I greatly admire Mehdi Hassan for being truly an honest journalist. He has always sided with the truth in his profession and his command of delivering various issues. Happy to see and hear him again. ❤
Why is there no discussion of what Trump's policy toward Israel's actions in Gaza would be? Trump and Netanyahu share a predilection for autocracy and antipathy for Muslims/Arabs.
Agree-do all these Michigan voters listen? Yes they can protest Biden’s policies but did they hear Trump promise to round up 10 million undesirables (do they not know Muslims are probably at the top) and inter them in Texas. A Trump presidency will annoy me but as a WASP I doubt my life will change much and my taxes will probably go down-yet I vote Democrat mainly to help others in this country. If their vote or nonvote elects Trump-no sympathy for what will happen.
Nothing good for the Palestinians, Gaza or West Bank. Trump endorsed Bibi, they are tight. Bibi and autocrats have no problem manipulating Trump who really likes getting buttered up.
They are part Woke; their vaccine stupidity and Pharma sponsors - hatred of Kennedy prove this, not to mention total stupidity about Palestine, Egypt, Iran, etc., etc., etc.
Great pod, guys!! All the treasures for us today with Medhi and Pete!! I wish you luck Medhi on your new endeavor. We need your voice. And Pete, you have my vote when you announce for your run in 2028 💙
I am a half Swedish, half Japanese, 56 yr old atheist living in Italy. No affiliation in any way to any country or creed. Being anti-genocide is abt basic humanity. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 Always a pleasure to listen to Mehdi Hassan!
I really don't get why so many reporters are freaking out about the damn ice cream. It wasn't like it was a planned event. They basically photobombed his meeting with Seth Meyers.
Put down the ice cream before you lie about a ceasefire, for a conflict where children are starving to death. It looks bad. Very bad. His whole Seth Meyers appearance was a disaster.
You honestly think that's going to happen?. America still has issues with Kamala Harris - all the abuse she is getting because of her gender and race........ Mike Pence - was utterly incompetent with no match for KH. Even then he hardly copped 1 percent of the abuse Kamala gets. No chance Mayor Pete will be in White House.
The ice cream does not matter, it was an optics argument. Optics in politics does matter, from a purely electability standpoint. It particularly matters to Biden re Gaza, bc many of his voters already see him as too callous on the matter of Palestinian lives. The substance is obviously fundamentally more important, which is why he then addressed the substance of the answer. Either way, it ended up looking bad for Biden, both in terms of substance and optics.
Buttigieg will never have enough support from blacks unless he finds a way to make amends for firing the first black police chief when he was mayor of South Bend. Pete was getting literally 0% of the black vote in multiple primary contests back in 2020. Also, I don't know if the USA is ready to vote for an openly gay president. We're still not even ready to vote for an openly non-religious one. And personally, as someone who supported Bernie in 2020, I think Pete is an establishment guy to his bones and I didn't like his attitude and some of the things he said during the 2020 primary. Like most establishment liberals, he sounds good when he's attacking Republicans, but he'll show his true colors when dealing with the left wing of his own party.
He ran before, I thought he was great but I think there’s too much intolerance of him being gay to be elected in the US. In New Zealand our Deputy Prime Minister in the last government is gay, nobody cares, we wanted a good job done that’s what’s important. He’s just announced he’s retiring from politics to take up a job at a university. Good for him, but a big loss to his party. He has been a Member of Parliament for about 15 years.
The problem here is that we’ll see a backlash like no-other if he was elected. Trump was a response to Obama and liberals get too complacent after a while and after 8 years of Pete imagine (I can’t) what the Rethuglicans would throw at us fascist communists
As much as I played this video wanting to hear more from Medhi Hasan, I have to admit I loved listening to Jon and Secretary Pete trading stories about what it's like to be Dads of toddlers.
There isn't a corner store that would hire him either. He's never even filled out a job application in his life, which speaks volumes about wealth distribution in this country.
Mehdi, I really appreciate the “just for context” comments you use throughout your commentary. I don’t feel we often explore the “ground level” affect of all these topics, and you do that quite well. Appreciate it!
It is so frustrating that Biden is not hearing that he needs to pull the plug by conditioning the aid. I am not an Arab American and certainly not young but this is very important.
Completely understandable. A big contributor to the uncommitted vote in Michigan was Armenian Armenians who want US aid to Azerbaijan stopped as a result of Azerbaijan’s ethnic cleansing of Armenians from their homeland in Nagorno Karabakh
great interview with Mayor Pete. Couldn't help but think of the Simpsons quote "Put your garbage in the garbage can people" when he talked about self driving cars.
