Watch now (45 mins) | Episode 5 of ‘We’re Not Kidding’ on why speaking out against genocide has created a culture of fear in Hollywood. Also, Mehdi and Amanda discuss why they can’t enjoy Seinfeld anymore.
I so so needed this one. Not enough content on black support for Palestine. Thank you for having Amanda on. Amongst my peers there is this silence that's incredibly befuddling.
There's an occupation and genocide happening and South Africa was so right in pointing out what was a defining moment in this conflict. I knew morally that South Africa was making the right call. Anything outside of this was clearly not on the right side of history.
I was crossing my fingers that you’d have Amanda on! I could listen to the two of you all day. Thank you both for your integrity, courage, compassion, brilliance… and much appreciated humor during such a painful time.
I can't wait to see the two of you together again! You're SO AMAZING!
I couldn't agree more with Amanda, that reelection is not Joe Biden's primary motivation. He DOES NOT CARE that he's throwing the election to Trump, by being a genocidal monster who will be forever remembered for his psychopathy.
Joe Biden is the person who is LEAST threatened by a second Trump presidency. He is not only protected by the Secret Service; he is protected by his money, and his place in the white-supremacist pecking order. He's the last person who needs to worry, and he's so aware of that fact, that he's HAPPY to use Trump as a GUN to the electorate's head. He practically SHRUGS while he delivers his message of, "Vote for me, or eat neo-confederate fascism."
Merrick Garland is not the only one who was perfectly happy to keep Trump politically viable. In my opinion, Biden was perfectly happy to risk the country sinking into neo-confederate fascism — by delaying prosecution of Trump — for the self-serving motivation of preserving a rematch he thought he could win. And now, he's perfectly happy to risk the country sinking into neo-confederate fascism — by committing genocide — for a self-serving motivation that we don't yet know.
I also agree that whatever material Epstein collected, is the most likely blackmail-material... but I really don't know why anyone thinks there's anything that looks WORSE than being a genocidal psychopath.
I wonder sometimes if we can get back at Biden by smearing in his face how much his son Beau would be horrified by his behavior right now. Or at least I hope he would be.
Mehdi what a super show!! If one calls it that. Yes you are both correct there are so many huge topics you need to discuss. Big Pharma is definitely one!! Jeffrey Epstein would be good. But I have a request!! Can you do a podcast on Imran Khan and what he is going thro in the prison in Pakistan. There is a lot of coverage on the TV media from different reporters. But I need you to do a show on him and the military establishment in Pakistan that are keeping him incarcerated in prison and letting illiterate baffoons run Pakistan or try to unsuccessfully anyway!!
It would be good for a show or 2 on all the other civil/genocidal/liberation wars taking place in the world right now: Myanmar, Sudan, Haiti, New Caledonia, etc.
The show could be called “Your Not Crazy”! It’s therapeutic to hear what rattling around in your own skull openly examined and discussed. Loved the show. Thank you to Medhi and Amanda.
Amanda is right about Hasan Minhaj- he posted a few things but given his platform and how this kind of stuff is exactly what he built his career on- he has not done enough at all! It's shameful
Well, that woke me up! Phew! (It’s early morning where I am…) Like Amanda, I find myself reluctant to open Twitter or Al Jazeera for dread of more pictures of dead or hideously mutilated children. It kills me, but I now see that I must not flinch. It is the least I can do.
I used to love love Trevor Noah but it’s despicable that he’s silent especially when his own nation has been the pioneers of fighting for Palestine. I’m sure he’s another person who’s been bought.
Love the phrase “I’m a liberal as long as it doesn’t inconvenience me” such shady people on planet. It’s mind boggling how people can be bought so easily, embarrassing! How do these people sleep at night? Probably on lots of meds to not hear their conscious screaming at them.
Regarding politicians, I was absolutely heartbroken when Obama did not stand up to support Palestine. He actually worked with me to get an innocent Muslim man out of Guantanamo (Shaker Aamer). But when it came to standing up against Israel, he completely bailed. I will never forgive him for that betrayal.
LOVE the conversation especially with Amanda Seals and only add that Joenocide Biden has earned all the crap he is getting from Adolf Netanyahu, since he has been so spineless and impotence.

So so happy to see Amanda Seales on here!! She is one firecracker and I love her solidarity!!

My first introduction to Amanda Seales & what a blast! Great show, my only complaint is it’s not long enough!

Great show! Love-love-love the openness the two of you are sharing!

Jerry Seinfeld has become his uncle Leo, who sees antisemitism in everything. Perfect example of life imitating parody.

Mehdi Hasan and Amanda Seales! The combination I never knew I needed! Fantastic show!
