Dear Mr Dacre My name is Mehdi Hasan and I’m the New Statesman’s senior political editor. My good friend Peter Oborne suggested I drop you a line as I’m very keen to write for the Daily Mail.

I believe the Mail has a vitally important role to play in the national debate, and I admire your relentless focus on the need for integrity and morality in public life, and your outspoken defence of faith, and Christian culture, in the face of attacks from militant atheists and secularists. I also believe - as does Peter - that I could be a fresh and passionate, not to mention polemical and contrarian, voice on the comment and feature pages of your award-winning newspaper. For the record, I am not a Labour tribalist and am often ultra-critical of the left - especially on social and moral issues, where my fellow leftists and liberals have lost touch with their own traditions and with the great British public. In my column in this week’s issue of the New Statesman, for example, I offered a critique of the five Labour leadership candidates, and their various inadequacies, accusing them all of lacking what George Bush Snr once called “the vision thing”. I could therefore write pieces for the Mail critical of Labour and the left, from “inside” Labour and the left (as the senior political editor at the New Statesman). I am also attracted by the Mail’s social conservatism on issues like marriage, the family, abortion and teenage pregnancies. I’d like to write a piece for the Mailmaking the left-wing case against abortion, or a piece on why marriage should be a Labour value, and not just a Conservative one. My own unabashed social conservatism on such issues derives from my Islamic faith.

In addition, I wrote a column last year condemning suicide bombings, from an Islamic and moral perspective, in which I also castigated Muslims for failing to unequivocally condemn such acts of terror wherever in the world they occur.

a 100 years from now, once the palestinians have all been repatriated and assimilated into the neighboring arab lands and israel is a regional super power, no one will remember AIPACs victims ========= just like no one remembers the United States of Americas victims when they did the same thing 1650 - 1800 as israel is doing today
Mehdi, such a class act! You handled it all in perfect style. You didn’t speak for anyone. You had graduated, and didn’t burn any bridges. Good luck with your new ventures. I am looking forward to fallowing you for years to come. Can’t say the same for corporate media.
America, needs to understand different points of views from around to world instead of listening to biases in the media. Thanks to Mehdi Hasan and other media outlets who offers another perspective to mainstream media.
That’s because he’s starting a company of independent ppl like just like how Daily Wire does it. It’s where the money is. He’s using a subscription model. That’s why he’s here because Breaking Points/Secular Talk ppl are the kind of ppl who would subscribe to Mehdi.
@@jillfeatherman5523Still, whether Mehdi is going independent now or not, I really think it was a big accomplishment, don't you? I really think it represents a milestone for them when you think about the sheer number of people that they've had on their show now, this isn't some small fry guy running a Twitch channel, when you get a mainstream name like this, you do wonder who else they may be able to get on this show eventually when people want to gain reach from KKF audience. I'm interested in seeing who they might have the pull to get next ...
He's ex The Intercept like Glen Greenwald, it's the normal circle of peers they have on. Blumenthal from The Grey Zone etc, it's no different to that. Just because Mehdi went mainstream doesn't mean he was any better
And he’s definitely giving a lot of “politician answers” as well, where he gives statements which don’t directly answer questions, and instead are semi-related statements which you can put together yourself, as though he’s not allowed to be direct.
Possibly just doesn't want retaliation from adjacent media people or to hurt his friends' jobs that are still there. I doubt there's an official NDA unless he was given a contingent severance package.
@@ChetHanks-eh1mdIf you've followed the media situation in the last, I dunno, 50 years or so, just the fact he had a job working at MSM makes him suspect. They don't let just anyone work there, you pretty much already have to hold views that are deemed acceptable by the establishment. For someone who worked for MSM, he was very critical of the establishment, and also very effective at that criticism, which is what got him fired in the end. But in the end, that allowed window of opinion at MSM is so narrow, that objectively speaking he's not a guy I would believe a single word.
And yet this video was titled “Medhi Hassan SPILLS THE TEA….” So much tea was spilled 😂😂 I stg Kyle be sensationalizing and exaggerating so much with these clickbait titles. One of the worst examples of this in my opinion was the recent trump video trump video which was titled “Trump says black people like him because of his criminality”. I’m no trump defender but he didn’t say that.

