About this episode
President Donald Trump's recent remarks about Miriam Adelson, widow of Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson, including jokes that she is more loyal to Israel than the United States, qualify as antisemitism, based on the guidelines promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which classifies accusations of dual loyalty as antisemitic. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger analyze Trump's history with the Adelsons, his acknowledgment of their influence over policy decisions such as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and his rhetoric about donor power in U.S. politics. The discussion then expands into a broader critique of the IHRA's antisemitism definitions, perceived double standards in political discourse, and the influence of Zionism and media narratives on public perception. Plus segments on the sham that is the upcoming "No Kings" rally and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene going scorched earth on her own party. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Mel K. and Stef Zamorano. Plus a phone call from Mike Johnson!
