Stephen A Smith asks Abdul El-Sayed about Hasan "Is there anything Hasan Piker could say that would make you publicly disavow him, considering what he has said about the Jewish community?" "I mean sure but the bigger question is this, how do we want to exchange ideas? And the...

Abdul El-Sayed is still refusing to distance himself from Hasan Piker: “The idea that you just categorically disavow an individual, that to me doesn’t make sense…there are 3 million people who listen to Hasan, I want to offer them a pathway into an electoral movement.”

Abdul El-Sayed: “There are 3M people who listen to Hasan. I want to offer them a pathway into an electoral movement where rather than sit outside the electoral system, they see a pathway around the things they agree with that he says that I agree with and a pathway that disavows the things that I disagree with. I’m glad to be on your show, but I’m not here to talk to you. I’m here to talk to the people you’re talking to” Stephen A. Smith: “I gotta confess to you: that’s a damn good answer!”

Abdul El-Sayed doesn't even know what the federal budget is, yet he wants to spend 4 TRILLION DOLLARS on medicare-for-all. JESSE WATTERS: "I don't want you guys to blow the country up. Do you know how much the federal budget is now?" ABDUL EL-SAYED: "No. Neither do I. Pete Hegseth --" JESSE WATTERS: "Answer the question. Do you know what the federal budget is for?" ABDUL EL-SAYED: "I just want to talk about this. You want to talk about budgets. I'm happy to do that. The guy who used to work on your channel, I think he was the sixth host on that five. He wanted to raise our military budget to $1.5 trillion, and you don't seem to be upset about that. So we can fight we don't know how to get out of to raise our gas prices five dollars a gallon? That doesn't make sense to me, Jesse." From there the ad hominens started coming in. JESSE WATTERS "I have a feeling, Abdul, you don't even know how much money the government spends every year. Do you know?" ABDUL EL-SAYED: "Look, the question, Jesse, to me --" JESSE WATTERS: "Alright, so you don't know. Let me tell you what it is. It's $7 trillion a year, and your plan to take over the health care system is four trillion." ABDUL-EL SAYED: "To exactly your point --" JESSE WATTERS: "I'm not very good at math, I don't think you're very good at math either. Go ahead." ABDUL EL-SAYED: "Clearly. Clearly you don't. And you don't seem to care, but I don't think most Americans want to spend that much money on military escapades so that the folks stranded on the USS Abraham Lincoln can even get a sausage for breakfast, because I just think that we could do a whole lot better with our money. And I think that's where you and I --" JESSE WATTERS: "Yeah, I disagree. I think if you spend $4 trillion, everything else is going to get really expensive."

Abdul El-Sayed gets asked on Meet the Press if he will campaign with Hasan Piker and if he disavows Piker's "America deserved 9/11" comments "I'm less concerned now with who I'm campaigning with, a lot more concerned about who I'm campaigning to..we have this notion sometimes on shows like this that we cannot or should not talk to certain groups of ppl..and I'll tell u that the 3 million ppl who listen to Hasan are ppl I want to make sure understand that there's a pathway into our politics" "Of course, it was a dumb statement..and of course, I think Hasan himself would say that..he disavowed it. So yes, America didn't deserve 9/11..but to sit here and play gotcha politics with a dumb thing somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves..I want to be held accountable for what I say and I what I do, rather than this idea that we're so stuck in cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea in 2020, but we seem to want to bring back" (Via Meet the Press on NBC)