I take it matt taibbi is ;establishment'. He tore Matt a new one over Matt's lies about the twitter files. And Krystal's Breaking Points ran to Taibbi defense.
Mehdi's bosses was the Monarchy of Qatar. You know those radical Islamic Billionaire who are literally MONARCHS! He's not anti establishment nor anti Billionaire. He's simply for the Muslim Monarchs of OPEC.
Let me explain Mehdi. You can't take Mark Regev to the wood shed and stay on air. Good for you and humanity actually. He deserved it. Best wishes for the future.
He was the only person I wanted on MSNBC. Now I watch it as often as I watch Fox News and watch paint dry. When he came onto MSNBC I started watching but that was short lived.
I watch the occasional Joy Reed, Chris Hayes and Nicole Wallace, Joy talks about Gaza of and on, haven't heard much on Chris Hayes' show and haven't gone back to Nicole Wallace since her mat leave although she used to do a good job of covering the Russian war against Ukraine. The only one who always delivered every show was Mehdi and I now subscribe to his site.
Krystal you are doing an amazing job. Clarity of your thinking and expression of your thoughts is amazing. Heartwarming to know that some North Americans can still be neutral and not tow the voice of dominant destructive forces.

Okay. I'm asking. MSNBC, why did you cancel the show? Which caused me to question your integrity, and, in spite of being a 71 year old White Boomer, start watching A LOT more of the smaller independents. So, why? (Insert corporate word salad here __________________).
Be warned the same promoters of mainstream media are now promoting indirectly many of the alternative media . Eg talkTV, Piers Morgan, Valuetainment/PBD
Yes, I wrote a heartfelt strongly worded email to MSNBC when they announced his ‘diminished’ role, and I am also a white boomer in my 70’s. I wanted someone to see that Mehdi Hasan WAS speaking to their core audience…we can see how much they cared about that! I will try to save my pennies to afford a subscription to the Guardian. I miss him.
Mehdi has a bright career ahead of him. He has built a big enough audience from his MSNBC show that he can make his own podcast or RUclips channel now and would be quite successful.

She asked "do you consider yourself to have been "canceled" is her actual question. She also asked do you think that's why you left msnbc. So he didn't really answer either :(
He doesn't want to come off as a victim. I respect that. He was a central voice at a major news network. And he's choosing to carry that with dignity. Leftists should learn from his example.
If NBC replaced Tim Russert after he passed with Mehdi, Meet the Press would still be mandatory watching instead of the pathetic joke it is now. I just signed up to Mehdi's new venture Zeteo Media, looking forward to seeing him uncensored, we need to save journalism now before the IDF kills them all, so spread the word.
I like Medhi who is a fair, balanced and intelligent journalist. It is unfortunate he was silenced and forced out because of the Israelis treacherous and traitorous lobbyist in the US.
One of the FEW places we could find a real story was in our local papers and those are going under and being folded into the corporate structure. VERY dangerous. There are good sources out there but you have to look for them AND when I find a new source , I research them as best I can. I want to know who owns them and what their agenda is.
The fact that he didn’t need to censor himself tells you all you need to know. That’s the whole point. You wouldn’t be there if you weren’t within the acceptable boundaries
Great interview! For pretty much all of my adult life, this American has rolled his eyes, sometimes out loud, when hearing the words "Land of the Free" and "Freedom of Speech". By the way, I still do. Thank you Krystal and Kyle for doing what you do and the way you do it. Love you both. That goes for Mehdi too. ❤
Yeah, when Maddow left, I wished Medhi would get that spot. He's a stand out talent I hoped they would focus on, but they aren't really left-wing, especially not progressive,

