Goldie Ghamari - Qatar 101： Why Qatar is a terrorist state

00:00:00.000 We'll be right back.

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 well hello everyone did you guys miss me i certainly missed you guys um

00:02:28.400 it's great to be back this isn't my usual time but as you can tell things are a little different

00:02:33.840 um i've upgraded the goldie show a little bit you can see i have a different background

00:02:38.880 i have a microphone now i have a camera um so yeah like i was kind of working on on setting

00:02:46.560 things up and figuring it all out and uh yeah the goldie show is back and i'm gonna get started

00:02:52.400 again with my usual times um weekdays at 12 noon eastern but i figured i might as well do

00:03:00.080 um a test run and uh and see if all my equipment is working so yeah um let me know if there's any

00:03:08.880 audio issues or if there's any video issues or you know whatever the case might be i think

00:03:14.960 everything is finally set up perfectly um the only thing though is that i've i'm used to like

00:03:21.200 looking at my camera when i'm speaking like at my webcam but now that i have like a camera set up

00:03:27.120 you know this is where the camera is but this is where the screen is so yeah i'm kind of going back

00:03:33.600 and forth a little bit so i have to get um get used to that and yeah i missed i missed all of

00:03:39.920 you guys as well it's really really great to be back and uh have a great show today um i don't

00:03:47.120 know if you've noticed but qatar has been in the news a lot recently and so i figured i would

00:03:54.560 do a little bit of a qatar 101 well it's it's qatar but in english you know it's it's pronounced

00:03:59.760 um qatar um so i figured i would do a little bit of a qatar 101 and share a little bit of

00:04:07.200 information because a lot of people don't know too much about qatar you don't really hear about it

00:04:14.000 um and yet qatar is responsible for a lot of the terrorism that we're seeing um not just in the

00:04:26.100 middle east but in north america as well so i'm just going to begin here with a little bit of a

00:04:32.020 like a qatar 101 primer here so um you know it's officially the state of qatar it's a country in

00:04:40.180 west asia or the middle east um as you can tell you know here it is um tiny little gulf country

00:04:47.620 right there in the middle east right on the persian gulf and um shares border with saudi

00:04:55.800 arabia and the rest of its territory is surrounded by the persian gulf the gulf of bahrain and inlet

00:05:01.660 of the persian gulf separates qatar from bahrain the capital is doha it's home to over 80 percent

00:05:08.380 of the country's inhabitants most of the land area is made up of flat low-lying desert it's

00:05:15.020 been ruled by a hereditary monarchy by the house of thani um since 1868 and it became a british

00:05:22.940 protectorate and then it gained independence in 1971. you may have heard about the the doha

00:05:31.740 forum which is happening right now i'm going to dive into the doha forum tomorrow and talk

00:05:37.660 a little bit about the people who are there um and who qatar is platforming um that includes the

00:05:47.260 islamic republic occupying iran um so it makes you wonder you know this this state that claims you

00:05:54.460 know it's it's an ally of the united states and yet they are constantly platforming islamic 0.71

00:06:01.980 terrorists and of course they're also responsible for a lot of the indoctrination that you are

00:06:09.340 seeing um in north america as well so i'm just going to start with um i want to start with this

00:06:17.740 post here so this was posted by amikai shikli he is the minister of diaspora and combating

00:06:26.140 anti-semitism and this is what he had to say he said doha the world capital of the muslim brotherhood

00:06:33.020 and the atm of hamas is opening this weekend its annual terror laundering gala the doha forum

00:06:40.380 on stage under crystal chandeliers are ahmed al-shara former al-qaeda commander who drowned

00:06:46.940 syria in blood now scrubbed and airbrushed as mr president javad zarif foreign minister of iran's

00:06:54.700 terror regime. Jawad Zarif is well known to Iranians. He is a terrorist. He has the blood

00:07:01.920 of hundreds of thousands of Iranians on his hands. Hakdan Fidan, Erdogan's Islamist enforcer. 0.86

00:07:09.420 If you guys don't know Erdogan, who is the president of Turkey, he is also connected to 0.84

00:07:15.640 the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization. All beaming for Al Jazeera, the global megaphone 0.88

00:07:23.820 of the Muslim Brotherhood. I have spoken about Al Jazeera before, but I will be speaking about 0.99

00:07:30.840 Al Jazeera again in this episode and also in future episodes. He continues to write,

00:07:39.280 A brief reminder of the terror money trail. Hundreds of millions to al-Qaeda in Syria,

00:07:46.500 hundreds of millions of dollars every year to the Taliban through Doha banks. The Taliban

00:07:51.380 are the Islamist terrorist group that currently controls Afghanistan, and they've turned life 1.00

00:08:00.000 into a living hell for Afghan women. Qatari charities caught funneling money to Al-Shabaab.

00:08:08.080 If Al-Shabaab sounds familiar, that's because Al-Shabaab has recently been in the news,

00:08:13.780 especially in the United States with the allegedly $8 billion money laundering scam

00:08:22.520 by certain members of the Somali community in Minnesota. Al-Shabaab is the Islamist 0.56

00:08:30.240 terrorist group that is very powerful in Somalia. So Qatar charities are also funneling money to

00:08:39.260 al-Shabaab. And of course, more than $2 billion have been given to Hamas. And who flies in to

00:08:47.700 bless the spectacle? Tucker Carlson, Mr. I'm just asking questions. The man who described Hamas

00:08:53.400 jihadists as a political party and wondered what is so bad about Sharia law, now arriving with his

00:09:00.260 entourage to bow before Qatar's prime minister on stage. CNN star Christian Amanpour, Iranians we

00:09:08.100 do not like Christian Amanpour. She has been whitewashing the crimes of the terrorist Islamic 1.00

00:09:13.400 Republic for a very, very long time. So Christian Amanpour is there. And of course, Francesca 0.90

00:09:20.280 Albanese, Hamas's cheerleader at the United Nations and on the world stage. Sunday preachers 0.89

00:09:28.260 of human rights, Monday hostesses for every blood-soaked Islamist foreign minister on 1.00

00:09:33.580 earth. In the end, just as in Tolkien's epic, the real question floating above the hall is not 0.99

00:09:39.780 political. It is the oldest moral test known to humanity. Can a person refuse the temptation of

00:09:46.360 power, money, and prestige when they are offered in the service of evil? In Doha, this test is not

00:09:52.720 merely failed, it is celebrated. And here you can see just exactly some of the people who are

00:10:00.520 speaking at the Doha Forum right now, Doha being the capital of Qatar. So you see Ahmad al-Shara

00:10:07.480 there. You see Haqqan Fidan, who is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Gaza bureau chief,

00:10:16.080 so he's basically the mouthpiece for Hamas. You've got Christian Amampur there. You've got 0.84

00:10:21.160 Francesca Albanese. Of course, Tucker Carlson with his weird smiling grin. And of course,

00:10:27.680 you have javud zarif who is part of the terrorist islamic republic occupying iran and so um qatar 0.93

00:10:37.120 is not hiding the fact that they are out here um promoting and platforming islamic terrorists and 0.53

00:10:45.360 so for those of you who um are in the west you should ask the question why is qatar 0.79

00:10:52.720 who claims to be an ally of the united states platforming certain islamic terrorists

00:11:00.160 well that's because qatar is not actually your ally qatar has never been your ally and i've

00:11:05.600 actually found a number of videos on youtube that i want to share with you all um some of them go

00:11:12.320 back some of them are more recent some of them go back um quite a number of years so you know it

00:11:18.720 just goes to show that this has not like this is not something new qatar did not just recently

00:11:24.400 turn into an islamic terrorist state that funds terrorism it's something that's been going on for

00:11:31.520 decades if not longer so i want to go to the first tab here this is a video from mark levin

00:11:37.680 he posted this on may 27 of this past year so let's um let's see what mark has to say about

00:11:47.440 all of this. And these bastards are the biggest supporters of terrorism in the United States, 1.00

00:11:52.720 in the Middle East, and throughout Europe. They've also supported the Taliban fighting our soldiers. 1.00

00:11:57.500 They gave $1.8 billion, the biggest donors to Hamas. Now, other than me and a handful of others

00:12:03.960 and these fantastic organizations that are digging into the money, digging into these

00:12:07.980 colleges and universities, digging in to what politicians are receiving and companies are

00:12:12.660 receiving from Qatar, which spreads billions and tens of billions of dollars in the West in order 0.79

00:12:17.360 to destroy the west did you hear a damn thing about terrorism in qatar i didn't lots going on 0.86

00:12:23.360 in the middle east there's one thing that did not happen in the middle east that 0.86

00:12:27.440 that troubles me and troubles the 9-11 families saudi arabia there was a lot of pomp and

00:12:33.200 circumstance you had the monarchy and you had the wealthiest men on the face of the earth

00:12:38.560 running the wealthiest globalist international companies on the face of the earth i saw that and

00:12:43.280 And I said, no, there's globalism.

00:12:45.580 And then they're all talking about isolationism.

00:12:48.720 But that's not even my point.

00:12:51.520 A lot took place with the Saudi crown prince.

00:12:56.420 We're going to sell over $140 billion in military equipment and so forth to the Saudis.

00:13:03.460 That's the greatest sale of American military equipment and know-how in our history.

00:13:08.640 uh there's talk about a civilian nuclear program which we will help them build there's talk about

00:13:16.520 a strategic defense relationship between the two of us and by the way the saudis haven't had to do

00:13:22.300 anything in return like join the abraham accords and even recognize the existence of israel

00:13:26.520 uh and that will bring a lot of money into the united states i believe that's true

00:13:31.680 but why didn't we ask the Saudi crown prince to at least apologize to the 9-11 families

00:13:40.840 the evidence now is indisputable that the Saudis helped push the radical ideology

00:13:51.060 the Saudis helped directly and indirectly some of the terrorists that Saudi Arabia

00:13:59.720 effectively had a role in the attack on our

00:14:03.720 country on 9-11. Now we lost thousands of people.

00:14:09.840 Innocent people going to work in those two

00:14:11.740 towers. Innocent people going to the Pentagon. Innocent people on all the airplanes

00:14:15.500 who died.

00:14:20.220 All the firefighters. Tunnel to towers.

00:14:23.900 This is what they deal with. All the police officers.

00:14:27.760 the security guards

00:14:30.000 what a horrendous event

00:14:34.240 or events

00:14:35.520 terrorist events

00:14:36.860 and Saudi Arabia had a role 1.00

00:14:40.240 I don't allow bygones

00:14:44.180 to be bygones when it comes to life and death

00:14:46.460 I have a friggin long 0.93

00:14:48.300 memory

00:14:48.720 not even an apology

00:14:53.940 can you imagine what the 9-11

00:14:56.200 families are thinking? What they're watching? The Israelis sitting there watching? What the hell's

00:15:01.340 going on there? So that troubled me. And then let's talk about Qatar. Oh, Qatar has spent money

00:15:10.240 on our military base there. Oh, Qatar has given us money for this. And they're giving us a plane.

00:15:15.560 And they have such a great tennis league and golf league. And they gave $5 million to the

00:15:23.240 medal of honor museum they bought into the medal of honor museum they own sports clubs in the 1.00

00:15:31.620 united states all throughout europe and these bastards are the biggest supporters of terrorism 0.98

00:15:36.840 in the united states in the middle east and throughout europe they've also supported the 0.98

00:15:41.940 taliban fighting our soldiers they gave 1.8 billion dollars the biggest donors to hamas

00:15:49.880 the Hamas billionaire bigwigs got safe haven in Qatar all through up until January 1st of this

00:16:00.440 year. I just want to point that out because that doesn't get repeated enough. Even during

00:16:07.920 the October 7 genocidal massacre in Israel by Hamas terrorists, Hamas leaders were giving the 0.84

00:16:17.660 orders from their hotel rooms in qatar and that's where all the terrorists hide doesn't matter 0.76

00:16:27.220 which islamic terrorist group they are qatar is basically like a terrorist airbnb for all of these 0.56

00:16:34.080 islamic terrorist groups and you know just like mark said they've been given um billions of 0.53

00:16:39.120 dollars billions of dollars um to engage in terrorist activities in the middle east

00:16:44.520 because they saw Donald Trump was going to be president.

00:16:47.780 And they were told that's a bad look, not that they should drop the terrorism.

00:16:51.180 It's a bad look.

00:16:53.180 Now, other than me and a handful of others who have platforms

00:16:57.220 and these fantastic organizations that are digging into the money,

00:17:01.060 digging into these colleges and universities,

00:17:03.520 digging in to what politicians are receiving and companies are receiving from Qatar, 0.54

00:17:07.900 which spreads billions and tens of billions of dollars in the West in order to destroy the West. 0.83

00:17:15.000 did you hear a damn thing about terrorism in qatar i didn't for all this and much more sign 0.63

00:17:20.440 up for living tv there you go so that's a little pro little clip from from what mark levin said

00:17:27.880 i wanted to share this next video with you guys this video this is from 11 years ago okay so 11

00:17:35.720 years ago cnn um put out this news clip where they basically were asking are terrorists raising money

00:17:43.800 in qatar so um this has been going on for quite a while guys this this has been going on for quite

00:17:51.080 a while this is not this is not something new it's only now it's only now that you're seeing 0.96

00:17:58.120 the results of that um indoctrination that qatar you know has um has instigated in the west right

00:18:10.280 by spending billions of dollars in universities and, you know, other cultural centers in Western 0.93

00:18:20.140 countries. It's not by accident that American students woke up one day and then started

00:18:27.240 yelling death to America and burning the American flag. This is all part of design and it's been

00:18:34.880 going on for for quite a long time and so this news article from CNN guys this is from 11 years

00:18:43.980 ago so let's watch this together the richest country on earth sitting on the third largest

00:18:58.300 reserves of natural gas there are only 250,000 citizens of Qatar making it home to the world's

00:19:03.740 largest concentration of millionaires. General Jim Jones is a former U.S. national security

00:19:08.920 advisor. Qatar has emerged from under the previous Amir from being a relatively obscure

00:19:16.320 minor player to a position of preeminence. Doha's skyline is proof of Qatar's ambition.

00:19:24.620 It's big, it's modern, and it's new. 15 years ago, almost none of this was here. And that

00:19:29.480 growth attracts some of America's biggest companies, energy giants like Exxon, of course,

00:19:33.780 but also companies like Boeing. The company just sold 50 triple sevens to a consortium,

00:19:38.840 including Qatar Airways. Martin Reardon opened the first FBI office in Doha. He says it isn't

00:19:44.220 just corporate America benefiting from a relationship with Qatar. One of the largest

00:19:47.800 air bases that the U.S. has outside the continent of the United States is here in Doha. It's huge.

00:19:53.600 It's so huge, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel signed a 10-year agreement to keep U.S. forces here. 0.53

00:19:58.660 thank you guys thank you qatar also was a key part of the negotiations with the taliban to free

00:20:03.540 american pow bo bergdahl earlier this week i was able to personally thank the emir of qatar for

00:20:09.460 his leadership in helping us get it done the five taliban prisoners from guantanamo bay were

00:20:14.020 welcomed in doha with open arms a local qatari told me he has no problem with them did you catch

00:20:20.340 that so the um taliban prisoners these you know terrorists were welcomed with open arms um into

00:20:30.340 qatar and qataris had no issue with that this isn't a surprise right so he's saying qatar is

00:20:44.580 open to everyone and then the the reporter asks him even the taliban and this guy replies yeah

00:20:50.820 even the taliban that's does that i mean does that sound like um a country or a society

00:21:02.180 that is friendly with the west when they say that our country is open

00:21:06.020 to islamic terrorists and again guys this is 11 years ago prides itself on its clout with the u.s

00:21:16.100 and extremists this youtube video is one of several showing fighters in syria thanking qatari

00:21:23.220 donors for weapons the brothers of madad is the name of a fundraising campaign it contributes to

00:21:30.340 humanitarian relief in syria but this tweet last august from an al-qaeda linked militia

00:21:35.220 is one of several from al-Qaeda supporters directing followers to donate to the campaign.

00:21:40.260 Juan Zarante is the former deputy national security advisor for combating terrorism.

00:21:44.740 What you have is the resurrection of charitable networks that had been suppressed post 9-11,

00:21:50.740 but that are being reborn in the context of Syria.

00:21:53.780 So, so how big of a player is Qatar?

