00:00:00.000 So Abdul Saeed wins a primary for the Senate in Michigan.
00:00:09.040 He was out raised, I think, around six to one.
00:00:12.720 She Haley Stevenson, who was very Midwestern in her manner, but also a pretty down the line centrist, Zionist, Democrat, maybe even Christian nationalist, raised $60 million.
00:00:28.940 dollars and lost um now abdul saeed's interesting he's egyptian his educational background is quite
00:00:36.720 impressive he went to the university of michigan and then was a road scholar and then i think went
00:00:42.320 to columbia medical school he's never he's not a doctor actually he's one of these who he has an md
00:00:47.620 but he's practiced in the public health uh segment he's run for election before and i think he's now
00:00:55.560 sort of let his hair down a little bit more as a as a progressive and he makes a case for medicare
00:01:01.040 for all and other things like that he's not a dsa member and i would also point out that very much
00:01:08.900 unlike hassan piker with whom he is campaigning uh he's he's not said anything about china but he's
00:01:15.900 he seems from his public statements to be 100 pro-ukraine which is interesting um so i don't
00:01:24.320 he is sort of on the dsa wave but not entirely he also wants to defund military spending to
00:01:32.640 israel maybe defund everything to israel and that's obviously stepping on some toes and so
00:01:37.680 there does seem to be a kind of callback of the bush era days you know laura loomer gets off you
00:01:44.960 know we're allowing sharia law to come to the americans things like so there's there's sort of
00:01:50.160 a lot of moving parts i guess and i don't know i i guess i would say that i'm ambivalent i i get
00:01:57.840 the whole anti-israel stuff i wish that we didn't have to package it with the dsa like can we just
00:02:04.280 not do the dsa stuff and do israel that one complaint um at the same time uh he seems like
00:02:13.540 and intelligent educated man i would prefer to cut out the dancing to taylor swift stuff but
00:02:20.940 i will just live with that i i don't know i i you can tell i'm i'm sort of ambivalent about this but
00:02:28.140 i don't do you have a what's your perspective well i'm ambivalent now into the general right
00:02:34.580 now that it gets to between him and a republican i actually am very ambivalent because i don't know
00:02:38.600 whether i want to punish the republicans more or if i want to avoid you know an open borders
00:02:46.560 trans whatever you know he also does that stuff it's like you know get rid of ice
00:02:52.320 exactly he does he packages some good things with some things or it's like
00:02:56.960 right and the good things are things that are fundamentally moot and this is the problem with
00:03:03.840 a lot of the Rashida Tlaibs, the Ilhan Omars, which is different because it's very different
00:03:09.320 because it's the Senate.
00:03:10.120 Again, it's the Senate.
00:03:11.420 It's very strange to see this in a Senate race.
00:03:14.840 Like there's – you can see a million congresspeople win an election like this, but it's different
00:03:19.380 in the Senate.
00:03:19.820 But when you see someone like Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar and they talk about Israel
00:03:24.740 and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it's like it's easy to do that because there's actually
00:03:29.240 no stakes involved because the parties are in lockstep for the most part even or the establishment
00:03:35.600 of the parties at the very least are in complete lockstep and they're not going to overturn the
00:03:39.280 establishment on this question so they can go to Dearborn and say oh we're going to stop all
00:03:45.220 aid to Israel and blah blah blah knowing that they're not going to with their singular vote
00:03:50.600 and well yeah it's different in the senate your vote is much stronger in the senate than in the
00:03:54.120 house but still that is moot whereas abolish ice and the trans thing and the and the all of that
00:04:01.280 sort of isn't moot yeah exactly they actually are able to push the needle on those things
00:04:06.120 and even during this during the um during the primary itself it was funny because you said
00:04:12.200 like you said it's like kind of hearkening back to the war on terror where it's like uh stevenson
00:04:17.240 was like we know that you want to blame everything on jewish americans and it's like okay but you
00:04:23.220 They immediately called her out on it, and they said that she was race-baiting, which is something that I was kind of surprised to see where it's like, yeah, she is race-baiting.
00:04:31.520 But I didn't think that anyone would actually call her out on it where it's like – another one was like – they were trying to call him sexist and blah, blah, blah. 0.97
00:04:37.880 It's like – or they keep trying to say, like, oh, your wife's in a hijab, but you're over here with the DSA hoes at a pool party. 0.98
00:04:44.500 And it's like, okay. 0.91
00:04:46.940 But it's like – what Laurel Loomer does in this instance is like say, well, he's a radical Muslim.
