Bonus extended interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/15197523

I talk to Marc Fliedner, who is running as a write-in candidate against Cy Vance the (up until now)unopposed candidate for Manhattan DA. Marc had already run for Brooklyn DA but when it was revealed that Vance had declined to prosecute Harvey Weinstein and had accepted money from Weinstein's lawyer, Fiedner decided to jump into the race. I talk to Marc about what and who convinced him to run, his historic conviction of NYPD officer Peter Liang in the killing of Akai Gurley, and what he would do as DA.

This is our LIVE TAPING episode with Khader El-Yateem and Jabari Brisport, who were inspired to run for city council by Bernie Sanders (whom they admire) and by Trump (whose scary & destructive victory convinced them to enter politics). A Palestinian, Arab-American, socialist Khader El-Yateem is a community organizer & faith leader who is committed to social justice. He talks about how his experience being imprisoned & tortured by Israeli soldiers inspired him to seek understanding and dialog. He ran as a Democrat and though he lost the primary by 7 points, he scored an amazing victory by coming so close and taking on the Democratic Machine. Like Rev. El-Yateem, Jabari Brisport was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). A third generation Brooklyn resident, Jabari is still in the race, having run on the Green Party ticket. We discuss the Bernie Bro Myth, which they shatter as an Arab-American and African American, "coming out," as socialist and why they ran in the parties they did.