00:21:56.420 Qatar is at the center of this. Qatar has now taken its place in the lead of countries that

00:22:02.820 are supporting al-qaeda and al-qaeda related groups did you catch that guys qatar is literally

00:22:10.100 at the center of this and yet um just you know in the last few weeks we've seen a bunch of

00:22:17.540 american influencers who are going there um on paid trips to qatar and they're posting about

00:22:23.780 it and saying oh qatar is such a wonderful place everyone should visit qatar it's a beautiful

00:22:27.780 country meanwhile 11 years ago um americans you know who are experts in counterterrorism

00:22:35.060 were going on cnn and they were saying that qatar is at the center of of the islamic terrorist

00:22:40.900 movement that we're seeing around the world people were sounding the alarm um at least

00:22:47.860 11 years ago if not longer in april a kuwaiti cleric known to support al-qaeda linked groups

00:22:54.020 tweeted he was heading to qatar to raise money for jihad and just last week the cleric tweeted

00:22:59.060 this poster wait did i catch that someone someone tweeted that they're going to qatar 0.60

00:23:05.060 to raise money for jihad right and then and then these same islamic terrorists want to

00:23:12.420 tell you that oh no jihad jihad doesn't mean what it what you think it means jihad means 0.85

00:23:18.500 internal struggle guys if jihad meant you know a personal internal struggle why the heck would

00:23:25.440 they be tweeting in arabic saying that they're going to go to qatar to raise money for jihad

00:23:30.340 do you see how you can catch them in their own lies and their own contradictions um because they

00:23:35.740 always say one thing in english but then they'll say another thing in arabic and they hope that

00:23:41.880 no one catches what they're saying, right? So yeah, like, again, anyone who tries to, you know,

00:23:49.480 tell you that, oh, jihad is just an internal struggle. It has nothing to do with, you know,

00:23:56.240 murdering infidels. No, no, that's a lie. Let's listen to this part again, because the guy

00:24:03.360 literally tweets, he says, I'm going to Qatar to raise money for jihad. Qatar to raise money for 0.53

00:24:10.960 jihad and just last week i'll go back a little bit more here we go tweeted he was heading to

00:24:15.760 qatar to raise money for jihad and just last week the cleric tweeted this poster which says our

00:24:21.520 jihad in syria is financial jihad it asks for donations in qatari kuwaiti or saudi currencies

00:24:27.740 is this something you could conceal and would be very difficult because you have probably so i mean

00:24:32.820 And that makes it makes it pretty clear, makes it pretty clear the kinds of people who go to Qatar and what sort of fundraising activities openly happen in Qatar.

00:24:48.600 Like they're not even hiding it. They're not even hiding the fact that they're raising money for jihad.

00:24:56.120 And as we all know, jihad is not internal struggle. 0.59

00:25:01.640 Jihad is basically Islamic terrorism. 0.79

00:25:04.660 Probably, you know, if you give a dollar to, if I give a dollar to you and you want to help somebody and then you also want to buy a gun, how do I know?

00:25:11.440 Well, that is an issue, and that's an issue worldwide when you're talking money laundering with cash.

00:25:17.240 Saad bin Saad al-Kabi is a fundraiser for the Madad al-Alsham campaign in Doha.

00:25:21.840 His current profile on Facebook's WhatsApp, a social media platform,

00:25:26.180 requests donations equal to $1,500 U.S. to prepare a fighter by arming, feeding, and treating him.

00:25:33.320 We called Al-Kabi when we were in Doha.

00:25:35.720 He wouldn't meet with us, but he denied the poster solicited money for weapons.

00:25:39.940 He meant she said that there was no mention of weapons.

00:25:42.940 It's on there right now.

00:25:43.960 Mm.

00:25:44.460 he says he has no no knowledge and when we asked why he used a picture of the plane sitting the

00:25:57.600 world trade center on 9 11 in a tweet he replied the picture is everywhere on the internet he

00:26:03.280 says that photos all over the internet al-kabi told us we couldn't donate to his campaign right 0.99

00:26:07.600 now but would have to give to him isn't that messed up so these these islamic terrorists 1.00

00:26:13.180 You know, 11 years ago, we're going around raising money for jihad. And they were posting pictures of 9-11. And then they want to tell you that they're your friends. Do you see what these people are like? Do you see how their thinking is? 1.00

00:26:38.180 they're literally posting pictures of 9-11

00:26:42.100 and they're talking about fundraising for jihad

00:26:46.060 this makes it pretty clear

00:26:49.280 what jihad means to them

00:26:51.240 wouldn't you think

00:26:52.420 I mean it's just so

00:26:56.560 vile and

00:26:58.800 and hateful 0.59

00:27:00.740 and when you confront them with it

00:27:04.400 right when you confront them

00:27:06.080 they just say oh the picture's everywhere on the internet what does that even mean what does it

00:27:10.160 even mean um when they say the picture's everywhere on the internet sure is everywhere on the internet

00:27:17.360 he says that photo is all over the internet al-kabi told us we couldn't donate to his

00:27:21.200 campaign right now but would have to give to another charity approved by the qatari government

00:27:25.920 he also wouldn't tell us how much money he raised but in one tweet last summer he asks

00:27:30.400 ala to bless the people of qatar for donating the equivalent of 1.4 million dollars

00:27:37.280 we don't know where these funds went but according to the qatari newspaper al arab

00:27:41.440 at one point the madad al-al-sham campaign worked with qatar's volunteer work center

00:27:46.080 to raise money to help syrian refugees the work center was supervised by the qatari

00:27:50.880 government's ministry of culture the minister declined our request for an interview so how high

00:27:56.720 up in the government in Qatar does the support for Islamic extremism for these al-Qaeda linked

00:28:02.380 groups go? Well, these are decisions made at the top. And so Qatar operates as a monarchy.

00:28:09.240 Its officials, its activities follow the orders of the government. And to the extent that there

00:28:15.460 is a policy of supporting extremists in the region, that's a policy that comes from the top.

00:28:21.220 This is the Taliban office in Doha behind me. Now, it just opened last year.

00:28:26.720 Did I catch that? The Taliban. Okay, so the Taliban's office in Doha. Again, the Taliban 0.95

00:28:39.700 is a listed terrorist entity. And Qatar has an office for the Taliban. And yet Qatar also

00:28:52.500 claims to be an ally of the united states here and no one responded to our many attempts to reach

00:29:02.740 them so it may just be a storefront but the fact is this qatar is the only country in the region

00:29:08.260 with a diplomatic taliban presence and the emir the ruler of this country personally negotiated

00:29:13.540 the release of five Taliban prisoners in exchange for American POW Bo Bergdahl.

00:29:24.340 The emir, Sheikh Tamir, is just 34 years old.

00:29:28.020 He's the emir. He's very powerful. I mean, as President Truman said, the buck stops there.

00:29:33.220 The Al-Tani family has ruled Qatar for 150 years. They're celebrated internationally,

00:29:38.900 getting top billing on this year's town and country global influence list,

00:29:42.660 and appearing with the social elite at events like Britain's royal wedding.

00:29:47.540 The emir was unable to meet with us while we were in Doha, but we spoke with his sister,

00:29:52.100 who's on the Time 100 list of most influential people, about the family's massive charity

00:29:57.220 donations. I remember I was living in America when Katrina happened and Qatar was one of the

00:30:02.980 first countries to donate $100 million to the U.S. So it's definitely something that's embedded

00:30:10.100 are engraved in our in our national strategy and development that generosity is part of why world

00:30:17.140 leaders eagerly embrace the qatari royal family i just want to welcome the america power and thank

00:30:24.660 him and the people of this country for friendship they've shown towards the united states general

00:30:32.340 jim jones says qatar has passed some laws against terror finance but it's not enough they probably

00:30:38.260 are a little bit more towards supporting people that we are a little bit less than thrilled with.

00:30:47.300 Qatar continues to be a haven for financing extremists. The Treasury Department says Qatar

00:30:52.740 is one of the most permissive countries in the world when it comes to allowing funding for

00:30:56.340 things like al-Qaeda. Your family is so powerful here. Do you think there's more that you can do?

00:31:03.300 Qatar is doing a lot, but the networks that you're discussing requires a group effort.

00:31:10.180 And I think it's, you know, one country, whichever country it is, can't do it alone.

00:31:16.440 It's no secret the government allows people like Ali Al-Nuemi to live freely in Qatar.

00:31:21.360 Nuemi was the president of the Qatar Soccer Association,

00:31:24.180 which controversially won the bid for the 2022 World Cup.

00:31:27.320 The United States Treasury designated him a terrorist last year,

00:31:30.940 saying he raised millions to fund terror.

00:31:34.080 Then there's Wagdi Gonim, a cleric who lived in Orange County, California.

00:31:38.760 The U.S. suspected him of fundraising activities that could support terrorism.

00:31:43.360 Gonim agreed to leave the U.S. and now lives in Doha,

00:31:46.080 where earlier this year he appeared in a YouTube video soliciting money for Syria with Saad bin Saad al-Kabi.

00:31:51.620 Why does the United States have to accept Qatar providing harbor to people of the United States says are terrorists?

00:31:58.500 Because going beyond that, in a strategic sense, Qatar is a key ally of the United States.

00:32:04.100 An ally Martin Reardon says the U.S. can't afford to lose.

00:32:09.860 There is no reality where Qatar is an actual ally of the United States.

00:32:17.940 And we are going to dive into that.

00:32:21.400 but this is wild that you have these American people who are saying that Qatar is an ally

00:32:32.380 of the United States. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the reasons that you're

00:32:39.360 seeing a lot of this destabilization in the United States, one of the reasons that you're

00:32:45.740 seeing a lot of these young people attacking their own American identity and burning the American 0.91

00:32:53.020 flag and you know shouting for intifada and jihad is because Qatar has successfully infiltrated 0.76

00:33:02.700 the social media network for young people and they're very popular on TikTok and Instagram

00:33:09.900 especially through um aj plus which is like the um the younger version of al jazeera and al jazeera

00:33:19.980 and aj plus are basically just foreign mouthpieces for the qatari government and they um they have

00:33:27.100 been indoctrinating um young people in north america for a very very long time and that's 0.63

00:33:35.500 the reason why you're seeing a lot of them now um burning the american flag even though they

00:33:41.180 themselves are american so that that maxim that you keep your your friends close put your enemies

00:33:48.780 closer that's very relevant to qatar but will the trade-offs cost america there's no question

00:33:55.020 that money going to al-qaeda affiliates and groups hurts the united states money coming out of qatar

00:34:02.300 not only allows these groups to grow in strength on the battlefield in syria

00:34:06.860 but allows them the possibility the budget to imagine plotting and to actually attack the

00:34:13.420 united states in the west wow so that that was from 11 years ago guys so that was a cnn report

00:34:21.820 from 11 years ago i also i also want to play now

00:34:32.300 um this next video this is um president trump um and this is what he said eight years ago

00:34:41.500 okay so let's just listen to what president trump said eight years ago about qatar

00:34:49.100 the nation of qatar unfortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level

00:34:57.260 it still is by the way it's it still is the big one of the biggest funders of terrorism the the

00:35:04.060 two biggest um funders of terrorism right now in the world the first one is qatar and the second

00:35:11.260 one is the islamic republic occupying my country of iran um those are the two biggest sponsors so

00:35:19.580 um it's it's still happening and in the wake of that conference nations came together 0.77

00:35:27.260 and spoke to me about confronting qatar over its behavior so we had a decision to make

00:35:37.580 do we take the easy road or do we finally take a hard but necessary action

00:35:43.900 we have to stop the funding of terrorism i decided along with secretary of state

00:35:53.820 rex tillerson our great generals and military people the time had come to call

00:36:02.140 on qatar to end its funding they have to end that funding and its extremist ideology

00:36:14.540 in terms of funding i want to call in all of the nations to stop immediately

00:36:21.740 supporting terrorism stop teaching people to kill other people stop filling their minds with hate

00:36:30.780 and intolerance i won't name other countries but we are not done solving the problem but we will 0.70

00:36:40.300 solve that problem have no choice unfortunately though um unfortunately qatar is still funding 0.73

00:36:51.540 terrorism. In fact, I think that their funding has, in fact, 0.84

00:36:55.980 increased. So it's interesting to me that this is something

00:37:00.360 President Trump said eight years ago, he acknowledged the fact

00:37:04.980 that Qatar is sponsoring Islamic terrorism. And he said that it

00:37:12.600 must stop. And yet it hasn't stopped, it's it's still

00:37:17.340 continuing and now if anything we're seeing um american social media influencers who are

00:37:25.900 going to qatar and they're coming back and they're praising this um terrorist state

00:37:35.340 okay here's another one now this is more recent so this is a video from one month ago

00:37:43.020 um and this was played on sky news australia guys i hope that these videos are kind of giving you

00:37:51.340 um a little bit of a backgrounder uh you know like a qatar 101 obviously there's a lot of various

00:37:58.980 issues um that we can talk about when it comes to qatar and we will um you know i'll i'll host

00:38:05.820 episodes down the road where I speak about, you know, I focus selectively on various issues

00:38:14.880 relating to Qatar, like, I'll have an episode where I speak about how they're influencing 1.00

00:38:19.740 the United States, how they're, you know, indoctrinating the youth, their their ties 0.83

00:38:25.460 to the Muslim Brotherhood, all of that. But, you know, this episode is kind of like, it's like a

00:38:30.900 Qatar 101 to kind of give you guys a little bit of an introduction into who and what Qatar is all

00:38:40.320 about. So that's why I'm keeping it a little bit more broad, a little bit more general. I'm also

00:38:45.300 playing older videos for you on purpose because those older videos from eight years ago or 11

00:38:53.220 years ago nothing has changed if anything the situation has gotten worse um when it comes to

00:39:00.260 to qatar but you know this is not something new right this isn't like new information this is

00:39:06.180 something that many people many policy makers have known for a very long time and yet for some reason

00:39:14.260 they're not really acting on it and in the meantime qatar has gotten even more powerful

00:39:19.300 even more strong my understanding is they own like half of london at this point so um yeah like

00:39:26.060 there's there's a very very big uh islamic terrorist problem that's being funded by qatar

00:39:32.640 catch up again with jonathan spire from the middle east forum he's joins us live from

00:39:39.180 jerusalem good to talk to you jonathan just momentous days yesterday and naturally enough

00:39:44.120 i know jonathan i actually um i had dinner with jonathan when i was um when i was visiting israel

00:39:51.180 last year he's a great guy a lot of focus on what happens next but i want to get your thoughts again

00:39:57.460 because you were one of the first people to point out that that attack by israel on the

00:40:02.800 hamas leadership in qatar was ground shaking not because it necessarily because it meant that

00:40:09.560 Hamas leaders couldn't operate safely anywhere, but because it forced Qatar to effectively

00:40:16.220 choose a side. Tell us how that has affected what we've seen in the last 48 hours, that alongside

00:40:23.140 the knocking out of Iran's nuclear and missile weapons facilities. 0.70

00:40:29.700 Yeah, I think, Chris, with regard to Qatar, as I indeed have pointed out, Qatar has been playing 0.91

00:40:36.480 a very dangerous double game not only regarding israel but regarding the middle east as a whole 0.87

00:40:41.760 where it backs terror organizations insurgent organizations and then it offers the opponents

00:40:46.800 of those organizations a kind of mediation which in the end ends up benefiting the insurgent

00:40:51.760 organizations so guys that's that's really important that's really critical and you know

00:40:57.280 we'll definitely talk about that as well and expand upon that but

00:41:00.800 um all of these islamic terrorist groups that are being funded by qatar um

00:41:06.480 And it's wild to me. Let me put it this way. It's absolutely wild to me. And I'm looking at the camera here for this one. It is insane to me that Qatar literally funds Islamic terrorist groups that go and engage in terrorist activities around the world. 0.97

00:41:25.300 they take hostages um these islamic terrorist groups um find safety and shelter in qatar

00:41:33.720 and then qatar comes and acts like some sort of mediator between these islamic groups that

00:41:39.980 qatar itself is funding and a mediator to to the west and i don't know why western politicians

00:41:47.620 aren't waking up to this and calling it out for what it is like this this is the equivalent and

00:41:51.860 you know i just made um i just made a video about this one of my you know iranian here pro tip

00:41:56.820 videos this is like the equivalent of your neighbor setting your house on fire and then

00:42:02.980 coming with a bucket of water and charging you to put out the fire that's exactly what qatar is 0.94

00:42:09.140 doing here so it's it's insane to me that um this is even being allowed to go on and that qatar is 0.98

00:42:17.220 is even being given the opportunity to be a mediator when everyone knows that all these

00:42:22.260 islamic terrorist groups are are backed and funded by qatar and they have um they have shelter and 0.62

00:42:31.460 refuge in qatar themselves it did this with the taliban it did it with jabat al-nusra islamist

00:42:37.940 group in syria it's done it with hamas and i do think that israel's raid on hamas leadership in

00:42:43.220 in Doha, did sort of put the Qataris on notice that that's not infinitely sustainable, that,

00:42:49.160 you know, forces are noticing this and that Qatar will pay a certain price for it. I'm not sure the

00:42:54.880 extent to which that contributed to the eventual deal. I do think it was a very important step to

00:43:00.540 have taken, and I hope there'll be further steps towards removing that possibility of Qatar's 0.96

00:43:05.180 strategy. Regarding the Iranians, yeah, it's a very central point. I think we mustn't forget 0.95

00:43:10.180 This wasn't a one-front war between Israel and Hamas.

00:43:14.260 It was at one time, in the middle of 2024 at its height, a seven-front war between Israel

00:43:19.320 and a network of proxy Islamist organizations headed by Islamic Republic of Iran,

00:43:25.040 or armed and facilitated by Islamic Republic of Iran itself.