Mehdi! It's good to see you again! I really liked your show and I love you as a person! I will definitely keep track of what you are doing because I want to hear what you have to say!
That lady also worked at MSNBC? I thought these were some mom and pop couple runnings YT channel from home. I didn’t realize they were professional journalists, although it makes sense given the quality of content.
I would love to see your 3 person format evenly staged with 6 OS camera angles. The “2 vs 1” is a little awkward visually. Great content as always!!!!!!!
I know it wasn’t just him, he had a team behind him as well literally helping him out and talking in his ear. But the way he performed during an interview, the way he could push back and correct the facts and ask the questions AND FOLLOW-UPS, that really got to the hear and truth of an issue is just… it is so RARE to be THAT good at it!! He always sounded respectful, calm (wouldn’t get hysterical with the guests) and NEEDS to be in prime time!!!
I missed Mehdi on MSNBC. I listened him all the time. His information was very informative and other things that weren't talked about. When I lisen to him, I always did research to increase my knowledge on the subject. He explained things so the average person could understand. I miss him and his insight. THANK YOU MEDHI . Looking forward to your next project !!!!!!!!!!
Love Mehdi and miss him on MSNBC. Unfortunately, I knew his days were numbered there because he does not hold back. Mad respect for him!

But as a British Muslim, I have also upset some of my more hardline co-religionists in the past by arguing, in print, for a change in Islam’s draconian apostasy laws to allow Muslims to convert to other faiths (like Christianity). Here is a New Statesman column I wrote on the subject in April.
In addition, I wrote a column last year condemning suicide bombings, from an Islamic and moral perspective, in which I also castigated Muslims for failing to unequivocally condemn such acts of terror wherever in the world they occur.
And, earlier this year, I wrote a piece for the Guardian belittling Muslim extremist Anjum Choudary and his crude, headline-grabbing attempt to carry “coffins” through Wootton Bassett.
A bit of background: I am 31, and was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, the son of Indian immigrants (an engineer and a doctor) who came here in the 1960s. I am an Oxfordgraduate. Prior to joining the New Statesman in June 2009, I spent a decade working in television as a news-and-current-affairs producer at ITN, the BBC, Sky News and Channel 4.

All of the victims of AIPAC should start their own network. The list of people would be ENORMOUS 😂
The Loby is working overtime!
a 100 years from now, once the palestinians have all been repatriated and assimilated into the neighboring arab lands and israel is a regional super power, no one will remember AIPACs victims ========= just like no one remembers the United States of Americas victims when they did the same thing 1650 - 1800 as israel is doing today
oy, such a list

Mehdi, such a class act! You handled it all in perfect style. You didn’t speak for anyone. You had graduated, and didn’t burn any bridges. Good luck with your new ventures. I am looking forward to fallowing you for years to come. Can’t say the same for corporate media.
America, needs to understand different points of views from around to world instead of listening to biases in the media. Thanks to Mehdi Hasan and other media outlets who offers another perspective to mainstream media.
When Mehdi went after (justifiably) Taibbi, Krystals Breaking Points attacked Mehdi. Krystal has a single perspective that no one can challenge.
Out their what? Or, do you mean there?!?
Antisemitic lies and propaganda, even when gussied up at "anti-Zionism" aren't "another perspective." They're just baldfaced, vicious lies.
Holy cow, you actually managed to get Mehdi on, this was big bro
That’s because he’s starting a company of independent ppl like just like how Daily Wire does it. It’s where the money is. He’s using a subscription model. That’s why he’s here because Breaking Points/Secular Talk ppl are the kind of ppl who would subscribe to Mehdi.
@@jillfeatherman5523Still, whether Mehdi is going independent now or not, I really think it was a big accomplishment, don't you?
I really think it represents a milestone for them when you think about the sheer number of people that they've had on their show now, this isn't some small fry guy running a Twitch channel, when you get a mainstream name like this, you do wonder who else they may be able to get on this show eventually when people want to gain reach from KKF audience.
I'm interested in seeing who they might have the pull to get next ...
He's ex The Intercept like Glen Greenwald, it's the normal circle of peers they have on. Blumenthal from The Grey Zone etc, it's no different to that. Just because Mehdi went mainstream doesn't mean he was any better
@@michelleryan1861It seems to me that you don't like the guests that they seem to have on.
Why do you watch their show exactly?
He was my favorite host and one of the few I trusted.
Truth! Love your profile pic! ❤️🇵🇸✊

