Very excited to have Jamie Weinstein on The Lonely Podcast. Jamie is a journalist and a political commentator. His work has been featured on The Daily Caller, the Rolling Stones, and the Daily Beast, and he has appeared on MSNBC, and Fox News, and was a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher, among others. Jamie is also the host of The Dispatch Podcast Monday show, as well as The Jamie Weinstein Show. One of the reasons I wanted to speak to Jamie is because of his ability to effectively converse with challenging and “controversial” figures like Mehdi Hasan and Bill Ayers. In today’s world, many in the “Podcast Sphere” invite very controversial figures to just “have a conversation.” However, more often than not, these conversations become a tool for bad actors to engage in manipulative propaganda without being effectively challenged by the interviewer. Jamie is an excellent example of how one should engage in challenging conversation with notoriously manipulative guests. In our conversation, we discuss the Oct. 7th massacre and the aftermath, the future of the Jewish community in the diaspora, college campus demonstrations, America’s involvement in the Middle East, the rise in Anti-semitism in Europe, public opinion on Israel, Iran’s military power, how to effectively converse with “controversial figures,” and much more. It was a true pleasure to have a fruitful discussion on these many different topics with Jamie.
