Bob had a great discussion w/ Mike Elk, founder and senior labor reporter of Payday Report and our Brazil correspondent, about Trump's tariffs on Brazil to retaliate against it for indicting Bolsonaro, and the decision to arrest him for his attempts to overthrow the election and assassinate Lula.

They also discussed Lula's political prospects and Brazil's position on Palestine. And finally they briefly talked about the role of U.S. labor in opposing Trump and, of course, Fetterman's latest horrors.

🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production

👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)

✂️ Edited by Bob

Green & Red co-host, professor of history emeritus, and scholar of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the Vietnam War, Bob Buzzanco recently spoke at the Jerusalem Fund/Palestine Center Lunchtime Lecture Series on the way the U.S. subverts liberation movements, with a comparative emphasis on Vietnam and Palestine.

In this lecture, he discussed the origins of the Vietnamese and Palestinian revolutions, and especially the importance of land, the initial U.S. interest in both areas due to larger commercial and resource goals, the U.S. "invention" of Israel and South Vietnam, the brutal wars subsidized and fought by the U.S. and the intersection of anti-colonial politics and the Cold War.

This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production. Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969).

Zohran Mamdani's big win in the NYC mayoral primary has shaken the political establishment in both parties, with the GOP predictably shrieking hysterically about "Socialism," Wall Street trying desperately to find an alternative candidate, and the Dems, as always, punching Left and showing their reluctance to endorse him.

And that's our segue to another Green & Red rant about the Democrats and the U.S. political system....

Check it out.
