Bill Maher is no fan of Palestinians, of that there’s little doubt. But his frenzied Zionist leanings have escalated recently to the point where he’s now accusing all Palestinians of being pedophiles. And despite the ongoing genocide in Gaza, or maybe because of it, Maher argues that Israel is a lot “like us” in the United States.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how it’s actually Israel’s stated policy to give haven to and protect Jewish pedophiles from prosecution.
Plus segments including Jackson Hinkle’s take on the right wing’s sweeping victories in European elections, Neil Oliver on Chris Cuomo’s abject failure to take any responsibility for spreading COVID misinformation and a live show conversation with Kurt, Stef Zamorano, Jeff Dye and Sam Tripoli about retired General Mark Milley’s comments that war crimes are OK as long as they’re done quickly.
