The more I see of El-Seyed the more reasonable he seems. All these places are getting to have their gotcha moment and he always very calmly and intelligently shuts them down. Even if you didn't agree with him, he clearly states his positions and logic. I wish there were more like him.

    The bone-saw saudis should also drastically lose influence in US foreign policy, but that whataboutism was done in such bad faith.

    Abdul's ability to retain his ability to communicate in the face of blatant malevolent idiocy like this is incredible. I think I would have had a stroke during Ross' second stammering attempt at a question

    ...also, I had been aware of this guy as a "centrist respectable conservative" from awhile back and was surprised to learn he was on 60 minutes. Turns out he just joined in July. You're out of your depths, lil' buddy!

    Turns out he just joined in July.

    In addition to the Colbert trainwreck, CBS's descent into MAGA hit 60 Minutes around June when they fired Scott Pelley. I assume this is their attempt at a replacement. Not surprising he's an incompetent flop.

    God, this made my day. Be careful Mr. Al Sayed, the world is very unkind to people who speak the truth plainly.

    The full, extended interview is on 60 Minutes YT. Just watched it; very worth it. Dude kicks ass and does it so eloquently and intelligently. We need more of him.

    That may be changing, since the USA needs money: https://georank.org/economy/israel/saudi-arabia