00:43:29.880 That's the war that's been fought.

00:43:31.780 At the end of it, and we hope it's very much it has now ended yesterday,

00:43:34.940 the iran-led regional axis is vastly weaker than it was two years ago and that to my view at least 0.78

00:43:41.980 is the central achievement of the war that israel's been engaged in over the last two years

00:43:47.420 and that's also central of course in getting more arab support from the sunni arab world where they

00:43:52.980 can try and take advantage of this period when iran the the key shia force is on the back foot or

00:43:59.060 disabled to some degree i just want to get your thoughts before we go we've got a crowded program

00:44:04.200 tonight, Jonathan, but we know there are going to be many hurdles, but already with the peace deal,

00:44:11.040 the dead hostages are not being returned in numbers. There are promised 28 bodies. Only

00:44:17.280 four have been handed over. Also, Hamas are executing more so-called collaborators in Gaza.

00:44:24.140 How worried should we be about these developments on the ground right now?

00:44:27.980 I think we should be concerned. I mean, as we know, there's a President Trump had his 20-point

00:44:32.820 plan. You know, we've just had the first phase. I'm very skeptical as to whether the subsequent

00:44:39.340 phases will indeed be correctly or, you know, properly carried out. The fact is that Hamas 0.99

00:44:45.440 is still there. As we've seen in recent days, it started executing so-called collaborators as soon

00:44:50.000 as Israel pulled back from territory. You know, there are a number of, unfortunately, bodies of

00:44:54.620 hostages which have not yet been returned. Hamas claims they can't locate them. That very dangerous

00:44:59.160 Islamist actor has been weakened in Gaza. It has not yet been completely destroyed. It's going to 1.00

00:45:04.640 continue doing what we know it does. So I think there's, you know, much more tension to come. At

00:45:10.180 the end of the day, I do hope we can avoid a situation in which we've got, you know, four

00:45:13.880 manoeuvring divisions inside the Gaza Strip. So yes, conflict and tension still to come. Hopefully,

00:45:18.660 however, large-scale war, absent at least another black swan event, can be avoided in the period

00:45:23.940 ahead. Indeed. Thanks so much for joining us, Jonathan. Jonathan Speyer there, Middle East

00:45:28.500 expert, live from Jerusalem. So there we go. A little bit of an info more recently. So I found

00:45:38.080 a very, very interesting interview. And we hear a lot about, you know, Qatar being a terrorist state

00:45:49.180 And, you know, having the monarchy, which is just controlling everything and funding terrorism. We never really hear from opposition Qatari forces. And Erin Milan, if you don't follow her on YouTube, make sure that you go and give her a follow. She does fantastic, fantastic work.

00:46:11.100 um she actually just put out um a video about 17 hours ago so less than 24 hours ago and she

00:46:22.020 actually interviewed the qatari opposition leader now um i'm not very familiar with the qatari

00:46:32.620 opposition leader i mean i always assumed that there would be maybe some sort of opposition

00:46:38.920 but you never really hear about them or, you know, you never really hear them in the news.

00:46:45.080 They're never really active. And so when I came across this, this was very, very interesting to

00:46:51.500 me. So the description reads, in a historic first, Qatari opposition leader Khaled Al-Hayl sits down

00:46:58.980 with Aaron Milan for his first ever English television interview, breaking his silence

00:47:06.000 on the regime, he says, has tortured dissidents, funded extremists, manipulated the West,

00:47:14.820 and built its global power on deception. For years, most of the world never knew Qatar had 0.63

00:47:22.400 an opposition movement at all. That's true. I mean, I didn't even know that Qatar had an 0.99

00:47:27.500 opposition movement. According to al-Hayl, that was by design. And that's really interesting

00:47:34.060 Because, you know, for me as an Iranian, and I'm part of the Iranian opposition movement against the Islamic Republic, the Islamic Republic does everything and anything they can to, of course, silence our voices, whether, you know, Iranians are in Iran, or whether we're outside of Iran.

00:47:54.140 Now, we have been very good, especially in the last few years, raising awareness and combating the propaganda of the terrorist Islamic Republic.

00:48:05.140 But, you know, again, that's because of social media and our ability to gather together and speak out.

00:48:13.040 And, you know, of course, I think the other thing as well is that there are, you know, 80 million Iranians who are opposed to the Islamic Republic.

00:48:21.900 So there's just a greater number of us. Whereas when you look at Qatar, there's only like there's only 300,000 Qataris in the entire world. So I'm assuming their opposition movement is probably much, much smaller because I've never heard of a Qatari opposition movement.

00:48:41.560 um in this unprecedented conversation he reveals why he believes the current regime's expiry date

00:48:48.860 is coming how he says qatar built influence by playing arsonist and firefighter guys isn't that

00:48:56.300 the example that i gave earlier like i basically said what qatar is doing is it's they're basically

00:49:01.300 like setting your house on fire and then they're coming with a bucket of water and offering to to

00:49:06.280 to put out the fire right um his claim that the regime's existence is based on terrorism

00:49:13.160 his torture imprisonment and escape from doha his warning to western influencers and political

00:49:21.000 figures and his promise no hamas no muslim brotherhood no extremists in qatar this

00:49:29.160 interview is already making waves and the implications for the middle east the west and

00:49:33.400 global security are enormous. So we're going to watch this interview because it seems like

00:49:39.960 this gentleman, Khalid al-Hayl, he's about to do a lot of whistleblowing and exposing of not just

00:49:51.960 Qatar, but, you know, how Qatar funds Islamic terrorism and extremism in the Middle East and

00:50:01.900 around the world. So let's get started. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good

00:50:13.200 night. Welcome to this very special edition of the Erin Molan Show. We have an absolute cracker

00:50:19.400 for you. This could not wait. My next guest, if he succeeds in what he's setting out to do,

00:50:26.040 he will change the world in the most extraordinary way he is the qatari opposition leader you

00:50:35.380 probably haven't heard of that position let alone the person there's a reason he's the head of the

00:50:40.960 democratic party he wants to end the terrorist state and he says that time is coming and it's

00:50:49.500 coming quickly. His name is Sheikh Khalid al-Hayl. He's currently in exile in the UK.

00:50:56.940 The current regime, well, they want him dead, for obvious reasons. He doesn't just talk about what

00:51:03.840 he hopes for the nation of Qatar. He helps to expose the rot, the decay, the evil that exists 1.00

00:51:13.380 within he has a lot to say about the muslim brotherhood about those in america taking 1.00

00:51:20.340 money from qatar about influences and about what is at stake here it is a must watch it is a must

00:51:31.860 listen and please share far and wide this is also his first in english interview so we thank him

00:51:42.740 so much for choosing the Erin Molan show to share his story. Khalid, thank you so very much for

00:51:50.820 a coming on my show and b for having the courage to speak and and for giving us your first in

00:51:57.380 English interview, television interview. It's a great honor to have you. It's my pleasure being

00:52:03.380 here today. It's very important to be somewhere where we can speak honestly about Qatar because

00:52:09.620 honesty is something they struggle with i'm here today to speak about qatar not the polished image

00:52:16.180 they produce to the world you are the leader wow okay i feel like this is going to be um a very 0.59

00:52:24.900 very interesting and revealing interview so get settled in guys it's it's about 30 minutes long

00:52:33.300 of the qatari opposition party i i would hazard a guess most people listening have never heard

00:52:39.620 of such a thing did not realize it existed and that is for good reason because the powers that

00:52:44.500 be in qatar don't want the world to know that you exist our movement started in 2010 within qatar

00:52:55.620 And it's been developing a bit until 2014, where the first youth movement conference

00:53:05.000 being held in Egypt.

00:53:07.080 And in that time, we were talking about the support of the Muslim Brotherhood regime that

00:53:15.900 collapsed in Egypt in that time.

00:53:18.140 Our movement was based off anti-Muslim brotherhood and Islamist ideologists, which was running the country in that time.

00:53:28.340 And 2017, I held an international conference, which was attacked very strongly by Al Jazeera and Qatar media.

00:53:38.060 They were hacking us. They were chasing us.

00:53:42.800 They started to undermine us in the media.

00:53:47.500 a lot of people that affiliate yeah that's because al jazeera is the state-sponsored

00:53:53.900 mouthpiece of qatar al jazeera will never ever criticize qatar um they're basically owned by

00:54:01.460 um by by the monarchy right um so yeah al jazeera will go after anyone that challenges or threatens

00:54:10.900 Qatar. Al Jazeera is even attacking the United Arab Emirates right now because the UAE is

00:54:17.560 currently combating the Muslim Brotherhood, something that this gentleman here mentioned

00:54:23.020 as well. Affiliated with the Qatari opposition, they are banned from traveling from Doha.

00:54:34.840 Those who are outside the country, they have a genuine fear of prosecution. They cannot come

00:54:39.580 back to the country, 2013, Tamim gave some promises that he will solve these issues.

00:54:49.320 And he personally gave me a call and told me, you can come back to Doha. It will be safe.

00:54:55.160 Everything will be fine. And it was an absolutely nightmare for me. I went back to Doha. I've been

00:55:03.300 tortured. I've been in the high security intelligence prison for no reason. They started

00:55:11.220 to accuse me of some lies. I managed to run from the country. I didn't leave the country legally,

00:55:18.680 but I managed to run outside the country because I had some influence within the regime in that

00:55:25.780 time. So I've left Qatar and I established the movement in that time where a lot of people

00:55:32.180 join the movement. If you are aware in 2017, 18, 19, there were a conflict between Qatar

00:55:40.920 and the GCC countries. And I had a lot of my people publicly criticizing the regime

00:55:51.820 of Qatar. But unfortunately, Qatar was hunting them. And that's why the way we operate now

00:55:57.600 is trying to minimize the presence of the locals on TV

00:56:04.380 or on any media outlets just to protect them

00:56:08.320 because Qatar have enormous money and access to funds

00:56:12.160 and the way they operate is like a criminal organization

00:56:17.220 just hunting and undermining people.

00:56:22.800 The story they're putting to the word,

00:56:24.880 we don't have a Qatari opposition front

00:56:27.540 All what we have is people that support our king, the king of kings. 0.88

00:56:35.940 As I explained to you, the Qatari regime is an absolute monarchy system that's run by a childish regime and led by the boy king of Qatar, which loved to be worshipped and endorsed. 0.85

00:56:52.040 talk to me about why this regime is not legitimate why they are not what they paint themselves to be 0.79

00:57:01.340 in the western world and i use the example of the latest peace deal where they painted themselves

00:57:07.580 as these peacemakers that were there to help when they themselves funded the october 7 attacks they

00:57:15.700 harbored the leaders of Hamas yet they pretend to be the ones that care deeply about trying to 0.66

00:57:22.460 create peace in a region where they are on the other side creating all the chaos let me ask you

00:57:29.100 a question if there were no Qatar or there were no Hamas let's say will Qatar has any role in any 0.55

00:57:38.740 mediation? No. The same thing happened with Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and every single terrorist

00:57:49.860 front. Syria, for example, the world was accusing Qatar of funding terrorism in that time, which

00:57:56.740 is Al-Nusra front. And what happened after that? Qatar promoting them and putting them

00:58:06.520 on the table of trump so it's not an accusation is a factual information the qatari regime existence

00:58:17.900 is based on terrorism if there is not existing the qatar regime is not there there's no mediation

00:58:25.920 let me explain to you how they think 2010 i was sitting with tamim and his brother in that time

00:58:34.020 and one of our drivers from eritrea and i want to ask you a question you you you ever heard of

00:58:44.500 jibouti and eritrea conflict no no who on earth care about that so basically let me explain to

00:58:53.900 you how tamim think we were sitting tamim and his brother and one of the drivers from eritrea and

00:58:59.880 he was explaining that they have a conflict, border conflict, between Djibouti and Eritrea,

00:59:05.460 Jameem jumped, said, oh, we can solve it, we can solve the problem. He was in that time the crown

00:59:11.540 prince of Qatar. Now Hamas, they saw, okay, so the West, they're giving this case importance, 0.55

00:59:19.420 so we have to be there they every single relationship had a qatar had before with 0.83

00:59:29.720 any regime like from qadafi regime saddam hussein regime they just betrayed them they betrayed them

00:59:36.820 they betrayed that regimes even qadafi regime they were in a strong relationship with them

00:59:42.740 They were sitting in secret tables, they were making conspiracy against the other GCC countries, and I exposed them. 0.66

00:59:52.280 I am the one who leaked the record of Gaddafi, between Gaddafi and the readers of Qatar.

00:59:59.720 And it's made a big issue in the Middle East in that time, and it was the base of the main conflict in 2014.

01:00:07.480 People forgot.

01:00:08.760 Yes, we played a big role in exposing the Qatari regime.

01:00:12.000 it's in all arab media mainstreams you can go there and check that records and see how they

01:00:17.940 operate okay i want to find this recording i just looked it up um okay so apparently

01:00:30.220 like i literally just searched leaked recording between qaddafi and qatar and this showed up so

01:00:39.400 let's see what this guy's talking about with with this leaked recording so he's

01:00:49.200 saying we have connections with all the opposition again we are a country was

01:00:56.920 it caused Saudi Arabia a lot of trouble

01:01:09.400 Even their Sheikh is my 16th great grandfather and the U.S. media addressed this topic many

01:01:15.280 times.

01:01:16.280 If Americans succeed in Iraq, Saudi Arabia will become next, even Saad al-Faqi was hosted

01:01:28.840 multiple times on algebraic comments. 0.86

01:01:31.900 If you were to live 12 more years, his family will vanish, I will remind you. 0.67

01:01:39.240 So it seems like Gaddafi is like plotting with Qatar behind Saudi Arabia's back.

01:01:51.000 Gaddafi used to be the dictator in Libya before he was overthrown.

01:02:00.020 They can't make decisions. 0.93

01:02:01.680 There's a lot of trouble between Sultanahman. 0.69

01:02:05.600 Oh, wow.

01:02:06.240 Look at this.

01:02:06.680 he says those who coordinate with saudi arabia egypt and jordan have no dignity especially

01:02:15.400 egypt wow it's like they're like plotting behind each other's backs but i mean

01:02:20.680 this is how dictators operate right like this is how this is how dictators are um they're always

01:02:25.640 like they're constantly plotting and scheming you can't trust any of them for any reason right

01:02:36.680 i swear to muammar they are doomed they have no power to make decisions

01:02:43.960 oh egypt and saudi okay so this is qadafi saying egypt and saudi arabia 0.93

01:02:49.400 are the two primary countries that have brought disgrace to the arabs so he's saying that to um

01:02:57.240 this is for certain we don't pacify the way you think we started alhowar channel in london

01:03:24.240 we are the ones beating their internal disagreements stops them from controlling the kingdom trust me

01:03:33.740 we have to we have to create this axis and support the internal movements

01:03:39.500 it's in our interest in supporting this movement quietly it's only a matter of time

01:03:49.520 as i told you if we live for 12 more years i highly doubt the saudi royal family okay so

01:03:56.400 basically you guys can go and look this up after but uh this looks like um this is a leaked audio

01:04:02.400 call between qaddafi um which who was a dictator in uh libya and then um qatar the former emir of

01:04:10.800 qatar and apparently they were plotting to overthrow the saudi royal family okay so this is

01:04:21.520 the this is the leaked audio um that this gentleman is referring to here okay so now now we know which

01:04:28.000 leaked audio it is that he's talking about and it's made a big issue in the middle east in that

01:04:35.440 time and towards the back trade them they betrayed them they betrayed that regimes even qadafi regime

01:04:43.440 they were in a strong relationship with them they were sitting in secret tables they were making

01:04:49.680 conspiracy against the other gcc countries and i explained so so that the the when he's talking

01:04:56.240 about the conspiracy right so that was the leaked audio there where um qatar so basically what what

01:05:02.320 this gentleman is saying is qatar no matter who they deal with they will ultimately betray them

01:05:08.160 and so he he just gave the example of um qaddafi he's saying he's saying that listen even qaddafi

01:05:14.800 and them they were like you know having these conversations behind the scenes these secret

01:05:19.120 conversations plotting to like overthrow the saudi royal family and qatar even betrayed them

01:05:25.360 and and this is the guy um that leaked the audio suppose them i am the one who leaked the record

01:05:33.840 of qaddafi between qaddafi and the readers of qatar and it's made a big issue in the middle

01:05:40.800 east in that time and towards the base of the main conflict in 2014 people forgot yes we played a big

01:05:48.320 role in exposing the qatari regime it's in all arab media mainstreams you can go there and check

01:05:54.480 that records and see how they operate so yes we did achievements and exposing the regime of qatar 0.97

01:06:02.160 but they are trying to undermine us in every single movement they are smart they spending

01:06:08.560 their money to do one thing example in the west in america i was shocked to know a few days ago

01:06:14.800 that they are promoting to some people in america that i am a front for the qatari regime without

01:06:21.600 saying it they pay people to say oh this guy has been created by the qatari regime to go and just

01:06:29.760 pretend there is an opposition of qatar and that's an absolute what they're trying to do

01:06:35.920 is in undermining every single opposition they face they are hacking people they are 0.99

01:06:43.840 they are terrorizing people. Even Kareem Khan's story, you've seen it in the Kareem Khan, the judge in the criminal court.

