Yeah it sounds like the most jewish name ever. Not so sure about his claims of coming from a Christian Assyrian family. His wikipedia early life only links to a tweet on his own twitter profile as a citation for this claim about his ancestry.

It's an interesting name given the familial history that that podcaster claims, yes? How would a Zionist Jew possibly read that last name + family history? Where would the podcaster be slotted, in a map of supporters and antagonists?

The good news is it is fraud all the way down

His insurance business ran on fake numbers and so does his influencer business

Almost nobody really is watching this dude’s show, it is all pumped up and inflated to give the illusion of his being a Major Voice on the Right

The female equivalent is Goop

Gwyneth Paltrow’s supposedly influential lifestyle platform

Almost no actual women actually pay any attention to it

She is weird and off putting

The numbers are all fake

Probably it is a money laundering front

Very happy to see an exposé from you on this fraud. He's the first diasporoid that needs to be dropped on Tehran.

I remember when PBD was questioned by a guest on his show about United States interference in Iran, including the CIA orchestrated 1953 overthrow of Mossadegh. PBD's answer was - "He deserved to be overthrown because he was a socialist, an Iranian Bernie Sanders".

GREAT exposé, and I couldn't agree more with your editorial on the self-help/hustle-grindset slop industry as being set up to make every struggle about personal failings and divert people away from collective action.

The first impression I get whenever I hear PBD speak is that the guy is really mediocre across the board. About as dumb and inane as Bari Weiss

The fight will not be easy but fortunately Israel discredits itself.
