This episode features a clip from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, guest-hosted by Ronny Chieng where he discusses the dilemma of Americans taking the new weight loss drugs on Thanksgiving with correspondent Michael Kosta.
This episode features a clip of Julia Steinberg's testimony in front of Congress on November 9, where she talks about the rise of antisemitism on college campuses and its modern roots in the conflict theory of the oppressor vs. oppressed.
This episode features a clip of Israeli historian, political scientist, and tour guide Oren, from his YouTube channel travelingisreal.com. He has a lot of videos about Israel offering a pro-Israeli, but also highly informed and even-handed perspective. I think he’s fantastic.
This episode features a clip from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher where Bill talks about conflict theory and how we got to the point where liberal people think the morally right position is to side with antisemitic hardline islamists. It's not halloween related, but I for one sure do find it scary!
This episode features a clip from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, where panelist Sarah Isgur of ABC News and other things (I'd never heard of her, but apparently, she's a conservative of some sort?) makes some good points about the unexpected effects of the increase of small donors in the political sphere.
This episode features a clip from Strike Force Five, the podcast featuring Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon, which they created to raise money for their staffs during the ongoing strike. I really enjoy their dynamic and it’s so fun that they all clearly like each other as compared to the olden days when there was so much animus between the late-night hosts. I pulled a clip of Steven Colbert telling the story of how he met his wife.
This episode features a clip of a YouTuber andewr reflecting on HBO’s How To with John Wilson, one of the best things I’ve ever seen. If like me, you missed hearing about it, it just wrapped on the 3rd and final season. There’s six 25 minute long episodes per season, and they are nothing like anything you’ve ever seen on TV before. Part personal video essay, part comedy, part poignant vignettes of everyday people. It’s the most NYC thing ever and it’s truly something special. Don’t miss it!
