Mehdi Hasan's reaction was top class. Can you imagine if he replied "I hope your music festivals are safe?" But no, Mehdi has the class that this guy will never have. Respect, Mehdi, thank you for your invaluable voice. ❤❤
It is like saying "I hope your house and/or business doesn't burn down," or "I hope no one kidnaps your wife and kids." The threat is completely unmistakable.
Ryan Girdusky was clearly stunned when he faced backlash from the panel. Obviously in his own echo chamber, what he said would be acceptable and a funny thing to say. But among decent people, it is easy to tell he is a sociopath. Keep up the good fight Mehdi. History will remember you well.
I know you're concerned with having your comment deleted, but you should try to be, a bit braver, and make your statement Clear!! Whom are you referring to??!!
Genuine question, what did he say? Happen to be proven wrong

@CharlieL292 Warch the video again and listen to what he actually said !! If you are on here to defend the indefensible play that game with someone else !!!
@@CharlieL292The reference is that Hezbolah had pagers that were blown up,saying Mahdi had a pager is referring he is a member of hezbolah and a terrorist inferring he could be blown up..that’s a threat
That guy really followed up "I did not call you an antisemite" with the most racist thing he could've said. Mehdi isn't even Lebanese or Palestinian (he's Indian), but because he's a brown muslim man that guy felt he could make a racist jab at him being a terrorist and get away with it. He definitely wouldn't have made the same comment to Owen Jones, Sam Seder, or Myriam Francois.
Every pathetic attempt he made to salvage this situation, in order. "No I did not say that!" "I thought you said... [drifts off]" "Do you support Hamas?!" "I apologise." "You did say you supported Hamas!" "I did not say you should die!" In 60 seconds he gave 6 directly contradictory statements. Speedrunning the old G.O.P. - Gaslight, Obstruct, Project.
That is INSANE! Supporters of Palestinians' lives should be unalived?!? There is no filter anymore. No matter the country, people are ready to say the most vile things to each other! How could this be the new norm??? Since when it is OK to accept the deaths of so many people and constantly glorify it? Where am I?
Mehdi Hasan, like Noam Chomsky, is a moralist, and like Noam he is knowledgeable and prepared. Good luck winning an argument with either man, and it is no surprise their antagonists resort to puny insults or threats. (See William F Buckley eviscerated by Chomsky on Firing Line re Vietnam War).
Referring to Mike Bankole saying 'hiding racism under satire' was spot on. I sincerely hope this ruins Ryan Girdusky's career and other racist writers, satirists and comedians that pedal their racist agendas.
This segment is excellent journalism. I love how everything is broken down and how you connect the dots for those that are not able to. Thank you for everything.
Didn’t really think it was racist as such; more of an actual death threat. Based on race, creed, etc of course but it seemed like it was just a barefaced threat. The stuff about thinking Palestine and Hamas are the same thing was racism, absolutely. Also, it’s wasn’t a joke, jokes are supposed to be funny.
We live in an age that platforms the worst in society and does so with shameless alacrity. When did we lose our common sense and objectivity? The total lack of self discipline practiced today is truly frightening.
Thank you CNN. After cheerleading for genocide and staying silent about the murder of 160 journalists in Gaza, you grow a bit of a backbone. I'd laugh if I hadn't cried for the last year.
"schrodinger's joke" If your horrible remark is called out, claim "you were only joking" Stewart Lee does a bit about the old Top Gear trio, where he says horrible things about Richard Hammond and then says "only joking"
The benefit of a Trump presidency/dictatorship is that ut'll help speed up the decline of the US Empire, this is why the Russian and Chinese governments want a Trump win. The problem is is that it'll probably be violent and he'll stop all the anti-climate change action the US US currently taking.
Why do we hold politicians to a lesser standard than political commentators? I know no one is advocating such a position but it is implicit from the video discussion
The most frustrating part about all of this crap is, these guys wanted the right to say that they are only joking, while they say the same kinds of stuff when they are serious, they want to have it both ways, when the truth is, they are probably only joking because they aren’t in power, and then when they actually are, what will you know, we’ll find out it wasn’t a jokes all along, because now they don’t have to pretend like they aren’t as nuts as they actually are
Just to be clear he said "I hope your beeper doesn't go off". Because he doesn't want to get hurt by an indiscriminate attack by the IDF, seen as collateral damage is not a thing for them.
Smug face , gloating ... He knows apartheid pariah country can do whatever it wants... without repercussions. Stop this monster country n its government.. please.
America is becoming a country of absolute low life! How could such an outrageous display have continued for so long. Why did the network not pull the plug the minute the vile remark was made? Kmt and smh. Mediocre, mediocre, mediocrity in abundance. Very sad place.
"Why, because when you hear Palestinian you hear Hamas?" The woman sitting to the vile racists right had the right question. For bigoted genocide supporters like him, they DO hear Hamas when you say "Palestinian". There is no distinction for them.
The comment was revolting, but here is the thing. If a British prime Minister can go on TV and say that Israel has the right to starve and desiccate an entire population of civilians, I am not sure the pager comment was as bad as that. (I apologise to my hero Mehdi if that seems to belittle the horrible thing said to him). The world is descending into an abyss, and our "civilized" Western leaders are pulling on the rope.
Mehdi Hasan's reaction was top class.