WATCH: Bernie Sanders, speaking out of both sides against his mouth, says he's uncomfortable with Abdul El-Sayed's closeness to Hasan Piker given his statement that America deserved 9/11. Bernie dismisses as a "dumb statement" inevitable in a lengthy stream and calls for getting above cancel culture. Bernie says if James Carville doesn't like the party of Piker, El-Sayed and Sanders, he can "start his own party." AIPAC, AI, "we need a big tent" and "people like Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly." ABBY PHILLIP: Let me ask you about one of those campaign events, because just last night, um, the popular but very controversial streamer Hasan Piker was at one of El-Sayed's final events. The two did a stream together, a fairly lengthy stream. I know that you've spoken to Hasan Piker in the past, but are you comfortable with El-Sayed having a close association with him, given some of his past statements? To give you an example, one of the more controversial ones is that Piker has said America deserved 9/11. Are you comfortable with that association? BERNIE SANDERS: No, I am not. I think that's a dumb statement. On the other hand, he has a whole lot of followers and there's a lot of things that he's saying that are making sense to a lot of people. I think, you know, we have to get above cancel culture. You know, when you're doing radio, whatever they do- podcasts three hours a day, you say dumb things. I suspect if you go back over your career, there may be 1 or 2 things that you said that you may have regretted. But I think what we have got to do is look at the totality of where people are coming from. Uh, and go forward. PHILLIP: So when someone like James Carville says he doesn't want to be in the same political party as Hasan Piker, which one are you going to take? SANDERS: Well, that's not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn't want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party. But, uh, you know, look. What we are doing now is, you know, you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe have committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that? Do you want to be in a party which has not stood up to the AI industry, because they got a lot of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick, you know, you could pick whatever you want to pick. But I think we need a big tent and I think people like Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly.

Ben Meiselas on how VP Kamala Harris should approach the debate against Trump: You have to repeat back to some extent what he just said, and then try to translate it for the people so they understand that he's an idiot...I think she needs to repeat Donald Trump and she needs to say, "To all the American people watching out there: I know how important childcare is for you. That answer right there was incoherent and dangerously ignorant. These are life and death issues, and that individual right there has no clue what he is talking about. Nothing that he just said made any sense. Let me tell you what I'm going to do. Let me give you facts and let me give you details..."

This is how the Democrats plan to make their Hasan Piker problem go away. AOC refuses to say whether Abdul El-Sayed needs to do more to disavow the socialist streamer, dismissing the entire controversy as irrelevant to Michigan voters. MANU RAJU: "Do you think that Abdul El-Sayed needs to do more to disavow Hasan, given how big of an issue he's become?" AOC: "I do not think that a Twitch streamer is what the people of Michigan are concerning themselves with." "I think that what they want to hear all of us talk about is how we're going to make their lives more affordable." She never answers the question. They will pretend this isn't an issue up until the midterms.

Stephen A. Smith was in shock when an unhinged James Carville admitted that he has Trump Derangement Syndrome — and said he doesn’t want to get better: “I just want to get WORSE!” Smith pushed back hard when Carville claimed that President Trump doesn’t like America. SMITH: “Do you believe there is such a thing on the left as Trump Derangement Syndrome? Which is what the right accuses people of, do you believe that exists?” CARVILLE: “Can I say something to the people that accuse Democrats of having Trump Derangement Syndrome?” “I got it, and I got it BAD!” “And I don’t want to get better, I just want to get worse!” SMITH: “You want to get worse, James?” CARVILLE: “This is a condition that I’m not trying to get rid of.” SMITH: “Why not?!” CARVILLE: “Make my disease worse!” SMITH: “Why, why James, why do you want to make the disease worse?!” “Trump Derangement Syndrome, why do you want to make that worse?!” CARVILLE: “Because in my opinion, he doesn’t like the United States.” “He doesn’t like our laws, he doesn’t like our allies, he doesn’t like our treaties, he doesn’t like the fact that we’re an inclusive country, that is built in a large part on immigration…” Smith eventually had heard enough and fired back at Carville. SMITH: “Okay, how do you feel about people who say the same thing about the left because of some of the stuff that we were seeing with woke culture, cancel culture, identity politics?” “What about that?!”

