It's so satisfying seeing people get uncomfortable when Mehdi starts spitting facts. I feel a flutter of excitement as they're all left dumbfounded!

I don’t understand why anyone cares about Piers fucking Morgan

Agreed. Also I don't see the value in "debating" him.

Gad Sad is a dangerous hate spreading bigot goon, Thank you Mehdi and team for your consistent efforts to protect and spread truth. I immensely appriciate you!!

Sad Git more like. I lost count of the number of times this arsehead said “woke” despite only watching him for about three minutes. Always knew Britain was a cesspool, but it’s still hard to believe that the country where I spent every tortured year of my childhood has gotten this bad. Glad I had a second passport to fall back on.

I wish someone had asked him to define the word, "woke". Nine out of ten times when I do, the person who is using it demonstrates a lack of understanding and can only repeat the FOX network version.

Gad Saad, like many Americans, mistake Musk's ability to spot a good Idea, hire the best technicians to execute it and promote it as his own invention. Very Trump-like, but definitely not my notion of genius. His political spoutings merely serve to drive a wedge between people so you don't notice his grasping and greed.

Mehdi, I don't know how you don't completely lose yourself with Piers. Thank you for having the patience to share the facts.

Piers Morgan is a racist islamophobe. Thanks Mehdi!

16 minutes into this and I am at an anxiety overload.

The person in the white shirt - sad that he gets to perpetuate false discourse on musk, innovation, race, wokism, and such with zero pushback.

As a survivor of child sexual abuse by a white man, I agree with Mehdi. This is a problem that is not rooted in ethnicity or religion. These perpetrators have a sickness & they are from all walks of life. Only focussing on the Brown people doing it is racist. By all means investigate it but investigate all grooming gangs whoever they are. Our children deserve to be protected ffs.

I’m so sorry that that happened to you and you’re absolutely right. Of course it makes it more dangerous for young people if they are encouraged to believe that they should just avoid brown people and will be perfectly safe with white wen.

No, as President of the US, he does not have the right to sue the press because he has access to the "bully pulpit" and all that that implies. The Press has the job of reporting, possibly clarifying and, if necessary, asking awkward questions; not seconding his every utterance.

Not familiar with "Pakistani Rape Gangs", but any who rape men, women or children of any sex should be severely dealt with. Perhaps the South African gad-fly, Elon Musk, should ask the Vatican how it dealt with its white priests raping white altar boys, novices and little girls for years or doesn't that count. Cultural or just plain dirty bastards? It would do well to remember that Musk was born and bred into a hyper-racist society and his character, such as it is, is set in cement.

Brilliant as always, Mehdi. The inevitable pissing contest you always get into with Piers over who’s asking the questions amuses me to no end. 😂

Thanks for sharing, Mehdi, and for your unwavering commitment to exposing the biases in media coverage on issues like this. I hope that one day, enough independent voices will come together to build alternative platforms that challenge the oligarchic grip on our media and politics.

God that was depressing. Well done for trying Mehdi. Clearly these people aren’t interested in facts.

I watched this. I don't think I heard Piers say 'moral quandary' which has become almost a mantra for him.

Never heard of Gad before and will not bother watching him again. He is a waste of space.

Thanks Mehdi for being the sane voice when everything is being politicized against Muslims in this day and age..
