CODEPINK Radio

Join CODEPINK’s Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin as they unpack Netanyahu’s UN address and the protests outside, Trump’s pivot toward China, and the war machine’s impact on the climate. Plus, congressional efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Iran war and block U.S. bombs to Israel.

On this episode of CODEPINK Radio, host Marcy Winograd first takes us to DC, where CODEPINK confronts Trump’s toadies–Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, and Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury–over illegal wars, economic sanctions and US and Israel genocide. On the second half, Marcy interviews author David Vine on the Pentagon’s plan to open a new, additional, US military base inside Israel.

This week on CODEPINK Radio, Marcy Winograd and CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin take on the politics of Hollywood, from the backlash against Macklemore and pressure on artists speaking out for Palestine to Susan Sarandon and Mark Ruffalo standing their ground. They also unpack new pressure on Israel over illegal settlements, the expanding U.S.-Israel war on Iran, and the growing resistance to endless war. Then, they turn to artificial intelligence, as warnings from inside the industry fuel calls to rein in increasingly powerful AI and confront its already deadly role in modern warfare.

On this episode of CODEPINK Radio, host Marcy Winograd interviews economist and author Jeffrey Sachs on why US illegal sanctions on five sectors of Iran’s economy will fail to collapse the Iranian government. In the second half of our program, we meet Sonali Kolhatkar, broadcaster and author of a new book, “Breaking ICE: Community Defense Against State Terror and MAGA Fascism.

In this episode, host Marcy Winograd shares testimony calling on the Los Angeles Unified School District Board to keep Israel propagandists out of our classrooms, where the Brandeis Center on Human Rights seeks to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This episode also features segments from a recent CODEPINK webinar: China is Not our Enemy. Webinar hosts Jodie Evans and Megan Russell challenge US imperialism in East Asia, where over 300 US military bases surround China.
