El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

Terror designation isn't on Muslims. Its on groups. Cults who go against their own religion and morals. Israel is another example. Netanyahu regime is labeled genocidal war criminals. This is worse than being labeled a terrorist group. People have ICC warrants

The power vacuum caused ISIS. You always have to look at what will come after, and so many of these places don't have good opposition waiting in the wings to support. It would be different if they did, imho.

War isn't meant to make us safer. Not for over half a century. War is meant to enrich the Epstein Class. Eisenhower told us so decades before most of us were born. "Safety" is just the pitch - war profiteering is the prize. Both the Iran and Iraq wars have poured money into billionaire accounts.

Most people under 40 understand that, even most of them on the right. It’s mostly Gen X or older people who still have any significant numbers that buy into any of that horseshit. The Bush/Cheney wars of choice did an impressive job of disproving the old narratives about America defending itself.

No generation is a monolith, but there are trends. Just because my parents were lifelong lefty FDR types who didn’t buy Fox News BS doesn’t mean that the majority of boomers did eventually end up doing so. In much the same vein, most, but not all millennials & GenZ don’t buy the USA jingoism shit. 

We readily recognize the military industrial complex war profiteering, we need to recognize the profiteering of no bid contracts for vanity projects too. Vanity projects, tax cuts for the upper economic classes , then the Pay to play.

The USA has committed more political violence than all the “terrorist” organizations combined, and it’s not even close

No, they started another war with Iran bc Obama had anything to to with the previous agreement. And it's rly chilling. No, that is the fact that Obama was Prez when they signed the agreement Nothing else So a whole bunch of Iranian school kids had to die.

WE SHOULD NO WAY BE IN A WAR RIGHT NOW - THERE IS NO REASON FOR US TO BE IN ANY WAR - PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD A SOLID AGREEMENT IN PLACE - TRUMP STARTED A WAR TO TAKE OUR FOCUS OFF OF HIM RAPING CHILDREN- HES NOT EVEN OUR LEGITIMATE U.S. PRESIDENT!!!!

All that AND record oil profits for Republican donors and Vladimir Putin. They're laughing at us--all the way to the bank. #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

Deftly done. She’s not interviewing him. She’s trying to create racist terrorism porn Fox relies on. For years, elected Dems & Dem candidates have immediately ceded ground that somehow we’re soft on terrorist violence rather than arguing we’re not stupid enough to fall for their conflation.

Is there a Stepford Wives type programme these blonde bimbos have to undertake before being employed by Fox News? Surely they don’t willingly sacrifice their souls to continually promote fake narratives.

How many wars has China been in for the last 50 years? Answer: zero They’re not wasting their money on endless wars, and instead they’re building high speed rail, and providing healthcare to their citizens Every dollar spent on war is a dollar taking out of spending that could benefit humanity

He knows how to handle this network. The Fox entertainment hosts job is to: 1. interrupt the guest, 2. try to talk louder and faster to drown out the guest, 3. conflate issues to suit their political agenda

My one take-away from this 'interview' is that Mr El-Sayed is definitely the most patient man on the face of the earth!

Your assuming Trump want to "win". He did not. Trump is working to destroy America. Once you realize this, everything he does not only makes sense (for him) but becomes predictable. High oil prices help Putin and Republican donors. #TrumpIsAWeaponAttackingAmerica #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

“If you get into power will you label these groups that we don’t like as terrorists so that we can continue to go to war with them and ignore their global civil rights? Will you promise to label them so that we have excuses to break global laws and seize their natural resources? …please say yes”

I don’t think China has invaded anywhere since a short excursion into Vietnam in the 1970’s. Lots of noise about Taiwan, but the reality is no military intervention. Doesn’t seem to be their way, yet their world geopolitical influence hasn’t diminished. In fact, far from it!

"I'm not arguing that we need more war; I'm arguing that we have to defend American interests." Then, moments later: "I'm not here to make any argument."

The man holds holds a medical degree from Columbia University and a doctorate in public health from Oxford. Her polysci BA isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on as evidenced by her once likening the storming of the U.S. Capitol to a peaceful protest outside Josh Hawley's home a few days earlier.

Especially when we are constantly told the PZ is such a great negotiator! It’s all bullshit propaganda.

Every one of these stupid wars make things worse. They just put money in billionaires pockets. Trump has openly bragged about that. Trump and his whole family are war profiteering.

Honest to God, Abdul to me is even better at communicating his points & handling other people‘s hostile questions then Zohran Mandami. I went from being somewhat skeptical of him being viable in MI because of his name/religion/progressive positions, to being convinced he’s destined for the Senate.

To anybody in Michigan who still seems hesitant to vote for El-Sayed, I would ask them simply to listen to him speak at length with any interviewer, friendly or hostile. Listen to his ideas, his answers, & think about whether what he’s saying makes more sense than what his opponents are saying.

Why do Fox News reporters always ask Q's and then cut people off and not let them answer? It is so rude and ruins the interview, no matter whose side you're on. 😕

The right keeps trying to tie Muslims to wars & violence that have nothing to do with them. This is like their men in women's sports / trans diversions. Abdul is Egyptian by descent. Mamdani is Indian by descent. Trump plays footsie with Saudis because they pay him. Saudis were behind 9/11.

I'm so sick of these damn racist. Are Republicans going to condemn the KKK, the proud boys and other violent militias, the Nazis marching through our streets? No of course not they need their votes.

He never raises his voice, he never changes his demeanor, he just relentlessly continues to speak and get his point across. This is a master class in public discourse and debate.

Traditional right wing/corporate media attempts at derailing the conversation & creating “gotcha” moments are simply not capable of tripping up a skilled millennial progressive candidates. It’s like trying to win a modern military conflict, using weapons and techniques from the World War II era.

The middle east is like an oil fire and the wars Republicans get us bogged down in is like using water to put out that fire. It only spreads. For the sake of the military industrial complex donors on both sides.

At the end she said “I’m not here to make any argument” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 She’s pretending to be a journalist

Response to 9/11 could have been a police action or even a diplomatic negotiation. W said he wanted a war during his presidency. He told his biographer.Eisenhower warned us.

We could have world peace for a fraction of what we spend on war. Immigrants and Refugees flee their countries because it is a choice stay there and starve, be trafficked, or killed or flee. Terrorists become terrorists because they have no hope no future no options.

The US could lead a global initiative to fix the world to clean it up, to provide education, healthcare, a quality of life, options to violence and crime. Choosing Life would cost a fraction of Choosing Death. You create a basic standard of living in South America guess what immigrants stay home

She managed to spear herself. Oh dear, I’ve invited someone on who is logical, articulate, and is not thrown off when I talk over the top of them. Can we go to an ad break for gambling or alcohol please.

Dr. Oz has publicly and fondly spoke of his Muslim faith, and he’s a member of the administration, I wonder if she would ask him the same question?

This is what’s needed…he stayed entirely on point and was unapologetic in highlighting precisely what her position would seem to be (more war)…making her attacks all the more ridiculous.

Tell her to shut up and let him speak. It seems she has her mind made up where her allegiance lies. Why isn't she giving him snowball questions like trump gets? Notice, El-Sayed didn't call her names and walk out.