My favourite thing about him is his incompetency. But equally great is having lgbtqi+ representation in government, more important that the role itself ino
Yay, Medi! for starting your own media company (Zateo News)! Can't wait. I can't afford a subscription, but will be rooting you on from afar and seek any posts that you might share on TH-cam. . . All the best!😃
Hmmm... Must not be from Indiana. He was a joke here... Which shows... He's a DEI hire. He failed miserably on a crap town how would aby one think he could run our transit system??? All of us HICKS have laughed our asses off. And he has proved every bit of laughter by being as useless here as across the country.
He has the presentation skills but I think his time as a consultant at McKinsey showed poor values and his politics are hardly visionary, he is a status quo dem with a lgbtq flavor, not the worst option by far but certainly not exciting. Honestly politically he reminds me of Hillary but with less baggage
I *ADORE* Pete Buttigieg.I contributed more to his campaign for President in that few months than I have contributed to every other politician in my voting years, and I’m 64. I’m from Northern Michigan and it’s one of my dearest dreams to run into him and his family one day!
Lose what of this great life ? Lose the no socialized healthcare ? Lose the no halting genocide ? Lose the No Green New Deal ? Lose the No gun bans ? Lose the roe v Wade overturn ? Lose the no climate crisis adress ? Lose this senile carcasse we call a President ? Lose the insider trading of Representatives which link them with big money ? Damn !

This is from a limited perspective. What about Ukraine? I feel like y’all got bumper guards around everywhere else. I’ve got a bit of an education from the past several years and this is as important as all other chaos.
Biden turned out to behave a lot further to the left as president than anybody predicted. I think some of us forget that. For a lot of far-left people (including me), Biden was a real compromise and concern. But he's actually been doing (or attempting) many of the things we wanted (to the extent that they're even realistic -- and even successfully pushing the boundaries).
I'm a 63-year-old lifelong Democrat and I love you Medi I've listened to him for years way back when he was on Al Jazeera doing Middle East debates excellent journalist excellence. 🎉❤
Who is able (if anyone) to get Hamas to keep their end of any negotiation? Is there any leadership in Palestine that can hold them accountable? Some in Israel are going at Bibi. Who can keep Hamas from violating the cease fire?
Israel created Hamas by continuing to encourage settlers in Palestinian territory and you want them to keep their end of any negotiation? Are new born babies and toddlers Hamas members that Israel sees fit to starve and kill? Israel has NEVER abided by any agreement since 1948
I think Biden has accomplished a lot! Trump isn't that much younger, I don't think he's healthier.. not to speak of the fact that Trump is evil! He's not going to fix things in Gaza! Biden has my vote! If you care about the US, vote blue! 💙🇺🇲

If I were Biden and I truly cared how people felt about issues close to their heart, I'd be paying attention and having meaningful conversations with them. I honestly believe that there's solutions to any issue when people work together for the common good! If he can stand with striking union workers, he should be standing with other groups who need him!! That's what a president for we the people does!
Can’t wait for Medhi to stop being the guest. He’s rather pretentious and loves a name drop. Every other sentence is “this is something I started writing about in October last year”. Alright Nostradamus, just comment on the current state.
I am so happy to hear Mehdi is doing his own thing. MSNBC did him so wrong. We need more honest reporting and less corporate media pushing approved narratives. Cannot wait to subscribe!
I'm so happy Mehdi Hasan has started his own media network. It's gonna be awesome, can't wait. It's MSNBC's loss. Mehdi is a gem, and his commentary is absolutely invaluable.
Said no one with half a brain. Mehdi Hasan has compared non-Muslims to "animals" and homosexuals to "pedophiles" and "sexual deviants.” The speeches are easy to find on the net. We all know his agenda, let’s not pretend to be stupid….
I hope young people who are slightly uninformed about how the politics of legislation or supreme Court decisions impact their lives were listening strongly to Pete in this interview. He is telling you how things work and so please get with the programme and vote blue and don't erase all the hard fought gains we've won 💙
I'm a 50+year old Granny. This war has gone on for too long... too much destruction of human lives and the infrastructure need to support them. All Bibi is doing now is creating future terrorists. The cycle continues. My heart is heavy for all affected. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Listening to Pete describing life with twins. I can totally relate! I'm the mother of not one but two sets of twins 16 months apart! The first set I was a single parent with a teenage son. You find ways to make things work; from feeding to changing diapers to playing to bonding on an individual level. I liken it to on-the-job training. You do what you gotta do! I wasn't afraid to ask my son for help or any of his friends or mine if they were around and I felt I needed it. Sometimes, I got it regardless. Having the 2nd set so close to the 1st set made things more hectic but also more interesting! Now, they're young productive adults at 25 and 24 years old who are doing well for themselves and I'm proud of each and every one of them!
