It's been six months since Mehdi and Bassem Youssef last recorded
an episode of 'We're Not Kidding', so needless to say they
had a lot to catch up on. And what better place to host
their reunion than ArabCon 2025 in Dearborn, Michigan? During
this very special LIVE taping, the duo get candid about the Trump
administration's recent attacks on free speech, the potential of
a Zohran Mamdani victory in New York City, and how much the world
has changed (and sadly not changed) since Israel began its
genocide in Gaza almost two years ago.

Finally, the two take questions from the audience about the use
of social media platforms complicit in genocide, whether either
of them would travel to Israel for work, and how to build
momentum for the BDS movement ('Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions').
Mehdi also gets asked a couple of pointed questions about
condemning Hamas' attack on Oct. 7 and the killing of Israeli
civilians — you don't want to miss his response.