01:06:56.560 They hacked him. They hacked me. They hacked a lot of their rebels. They have no morals and no ethics. 0.60

01:07:04.380 so Khalid you're preaching to the converted with me I get it entirely these are the same people

01:07:11.960 again who fund terrorism and harbor terrorists so you don't need to convince me that they are evil

01:07:19.400 I believe that wholeheartedly how does it change and talk to me about the people on the ground

01:07:26.280 in Doha. You look at the Iranian regime, over 80% minimum despise that illegal regime. They are not

01:07:35.700 the legitimate leaders of Iran. Is it a similar situation in Qatar? Do the majority of people

01:07:41.540 want there to be democracy? Do they want their leaders harboring terrorists?

01:07:46.820 Let me explain to you the way Qatar operates before we jump into that moment. So Qatar has

01:07:52.620 something called original Qataris and the Qataris, the migrant Qataris who came recently, 0.99

01:07:58.880 like 20, 30 years ago. So Qatar to make balance, to control the country, they replaced the original 0.99

01:08:07.640 people with people from, sorry, with outsiders. And what they've done when the election happened 0.96

01:08:16.920 in qatar the first democratic election 2021 which they promised from 2013. the majority of the seats

01:08:28.600 was from so the whole election was based on the original qataris they excluded the other people

01:08:35.160 so when that happened the majority of the seats gone to the people that opposed the qatari

01:08:41.480 regime and the qatari mentality and what happened after they cancelled the election they cancelled

01:08:48.920 the whole election even in the army of qatar they intentionally mixing foreigners with the locals 0.62

01:08:57.560 because they know for fact that the qatari people the original qatari people they condemn the qatari

01:09:06.120 government action. Wow. That really resonates with me as an Iranian, what he said, where

01:09:15.280 he's saying that the Qatari regime is bringing in non-Qataris and giving them citizenships and

01:09:23.140 making them into Qataris because not enough Qataris support the regime. That's the exact

01:09:29.960 sorry that's the exact same thing that the terrorist islamic republic is doing in iran 0.99

01:09:35.960 because there are not enough iranians who support them and so they have to bring in outsiders um 0.89

01:09:43.480 usually from like afghanistan or pakistan or lebanon or you know other you know even like um

01:09:50.200 you know gaza um syria iraq um even like even nigeria sometimes um they'll bring these foreigners 0.52

01:10:00.120 in and you know they will live in iran and then they work with the islamic republic to monitor 0.86

01:10:07.880 the population keep the population subdued and they will go after um iranians when iranians

01:10:15.000 rise up as well so it's very interesting to see him talking about how this same tactic is also

01:10:24.040 being utilized by the qataris in order to suppress and subdue the qatari population and um i 100 0.57

01:10:35.640 believe him and what he's saying because um we iranians have been experiencing the exact same 0.99

01:10:42.840 thing for the last 47 years since the islamic republic took over in 1979 so that's not far 0.90

01:10:50.760 fetched guys that is 100 um like 100 i believe him because the the islamic republic is doing 0.86

01:10:59.000 the same thing in iran so it seems like these terrorist regimes are all you know using the the

01:11:07.080 same playbook actions they are acting solely like it's an absolute monarchy system so the guy he 0.88

01:11:18.200 decides what's happened he will decide what's coming up next the qatari people are not muslim

01:11:24.440 brotherhood we are not muslim brotherhood we are not islamist we are not extremist it's the regime

01:11:30.760 and their affiliates. That's the problem. So if you talk about legitimacy, let me come back to 0.95

01:11:37.100 you and say my promise to the word, this regime will not stand for long. This regime has an

01:11:43.560 expiry date. They don't know what's coming toward them. They think everything is fine.

01:11:49.880 Renting loyalty and renting influence is temporary. It's for today, tomorrow, and after tomorrow.

01:11:56.980 But things are changing. The world is changing. Money will buy silence for a short period of time.

01:12:06.140 But to stop a terrorist regime like the Qatari regime, you have to go to the source of the issue. 0.62

01:12:14.040 They have an enormous access to money, and that's the problem. 0.69

01:12:19.740 So if you stop that, you stop terrorism in the world,

01:12:24.140 and it should be controlled.

01:12:27.260 What people need to understand, that there is the other side,

01:12:31.140 there is the other voice inside the country.

01:12:33.040 We cannot talk.

01:12:34.420 I am here talking because I am in a different country,

01:12:38.740 and I can say what I want to say.

01:12:40.480 The Qatari regime, they're terrorizing the people. 0.62

01:12:44.400 The former minister of justice in Qatar is banned from traveling from Doha.

01:12:48.960 he cannot say anything most of the people in qatar the reformist they cannot travel outside doha

01:12:56.480 is that a democratic regime is that the regime that the west want to put their hand with

01:13:02.480 they terrorizing people putting them in jail for a poetry one person being jailed for 15 years

01:13:11.680 and now when he left he left the country is that possible that's that's the same thing that happens

01:13:17.600 um in occupied iran guys we have a lot of um actors and poets and writers and journalists

01:13:24.960 um and university students environmentalists who are jailed um for the crime of you know making a

01:13:33.680 movie or writing a poem or saying something on live tv um it is it is very very common amongst

01:13:40.000 these autocratic dictatorships. Khalid, how does it change? You say that change is coming and

01:13:49.080 they don't know it yet. Tell me how it changes. We are making the change. We starting now to make

01:13:57.580 the change. We will make a big difference. Our promise to the nation of Qatar that this regime

01:14:04.040 when collapse will change the main issue they the west is facing now they fear that a new regime

01:14:16.220 that comes to doha might have a conflict with them it's the opposite we are the solution

01:14:24.980 we have no affiliation with extremists or islamists so so so tell me let let me get this

01:14:33.300 from you now you would end every cent were you to somehow form government in qatar to go in and lead

01:14:42.260 under your leadership there would not be a cent going to muslim brotherhood or any islamic

01:14:47.740 extremist group any extreme extremist group at all is that what you promise what i promise to

01:14:54.680 the world i am not acting alone so qatar is a monarchy system we appreciate that and we respect

01:15:02.300 that as Qataris. We have a group from the royal family of Qatar who believe exactly what we say

01:15:08.520 to for the sake of the stability of the nation. We are leading a movement now that lead to the

01:15:15.460 change of what's happening in Qatar. It's the same existing of the U.S. military base in Doha.

01:15:21.200 Nothing will be changed. The only thing will be changed is that there is no more Hamas in Doha.

01:15:25.720 There is no more Muslim Brotherhood. There is no more extremists in Qatar. So our promise to

01:15:32.280 the world that we will be the best solution for the West and our money will be focused on 0.65

01:15:43.000 developing our own people. We are not going to spend our money anymore to support Hamas or to

01:15:49.740 support these terrorist organizations. Our movement is a peaceful movement. We are not terrorists,

01:15:56.080 But we have now changed our plans before we thought that it might be a reform with the Qatari regime and negotiations. 0.99

01:16:05.800 But it's all bullshit. 0.97

01:16:07.880 Sorry to say that because I'm Australian. 1.00

01:16:10.500 You can swear at any time.

01:16:12.500 But I'm not swearing. 1.00

01:16:13.720 But this guy, the king boy of Qatar, is an absolute idiot. 1.00

01:16:20.160 There is no way for a compromise solution with these people. 1.00

01:16:26.080 They want to convince the world that the Muslim Brotherhood is not danger. Hamas is not danger. They are part of the solution, which is complete. 0.62

01:16:38.540 You know what, that's so true. And that's why, you know, you're seeing all these young people who have who have consumed Al Jazeera media and press TV media and other Islamist media. And, you know, these are people who, you know, two years ago, before the October 7 genocidal massacre in Israel, they wouldn't know the difference between Hamas and Hamas. 0.88

01:17:05.840 And now all of a sudden they're going out there and, you know, they're calling Hamas freedom fighters and resistance. And, you know, nothing is further from the truth, right? I mean, these are Islamic terrorists. We all know they're Islamic terrorists. Those of us who are from the Middle East know that they're Islamic terrorists.

01:17:25.700 And yet you have these uneducated young people who have been so indoctrinated by the ideology that Qatar has been pushing out there, whether it's through university institutions, whether it's through academics, whether it's through the Doha Forum, which is happening right now. 0.93

01:17:47.160 right like this doha forum is another way for them to normalize islamic terrorism by giving 0.67

01:17:53.320 it some sort of legitimacy and giving it um you know making it like part of the discourse when

01:18:00.360 it should not it should not and should never be part of the discourse um and yeah like these are 0.95

01:18:06.920 not freedom fighters these are uh islamic terrorists completely wrong it's an up it's 0.95

01:18:14.680 an absolutely mistake is a historic mistake trump we love him i personally like trump 0.98

01:18:21.800 my problem with trump now is that you cannot give them access to your own national security

01:18:32.120 matter they are a threat they are a threat to the national security they have the money

01:18:37.960 to manipulate people they are can you believe that they are buying a news max they are buying some

01:18:43.720 outlets that prove trump they are changing the map they want legitimacy so when they do something

01:18:49.960 in the future and i'm telling you hamas story will not end qatar wants hamas to be there if

01:18:56.840 hamas will go another front will be created similar to hamas libya is the same the same

01:19:03.560 issue happening to libya thanks to god there is someone called hafta who's fighting the muslim 0.57

01:19:09.560 brotherhood fighting islamists and he's doing it every single day qatari regime every single day 0.87

01:19:17.000 funding the opposition the militians the islamists the muslim brotherhood front and that's a danger 0.82

01:19:23.800 look what's happening in canada example khalid gaza's coming from egypt is a terrorist guy 0.80

01:19:30.360 from egypt he went to canada and now he's planning to be an mp yeah we definitely have um a terrorist

01:19:37.880 problem in Canada. And we do have a Muslim Brotherhood problem in Canada. And I was a 0.77

01:19:45.340 Canadian politician for seven years in the Ontario legislature. And when I started calling it out,

01:19:51.260 especially after October 7, I was targeted by the National Council of Canadian Muslims,

01:19:58.520 which has ties to CARE International, or CARE America, CARE International, and CARE International

01:20:05.420 has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. They accused me of Islamophobia for the crime of speaking out

01:20:11.640 against Islamic terrorism. So yeah, Canada is definitely, it's pretty bad here. It's pretty 0.52

01:20:18.880 bad. Canada has become a hotbed for Islamic terrorists. And yeah, I mean, if they can accuse 1.00

01:20:26.580 someone like me, you know, I was born in Iran, and I have a lot of experience with Islamic

01:20:32.560 terrorism. My country is occupied by an Islamic dictatorship. They can accuse me of Islamophobia, 0.61

01:20:41.320 they can accuse anyone of Islamophobia. And unfortunately, Canadian politicians are incredibly

01:20:46.800 spineless. And they would rather cater to the votes and the fundraising than to doing the right

01:20:56.760 thing so i'm glad that he uh brought up canada because we all know canada is pretty much one 1.00

01:21:04.200 of the worst places when it comes to islamic terrorism everyone knows it and you know even 1.00

01:21:09.720 this guy this qatari guy is is pointing it out it's a danger to the west it's dangerous yeah 1.00

01:21:19.400 we did an episode specifically on that and the presence of the muslim brotherhood in canada and 1.00

01:21:23.960 you're absolutely right it's terrifying i want to ask you about oh we should watch that after i 1.00

01:21:29.240 should i should find that episode and we should definitely watch that one because i would i'm

01:21:33.800 always interested to know what other people think about um the muslim brotherhood in canada because

01:21:40.600 it is a very big problem here about you've you've referenced the emir a couple of times his mother

01:21:46.600 Mozart she purports to be a humanitarian almost someone who hosts you know big glamorous events

01:21:55.480 and she is you know she leads big educational institutes and boards and that kind of thing

01:22:00.840 what is her role in all of this and one quick look at her social media feeds and you see that

01:22:06.760 she was posting about Yaya Sinwa about the sadness of his demise and he was for those

01:22:11.720 who aren't aware i'm sure most of you are the architect of october you know seven

01:22:17.240 how how are they pretending to be something they are not

01:22:23.640 sheikha moza she's okay let me first give me some context about who sheikha moza

01:22:30.520 she's the daughter of the leader of qatari opposition in the 60s and then they made a

01:22:37.240 political marriage. And that's where the power become between them and the current Al-Thanis.

01:22:47.080 So, Shaykh Tamim bin Hamid, son of Shaykh Hamza, who came from a good background. She's very well

01:22:57.640 educated, though. She's very well educated. But the issue we have now, the educational system they 0.90

01:23:04.680 create in Doha, the Qatar Foundation, the people she work with, the people they work with, is all 0.85

01:23:11.080 have an Islamist ideology. They are all part of the problem. Sheikh Hamza, she have a big influence 0.96

01:23:19.800 on her own son. So Tamim, when his mom told him that he have to take the power from his dad

01:23:27.000 because she feared that his older brother from another wife could take the power in Qatar,

01:23:34.680 she forced

01:23:37.260 Hamad bin Khalifa and they locked him

01:23:39.360 in the toilet. The same thing he did 0.99

01:23:41.280 to his own dad. He'd been locked to the

01:23:43.280 toilet as well. So he'd been

01:23:45.240 locked in the toilet. He'd been forced

01:23:47.160 to resign and he resigned and gave

01:23:49.280 the power to his own son.

01:23:51.220 Because in that time they had a big conflict

01:23:53.200 with Saudi Arabia as well

01:23:54.500 where they were making some conspiracy

01:23:57.140 about 0.83

01:23:57.700 killing the king of Saudi Arabia

01:24:01.000 and it's been exposed 0.97

01:24:03.000 and that's exactly what they do all their life they call them hbj hbk uh tamim is just a

01:24:10.600 continuously continuation for the previous regime of qatar give me one achievement tamim bin hamad

01:24:18.720 did and since he become to the power i will tell you from 2013 until now 2013 accusation of

01:24:26.080 publicly funding the muslim brotherhood fronts 2014 the conflict with saudi arabia and all the

01:24:32.980 GCC countries. Then he signed

01:24:35.040 the Al-Ula agreement. He sat

01:24:37.100 on the table and signed.

01:24:39.140 Three weeks after that, the

01:24:40.980 opposite happened, and the conflict started

01:24:43.100 again. Another conflict

01:24:44.880 ended in 2021,

01:24:47.020 where another agreement signed.

01:24:49.940 Anything change?

01:24:50.900 No. Hamas is there.

01:24:53.140 Al Jazeera is there.

01:24:54.900 The terrorist fronts are there.

01:24:56.620 They keep funding the opposition

01:24:58.880 in all those countries. 1.00

01:25:00.720 They pretend to be dumb. 0.98

01:25:02.980 Example, very recent example, the prime minister of Qatar was in America, in New York, during the campaign of Mamdani. 1.00

01:25:13.940 He pretended to be dumb. 0.75

01:25:16.600 They asked him in the conference, so you are here just because of the election? 0.97

01:25:22.960 Oh, is it today?

01:25:24.440 I don't know.

01:25:25.420 We are just being sandwiched.

01:25:27.100 We are very good people.

01:25:28.540 We don't know nothing.

01:25:29.140 No, you know exactly what's going on.

01:25:31.520 You know what's happening.

01:25:32.980 You know that you've been funding his mom for many years.

01:25:37.920 Every single Qatari person knows that they've been funded by Qatar.

01:25:44.200 But the way they are funded, it's not publicly known for people to accuse them

01:25:50.280 because they have their own way.

01:25:52.400 They manage the network of influence, how to pay people.

01:25:55.940 So on that, Khalid, I want to ask you, you mentioned people, influence and being paid.

01:26:00.780 there's just been a whole group of american conservative influencers who have gone to

01:26:07.220 qatar who were hosted by qatar who are suddenly posting images on their social media these again

01:26:12.680 are conservative american influencers talking about how amazing it is yeah let me let me bring

01:26:20.080 one up just to show you guys um let me go to x here so that you guys can see what's going on um

01:26:29.120 go to my profile. I'll find one here for you. Like it's the most random thing. It's, it's really the

01:26:45.940 most random thing. Like no one speaks about Qatar. Unless they're like paid by like, if you're not

01:26:52.560 Qatari, you don't speak about Qatar, unless you're paid by Qatar, right? It's just the reality here.

