‘Green New Deal can only happen with end of US interventions in Middle East!’ (Sunrise Movement spokesman)

Going Underground green new deal

Firstly, we speak to John Paul Mejia of the Sunrise Movement. He discusses why environmentalists and progressives are demanding the Line 3 pipeline be shut down, the encroachment of many of these fossil fuel pipelines on indigenous peoples’ rights, why all future permits for oil and gas pipelines should be denied, why the Line 3 pipeline is arguably a test of trust between voters of colour and President Joe Biden, why the move away from Middle East oil and the US’ wars in the Middle East, why Biden will face more scrutiny than his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, and much more!

Finally, we speak to Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi, author of ‘The Business Secrets of Drug Dealing: An Almost True Account’. He discusses the person behind the book who came to him admitting he had been a drug kingpin for many years and wanted to tell his story, the rules of surviving as a drug dealer and not getting caught, this anonymous drug kingpin’s belief that the entire American system of justice is inherently racist and how he uses it to his advantage, why the police tend not to learn from their errors, drug dealing during coronavirus, and much more!
