When Jewish Gangsters stopped the Rise of American Nazis with Lizzy Weisman

Comedian, and fellow Jew, Lizzy Weisman joins this episode as we resurrect the largely untold story of how a U.S. Judge Nathan Perlman secretly recruited a small army of Jewish mobsters to stomp out the rise of Nazi-loyal Americans who were pushing the US to side with Hitler before the official start of WWII. The year is 1938 America and we’re learning about the notorious and iconic figures of the Jewish Mafia, like Arnold Rothstein, largely considered to be the godfather of organized crime in America, Meyer Lansky, often referred to as the mob’s accountant, who built a squad of fellow Jewish mobsters dedicated to kicking the crap out of Nazi loving Americans, and, American Nazi Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German-American Bund, who once organized a massive event at Madison Square Garden with 20,000 attendees. This episode is wild and highly informative. You won’t want to miss out!