01:27:00.000 where was this let me find it oh i've posted a lot on x in the last few days here we go okay um

01:27:12.640 so like here's this one random guy okay so this he's like an american influencer

01:27:18.320 um his name is rob smith apparently like he's he's um he's gay as well like he's homosexual

01:27:24.640 and um homosexuality is actually banned in qatar okay like it's because because it's governed by 0.86

01:27:31.580 strict islamic sharia law um so homosexuality is banned so i mean homosexuals aren't even safe in 0.60

01:27:38.680 qatar anyway and then you know he just so this is him right and then here he's like on like some

01:27:45.020 random balcony and i don't know it looks like a parking lot behind him or something right like

01:27:51.060 this is uh i mean i don't even know what this is it's it's just like a random park and like a road

01:27:58.100 or something and then he he like posts this you know review like my first trip to qatar has been

01:28:04.020 eye-opening it's a very different middle east than i expected um you know blah blah blah blah

01:28:11.860 like it just goes on this like raving, raving review about Qatar, right? Never talks about

01:28:22.640 the fact that it's an Islamic Sharia state that basically does not provide any, you know,

01:28:29.420 doesn't give any rights to women or homosexuals. Never talk or, you know, non-Muslims never talks 1.00

01:28:36.860 about how Qatar is literally built on slave labor, never talks about how Qatar hosts Islamic terrorist 0.72

01:28:45.600 groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Taliban, you know, al-Shabaab, all these people. And yeah, like he

01:28:53.520 was basically called out for that. You know, no one talks, and I put this out there, I said,

01:28:57.940 no one talks positively about Qatar unless they've been paid by Qatar. Qatar supports Hamas, 0.71

01:29:04.480 funds the muslim brotherhood and contributes to radicalizing western youth through aj plus they 0.99

01:29:10.560 also engage in modern day slavery sex trafficking and murdering lgbtq this is crazy so this one 0.96

01:29:19.360 american influencer and then there's like another one right um this emily saves america um literally

01:29:27.360 as soon as so she went to qatar as well um let me find this i think she was community noted um

01:29:36.720 in yeah here we go so literally so so you can tell it's the exact same balcony um as rob smith

01:29:47.040 except it's just like a different angle right so here you can see like the the the car i don't know

01:29:53.440 like the random blocks or whatever and then there's like a parking lot um behind her and

01:30:00.320 then just like a bunch of random buildings and some grass and then she's like so beautiful can't

01:30:04.160 wait to come back right um and then she was community noted for this this post was written

01:30:09.760 after um taking a paid trip to qatar and agreeing to conditions of the trip which are not public it

01:30:16.240 is entirely entirely possible the wording of this post was dictated in part or wholly by those who

01:30:23.200 sponsored this trip but again like no one just goes to qatar and then posts like a random uh you

01:30:29.840 know random photo there um of like a parking lot and they're like oh it's so beautiful i can't wait

01:30:35.600 to come back right um it's just the most the most ridiculous thing and then literally literally like

01:30:42.000 right on cue like one day later she started attacking um uh you know people who are anti uh 0.94

01:30:49.600 anti well she started attacking people who are calling out anti-semites and jew haters and she's

01:30:55.120 like this is just so embarrassing to post no wonder people are so over this and then of course like

01:31:00.000 you know she's being um called out so even i was like you know she should change her name

01:31:06.800 to emily saves qatar instead of emily saves america um but qatar is is not your friend

01:31:14.160 or ally um qatar is not at all um your friend and so the fact that uh this this gentleman here the

01:31:25.520 qatari opposition right he's going to speak out about this now so um you know when aaron's speaking

01:31:31.280 about those um influencers who recently traveled to qatar that's who she's referring to like all

01:31:39.600 these influencers who went um and they did not call out the fact that qatar funds islamic terrorism

01:31:48.960 they didn't call out the fact that um qatar is basically built on slave labor um they didn't 0.53

01:31:56.480 call out the fact that women minorities religious minorities and homosexuals have no rights in qatar

01:32:04.480 um they didn't call out any of that it's just these like glowing glowing reviews of qatar which 0.54

01:32:10.320 makes no sense because qatar literally has nothing like there there's nothing in qatar

01:32:15.840 to go and and visit you know like at least if you go to um like the uae um you know the uae

01:32:24.560 at least they've built up the cities and you know you have like nice buildings and different things

01:32:28.480 like that but qatar has literally nothing um anyway so now let's continue so now you know

01:32:34.080 what aaron um aaron milan here is is referring to when she's talking about

01:32:39.120 the conservative influencers who recently went to qatar how to pay people i mean so so on that

01:32:46.800 on that kalid i want to ask you you mentioned people influence and being paid there's just

01:32:51.040 been a whole group of american conservative influencers who have gone to qatar who were

01:32:57.920 hosted by qatar who are suddenly posting images on their social media these again are conservative

01:33:03.040 american influencers talking about how amazing it is listen i've seen some videos even some people

01:33:11.200 say oh there is a nightclub there oh there is a party there i mean what what do they go and do

01:33:16.800 a tour oh this is where the qatari leaders celebrated when children were slaughtered on

01:33:21.040 october 7 is that is that part of this influence tour i agree with you this is the exact word

01:33:27.040 that they should understand

01:33:29.560 what they're doing now,

01:33:31.300 what I said,

01:33:32.000 is a rented,

01:33:33.100 rented loyalty

01:33:34.080 for a period of time.

01:33:36.140 They will realize later

01:33:37.280 they are not changing. 0.75

01:33:38.740 The Qatar regime is not changing.

01:33:40.020 They will never change. 1.00

01:33:41.080 They don't know

01:33:41.720 what's coming their way,

01:33:42.740 I'm telling you.

01:33:43.640 So I'm warning

01:33:44.700 every single person

01:33:46.340 taking money from Qatar,

01:33:48.560 shaking their hands

01:33:49.440 with the regime of Qatar,

01:33:50.340 in the near future,

01:33:53.140 you are going to face a problem.

01:33:55.500 Remember what happened to Gaddafi regime and every single regime or influencer received money from them.

01:34:02.680 The same thing will happen in Qatar. 0.52

01:34:05.220 That's the exact thing will going to happen.

01:34:07.220 Be careful because what's coming next is not for anyone to either deny or can stop because it's coming within within.

01:34:18.780 And Americans will never stop such movement for one reason.

01:34:23.640 Americans, they signed to protect Qatar, not the regime of Qatar, not Tamim bin Hamad.

01:34:31.480 Tamim has a short expiry date and it will be gone very soon.

01:34:36.100 They don't know anything.

01:34:37.100 So I'm warning you not to put your hand with them, not to promote them.

01:34:42.020 If you are in Doha now, you want to promote something, you want to show that you are decent, fine. 0.94

01:34:47.920 Go, Osama Bin Laden's son lives in Qatar. 0.55

01:34:51.120 Go show Osama Bin Laden's son. 0.70

01:34:53.080 show hamas leaders who live in qatar show the muslim brother whose leaders who live in qatar 0.96

01:34:57.720 how they live in a very lavish lifestyle go there and shoot the pictures with them

01:35:04.200 that's what you need to do talk to me about someone like tucker carlson who has who seems

01:35:09.880 to have changed his tune entirely when it comes to qatar and look i i and tucker is in doha right now

01:35:18.920 um having fun qatar with islamic terrorists don't know what his arrangements are i haven't seen any

01:35:27.400 evidence of anything and but but there has been a significant change of tune from him when it

01:35:32.120 comes to his narrative and his his coverage of qatar um there is an investigation is going on

01:35:42.280 now by Khaled El-Helal Institute. And there is, I can't say much about it, but I've been

01:35:49.840 investigating this matter for a very long time. And it was a bit of a strange thing for me

01:35:56.940 and for many others. But when you start linking things together and the way he shifted and the

01:36:06.060 timeline, you will understand that Qatar has a big hand on it.

01:36:13.280 And I definitely, I'm very certain without the core evidence, let's say,

01:36:20.060 but I'm certain.

01:36:20.720 And we make that very clear, absolutely, yes.

01:36:23.080 Yes, but I am certainly sure that they have a hand somehow on that.

01:36:29.840 Because if there were no financial benefit for Tucker Carlson, there wouldn't be a big shift like you saw now.

01:36:39.900 So the issue is, he is not only pro-Trump, but he was on the right camp.

01:36:49.800 Qatar recently shifted a lot of people from the right camp to their own camp.

01:36:55.440 and in the near future we will see what exactly they've been doing and i'm sure some i can't say

01:37:06.340 much but there is certain things is happening that it will be revealed soon to the world i'm

01:37:11.700 very sure about that i look forward to all of that coming out that's really interesting um given that

01:37:18.820 this is the guy who leaked the secret conversation between qaddafi and qatar about how they were

01:37:24.940 conspiring to overthrow the Saudi royal family. I kind of

01:37:31.960 believe him. I believe him I do feel like he's got something in

01:37:38.120 the works. And maybe part of the reason that he is now doing his

01:37:45.460 first interview in English is because maybe he's almost ready

01:37:50.700 to to put this information out there right um i mean he's he's i mean this is the first time

01:37:58.700 i've heard of him and you know the first english interview he's done but uh you know we've been

01:38:03.740 fact checking and um the fact that he's the one who leaked that secret audio um between qaddafi

01:38:12.060 and Katar makes me think that maybe he's got a few things up his sleeve. So yeah, I'd be very 0.96

01:38:22.660 interested to see what he comes up with and what he says in the future. So we need to be monitoring

01:38:33.920 this person. I'm going to see if he has like social media accounts, like an X or X account or

01:38:39.380 something um i should try to give him a follow we've got to wrap up but i want to ask you 0.92

01:38:46.120 is there a target on your head does the qatari regime want to get rid of you entirely

01:38:52.520 definitely they are defamating my character for many years and they've been attacking me

01:38:59.060 in different ways uh in the arab media they say he's a pro-israel puppet he's a propaganda

01:39:06.940 machine for israel oh my gosh that's exactly what i get called all the time um so it's good to know

01:39:15.740 that um it's good to know that the accusations are the same everywhere and uh they really need 0.86

01:39:23.500 to come up with new material like these these um islamists and these jihadis um they really

01:39:29.100 need to come up with new material because when they start accusing all of us of being pro-israeli 0.82

01:39:33.420 zionists and zio puppets or whatever it's just like at this point whenever someone accuses me of 0.96

01:39:39.780 that um i'm just like all right whatever let's move on like you clearly have no brain cells

01:39:44.720 for example in the qatari within qatari people oh he this guy's a puppet for saudi arabia or the uae 0.63

01:39:52.940 and the west in america they they pay people to say oh they are part of our regime but say it

01:40:00.740 indirectly so to undermine him and to make people to fear to deal with them so this is the way they

01:40:06.980 do but we know all these tactics is old story is nothing in you we would fight it this is my first

01:40:13.080 english interview and i'm sure from now is a new start for us is a new start for me we are the

01:40:20.620 future not them and i'm very confident about that we are the future we are the modern state we are

01:40:27.320 the people of our own nation. We love our country. It's not an absolute monarchy system.

01:40:34.020 It's a constitutional monarchy system that will run the country. It's not Tamim himself anymore.

01:40:39.860 It's not Hamas leader. It's not the people who support the Islamist ideology. No, it's the people

01:40:46.500 of the country. It's the national interest of the country. It's our world. It's us. It's we

01:40:52.380 as Qatari nationals.

01:40:54.940 Khalid, as someone who believes in the complete opposite

01:40:58.180 of what that regime currently promotes, 0.99

01:44:06.500 against qatar and exposing the qatari regime for what it truly is um i also found another

01:44:20.180 documentary that I wanted to share with you guys here. Let me just pull it up. So

01:44:26.860 here we go. So this was from a month ago. I haven't seen this one. I'm not familiar with

01:44:36.080 the channel, but here, let's read what it says. So Israeli jets strike Doha, Qatar's capital and

01:44:43.740 Hamas Haven, igniting global outrage. Explore how this gas-rich ally funds, shelters, and mediates 0.96

01:44:53.440 terror groups, redefining power, diplomacy, and moral compromise in the modern Middle East. Okay, 0.58

01:45:00.400 this looks like it would be pretty interesting to watch. Why is my playback speed 1.5?

01:45:08.280 want to be one. All right. Okay. So let's watch this because this looks like it would be

01:45:16.860 a pretty good primer on Qatar as well for people who are not familiar with Qatar. And I hope that

01:45:25.020 now having watched that interview between Aaron Milan here, I'll share it again. So

01:45:32.300 this was the video we were just watching. So it was an interview with Aaron Milan

01:45:36.540 and the Qatari opposition leader, his name is Khaled al-Hail, he pretty much confirmed

01:45:44.720 what the rest of us have been saying from the beginning with respect to Qatar being

01:45:50.520 a terrorist state, Qatar being an enemy of the United States and the West, Qatar funding 0.50

01:45:57.180 Islamic terrorism, Qatar being basically the Airbnb for terrorist groups, Qatar paying for

01:46:06.260 conservative influencers or influencers of all stripes to basically go to Qatar and

01:46:12.680 promote Qatar. So this gentleman who is the leader of the Qatari opposition pretty much confirmed

01:46:19.880 everything that the rest of us have been saying. So if you want to go and watch that interview,

01:46:25.240 it is on Aaron Mulan's channel there. But let's go to this documentary because I feel like this

01:46:32.160 This is also going to be a pretty good one in terms of explaining the real threat that Qatar poses to Western countries and Western civilization. 1.00

01:47:02.160 Thank you. 0.98

01:47:32.160 that's a very good point um when the united states went after osama bin laden osama bin

01:47:47.680 laden was hiding in pakistan what there's no sound can you guys hear me

01:48:02.160 Uh-oh. What happened here?

01:48:18.800 You can't hear me? Oh, you know why? Okay, guys, totally, totally my fault. I forgot to switch.

01:48:27.700 i forgot to switch the tab there we go okay so you guys were still seeing you guys were still

01:48:34.580 seeing the old video sorry for sorry for that my bad my bad okay i'm gonna replay this from

01:48:43.780 the beginning so you guys are probably like wondering why i was just like staring at my screen

01:48:48.520 um yeah i know i i forgot to switch the tab okay all right but thanks for letting me know

01:48:54.680 okay so we're gonna watch this from from the beginning now and then i'll pause

01:48:59.260 where he said that interesting thing and then i will i will repeat that hi everyone

01:49:04.680 on september the 9th 2025 israeli jets screamed over the persian gulf to do something unprecedented

01:49:11.820 they bombed downtown doha the capital city of a u.s ally that hosts america's largest military

01:49:18.440 base in the middle east this wasn't a strike on some remote compound or military installation

01:49:22.560 in the desert. The target was mass leadership, sitting comfortably in the offices Qatar had 0.88

01:49:27.320 provided them for over a decade. Six people died in the attack, including a Qatari security guard

01:49:32.400 who had the misfortune of being on duty at the wrong time in the wrong place. Within hours,

01:49:36.620 the UN Security Council condemned the attack. The United States, a longtime ally of the Tiny

01:49:41.140 Gulf monarchy, called the strikes counterproductive. The European Union worried about

01:49:45.680 regional escalation. The world rallied to defend Qatar's sovereignty, even though everyone knew

01:49:50.800 who was in those offices that's qatar's achievement they've made hosting terrorists so essential to 0.80

01:49:56.800 international diplomacy that bombing those terrorists becomes a crime okay so that's the

01:50:02.800 point that he made that i find very fascinating and also very accurate because that's exactly

01:50:10.000 what qatar has done um when united states went after osama bin laden osama bin laden was hiding

01:50:18.880 uh in in pakistan um when the united states exterminated osama bin laden um people were happy

01:50:27.520 and people were thankful and no one condemned the united states for uh for going after

01:50:35.520 um al-qaeda terrorists uh even though they were hiding in pakistan and so why the double standard

01:50:42.640 now when Israel went after Hamas terrorists in Qatar, everyone was condemning Israel for the

01:50:51.300 exact same thing that the United States did when they went after terrorists in Pakistan. And so

01:50:58.860 that double standard, guys, that double standard should really make you pause and take a step back

01:51:06.420 and go okay why the difference here um why the double standard and that exactly what he said

01:51:12.640 100 accurate that is um that is qatar's greatest achievement is that they have now somehow um

01:51:21.060 convinced the west that um for them to harbor islamic terrorists is part of international

01:51:29.840 diplomacy, even though it shouldn't be, right? So I just wanted to point, like, I agree with that 0.99

01:51:36.740 100%. The Permanent Houseguests. So understanding how Qatar became terrorism's five-star hotel

01:51:45.120 requires looking at who exactly they're hosting and why nobody seems able to make them stop.

01:51:51.300 Qatar's relationship with controversial groups, not exactly a secret. They've practically turned

01:51:56.400 dealing with such organizations into an enterprise it's conducted in glass office towers in downtown

01:52:02.080 doha in luxury compounds with security provided by the state in five-star hotels where peace

01:52:08.000 negotiations drag on for years hamas provides the clearest example of how qatar operates their

01:52:14.000 relationship reflected their broader strategy of maintaining ties with everyone while committing

01:52:19.120 to no one they hosted an israeli trade office through 2009 one of the few gulf states to do so

01:52:24.720 then closed it during the gaza war that same year pivoting towards hamas just as the other

01:52:29.360 arab states were moving away this could be seen as fence sitting but more realistically should

01:52:34.560 be seen as strategic positioning qatar saw opportunity where others saw liability former

01:52:40.320 emir hamad bin khalifa al-thani was famously close with muslim brotherhood figures across the region

01:52:46.480 and hamas as the palestinian branch of the brotherhood fit perfectly into qatar's vision

01:52:51.280 of political did you catch that so hamas is the palestinian branch of the muslim brotherhood

01:52:58.960 the same way that other military groups are branches of the muslim brotherhood in various

01:53:06.400 countries so for example in sudan you have the saf the saf is the sudanese branch of the muslim

01:53:17.680 Brotherhood as well. And they're currently engaging in, you know, genocide against Sudanese

01:53:23.800 Christians as well. But yeah, Hamas is basically the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:53:30.520 Political Islam as the future of Arab governance. For over a decade... 0.92

01:53:34.220 Let me go back a little bit here.

