“It's very strange to watch these people who are essentially trying to smuggle humanitarian aid into Gaza. You could say there's a bit of life imitating art, or art imitating life.” Actor Liam Cunningham, star of Game of Thrones, joins Mehdi Hasan on this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ to discuss his support for the liberation of Palestine, his experience with the Gaza aid flotilla coalition and holding governments accountable. He also shares how parts of Game of Thrones and the genocide in Gaza are imitations of one another. This interview was published earlier last week on zeteo.com.

“I think we have to stop doing this thing where we pretend that there's still goodness or something worth protecting over on the Republican side of the aisle. I think that we are so busy thinking and living in this nostalgia for a bipartisanship, for a civility that just does not exist anymore.” Mehdi Hasan sits down with Pennsylvania congresswoman, Summer Lee and discusses the downfall of Democratic Party leadership, policies on the Middle East and Democratic inaction. She also dives in Gaza, Trump and the South African refugee program, while calling her party to “wake up.” This interview was published last week on zeteo.com.

Kamau Bell, the acclaimed comedian and best-selling author, to discuss the student protestors who join a long line of American anti-war protestors, as well as the police’s use of brute force against them.

It’s less than a week until the 2024 US presidential election and who better to discuss the government with than ‘Parks and Rec’ star and comedian Nick Offerman. Recently, Nick released a couple of comedic songs to encourage Americans to vote for Kamala Harris and defeat Donald Trump (hopefully) forever. Mehdi and Nick rant about the Donald Trump x Elon Musk teamup and the influence of corporate money on our media and politics. Mehdi also asks Nick about his recent role playing the president of the United States in Alex Garland’s hit film ‘Civil War’ and what Americans can learn from the cautionary tale about the waning days of a civil war fought on US soil. When discussing Trump, Nick humorously describes in graphic detail what he imagines the former president does on his golden toilet. They finish the conversation discussing the strengths and flaws of the Harris campaign, including her stance on Gaza and US arms sales to Israel. 00:00 - Opening montage 1:04 - Intro 3:15 - Will Harris win? 3:44 - Election anxiety 5:31 - Nick's midwestern politics 6:57 - Online trolls 8:55 - Is Trump an 'alpha male'? 10:51 - Backlash to Nick's political comedy 12:13 - Tony Hinchcliffe and racist comedy 14:03 - Alex Garland's 'Civil War' 18:04 - Could a civil war actually happen? 19:13 - Elon Musk, Twitter, and misinformation 23:25 - Why Trump & Musk? 26:10 - Gaza 27:36 - The Harris campaign 29:12 - Tim Walz 31:22 - Trump & Musk's daddy issues 32:44 - Election night 33:38 - Nick's advice to Harris Subscribe to Zeteo to support independent and unfiltered journalism: https://zeteo.com/subscribe Watch, listen and subscribe to ‘We’re Not Kidding’ on Substack: https://zeteo.com/s/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-and-friends Listen to ‘We’re Not Kidding’ as a podcast: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-friends/id1743028415 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ogT7ZvKhH04CInjNQbbdp Find Zeteo: Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_news Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonews Find Mehdi: Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasan Twitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasan TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasan Find NICK: Twitter: https://x.com/Nick_Offerman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickofferman/ Credits: Hosted by Mehdi Hasan Guest Host: Nick Offerman Executive Producers: Misha Euceph and Kiran Alvi Producer and Editor: Frank Cappello Music: Andy Clausen Design: Alicia Tatone Mix Engineer: Valentino Rivera Title Animation: Ehsaan Mesghali #nickofferman #mehdihasan #politics #election #trump

Following the results of the 2024 US presidential election, Mehdi Hasan is joined by comedians Amanda Seales and Francesca Fiorentini for a post-post-mortem on Democrats’ historic shellacking. They discuss the Harris campaign’s many mistakes, from cozying up to Republican neocons, to abandoning Bernie Sanders-style populism, to inexplicably hiding their only cool person, Tim Walz. The three also explore how Trump was able to increase his support with Black, Latino, and Muslim voters, Joe Rogan’s appeal to “fragile men” on the internet, whether Hawk Tuah girl should interview Noam Chomsky, and they list out their greatest fears of a second Trump presidency, such as violent vigilantism and RFK Jr. being in charge of milk.