He's racist sectarian snake who went to America to masquerade as a "liberal"

Bravo!!! Well done!!!!
Based on his answers he's obviously under NDA - notice how many times he mentions "all I can say," "I'm bound in what I can say," etc
And he’s definitely giving a lot of “politician answers” as well, where he gives statements which don’t directly answer questions, and instead are semi-related statements which you can put together yourself, as though he’s not allowed to be direct.
Possibly just doesn't want retaliation from adjacent media people or to hurt his friends' jobs that are still there. I doubt there's an official NDA unless he was given a contingent severance package.
dude lost his job for criticizing Israel give the guy a break, Jesus. So what if he has an NDA its his business and his public record is strong.
@@ChetHanks-eh1mdIf you've followed the media situation in the last, I dunno, 50 years or so, just the fact he had a job working at MSM makes him suspect. They don't let just anyone work there, you pretty much already have to hold views that are deemed acceptable by the establishment. For someone who worked for MSM, he was very critical of the establishment, and also very effective at that criticism, which is what got him fired in the end. But in the end, that allowed window of opinion at MSM is so narrow, that objectively speaking he's not a guy I would believe a single word.
And yet this video was titled “Medhi Hassan SPILLS THE TEA….” So much tea was spilled 😂😂
I stg Kyle be sensationalizing and exaggerating so much with these clickbait titles.
One of the worst examples of this in my opinion was the recent trump video trump video which was titled “Trump says black people like him because of his criminality”. I’m no trump defender but he didn’t say that.
Mehdi was a threat to the establishment and that includes billionaire owned media networks. Go Mehdi, you're the man!
Zioni$t$ own America Totally through....
1. Financial institutions ( Banks, stocks, investments etc)
2. Real estate market.
3. Universities, Colleges.
4. Judicial system ( Judges, Attorneys)

