Great convo - I will look for her on Twitter. Thank you for the interview.

[JW-boql]

This is an amazing discussion. I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

[Yourismouter]

wow great conversation! Love Rania Khalek, anytime I read an investigative piece or op-ed on FAIR, AlterNet or Intercept, its a treat. brilliant mythbuster and muckraker, I encourage people to check out her work on Shadowproof, and donate generously to her.

Between Nomiki Konst, Rania Khalek, and Rosario Dawson, Bernie Sanders has all of the most gorgeous women in his camp by far compared to any of the other candidates.

I like a lot of what Rania has to say. Her argument that Clintonian liberalism creates the conditions for fascism is compelling. But the irony of her complaining about false equivalence in journalism and then equating Clinton foreign policy to Trump's ban on Muslims is really palpable. Yes, they're both bad, but you're kidding yourself if you think Trump won't kowtow to neo-con influence on foreign policy.

Plus there's the issue of single issue voting. Clinton's foreign policy record is terrible, but what about women's rights? What about education? What about LGBQT rights? What about immigration and mass deportation? What about taxes and the economy? Come on, Rania. There's a world of difference between Clinton and Trump on a slew of issues.

Great discussion as always, Ben.

I'd encourage people to vote for Jill Stein. It's a moral vote; a moral choice.

[Charles-ttdr]

I feel the same way as Ms. Khalek. If Hillary is the nominee i can't vote for her. My vote is going to Dr. Jill Stein. Plus she's the only candidate who supports Reparations for Black ppl!!!

[DeadMarine]

Oh a side note, Khalek is a very attractive woman! WOW

[eddiemaxblack]

If the society were different, if everyone were in a Union, as it were, you wouldn't see the emergence of Trump.
Trump emerges after 30 plus years of neo-liberalism. Anyone who is paying attention would've seen this coming.

YOUR GUEST HAS A VERY GOOD POINT. BAN OR BOMB. I ALREADY KNOWN I COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY BUT I DIDN'T THINK OF IT IN THE WAY YOUR GUEST DID. I THINK SHE HAS A VERY GOOD POINT.

Awesome interview!

Here's a question for anyone who can help. At 19:01 Rania says that 70% of millennial women support Bernie. I saw comparable numbers in the USA Today/Rock the Vote survey:
Does anyone know of any more surveys that gauge the levels of millennial women's support for Bernie?

[ferasalhati]

I'm not done with te vid yet, but i love her writings on "Electronic Intifada", and she's brilliant. This is the first time i see her and she's a babe...had to say it lol.
