Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan stops by for a political conversation about Donald Trump’s second term, describing it as extraordinarily corrupt, with examples including crypto dealings, foreign money flowing into Trump-linked accounts, no-bid contracts, and family members benefiting from government connections. It also discusses the political fallout from the Iran war, rising gas prices, and how these issues may hurt Republicans heading into the midterms, while arguing that Democrats are gaining energy and could win key races in the House, Senate, and states like Michigan and Texas. A major part of the discussion focuses on anti-Muslim racism and hypocrisy in political and media coverage, especially around Arab-American and Muslim candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani, and criticizes Democrats for not consistently defending Muslims.

The lies about Piker and Al Sayad are insane. And not enough Dems are sticking up for them
Annie Andrews can gain a seat in SC from Lindsay Graham's sister. Get out an vote SC for a Dr. Instead of a candidate that admits she doesn't understand foreign policy.
I'm embarrassed for her…
I'm way more afraid of Christian Nationalists than I could ever be of Muslims.
People need to understand that Trump went into the presidency to make business deals not to care for the American people.
It's time to stop blaming Trump — the fault lies with the collective stupidity of AmeriKKKans.
Thank you both!
In the last half of the 20th century it looked as if all the hateful racial, political, nationalistic and misogynistic ignorance of the first half was being discarded. But, now it looks like old habits, like stupidity its self, die hard!
I live in Wisconsin and I am watching the Republican Tom Tiffany now saying he's going for affordability not only him Van orden. they're both Trump lackeys. They're both rich. They don't even know what the hell they do about affordability because they don't even believe it. Democrats need to expand their talking points to include detention centers and also climate change. It's fucking happening now!
Ice and what they are doing and are detention center should be front and center. They're killing babies.
When are we going to go into a deep dive about the people's pardoned. They are corrupt as all hell!
The Supreme Court gave him the ability to do what he's doing. Anything while he does in office he has immunity! We need to expand the courts and if the Republicans have their way right now they will limit that ability. Trump's destroying America because he's pissed we didn't vote him in in 2020.
Mehdi Hasan? How the heck did another islamic hater of american capitalism get here!😢
The national Democrat ic party got us Trump. Islamophobia is just one of almost infinite examples how. The party desperately needs housecleaning to go with the refreshing that's happening now.
And Jeffries tries to whitewash his "private meeting" with Jared K.
Proverbs 4:14-17
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
She didn't lose all the swing states. 3lon changed the outcome. H3 and Agolf bragged about it.
Let's see; the GOP is now the CPC (Criminal Political Cult), which not only ignores TACO's crimes but aids and abets them while the Dems. engage in "high dudgeon", spew menacing rhetoric across the media sphere, followed by ceaseless pleas for more and greater contributions to sustain their fight against the obvious evil, all the while engaging in toothless verbiage in Congress as Mango Mussolini continues the Blitz with the blessing of the SCOTUS. Is this about right? All I can see is an ineffective system of governance in accordance with a Constitution that demonstrates its total uselessness. It's starting to look like there may need to be actions a bit more fulsome than the good ol' "singing songs and carrying signs" have yielded thus far.
18:52 regarding the senate races, here in NC Roy Cooper isca HEAVY favorite. His opponent Watley is a dead fish. Using easily debunked lies in campaign ads and proudly claiming his trump bona findes. I called his campaign number and just got a voicemail prompt (not surprised) so I left a message asing what hind if drugs are they on to lead with touting his support for, and from, the pedophile president…. But, I never underestimate republicans capacity to say "f*ck you" to everyone and vote R regardless.
A striking feature of a declining empire is when corruption and hurting your own (i.e. acceptance of pedophilia) becomes the norm.
Mehdi, you have Kamala's blood on your hands for pushing Gaza against Harris. I remember even if you don't want to take responsibility, but it fell at the same time as you were launching Zateo. You hammered Gaza and attacked Harris while spending your launch dollars on media. I watched, we all watched. The distance between Harris and Trump was Gaza. It's on your head.
98% of current democrats need to be replaced for good!!!!
M&M!
