What did Hasan Piker say that sparked the controversy?
Hassan Piker, he got interviewed by Axios. Welcome to this morning live stream, my friends. Beautiful 10 a.m. on the East Coast. And the big news this morning is that following an interview with Axios, a clip's going viral showing Hassan Piker saying that pound for pound, America is worse than Al Qaeda. Of course, conservatives are naturally offended by this. They're pouncing, as it were. Well, we got a midterm coming up. The Fed just raised interest rates, which is a knife in the back of Trump and Republicans. It's going to the very, very simple version is people are not very happy with the economy right now. Raising interest rates is going to slow the economy more than it is. And that's what the Fed wanted.
That's what these other banks wanted. And Trump's pissed because Trump wants lower interest rates. He wants people to be spending money. He wants to heat things up. So we got a lot to talk about. There's a massive global diesel shortage. I see from one of our friends on X commenting that in North Texas, they plum ran out of diesel. I also love saying they plum rent out something because it's an old timey word for like the worst, you know, straight to the top. Plum nuts, they say. But the question is, what exactly did Hassan Piker mean when he said that the United States is worse than Al Qaeda? There's a philosophy that I think people need to understand in power politics. The left understands this perfectly.
Hassan Piker understands this perfectly. Your opponents are always wrong and you are always right. And that means every mistake you make is the apocalypse and we don't make mistakes at all. It's always the right thing to do. The right in this country, conservatives, don't understand this. And that's why they often apologize. Moderates and conservatives will refuse to wield power. Not every single one, but many. And many will just outright apologize. And the reality is America is the best. And they want you to play their game, which is to agree to agree. America does bad things. America is bad because they're never going to say anything bad about what they do. In fact, Assange Piker can hold up Mao's little red book and he can say, thank you so much.
I have a question for you guys that are watching. I mean, comments below, actually. And of course, we've got we are live in X spaces as well. Anybody who wants to chime in, please reply to the space. Give a little comment with what you'd like to talk about and request to speak. And we'll pull you in later on in the show. I always say we because it's like it's the royal we of TV production, which used to have a bunch of people. But now I'm just literally me sitting here. But a stunt biker can hold up the little red book. So I have a very, very easy question for all of you sitting at home. A trivia question. It's worth 1,000 points. Do you know which individual in human history is responsible for the most amount of deaths?
I wouldn't be asking it unless it was obvious. It's Mao. Yeah, historically, Mao was responsible for more deaths than any other person ever died. And you know what? I would respect Hassan and these communists more if they would just come out and say they do want genocide. I'd be like, yeah, I get it. Because it's the blowing of smoke that I'm not a fan of. When you come out and you're like, oh, yeah, Mao, oh, he's good, and this, that, or otherwise. And you're like, yeah, he killed like 78, 80 million people. Some ridiculous number. And then they're like, oh, yeah, that's propaganda. That's not just just just come out and say you want the undesirables gone, the useless eaters and the capitalists can break rocks.
And I'll go like, you see, you see now I you're being honest with me. That's that's the idea of power politics. That's what I'm going to get into with this conversation. Hassan Piker issue. So, of course, my friends share the stream everywhere you can if you if you like the show. And of course, comments, super chats, rumble, rants, all that good stuff. We'll read those as well as pull in callers. Any ideas you want to discuss, debate, send a request on the X space and you can join this show live.
