I'm so sick of talking about Hasan Piker, and I want Hasan Piker to go away.

If he wants to see Abdullah El-Syed elected, stop going on television.

I look at that Al-Sayed race right now.

Al-Sayed's got a problem in that race of his own making because he won't throw a guy over the rail who keeps going out there and saying shit like we deserve 9-11 and America's a bigger terrorist than Al-Qaeda.

And he chose to campaign with them and drive around with them and appear with them It's not good enough to say he's just some podcaster or Twitch streamer.

He needs to throw him over the rail.

Yeah.

I mean Al-Qaeda is Arabic for the database, right? It was the label that the CIA put on the terrorist networks.

They were not just observing but funding the Mujahideen.

But definitely... a false dichotomy is created that if you are against the expansion of some of the more expansionist forms of Islam, you must defend Israel, or when some Muslim does something wrong, that shows how Israel is the good guy.

And so Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, The franchise of al-Qaeda that is in Saudi Arabia and in Yemen has always been one of the most important franchises of al-Qaeda.

Up to date here right now, we're told, generally speaking, for some time, that the Houthis are another of the arms of the octopus.

The war that Tehran launched on Jerusalem in 2003, pick a date when it started, but certainly 2003 was the Jerusalem pushback.

I'm saying it.

Do you think America then is worse than Al-Qaeda? Pound for pound, yes, we have caused tremendous terror all around the world.

Abdul, are there any views that this side holds that you disavow? I'm not here to disavow people's views.

Some of you have heard about my son.

El-Sayed's got a problem in that race of his own making because he won't throw a guy over the rail who keeps going out there.