Yaayyy🎉 twin moms rule! I know bc I’m an identical twin with a brother 18 months older. My mom thought we were one boy and supposed to be Thomas andrew. Then here we are🌻🌻. We are 51 so when we were little we turned heads bc there weren’t lots of twins around and my brother was so little. Now, just as we planned since we were super little, we live only a couple houses away from each other. She is my best friend. What a gift.
Great episode. I’m on it Medhi! As a mom of 6 & grand to 12 you & Pete had me laughing. Wait till you are standing in a line swaying & humming with no child present.
As an Albanian-Lebanese American who was born, raised and still resides in Detroit, myself and many I know abstained entirely or voted "uncommitted" this primary as a direct result of this administrations stance on what is happening in Gaza. This isn't just another news cycle story for us. We, loved ones or friends of loved ones we know have felt this in our communities. We want to urge the President into action to do something to curb the violence and bring it to an end as quickly as possible, not welcome fascism into the U.S. with open arms. None of us want to see Trump in office again, although I cannot speak for everyone. We have to, and will, vote our conscience and continue to hope it is enough to bend his ear and still push back against what could be even worse if Trump is re-elected in November.
I have no connections to Palestinians. I'm not Arab or Muslim and none of my lineage is from the Middle East. I'm a Christian Midwestern housewife (in a swing state). The carnage in Gaza has been horrific to watch. The more I learn about Palestine the more convinced I am that what is happening to the Palestinian people is a grave moral injustice. I am appalled by the role America continues to play in the oppression, murder, and displacement of Palestinians. It's been especially discombobulating to see the apathy and the "whaddya gonna do" response from Democrats and this administration. Biden and his administration have NOT done a decent job of projecting a sense of empathy for the Palestinians. Again, I say this as a person who has zero ties to Palestine. I think I am the voter they assume will be able to shrug it off and ignore it. But I can't. My husband (Caucasian, Christian, midwestern, white collar) is also horrified. We talk about it every day. We have voted in every single election for the past two decades. We are not voting blue no matter who. We don't like Trump. But we also get the message that the Democrats think (hope?) everything is fine so presumably they don't need us. The messaging is messy. It feels contradictory simultaneously: _Not voting Blue en masse will definitely end our fragile democracy. _We are NOT worried that Biden will lose. _If Biden loses, it's your fault. _We know everyone will vote for him in November anyway In the end...I hear the "we aren't worried about your vote" message loudest because of Biden's inaction and the Democrats basically making the rounds saying people who care about Gaza are Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians or progressive college kids - although we are none of those things. 🤷♀️
@@Lll20498 Good on you. Basically what the Democrats are saying about the people who voted to indicate their strong support for stopping the carnage in Gaza, amounts to a disinformation campaign. I know, hardly a surprise in politics. However when you're trying to present as saving democracy from an opposition candidate whose campaign is based in lies, how good a strategy is it really to mount your own disinformation campaign?
As a supporter of having a ceasefire, I need to know what happens with Hamas attacking Israel when there is a ceasefire? What is other people’s perspective on how that actually happens to prevent Israel having to defend itself again?
Hamasaki will come back do it again but the next time will be more organized for battle just like dumpy and his syncophites are preparing for a take over in 2025 after President Biden wins the 2024 election.
Look at the previous ceasefire. It was fine, Hamas kept their word, hostages were released, rockets stopped. The Houthis stopped attacking shipping. What didn't happen was the increase in aid, even now they are slow walking it and destroying the ability to deliver it. One of the biggest lie of great many by the Israelis is the idea you can't talk to Hamas or won't hold up their part of the deal. I am not worried about another Hamas attack in a future ceasefire. I am far more worried about Israelis unilaterally attacking or maintaining the blockade.
@@amosnider before I answer your question, can you answer my question because asking another question in the future doesn’t help me understand the current protest’s agenda. Please!?
For an effective ceasefire, both sides have to really want it, so that when there are rogue attacks they still hold the ceasefire. Sadly both sides are still a long way from this.
Good job. Someone has decided a button-down shirt and a new graphic background is impactful. Signed, Your Visual Graphic Desiger Friend and my two cents.
Yay, Mehdi! Also, Beau of the Fifth Column always says, "You can't win a primary without Trump, can't in a general with him." and apparently that is applying to his own race
Biden needs to talk about all the young and dynamic people he has on his team. It's not like he's doing all this good work on his own for God's sake. His age doesn't matter to me at all.