Respect, Mehdi, thank you for your invaluable voice. ❤❤
It is fun to see the Muslim take the high road.
Great analogy 👍
He is in your face, our Mehdi, but he is always a gentleman with it.
That’s the hard part about having a moral compass. Mehdi doesn’t want anything to happen to Israelis either. So he wouldn’t even say that 😕
@@kindGSL Happens every day. It is particularly common when Mehdi is in the room.
In case nobody noticed, that was a death threat.
It is like saying "I hope your house and/or business doesn't burn down," or "I hope no one kidnaps your wife and kids." The threat is completely unmistakable.

It's the whole "would be a shame if something happened" line used by criminal fascists across time.

Much love to all Palestinians and Lebaneses from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lebanese rule Brazil 🇧🇷
If Mehdi said something racist towards him it would have made world news . But since it's towards a Muslim, it's all good
Exactly
Since Sacha led the way, or was it Akhmed the T?
@@Dawah_HelpThe name is Ahmad not Akhmad!!
Well for once it wasn't all good. If that had been Bill Mayer's show, the audience would have given a standing ovation to the racist.
You're totally right. But I am happy this is still getting a lot of attention.
Ryan Girdusky was clearly stunned when he faced backlash from the panel.
Obviously in his own echo chamber, what he said would be acceptable and a funny thing to say. But among decent people, it is easy to tell he is a sociopath.
Keep up the good fight Mehdi. History will remember you well.
Decent people throw around accusations of nazism, they have the good sense not to make a joke about supporting a terrorist organisation.
What are you on about?@@callmedeno
It seems he planned that line but it backfired. He is used to impunity and being entitled
Damn the Z10mbie forgot that he was with some normies 🧟
The look on his face is incredible, you can see the panic setting in as he realises what he's done.
That's absolutely disgusting.
I know you're concerned with having your comment deleted, but you should try to be, a bit braver, and make your statement Clear!! Whom are you referring to??!!
It was a brilliant joke.
Trump 2024
If that's not a death threat I don't know what is !!
It was a disgusting thing to say but he didn’t threaten to kill him directly did he?
@CharlieL292 Didn't he ???
Yea right

When will people of the world say........
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ". !!!
I don't know how CNN condones Palestinians being blown up, but gasps at this.
Proximity.
They like to pretend to be humane for once.

Mehdi should sue that abnoxious guy Ryan.
He was openly threatening him. That was no slip. He meant that.
Sue? Why hasn't he been arrested already?!
US has the 1st Amendment so it probably wouldn't go any where.
@@GazB85no 1st amendment cover critique of the government not harassment or thinly vailed threats. He could sue for libel , or emotional distress.

Feel? Wherever you been since 2016?

What an absolute disgrace.

The question is, which "God" chose them? Loki?
So God loves us all but he has favorite people. Mmmh sounds like he’s human

Well good that Ryan was kicked off! Disgusting to say “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off”.
Americans think its normal to all speak at the same time - insane
There was a time when fascists were not such cowards. It's somehow worse when they are cowards.
Spot on

😂😂😂 no Mehdi Hassan supports Kamala Harris and interogates Jill Stein. He's pretty disgusting selling out to the Dems.

