About this listen

In this episode of Today-ish, we sit down with Dr. Butch Ware — professor, author, musician, and Green Party candidate for governor of California.

Butch shares his journey of discovering Malcolm X at 15 and dedicating his life to Islam — a turning point that shaped his faith, scholarship, and activism. We dive into how that path led him into politics and why he’s challenging both Democrats and Republicans in California.

The conversation doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff: Palestine, Zionism, and U.S. foreign policy; the failures of liberals and conservatives; California’s housing crisis and the poverty-industrial complex; climate change, weather modification, and corporate greed; ICE raids and immigration reform; and the rise of censorship and the police state.

Butch Ware speaks with clarity and conviction, weaving together history, personal story, and political vision. Whether you agree with him or not, this episode pushes you to rethink what’s possible for California — and for America.

— Hosted by Dani Love and James Li Subscribe for more sharp, honest, and politically purple conversations.