6. Hollywood.
7. Ninety percent Media .
8. Hospitals and Pharmaceutical industries.

10. Overall OWNS American politicians including President literally like Biches by lobbying in their campaigns ( That's why every politician is loyal to Israel more than America. )
Note : White folks are Delusional to think they own America.
Yup, 'sho you're right. Mehdi had 'em SHOOK.👊🏽👊🏽
I take it matt taibbi is ;establishment'. He tore Matt a new one over Matt's lies about the twitter files. And Krystal's Breaking Points ran to Taibbi defense.
He wasn't really a threat, but he was a pain for them because he occasionally has the guts to say the obvious.
Mehdi's bosses was the Monarchy of Qatar. You know those radical Islamic Billionaire who are literally MONARCHS! He's not anti establishment nor anti Billionaire. He's simply for the Muslim Monarchs of OPEC.
Excellent show Kyle and Krystal
Let me explain Mehdi.
You can't take Mark Regev to the wood shed and stay on air.
Good for you and humanity actually. He deserved it.
Best wishes for the future.
He stripped Regev buck naked... that was such a pleasure to witness.
Mark regev what a turd basket.
Thanks for you all three. Truth will prevail always with you all.
Loved his show.. Missing his show.
Was waiting for this on your show,
Thanks
He was the only person I wanted on MSNBC. Now I watch it as often as I watch Fox News and watch paint dry. When he came onto MSNBC I started watching but that was short lived.
Same, he was the only reason why I watched any MSNBC
He was there for several years.
Paint drying sounds like a Great watch comparatively to the rest of them.😂😅
I watch the occasional Joy Reed, Chris Hayes and Nicole Wallace, Joy talks about Gaza of and on, haven't heard much on Chris Hayes' show and haven't gone back to Nicole Wallace since her mat leave although she used to do a good job of covering the Russian war against Ukraine. The only one who always delivered every show was Mehdi and I now subscribe to his site.
Same, done with mainstream media.
Krystal you are doing an amazing job. Clarity of your thinking and expression of your thoughts is amazing. Heartwarming to know that some North Americans can still be neutral and not tow the voice of dominant destructive forces.
👍
When Rachel stopped doing her show a RUclips commentator mentioned MSNBC can't replace her. My two word answer was Medhi Hasan.
She's only there on Mondays. And she says NOTHING about Israel/Palestine. unless i missed it.
Whoa. So epic.
Indeed. Mehdi is above and beyond what she is capable of
@@jamedraa8472 nobody on that network or CNN are allowed to speak out
@@jamedraa8472Yes, she does address Israel and Palestine, and she does so often with a critical perspective, as do her colleagues on a regular basis.
Thanks for bringing him on. While I don’t agree with him on many issues, being able to question and speak freely is such a rare quality nowadays.
I've been waiting for this. Thanks!
I will not watch mainstream media again.
They do not care
Medhi is pure grimy grifter, in the UK he's a joke, this a letter he wrote to the Daily Mail. He's very two faced
Dear Mr Dacre
My name is Mehdi Hasan and I’m the New Statesman’s senior political editor. My good friend Peter Oborne suggested I drop you a line as I’m very keen to write for the Daily Mail.
Although I am on the left of the political spectrum, and disagree with the Mail’s editorial line on a range of issues, I have always admired the paper’s passion, rigour, boldness and, of course, news values. I believe the Mail has a vitally important role to play in the national debate, and I admire your relentless focus on the need for integrity and morality in public life, and your outspoken defence of faith, and Christian culture, in the face of attacks from militant atheists and secularists. I also believe - as does Peter - that I could be a fresh and passionate, not to mention polemical and contrarian, voice on the comment and feature pages of your award-winning newspaper.
For the record, I am not a Labour tribalist and am often ultra-critical of the left - especially on social and moral issues, where my fellow leftists and liberals have lost touch with their own traditions and with the great British public. In my column in this week’s issue of the New Statesman, for example, I offered a critique of the five Labour leadership candidates, and their various inadequacies, accusing them all of lacking what George Bush Snr once called “the vision thing”.
I could therefore write pieces for the Mail critical of Labour and the left, from “inside” Labour and the left (as the senior political editor at the New Statesman).
I am also attracted by the Mail’s social conservatism on issues like marriage, the family, abortion and teenage pregnancies. I’d like to write a piece for the Mailmaking the left-wing case against abortion, or a piece on why marriage should be a Labour value, and not just a Conservative one. My own unabashed social conservatism on such issues derives from my Islamic faith. But as a British Muslim, I have also upset some of my more hardline co-religionists in the past by arguing, in print, for a change in Islam’s draconian apostasy laws to allow Muslims to convert to other faiths (like Christianity). Here is a New Statesman column I wrote on the subject in April.
In addition, I wrote a column last year condemning suicide bombings, from an Islamic and moral perspective, in which I also castigated Muslims for failing to unequivocally condemn such acts of terror wherever in the world they occur.
And, earlier this year, I wrote a piece for the Guardian belittling Muslim extremist Anjum Choudary and his crude, headline-grabbing attempt to carry “coffins” through Wootton Bassett.
A bit of background: I am 31, and was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, the son of Indian immigrants (an engineer and a doctor) who came here in the 1960s. I am an Oxfordgraduate. Prior to joining the New Statesman in June 2009, I spent a decade working in television as a news-and-current-affairs producer at ITN, the BBC, Sky News and Channel 4.
I think it’s about putting corporate media in uncomfortable positions, pushing them and then dealing with the consequences.
Physician who have calls for cease for have been fired or asked to leave
Okay. I'm asking. MSNBC, why did you cancel the show? Which caused me to question your integrity, and, in spite of being a 71 year old White Boomer, start watching A LOT more of the smaller independents. So, why? (Insert corporate word salad here __________________).
Even liberal jews are for the genocide and covering up for Israel. ADL sure seems real quiet these days
Be warned the same promoters of mainstream media are now promoting indirectly many of the alternative media . Eg talkTV, Piers Morgan, Valuetainment/PBD
Because AIPAC. Because American military-industrial complex.
Because he said holocausts were bad
Yes, I wrote a heartfelt strongly worded email to MSNBC when they announced his ‘diminished’ role, and I am also a white boomer in my 70’s. I wanted someone to see that Mehdi Hasan WAS speaking to their core audience…we can see how much they cared about that! I will try to save my pennies to afford a subscription to the Guardian. I miss him.
Love Medhi and got his book both audiobook and kindle. Very recommended!
People on the left need to be in all aspects of life, on mainstream media, in positions of power, CEOs, everywhere
Agreed. Far left fascism needs to be everywhere.
Actual people on the left. Not phony posers like Kyle and Krystal.
There is no such thing as a CEO leftist. Neither will leftists ever be allowed on mainstream media.
According to every poll and census, they already are
@@bawerk8324but not in power
Mehdi has a bright career ahead of him. He has built a big enough audience from his MSNBC show that he can make his own podcast or RUclips channel now and would be quite successful.

