00:00:00.000 Piers Morgan has said the horrible things over the years.
00:00:02.240 He's not said anything close to what Tucker Carlson has said about Muslims, about Arabs.
00:00:05.800 What? Are you serious?
00:00:07.000 What Piers Morgan has done is far worse than Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
00:00:10.460 He's been defending what's going on and refusing to call it a genocide.
00:00:17.220 Just to explain the gratitude and the happiness that this brother of ours is facing.
00:00:22.640 Just 10 minutes ago, he couldn't stand.
00:00:25.460 And Alhamdulillah, through your donations to work forever,
00:00:28.040 Today, not only is he standing
00:00:30.620 But he has a smile on his face
00:00:32.120 To each and every one of you
00:00:35.060 Who dignified our brother
00:00:37.380 Our father
00:00:38.360 From Gaza
00:00:39.460 Donate to God forever
00:00:41.380 And help change lives today
00:00:43.040 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
00:00:53.280 Brothers and citizens and dear friends
00:00:54.420 Hope you guys are well inshaAllah
00:00:55.060 So, we're going to watch a video from Mahdi Hassan and brother Bassem Yusuf
00:00:57.360 And I just found it a little bit like
00:00:59.680 Basim used to have felt a bit 0.55
00:01:01.320 Intimidated
00:01:03.100 And let's watch for ourselves 1.00
00:01:06.360 Because I believe Mahdi Hassan
00:01:07.660 He's a very intelligent guy and he's very good at debate
00:01:10.360 However here
00:01:11.140 His point seemed very
00:01:13.740 I found it 0.96
00:01:16.360 Silly, I found the argument silly 0.98
00:01:17.640 Let's watch for ourselves inshallah 0.99
00:01:18.680 And is he right or wrong in this matter 0.98
00:01:20.540 There's ample evidence, even he's a Shia himself 0.67
00:01:23.120 To his theology
00:01:23.840 This argument, I'll go into this 1.00
00:01:27.000 you know he's a shia and even when it comes to committing a sin uh let alone someone making a 1.00
00:01:31.320 mistake or whatever for that matter let's watch for ourselves uh what he is disagreeing with 0.96
00:01:37.720 why don't you like candace owens and tucker girls uh because they've said some horrific things over
00:01:42.600 the years so so what if i was i'll be like so what if they said horrific stuff many people
00:01:48.200 have said horrific stuff what does that mean you can't change your ways you can't change the human
00:01:51.240 being i mean you know you may have said something that you might go back and be like you know what
00:01:55.880 I was completely wrong
00:01:57.340 For whatever it might be
00:01:58.820 People are going to say
00:01:59.600 Oh you know
00:02:00.320 Sorry
00:02:00.520 You know
00:02:01.780 We're not going to like you
00:02:03.280 No
00:02:03.420 Everyone makes mistakes
00:02:04.700 So what
00:02:05.300 I mean
00:02:06.680 Why don't you like Ben Shapiro
00:02:07.800 I mean
00:02:08.340 What kind of example is that
00:02:09.800 I don't understand
00:02:10.400 Ben Shapiro has said
00:02:12.480 You know
00:02:13.400 Pro-genicidal
00:02:14.060 Let's support Tucker Carlson
00:02:15.160 Which I don't believe
00:02:15.760 They have ever said that
00:02:16.640 They've been
00:02:17.240 To an extent
00:02:18.580 Some morality on their side
00:02:20.540 But
00:02:21.220 How could you compare Ben Shapiro
00:02:22.560 To
00:02:23.020 Tucker Carlson
00:02:24.120 And
00:02:24.460 Candace Owens
00:02:25.420 As far as I don't know, they have been consistent
00:02:27.640 When it came to the kingdom of innocent men, women, and children
00:02:29.580 They said this is where we draw the line
00:02:31.240 Ben Shapiro does not draw the line
00:02:32.840 So the comparison is very
00:02:33.880 For someone who's articulate, very intelligent
00:02:36.620 I'm actually very, very surprised
00:02:39.100 This argumentation of his
00:02:40.480 Piers Morgan has said the horrible things over the years
00:02:42.960 He's not said anything close to what Tucker Carlson has said
00:02:45.220 About Muslims, about Arabs, about immigrants
00:02:47.340 Come on, man, this guy is 0.96
00:02:48.500 What? Are you serious?
