It’s been a bad few weeks for billionaires—and @mehdirhasan had to ask ‘Gotham’ actor @ben_mckenzie: “Is it time for us to reevaluate Bruce Wayne’s benevolent billionaire status?”
“It is perhaps time to reevaluate our fetishization of wealth in this country,” Ben says. WATCH:

.@ben_mckenzie says talking to ex-billionaire and FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was “quite an experience”:
“When I spoke with him and asked him some fairly simple questions…he was unable to answer most of them,” he tells @mehdirhasan. “The emperor was, indeed, naked.”

Given the power of China's surveillance infrastructure, @LetaHong says she’s surprised at the size and scale of protests over its Covid policy.
She tells @mehdirhasan how “the Chinese surveillance state has grown much more powerful”—and how it's tracking protesters' locations.

China is facing widespread demonstrations over its harsh ‘zero Covid’ policy — and while “protests are not uncommon” there, “they’re usually on a much smaller scale,” @onlyyoontv says.
She tells @mehdirhasan: “This is a very daring move in China … it is quite remarkable.”

China’s draconian Covid lockdowns are triggering what may be the most widespread demonstrations since the brutal Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989 — and these protests should be on all of our minds.

Gaining the support of Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has been a major obstacle for Democrats in Congress, and she’s worked to stall her party’s agenda at every turn.
But, @mehdirhasan says, her power as a key swing vote may be coming to an end, all thanks to GA's Senate runoff.

A warm Thanksgiving tweet from a Texas senator looks like a case of copy and paste gone wrong…but it also suggests that his staff may not like him very much?
Let @mehdirhasan explain:

A series of public art installations directly facing the UN aim to raise awareness for Iran's women-led protests.
Iran sits on the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and “we believe they should be removed from that body,” @GissouNia says. "The work is not yet done."

Women-led demonstrations are happening around the globe in the fight for Iranian women’s rights, after the death of 22 y/o Mahsa Amini. Hundreds of protesters have been killed or arrested in the process.
@mehdirhasan asks: Is the outrage enough to overturn the regime?

What do Democrats have to say about Donald Trump’s pre-Thanksgiving dinner with Nick Fuentes?
@RubenGallego has a message for the former president himself: “Donald Trump, you are a white supremacist, and you should be ashamed of yourself.”

The GOP's embrace of antisemitism is "a subset of their general opposition to the idea of human equality," @PeterBeinart says.
He tells @mehdirhasan: "The Republican Party should be reckoning with that, but they’re not...because, once again, they’re cowards."

Most Republicans have stayed silent on Trump’s dinner with Holocaust-denying white supremacist Nick Fuentes—and the few to speak out didn’t name the ex-president.
"I’m asked every day if this Republican Party can be saved," @WalshFreedom says. "And every day, my answer is no."

“It’s horrific. It shouldn’t be normal. But it’s what Trump, the GOP and the American right want to make normal — and we can’t afford to let them.”
Watch @mehdirhasan's monologue on Trump's dinner with not just one ridiculously antisemitic bigot, but two: Nick Fuentes and Ye.

Why did Donald Trump enjoy an intimate dinner with prominent white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes? @JacksonLeeTX18 says she isn't sure. What's more, she also can't understand why Republicans are refusing to condemn the tête-à-tête. WATCH:
