Debating Reality with Mehdi Hasan

As mainstream media finds itself outplayed by Trump, Jon is joined by Mehdi Hasan, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Zeteo. Together, they discuss his experience debating far-right conservatives, explore how Democrats could match Republican ruthlessness and tactics, and examine how America’s failure to stop the crisis in Gaza has undermined both U.S. credibility and Democratic moral authority. Plus, Jon talks Jay Leno and vindictive pricks. Unrelated.