01:53:36.280 Muslim Brotherhood figures across the region and Hamas as the Palestinian branch of the

01:53:40.700 Brotherhood fit perfectly into Qatar's vision of political Islam as the future of Arab governance.

01:53:46.140 For over a decade, Hamas's political leadership had operated from Damascus, with Syria providing

01:53:51.520 sanctuary to key figures like Khaled Mishal since the 90s.

01:53:55.440 This relationship became strained after the Syrian civil war erupted in 2011 and fell apart

01:53:59.820 completely after Assad made clear that Hamas was to support his regime's crackdown on

01:54:05.240 the opposition, an impossible ask for the Sunni Islamist movement. 0.85

01:54:08.740 Rather than scattering to hiding places across the Middle East, though, they had the fortune 0.56

01:54:12.320 of relocating to Qatar at Doha's invitation.

01:54:16.140 Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh accepted the invite eagerly, setting up operations that weren't rough

01:54:21.980 underground safehouses but elaborate homes and offices with the infrastructure to run a government

01:54:26.220 in exile that controls Gaza. The arrangement was conducted entirely in the open, with Hamas leaders

01:54:31.660 giving press conferences from their Doha offices and meeting foreign diplomats in five-star hotels.

01:54:37.020 The numbers tell the story of Qatar's commitment. Since Hamas arrived in Doha, 0.77

01:54:40.940 Qatar has provided an estimated $1.8 billion in support to Gaza. Officially,

01:54:45.660 this is humanitarian aid salaries for civil servants fuel for hospitals and reconstruction

01:54:50.380 after the conflict but critics point out that there's little meaningful distinction between

01:54:54.220 supporting gaza's government and supporting hamas itself as they've integrated so thoroughly the

01:55:00.060 money might go to hospitals but that also freed up hamas's own resources for tunnels and rockets

01:55:06.300 now the mechanics of this varied over the years sometimes consisting of literal suitcases of cash

01:55:11.500 Back in 2018, Qatari envoys were caught on camera carrying millions in physical currency

01:55:16.520 into Gaza.

01:55:17.520 By 2021, the annual support had reached $360 million. 0.61

01:55:23.100 Doha's envoy was blunt, quote, you have to support them, they control the country. 0.70

01:55:28.460 For years, this arrangement allowed Hamas to operate with relative impunity while abroad, 0.83

01:55:33.980 planning operations while Qatar's financial support kept Gaza functioning. 0.70

01:55:38.240 house guests who've overstayed their welcome but know where you keep the spare key, Hamas have

01:55:42.660 made themselves impossible to evict. The October 2023 attacks that killed 1,200 Israelis were 0.70

01:55:48.400 coordinated by leadership operating partly from those very officers in Doha, though the extent

01:55:54.220 of planning that occurred there versus in Gaza remains disputed. And that's where it gets truly

01:55:59.340 surreal. After the attacks, when the world needed someone... Yeah, I just want to point out, no one

01:56:04.060 No one ever really talks enough about the fact that Hamas leaders were literally in Qatar while the genocidal massacre of October 7 was happening, and that many of them organized it while they were in Qatar. 0.81

01:56:23.540 If they wanted to negotiate hostage releases, they turned to the country that was hosting 0.57

01:56:28.460 the very leaders who orchestrated the massacre. 0.95

01:56:31.140 Qatar's hosting of Hamas leadership made them indispensable to any diplomatic solution 0.60

01:56:35.700 after October 7th, working alongside Egypt as the primary channels for negotiation, though

01:56:41.120 only Qatar could offer direct access to the decision makers in Doha.

01:56:45.620 Hamas wasn't Qatar's most controversial tenant, not even close.

01:56:49.160 hosting the group that attacks israel seemed audacious even for regional standards where

01:56:54.480 sympathies to the palestinian resistance run deep they also host one of the united states's longest

01:56:59.600 running military adversaries at washington's own request the arrangement began in 2013 when the

01:57:05.300 obama administration made a request that would have seemed insane a decade earlier would qatar

01:57:10.920 host an official taliban political office keep in mind that this was during the heights of the war

01:57:17.120 Afghanistan, asking an official US ally to give the Taliban, the same group that harbored al-Qaeda

01:57:23.620 before 9-11, their first official representation since the 2001 invasion. Qatar's acceptance led to

01:57:30.740 an immediate diplomatic incident when the Taliban raised their flag in Doha, infuriating then-Afghan

01:57:36.100 President Hamid Qazai, who briefly withdrew from negotiations entirely in protest. Yet the office

01:57:42.000 stayed open, and for seven years American diplomats found themselves meeting Taliban

01:57:46.500 representatives in doha's hotels and compounds in various efforts to wind down or end america's

01:57:51.700 longest war it was a bipartisan effort too despite being initially set up under the obama administration

01:57:57.460 secretary of state mike pompeo's september 2020 photographed with taliban negotiator mullah

01:58:02.420 abdulghani baradar in doha can can we just pause for a moment i don't understand how any person

01:58:13.060 could look at this dude here, right? And think that this is like a normal functioning human

01:58:24.740 being. I mean, at some point, Westerners need to realize that not everything is multiculturalism

01:58:33.660 and diversity, right? Like if someone is, you know, looking and dressing and acting

01:58:41.780 um like a terrorist they probably are right i mean what sort of world leader looks like um

01:58:50.160 i don't know what sort of world leader looks like he lives in a hut and doesn't have running water 0.63

01:58:59.260 i mean come on like white people white people i'm saying this with all like politeness like

01:59:06.440 come on like not not everything is multiculturalism and diversity right i mean there's there's you

01:59:13.800 know giving the benefit of the doubt sure but i mean come on like this is just this is just

01:59:20.360 ridiculous right like the guy can't even put on um like a properly fitting outfit right i mean it's

01:59:32.200 I don't even know what to say here. And there are so many traditional clothes. It doesn't 0.70

01:59:41.600 necessarily have to be a suit and tie. I mean, when you look at the Arab leaders from the Middle

01:59:49.880 East, they're not wearing suits. They're wearing their long robes and they're wearing their

01:59:56.800 um their traditional uh you know the traditional cloth and everything but the quality is good

02:00:04.720 right it's it's well fitting and it suits them right like this guy just i don't know he just

02:00:13.440 looks like he looks like he hasn't showered in two or three years right i mean come on guys like

02:00:24.800 jeez it's ridiculous gave the insurgents a diplomatic victory they'd craved let's

02:00:32.960 let's go back a little bit here that guy's like for administrations that guy's outfit

02:00:37.520 just distracted me secretary of state mike pompeo september 2020 photograph with taliban negotiator

02:00:43.120 mullah abdul ghani oh okay so so this is what the taliban negotiator looks like okay

02:00:54.080 the taliban negotiator all right i mean no words at this point no words

02:01:00.640 baradar in doha gave the insurgents a diplomatic victory they'd craved for two decades everything

02:01:10.580 about the u.s withdrawal from afghanistan ran through doha the original february 2020 agreement

02:01:16.460 was signed see like like these guys okay their outfits right their outfits are nice you know

02:01:24.120 well tailored well fitting you know there and mullah barada went straight from his qatari

02:01:32.440 guest house to the presidential palace itself when kabul fell in 2021 rather than distancing

02:01:37.980 itself from the victorious insurgent group qatar leaned into this role as the new government in

02:01:43.500 afghanistan's gateway to the oh someone says uh the islamic republic looks like him 200 percent of 0.81

02:01:50.040 course yeah the islamic republic they dress they dress like backwards inbred goat herders as well 0.98

02:01:56.380 that you know we we hate the islamic republic they come from like a seventh century mentality and 1.00

02:02:00.880 ideology and yeah unfortunately they they they dress like shit and you know they look like 1.00

02:02:08.240 terrorists because they are terrorists and they're occupying our country right now um it's really 1.00

02:02:12.800 unfortunate. Before 1979, Iranian leaders were very, very well-dressed. Iranian politicians 1.00

02:02:19.160 were very well-dressed. Our Shah at the time was, of course, very, very well-dressed, the most

02:02:24.680 well-dressed man. But we're currently occupied by a bunch of inbred Islamic terrorists who 1.00

02:02:32.300 dress like they belong in the 7th century. To the world, becoming a transit point for 1.00

02:02:40.020 evacuees and now hosting the relocated U.S. diplomatic mission. The fact that no member

02:02:44.860 of the international community recognized the Taliban's government until this year

02:02:48.520 only compounded the necessity for such a role. The world is forced to conduct all diplomatic

02:02:53.940 business through Doha whenever Afghanistan needs attention. So Qatar had the guest list from hell. 1.00

02:03:00.460 What really made them indispensable wasn't just who they hosted, it was their willingness to foot 0.96

02:03:05.220 the bill the indispensable mediator the maddening genius of qatar strategy reveals itself through a

02:03:11.700 fundamental paradox while some western politicians and commentators criticize them for sheltering

02:03:16.660 hamas their governments simultaneously depend on qatar to negotiate with the group the hamas

02:03:21.460 political bureau that operates from qatari provided officers doubles as both a planning

02:03:27.060 center for palestinian resistance and the primary address for ceasefire negotiations

02:03:32.020 It's diplomatic flexibility that, shall we say, other regional powers either can't or won't match.

02:03:37.700 But whatever you call it, it has yielded real results.

02:03:41.140 This capability extends well beyond just Gaza.

02:03:44.260 In 2008, Lebanon was teetering on the edge of a civil war.

02:03:47.620 Hezbollah had shut down Beirut's airport in a stunning act of insurgency

02:03:51.460 that demonstrated just how fragile the country's government's grasp on power really was. 0.80

02:03:56.100 The Saudis wouldn't negotiate with Hezbollah. 0.52

02:03:58.180 The group's deep Shia ties and connections made them deeply suspicious of one another,

02:04:02.260 a sentiment shared throughout many of the Sunni-dominated Gulf monarchies.

02:04:06.100 But Qatar? They invited everyone to Doha, Hezbollah included,

02:04:10.100 and hammered out the Doha agreement that pulled Lebanon back from the brink.

02:04:13.780 Where ideology prevented others from even sitting at the table,

02:04:16.900 Qatar's transactional approach got results.

02:04:19.940 This approach became absolutely crucial to international geopolitics in the wake of the

02:04:24.020 October 7, 2023 attack. The Hamas leadership that had coordinated the killing of 1,200 Israelis

02:04:30.500 operated at least part from those same Doha officers, which had far greater access to

02:04:34.980 international embassy and negotiations than they did in Gaza City. With the international community

02:04:39.460 scrambling to negotiate hostage releases, such diplomatic proximity proved invaluable. American

02:04:44.580 intelligence officials became fixtures in Doha's hotels, with Mossad, State Department, and CIA

02:04:50.020 officials making repeated trips to coordinate negotiations. American officials found themselves

02:04:54.660 publicly thanking Qatar for its vital role in securing captives' freedom. The relationship

02:04:59.860 between Qatar and Hamas hasn't been without friction. By early 2024, Qatar reportedly grew

02:05:04.740 frustrated with Hamas' intransience on hostage releases, with reports emerging that they threatened

02:05:10.260 to expel the leadership if Hamas didn't show flexibility, though seasoned observers noted

02:05:14.740 both sides likely understood these threats as negotiating leverage rather than genuine ultimatums.

02:05:20.020 The dances continued through 2025. Hamas stayed, negotiations proceeded, and even after Israel's 0.63

02:05:26.420 unprecedented September airstrikes that killed six people, including a Qatari security guard,

02:05:30.980 the Egyptian Qatari mediation channel remained the primary diplomatic track.

02:05:35.540 The strikes revealed the paradox. Israel was willing to bomb Qatar's capital to target Hamas

02:05:40.180 leaders, yet still needed Qatar's officers to negotiate with those very same leaders.

02:05:45.780 the taliban arrangement demonstrated similar diplomatic utility for seven years before

02:05:50.740 america's withdrawal from afghanistan u.s diplomats met taliban representatives in

02:05:55.460 doha's conference rooms searching for a negotiated end to america's longest war

02:06:00.100 the february 2020 agreement that set the withdrawal in motion was signed in doha

02:06:04.900 and when kabul fell in august 2021 qatar played a vital role in coordinating the evacuation of 124

02:06:11.780 thousand people with nearly half passing through doha's airports the u.s then relocated its afghan

02:06:17.300 diplomatic mission to qatar making doha the gateway for any dealings with taliban-controlled

02:06:22.180 afghanistan a role that no other regional power could or would play from yeah because no other

02:06:28.580 regional power wants to deal with the taliban because the taliban is a terrorist organization

02:06:35.460 so yeah literally no other middle eastern country wants to deal with the taliban only qatar and

02:06:43.840 that's because qatar funds them qatar's perspective they've created a unique diplomatic niche serving

02:06:49.780 as the indispensable intermediary for conflicts involving non-state actors that other nations

02:06:54.420 won't recognize critics argue this amounts to legitimizing and protecting terrorists while

02:06:59.380 supporters counter that someone needs to maintain these channels that no no one needs to maintain

02:07:05.300 channels with islamic terrorists who want to blow up your societies and take over this is basically

02:07:14.580 just qatar legitimizing islamic terrorists and qatar normalizing negotiating with islamic 0.98

02:07:23.740 terrorists even though the rest of us know that you cannot negotiate with islamic terrorists 0.96

02:07:29.380 whatsoever. Purely military solutions rarely work and negotiator settlements require talking 1.00

02:07:35.680 all parties however unsavory. The international community's continued reliance on Qatari mediation

02:07:40.740 even while criticizing their methods suggests that pragmatism often trumps principle in the

02:07:47.220 messy reality of conflict resolution. Checkbook diplomacy. So if hosting controversial groups

02:07:55.140 made Qatar useful, its willingness to pay for their operations made it indispensable. The Muslim 1.00

02:08:00.640 Brotherhood represented Qatar's biggest financial bet on regional transformation. Unlike housing 0.99

02:08:06.480 Hamas or the Taliban in Doha offices, this was about backing an entire transnational movement

02:08:12.040 that Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE considered an existential threat to their monarchies.

02:08:17.540 Yusuf al-Kwardari, the Brotherhood's spiritual leader, has been broadcasting his weekly sermons

02:08:22.860 from Qatar for decades throughout Jazeera. The network, which revolutionized Arab media when

02:08:27.820 it launched in 1996 with controversial debates, had long given Islamists prominent platforms

02:08:34.220 alongside its more independent journalism. During the Arab Spring, this existing tendency shifted

02:08:39.980 into overdrive. The network began to function increasingly as the movement's mouthpiece.

02:08:43.900 Speaking of the Arab Spring, when it emerged in 2011, Qatar saw its charts as Brotherhood

02:08:48.540 affiliated parties won elections in egypt and tunisia and gained influence in libya and syria

02:08:54.140 qatar opened its checkbook their immediate pledge of eight billion dollars when mohammed morsi and

02:08:59.660 the brotherhood took power in egypt represented a massive bet on islamist governance that their

02:09:05.820 neighbors watched with horror after general abdel fatah al-sisi overthrew morsi a year later the

02:09:11.740 contrast could not have been starker saudi arabia and the uae celebrated while qatar condemned the

02:09:17.420 coup and continued sheltering brotherhood leaders providing not just asylum but active financial

02:09:22.620 and political support the growing tension with their gulf neighbors over this support would

02:09:27.180 eventually explode into the most serious regional crisis in decades but qatar on the whole remained

02:09:33.660 committed to the brotherhood the pattern of financial support extended far beyond the

02:09:37.660 brotherhood the u.s treasury's 2014 assessment wasn't diplomatic qatar operated a quote permissive

02:09:44.220 terrorist financing environment this wasn't about state policy though that was questionable enough

02:09:49.500 but about a system where private donors could openly fundraise for jihadists while authorities

02:09:54.780 just looked the other way the syrian civil war became the proving ground for this permissive

02:09:59.260 approach what started to support the legitimate opposition groups morphed into something darker

02:10:03.820 with wealthy qataris holding public fundraising yeah i agree with um someone in the comments um 0.75

02:10:11.180 everything they accuse the west of doing they have always done 100 everything that qatar accuses

02:10:17.980 united states or israel of doing is something that qatar itself has been doing for a very

02:10:25.100 very long time and the reason that they put the accusations out there is because they want to

02:10:31.660 flip the narrative before they themselves are exposed and so yes 100 um everything that they

02:10:39.180 accused the united states of israel of doing is something that qatar itself has been doing

02:10:44.620 and continues to do raising events for syrian rebels including groups affiliated with al-qaeda's

02:10:51.260 nusra front they weren't hiding they used social media operated through qatar's banking system

02:10:56.940 and treated funding jihadists as a charitable cause worthy of public celebration one prominent

02:11:02.940 fundraiser, Abdul Rahman al-Nuemi was designated by the U.S. Treasury for financially supporting

02:11:08.720 al-Qaeda, yet continued operating from Qatar for years. When pressed about why such individuals

02:11:14.120 could operate so openly, Qatari officials would claim they couldn't control private citizens,

02:11:19.780 even as they efficiently shut down any domestic dissent. The mechanisms for moving money varied,

02:11:24.780 but followed recognizable patterns that authorities seemed curiously unable to stop.

