‘Donald Trump wouldn’t have allowed you into this country, and yet you sit and support him,’ Mehdi tells the pro-Trump podcaster Bet-David, who was born in Iran.
Mehdi is a verbal surgeon. I love listening to him speak, which is the main reason I subbed to Zeteo. He explains this passionately, yet in a way that even a 'random Joe' like me can understand. I really think he 'gets it', and always appreciate his insights!
I was genuinely shocked by PBD. His believe that it’s okay to go and take over other countries was truly horrifying. Well done, Mehdi for trying to make him understand about the real world consequences of racism and bigotry, but I think it was a lost cause. Now I understand how Trump got elected.
I’m sorry, you hadn t had time to find out about Henry Nowak. There’s a far right attempt to say that he died because the police favour brown people.. that lovely fascist trope anti-white racism. Clearly Musk s algorithm had made it to PBD but not to you and that is extremely frightening.
It’s insanely frustrating how PBD will ask Mehdi some attempt of a gotcha question and then proceed to ask an entirely different question as soon as Mehdi begins to answer so coherently even his own audience would understand
Let's get this straight, capitalists are those people who do not work, their capital does. We are not a capitalist nation, we are a democratic republic with a mixed free market that has a number of players such as wage laborers, capitalists, professionals, entrepreneurs, tradesmen, craftsmen, etc.
And the US Constitution does not require nor endorse nor even mention “capitalism”. The economic order is not in the US Constitution. While the slaveholders were capitalists, the kind of corporate owned and legal corporate model that’s has the entire country by the throat began just after the Civil War, cracked up in 1929 and then re-emerged beginning in 1980 more greedy and more rapacious than ever.
This is the MOST disingenuous interviewer ever. He acts like he's being objective but he's cherry picking, throwing multiple balls from right field, and then when Mehdi asks him a question, "I don't know. What is that? I don't know!" Bullshit.
AND it's the United States of America. It's NOT America. Which Amerigo Vespucci stumled upon. America is Turtle Island, the land of my ancestors. Yall are colonizers. A little respect. PS Pilgrims were the original undocumented immigrants.
Patrick is really fucked. His argument that we have a "law of the land" that makes imperialism acceptable is just plain stupid and fucked up. He is a great example of the fucked-upness of the right. They are the rot in the US, they always have been, we'd be better off without them.
Trump gets credit for being a criminal. He has no authority to use our military because congress has not declared war as required by Article II, Section 2. He and the GOP should hang.
I will agree with one thing he said. Mehdi you need to go everywhere. Go on every show everywhere. You are not legitimizing any organization. You are speaking truth to those who don’t hear it.
Many commentators on the US economy as well as economists have for the last 8 to 18mo and longer have been sounding the alarm over the growing national debt. Now with the Iranian war the debt is over $39T and growing. Cheeto continues to recklessly spend thinking that a war time economy may bail him out. Of course Cheeto, who drove businesses into the ground going bankrupt 5 times, is now in charge of the upcoming Great Depression 2.0 and will botch its management much like he did COVID. His inability to manage anything was apparent during COVID since he has no mental discipline and relies on “gut instinct” to guide his management.
Potential foreign investors who help pay for our debt are becoming risk adverse. HSBC, the second largest European bank, is now sounding the alarm(https://bit.ly/42Tl15s) implying that foreign investment which now amounts to $40-50T in T bills will need to be compensated for the risk they take on. This means that the yield on treasuries will have to go higher, meaning that the US will fast approach a point when the country will not be able to afford its debt, creating a defined debt trap which occurs when the rate of increase of outstanding debt accelerates faster than the tax revenue to cover the interest cost.
5% is the magic number for 10y T bills. It is the level where the debt is unsustainable without default.
The Fed has two tools in its toolbox, interest rates and money printing. In this precarious financial situation those tools do little to help in the long run particularly with a reckless overspending Cheeto government.
I do not watch PBD anymore and I do not watch long videos but for Mehdi I made an exception. I always enjoyed Mehdi's debates. This one was brutal. At every step of the debate, PBD was fact checked by Mehdi and then PBD suddenly changes the topic. Please understand if you want to debate Mehdi, please prepare yourself thoroughly otherwise you will be destroyed. Thanks to Mehdi!!
Discussion was interesting until the middle when PBD's arguments became completely unhinged. Trying to compare competition between businesses with colonialism, murder and unilaterally usurping foreign countries is probably the most deranged argument I have ever heard.

I recommend everyone should watch MH "Head to Head "on Al Jazeera (started in 2013)
All brilliant interviews
It was watching Mehdi here that I learned that HAMAS is an acronym. The more you know 🌠 Thanks, Mehdi 🔥
Mehdi continues to annihilate every single person crazy enough to debate him. Keep speaking truth, Mehdi!
Superb debate! Mehdi exposed the holes and inconsistencies in Patrick's arguments so eloquently.

I’m going to wait for Hasan Piker’s coverage of this. His Bet-David impression is priceless.

Vespucci was never in North America.
Cool. And we call it America anyway. I call it Turtle Island.

Mehdi fights with basim over going to tucker or owens and goes him self to the PBD podcast.
#Mehdi_Unprincipled
At least you should be happy that he is listening to basim and going to different channels.
