- Description
- Michigan’s Progressive US Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed has a plan to win back Michigan’s Arab American voters, after Democrats lost them in record numbers during last year’s election.
In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, the Bernie-backed candidate tells Mehdi why he believes he is the “only” Democrat who can win Michigan’s US Senate seat in next year’s midterms and what it will take to win back those who abandoned Democrats last year due to the party’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza.
Mehdi and El-Sayed cover a wide range of issues in their discussion, including whether El-Sayed is worried about AIPAC targeting him, the Democrats’ failure to have a full reckoning over Gaza’s role during last year’s election and El-Sayed’s “Medicare for All” campaign.

- Some analysts call Donald Trump’s depredations so enormous that they can only be compared with ancient tyrants and dictators in other countries.
But the eminent historian Heather Cox Richardson of Boston College sees parallels between this MAGA moment and the American tumult of a century ago: the urgent desire to preserve white power against immigrants and racial minorities, the attempt to shield economic elites, the appeal of demagogues, the drive to dominate Latin American neighbors.

- Q: “Money and politics is the root of all evil in American politics today, right?”
A: “Your housing prices are unacceptably high. Your rent is unacceptably high. Your health care costs are unacceptably high because of corruption. Corruption is why the Congress and the government has not only not dealt with those problems, but is actually in many cases on the side of those who are creating those problems. It's the money flowing into the system.”
David Sirota, editor-in-chief of The Lever, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss his new book ‘Master Plan: The Hidden Plot to Legalize Corruption in America.’ In Sirota’s book, he uncovers a hidden plan created by wealthy conservatives to make bribery a constitutionally-protected form of speech.

- An Imaginary ‘Christian Genocide’ in Nigeria? Trump Is All Over It
- Date posted
- 6 months ago
- Description
- Our Nobel-Peace-Prize-obsessed leader is back to bring his (non) war-ending powers to… Nigeria? Yes, when the “terminally online” Donald Trump got wind of a new fake genocide, he was all over it. On Truth Social, he accused the Nigerian government of targeting Christians and threatened to invade, “guns-a-blazing.”
“There are human rights abuses in Nigeria… It is not a genocide, by any definition,” Mehdi says. “It’s ironic that the United States government will not say Gaza is a genocide, they will not say Sudan is a genocide. Both are being carried out with the support – directly, in the case of Israel, indirectly, in the case of the UAE – by their allies.”

- Description
- How does one fight illegal National Guard deployments, the kidnapping of immigrants, and creeping fascism? Well, if you’re a mainstream Democrat, there seems to be only one strategy – sternly-worded letters and weak press conferences.
At least, that’s how it seems to people like AOC’s former chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, who is challenging former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her seat in Congress. He joins Mehdi on this week’s episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered.’
In this interview, Mehdi asks Chakrabarti – the co-founder of Justice Democrats – why he believes Pelosi’s response to Democrats’ loss last November was, “completely insufficient.”
Chakrabarti also takes aim at Democrats’ current House Leader Hakeem Jeffries, with Mehdi asking the former Hill staffer whether Jeffries needs a primary challenger.
