It's been one whole year since the launch of 'We're Not Kidding',
and for our anniversary episode Mehdi is joined by comedian and
internet superstar Gianmarco Soresi. As a half-Italian,
half-Jewish comedian, Gianmarco has become famous for the viral
social media clips of his standup comedy, as well as his
outspoken criticism of Israel. He and Mehdi unpack how the
silencing of pro-Palestine voices can contribute to rising
antisemitism.

The two also discuss the hypocrisy of Donald Trump and the
Republican party, who claim to be defenders of free speech while
simultaneously detaining student activists for their political
activity or opinions. Finally, Mehdi and Gianmarco go on an
extended rant about the "anti-woke" comedy movement and how its
ringleaders like Joe Rogan and Bill Maher have completely sold
out to powerful political figures like Donald Trump. "We're
watching huge comedians toe the line for the President,"
Gianmarco says. "Well, then you're not a f*****g comedian anymore
— You're a propagandist."