Referring to Mike Bankole saying 'hiding racism under satire' was spot on. I sincerely hope this ruins Ryan Girdusky's career and other racist writers, satirists and comedians that pedal their racist agendas.
Mike comes off a such a genuinely good person
It won't.
@@GazB85 Not so sure. It worked against antisemitism.
Seeing his response on twitter, could only think: Thats an....interesting way of saying you didnt make a crass death threat on national TV, Ryan.....
Imagine if Mehdi said I hope you’re safe at your music festival…double standards for Isnotreal is wild
SO MUCH VIOLENCE IN USA.
I think as a species we've totally lost our way...😔. We're disgusting.....
This segment is excellent journalism. I love how everything is broken down and how you connect the dots for those that are not able to. Thank you for everything.
I apologize, I apologize, I apologize, I apologize..
And then on Twitter later on claiming "it was a joke, very telling CNN can't take a joke".
What a total hack.
@@dvdv8197 The idea he apologized was the joke.

Excellent expose
Absolutely disgusting
Racsim and islamphobe terrible 😮
Looking at the clips of mehdi on TH-cam i would think twice saying something controversial towards him
@ft. Nothing "controversial" about death threat. So you claim you wouldn't challenge an educated, world renowned human. Punch down usually do you?
The new low

Mehdi can handle it with dignity but hope hard that the trump doesn’t become top dog - that would be a disaster.
Just imagine if that was the other way around!!
That's where the discourse in the US is going.
Bizarre. Way above the line. Just let’s hope the trump doesn’t win - for crying out loud.

It's the kinda thing Trump would say.. And get away with it 😅
this is just shy of a stand up presentation of the news :) thanks x x x x😊
He's an amazing man. Speaks the truth when other reporters won't.
Truly is a diamond
No, he's a Dem shill. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Smug face , gloating ...
He knows apartheid pariah country can do whatever it wants... without repercussions.
Stop this monster country n its government.. please.
You'll notice, this guy does a standard conservative debating technique: be willfully obtuse.
In case nobody noticed he didn't apologise. Saying " I apologise" isnt the same as saying "I'm sorry".
Big up Mahdi Hassan 👊🏻
The you’re a Goyem mask slip is hilarious
Give him a beeper too. He is just one of them
CNN has also shifted further right under the new owner. That was why he was on the show.
Every debate should just ask "is apartheid has right to exist?" Ask them how is Israel not apartheid.
When they talk over each other…
Calling out the "dog whistle"
America is becoming a country of absolute low life! How could such an outrageous display have continued for so long. Why did the network not pull the plug the minute the vile remark was made? Kmt and smh. Mediocre, mediocre, mediocrity in abundance. Very sad place.
A humble offering for the almighty algorithm.
Wow. This is nuts.
Holy fucking christ
CNN has been circling the toilet bowl for a few years now. This isn’t a surprise.
Good, let this be the unofficial opening
im not supprise
Another Pandora's box opened!
Sent him to prison.
Glad Mehdi Hasan handles the affront at CNN with aplomb after so effectively tackling antisemitism in the Labour Party.
Mehdi asked the ball’s sack what did you mean by beeper and Abby Phillips answered Ryan stop talking. How does that go by unnoticed?
This is America in 2024…23…22…
“Yes I did, yes I did”…weasel
These dude's cant stand mehdi for a sec... mehdi is 🐐 👑
I wonder how this would have gone down if Hassan hadn't reacted to the degree that he did.
Trump and his base don't differentiate between a stand up club and a rally.
To them it's all entertainment.
It's nothing new. The 80s had Morton Downey Jr.
Can someone recall, there's someone else on a different show had said same similar thing about the pager blown off? Anyone know?
Sick people on tv.
That is their idea of humor. I wasn't surprised at all. There are plenty of sicko's that think it's funny too. Hypocrisy at its finest/worst
"Why, because when you hear Palestinian you hear Hamas?" The woman sitting to the vile racists right had the right question. For bigoted genocide supporters like him, they DO hear Hamas when you say "Palestinian". There is no distinction for them.

Get in there, and make it about Starmer. 🤦♂️
Imagine Mehdi was Palestinian!
Come to American and see this bad behavior everyday!!
Mehdi Hasan is great !
That Puerto Rico joke was not funny at any level. The right wing don't really do humour do they?
cant he be prosecuted for threatening death?
Since when muslims life matters ? He was threatening muslims with death which is something totally legal .
The mass debation at the round table requires an Arthurian intervention.
Fascists gonna fascist.
Respect to Mehdi. From New Zealand where we PROUDLY stand with Palestine ✊🏾🇵🇸
Adam is not just stupid but he also have selective hearing 👂 👁️