00:04:52.840 He's like Hassad Piker, a radical Muslim. 0.88
00:04:55.380 Like, he's not even Muslim. 0.91
00:04:58.580 If he's supporting trans rights, he's not Muslim, in my opinion. 0.98
00:05:04.420 I will very – obviously, I'm not a good Muslim. 0.85
00:05:07.940 It is very rare for me to what's called takfir a Muslim and say that such person is not a Muslim. 0.97
00:05:14.160 The trans stuff is something I absolutely do where I'm like, oh, so God can make mistakes now? 0.86
00:05:18.640 He can put people in the wrong body now? 0.97
00:05:20.320 Okay, so then what are we – so God's fallible now?
00:05:22.840 okay that's a that's a big difference that i'm a sinner you're making like theological you know
00:05:28.380 heresies you know so but someone like that who's like pro-trans pro-gay whatever gets framed by
00:05:36.280 laura loomer as a radical jihadi or a mumdani for example gets framed as like a radical jihadi
00:05:44.000 and then he turns around and makes an lgbtq office and appoints a trans woman as the thing it's like
00:05:49.360 so what are we talking about here and it's like unironically someone like me specifically is caught
00:05:55.960 in this like really between a rock and a hard place where on the one hand you have the muslim 0.90
00:06:01.820 representation being mamdani and abdul al-sayed or fucking sneeko on the other hand and then you 1.00
00:06:11.040 have a fucking idiot like sneeko who's an idiot in the same way the trs people are fucking idiots 1.00
00:06:15.860 where they'll be like, listen, he's saying good things about Israel. 1.00
00:06:19.880 You're doing such good things.
00:06:21.540 Meanwhile, the first speech that Abdullah al-Sayed gives after winning his lesson says,
00:06:25.960 I have nothing but the most respect for Jews and Judaism.
00:06:29.660 Judaism is not the same as Zionism. 0.97
00:06:32.320 We're anti-Zion.
00:06:34.160 But then Sneeko will say, oh, no, this is a win for whatever him and Dan Bilzerian are doing. 0.59
00:06:39.980 You know, Stryker will say that this is a win for whatever him and Tucker Carlson are doing.
00:06:44.620 and it's like it's not a win at all it fundamentally undercuts the thing that you're saying you care
00:06:50.040 about and you know what was even funnier was siko was praising abdul al-sayed's victory
00:06:54.920 daniel hakakachu which is one of these notable figures in the muslim media market
00:06:59.360 correctly admonished him and said actually here he is being pro-trans here he is being pro-gay
00:07:06.300 here he is praising judaism here he is denying the connection between judaism and zionism
00:07:10.580 And he goes, well, what do you want? You think there's going to be a caliphate tomorrow? The same person who yesterday was saying, we're going to have a, you know, every knee shall bend and every tongue shall, whatever, you know, everybody's going to be Muslim.
00:07:23.940 Now it's – no, the pro-trans, pro-gay, open borders Muslim is representation for us because he says he's an anti-Zionist.
00:07:33.000 So I find myself actually finding it harder – or not harder, but in a more tightly pinched position than I feel like I was after 9-11.
00:07:47.020 You know, after 9-11, I was getting – you know, I saw the Ben Shapiro movie trailer come out today, and I felt almost nostalgic.
00:07:57.760 Well, you were in flight school during 9-11.
00:07:59.740 Well, exactly.
00:08:00.180 Right.
00:08:00.580 So, I mean, you must have been very busy.
00:08:02.760 I can understand that.
00:08:03.900 Exactly.
00:08:04.540 But I felt nostalgic in a way.
00:08:06.800 I was like, oh, yes, we're vitalist, regressive, backwards, you know, terrorists. 0.91
00:08:14.080 Like it's not, you know, gay, trans, whatever, you know, present company excluded. 1.00
00:08:19.940 It's not like gay, open borders, trans, commie, hijabi, whatever bullshit. 0.99
00:08:25.040 But either way, it's like you're stuck between the Abdul Al-Sayed Mamdani and the Sneeko, and it's like, unironically, for the past five, six years I've been doing this, I'm like, I'm not a Muslim take seller. 0.96
00:08:39.100 I'm not here professing that my takes are based in my religiosity. 0.98
00:08:43.000 But now I almost feel like I have to be. I almost feel like I have to start being an American Muslim take seller because there needs to be some sort of third position between these types of – I don't even want to say extremes because they both work in tandem with each other.