I greatly admire Mehdi Hassan for being truly an honest journalist. He has always sided with the truth in his profession and his command of delivering various issues. Happy to see and hear him again. ❤
Great pod thank you.

I really don't get why so many reporters are freaking out about the damn ice cream. It wasn't like it was a planned event. They basically photobombed his meeting with Seth Meyers.
SMH. It appears he can do nothing right. So sad.
Exactly. The public perception tyranny of “The story is whatever the first hot soundbite or social media post says it is…. is awful.
Put down the ice cream before you lie about a ceasefire, for a conflict where children are starving to death. It looks bad. Very bad. His whole Seth Meyers appearance was a disaster.
yeah it was just intrusive reporters. let the dude eat at least. can't talk with your mouth full anyway.,
IKR? What a set up. He was getting ice cream when they asked the question.

Love Pete.❤ Pete for president 28.
What does it matter if he is holding an ice cream. It does not matter at all. His answer mattered.
Mehdi's way too judgmental on this. The reporters were interrupting them. What would have been better? Biden ignore them and take a lick?
His answer was a lie. It is after the weekend. No ceasefire has been settled on. Israelis lied again.
The ice cream does not matter, it was an optics argument. Optics in politics does matter, from a purely electability standpoint. It particularly matters to Biden re Gaza, bc many of his voters already see him as too callous on the matter of Palestinian lives. The substance is obviously fundamentally more important, which is why he then addressed the substance of the answer. Either way, it ended up looking bad for Biden, both in terms of substance and optics.
Pete Buttigieg needs to be the next Democratic nominee for president after Bidens done in 4 years. He’s truly brilliant

Said no one with half a brain. Mehdi Hasan has compared non-Muslims to "animals" and homosexuals to "pedophiles" and "sexual deviants.” The speeches are easy to find on the net. We all know his agenda, let’s not pretend to be stupid….
I hope young people who are slightly uninformed about how the politics of legislation or supreme Court decisions impact their lives were listening strongly to Pete in this interview. He is telling you how things work and so please get with the programme and vote blue and don't erase all the hard fought gains we've won 💙
I hope Biden is listening and realizes he needs to stop assisting a genocide
I hope to see Pete out on the trail for Biden. He appeals to all ages.
Pete B for President 2028!
Good to see Medhi back. Big mistake MSNBC.
I'm a 50+year old Granny. This war has gone on for too long... too much destruction of human lives and the infrastructure need to support them. All Bibi is doing now is creating future terrorists. The cycle continues. My heart is heavy for all affected. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
I love Pete!! He's so awesome no matter what hat he's wearing whether it's Secretary of Transportation or a dad, he's got it together!!
Please have Pete on again.
Very, very, very good! Thank you guys.
My favorite thing is just hearing Pete talk about being a parent with a fond smile. Love it!!!
Gay
Good interviews with both. Thanks.
Medhi on PSA?!! Awesome!!
Well he's got nothing better to do after getting cancelled by Israel.
Listening to Pete describing life with twins. I can totally relate! I'm the mother of not one but two sets of twins 16 months apart! The first set I was a single parent with a teenage son. You find ways to make things work; from feeding to changing diapers to playing to bonding on an individual level. I liken it to on-the-job training. You do what you gotta do! I wasn't afraid to ask my son for help or any of his friends or mine if they were around and I felt I needed it. Sometimes, I got it regardless. Having the 2nd set so close to the 1st set made things more hectic but also more interesting! Now, they're young productive adults at 25 and 24 years old who are doing well for themselves and I'm proud of each and every one of them!
Yaayyy🎉 twin moms rule! I know bc I’m an identical twin with a brother 18 months older. My mom thought we were one boy and supposed to be Thomas andrew. Then here we are🌻🌻. We are 51 so when we were little we turned heads bc there weren’t lots of twins around and my brother was so little. Now, just as we planned since we were super little, we live only a couple houses away from each other. She is my best friend. What a gift.
Great conversations today…as always.
Great episode. I’m on it Medhi! As a mom of 6 & grand to 12 you & Pete had me laughing. Wait till you are standing in a line swaying & humming with no child present.
As an Albanian-Lebanese American who was born, raised and still resides in Detroit, myself and many I know abstained entirely or voted "uncommitted" this primary as a direct result of this administrations stance on what is happening in Gaza. This isn't just another news cycle story for us. We, loved ones or friends of loved ones we know have felt this in our communities. We want to urge the President into action to do something to curb the violence and bring it to an end as quickly as possible, not welcome fascism into the U.S. with open arms. None of us want to see Trump in office again, although I cannot speak for everyone. We have to, and will, vote our conscience and continue to hope it is enough to bend his ear and still push back against what could be even worse if Trump is re-elected in November.
