1) Dr. Ahmad Javed Yousaf, MD, an internist and pediatrician practicing in Benton, Arkansas, who will recount his horrifying experience providing life saving health care to Palestinian civilians under attack by Israel in Gaza, with a focus on what Americans should know about the human suffering of Gaza's 2.3 million residents, and our nation's role in the carnage.

2) James Risen, a best-selling author and former New York Times reporter, is The Intercept's Senior National Security Correspondent, who waged a seven-year battle, risking jail, after the Bush administration and later the Obama administration sought to force him to testify and reveal his confidential sources in a leak investigation. He’ll discuss the important issues of race and racism in the 2024 election campaign examined in his recent Intercept article, "Racism Is Why Trump is so Popular," where he argues: "Trump’s popularity with his base isn’t the result of economic anxiety, as many claimed in 2016. It’s about race and demographics."

3) Elik Elhanan, a former Israeli Special Forces soldier, a co-founder of the Israeli-Palestinian group Combatants for Peace, now an Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies at the City College of New York, discusses U.S. service men and women now speaking out in opposition to America's support for Israel's war in Gaza, and shares his views re: the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, Israeli public opinion and the looming threat of a wider war in the Middle East.

4) Greg Palast, investigative journalist and New York Times best-selling author of "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy," and director of the film, “Vigilante Inc.: America's New Vote Suppression Hitmen, talks about Georgia's five-member state election board, dominated by MAGA election deniers, that adopted new rules raising alarm about the potential for confusion and interference in the election certification process this November, examined his article, "Prepare for November’s Quiet Coup."
