications of said centers, the media campaign to get Democrats to stop talking about all environmental issues, the ratcheting up of criminal penalties for protestors, and what this means for millions of Americans who find themselves living in the shadow of these AI energy hogs.

| 5/18/26 | Episode 576 - Canceled, Not Silenced (w/ Rami Elghandour) | Biotech entrepreneur and producer of The Voice of Hind Rajab, Rami Elghandour, was scheduled to speak at his alma mater, Rutgers University, but two weeks before graduation his appearance was canceled -- apparently due to complaints from a small number of students on campus. Though never given a clear explanation, some have pointed to Israel-critical social media posts relating to Nicholas Kristof's viral op-ed about IDF rape culture as the reason. In other words, he was targeted for anti-Zionist speech. Rami joins Bad Faith to discuss what happened, the fall out from the Kristof piece, and the future of the party politics post-Gaza.

Also, Stephen A Smith on wishing Black Americans would vote Republican, Zohran Mamdani balancing NYC's budget, and Saeed's latest article on whether charismatic leftists like Mamdani serve to normalize establishment politicians like Barack Obama. https://sanasaeed.substack.com/p/the-charisma-of-empire-obama-mamdani Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

| 5/11/26 | Episode 574 Promo -Green Wave UK: How They Did It (w/ Ash Sarkar) | British journalist and Senior Editor at Novara media, Ash Sarkar, joins Bad Faith to unpack the UK Green Party's huge successes last week under the new leadership of Zack Polanski. After winning big, Polanski declared that Britain's two party politics are "dead and buried," and that Green vs Reform has replaced the old Labor vs Conservatives dynamic. What techniques might translate into lessons for the US Green Party which hopes to displace Democrats in our two party system, and what obstacles are unique to the US? Will Polanski be derailed by anti-semitism allegations, or will he continue to succeed where Corbyn failed? How should the left handle bad faith attacks from establishment media? Should we take a cue from Trump and simply never apologize or back down? Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.

Recent polling shows he's within striking distance of the top three Democratic candidates, who are all in a dead heat with 10 percent of the vote each. In California's "jungle primary" system, the top two go on to battle it out in final round, so Democrats are panicking about the prospect of two Republicans in the top two or -- even scarier -- a Green Party candidate making it to the final ballot. Professor Ware details the rough injustice of the closed court proceeding in which he was kicked off the ballot, the plan to appeal the decision, and why every leftist and resistance lib in the country should be focused on wresting the world's third biggest economy away from the corporate duopoly.
