During a recent episode of Howie Mandel’s podcast, fellow Jewish comedian Ari Shaffir dropped some truth bombs about the propaganda and brainwashing that’s gone on to persuade Jews in the United States that they’re not safe. Mandel, despite admitting that he never leaves the house, is flabbergasted to hear a fellow Jew say he feels perfectly safe in the U.S.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Howie Mandel’s cluelessness and whether antisemitism is a non-issue in America.
Plus segments on how Bill and Hillary Clinton committed very similar crimes to Donald Trump but were NOT prosecuted and the dearth of anti-authoritarian, iconoclastic comedians today.
Also featuring Dave Smith, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Joe Biden!