🚨President Trump announced that there might be a high-level meeting with Zelenskyy as early as this weekend, but didn’t specify if he would participate, and once again reiterated that UA should hold elections right now (note: it’s against the constitution to hold elections during the martial law, also it’s simply not safe, and UA society is widely opposed to the idea). TRUMP: “They would like us to go to a meeting over the weekend, in Europe, and we’ll make a determination depending on what they come back with. We don’t wanna be wasting time. Sometimes you have to let people fight it out, and sometimes you don’t. But the problem with letting people fight it out is you’re losing thousands of people a week. It’s ridiculous. The whole thing is ridiculous.” Q: “And when you say that the European leaders want to have a meeting over the weekend, are you talking about with Zelenskyy or with them?” TRUMP: “With Zelenskyy and us.” Q: “And you said in an interview yesterday that you think it’s time for Zelenskyy to start accepting things. What things are you talking about?” TRUMP: “Well, I think he has to be realistic. And I do wonder about how long is it gonna be till they have an election. You know, for a democracy, it’s a long time. They haven’t had an election in a long time. There was a poll that came out, 82% of the people are demanding a settlement be made, Ukrainian people. They wanna see a settlement be made. I understand that. They’re losing thousands and thousands of people a week. They wanna see it ended. And I do say at what point, when do they have an election in Ukraine? That’s not casting aspersions on anybody, but they do have a massive corruption situation going on there… People are asking this question, ‘When do they have an election?’ Are they gonna have an election, or are they gonna just keep it going like this? So, I think it’s time to get that war settled, and I think it’s a war that can be settled. But it takes two to tango.”

🔥 WOW! Marine Joey Jones just OBLITERATED Hasan Piker for glorifying Charlie Kirk's death "How tall is Hasan Piker? 6'3, 6'4, maybe 6'2? I didn't know they could STACK SH*T that high — because THAT'S WHAT THAT IS." "God FORBID, if I'm ever in a place where I feel like I should celebrate the death of someone I disagree with because they had the audacity to be passionate about something, try to live that as an example and influence young people to think and care about more than social media and credit cards!" "And that's what Charlie Kirk did. He said, listen, you don't have to go in debt to be successful. You don't have to be lonely to be happy." "There is another option...Lord help to be the kind of person that would go on stage and MOCK him today after he was killed in front of people that way, just in such a horrible, gruesome way." "You know, it ain't about Hasan Piker anymore! We can talk about him all day. It's the POLITICIANS that are running for office and are elected that are pandering to him, that invite him, that platform him, that say he speaks for them at least in some way."

Oh my. I didn’t expect Candace Owens to bring me to tears tonight. “I also think that if that had happened to Charlie Kirk and someone had said that you protect pedophiles, that would a great opportunity to be what Turning Point has always been and say—oh, you have a disagreement? Come to the front of the line. That's the notorious thing that Charlie always said. You have a disagreement, come to the front of the line. I would love to debate you— I can debate that any day of the week-.” I actually just paused the video to write this. THAT… is who Charlie Kirk was. THAT is who changed so many of us. He wasn’t calling for speech laws, he wasn’t calling for people to be “de-platformed”… “If you have a disagreement, come to the front of the line.” - Charlie Kirk. I’m so sorry that the world has lost him. He made it infinitely better.

He’s accurate about that. He’s telling you he don’t give damn about what you have to say about SGA or Jaylen Brown. He should be the league MVP.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Who Won? Elon Musk Debates Don Lemon Over the Impact of DEI Programs Lemon repeatedly said, “There’s no evidence” that DEI programs are lowering medical standards, a comment Elon Musk believes is a “false statement.” Who is right? Musk calls on Community Notes to settle the score. LEMON: “There was a repost of Ben Shapiro that you claim that DEI is killing people. Specifically, you point to medicine. You claim that DEI programs are putting people at risk. Do you really believe this to be true? And what evidence do you have to support it?” MUSK: “What I was referring to there was that if we lower the standards for doctors, if the test for a doctor is lowered, then the probability of them making a mistake and killing someone is obviously going to be higher.” LEMON: “Wait, say that again. I’m not sure I understand what you said. I want to make sure I understand what you’re saying.” MUSK: “Yes. If the status for passing medical exams and becoming a doctor, especially something like a surgeon, if the standards are lowered, then the probability that the surgeon will make a mistake is higher. They’re making mistakes in their exam. They may make mistakes with people — and that may result in people dying.” LEMON: “What evidence do you have, though, that they’re lowering the standards? There is no evidence of that.” MUSK: “I believe there is.” LEMON: “There’s no evidence of that, Elon. What is the evidence?” MUSK: “I believe they have literally lowered the standards at Duke University, and that is what the article was referring to. You are saying they have not lowered the standards?” LEMON: “There’s no evidence about lowering standards. And I think that there is —” MUSK: “I believe that is a false statement you’re making.” LEMON: “Okay, well, we’ll figure it out.” MUSK: “The interesting thing is, when this is posted on the X platform, there will be a whole bunch of things that rebut what you said and what I said. And so people can then make their own decision, based on the replies and the rebuttals and the community notes.”