She asked "do you consider yourself to have been "canceled" is her actual question. She also asked do you think that's why you left msnbc. So he didn't really answer either :(
He doesn't want to come off as a victim. I respect that. He was a central voice at a major news network. And he's choosing to carry that with dignity. Leftists should learn from his example.
@@bidhrohi12 Leftists or everyone?
@bidhrohi12 you're aware that he IS leftist, right?
yeah he didn't answer the follow-ups more directly either.

"When to draw the line and say is it worth it" Yep!
Excellent love MH and yall
Too bad MSNBC lost the best guy because he spoke the truth.
Amazed that Medhi didn’t ask MSNBC why. Come on!
What confused me is neither tucker Carlson, nor mehdi Hasan ever specifically criticised fox news or MSNBC even after getting fired
@@ExcitedGamingHeadset-pc2qmthey’re probably under an nda. Most corporations do that.
Will miss your excellent coverage Mehde
If NBC replaced Tim Russert after he passed with Mehdi, Meet the Press would still be mandatory watching instead of the pathetic joke it is now. I just signed up to Mehdi's new venture Zeteo Media, looking forward to seeing him uncensored, we need to save journalism now before the IDF kills them all, so spread the word.
I really miss Tim, Mehdi would have been the perfect replacement.
Where can we watch zeteo?
'Meet the Press' wouldn't be the "Dumpster Fire" it is today if Tim took better care of himself.
I like Medhi who is a fair, balanced and intelligent journalist. It is unfortunate he was silenced and forced out because of the Israelis treacherous and traitorous lobbyist in the US.
One of the FEW places we could find a real story was in our local papers and those are going under and being folded into the corporate structure. VERY dangerous. There are good sources out there but you have to look for them AND when I find a new source , I research them as best I can. I want to know who owns them and what their agenda is.
The thing is that he has a great background and much experience and can go anywhere.
AND HE WILL.
Mehdi is such a class act, love the guy and hope he gets an even bigger platform that he obviously deserves
Mehdi-I miss you deeply on MSMBC, BUT, continue to follow you wherever I can find you!! Your voice & POV are vital.
Damn!!!
Great interview!!!!
I came to know you through MSNBC. I came to believe your thing then was as good and
honorable a thing as it is now. Thank you.
Love Medi!
I agree. I loved your show
"The ADL dude." So professional.
Love Medhi and miss hearing from him.
Damn I’m happy you had him on 🙏
Nicely done bringing Mehdi to your show. Great job 👏
AIPAC is to U.S. Mid-East policy what the NRA is to gun policy. Thanks for great fair and insightful coverage.
Thank you for this
Clickbait - nothing revealed, signed NDA
Mehdi respects the intelligence of those who follow him, he knows we can read between the lines.
Awesome and truthful.
SPILLS THE TEA = “I’m limited as to what I can talk about”
The fact that he didn’t need to censor himself tells you all you need to know. That’s the whole point. You wouldn’t be there if you weren’t within the acceptable boundaries
4:15 It absolutely impacted him because he's no longer at MSNBC.
Great interview! For pretty much all of my adult life, this American has rolled his eyes, sometimes out loud, when hearing the words "Land of the Free" and "Freedom of Speech". By the way, I still do. Thank you Krystal and Kyle for doing what you do and the way you do it. Love you both. That goes for Mehdi too. ❤
Echo chamber. These three patting each other on the back. We are so good, so objective so brave.
The world needs more people like this.
Thanks!
Such a good interview!!!!!
Miss you Medhi. And I'm South African. Well done on the work you doing it. Please keep doing it on another platform
Great content! Side note: That pink suit is ON POINT!❤
This is the biggest interview Krystal and Kyle have had on their show
Lawyers, using litigation, control what we are allowed to hear and what we are allowed to see.
no tea was spilled
MH interviewed ( DeVos’ brother) when he was still the head of Blackrock “ security “ an excellent view.
The man! Go on guys can’t wait to watch this.
Great guest and show!
We need people like you three. We need you more then ever.Bless you all for yor good work.❤
One of the best interviewers ever !!
I'm so very sorry to see him go.
We miss you MH. Looking forward to your show in Dallas
Thanks. I miss him and was very disappointed he left.
Refresh listening to genuine and honest analysis of the facts of topics in questions