00:09:03.800 what do you think is go oh sorry to interrupt you no go ahead well i i've i've met multiple
00:09:11.020 people you know just just in my personal life like mumdami like what is going on in their mind
00:09:19.740 because it it's like the millennial or gen x muslim where they want to have their hijab and
00:09:27.840 eat it too sort of because they also will march in a gay rights parade and they'll also say all
00:09:36.140 this stuff about feminism and they'll also denounce actually you know real anti-semitism
00:09:41.720 and things like that and i i guess one way of thinking about it is that they have a minority 0.98
00:09:48.080 mentality so it's almost like we got to stick together guys so the gays the blacks the muslims 0.60
00:09:55.580 like we'll all work in tandem so we can't really criticize each other and it's basically the white
00:10:01.060 i mean this seems to be where i mean this is at least my plausible explanation for where it's
00:10:06.760 coming no you're exactly right it's coalition does fundamentally make them or bad or just un
00:10:13.160 muslim i mean just just to be honest without why are you promoting homosexuality like or you know
00:10:19.940 or trans stuff or all sorts of stuff like what how does that make sense for you how do you
00:10:25.420 take yourself seriously without realizing it or maybe i won't say without actually i will say
00:10:30.940 without realizing it or at least without acknowledging it they are uh the muslim 0.89
00:10:37.580 equivalent of reform judaism yeah right because you'll see even some reformed jews will cover 0.99
00:10:43.280 their hair but they'll cover their hair in a funky donkey way you know yeah same thing um 1.00
00:10:48.040 or they're actually aggressive and and on quasi evil in the sense that they're promoting 0.94
00:10:54.360 homosexuality among whites or something but not their own community which is sort of you know 0.98
00:11:01.380 it's yeah but the mumdani ones the mumdani ones have no problem they'll be like queer muslims 0.80
00:11:06.600 whatever i was gonna say abdul al-sayed was recently interviewed maybe two or three days ago
00:11:10.680 or a day or two before the uh the before the primary by a woman i believe her name is amari
00:11:16.960 or amani or something like that she had a magazine called muslim girl and this magazine would have
00:11:22.500 trans women muslims and queer muslims and you can tell that she's one of these types of people 0.98
00:11:27.860 because the way she wears her hijab is she uh tucks it behind her ears the way that some jewish 0.82
00:11:32.900 women do right neck exposed but whatever and i think that they without without acknowledging it 0.82
00:11:41.160 because actually reform there's an arabic word for it that i can't think off the top of my head 0.99
00:11:45.140 The word reform is presupposed as a horrible thing. 0.90
00:11:50.500 You're not allowed to reform the religion.
00:11:52.860 I'm sorry, innovation.
00:11:54.260 The Arabic word is for innovation.
00:11:55.640 You're not allowed to produce innovation. 0.98
00:11:57.560 But these people with their, Muhammad's a feminist, actually Aisha was 20 years old, you know, gay Muslims exist, et cetera, et cetera. 1.00
00:12:06.860 Women can lead a prayer. 0.96
00:12:08.080 they're they're engaging in a muslim equivalent of reform judaism but they can't ever say it 0.98
00:12:13.800 because the word innovation in and of itself is such a buzzword that they would know that 0.70
00:12:18.780 being accused of it puts you out of the fold of islam
00:12:21.620 no that's but yeah it's a it's a tough time out here for uh not gay orthodox muslim whatever it's
00:12:30.140 it's difficult i have i don't know sagan i have to debate sneak go oh that's what i think it's
00:12:39.580 going to have to lead to interesting um yeah it is it is interesting i wonder if that mentality
00:12:47.100 is sort of transitory and it's going to change at some point that the the minority mentality
00:12:54.940 that i was describing of like we got to stick together and thus not criticize the gays the
00:12:59.580 blacks the i think as long as we have the civil rights act as long as we have this legal privilege
00:13:05.780 system it won't because yeah this is the thing you're say you're the american-born daughter of
00:13:11.440 a middle eastern immigrant right you may have been born of compared to your middle eastern
00:13:16.740 immigrants background and a relatively liberal type of whatever you maybe fasted for ramen but
00:13:23.680 you didn't cover your hair and you didn't pray five times a day however when you got to college 0.58
00:13:29.080 You put on the hijab in a funky-dunky way because that adoption of a visible Muslim identity helps you navigate the liberal institutions more fluidly because people know not to discriminate against you. 0.99
00:13:42.580 You're an obvious DEI hire. 0.99
00:13:44.500 You're an obvious token, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 1.00
00:13:46.820 So it benefits you to be this particular kind of Muslim, right? 0.93
00:13:51.660 So as long as we have this thing where the Civil Rights Act and discrimination based on race and national origin and religion is still a thing, that is still the broader incentive structure for them. 0.99
00:14:05.020 Very good point.
00:14:07.480 And inshallah, it'll change one day. We'll see.
00:14:10.360 I'm trying my best.
