"How is it that a 34 year-old Turkish-American socialist Twitch streamer is now a kingmaker in the Democratic Party of the United States?" Hasan Piker says he can take the heat. The famous political commentator has spent the past several months as the primary target of the Democratic party establishment for what they claim are his repugnant views. According to Hasan, the real reason is the success of the broader left movement that he has been a vocal advocate for.  Now, he sits down with Mehdi in Washington, D.C. to talk about becoming a "lightning rod" and the recent Democratic primaries shaking up the political landscape, like the upcoming Michigan Senate primary between the AIPAC-backed Haley Stevens and the progressive Abdul El-Sayed. The polls are close, the money is overwhelming (Stevens has a 12-1 spending advantage over El-Sayed), yet Hasan explains why he thinks "this race will shock the world." They also get into the whole Tucker Carlson debate. Is Tucker setting up JD Vance for 2028, or is he planning his own presidential run? Hasan and Mehdi unpack whether the right-wing Christian nationalist can be a trusted ally on Gaza and Israel.  The Hasans also discuss: Socialism's rising popularity in the U.S. Hasan being targeted by both Democrats and Republicans. Accusations of antisemitism. Mehdi's appearance on the PBD podcast. Marco Rubio vs. JD Vance. The hypocrisy of Joe Rogan and Bill Maher.  And which Democrat Hasan wants to run in 2028… This interview was published 7 days earlier on Zeteo.com.

Former City trader turned inequality campaigner Gary Stevenson has become one of the internet's most influential voices on wealth, wages and the widening gap between rich and poor. A bestselling author and self-described "Inequality Economist," Stevenson has built a huge online following by arguing that Britain's economic system is fundamentally broken. As his profile has grown, so too has the criticism. Detractors accuse Stevenson of exaggerating his success as a trader, dressing left-wing politics up as economics and profiting from a message of economic decline despite his own personal fortune. Now, with the release of his new Channel 4 documentary How To Get Filthy Rich, Stevenson is pushing one of his most controversial ideas yet: a tax on extreme wealth. The debate comes as inequality dominates political and economic discussion on both sides of the Atlantic. With stock markets reaching record highs, tech billionaires accumulating unprecedented fortunes and house prices remaining out of reach for many young people, questions about who really benefits from economic growth are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. President Donald Trump's reported $1.4 billion earnings from his digital currency business have reignited arguments over whether booming markets create prosperity for everyone—or simply make the wealthy even richer. As politicians prepare for the next election and wealth taxes return to the political agenda, the central question remains the same: does wealth eventually trickle down to everyone else - or should governments redistribute more of it through taxation? Piers Morgan is joined by former financial trader and ‘inequality economist', Gary Stevenson, PBD podcast contributor also known as The BizDoc, Tom Ellsworth, and editorial director at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Kristian Niemietz, to debate. 00:00 Introduction 03:27 Gary Stevenson explains his new documentary How to Get Filthy Rich 04:18 Piers challenges Gary for ignoring generational economic shocks like Covid 08:24 Dr Kristian challenges Gary's economic outlook on causes of growing inequality 10:40 Tom Ellsworth supports Dr Niemietz, calling for higher housing stock 14:13 Gary responds outlining why he believes billionaires are buying all our assets 17:06 Dr Kristian argues there already are substantial taxes on assets 19:45 The panel debate the politics and popularity of Zohran Mamdani 23:22 Piers tries to find out how much Gary Stevenson is worth 29:28 Gary Stevenson says Dr Kristian Niemietz is funded by billionaires for his opinion 30:39 Piers asks Gary to reveal how much he is worth 31:46 Dr Kristian argues with Gary's over trading predictions proving his economic diagnosis 33:36 Piers outlines what policies he would implement to improve the wealth of the UK 35:55 Piers and Gary debate whether Elon Musk is a force for good 38:53 Gary reveals how much he is worth “to the nearest £5 million” 42:34 Dr Kristian discusses the downsides of green socialism and net zero 43:01 Polymarket: Who will be the next UK Chancellor? - https://polymarket.com/event/next-uk-chancellor-of-the-exchequer-in-2026-2026062100531917844:44 Does Gary redistribute his own wealth?   Learn more about your ad choices.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the debate over what it truly means to be an American has never felt more contentious. From Supreme Court rulings on birthright citizenship to a chaotic lead-up to Independence Day celebrations, the country seems more polarized than ever. Piers Morgan tackles the state of the nation, discussing why even our independence celebrations are proving divisive - from cancelled performances to a deserted State Fair. And as an "exceptional alien" looking in, Piers offers a uniquely British perspective on whether the US might need a little more... royal unification. Joining Piers to debate the future of the American experiment is the Freedom Panel: Channel 5 host Andrew Callaghan, The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur, PBD contributor Sdam Sosnick, Bad Faith podcast Briahna Joy Gray and former White House correspondent Brian Glenn. 00:00 Introduction 02:02 Andrew Callaghan on what being an American means to him 02:56 Cenk Uygur on the birth right citizenship Supreme Court ruling 04:49 The panel react to Trump's TDS AI post and discuss the failings of the Democratic Party 10:16 The panel discuss the failed state fair and the lack of unity in America at 250 13:48 Are the panel proud to be Americans in 2026? 20:33 Is American Imperialism a betrayal of the Founding Fathers? 24:23 Cenk, Andrew and Adam debate free speech and Israel 28:35 The Pope's brother Louis Provost joins the show 29:52 Louis Provost on American exceptionalism and a religious revival in the United States 31:53 Louis Provost on his brother's decision to decline an invitation to the United States and his relationship with Donald Trump 36:03 Louis Provost on illegal migration 40:40 Louis Provost on his battle with cancer 45:43 Andrew Callaghan reacts to Louis Provost's comments about people brandishing non-American flags in the US 46:45 Best and worst presidents and the best thing about America Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve Hilton walks PBD through California's high‑speed rail “bridge to nowhere,” how Newsom's project ballooned from $30 billion to $231 billion, still has no track, and is now funded by hidden cap‑and‑trade taxes — all while Californians pay more for gas, energy and fantasy trains.

Costco's CFO says shoppers are trading expensive beef for cheaper chicken, pork, and even canned meat, as PBD and the panel debate whether this signals a looming recession and joke about “stripper index” spending as another real‑world warning sign people are struggling.

Trump calls Iran's tanker strike a mere “love tap” while warning Tehran of a “big glow” if the ceasefire collapses, as the PBD crew debates gas prices, U.S. resolve, and whether Americans will back tougher action.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore sits down with Patrick Bet-David for one of the most unfiltered political conversations of 2026. A Bronze Star Army combat vet. The first Black governor in Maryland's history. A man who was polling at 1% - and won anyway.But is he the Democrat who could shake up 2028? PBD makes the case.In this episode, Governor Moore doesn't hold back. He calls Trump's Venezuela operation "a ridiculous military operation." He praises Trump's Baby Bonds while calling out what he says are illegal federal overreaches. He admits he was personally disinvited from the White House governors dinner — and to this day has no idea why. He reveals what Trump said to his face the first time they met. And when pushed on transgender kids, puberty blockers, and whether he'd support his own son through a transition — he gives an answer that will have people talking.Plus - the story nobody knows: how a young Wes Moore turned down college basketball scholarships, played against Kobe Bryant in high school, and chose the 82nd Airborne instead.———