Yeah, when Maddow left, I wished Medhi would get that spot. He's a stand out talent I hoped they would focus on, but they aren't really left-wing, especially not progressive,

Mehdi!
It's good to see you again!
I really liked your show and I love you as a person!
I will definitely keep track of what you are doing because I want to hear what you have to say!
That lady also worked at MSNBC? I thought these were some mom and pop couple runnings YT channel from home. I didn’t realize they were professional journalists, although it makes sense given the quality of content.
He challenged his guests strongly and that is unacceptable on cable news.
Absolutely insane numbers for a Kyle video. Congratulations Kyle. I've been here for many many years and your growth excites me to the core!
I would love to see your 3 person format evenly staged with 6 OS camera angles.
The “2 vs 1” is a little awkward visually.
Great content as always!!!!!!!
Anyone else distracted by Krystal’s electric pink Barbie suit?
I know it wasn’t just him, he had a team behind him as well literally helping him out and talking in his ear. But the way he performed during an interview, the way he could push back and correct the facts and ask the questions AND FOLLOW-UPS, that really got to the hear and truth of an issue is just… it is so RARE to be THAT good at it!! He always sounded respectful, calm (wouldn’t get hysterical with the guests) and NEEDS to be in prime time!!!
Good on you, you left with the respect of your listeners
Great interview with Medhi!!
So great you’d Medi on. He is a bright man with integrity.
🙈🙉🙊As of June 2024 on MSNBC I'm still watching him on the show📺?? 💁♀️Change their mind 👀??
I was looking forward to this
Big mistake letting you go Medhi. You make the most sense. !!
Mehdi to Krystal: Hey, I remember you!
I'm not super into The Guardian but if he moves onto RUclips I'm totally subscribing.
Thanks
I missed Mehdi on MSNBC. I listened him all the time. His information was very informative and other things that weren't talked about. When I lisen to him, I always did research to increase my knowledge on the subject. He explained things so the average person could understand. I miss him and his insight. THANK YOU MEDHI . Looking forward to your next project !!!!!!!!!!
