Who'll Win the 'MAGA Podcast Wars'? Krystal Ball and Mehdi on Ben Shapiro vs. Tucker Carlson, AIPAC, and Iran

If you're as terminally online as the rest of us at Zeteo, you
may have noticed that conservative podcasters are at war with
each other. Ben Shapiro is attacking Candace Owens, Tucker
Carlson is attacking Ben Shapiro, and everyone is attacking Mark
Levin. So for this week's 'We're Not Kidding', Mehdi is joined by
Krystal Ball, co-host of the massively popular online news show
'Breaking Points', to unpack all of the MAGA drama.

The two also get into how Donald Trump's disastrous war with Iran
is creating even MORE rifts within the Republican party, Israel
and Netanyahu's role in instigating the war, and why we shouldn't
totally trust defectors like Trump's now former counterterrorism
chief Joe Kent. "They are very comfortable saying, 'Israel,
Israel, Israel. It's all Israel's fault,'" Krystal says. "But at
the end of the day, this is Donald Trump's war. He's not a baby.
He's the most powerful man on the planet."

The two also discuss:

Krystal's famous hardball interview with Sen. Elissa Slotkin.

How AIPAC's brand has become "completely toxic" with
Democratic voters.

Why podcasts will be important for 2028 presidential
candidates.

And whether Gavin Newsom will be brave enough to appear on
'Mehdi Unfiltered' or 'Breaking Points'...
