Can You Trust Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson on Israel? Mehdi and Bassem Debate

It's been six months (!) since Bassem Youssef joined Mehdi for an
episode of 'We're Not Kidding', and since then Israel has started
two new wars, right-wing podcasters have turned on Donald Trump
over his war with Iran, and centrist Democrats have mounted a
cancellation campaign against leftist streamer Hasan Piker. But
before they get to any of that, they dig into Epstein and Mehdi's
viral interview with the so-called "Professor Jiang," the two get
into a friendly argument over which terms and ideas qualify as
religious tropes and how the weaponization of antisemitism by
Zionists has diluted the meaning of the word.

The two also debate whether right-wingers like Candace Owens and
Tucker Carlson can be trusted allies for calling out Israel's
genocide in Gaza and Donald Trump's war with Iran, or if they're
just opportunists who see the writing on the wall for the MAGA
movement. "Why don't you like Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson?"
Bassem asks Mehdi, who explains his position on the two.

The two also discuss:

Zionists cracking down on free speech and civil liberties.

Why "Pax Judaica" is an antisemitic trope and "Greater
Israel" is not.

US citizen Moshe Katz who recently died in Lebanon fighting
for the Israeli military.

Why Bill Maher is… just the worst.