02:11:29.640 Hawala networks, those informal money transfer systems that leave no paper trail, operated alongside charitable organizations that expertly mixed legitimate humanitarian work with militant funding, while wealthy individuals would write checks at fundraising dinners where speakers openly praised jihadist groups.

02:11:46.840 The Qatari government would occasionally make token arrests or announce new regulations that looked good on paper, but enforcement did remain conspicuously absent.

02:11:55.480 The ransom economy reveals Qatar's approach even more starkly.

02:12:00.380 In 2014, when 45 UN peacekeepers were kidnapped by Nusra Front in Syrian-controlled areas of the Golan Heights, 0.80

02:12:07.020 their solution was straightforward.

02:12:08.420 Pay $25 million to al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate.

02:12:11.720 While Doha has publicly rejected this assertion, numerous outlets have documented the payment.

02:12:17.760 Video footage actually exists of the purported Qatari funds being transferred to the militants.

02:12:23.040 The peacekeepers were released, all 45 of them, and Qatar received international gratitude for securing their freedom.

02:12:29.300 Critics pointed out that Doha had just handed al-Qaeda significant operating funds and created dangerous incentives for more kidnappings.

02:12:36.720 Qatar's defenders argued that other nations' refusal to negotiate had left the hostages languishing for weeks with no solution in sight.

02:12:44.320 Whether those 45 lives justified enriching al-Qaeda by $25 million, that depends on who you ask.

02:12:50.220 What undeniable is the Qatar's approach, however controversial, delivered results where

02:12:55.660 others' principles had delivered only deadlock.

02:12:58.660 The peacekeepers were only the beginning of what became a relatively established framework.

02:13:03.580 Western journalists, aid workers, and religious pilgrims held by Syrian jihadist factions

02:13:08.640 found themselves repeatedly freed through Qatari-brokered deals that reportedly involved

02:13:13.280 large cash payments.

02:13:14.760 The monarchy developed a reputation as the go-to mediator for hostage situations, but

02:13:19.080 also as the country most willing to pay as the years dragged on qatar's reputation began to

02:13:23.800 entangle it in some rather unfortunate situations an incident in 2017 revealed just how tangled

02:13:29.720 qatar's payments have become 26 qatari royals including members of the ruling family had gone

02:13:35.000 falcon hunting in southern iraq something of a tradition among gulf elite and there they were

02:13:39.800 kidnapped by qatar eb hezbollah an iranian-backed shia militia the hostage crisis dragged on for

02:13:45.560 16 months and when it finally ended the details that emerged were almost too absurd to believe

02:13:50.520 the reported ransom reached up to a billion dollars but here's where it gets truly bizarre 0.51

02:13:55.960 qatar didn't just pay the kidnappers to get their royals back they had to pay both the iraqi shia

02:14:01.240 militias who held them and syrian sunni rebel groups who had nothing to do with kidnapping

02:14:07.560 the reason was pure extortion at scale iran and its proxies had linked the royal hostage release

02:14:13.800 to a completely separate deal in syria the evacuation of four besieged towns two shia

02:14:19.400 towns needed safe passage as did two sunni towns the syrian rebels controlling the sunni areas

02:14:24.520 demanded payment to allow the evacuations while the iranian-backed groups holding the qatari royals

02:14:29.320 demanded payment to release them everyone saw qatar's desperation as an opportunity to cash in

02:14:35.000 and they had no choice but to pay everyone iranian proxies syrian rebels even groups actively 0.80

02:14:41.640 killing each other just to get their people back the cash component was stunningly literal qatar

02:14:47.720 reportedly flew in suitcases of money with iraqi authorities briefly seizing around 500 million

02:14:53.560 dollars at baghdad airport underscoring just how physical these transactions were it was the

02:14:58.920 ultimate culmination of taking qatar's philosophy to its logical conclusion when in doubt pay it

02:15:05.880 didn't matter that these groups were sworn enemies fighting a sectarian war for the right price

02:15:11.160 qatar would fund all sides simultaneously this wasn't ideological alignment qatar is sunni-led

02:15:17.720 and doesn't subscribe to iran's revolutionary shism but they'd pay sheer militias just as

02:15:23.240 readily as sunni jihadists if it served their purposes after the guys that's a really important

02:15:28.520 point what he said there uh because a lot of you know nominally sterners they when they're trying

02:15:35.560 to analyze um islamic terror groups and their relationships they'll be like oh well this one's

02:15:42.680 sunni and this one's shia that you know they're not going to be working together they're going

02:15:46.600 to be opposed to each other when in reality um that's like a distinction sorry it's um

02:15:55.800 that's what i'm looking for it's it's like a division without a distinction right like it's

02:16:00.520 um oh so it's like a difference without a distinction um just because one is sunni and

02:16:06.280 one is shia does not mean that they so that they won't support and in fact um they do support each 0.68

02:16:14.680 other because these islamic terrorists are all united in their goal of you know expanding islam 0.85

02:16:21.880 and destabilizing the west and you know taking over various countries so um any person who 0.90

02:16:28.840 puts out an analysis where you know they'll be like well this group is sunni this group is shia

02:16:34.120 therefore one doesn't support the other um you know for example some people will say that uh

02:16:39.640 you know well the islamic republic is is shia and hamas is sunni therefore the islamic republic

02:16:46.840 doesn't fund or support hamas um 100 inaccurate right um these people either don't know what

02:16:54.440 they're talking about or they're deliberately lying um and uh yeah because um these these groups

02:17:05.960 will fund and support one another and in fact qatar um being a you know sunni country the

02:17:12.920 islamic republic being a shia country uh or like a shia dictatorship and um qatar being a sunni

02:17:20.120 dictatorship it doesn't matter they're they're still like big allies when it comes to um achieving

02:17:28.120 their goal of islamic terrorism and you know expanding the caliphate and and all that nonsense 0.50

02:17:34.360 so i'm glad that uh that this guy um said that because it's very important like he he he went

02:17:42.200 over it pretty quickly so that's why i just wanted to pause and just restate what he was saying

02:17:49.320 right like when it comes to islamic terrorism it's it's islamic terrorism regardless of whether

02:17:55.840 it's like sunni or shia or you know whatever so go back i'm gonna go back a bit and uh you know

02:18:02.900 just so he can repeat that point qatar's philosophy to its logical conclusion when in doubt pay it

02:18:09.300 didn't matter that these groups were sworn enemies fighting a sectarian war for the right price

02:18:14.440 qatar would fund all sides simultaneously this wasn't ideological alignment qatar is sunni-led

02:18:20.920 and doesn't subscribe to iran's revolutionary shiism but they'd pay shia militias just as

02:18:26.680 readily as sunni jihadists if it served their purposes after the 2006 israel hezbollah war

02:18:32.280 qatari reconstruction money flowed into southern lebanon rebuilding villages and hezbollah

02:18:37.160 strongholds where few other gulf states would venture those same neighbors watched this with

02:18:42.040 horror saudi arabia and the uae saw hezbollah as nothing more than an iranian terror proxy yet

02:18:47.960 here was qatar treating them as legitimate political actors it also maintained contacts

02:18:53.160 with yemen's houthi rebel groups getting them expelled from the saudi-led coalition for

02:18:57.320 allegedly cozying up to groups riad considered mortal enemies after october 2023 qatar kept the

02:19:04.040 money flowing to gaza even as international scrutiny intensified critics argued that with

02:19:09.160 Hamas controlling Gaza, any support for the enclave's infrastructure effectively strengthened

02:19:13.980 the group's governance when it wasn't directly siphoned off. Qatar, for its part, maintained its

02:19:19.700 long-standing position. Humanitarian aid shouldn't be conditional on political approval of who's in

02:19:24.400 charge. The people of Gaza needed water and electricity, regardless of who governs them.

02:19:29.180 By 2017, under U.S. pressure, Qatar signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Terror Financing

02:19:34.300 and claimed to strengthen its controls. The Treasury praised expanded cooperation,

02:19:39.160 state department reports noted continuing counter-terrorism collaboration but did anything

02:19:44.520 really change the fundamental willingness to pay remained only the mechanisms became

02:19:49.320 slightly more sophisticated they weren't going to stop doing what made them indispensable

02:19:55.240 how to get away with funding terrorists all right so all of this just leaves us wondering how does 0.68

02:20:01.240 qatar manage to pull all this off where does it get all of this money and furthermore even if it

02:20:06.360 has the means to afford all these operations, how does it get away with them? The Taliban and 0.98

02:20:10.600 the al-Nusra France aren't exactly unknown to the international community. They are extensively

02:20:15.560 sanctioned and internationally isolated. The money half of that has a very simple answer,

02:20:20.760 natural gas, and a shitload of it. While the region is infamous for its vast oil reserves,

02:20:26.840 natural gas is less common. Qatar alone, despite its tiny size, holds about one-third of the entire

02:20:33.960 region's supply. This single resource generates tens of billions annually, making Qatar the

02:20:39.480 world's second largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, behind only the United States.

02:20:45.080 Unlike oil, which fluctuates wildly and faces increasing competition from renewables,

02:20:50.200 LNG demand is growing as countries both transition away from coal, which burns far dirtier,

02:20:55.320 and away from Russia's supply. Qatar has essentially been guaranteed income for decades to come.

02:21:00.840 that money gets channeled through their sovereign wealth fund the qatar investment authority which

02:21:05.640 sits on over 450 billion dollars in assets they own chunks of barclays volkswagen harrods the empire

02:21:11.480 state building and seemingly half of london's premium real estate a story complicated enough

02:21:15.960 for another day let us know in the comments if you want to see that all this investment gives

02:21:20.280 them real leverage threatening qatar means threatening your own financial system but money 0.98

02:21:25.400 alone doesn't explain and that's how they've managed to creep into all these various countries 0.99

02:21:31.240 it's by buying out their businesses and assets and how they get away with hosting groups that

02:21:37.160 are considered international pariahs just about everywhere else on the planet the real answer

02:21:42.120 lies in a structure they've carefully been building over decades first is the american shield

02:21:47.400 al-uday base alone hosts 10 000 u.s troops and serves as the forward headquarters of u.s central

02:21:54.040 command majority of american military operations in the middle east run through here both in terms

02:21:58.920 of strategic planning as well as physical equipment then there's the diplomatic cover

02:22:03.000 qatar has cultivated which if i was the united states i would immediately shut down that

02:22:08.760 us base in qatar you don't need it does have at least some credibility going for it they don't

02:22:14.920 present themselves as sponsors or promoters of terrorism they're mediators humanitarian

02:22:19.800 facilitators and even regional stabilizers. When they host Hamas, it is for peace negotiations. 0.74

02:22:25.880 When they shelter the Taliban, well, that was quite literally at America's own request. 0.81

02:22:30.920 Every controversial relationship gets wrapped in diplomatic language that makes it politically

02:22:35.480 difficult to challenge. All this isn't to say that they haven't faced real pushback, though.

02:22:40.280 Back in 2017, it faced the test of the century. While most Gulf states had long coordinated their

02:22:45.720 foreign policies, Qatar had spent decades charting its own course, maintaining relationships with

02:22:50.600 everyone from Iran to Israel, from Islamists to secularists. From Saudi and Emirati perspectives,

02:22:56.200 these went beyond policy disagreements. The Muslim Brotherhood represented an existential 0.75

02:23:00.760 threat to their monarchies by espousing a revolutionary ideology that could topple their 0.99

02:23:04.840 thrones, and they had had enough of Doha's support for it. By June that year, Saudi Arabia, the UAE,

02:23:10.920 Bahrain and Egypt decided that they needed to take action, and not just in the form of another

02:23:15.640 diplomatic spat between the princes. They collectively announced a total blockade of

02:23:20.280 Qatar. Land borders were sealed, airports closed, ships banned from ports. Riyadh even made the

02:23:25.560 historically unprecedented, and admittedly slightly hilarious, move of threatening to

02:23:30.680 turn the country into an island by digging a massive channel across their land border from

02:23:35.400 sea to sea.

02:23:36.400 They issued a series of thirteen demands that essentially amounted to Qatar surrendering

02:23:41.560 its sovereignty, including closing Al Jazeera and severing all ties and support to groups

02:23:45.900 they categorized as terrorists, namely the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

02:23:50.140 It was a proposal that was dead on arrival.

02:23:53.000 Qatar's defiance was remarkable.

02:23:55.520 Despite being surrounded by these larger countries, they held their ground.

02:23:58.960 Years of doing business with isolated states had disadvantages, as it turned out, by making

02:24:02.880 friends who weren't afraid of further reprisals.

02:24:05.380 days of the blockade being implemented iranian cargo planes were landing in doha with food

02:24:10.500 and turkey fast-tracked military deployment onto qatari soil to deter any saudi military adventures

02:24:16.180 western powers specifically washington so guys um that's a really good example of how the like shia

02:24:23.940 sunni thing it's irrelevant when it comes to analyzing um the middle east and middle eastern

02:24:30.180 conflicts. So if you didn't catch that, during this embargo between Saudi Arabia and Qatar,

02:24:37.020 where Saudi Arabia cut off, you know, all trade with with Qatar. And remember, Qatar is a tiny

02:24:44.500 island, and it basically shares one border with Saudi Arabia, and the rest is the Persian Gulf.

02:24:51.780 So there's like, it doesn't have any other borders other than Saudi Arabia. So during that embargo,

02:24:58.540 when Saudi Arabia was trying to pressure Qatar, the Islamic Republic was bringing in supplies for

02:25:05.720 Qatar. And that's where the Sunni-Shia analysis, it just falls apart, right? Because both Saudi 0.64

02:25:14.720 Arabia and Qatar are Sunni. The Islamic Republic is Shia, right? So there's a conflict between 0.93

02:25:23.760 Sunni Sunni and then the Shia comes in to help the Sunni so that's a very very good example of how 0.77

02:25:32.400 when you just look at the Sunni versus Shia aspect of the Middle East you're not going to get 0.93

02:25:39.600 the full picture you're not going to understand what's going on and it's just a very 0.97

02:25:44.080 I find it's a very lazy way of trying to analyze and understand Middle Eastern politics

02:25:51.120 were not exactly thrilled with the development. The Pentagon made crystal clear that its operations

02:25:57.640 at Al-Udayd would continue regardless. The Gulf blockade be damned. Europe, for its part,

02:26:03.600 was worried about the flow of natural gas that it heavily relies on to this day to heat its homes

02:26:07.920 and run much of its industry. After three years, Saudi Arabia abruptly ended the embargo, and

02:26:13.280 crucially, Qatar made no public concessions whatsoever. The very groups and institutions

02:26:18.060 that sparked the crisis remained exactly where they were.

02:26:20.980 Hamas leaders continued operating from their Doha offices,

02:26:24.320 Taliban representatives maintained their diplomatic compounds,

02:26:27.240 and Al Jazeera broadcasts went on without interruption.

02:26:29.940 The episode that was supposed to force Qatar into submission

02:26:32.000 had instead proven their model was essentially untouchable. 0.74

02:26:36.300 The September 2025 Israeli strike on downtown Doha 0.98

02:26:39.280 should have been a watershed moment. 0.99

02:26:41.260 For the first time in modern history, 0.50

02:26:42.660 a nation had directly attacked Qatar

02:26:44.560 for hosting terrorist leadership.

02:26:46.540 Despite all their security agreements

02:26:47.740 with Washington, the message from those F-35 seemed unambiguous. Hosting terrorists makes

02:26:53.160 you a legitimate target. Diplomatic agreements be damned. 0.94

02:26:56.920 Yet what happened after those strikes reveals just how deep the dependency goes. The Egyptian 0.96

02:27:01.840 Qatari mediation channel, the same track that ran through the officers Israel had just bombed,

02:27:07.820 remains the only viable path for hostage negotiations or ceasefire talks. To whatever

02:27:12.180 extent Jerusalem was still willing to move through diplomatic channels, the road ran

02:27:17.280 took Doha.

02:27:18.280 The international community's response was equally telling.

02:27:20.580 The UN Security Council convened within hours to condemn Israel for violating Qatar's

02:27:25.140 sovereignty, with a notable addition of the United States which called the strikes counterproductive

02:27:29.860 to regional stability.