I have no connections to Palestinians. I'm not Arab or Muslim and none of my lineage is from the Middle East. I'm a Christian Midwestern housewife (in a swing state). The carnage in Gaza has been horrific to watch. The more I learn about Palestine the more convinced I am that what is happening to the Palestinian people is a grave moral injustice. I am appalled by the role America continues to play in the oppression, murder, and displacement of Palestinians.
It's been especially discombobulating to see the apathy and the "whaddya gonna do" response from Democrats and this administration. Biden and his administration have NOT done a decent job of projecting a sense of empathy for the Palestinians. Again, I say this as a person who has zero ties to Palestine. I think I am the voter they assume will be able to shrug it off and ignore it. But I can't.
My husband (Caucasian, Christian, midwestern, white collar) is also horrified. We talk about it every day.
We have voted in every single election for the past two decades. We are not voting blue no matter who. We don't like Trump. But we also get the message that the Democrats think (hope?) everything is fine so presumably they don't need us. The messaging is messy. It feels contradictory simultaneously:
_Not voting Blue en masse will definitely end our fragile democracy.
_We are NOT worried that Biden will lose.
_If Biden loses, it's your fault.
_We know everyone will vote for him in November anyway
In the end...I hear the "we aren't worried about your vote" message loudest because of Biden's inaction and the Democrats basically making the rounds saying people who care about Gaza are Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians or progressive college kids - although we are none of those things. 🤷♀️
@@Lll20498 Good on you.
Basically what the Democrats are saying about the people who voted to indicate their strong support for stopping the carnage in Gaza, amounts to a disinformation campaign. I know, hardly a surprise in politics. However when you're trying to present as saving democracy from an opposition candidate whose campaign is based in lies, how good a strategy is it really to mount your own disinformation campaign?
This is a good reminder that Pete B is a NERD. Love him.
I am such a Pete Buttigieg fan. Thanks for having him on.
Why?
Why?? He’s arguably one of the worst transportation secretaries to ever take the job
We ❤ you, Mehdi.
As a supporter of having a ceasefire, I need to know what happens with Hamas attacking Israel when there is a ceasefire? What is other people’s perspective on how that actually happens to prevent Israel having to defend itself again?
Hamasaki will come back do it again but the next time will be more organized for battle just like dumpy and his syncophites are preparing for a take over in 2025 after President Biden wins the 2024 election.
Look at the previous ceasefire. It was fine, Hamas kept their word, hostages were released, rockets stopped. The Houthis stopped attacking shipping. What didn't happen was the increase in aid, even now they are slow walking it and destroying the ability to deliver it.
One of the biggest lie of great many by the Israelis is the idea you can't talk to Hamas or won't hold up their part of the deal. I am not worried about another Hamas attack in a future ceasefire. I am far more worried about Israelis unilaterally attacking or maintaining the blockade.
What will happen when Israel contravenes international law, which have been going on for decades?
@@amosnider before I answer your question, can you answer my question because asking another question in the future doesn’t help me understand the current protest’s agenda. Please!?
For an effective ceasefire, both sides have to really want it, so that when there are rogue attacks they still hold the ceasefire.
Sadly both sides are still a long way from this.
Good job. Someone has decided a button-down shirt and a new graphic background is impactful. Signed, Your Visual Graphic Desiger Friend and my two cents.
Yay, Mehdi! Also, Beau of the Fifth Column always says, "You can't win a primary without Trump, can't in a general with him." and apparently that is applying to his own race
Love Beau's channels. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Awesome, Mehdi. Looking forward to seeing you.
you go Pete, and build us some high speed trains out of Omaha to all the fun places like Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, LA Vegas
Medhi.....so glad to hear you will do your own thing! We need your voice more than ever!!
Meh, talking as if uncommitted won anything when they got the same numbers as ever is dumb.
Great interview.
Biden needs to talk about all the young and dynamic people he has on his team. It's not like he's doing all this good work on his own for God's sake. His age doesn't matter to me at all.
Mendi I always enjoyed your quality reporting. I am looking forward to your new venture!
Do you want to take that gamble, giving the orange Jesus the win.
How exciting Mehdi! Can't wait to support! ❤
I and all my family voted for Haley in the republican primary. We're all voting Biden just did it to piss off orange man.
We absolutely need Mehdi reporting!!!!
Whatever the number in Michigan John, it's the message being sent that should not be ignored by the Biden administration.
The daddy bonding at the end. lol
Yes Mehdi!
Crooked and Mehdi is an excellent duo. 💙