Who Won? Elon Musk Debates Don Lemon Over the Impact of DEI Programs Lemon repeatedly said, “There’s no evidence” that DEI programs are lowering medical standards, a comment Elon Musk believes is a “false statement.” Who is right? Musk calls on Community Notes to settle the score. LEMON: “There was a repost of Ben Shapiro that you claim that DEI is killing people. Specifically, you point to medicine. You claim that DEI programs are putting people at risk. Do you really believe this to be true? And what evidence do you have to support it?” MUSK: “What I was referring to there was that if we lower the standards for doctors, if the test for a doctor is lowered, then the probability of them making a mistake and killing someone is obviously going to be higher.” LEMON: “Wait, say that again.

I think the presenter is on to something big, but where I disagree with her is that she accuses African leaders and gives a subtle pass to African citizens. It is not true that African citizens were oblivious to what Trump or Epstein are. They knew, but they simply did not have the ability to think critically that when Trump talks about LGBT issues, it is not necessarily that he does not support them, but that he understood there is a group of foolish people out there who would buy into that rhetoric without interrogating why he was deploying it. Some of Trump’s best friends, like Peter Mandelson, are gay, yet some Africans were foolish enough to believe that Trump is anti-gay. He simply understood how human beings operate, that there are times when people fail to think, a tragic failure to think, and they just go with the flow. If you ask Africans today what they gained from the perceived homophobia that Trump projected, which we know was political theatre targeted at a particular audience, they will not be able to tell you. Trump might be many things to many people. I do not like him and everybody knows that, but the one thing I respect him for is that he understands his audience. He knows what to say when he is talking to foolish people. He knows what to say when he is talking to idiotic people. He knows what to say when he is talking to sycophants. He knows what to say when he is talking to people who do not understand the world of politics, and he gets away with it. And for that, I give it to him. He becomes a political superstar precisely because you then have black people in Africa supporting him. That in itself shows you the scale of political illiteracy that exists, where people rally behind rhetoric crafted to manipulate them, not to advance their interests.

Trump was reportedly furious over Noem’s assertion during a hearing that he had approved that $200+ million ad campaign but she actually had told this story before and based on what the former DHS Secretary says here, it allegedly was his idea. Noem: He said, “Do you know those ads that you did in South Dakota?” Oh, and I said, “Yes sir, you mean my ‘Freedom Works Here’ ads?” And he said, “Yeah, those ones where you — those beautiful ads, you know, those beautiful ads, beautiful — you did about South Dakota. They had Mount Rushmore, all those things.” He said, “I want you to do those for the border..” And I said, “Well sir, I don’t know how that works. You mean the ones where I was a plumber and where I was an electrician? I don’t know if I can do those for the border.” And he said, “No, I want you to do those for the border, and I want you to do those everywhere — not just in the United States, but I want them around the world. I want you to tell people not to come to this country if they’re going to come here illegally.” And I said, “Well sir, we can do press conferences. You know, we can tell people what we’re doing.” And he said, “Nope. We’re not going to let the media tell this story because the media will never tell the truth. A marketing campaign to make sure the American people know the truth of what you’re doing.” And I said, “Well sir, do you want to be in those ads?” And he said, “Nope, nope, I want you to do them.” He said, “I want you in the ads.” He said, “I want you in the ads, and I want your face in the ads. But I want the first ad — I want you to thank me. So I want you to thank me for closing the border.” And I said, “Yes sir, I will thank you for closing the border.” So if you notice in that ad, we thanked him for closing the border.

Chris Christie reveals the bad advice he gave President Trump that caused Trump to stop talking to him. "I said, 'You need to call Biden, congratulate him, invite him to the White House, shake his hand.' And I said, 'If you do that, you'll have a good reputation with the American people and whatever else you want to do with your life, it'll be wide open to you. 'If you don't do that,' and this is where I was wrong, 'all that's over.' And he said, 'Well, I'm not going to do that. What else you got?' And I said, 'I don't have anything else.' And he goes, 'Then I have nothing to talk to you about.' And we have not spoken since."