00:02:50.380 I believe what Piers Morgan has done is far worse than Tucker Carlson
00:02:53.000 And Candace Owens
00:02:53.840 He's been defending what's going on
00:02:56.260 And refusing to call it a genocide
00:02:58.360 You yourself interviewed Mahdi Asa
00:03:00.060 When it comes to Russia
00:03:00.820 He has one rule 0.98
00:03:01.780 When it comes to Israel
00:03:03.020 He has a different set of rules
00:03:04.080 Like I'm serious
00:03:05.640 I'm just thinking
00:03:06.560 Is this AI?
00:03:07.320 Is this really Mahdi Asa?
00:03:08.180 But it's from Zeto or Zito
00:03:10.040 Whatever it's from his actual Instagram
00:03:12.140 To be strategic and use their platforms
00:03:13.640 You can
00:03:13.900 Some people do
00:03:15.900 You don't like that
00:03:16.760 No it's not that I don't like it
00:03:18.260 It's that my worry is
00:03:19.640 And you can use it
00:03:20.360 Allah says in the Quran
00:03:21.100 You know
00:03:21.960 In Surah Maidah
00:03:23.540 وَتَعَوَنُ عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَتَقْوَ
00:03:26.060 When it comes to, you know, come together when it comes to righteousness. 0.72
00:03:28.620 And the Prophet ﷺ came together in Hilf al-Fudul with the Mushrikeen. 0.51
00:03:32.260 Mushrikeen, you know, subhanAllah, because a man was being wronged. 0.92
00:03:35.340 So, I don't understand, even to his theology and Shiaism, 0.94
00:03:37.740 you know, I'm very sure that if someone repents or changes their ways or whatever,
00:03:41.060 say something, you give them a chance.
00:03:42.440 Like, I don't understand this attitude.
00:03:44.120 I think it's more political for that matter.
00:03:45.540 I think it's a political stance.
00:03:46.920 Mehti Hasan seems like he's more politically loyal than religiously.
00:03:50.580 For the sake of one important issue, Gaza is a huge issue. 0.99
00:03:53.540 We're giving a pass to these people 0.85
00:03:55.920 To launder some of their other objection
00:03:57.340 Like I said just now
00:03:58.400 They're not disowning Trump
00:03:59.720 Actually
00:04:00.040 Do you see what I mean?
00:04:01.020 You see what I mean?
00:04:02.060 They are talking about something really important
00:04:03.340 Because of the political view
00:04:04.580 He doesn't like them
00:04:05.600 He seems like he's more politically loyal 0.93
00:04:07.020 Than he's more religiously loyal
00:04:08.480 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:04:09.400 Or whatever
00:04:09.640 Morally
00:04:10.100 Whatever you want to call it
00:04:10.840 Just because
00:04:11.820 Their political worldview
00:04:13.380 Is
00:04:14.440 Donald Trump
00:04:15.560 Or whatever
00:04:15.820 So what? 0.93
00:04:17.080 Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:04:17.820 I'm gonna have to go home
00:04:18.600 And take a shower after this 0.58
00:04:19.480 I give her credit
00:04:20.580 Out of all of them
00:04:21.520 Because she actually picked a fight with Trump
00:04:23.400 She gave up her political career. 0.99
00:04:24.980 So she actually put her money where her mouth is, to use a phrase.
00:04:27.840 The rest of Tucker doesn't say a single anti-Trump word.
00:04:30.300 He acts like the war in Iran came down from the skies.
00:04:32.340 We wouldn't be in this war in Iran had Tucker not promoted Trump for president.
00:04:35.280 Had Candace not promoted Trump for president.
00:04:37.260 Had Megyn Kelly not promoted Trump for president.
00:04:39.000 We're in this war.
00:04:39.740 Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, all these guys.
00:04:41.920 Did you watch Joe and Theo the other day saying they're terrorists in Israel?
00:04:44.840 I can't believe we're in this war.
00:04:46.280 You guys gave us Trump.
00:04:48.460 You said...
00:04:49.000 Yeah, but how does that make them wrong?
00:04:50.380 They thought that Trump was going...
00:04:52.720 i'm genuinely bamboozled i mean i should have i didn't read method son's uh thing of how to win
00:04:57.680 a debate every time without reading it i think i've in this in this specific thing i think i could
00:05:02.880 debate him and tell him that he is absolutely wrong uh win this debate you know without reading
00:05:06.720 his book you know how to win a debate against method without reading his book yeah okay uh to
00:05:10.400 make it authentic or even use his own arguments against him how does that make sense you know at
00:05:14.560 the end of the day so what if they've done that they've they will lie to trump said we're not
00:05:18.320 are going to go to war and look, you know, the whole Epstein files and them raping little children 0.79
00:05:23.080 and then being blackmailed with it and being forced. I'm not taking blame of Trump. But come 0.53
00:05:27.240 on, how you haven't got them if they've changed a view and said, okay, we were scammed.
