In this episode of ‘Two Outspoken,’ Mehdi and Owen find plenty to both agree and disagree about, from the role of the economy in the Dems’ landslide defeat, to the impact of misinformation and media bias. Their wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation comes on the heels of a headline-grabbing statement from Senator Bernie Sanders accusing the Democrats of abandoning the working class.

The pair also discuss Harris’ failure to offer an ambitious economic agenda to the American people; the anti-incumbency effect both in the United States and across the post-pandemic democratic world; and the power of right-wing messaging and - let’s be honest - propaganda.

In the latest episode of ‘Two Outspoken’, Mehdi and Owen get outraged about the lack of outrage in the US and UK in the wake of Israel’s ongoing aerial bombardment in Lebanon, attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians, with many calling it the deadliest week in the country in decades. (This conversation was recorded just before Israel announced it was also preparing for a ground invasion of Lebanon as well.)

The normalization of these tragedies raises serious questions about the value placed on Arab lives. Drawing parallels to past conflicts, they shed light on the systematic indifference shown by governments and media alike, as the specter of genocide looms large. Will Israel repeat in Lebanon what it has done in Gaza?

In this episode of ‘Two Outspoken’, Mehdi and Owen talk through what this historic period in American history means - what many are calling the decline of the U.S.. From how it resembles the former Soviet Union in its dying days; to how Donald Trump - if he wins! - is planning to rebuild the nation in his autocratic image; to the implications around the world for human rights and international law, especially when it comes to Israel and Palestine. 

In their discussion on foreign policy, Mehdi and Owen call out the politicians of the West for not seeing the Palestinian people as human beings, and the brazen double standards that have been revealed over the course of the last 9 months of genocidal violence in Gaza.

In the latest episode of ‘Two Outspoken’, Mehdi and Owen discuss the rescue in Gaza that saved four Israelis but also killed hundreds of Palestinians in the process, proving how little value Israel’s far-right government - and its Western allies - place on Palestinian’s lives. They also debunk U.S. government talking points on how Israel has accepted a ceasefire deal but Hamas hasn’t.

In this episode, Owen and Mehdi discuss the UK’s looming July 4th election, the Labour Party’s decision to suspend Faiza Shaheen’s candidacy, and Nigel Farage’s latest attempt to normalize Islamophobia. 

Mehdi brings up UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s not-so-hopeful start to the campaign and how this election comes as Sunak’s Conservative Party has become widely unpopular, after going through three different prime ministers in the space of one parliament with no election. On the topic of Gaza, Mehdi called out the U.S. State Department for refusing to call Israel’s invasion of Rafah a full ground invasion and both discussed Nigel Farage’s Islamophobic comments on Sky News.

The International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor announced Monday that he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. In response, ‘Two Outspoken’ hosted a special breaking news town hall for Zeteo paid subscribers where Owen and Mehdi were joined by two guests: former PLO legal adviser Diana Buttu and Israeli academic Ilan Pappé.

They also covered what a shock it is for the Israeli political class to find itself held to account by international legal institutions; and whether this move will change anything on the ground for Palestinians.

In this episode Owen and Mehdi discuss the ongoing misrepresentation of college protests in the mainstream media, the debate over genocide in Gaza, and the London mayoral elections. Plus, Mehdi takes us back in time to read Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter from a Birmingham jail about the “white moderate,” and reflects on its relevance to modern-day politicians, particularly in light of recent comments made by President Joe Biden.

They also touch on the London mayoral elections and the challenges faced by Sadiq Khan, particularly in the context of his stance on issues like Gaza and Islamophobia. And Mehdi highlights the importance of context in journalism and the need to address misinformation and prejudice in public discourse.
