MAGA Meltdown Over Elmo + Sabrina Carpenter Backlash

From MAGA losing it over Elmo speaking Arabic to the backlash around Sabrina Carpenter, it’s been a busy Arab American Heritage Month. We start with the reaction to Ramy Youssef and Elmo’s “habibi” moment, then get into the conversation around zaghrouta, what it actually means, and why Sabrina Carpenter’s comments sparked backlash. We also get into comedian Paul Elia after Google limited ads for his standup special over a Trump joke. And finally, we cover journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, who has been detained in Kuwait for weeks after sharing publicly available videos related to the war on Iran, and why that matters for press freedom.