02:27:30.860 While not exactly an aggressive move, it nevertheless represents at least a pivot away from the

02:27:35.840 hardline support for Jerusalem's actions Washington has taken over the past several

02:27:40.220 years.

02:27:41.220 But the September strike may have been just the beginning.

02:27:44.300 Security officials have already framed the Doha hit as an unfinished job, and policy

02:27:48.420 analysts note the attack redrew the rules by normalizing high-end use of force inside

02:27:54.400 a US partner's capital.

02:27:56.480 Israel's message was clear. 0.98

02:27:57.700 We can and will strike Doha again. 0.90

02:28:00.340 Qatar's role as Hamas's protector now comes with the risk of Israeli jets over their skyline, 0.98

02:28:05.260 a cost-benefit calculation that no amount of American security guarantees can fully 0.64

02:28:09.620 offset.

02:28:10.620 The reality has made Qatar's long-time mediation role increasingly brittle, with each diplomatic

02:28:15.000 intervention now carrying higher political costs and greater operational security hurdles.

02:28:20.080 The pressure is mounting from multiple directions.

02:28:22.680 Netanyahu's government is explicitly demanding that Doha expel or prosecute Hamas leaders,

02:28:27.700 while financial and legal security of Qatar's payment channels, both state aid mechanisms

02:28:32.560 and private donor networks, is tightening.

02:28:34.900 Even if Qatar doesn't face outright sanctions, the political space for banking restrictions

02:28:39.200 and designations has widened considerably since September 9th.

02:28:43.660 Yet despite the strikes, other nations have taken note of Qatar's lucrative position

02:28:47.640 as the world's indispensable mediator.

02:28:49.740 Turkey, for instance, has expanded its own hosting of Hamas figures, though nothing approaching

02:28:54.340 the government-in-exile infrastructure that Doha provides.

02:28:57.320 The Qatari model of leveraging geography and resources to become essential by dealing with

02:29:02.460 unsavory actors may well be spreading. 0.90

02:29:05.460 That isn't to say Qatar is alone in this approach, though.

02:29:07.640 Amman, their neighbor to the southeast, essentially played the same role before Doha, just less effectively and less profitably.

02:29:15.280 The style in Muscat has always been quite different, operating much more in the shadows and behind closed doors, rather than hosting formal non-state militants.

02:29:24.140 They ran, for instance, the clandestine U.S.-Iran channel that enabled nuclear negotiations, and they have played a reliable role in hosting Houthi representatives for prisoner swaps.

02:29:32.980 This proliferation reveals something uncomfortable about how the international system actually works.

02:29:38.520 We need countries willing to pay the ransoms we claim never to pay,

02:29:42.720 to host the extremists we refuse to recognize,

02:29:45.500 to conduct the negotiations we can't be seen having.

02:29:48.760 Qatar recognized this gap between public principle and private necessity

02:29:52.180 and built an entire foreign policy around it.

02:29:55.300 Every government that condemned the September strikes

02:29:57.920 while simultaneously depending on Qatari mediation knows exactly what they're doing.

02:30:02.080 Qatar obviously won't face any real consequences for hosting terrorists, that much is clear.

02:30:07.260 What's more interesting is watching other countries realize they can play the same game.

02:30:11.980 When hosting extremist groups becomes a competitive market,

02:30:14.860 with multiple nations bidding for the privilege of being terrorism's preferred middleman,

02:30:19.620 the whole concept of an international parah starts to break down.

02:30:23.400 Moral flexibility has gone from being a liability to being the most reliable path to relevance. 0.92

02:30:30.380 Qatar has made itself so essential to the ugly business of modern diplomacy that even bombing 0.96

02:30:35.360 their capital can't break the dependency. In a world that runs on managing crises rather than 1.00

02:30:41.140 solving them, they figured out that being everyone's dirty friend beats being anyone's

02:30:47.240 clean enemy. The question now isn't whether Qatar can continue this balancing act. It's whether they 0.88

02:30:52.800 can survive it thank you for watching so that was really good um i definitely enjoyed that but uh

02:31:01.340 you know he speaks a little bit too quickly and also i think for people who know absolutely

02:31:08.060 nothing about qatar um a lot of information there to digest and he speaks about a lot of various

02:31:18.560 things but he doesn't really go um too much in depth but highly recommend watching this i just

02:31:24.400 liked um the video myself so if you guys are interested um it's a channel called political

02:31:31.280 fronts and qatar a terrorist's best friend that's what the name of the video is i agree with pretty

02:31:40.320 much everything um that he said there his analysis was spot on um as well um i want to go to one last

02:31:52.480 video here this one's a shorter one it's only about seven minutes long um this one was put out

02:32:00.800 three months ago and it's called friend of terrorists how qatar is buying influence in

02:32:09.120 Washington. And so, um, for many of you who, uh, know nothing about Qatar, uh, don't really know

02:32:16.540 much about the Middle East. Um, and you're all wondering, well, you know, what does this have

02:32:20.500 to do with me? You know, this is, you know, whatever's going on, it has nothing to do with

02:32:25.340 me. I'm an American. I'm in my own country. Um, whether you like it or not, um, you are being

02:32:34.240 impacted by Islamic terrorism, you are being negatively affected by Islamic terrorism, 0.79

02:32:41.140 and your societies are under attack by Islamic terrorism. So you can either wake up and learn 0.94

02:32:56.480 about it in order to arm yourselves with the tools and the knowledge you need, especially when

02:33:03.400 dealing with with politicians or you can just ignore it right um so this is a good you know

02:33:11.340 i haven't seen this video we'll watch it together um let's see if if it's any good uh it was posted

02:33:18.420 three months ago but only has 15 000 views and so this video is called friend of terrorists how

02:33:26.120 Qatar is buying influence in Washington. Influencing American Middle East policy.

02:33:34.300 The wealthy Gulf country of Qatar and here in the U.S., the Council on American Islamic Relations

02:33:39.580 are engaged in spreading extremist Islamic ideology. Qatar helps fund and support jihadist

02:33:45.580 movements, while CARE has been accused of connections to the Hamas terror group.

02:33:51.240 First Dale Heard brings us a look at how Qatar is spending billions of dollars

02:33:54.780 to buy influence in Washington.

02:33:57.520 You might think based on the warm relationship between Washington...

02:34:02.020 Wait, are you guys familiar with CARE?

02:34:05.060 I should, you know what, I should play that video from Bridget Gabriel again 0.99

02:34:08.860 because she exposes CARE and she exposes their link to the Muslim Brotherhood. 0.65

02:34:18.080 Gabriel, CARE.

02:34:21.340 Let me find it here for you guys.

02:34:25.340 Here we go.

02:34:29.580 Like there are certain videos that I should probably just like

02:34:32.620 have downloaded and saved on my laptop because I usually play them

02:34:36.540 once every other episode or something. But here's Bridget Gabriel. She is an American Lebanese. 0.84

02:34:45.020 She escaped Lebanon, escaped Islamic terrorism, and she has been working hard to

02:34:49.980 um expose islamic terrorism in the united states and other parts of the world so here's her

02:34:56.300 explanation about um care right so she says um this was her post from november 15 the muslim

02:35:04.780 brotherhood's plan to destroy america has been in action for over 30 years and we are now witnessing

02:35:11.660 the results terror linked groups like care are celebrating the wins of 42 muslim candidates in 0.79

02:35:19.100 the 2025 election and this is just the beginning wake up america while all eyes were focused on

02:35:27.020 new york and mamdani 42 muslim candidates backed by terror link network have seized key offices 0.93

02:35:34.540 across america proving that the muslim brotherhood plan to infiltrate and destroy america from within 0.90

02:35:41.500 is now a reality 76 muslims ran for office nationwide 42-1 three races still pending 0.63

02:35:51.260 the 42 muslim officials now occupy positions in some of the most influential jurisdictions in

02:35:57.820 the country from new york's mayor office to virginia's executive branch from michigan's

02:36:03.180 heartland to local school boards the newly elected officials span at least nine states

02:36:10.140 new york virginia michigan new jersey maryland washington ohio pennsylvania and north carolina

02:36:18.700 the list includes six mayors four state legislatures 20 city councils and commissioners

02:36:26.060 six school board members two judges and three other political positions you've seen me talking

02:36:32.700 about the muslim brotherhood plan for america and holding this document in my hand they told

02:36:39.580 us the plan now we're watching it unfold in real time this plan was written in 1991 we are 34 years

02:36:49.340 into it and as a refresher here's a paragraph titled understanding the role of the muslim brother

02:36:56.540 in north america quote the process of settlement is a civilization jihadist process the brothers 0.51

02:37:05.020 must understand that their work in america is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying

02:37:12.060 the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands the last page 0.96

02:37:20.060 lists 29 front islamic organizations in the u.s including the muslim student association which 0.83

02:37:26.940 Mamdani was a member of, and IAP, which later became CARE, Council on American Islamic Relations.

02:37:35.980 These Islamic organizations are celebrating a stunning milestone, the most significant wave

02:37:42.860 of Muslim political victories in American history, with 42 Muslims elected to office across the

02:37:49.740 United States. You would be excited too to add 42 Ilhan Omars and Rashida Tlaibs,

02:37:56.780 Jew-hating, America-hating people, to public office. CARE, the unindicted co-conspirator in

02:38:03.980 the largest terrorism financing trial in American history, is bragging about their successful

02:38:10.300 political activism. CARE's federal super PAC, the Unity and Justice Fund, is the weaponized

02:38:17.660 financial engine funding and winning U.S. elections. CARE is mobilizing Muslims and mosques 1.00

02:38:24.740 as political launchpads to build campaign infrastructure. The result is a political

02:38:31.080 machine operating from the pulpit to the ballot box. The 2025 elections shattered every record

02:38:39.100 for Muslim representation in American politics, marking a historic leap into municipal and state

02:38:45.460 power care and its affiliates are preparing a 2026 directory of elected muslim officials

02:38:52.660 and expanding programs to mobilize more candidates before the 2026 midterms the media calls this a 0.64

02:39:01.700 historic first terror-linked care calls this phase one and what is even more scary they locked 1.00

02:39:10.660 shields with the left whom i call useful idiots working together to destroy america and everything 0.98

02:39:17.460 you and i stand for this is why you need to be engaged now we need you in this fight especially 0.99

02:39:25.300 as the anti-semites and anti-america unite join me and act for america.org okay so there's bridget

02:39:34.180 gabriel's video um explanation about care the council on american islamic relations and so now

02:39:44.180 going back to this video i'm gonna i'm gonna start from the beginning because they mentioned

02:39:50.820 care right so now you guys can see the link between care and the muslim brotherhood in qatar

02:39:58.900 Influencing American Middle East policy.

02:40:04.240 The wealthy Gulf country of Qatar and here in the U.S., the Council on American-Islamic Relations are engaged in spreading extremist Islamic ideology.

02:40:14.120 Qatar helps fund and support jihadist movements, while CARE has been accused of connections to the Hamas terror group.

02:40:21.740 First Dale Hurd brings us a look at how Qatar is spending billions of dollars to buy influence in Washington.

02:40:27.500 You might think, based on the warm relationship between Washington and Cotter, that this wealthy

02:40:33.940 Gulf nation, awash in natural gas, is an outpost of democracy. After all, the country hosts the

02:40:40.840 largest U.S. military base in the Middle East. It will also be the home to a new Trump international

02:40:46.880 golf course and has given the White House a $400 million 747 jetliner. However, Cotter is basically

02:40:55.040 a kingdom, and according to critics, no defender of Western values. Qatar is the opposite of all

02:41:02.020 that. Qatar is an Islamist ideological emirate that seeks in every single step of its activities 0.99

02:41:12.140 to promote jihad. Yigal Carmon leads the Middle East Media Research Institute, or Memory, 0.98

02:41:18.680 And he says Qatar is a hub of Muslim extremism and a major source of international terrorism. 0.96

02:41:26.040 They do it in what you would call, on the one hand, soft power, using their immense wealth, 0.69

02:41:34.520 but also by hard power, by supporting every jihadist movement on the face of the planet.

02:41:44.340 The laundry list is a long one. The mastermind of 9-11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was a Qatari 0.85

02:41:51.120 government employee. Qatar has long sponsored the Muslim Brotherhood, which seeks a worldwide

02:41:56.840 Islamic government. Qatar finances and hosts Hamas and has backed Palestinian terrorism.

02:42:03.280 It has strong ties with Iran and the Taliban, and it broadcast anti-Semitism and lies about

02:42:09.620 israel as well as anti-american propaganda through its global tv channel al jazeera there have also

02:42:16.640 been reports qatar funds terrorists in africa who kill christians on october 7th qatar blamed israel

02:42:24.040 for the hamas massacre and when israel killed the mastermind behind the attack yahya sinwar the

02:42:31.080 mother of qatar's emir in a now deleted post on x wrote that sinwar will live on and israel will be

02:42:37.500 gone. An Islamic nation that hates Israel and supports terrorism might not sound surprising,

02:42:43.760 but Qatari influence runs deep in Washington and within the Trump administration. White House 0.62

02:42:49.580 Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Middle East Envoy

02:42:57.400 Steve Witkoff, and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have either lobbied for Qatar, worked for firms

02:43:04.280 that did or had a business relationship with the emirate last month former education secretary

02:43:10.600 bill bennett also registered as a lobbyist for qatar his stated role will be to say that the

02:43:16.360 six billion dollars qatar has given to u.s higher education is not for the purpose of spreading

02:43:23.000 islamic radicalism qatar has spent almost 100 billion dollars yeah why would um why would qatar

02:43:31.080 invest $6 billion in American universities if they weren't 0.97

02:43:37.960 planning on indoctrinating and infiltrating youth. $6 billion is

02:43:44.640 a lot of money to invest in American universities. But

02:43:48.660 that's how they are able to create, you know, centers for

02:43:54.300 Islamic studies, and then they get basically get to pick and

02:43:57.180 choose um who teaches these courses and they also choose the curriculum right in dollars to curry

02:44:06.540 favor with the white house congress academia think tanks and corporations it also bought influence

02:44:13.180 in previous administrations when asked about the 747 being given to the u.s by qatar president 0.93

02:44:20.060 trump suggested he'd be stupid to turn down a free very expensive airplane but if nothing is 0.85

02:44:26.140 free in geopolitics, the price of the plane and the billions being dumped on Washington is more 0.99

02:44:32.340 Qatari influence, as the tiny emirate, which sees itself as the true seat of radical Islam,

02:44:40.120 hopes to leverage its close relationship with the United States.

02:44:48.460 Dale Hurd is here with more. Dale, with all this Qatari money floating into the U.S.,

02:44:53.620 you said nearly $100 billion. What is Qatar wanting in return? Well, they're obviously

02:44:59.020 buying influence. They want a place at the table. They're playing both sides. Look at them,

02:45:04.220 view them as a double agent because they have ties with Iran. They have ties with terror groups. 0.62

02:45:09.540 They also want to be strapped to Washington's waist. They've given us the largest base in the

02:45:15.440 Middle East there. They look at it as a balanced portfolio. They're trying to mitigate the

02:45:23.460 risks from both sides. But I didn't want with this piece to bash the Trump administration per se,

02:45:30.440 but people need to be aware that Qatar is not Switzerland. I mean, they have got their fingers 0.87

02:45:37.560 in some bad stuff and they have access to the White House. I'm sure the U.S. officials receiving

02:45:43.260 Qatari funds or connected to firms that receive funds would say it's the other way around.

02:45:48.180 The relationship is securing U.S. influence over Qatar and the Hamas negotiations, etc.

02:45:54.160 So is that true, or is Qatar playing the Trump administration and members of Congress?

02:46:00.360 You know, Yagal Carmon, who was in the story, the head of memory, after the interview, he said,

02:46:06.000 Dale, the U.S. is so, you people are so good, you're so nice, you can't imagine that there's a nation out there that is lying to you. 0.85

02:46:14.200 But they do seek the destruction of Israel. 0.91

02:46:16.940 They do fund Hamas. 0.82

02:46:18.640 They did have a role in October 7th. 0.98

02:46:20.820 They do host the Muslim Brotherhood. 0.93

02:46:23.120 And we have the Amir Thani, the leader of Qatar, 0.93

02:46:27.000 bragging that not the Saudis, 0.95

02:46:29.400 but they're the true heirs of the Wahhabis. 0.78

02:46:33.020 They come from the Wahhabi line. 0.74

02:46:35.240 Well, the Wahhabi ideology, as we know, 0.99

02:46:38.620 was the inspiration for 9-11, for the Islamic State, 0.98

02:46:42.020 and for terrorism acts around the world.

02:46:44.260 so they're not to be taken lightly okay very revealing dale hurd stay where you are we'll be

02:46:50.780 right back with you wow so i hope that gives you guys a little bit of an input um sorry a little

02:46:58.820 bit of an insight into how qatar is directly impacting um american policy i mean investing

02:47:09.520 $100 billion into a country, that's not an insignificant amount. And you have to question

02:47:18.680 what, where, how, why. Now, of course, we've seen all the other interviews and documentaries as
