Hasan WANTED And The History of the ADL w/ James Adomian & Emmaia Gelman (Ep 333)

The DNC autopsy is out and GUESS WHAT — it's a disaster! No sources, no mention of Gaza, and running counter to what the directors of both the Harris and Biden campaigns have actually said. Meanwhile AIPAC is spending $14 million to prevent Cori Bush from retaking her seat in Missouri, with a deeply disappointing take from Rep. Jasmine Crockett. And CBS just killed Stephen Colbert’s Late Show after 33 years … will billionaire Byron Allen be an apolitical replacement? Plus Hasan Piker is subpoenaed by the FBI over a trip to Cuba, right after he discusses Elon’s election meddling with baby Mama Ashley St. Clair. Was his Starlink broadband provider and SpaceX involved? Comedian James Adomian joins to make sense of all of it — or at least make it funnier. Then, the ADL has long presented itself as a civil rights organization — but what if that's always been the cover story? We talk to author and historian Emmaia Gelman about her new book tracing the ADL from its origins suppressing Jewish labor movements through McCarthyism, COINTELPRO-era surveillance, and its current alliance with the far right.
