We unpack Saudi Arabia’s struggle against the Houthis, their expanding grip on Red Sea shipping, their Iranian backing and the sprawling black-market networks that keep terrorist money flowing beyond the reach of sanctions (01:58). We hammer Jared Kushner for publicly portraying the Doha strike as leverage used to pressure Israel, questioning both his characterization of the attack and the timing of his comments (08:40). We torch Tucker Carlson for backing Abdul El-Sayed and ask how many more opportunities JD Vance and the Republican movement need before finally jumping off the Tucker train (13:51). We examine the online right beginning to fracture as conspiracy influencers turn on one another and some former extremists reconsider narratives about Jews and Israel (18:46). We blast Mamdani and AOC for laughing during the reading of names at the 9/11 memorial and debate what that moment revealed about political power, memory and basic respect (24:49). We dismantle NAZA, its anonymous sources, AI-generated faces and voices and its claim that Israel used artificial intelligence to facilitate genocide, explaining what collateral-damage estimates actually mean under the laws of war and why the film’s own premise undercuts its argument (27:39). We condemn Venice for rewarding the film and trace the festival’s uncomfortable historical relationship with fascist propaganda (37:36). Finally, we celebrate Pink and Robert Kraft for using their leverage - with celebrity and with stadium owners, respectively - to help force Macklemore off Ed Sheeran’s tour and argue that fighting antisemitism requires going on offense rather than endlessly playing defense (55:05).
