09 Sep 2026
Donald Trump and Interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez have announced a 'historic' oil deal between the United States and Venezuela. Although the terms remain murky, the deal appears extremely favorable to the U.S. government and very bad for Venezuela. In this episode, Dimitri Lascaris discusses the deal with peace activist and former U.S. Vice-Presidential candidate, Ajamu Baraka. Ajamu and Dimitri also discuss the attitude of Democratic Party leaders toward the Iran war and a highly controversial open letter signed by prominent anti-war activists that is critical of Iran.

FIFA and the Red Card - A Special Bulletin
08 Jul 2026
FIFA and the USA are nothing more than corrupt institutions who rig, renege, and rationalize the fact that neither adheres to their own purported standards - whether it’s the so-called Declaration of Independence or a so-called commitment to “respecting all internationally recognised human rights and shall strive to promote the protection of these rights.” The US and FIFA have, once again, rendered the beautiful game into an ugly exemplar of white “supremacy,” colonialism, and abject hypocrisy. This hypocrisy is exactly why we called for a Boycott of this World Cup and why we continue to educate and mobilize the masses to this effect. Fascism and Football are a terrible combination as the US and FIFA have once again proven.

The Black Alliance for Peace and other organizations have called for a boycott of the 2026 World Cup being held in the United States.

Austin Cole, who is one of three co-coordinators of the Black Alliance for Peace, explains why a boycott of the World Cup and the U.S. is necessary.
