Episode 370: Boo US Bases in Israel

Code Pink in D.C. to greet Treasury Secretary Besant as he arrived to testify before a House Committee on Financial Services.

Scott Bessent, you are a murderer.

You are a murderer.

People in Cuba are dying because you are waging economic warfare against children, against mothers, for no reason other than enriching your pockets.

The American people know exactly... what you are doing each and every day, killing and murdering Iranians and Cubans for nothing other than perpetrating Puppet Rubio's agenda of regime change.

Get sanctions on Iran and on Cuba.

They're starving our people.

Stop the sanctions on Iran and Cuba.

You're murdering our families.

You're killing civilians for no reason.

Stop the

sanctions on Iran and Cuba.

I disrupted Scott Besson because he's killing civilians and families and babies for no reason in Iran and Cuba.

And

it's

unacceptable to me.

It's unacceptable to the American people.

And why are you being arrested? Because we don't have free speech in this country.

We don't have access to our lawmakers the way that we should.

It shouldn't be controversial to say you don't want civilians to die for no reason.

You don't need to be starved.

Code Pink versus Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, friend of the billionaire class, no friend of working people and the global south, where sanctions on Iran have led to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz and where a U.S. oil embargo devastates Cuba, resulting in power cuts that force hospital medical staff to manually ventilate newborns during rolling outages.

In testimony before the House Financial Services Committee, Besant defended the Trump administration's economic agenda as, get this, a great comeback.

All while the average price of gas climbed to over $6 a gallon and U.S. debt crossed the $40 trillion mark.

Here's Representative Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts grilling Besant.