00:05:30.480 Jamal Harris is going to do war. Trump is anti-war. How does that work out?
00:05:33.440 I think it's all an act. 0.96
00:05:34.820 Well, whatever it is, they've got their acts fucking wrong. 0.73
00:05:36.660 And well, they're actually not, they're doing very well. And they're reaching a lot of people 0.87
00:05:41.320 and they're affecting a lot of people.
00:05:42.600 But they're affected badly. I could argue that Joe Rogan helped Donald Trump win. So Joe Rogan
00:05:46.720 the reason we're in the war iran if i wanted to i'm just saying if i took that argument
00:05:50.320 do you think joe rogan would actually would help uh well like that the democrats they would they
00:05:54.720 wouldn't know again joe rogan yes did help trump argument's sake or whoever but at the end of the
00:05:59.680 day when he was wrong um they're calling him out so he was that if you come and give me a promise
00:06:04.240 and i believe you and then you go on your word how is that my fault or like stand up for his
00:06:09.840 What was her name?
00:06:12.060 Kamala Harris. 0.94
00:06:13.340 He was a Bernie guy once, but then he got red-pilled. 1.00
00:06:16.020 She's that useless. 1.00
00:06:18.160 She's that useless. 1.00
00:06:19.460 You're missing my point. 0.99
00:06:20.460 My point is these people helped give us Trump,
00:06:23.660 and that's why I have a problem,
00:06:24.860 because I only respect the people who own it.
00:06:27.040 If you're marginating, I was wrong about Trump,
00:06:28.900 I was wrong about it, fine.
00:06:30.340 But if you're acting, hey, how did this all happen? 0.98
00:06:33.260 This war in Iran is bad. 0.99
00:06:34.140 I can't believe they're doing it.
00:06:34.920 Hey, it happened because you told people falsely
00:06:37.660 that Trump would be anti-war.
00:06:38.880 So what's your point?
00:06:39.840 My point is you asked me why I don't like them
00:06:41.840 I'm telling you why
00:06:42.440 I'm so sorry
00:06:43.460 I feel like Basim Yusuf there was
00:06:45.360 You see when someone's a good debater
00:06:47.160 Sometimes you're like
00:06:47.860 You need to be careful
00:06:48.800 He might catch me out
00:06:49.880 So Basim Yusuf didn't seem as confident as he is
00:06:52.260 And why?
00:06:53.080 Because of Mehdi's reputation
00:06:54.500 But his arguments were all weak
00:06:56.540 All weak
00:06:57.820 So sometimes you shouldn't let that overtake you
00:07:00.700 In that sense where you have this perception
00:07:02.360 Like this person's a good debater
00:07:03.180 So what?
00:07:03.840 Truth is the truth
00:07:04.500 And the truth will smash falsehood
00:07:06.160 Like Allah says in the Quran
00:07:06.940 The point is this guys 0.50
00:07:08.440 SubhanAllah in a nutshell
00:07:09.420 That this argument
00:07:10.320 Like imagine someone
00:07:11.200 Like for example
00:07:11.720 Some of the Sahaba 0.99
00:07:12.760 Companions 1.00
00:07:13.440 Yes
00:07:14.000 May have called people
00:07:15.940 To commit shirk
00:07:16.920 Before becoming a Muslim 1.00
00:07:18.000 And then becoming a Muslim 1.00
00:07:18.880 What are you going to say 1.00
00:07:19.300 Oh because of you
00:07:20.160 People are carrying on
00:07:20.900 Worshipping idols
00:07:22.200 Yeah I've changed
00:07:22.980 I've repented
00:07:23.480 Sorry I was wrong
00:07:24.400 Hello can I not be wrong
00:07:25.460 Like come on 0.98
00:07:26.040 Like Behati
00:07:27.000 I'll be honest with you
00:07:27.600 I'm a bit
00:07:28.800 Taken aback
00:07:29.700 Of this argumentation
00:07:30.820 That you have
00:07:31.480 And Candice Owens
00:07:32.460 And Tucker Carlson 1.00
00:07:33.140 And Lady Meghan
00:07:34.960 Etc 1.00
00:07:35.240 They are all exploiting Israel 0.98
00:07:36.880 And if anything 1.00
00:07:37.600 We should ally with them
00:07:38.600 It's as simple as that
00:07:39.500 Till next time.
00:07:40.100 Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