‘We’re Not Kidding’ is back! After a not-very-relaxing holiday break, Mehdi is joined by tech and online culture journalist (and new Zeteo contributor!) Taylor Lorenz to discuss the new age of American oligarchy. Trump is back in office and his inauguration was a star-studded showcase of spineless tech billionaires. Mehdi and Taylor also unpack the dumbfounding blunder of Democrats’ TikTok ban, why private ownership of social media platforms by “red-pilled billionaires” is actually BAD for free speech, the MAGAfication of Elon Musk, and whether Mark Zuckerberg looks cool now. Taylor also pushes back against the argument made by Zeteo guest writer Will Stancil, who called for Democrats to go to war with social media companies. 00:00 - Opening montage 1:10 - Intro 1:28 - Washington Post controversy 2:20 - Right-wingers are obsessed with Taylor 4:16 - TikTok ban 9:00 - TikTok censorship 13:14 - Tech billionaires bend to Trump 14:55 - Mark Zuckerberg’s MAGA turn 19:10 - Is Elon Musk the shadow president? 20:20 - Why tech oligarchs are so powerful 21:42 - Free speech & content moderation 27:59 - Breaking up Big Tech 29:21 - Right-wing social media 30:25 - Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk 31:23 - Decentralized social media 33:47 - Regulating social media Subscribe to Zeteo to support independent and unfiltered journalism: https://zeteo.com/subscribe Watch, listen and subscribe to ‘We’re Not Kidding’ on Substack: https://zeteo.com/s/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-and-friends Listen to ‘We’re Not Kidding’ as a podcast: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/were-not-kidding-with-mehdi-friends/id1743028415 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ogT7ZvKhH04CInjNQbbdp Find Zeteo: Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_news Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonews Find Mehdi: Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasan Twitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasan Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasan Find Taylor: Twitter: https://x.com/TaylorLorenz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylorlorenz/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorlorenz Credits: Hosted by Mehdi Hasan Guest Host: Taylor Lorenz Executive Producer: Kiran Alvi Senior Producer and Editor: Frank Cappello Music: Andy Clausen Design: Alicia Tatone Mix Engineer: Valentino Rivera Title Animation: Ehsaan Mesghali

It’s been almost two months since Mehdi and Bassem co-hosted ‘We’re Not Kidding’ together and A LOT has happened since then. As two naturalized US citizens, Mehdi and Bassem co-host again, starting off the conversation discussing the Trump administration’s arrests of international residents in the US who dare to criticize Israel. The two also discuss Israel breaking the ceasefire deal (Bassem compares Israel to the ex you keep expecting better from) and its renewed attacks on Gaza, which have killed over 700 Palestinians in just three days with full political support from the Trump administration. Bassem also points out the inherent hypocrisy of US foreign policy throughout modern history – and how he and Mehdi are each coping with it (or not). 00:00 - Opening montage 0:57 - Intro 3:22 - Mahmoud Khalil 7:25 - US dictatorship? 11:45 - Donald Trump is trolling 15:35 - Detained for political speech 22:17 - Israel breaks the ceasefire 26:55 - Trump and Gaza 32:27 - Public sentiment toward Israel 35:19 - Palestinian journalists 37:16 - Bassem’s next steps Subscribe to Zeteo to support independent and unfiltered journalism: https://zeteo.com/subscribe Find Zeteo: Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeteo_news Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeteonews TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zeteonews Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/zeteo.com Find Mehdi: Substack: https://substack.com/@mehdirhasan Twitter: https://twitter.com/@mehdirhasan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@mehdirhasan Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mehdirhasan
