| This Centrist Democrat Wants to Abolish ICE and Condition Aid to Israel | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:27:59 | |
Democrats should be doing victory laps right now, after President Donald Trump's rambling State of the Union address is already polling as the least popular SOTU speech of the century. Yet, the party still appears to be in worse shape than ever before, suffering from their own record-low approval ratings. Perhaps that's why people like Rep. Seth Moulton, a 47-year old Iraq War veteran, are calling for a change in leadership, as he challenges 79-year old Senator Ed Markey for his Massachusetts Senate seat. In this wide-ranging and challenging interview with the centrist Democratic congressman, Mehdi asks Moulton whether he can beat a progressive incumbent senator with such high approval ratings, and also challenges him on his own voting record in the House.

| This Is Trump's Most Dangerous Threat to US Elections Yet | 25 Feb 2026 | 00:05:21 | |
The US Senate may vote soon on one of Donald Trump's most dangerous plots against our free and fair elections yet – the SAVE America Act. Although the Trump White House and its Republican allies in Congress are trying to brand it as a simple set of voter ID laws, Mehdi explains in this monologue why the bill is far more sinister than its name leads on, and why it could threaten everyone from married women to rural voters.

| Mehdi vs Pro-Israel Ex-Congressman in Heated Interview on Gaza | 03 Mar 2025 | 00:32:53 | |
In Part Two of Mehdi's interview with Joe Walsh, the former Republican congressman turned Never-Trumper, Mehdi challenges Walsh on his support for Israel's war on Gaza. Mehdi presses Walsh on his use of the term "genocide" to describe Russia's attack on Ukraine but his refusal to apply it to Israel's attack on Gaza; on his smearing of the International Criminal Court for having "anti-israel bias"; and on his refusal to condemn Israel's mass displacement of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, not just Gaza.

| 'Trump and MAGA Want Violence': Civil War Warning From Ex-GOP Lawmaker | 28 Feb 2025 | 00:14:04 | |
Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh was once a proud ally of the right-wing Tea Party – the movement that many believe paved the way for Donald Trump. But today, Walsh is no fan of Trump. In fact, he's become one of the most vocal 'Never Trump' Republicans and is now officially an independent. In this first of a two-part interview, Mehdi and the former Congressman discuss the fallout from Trump term two so far, the Democrats' failure to fully push back against him, and whether the US is heading towards civil war.

| Eric Adams 'Cannot Lead This City': Mayor's Potential Replacement Speaks Out | 27 Feb 2025 | 00:13:23 | |
New York City Mayor Eric Adams' days seem to be numbered as he faces mounting pressure – from New Yorkers and beyond – to resign. The embattled mayor had faced charges related to bribery, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy offenses - until that is, the Trump DOJ stopped the charges against Adams just two months before his trial, in return for the mayor's support for the administration's immigration policies. Adams has denied the charges and stated that he will serve his full term, despite the national outrage, but one man is ready to step up if needed: New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams – the first in line to succeed Adams and become acting mayor.

Award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad has just released his first non-fiction book titled One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. The book's title, inspired by a viral tweet Akkad posted in October of 2023, gives you a good hint that the main theme is the genocide in Gaza. Akkad joins 'Mehdi Unfiltered' to discuss the many themes in his book, what inspired it, and why so many are silent when they shouldn't be.

| 'Palestine Is a Case of Criminally Postponed Decolonization': Indian Author Pankaj Mishra on Gaza, Censorship, and India's Parallels to Israel | 14 Feb 2025 | 00:24:41 | |
Indian Author Pankaj Mishra has spent much of the past year advocating against Israel's war on Gaza, and has now even gone as far as to write a whole book on the subject – The World After Gaza: A History. The book is of course inspired by Mishra's London Review essay and lecture, 'The Shoah After Gaza' – which drew up controversy last year, after the Barbican backed out of hosting Mishra's lecture, all before he even gave it. Hear Mishra discuss the implications of Israel's impunity, US President Donald Trump's re-election, and his spats with far-right writers Jordan Peterson and Niall Ferguson, as well as parallels between the state of Israel and his home country of India, specifically in relation to what India is doing in Kashmir.

