Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, former members of Congress and the far-left, progressive “Squad” in the U.S. House of Representatives, are launching a new YouTube show on Zeteo, the new media entity founded by Mehdi Hasan, a former host on MSNBC.

The former U.S. lawmakers and the platform founder have long, documented histories of anti-Israel statements. A nearly two-minute trailer for the new program suggested that antisemitism would be a staple of the show.

In the monthly show, Bowman and Bush “will spill the tea on what really goes on inside of Congress and the damage done by big money and special interests,” Hasan stated.

“Cori Bush called for a ceasefire very early on,” per a CNN clip in the trailer. “AIPAC have [sic] spent over $8 million in an effort to defeat Bush,” the trailer continues.

“Outside groups, including AIPAC, spent millions and millions of dollars to unseat me, to try to silence me,” Bush says in the trailer. “But baby, I’m still here, and I’m not alone.” (Bush lost the 2024 primary to Wesley Bell, endorsed by AIPAC.)

Bowman, who lost the primary handily to George Latimer, whom AIPAC supported, says in the trailer that “special interests came after me, too.”

The trailer notes that he, too, was one of the first to call for a ceasefire and says “pro-Israel groups” paid nearly $20 million to take him down.

“These attacks come amid a broader rise in violent extremism across Canada and other Western democracies—a toxic brew of anti-Zionist rhetoric, local criminal elements, Iranian-backed proxies and ISIS-inspired terrorism,” CIJA stated.
