Is Trump 'Daddy'? – with Bassem Youssef

Mehdi is once again joined by 'We're Not Kidding' powerhouse
Bassem Youssef for a raw and honest conversation about the state
of the world. To steal a phrase from MAGA Republicans speaking
about Donald Trump — "Daddy is home." Mehdi and Bassem unpack the
first few weeks of Trump's second term, including the escalating
violence in the West Bank occurring during the "fake" Gaza
ceasefire.

The two also debate whether the US empire is beginning to
collapse, if organized resistance movements are at all effective,
and if Trump and the Republicans are more honest than Joe Biden
and the Democrats. "You prefer to deal with the wolf rather than
the wolf in sheep's clothing," Mehdi asks Bassem, who also shares
his opinion on Elon Musk's controversial hand gesture and his
uniquely noxious flavor of South African racism.