| 'Taking Food From People Who Are Starving': Ben & Jerry's Founder Speaks to Mehdi on USAID Cuts | 13 Feb 2025 | 00:18:54 | |
Donald Trump hasn't even been in office for a month, and already, his administration is dismantling key agencies of the federal government, including USAID. Much of this work is being done by shadow president Elon Musk, whose so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been wreaking havoc on key systems at the Treasury, the Department of Education, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If DOGE really plans on cutting $2 trillion from the federal budget, there's one place progressives say he can start: the Pentagon's whopping $850 billion budget. Ben Cohen, progressive activist and co-founder of the ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's and Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist who served in Trump's first-term State Department join Mehdi to discuss.

| 'The Level of Stupidity is Embarrassing': Rep. Ilhan Omar on Musk and the GOP's Attacks on Her | 12 Feb 2025 | 00:21:37 | |
Last week, Democratic Congresswoman and 'Squad' member Ilhan Omar became Elon Musk's latest target on Twitter, after he falsely accused her of breaking the law for sharing legal advice to undocumented immigrants. In this interview on 'Mehdi Unfiltered,' Rep. Omar sits down with Mehdi to discuss Musk's attack on her, the ongoing effort to dismantle federal agencies funded by Congress, the need for the Democratic Party to get more aggressive and use the leverage it has and Trump's plan for the US to illegally take control of Gaza among other topics.

| 'Apartheid on Steroids': South African Ambassador on Gaza, Musk, and Trump Cutting Off Aid | 11 Feb 2025 | 00:23:39 | |
Last week, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order freezing US aid to South Africa, saying that their new land ownership law – meant to address the legacy of apartheid – "blatantly discriminates against ethnic minority Afrikaners." This came just days after Elon Musk railed against the law on Twitter, calling it "openly racist." In this interview, South Africa's Ambassador to the US Ebrahim Rasool sits down with Mehdi to discuss the new law, Trump and Musk's decision to "interfere" with South Africa's internal politics, and the country's ICJ case against Israel, which the Trump administration cited as one of the reasons for freezing aid to South Africa.

| Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Israel: Five Things You Need To Know | 27 Sep 2024 | 00:50:33 | |
On this week's 'Mehdi Unfiltered,' Mehdi unpacks Israel's "violent and reckless" assault on Lebanon and the false propaganda behind it. American University of Beirut professor Karim Makdisi joins the show to discuss Israel's latest attacks on Lebanon – including Israel's explosive pager attacks – and how Israel's offensive is only increasing Lebanese support for Hezbollah. Watch the monologue and panel interview – which also features the Center for International Policy's Matt Duss, former Bernie Sanders foreign policy advisor – to hear more about the humanitarian toll in Lebanon, how likely it is that Iran will get involved, and how another war could impact the US presidential election. Also on the show, Mehdi is joined by renowned author and historian William Dalrymple to discuss his latest book, 'The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World'. The book makes the case that, for over a millennia, India was an international powerhouse that shaped civilizations around it – it was 'the heart of ancient Eurasia' – and that its advances and influence have been erased. The two also discuss Israel's war in Gaza and why William has been so outspoken while other authors and historians have remained silent.

| EXCLUSIVE: Mehdi Interviews the Mother of the Palestinian-American Child Stabbed to Death After Oct. 7th | 18 Sep 2024 | 00:14:07 | |
On October 14, 2023, a week after the Hamas attacks on Israel, and just days after Joe Biden falsely claimed he had seen photos of beheaded Israeli babies, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy called Wadee Alfayoumi was brutally murdered in his home after being stabbed 26 times. His mother, Hanaan Shahin, was also stabbed and left critically injured. Shahin's landlord, 71-year-old Joseph Czuba, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and, crucially, two counts of hate crimes. Czuba pleaded not guilty and faces trial later this month. On Tuesday, in the wake of a contentious hate crimes hearing in the Senate in which Palestinian voices were not platformed and in which Wadee's name was barely mentioned, Mehdi sat down with Shahin and civil rights attorney Maaria Mozaffar, from the Muslim Civic Coalition, for an exclusive interview. They talked about Shahin's memories of Wadee, the 'Wadee Act' in the House and Senate, and her conversations with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
