The Trump administration has lied to the American people yet again. Since striking Iran in late February, Donald Trump and top administration officials haven’t been able to get their stories straight about their rationale for war. “They’ve had these constantly shifting rationales,” says Senator Chris Van Hollen, who sits on the Foreign Relations Committee. “And the reason they have to keep shifting them is because when they say that one thing was their goal – like getting rid of Iran’s nuclear capacity, they claimed – that turns out to be just not true.” What is true, though, is that Trump played right into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hands when he decided to strike Iran. “Netanyahu just a few weeks ago said he’d been waiting 40 years for an American president to join him in attacking Iran. And in Donald Trump, he finally found somebody stupid enough and reckless enough to actually do it,” Van Hollen explains. While Van Hollen, who is widely considered a possible 2028 presidential candidate, slams Trump for acquiescing to Netanyahu and Israel, he doesn’t spare Joe Biden either: “The Biden administration did nothing to hold the Netanyahu government to account, and now the Trump administration is not only doing nothing to hold them to account, but essentially just giving them a blank check to do whatever they want in Lebanon or in Iran.” This interview published last week on zeteo.com.

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 Benjamin 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’...

This episode is sponsored by Ellydee. To sign up, go to ellydee.ai/mehdi NOTE: This episode was recorded on April 3, 2026. It’s been six months (!) since Bassem Youssef joined Mehdi for an episode of ‘We’re Not Kidding’, and since then Israel has started two new wars, right-wing podcasters have turned on Donald Trump over his war with Iran, and centrist Democrats have mounted a cancellation campaign against leftist streamer Hasan Piker. But before they get to any of that, they dig into Epstein and Mehdi’s viral interview with the so-called “Professor Jiang,” the two get into a friendly argument over which terms and ideas qualify as religious tropes and how the weaponization of antisemitism by Zionists has diluted the meaning of the word. The two also debate whether right-wingers like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson can be trusted allies for calling out Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Donald Trump’s war with Iran, or if they’re just opportunists who see the writing on the wall for the MAGA movement. “Why don't you like Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson?” Bassem asks Mehdi, who explains his position on the two. The two also discuss: Zionists cracking down on free speech and civil liberties. Why “Pax Judaica” is an antisemitic trope and “Greater Israel” is not. US citizen Moshe Katz who recently died in Lebanon fighting for the Israeli military. Why Bill Maher is… just the worst.

“[Claims of mass rape are] being used and used, over and over again in order to justify the genocide against Palestinians… We are using really different standards with regards to violence against Palestinians on one hand and violence against Israelis.” Two years after the October 7 attacks, questions about mass rape and sexual violence remain unresolved. The UN says there are “reasonable grounds” to believe assaults happened but could not verify them. In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi Hasan sits down with UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, who says investigators lacked access to forensic evidence and Israel didn’t cooperate with the investigation. She’s also faced calls for removal over her comments. Alsalem highlights documented cases of sexual violence against Palestinian detainees — cases she says have received far less attention — and warns that narratives around October 7 are being used politically while other atrocities are ignored. She also exposes shocking sexual violence in Sudan, calling it “apocalyptic” and a tool of genocide — yet largely ignored by Western media.

“The Trump administration and many mainstream organizations [are] weaponizing Jewish pain and the very real rise in antisemitism to accomplish their political goals that actually have nothing to do with antisemitism… We need to be very clear about what is legitimate criticism of the policies of the government of Israel and what is antisemitism.” In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi Hasan sits down with Congresswoman Sara Jacobs as they discuss the third anniversary of Sudan’s genocide, the destruction of Palestine and the US’ role in both wars. Jacobs has pushed for an end to the war in Sudan, noting her effort to reintroduce a bill to prohibit arms sales to the UAE, who is believed to be the main backer of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — one of the parties at war. As the youngest Jewish member of Congress, Rep. Jacobs is also calling out the Netanyahu government for its damage in Gaza to Palestinians and for Trump and other pro-Israel organizations for weaponizing antisemitism. They also discuss why Democrats didn’t stop the Sudan war under Biden’s presidency, if the US should continue to send weapons to Israel and if Democrats can earn back voter trust after Gaza.
